I have to disagree with this statement. I can only assume the writer of the article didn't know what he was doing. I have no problems with plain vanilla Word docs. I do have … [View More]

OT: captchas
by Tim reid 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

I have a question for the CS majors ;) Captchas http://www.captcha.net/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha Has anyone ever seen any writing on the idea of caching the different captcha images, manually decoding them and storing the "meaning" of the captcha in a database. Then cross referencing the "meaning" of the captcha with the image filename. That way you would have the ability to have a bot load a page/service protected by a captcha, read the image filename, and decode the captcha. … [View More]

The new beta also provides for a database front end. The features page for the beta suggests that OO.org always had a db tool, but only now have they begun work making it more visible and public. But more related to the thread is their WordPerfect filter. A good description here: http://wp.openoffice.org/filter.html Basically, they say right now it can import most WP documents but they don't have an export filter yet. Seeing as how I don't own WP I can't very easily test that feature for … [View More]

Re: Zone File Help

Jim, I must apologise, looking through all of my named config files I can't find one that has "@TTL" in it. I just mis-read something. What I do have is a couple of files that don't have the $TTL declaration as the first line, but begin with the "@ A IN SOA..." line and no preceeding "$TTL". The only problems I have are with some of the dynamic DNS addresses, and for some reason with all of the speedera.net addresses like www.nasa.gov, which always come back unknown.

I remember the Linux Corel WordPerfect app. I filled out a registration form for a free copy once. It worked fairly well but by then I had been corrupted by WordPad into only liking M$ Office-like word processing applications. Then StarDivision came out with a free version of StarOffice 5.0 and I never looked back. :) Linux StarOffice 5.1 installed into 120MB fairly comfortably, perfect for that first laptop with the 500MB hard drive. To those who don't know the history: StarDivision, a … [View More]

Re: Request for help: Debian firewall, and maybe some kernelupgradetips
by Brian Kelsay 16 Apr '05

ip_conntrack_ftp is a kernel module, but I'm not sure if it is on my firewall or not. A person could just check "lsmod" to see if it is loaded or "modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp" to initiate. Where in the kernel options is the support for this module? Under networking perhaps?
