RE: X Windows Question
by Jeremy Fowler 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Well, have you tried (while connected to your HDTV: ~ # Xorg -configure ~ # X -config /root/xorg.conf.new If it works, copy the settings from the new xorg.conf to your current one. If your running Knoppix or Gentoo, you can always install ddcxinfo-knoppix to find out the HorizSync and VertRefresh. The sources may be available on the Knoppix site, but I run Gentoo so I can just: # emerge ddcxinfo-knoppix

7z compression
by Curt 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Just downloaded a Gentoo based livecd that has XGL running on both gnome and kde.... Unfortunately, I can't seem to extract the iso image with either Ark, File Roller or Karchiver. I installed p7zip and using command line 7za I keep getting unsupported file type errors. I am unfamiliar with 7za and p7zip... Can someone offer info on how to extract this file? file name=RR64-Linux-3.0b1.iso.7z Thanks

Local prices regarding Cat5 runs
by David Ambs 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

How are local companies currently charging for running/terminating Cat5 cables? Is it on average a set price per drop/distance, or an hourly rate? What about customized work, such as any major fishing or such, any extra? I'm assuming materials are never included? Thanks -dave

http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/2006/ A comic that comments on the rights of fair use and parody within the copyright laws. It uses the example of an intended documentary on life in New York to examine the problems of copyrights and trademarks that can exist in the background of every scene. It is a must read for the budding film maker. Tux even makes an appearance on page 63. Can someone identify the bearded man next to him? I can't quite place him.

The only other 7z that I can think of is 7-zip, there is a command line version for Linux. Not sure why they would use it on a Linux distro iso, but you could try it. I got a source file for KISO in 7z format, but I haven't tried installing it yet. That is the only other place I've seen .7z used. http://www.7-zip.org/ >-----Original Message----- >From: On Behalf Of Curt >Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 7:12 PM > >Just downloaded a Gentoo based livecd that has XGL running on >both gnome and kde....

C# Object Relational Mapper
by Josh Charles 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Is anyone using a C# ORM or Code Generator that they feel is pretty decent? I've tried several, and they just don't seem to be up to the task: Nhibernate - a quagmire of too much. MonoRail / Active Record - quagmire as well, with too many 'hacks' needed to get it working. CodeSmith - too complicated. I would prefer something that works with newest version of the .NET framework as well as C# 2.0. I'm beginning to think that perhaps Ruby on Rails / Active Record has spoiled me too much... Josh

Looks like this bug might be related to what you are seeing. They have a workaround patch it seems. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-dev/200511.mbox/%3 c4590.436B4B5A.B6993238.dev(a)spamassassin.apache.org%3e

RE: What is the modern "Floppy-Based" router based on?
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

So the more important question to you was, can I trust a floppy formatted to more than the standard 1.44MB? I say yes. I have done it. I ran a firewall off one with Freesco for something like 2 years. If a floppy isn't going to work in this mode, you find out real quick when you try to format it and use rawwrite to put the .img file on it. I've had success with a ton of floppies, just not the ones with the cheapy plastic slider. Even some recycled AOL and Earthlink floppies made good Linux boot floppies. The other questions I think have been answered. >-----Original Message----- >From: On Behalf Of Leo Mauler >Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 11:41 AM >Ahhh, this kind of response is why I keep coming back here. >
