vnc does not send passwords in plain text, but the password can be cracked if someone sniffs the key as well as the encrypted password.

i agree with jonw757. assuming that port forwarding is setup correctly, there are no software firewalls blocking requests, and you are attempting to connect to your public ip address there should be no problems unless your isp blocks the vnc port. the solution to this of course, is to change...

hmmm... i was about 16 i suppose. it was a k6-2 with a 12mb voodoo2. ahhh the memories.

you could get a bootdisk to get you into a command line with networking support, then stick the xp cdrom in another machine and share it.

i'm running slack 10.1 with fluxbox, and you don't see fahcore because i am running distributed.net's rc5-72 client.

sweet, thanks for the reply

i have an ssh server running on my machine right now that i use for some remote access. here are some of the current steps i have taken to lock down my machine: private key authentication only disallow root access allow only one username for logins white list of ip's with hosts.allow...

lol this is awesome. post her resume!

i don't see why you couldn't get another voip line with your existing connection

i have an athlon xp mobile 1700+ barton which runs 3200+ rock solid laying around. just wondering if anyone knows if i can pair it up with another one and stuff them into my dual processor system which has the msi k7d master mobo. i would like to get the same clock rate, 2.2ghz, out of them...

not as noticable as you might think, but its worth doing. especially if you plan on having the system for any length of time.

packard bell 386, oh yes!

linux generally avoids using the swap partition unless your physical memory is full. since you have 2gb of physical memory, you should choose a more consevative swap size because you will almost never use it. on my system for example, i have only 512mb of memory. my swap partition is 512mb...

your swap partition size is absurd

actually multi processor systems gain little when it comes to gaming over their single cpu counterparts.

i think its really close between WinME and, well.... nothing

once you put a computer inside the enclosure in the desk, expect it to get much hotter in there, even more so if the door is closed. further, if you were to line the inside of it with some sort of insulation you will do nothing but trap the heat inside that enclosure and probably just make it...

Weapons Factory - Quake 2

lol, whats up with the box of twizzlers? did you put that in there or did it come complimentary with your banged up ps2?

12mb voodoo 2, quake 2 was banging on that. i always wanted to get a second card and run sli, but never had the money. :(

i put a 6800gt in my shuttle sn45g, which came with a 200 watt power supply. no problems so far, even when playing games for long periods of time.

oh man, thats hot. nice job!

i agree. i have been using ssh with public key authentication to tunnel vnc for several months now with no problems.

you might try running those spyware removal tools in safe mode. i find that i have more success that way. and yes, firefox is your friend.

that is an obscene amount of dust. it appears as though air filters are definitely worth investing in...

you kinda answered your own question. although, you could most likely install any of the win9X operating systems and possibly even win2k if you have enough ram. iirc, the minumum specs for win2k are 133mhz and 64mb ram. it would probably not run too much different on 100mhz than 133mhz.

fear the back to back fluxbox desktops! :)

here is what i got currently... fullsize: http://poundofflour.net/images/desktop_large.jpg edit: wallpaper link http://poundofflour.net/images/what_once_was_lost_1280x1024.jpg

i ran into the same problem. i believe it is something with how the flash is being delivered from the site and not an issue with firefox at all. i changed nothing on my system at all, and i am no longer prompted about what to do with the flash file.

man, thats alot of pr0n. and i thought i felt like a sick bastard for having 20 gigs or so. i feel much better now, thanks. :) btw, thats quite a creative setup you have there for the cpu fan.

here is what i got done with all the forum downtime... credit to this guy because i basically imitated what he had done. more pics for those interested, are here.

i do basically everything on my linux machine. web, im, type papers, programming homework, music, dvds, etc. surprisingly, i even managed to get my tv card and accompanying remote working. so now after a few kernel recompiles and lots of swearing, i can even watch tv in linux. :D

fdisk -l

i'm not sure that you can convert ntfs back to fat32. besides, linux can read ntfs partitions fine. last i checked, write support was experimental though.

try mozilla. choose your flavor: regular or firefox. i think i heard someone also suggest the google toolbar once, but i have no personal experience with this.

i have already tried making ~/.gaim/plugins and putting it in there and copying the plugin to (in my case) /usr/local/lib/gaim. i should have mentioned that in my original post, my apologies. and the link works for me, so idk whats up with that.
