Lucida Console (everywhere)

I'm hip, it's those "Carefree 70's"... rock-on! Smell ya' L8r [^] ;)

It's a gas, man... far tout :cool:

To suggest that we must living in a computer simulation is to disregard the extra dimensionality of reality. It means only that our most advanced technologies tend toward the state of our reality. I think it would be more accurate to suggest that the knowable limits of our reality have much in common with computer simulations. A computer? Really? BIGGER! Think outside the hyper-cube :)

My oldest is Cyberspace.org (GREX.org) (since about 1998) followed by Monochrome (mono.org) since about 2004) GlobalVillage (globalonline.org) since 2005 CP since 2005 Of course InfinitelyRemote.com (It's Mostly A Web Site) has been my internet home since 2007

I am generally with you in the search and destroy method but thanks to that "Treatment" described, I have been able to repair a great many systems belonging to family, friends and neighbors with minimal disruption to their files and progs - in the worst cases I have had to bring in some specialized rootkit removers to clean some boot-sector nastiness. This has become known as "The $80 Treatment" - and the word gets around :-D Now that I think about it - seems lately the only time I reformat is to reinstall a "lunched" Linux distro that had just taught me one more lesson (like they do.) ;)

YW - Rare indeed are the times when the steps described in that wiki do not result in a fixed machine. I keep updated copies of the recommended software on my key chain so I am always ready to come to the rescue. :thumbsup:

I have been using AVG for several years in corporate (paid) and personal (free) environments. I have rescued many computers through the years that have had subscription AV programs that stopped protecting after the subscription had run out. Job one is always to remove whatever AV is installed and replace with AVG Free then give the Lunarsoft [^]"treatment". AVG has had its moments and I have begun to shy away from their security tool bar but it does keep a low profile and always seems to be there when it's needed. I once discovered a virus infections that they missed and submitted it to the team and it was included in the very next update. Impressed me more than the missed virus peeved me. I do notice that AVG has popped up quite a bit in this thread - should tell you something...

- save the pulp -

Gotta LOVE that FOR-IN-DO!! L_O_

Whenever I have to do bulk renaming I always include DOS in the mix... First I place all the files in c:\work folder entering the following in DOS C: CD C:\WORK DIR /B > FILES.TXT yields a simple text file with all file names listed one per line. then make a second copy of the TXT file COPY FILES.TXT FILES1.TXT FILES.TXT becomes the rename "Command" portion and FILES1.TXT becomes the "New Names" portion of the exercise. Many times the file names I am converting contain spaces so that means the RENAME command requires the name be encased in quotes. so using a text editor (I use JSoft's EditPadPro) I do a search and replace of carriage returns... FIND [CR] and REPLACE WITH: " RENAME " This puts a quote at the end of each line and the rename command-space-quote at the beginning of each line (with manual tweaking of the first and last lines). Save FILES.TXT Open FILES1.TXT in the text editor and with some thoughtful and creative "String Search and Replace" convert this list into the required filenames. Using the Block Mode Selection feature, copy this column of file names. Open FILES.TXT and paste this block into the far right field of the first row (making sure the block does not crash into the existing text.) Save FILES.TXT I then open FILES.TXT in CuteHTML because it has a "Code Optimizer" feature that allows me to remove all extra spaces from the file. Save the FILES.TXT as FILES.BAT Back in DOS run FILES and WOOSH!... easy-peasy. The whole process usually goes pretty quickly and is the best way I have found to deal with insanely punctuated filenames. I know this is nowhere near as elegant as you where hoping for but that is what I would be doing. change L to L00, change L001 to L1 to get the hundreds and manually fix L1.txt to L001.txt and on like that. more power to you!

I have been using fedora since it was redhat 6. It is very stable and well supported through its community. I have been using it in a production environment in a multi-server role and have never regretted going down this road. I do like what I hear about CentOS but wonder how it might differ from fedora (really) Word on the street is ubuntu is probably the friendlier entry point into linux. The important thing is to get and learn Linux of any flavor and discover how to make a computer work for you. Linux - "set it and forget it" I have a fedora system that I shipped 500 miles away for a branch office to plug into their network. They plugged in the cat5 and power and - i just checked - it has been running 399 days now without rebooting. (of course now that I said something...) Long Live Linux!

If you are afraid of loosing potential customers, how can you afford to NOT increase bandwith/speed on your internet connection or pay the $5 per mo more to your ISP for more storage space. geeeesh!

To make it easy for the customer might mean more trouble for you. But well worth it I would think. Why not set up your own web server on your internet connection. A 500MHz PIII could be dedicated to run PWS or IIS or Apache web server to allow streaming video from your location. Convert the AVI to FLV with FFMPEG and use Flowplayer to deliver the streaming video. If you have a dynamic IP address you can use the services of dyndns.com or dtdns.net to track your IP. If you have a static IP the service will supply you with a domain name such as http://[MyCompany].dyndns.org/ If you already have a website you can put the links to your videos there. Any solution that requires your customers to use services that are perceived to be outside of your organization will lower their opinion of your company. Dont rule out ftp though. Help to teach the masses that FTP is the way it is done by serious professionals. Suggest they get FTP client software. Give them a link to ftp995 (http://www.software995.com/[^] A free client with top drawer features (sell them on the ability to resume an interupted download) This is how we used to transfer 500mb files over 56K modem with 100% success. Sure it means a bit of effort on your part but once you can do this - the internet belongs to YOU!

Whats up with that? I've been searching the site and have not found the "NEWS" feature to be available in RSS. It seems that if it can be emailed it could be fed via RSS. If it cannot be done OR will not be done - I for one would like to know the score. If however, I am missing something, would someone please toss me a clue? Thank you!
