NEW Intel Xeon Processor 3.6 GHz w/ fan
by Luke -Jr 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Since it doesn't seem like I'm going to get a chance to make real use of the CPU, I'm going to try pawning it off before it loses too much value (when I got it, it was valued at $800!) I live in Omaha now, but I *might* be driving to KC tomorrow-- so if you don't want to pay shipping or drive to Omaha, let me know before then... We also don't have a use for the IDE-SWAP thing, since it ties up four 5" bays: http://omaha.craigslist.org/sys/409846483.html This is a new Intel Xeon CPU factory sealed in its original box and packaging. Model #BX80546KG3600EA, the lowest price Google can find for this is $349. It goes for as much as $994 at some stores! It has a 3 year limited processor warranty and features: - Dual Processor Capable - Intel NetBurst Microarchitecture (Hyper-Pipelines Tech, 128-Bit FPU, SSE3, Advanced Dynamic Execution) - Hyper-Threading Technology - Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T, the same as x86_64 or AMD64) - Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology - Intel-Designed Thermal Solution Includes Active Fan Thermal Solution, intended for a 3U server rack or larger. Asking $340 obo for this high end server CPU.

Linux SysAdm Position Open @ Assurant
by Joe Fish 30 Aug '07

Don't know too much about this, but was asked if I knew of anyone with Linux Administration experience. I can say I know they pay pretty well, and my buddy has been happy there for a number of years. You can respond to me off list if you'd like me to forward a resume to him -- don't know if that'd do you any more good than applying directly from their website, but maybe. Anyway, here's the link for the listing: http://assurant.taleo.net/servlets/CareerSection?art_ip_action=FlowDispatch… JOE

This whole thing makes me wonder something I never saw an update to. When Kevin Mitnicks encrypted hard drive was seized and he had served his time, there was a push to get it back. I never saw the results. Anyone ever heard on that?

xmonad users?
by Kyle Sexton 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Anyone out there using the xmonad window manager? It's in the same vain as Ion3 and Rat Poison, but for some reason it just seems to flow better for me. It's got a *tiny* code base at ~500(!) lines of Haskell code. Another quirk is that configuration options are actually compiled into the program. It's also has Xinerama support for those out there with dual head setups. Check it out if your interested at http://xmonad.org. -- Kyle Sexton

Evading Punishment
by Earle Beason 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

I disagree, I had more interactions with convicts then most, and I disagree with the thought our laws our fair and unbiased. I think this is perfectly acceptable solution for the dilemma at hand. It is not violating the parole restrictions, “monitor the use of the Internet,” as long as this condition is met, the parole restrictions are met Now, because circumvention of the monitoring software is so easy, I will have to say the judge and prosecutor are ignorant to computer tech. Every user here should know that Microsoft Windows can be bypassed with a LIVE CD, and Internet access may be gained. You can also get a “Free Internet” disk for dial up from AOL, Kmart, net zero and other companies, with spare hard drive and prepaid phone line. There are hundreds of ways to defeat such an order; the judge/prosecutor is crazy to think this is something they can really enforce. What they should have done was place a filter in with his IP provider and mandated that he keep the same provider, and inform the parole office before he changes IP providers. I have seen a filter of this sort, it tracked everywhere I went and kept a copy of everything I downloaded. Yes, I am the guy who advocate better right for convicts/felons/ and other "undesirables" --- Jonathan Hutchins <hutchins(a)tarcanfel.org> wrote: > > >>On Monday 27 August 2007 07:39:17 am Leo Mauler >>wrote: >> >> >> >>>He could put up a Windows box with the tracking >>>software, share its Internet out over a local >>>network, and use Ubuntu on a second computer >>>that gets all its Internet from the Windows >>>computer. >>> >>> >>I'm glad so many of you have never known or been >>involved with someone who has served time and is >>on probation.
