10/25 Does anyone know how to get rid of that idiotic Yahoo bar thing
that gets into IE? It was installed on this f$#@ing laptop by
another user and I can't get rid of it. Unintalling "Yahoo" and
deleting the "Yahoo" directory did nothing...Is it some kind of
registry trickery? Help me out here...
\_ Go to ${WINDOWS}\Downloaded Program Files. Right-click, remove.
\_ Removed "Yahoo! Chat," some other "Yahoo!" thing, and an
unknown thing identified only by a long string of alphanumeric
digits. After all that... the fuxoring thing is still there!
ARGH! Can I report this as a virus?
\_ Click on the pencil, click Uninstall, Click Yes.
\_ you rule. |

10/26 VERITAS is here now, 4 pm - 7 pm, at International House talking
up our company (I work for them). Munchies, trinkets, pizza.
Information about the company, and real live engineers. VERITAS
builds "storage management software" for UNIX, NT, and Linux. If
you're intersted in SANs, NAS, clustering, Tbytes of data or
millions of files, you should talk to us. We're well on the way
to being the de facto disk format on commercial UNIX systems ...
--charmer
\_ lila is that you?
\_ Stock dropped 30 points in 3 days. Normally, it wouldn't matter
because the company does "interesting" things that should interest
Cal engineers. But those Cal grads no longer exist, or at least
their numbers are diminishing rapidly. Now it's all about stock. |

10/25 Dice, lice alt.sex.* is over-run with nothing but ads.
i.e. all the "job" postings are really just recruiters.
Where to go these days to look at real tech. jobs?
(or at least a place that allows you to filter out
recruiters/given posters)
\_ http://craigslist.org...and of the "big" resume posting boards,
only http://hotjobs.com prohibits "3rd party recruiters" or "agencies"
to post jobs or search resumes. --chris (who is a recruiter)
\_ don't forget http://guru.com, the site that will hopefully
reduce the number of hapless recruiters. I've used
both craig's list and http://guru.com and have gotten
plenty of mileage out of both.
\_ /csua/pub/jobs/webMethods
\_ Recruiters aren't that bad if you handle them like sharks...
I've gotten some pretty cool jobs recently 'cause I've violated
my "no recruiters" rule. Give it a shot, just don't waste too
much of your time or expect them to lay their cards on the table. |

1/26 If you click the "save password" feature of Win98/NT, how do
you get rid of any trace of it when you decide to remove that
option?
\_ fdisk
\_ fdisk won't be enough, you moron. It's trivial to restore
a partition table -- the info is still there. You need to do
dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/ntpartition
\_ D00d you're using Win98. How 'bout some nice NT?

\_ Keep in mind that erasing the file does not erase the data. On most
hard disks, complete eradication of original data requires 5-10
writes to that same spot.
\_ wipe hard drive with large magnet
\_ It depends on what program is doing the remembering, but you
will have a <username>.pwl file in the \WINDOWS (\WINNT)
directory --sowings
\_ Keep in mind that erasing the wet spot does not erase the data.
On most dresses, complete eradication of original data requires
5-10 wipes to that same spot.
\_ Install it as mail spool disk for my ISP. They will make sure the
disk is busted and none of the data recoverable. They will also
make sure they do not make any backup tapes of the disk.
\_ gooooooOOOOOO EPOCH!
\_ To be on the safe side, overwrite the disk with random data
five times. |

10/25 I'm trying to write a basic socket based server in Java. What is
the preferred Java method to broadcast over a given subnet? (if it
exists).
\_ multicast is the only "socket" way that I can think of. It
seems like looking at the bootp source code (axed below) is also
a good idea. If it's ethernet, send a broadcast ethernet packet
(which is what bootp/dhcp do).
If multicast is available, use http://java.net.MulticastSocket
Also, java fakes broadcast if you send the datagram to
255.255.255.255.
\_ How does java fake broadcasts?
\_ I don't know, I read it at http://java.sun.com |

10/25 I'm looking at some source code (bootp.c) and I see reference to
MACPY (...). I can't find the define anywhere in /usr/include/*
Anyone know what this does, where a definition exists?
\_ use grep -R
\_ man MACPY
\_ No manual entry for MACPY
\_ gcc -E
\_ (exuberant-)ctags -R --Galen |

10/25 Simple question.. In C under unix, how do I invoke the unix command
date to create a char string which contains the present date?
\_ actually, you should fork a process that runs date
but has date's stdout handle to point to a handle in the
parent proc. yeah, you really want time(), ctime()
\_ could I get an example .. something like :
current_date = ctime(); ??
\_ Here you go:
char * my_date;
time_t my_time;
time(&my_time);
my_date = ctime(&my_time);
See the manpages for time(3) and ctime(3).
\_ try both. find the source for date(1) and examine it. --jon
\_ system("date"), but you really want time(), ctime()

10/26 On a redhat 6.2 box i can't even ping 127.0.0.1 even though ifconfig
shows that both my interfaces are up and assigned i.p addresses.
What could be wrong?
\_ Muhahahahaha!
\_ D00d you're using redhat. How 'bout some nice BSD?
\_ Where is a 3133T GN00/L1NUX H@X0R5 when you need one?
\_ their network stack is so fucked, they can't login to another
to respond to your pathetic cries for help.
\_ Please don't erase this, dammit. RH6.2 doesn't install inetd by
default. You need to install that rpm to offer any services.-mogul
\_ while this is true, it's not the problem; "ping" is not
a service offered out of inetd. If you can't ping
127.0.0.1, your configuration is wrong, either no lo0 or
routing fucked. -tom
\_ ipf can be used to reject ICMP on all interfaces.
Oh, I forgot that this was 3133T GN00/L1NUX.
\_ I have brought down all interfaces brought back up lo
routing is correct, and i've killed basically every
process. I'm afraid this is a problem with the kernel.
time to reinstall (i feel like i'm using microsoft).
\_ the only possible kernel problem, unless you've
screwed around with it yourself, is lack of support
for your ethernet card. -tom
\_ D00D U R ! 3133T 1F U N33D TH3 R00T P@55WD F0R H15 GN00/L1NUX B0X.
\_ What error does ping give you? Tried ping -n? Post ifconfig
and route output. Or, even better, post the IP and root password
on motd -- I'll fix it. |
