licensing bull; RE: Ssh into Windows XP?
...that say you won't comment on price, service, selection, etc, of the store in any article without explicit permision and review of the store's mangement. Sorry to go off on a rant...but the *assumption* that the license is valid in the first place pushes my buttons. Imagine a microsoft screwdriver license -- that you will not use the screwdriver on any other screw for which it was purchased -- and MS convinces that makes of screws must sell screwdrivers with every screw they sell (since not doing so would lead consumers to screwdriver piracy -- using the same screwdriver on multiple screws)....

OT: BIOS upgrades and booting without a floppy drive
...that the DVD-ROM drive blocks access to the floppy connector on the motherboard, so I'm looking at minor surgery just to stick one in temporarily. Is there any clever way around this? Some way to make a bootable CD from the floppy image, for example? Or must I grit my teeth and bring out the screwdrivers?

prevent users from fiddling with network?
...ically pulling AC power cord (or executing shutdown command) is more grave action than pressing toggle "on/off" switch image for network interface, thus killing network connection. So, I both agree and disagree with you. Namely, as with power I agree that local user (especially armed with screwdriver) can do a lot. Yet, I disagree that centrally managed "UNIX - like" (allegedly) workstation can be easily subverted in variety of ways by local user, effectively obliterating what sysadmin configured with something specific in his mind. My apologies, everybody. If I held myself from putt...

Replacement 7960 Handset
...voice from a Cisco 7960, I eventually found that the mic in the handset appears to be dead. Does anyone know where I can get a new handset (just the part you hold to your head, everything else on the phone works fine)? Or, does anyone know how to open one up? I tried doing a little prying with a screwdriver but gave up after marring the plastic a bit. I've googled but can't seem to find anyone selling just the handset. If you have one from a broken phone, I'd be more than happy to pay shipping, etc. if you want to sell it. Thanks, Pat

[LLVMdev] "Name that compiler"
..., elegant and somehow reminds of something technological (to me at least :P). So my idea is to list some key words and see if some nice portmanteau came out :) Wordlist: code, source, byte, compiler, optimizer, toolkit, language, assembler, machine, engine, translation (general llvm related terms) screwdriver (a generic helpful tool just like LLVM is) plasticine (gives the idea of modellability) fun (llvm is fun :P) matic, omni, over, uber, iper, etc. lego (the idea of modularity, or "building complex things with simple pieces") etc So it could be: omnisource, legolang, transource, screwpiler...

Debugging Privilege and Samba 3.0.11
Hello, I am striving to give out globally to our developers a way to debug their C++ applications, but I do not want to give them Admin rights on the individual workstations. I thought I found the light when reading on MSDN that to debug users need to be members of the "Debugger Users" group (according to VS.Net). This group seems to be created with a random SID when installing

/proc/xen/xenbus supports watch?
Hi, Anybody (Christian?) could please tell me if we can get the support for registering watch with /proc/xen/xenbus? (..OK, I know that we will change it this /proc stuff to a device soon) So far we can only do read/write/rm. I really miss the xen watch feature.

[PATCH] Convert shutdown to use xenstore
The attached patch: 1. Converts the shutdown driver and xend to use the store instead of control messages, 2. Includes Anthony''s xenstore notification code, and 3. Changes xend so that sysrq''s are no longer sent as "special case" shutdown messages. Store keys are cheap, so making the sysrq delivery less obscure is good. I think I have made all of the

[RFC] Switching store to use domain id''s for keys
Hey guys, As I go through the console code, I notice that the domain console information is being stored in /console/%d/domain instead of within the /domain tree as one would expect. The reasoning seems obvious to me, there''s no easy way to get the UUID for a domain so constructing a UUID based path outside of Xend is very difficult. Perhaps now is a good time to reconsider just

Awk and Vilno
...G. Very convenient. Vilno does have a lot of functionality that is a lot harder to implement in most other programming languages. (You can implement that functionality, but it would take a ton of code - the three merge-in options for Vilno are an example). The upshot: Awk is a hammer. Vilno is a screwdriver.
