7/6     Hello I am a White Guy and I like this Guy.
        \_ If you both ride bike and run linux, NO PROBLEM!

7/6    What happened to http://www.pricewatchers.com
        \_did you mean to try 'http://www.pricewatch.com for computer part prices?
           \_ i did. thanks

7/6     Is a PII much better than a k6-2 ?  (for running a server)
        \_ "It doesn't matter."
        \_ K6-2 300 had a recall because it didn't work with BSD/Linux.
           Other than that "minor" detail, they will both work just fine...

7/7     When doing IP masquerading, how does a remote computer know which
        computer to send the data to? It always sends the data to the proxy,
        right? How does the proxy know which computer the data should go to?
        Does it use local port numbers? Does that mean that the remote host
        puts these local port numbers on all requests/responses?
        How do incoming connections work?
        \_ If you have to ask, you don't know. (Look up NAT.)
        \_ If you have to ask, you don't know.

7/7     stupid web question deleted by original poster.

7/7     LDAP question. It seems oriented mostly for reads and single adds.
        Does that make it a poor decision to do things like act as a
        service discovery server for something like Ninja/Jini?
        What's "normally" used? Small database or standard data structure
        in memory?
        \_ I'm not sure I understand the question, but since LDAP is just a
           format it seems like you could implement your own directory with
           LDAP and have it support the discovery/lookup multicast protocol...
           the actual registering of names in that case would be done in LDAP.
           But since Jini groups must be implemented by using serialized
           objects it would be a waste of LDAP's functionality.  Sun's
           implementation of the naming directory, "reggie," is based on
           rmid, which is running on JRMP or IIOP and uses a propreitary
           naming protocol.... if you're implementing all your stubs yourself,
           go for it.  reggie puts things in memory in a data structure...
        \_ I don't see what it has to do with singles ads.
           \_ i am a ninja! bow down to the almighty bunghole! does that
              answer your question?
        \_ SLP
        \_ implement an LDAP server using Oracle
        \_ Can you implement an LDAP server using ED?
           \_ Real men use echo. ED is for whimps.
           \_ Real men use echo. ED is for wimps.
              Show-offs use a magnet to twidle the bits
              on the drive.
              \_ Real Men do not twidle their bits, and not on their hardware.
        \_ Apologies. My question was really about whether or not LDAP is
           poorly suited for an environment (specifically service discovery)
           in which many changes need to be made to te dataset.
                        \_ Yes. Jini will probably make use of Javaspaces which
                                uses serialization and rmi-style registries

7/7     Anyone know how to get scan to display the year in the date
        field?
        \_ After you're married, are you allowed to scan for dates at your
           buddy's bachelor party?
                \_ Only in Perl.
        \_ Yes.  This is mh?  There's a bunch of config files for this stuff.
           Read the man pages and check out the system files.
