12/20 My iPod<->PC rate is about 2megs/second. That is a lot less than the 400mbps/second for a typical firewire. Is there a reason why? \_ Possibly inefficient implementation of PCI. \_ you're writing to a disk \_ UpdateallyourdriversP |

12/20 If one is snarfing porn and one has used a secure erasing program to erase the incriminating files from one's own drive. How many other locations likely have records of the transaction and how long will those records persist? This was via kazaalite, a spyware-free p2p client. \- just out of curiousity, is this a shared work computer, hide from spouse or is it child p0rn or something like that? --psb \_ The server, in its log files, forever. Your browser cache, until you clear it. Your browser history file, for however long you have your browser set to retain files. \_ You forgot about the logs for all of the transparent proxies (most of them will have copies of the content in their caches as well). \_ The server as in the server from whence I downloaded the porn? A bummer about Windows Media Player is that I have know idea how to clear its buffer. Anyway, thanks. This is pretty much as I figured. I was worried about things like whether our router or our DSL modem keeps transaction logs. \_ link:www.techtv.com has a howto for being able to clear WMP's history. \_ It depends on the router. Some routers have the ability to replicate all packets coming in from a certain port or IP address and redirect it to a workstation with analysis software running. This is standard practice in the heavily loaded POPs. ISPs analyze traffic patterns to better plan out network buildouts. |

12/20 Perl question: # Doesn't work my @list = (1, 2, 3); my $name = "list"; print("@$name\n"); # Works @list2 = (4, 5, 6); $name2 = "list2"; print("@$name2\n"); \_ Short answer: replace the second line with my $name = \@list; Long answer: using a string like "list" to access the variable @list is called a symbolic reference. It works, but there are some restrictions -- for example, if the variable @list gets garbage-collected, your reference won't work anymore; also, as you noticed, it only works with global variables. If you use \@list instead of "list", then you get a real (non- symbolic) reference, which you can use exactly the same way but doesn't have the problems above. See "man perlref" for details. --mconst \_ thx for the explanation. I'm not sure my $name =\@list is what I want, because I may want to pass "$name" as a command line argument to choose between different lists. Actually, someone may want to do that, not me. I was just helping. |
