8/6 Apache Guru question: will a mod rewrite take precedence over a
<Location> setting? I have a <Location=/mylocation/> but I would
like to override that for <Location=/mylocation/images/> to just
serve images and not be parsed like /mylocation/. I tried to create
a prior <Location=/mylocation/images/> but it didn't take.
\_ Try it and you'll find out. Report back how it went. Thanks! |

8/7 I have a FreeBSD box serving Samba, NFS, DHCP and DNS (as a
forwarder behind a firewall and for a few "internal" boxes.) It's
creaky and old, and about to go, and it gets too hot. Can someone
give me a tip as to whether there are smaller devices that can do
all this (like some sort of low-cost NAS with all the above
functionality) so I don't have to have a PC running in a poorly-
ventilated room anymore? -John
\_ Some options that come to mind:
1) If you don't mind running debian, get an old cobalt raq3/4,
wipe the drive and install debain. These boxes can be had
for $100-$200 on ebay. They can take two 120 gb hd's and
can be passively cooled (K6-2's don't put out much heat).
My intern has his sitting under his bed and has been using
it as a file server for more than a year. If you really
want to stick to BSD, older cobalt boxes can be coaxed
into running NetBSD.
2) Replace the motherboard with a via c3 based mb. You can
usually replace the tiny cpu fan with a chipset heat sink
and run the board with passive cooling.
3) Get a mini-pc with a celeron or an underclocked Athlon
mobile. Shuttle makes some reasonable quiet ones with
good ventilation.
\_ I took an old 1U server box, loud as hell, built it out with the
loudest, fastest shit I could find, dropped it in a closet and
forgot about it. The closet isn't hot, the server isnt hot, the
room isn't loud. The case it off, btw because I needed to use a
card that wouldn't fit sideways. No problem. |

8/7 Anyone know this guy?
http://csua.org/u/8i4
\_ Hopefully no one will know this loser.
\_Loser or not, I think it's rather instructive on how
terrorism works. Terrorism would've never worked before
there was a popular press and technology has made
terrorism that much more effective as a propoganda tool.
Now anybody with a webcam can become a jihadist.
\_ it worked in spain quite recently.
\_ terrorism never worked? Terrorism has been around
for centries. check out the word "assassin" and find out
where is that word from.
\_ Using terror as a weapon works quite well. Genghis Khan and
his ilk noticed this a long time ago. Back in the old days
a lot of battle armor designs were meant to intimidate the
opponents. The Picts fought naked as an intimidation
measure, the Mongols made piles of human heads, etc. etc.
Modern 'terrorism' is a nasty and irrationally collectivist
version of the old warriorship idea that attacking the mind
is more effective than attacking the body. ('Irrationally
collectivist' because modern terrorists attack societies as
a whole, and that is counterproductive in settings other than
total war). -- ilyas
\_ it worked in spain quite recently.
\- well ignorning the first law of internet warfare,
"never get into an argument with someone in grad
school; they have more free time than you" ...
i dont see the relevance of most of your historical
examples. terrorism isnt just using psychological
intimidation techniques. i'd suggest it is a
combination of attacking civilian morale and
avoiding direct military confrontation. when the
roman army in 146 bc "salted the earth" at carthage
and sold off much of the population of corinth into
slavery, these flowed from direct military conflicts.
when a group avoid *direct* military conflict but
engages in indirect fighting, that is better
described as guerilla warfare than terrorism.
spain bombing: terrorism, clearly. i dont think
it's productive to call the viking raiders or
g. khan terrorists. they were more looters
and thugs. if an IRA "terrorist" assassinated a
british military person, that is probably guerilla
warfare. if he put a bomb in the london underground,
that is terrorism. if he shoots a bar owner in
belfast for serving british troops, that's murder.
--psb
\_ My thesis is 'terrorism is an old phenomenon.' It
still holds if we take your definition. It's as
old as fighting empires, where direct military
confrontation is infeasible. -- ilyas
confrontation is infeasible. Also, I think there
is a definite connection between 'terrorism' and
'looters and thugs.' Also, I am having a hard time
'looters and thugs.' Also, I am having a hard time
seeing the line you see between guerilla warfare
and terrorism, especially if the former targets
civilians (and it often does). Is terrorism just
'guerilla warfare with bombs?' -- ilyas
\- no, it has to do with target selection.
shoot/snipe and run [vietcong, american
revolutionaries etc] is guerella tactics
when aiming at military-related targets.
random/civilian targetting for a political
goal is closer to terrorism. i suppose there
has to be some element or organization and
some threashold goal ... i wouldnt call the
unabomber or the washington sniper pair
terrorists. maybe the weather underground,
but they were pretty stupid and incompetent.
\_ The Czars and their cossacks were very capable terrorists.
\_ As an aside, I heard a great story about one of Genghis Khan's
battle tactics. His army surrounded a city and said that if
the citizens delivered 10,000 cats to the army along with some
gold and other treasure, they would move on and not attack. The
citizens complied. Genghis Khan then had his army tie rags to
the tails of the cats, light them on fire and release the cats.
The cats fled back to their homes in the city and the entire
city started to burn. In the ensuing chaos, Khan's army easily
conquered the city.
\- there are lots of stories like this. see e.g.
~psb/MOTD/SultanTughlak. However if you think this
or the tzarist repression is terrorism, you misuse/
misunderstand the word. tyranny != terrorism. --psb
\_ KAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!
\_ Now that's psych-warfare. |

8/7 News flash: Nader has failed to get enough signatures to be on CA
ballot. Nader claims that his signature collectors were verbally
abused and so they quit. And people complain that Bush is the one
preventing opposing voices?
http://csua.org/u/8i8
\_ Damn! You know what else? I'm not going to make it on the
california ballot for president either. And since I have not been
endorsed by *any* political party, including my own, have no
relevant experience, and tend to piss people off, I have a lot
in common with Nader. Unqualified assholes with no base of support
unite!!! Of course, there is *one* difference...I'm not claiming
to be running a presidential campaign.
\_ No free speech for fascists!
\_ If you still vote for Bush after seeing F911 you are a raging
asshole.
\_ If you believe anything in F911 you are a mindless tool.
\_ But, I read that on the csua wall so it must be true!
I think you're one of those raging assholes who is going
to vote for Bush after seeing F911!
\_ Nope, I'm going to vote for Bush and I haven't seen
F911. Heh.
\_ Ignorant AND close-minded! You must be proud.
\_ Unwilling to give money to Michael Moore actually.
I've read enough reviews/criticisms/apologetics to
know what the factual errors are, TYVM.
\_ right back at ya babe
\_ "Who are you going to believe, me or your LYING EYES?"
\_ Wow, you mean I can't criticize Bush for misusing his office
unless powerless yahoos in CA are nice to Nader employees?
Thanks for setting me straight. --aaron
\_ WTF are you talking about? Are you ok?
\_ I've gone nuts! --aaron |

\_ feeble? as far as i can tell, the first one is broken, the
second one is bogus, and the third i just a link to an ad
for a book. What the fuck? Yeah, people tend to delete
unexplained dead links. It's not censoship.
\_ No free speech for facists!
\_ The links were to a google cache of the promo for the
Kerry/Edwards book which mentioned an introduction by the
Globe columnist who claimed one of the swift boat veterans had
retracted his story. The non-google-cached version doesn't
say the introduction is by the reporter.
\_ the links were broken, badly explained, and directly
off of this weeks Republican Talking Points list.
Personally, I don't censor any links, and hate any
censorship of any political link ever. However
when a link is broken, it's just useless. I got tired
of seeing your idiocy on the motd, so i just went to
drudgereport and got the link to put in http://csua.org/u
