Decidedly odd.
My question is: What does Major Houlihan have to do with this?

The dissertation was on object recognition - identifying various non-dairy dessert toppings. Seriously? The thing with email is that it is sent to you via the domains MX address. e.g., if you get hold of my email address (from my site), and use this tool (Note: not the tool), and look up my address, the address given is mx1.turbodns.co.uk whilst the smtp server I point to is something along the lines of smtp.drs-servers.com. So There are transfer points at which people could listen in on emails. I'm not saying this happens, but it could. Yeah, MX records are the fun. But they're not used for outgoing mail, they're only used for delivery. But if think we're saying the same thing just in different ways. You'd have to have be listening at either the sending end, or the receiving end in order to grab the message. Under XP you can just do nslookup -type=mx <domain>

I'm not quite sure what I meant to be honest! I was in the middle of my dissertation last week, and my many forums were a welcome distraction, but I mostly posted crap when it actually required thought (no difference to usual to be honest  )
I think I meant a server along the emails' route that could be set to log all emails transferred. That's not how SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) works though. (Sorry if you know all this babble already) http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-types.html has decent explaination. What it boils down to is that email is a point to point application. There aren't any email servers in between you and whoever you're sending to. Usually. YMMV and all that. BTW: what was the dissertation on?

It just takes one dodgy SMTP router on the way to catch the mail for some unscrupulous person to have complete access to the system! Uhm what? SMTP router? Do you mean SMTP server (in which case there are only two servers at either end point (sometimes just one if the MTA is smart enough)). Or do you mean router, in which case there could be as many as 30 in between points? With the exception of the end point routers and the first upstream hop are generally going to be backbone routers passing so much traffic it would be unlikley the someone could mirror all the traffic and parse it efficiently enough to snag passwords. Granted, someone might have specifically targetted said company but that's a whole different story. In any case, a VPN with no other encryption gives very little if any security benefit over an encrypted connection. I might go so far as to say that if there was an attacking snooper on the circuit using the VPN might make it easier for them to identify interesting packets.

Applications, if stuck to a standard of code (not relying on a particular OS function), can be easily ported to platforms where a compiler exists. QT is an example of cross platform development where your applications can be brought to Linux, Windows, Mac, etc. In theory XP is POSIX compliant which means you should be able to take any POSIX code, compile it and run it on any other POSIX OS. The problem occurs with the GUI's API which is definately not standard. Being that MS (and most games) uses DirectX to draw things to the screen. Which gets into licensing issues etc etc... See http://www.transgaming.com/ http://www.linuxgames.com/ and http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/ for more info about running games in Linux.

KDE>GNOME>=EXPLORER
Thats the law of the universe. And don't you forget it.Biyatches.
That makes little to no sense, but thanks for the attempt.
KDE is greater than GNOME which is greater than or equal to EXPLORER. Better?

If ErrorFM is invading, does that mean I'll get a chance to ban BurntKid? That guy has to be the worst fucking DJ I've ever had the mispleasure of listening to. I stopped going there because of him.
FOO, if you are BurntKid, FUCK YOU LOTS.
Otherwise, welcome to teh Geekery. Nope, I'm not him. I'm my own worst DJ, thank you very much.  But Burntkid tends to fill in blank spots on the schedule with "classic" rock since that seems to attract the most listeners from Shoutcast. There is a DJ schedule posted on the site if you want to try and find when a DJ will actually be on live and playing real music. I'm currently filling in cause Burntkid fell offline for some reason. P.S.-- if you don't like the music, apply to be a DJ and force us to listen to stuff you like.

For it is her fault that I am here. And I suppose you should'st heap some blame upon Heavy Jay for seducing [sp0rk] into being here in the first place. Jay makes the tripple breasted whore of Eroticon 6 look good. Now if he'd just come back and DJ, it'd all be good.
