Er...at the risk of provoking Martin's ire further and being flamed
myself...if you are a placid Buddhist type,...the speech precepts are kind
of important ...you know, avoidance of harsh speech!!!!!!
It does raise a point though. I belive that we really should be talking
kindly to each other. The kind of world you are so fulsome against is that
of ego, and domination and authoritarian control, one of gaining some kind
of hegemonic control by disempowering people through undermining their
confidence and sense of self worth. This is largely done through
language. The spoken (and written) word is a powerful tool. You have to
be careful how you use it!

Er...at the risk of provoking Martin's ire further and being flamed
myself...if you are a placid Buddhist type,...the speech precepts are
kind of important ...you know, avoidance of harsh speech!!!!!!
<br>
<br>
It does raise a point though. I belive that we really should be
talking kindly to each other. The kind of world you are so fulsome
against is that of ego, and domination and authoritarian control, one of
gaining some kind of hegemonic control by disempowering people through
undermining their confidence and sense of self worth. This is
largely done through language. The spoken (and written) word is a
powerful tool. You have to be careful how you use it!<br>

I am looking into GIMP at the moment, and discovereing that its not a
'poor <br>
mans photoshop', but distinctly powerful...have only touched on animation
with <br>
it but will be looking at it sometime soon. have done animation in Flash
and <br>
Director so i expect that there ARE SIMILAR TECHNIQUES (OR PERHAPS NOT AS
THE <br>
CASE MAY BE) - TIMELINES, FRAMES ETC. aNyway that hasn't been a great
<br>
help...but as said, will be looking at it sometime soon...<br>

What on earth would *ever* give you the impression that anything<br>

stupid senseless with unjustified hype doesn't mean to say that
their<br>
products are therefore automatically the best (or even worth
buying).<br>
<br>
Let's get this straight, once and for all, shall we?<br>
Both windows and applemack products are an attempt to create a
'poor<br>
man's Un*x' for a single-user, home-toy environment; GNU/Linux on
the<br>
other hand IS a powerful and efficient industrial strength Un*x
clone.<br>
<br>

Surely that should be :-<br>
<br>
Windows and Apple products are for those with more<br>
money than sense, and are often feature-poor compared<br>
to Linux products?<br>
<br>
BTW Martin I'm going to rebuild my Pemtium I as a Suse<br>
Linux, BUT it has to be able to get on net...I'm going<br>
Cable. The cable company guy asked what machne I<br>
wished to use, and before I could answer said "not the<br>
apple", so I did not think asking him about Linux<br>
would be useful.<br>
<br>
So the likely setup will be my Win XP box connected to<br>
the internet via a cable modem through a network<br>
connection OR a USB. <br>
<br>
With a network conection it wil need to go into a hub,<br>
and therefore be available to all machines on the<br>
network. With a USB it will have to be 'shared' from<br>
the XP by the otehr machines [Apple, Win 2000 and<br>
Linux]. <br>
<br>
Any thoughts ideas or such, I'm worried that a network<br>
option will not work via a hub, and that the<br>
alternative will be a pig to set up!<br>

DO NOT USE A WINDOWS PRODUCT AS A FIREWALL. GIVEN MICROSOFT'S<br>
CURRENT RECORD ON MAJOR SECURITY PATCHES, YOU'D SOON WISH<br>
YOU HADN'T CONSIDERED THE IDEA [Just my 0.02 Euro :) ]<br>
<br>
If you're going to build a machine to connect you to cable/ADSL.<br>
<br>
Build a box with two network cards. Run SuSE / Smoothwall /
homebrew<br>
Linux. Set the box up as a firewall with iptables and
masquerading.<br>
[Potentially the cable modem may have some of this functionality:<br>
it may not.]<br>
<br>
Register one of the NICS with the cable company (if that's how
they<br>
authenticate you - one of my colleagues said "What MAC address
would<br>
you like the card to have" when asked :) ). <br>
<br>
The reason they say Windows is because they are used to a Windows setup
<br>
routine in their software. Most cable modems also have a web
interface.<br>
<br>
Set up the "outside world" card to pick up its address via
DHCP<br>
from the cable modem. Set up the "inside card" with an IP
from the<br>
private address ranges (10.0.0.0, 172.16.???.???, 192.168.1.0),
feed<br>
this into a network hub/switch and let your other machines plug into the
<br>
hub. [You might conceivably have to play around with a small <br>
button/switch on the hub itself to allow you to use straight cables
<br>
throughout and avoid a crossover] <br>
<br>
Set up the firewall with your ISP's nameservers in /etc/hosts
unless<br>
you want to be clever and run your own DNS server for "inside your
<br>
network".<br>
<br>
This is essentially the setup I have - a PPro 200 with 80M of
memory,<br>
a 500M disk and a minimalist firewall.<br>

I will have to check the exact syntax.. I know the Oracle version (ie.
<br>
select a.col, b.col, c.col, b.col2 from table1 a, table2 b....) but I
<br>
cannot be sure that is the MySQL syntax... more later ;-)<br>

Yup... you need a webserver... Apache is the best option, imho...<br>

As a hidden field? Yes, probably... you need to supply it as an argument
<br>
to the SQL query.. you can do it in many ways... but if that's what you
<br>
want the page to do then it has to be there somewhere... either <br>
hardcoded, as a hidden field or from a poplist.<br>
<br>

I've used the XP built in firewall with no trouble,<br>
but then I've also before that gone online with no<br>
firewall, don't see a differance.<br>

I have Suse virtuially NO experianc eof Linux and no<br>

No such switch on hub it's a simple cheap one. No<br>
switches at all, but could, concievably have some<br>
software configuration.<br>

Remember I have installed Linux twice but all I have<br>
ever done with it is set up a user, nothing more. My<br>
knowledge is ZERO!<br>
<br>
> This is essentially the setup I have - a PPro 200<br>

<br>
So with this setup, a Linux firewall with 2 network<br>
cards I can access the net from any PC/Linux/Mac or<br>
whatever box on my home network? [We have 4 machines,<br>
3 printers, lol].<br>
<br>
> <br>
> HTH,<br>
><br>
<br>
Well now I know what I should set up, and the cable<br>
guys return Thursday so I have 6 days and seven nights<br>
to get the thing setup. I presume they will bring<br>
software for a PC to drive the cable modem?<br>
<br>
What worried me was that if I register an IP address<br>
and then that card fails do I then have no way to get<br>
on net? If the new card can be given the same address<br>
I suppose that fixes it. All very strange for a fixed<br>
cable installation!<br>
<br>

Of course I do -- you really need to get used to my (very) heavy-handed<br>
sense of humour / verbal style. I'm actually a very placid Buddhist<br>
type physically -- I just have a wicked way with words, which I exercise<br>
outrageously, and without restraint. [As some may already have<br>
noticed in other fora.] It comes from a professional lifetime of<br>
winding up students to near nervous breakdown in tutorials -- testing<br>
to destruction their awareness of the implications of the words they're<br>
using. Read it, and totally ignore it if it hurts -- but if it makes<br>
you think, so much the better.<br>
There isn't really an ounce of malice in me -- just a great deal of<br>
verbal acuity, working overtime.<br>
(And I hope Duncan was aware of this. I'm not a very difficult person<br>
to suss.)<br>
<br>
<br>
> i see no reason why you should be rattled by his comments.<br>
<br>
<grin> I'm an absolute stickler for jumping on anything that could<br>
possibly be construed as a "thoughtless comment". [see above]<br>
It's now second nature.<br>
<br>
<br>
> what with martin? violence never solved anything.<br>
<br>
Who's proposing violence? My (extreme, at times) 'violence' of verbal<br>
style is intended to stimulate *thought* -- NOT physical reaction.<br>
I'm just too thoroughly lazy for anything like that.<br>
<br>

Well, I did make an offer to Christian, but I guess my writing style put<br>
him off!<br>
