AndyMan 7 #54 March 1, 2002 I've currenlty got 104 days of uptime on my windows 2000 production systems. I imagine the next time I reboot it will be something serious like a hardware failure.http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.buildviewprod.comThe two hundred bucks for a licence doesn't bother me that much when we're running on $20,000 worth of hardware. What does bother me is that $200,000 they want for biztalk licencing. Anybody know of open sourced integration platforms?_AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lummy 4 #55 March 1, 2002 Yeah, but I personally don't like having a big BULLS EYE painted onto my production machines. Don't get me wrong, 2000 is a good OS, I do use it at work and it DOES pay my bills, I just don't like the fact that every script kiddie out there is gunning for it.It's kinds nice to look at my security logs every morn and see:38 1860 deny log logamount 100 tcp from any to any 21 3358 213356 deny log logamount 100 tcp from any to any 35 43308 deny icmp from any to any89 6942 deny log logamount 100 udp from any to any 137-139 919 65973 deny log logamount 100 ip from any to Quite a few unauthorized connections trying to be established on a daily basisStill a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

Just push the Prt Scrn button up by the scroll lock and pause break. Then just paste it into photoshop or paintshop pro or something, that will let you save it.20 million bathtubs can't be wrong. . .

AndyMan 7 #61 March 2, 2002 I'm seeing WAY too many proprietary messaging programs.Go to www.trillian.cc, download trillian.Trillian will talk to users on AOL, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN.

indyz 1 #62 March 2, 2002 Here's a fairly staged screenshot. Blackbox window manager on top of XFree86 4.0.2 all on top of a Linux distro that started out as Debian Potato and slowly morphed into something unrecognizable. xemacs editing an XML-based image gallery templater in perl. Doesn't work yet. XMMS on the left with my playlist. The Aquabats rock. Freefliers in the background. 3 more virtual desktops, none of which I care to show you because they show private email addresses, screen names, or some seriously fucked up deviant hardcore pornography.--BrianHomepageAIM: suprmath Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #65 March 2, 2002 i think one of the biggest culprits for a poorly operating machine (next to having windows for an os that is) is downloading and installing every bit of shareware you can find. some of them are poorly written and can chew up memory, overwrite critical system files etc... i do that to an extent, but then i flatten the machine and rebuild from scratch every couple of months. at work we are pretty restricted as to what we can run, and that helps as well...

scottbre 0 #66 March 2, 2002 I remember back in the day, when programmers didn't waste all the resources that were available to them. They had to write efficient code, because computers couldn't handle sloppy coding and extraneous junk in the programs. Descent was an excellent example of this. That game was tiny by today's standards but it's still fun to play even now. 20 million bathtubs can't be wrong. . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #68 March 2, 2002 Here is mine... I'm a big MS fan so this is my versoin of XP thats been totally tweaked and edited. My IE is now showing in the titlebar as "Micro$oft Internet Exploder provided by the People for Better Security in an OS" Everything that can be altered has been, but most of it is minor teaks like how it handles IPv6 by default instead of IPv4 for internal networking and shit.... Leave a computer geek with a computer and who knows what the results will be...And the pics was taked by WildBlue on a far from decent swoop, but it was a cool pic so I am using it.
