  1. Exim is more robust in the way it scales and how it handles upon thousands of users and mailer plugins. For what you want, sendmail is the way to go. PhreeZone has a point about the configuration; however, newer installs default to only accepting connections from localhost so you're somewhat safe after you start it for the first time. Before you do anything, I would familiarize yourself with compiling software on your box and understanding what modules you need and don't need. Putting a linux/unix/windows box on the net and not knowing what services it's running, why they're running, and how to properly secure them is somewhat dangerous. Forget spamming for a moment, if you're exploited, you could be use as a part of distributed denial of service attacks which will get you kicked off your network. Don't take the above as a reason not to do it, just think and plan before you actually plug in to the net with it up and running. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  2. Just keep in mind.. any 'popular' methods (i.e. ones avail for download) are likely to be detected by spam crawlers. It's already proven that out of work programmers are 'for hire' to the spammers so keep that in mind. One of the tricks I do I store the ASCII char values of the email address in an array, then call a function to construct the email address out of the array. Sometimes I'll even store it in reverse and read the array right to left for another layer. Iota ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  3. Web Server - Apache + Mod SSL(SSL if you want encrypted Pages. Email Server - Exim is best, most difficult to setup, Sendmail is 'okay', easiest to setup. DNS Server - Bind, but you probably won't be running it--let your domain registrar do it for you. Although it makes it easier, a static IP is not required. Check out http://www.dyndns.org for information on dynamic DNS. You can setup your domain name to CNAME or redirct to your dynamic dns entry. As for the guides, there's plenty. Do a search on 'How-to' + for more details. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  4. I had the option for my own office, but choose not to. Instead, I choose to create an open air concept for my IT team.(All in one room, no cubicles) The result is everyone knows what everyone is doing (work wise) and we don't have to spend time on the phone/getting up just to coordinate activities. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  5. A few of us in math class had HP Calculators with built-in infared. You could load on app on there to use it as a remote control, which we did. Needless to say, we could control the TVs in the room from 30+ feet away and unless you knew that these calculators were capable of it--you were screwed trying to figure out why the tv is coming on, changing channels and increasing volume--'all on it's own' ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  6. Phffft.. I've been to college station. Why pay money at a strip club when a case of beer goes so much further ? ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  7. They call me..... tater salad. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  8. There's a few songs in that flash.. Care to be more specific which song you want to know and what's being displayed in the flash? The first 'song' after the intro is Rob Zombie 's Superbeast if that's what you're referring to. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  9. 27... Yup, my bday is halloween, so I'll be hitting the town with my friends celebrating. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  10. Yummy--unagi is pretty tastey, more so than anago.(Salt water) If you make it it to Vegas, there's a world famous sushi place at the hardrock called Nobu with awsome sushi. The original is in NY and it a pain to get in, but hard rock is completely doable. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  11. That makes common sense; however, think of a person at a bar. The person knows his limit, exceeds his limit, gets in a car wreck--It's the bar's fault (legally)--They shouldn't have served him that many drinks. I'd argue the same could be said for the DZ by providing out of date and potentionally dangerous equipment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking a side, just playing devil's advocate with what case law has shown us thus far. I'd like to think the poll isn't as black and white as we're trying to make it. Example: Assuming you're doing a tandem with an instructor and something 'bad' happens and it's later determined that the instructor was on drugs and an employee of the DZ knew it, but did nothing to prevent that employee from working. The sport of skydiving aside, that's down right negligence and the injuries weren't as a result of the sport per se, but the DZ's decision to allow that employee to work so he/she could generate revenue. I'm not implying anyting, other than I personally wouldn't want to vote without knowing all the facts surrounding the case. Iota ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  12. It's okay.. you're not the first person to have that happen. Check this out: http://www.pets.ca/forum/archive/index.php/t-6576.html Looks like peanut butter is the trick. Cheers, Iota ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  13. Ditto for me in Houston. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  14. Direct Connect Client/Networks are where more and more things are going these days. (do a google search for DC++ or Direct Connect). You'll be able to get a list of public hubs easily, but you need to ask around and get in on a private hub. The network isn't superior, the technology isn't superior (basic P2P xfers), just the concept. Direct Connect hubs are similar to the old BBS days in the sense they care about quality and if you don't share files, they will kick you out. Score a good private hub and you'll be set. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
  15. No I don't, but the businessman inside me just can't not think about it. If your average song was 5 mins, and she's able to do at least 10 dances an hour @ $20/dance.. That's $200/hr which is some serious coinage and all I'm trying to do is maximize my 'investment'. ----- 2+2=5 For Large Values Of 2
