... so... you want the bot to be able to tell you to sleep, and just incase you actually have fallen asleep at the keyboard, you want your account to automatically reject the notion of being told to go to sleep?
@Bob is it true that the sleep function in C causes the current thread of execution to yield control to the operating system for a specified length of time?
@Bob is it true that there exists at least one human being (homo sapiens sapiens), that has ever existed, that has gone to sleep for at least 1 picosecond during their life?

"Go to Sleep" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as the second single from their sixth album Hail to the Thief in 2003. The alternate title for the song as listed on the track listing for the album is Little Man Being Erased. A number twelve hit in the UK, it also reached number thirty-nine on the Australian ARIA Charts.
Musical structure
"Go to Sleep" starts in 10/4 (4/4 + 6/4) with an acoustic guitar riff written by Ed O'Brien but played by Thom Yorke. After 11 bars of guitar and vocals, the rest of the band comes in. In the second half of the song the time sig...
@Bob I send from Yahoo. But in the other side, the email server deny the email with the message : 552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size. And I have an attachement with email header.
@Calin you might be able to do an end run around it, by going to the domain the email is hosted at, and seeing if they detail what attachment sizes are limited to
@BonGart are you going to write a novel about someone writing a novel for a National Novel Writing Month contest about strategies for making Bob sleep?
@BonGart no, i haven't and no, i didn't follow that guide, it seemed too complicated, and my first mistake was that i was setting ICS for the wrong Ethernet card, i was should have set ICS for the Ethernet card that has Internet access, which is my wireless WLAN
@BonGart however, i did try that later on, but i think i somehow managed to screw up that service or something, because when i try to enable ICS for the WLAN i get a strange error message and i can't get past that now
@BonGart i don't remember what the error message. but i think it was something critical, there was the nice little yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it! :) the message was only a few words long, but i can't remember what it said... i just clicked away... i attempted three times and then gave up
Does anyone here use a Galaxy S4 and have the WiFi issues that can be read about everywhere? I have read that the issue is with AES encryption and to use TKIP. I have tried this and it hasn't solved my problem. Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas
if you search for it, it seems that most of the problems are with people who have D-Link Wireless Routers, I do not have that, I have a CISCO WAP4410... so it makes me think there is a specific setting I'm not trying
@Kwaio @DarthAndroid FWIW, i have found a way to disconnect from UNC using GUI in Vista, the same "Disconnect Network Drives" dialog box is available in Vista as in XP, but it is very well hidden... not very intuitive IMHO
@DarthAndroid meanwhile... i've found another way to close a network session on Windows... just run "fsmgmt.msc" and you can close sessions from there, and also see available shares (on the local machine)
yeah, a lot of these "msc" snap-in applets come in handy, i actually keep a list of those i find useful, but i didn't know about this one... it's available in XP as well, so that's a plus
The elastic they are using is nylon covered, which can assist when the rubber turns back into nature and breaks. but that means it could have sliding potential. Verses a gripping rubber.

@DragonLord that did not take long, how was the soft installing going. (gotta toss the words paid hosts in there everyonce in a while, so people like me know what your referring to)
@DragonLord The puter that your on is shared right? so any one of them could have "caused" it ?
@Psycogeek I suspect the underlying hypervisor malfunctioned.
@Psycogeek I started from an openSUSE 12.1 image and ran a distribution upgrade to 12.3. The system's running well and I have a functioning LAMP stack, although I'm currently just using it for a web development class. I won't be putting my personal website on it just yet.
I've had the opposite experience: with Hetzner I've never had a single hardware fault or network fault in over 8 years of service, despite upgrading 3 or 4 times to a new box
opposite as in, I'm running dedicated instead of VPS, and I haven't had any outages, while you are running a VPS and had an outage after a very short time of renting one
I have had, however, software faults, all of them due to my own incompetence... and I guess you can still screw yourself over with a VPS :P
Linode doesn't oversell though so as far as VPS is concerned they're one of the better ones
@DragonLord Hetzner provides a remote KVM-over-IP, but if you don't want to pay, it's time limited (if there is a queue of people waiting to use them, you're limited to 2 hours, but if there aren't people waiting to use them, you can potentially keep it for up to a week as long as you continue to express your need for it)
pretty reasonable policy overall
they also have a rescue image and the usage on that is unlimited
usually when I can't access my box, step 1 is to order an automatic hardware reset (free and instantaneous reboot of the physical box using the power switch), then tell it to PXE boot to the rescue environment and try to figure it out... if I'm totally stumped, I'll order a KVM-over-IP (the free, time-limited one) and watch it boot from the console and see what error I get, then try to resolve it and bring up SSH and networking
fortunately they keep the rescue environment updated so it can mount your boot and/or root filesystem for your examination
@somequixotic: The out-of-band shell provided does go straight to the server's main console. It's not restricted the way your provider does, though. The shell also allows booting up and shutting down the machine.
I suppose you have similar functionality from your KVM-over-IP.
@DragonLord yep, and you can even load an arbitrary operating system ISO or mount a remote filesystem from a local disk drive to install just about any OS
the thing of it is, with physical servers, if you want KVM-over-IP, you end up paying for it one way or another, because they have to have a separate, physical device networked to the internet and connected to the computer, which uses up rack space and a public IP address
no physical server host lets you have a truly free KVM-over-IP, although some have it included in the price (that just means your monthly price is higher)
with a VPS it's easier to have an unlimited usage remote console at no added cost because the hypervisor already has access to the console of the virtual environment without needing to connect up any hardware or IPs
but I have yet to find a virtualized server environment of any type (VPS, container, cloud hosting, whatever) that's cheaper per-resource (RAM, HDD, CPU, bandwidth, etc) than a dedicated box
VPS always ends up costing more if you want more than, say, 256 MB RAM, and on the high end a VPS is downright stupid compared to even an expensive dedicated server
Amazon EC2, Windows Azure, Linode, etc. are all hugely expensive for >= 4 GB RAM or >= 500 GB HDD compared to just renting a dedicated server
and I don't mean budget dedicated, either
hell, Softlayer is cheaper than Linode at 8 GB RAM
and Softlayer is the most expensive provider there is, as far as I can tell
Where Linode is more generous is in the amount of processing power and bandwidth provided. On the 8 GB plan, the outgoing bandwidth quota is 16 TB per month. All plans offer 8 processor cores; more expensive plans simply share the cores with fewer users (or get more CPU time relative to others), offering greater, more predictable processing power when under heavy load.
Each host has two Intel Xeon E5-2670 Sandy Bridge-EP processors, offering a total of 16 cores plus hyper-threading. An average of 40 Linode 1GB VMs share a physical host.
Note that each physical server only hosts Linodes of the same plan type.
The Xeon E5-2670 runs at 2.6 GHz, so in the worst case, you would only get the equivalent of 1.04 GHz aggregate speed (130 MHz per core). It's incredibly rare for everyone to be using all of the CPU time available, though. Even this worst-case performance is reasonable for what you're paying ($20 per month) given the generous bandwidth and disk space limits.
@DragonLord Hetzner's most basic, cheapest dedicated server comes with 20 TB per month and a quad core CPU with hyperthreading
to me it seems awfully optimistic to think that nobody'll be using any CPU on your server and that you'll be able to use a lot of it, unless you get the top tier (x8 or x16 priority) plans... realistically, there are a lot of VPSes out there running CPU-intensive workloads like opensimulator, minecraft, bitcoin, game servers, etc.
at the low end level you'd only get 1/16th of 8 cores, or about 1 dedicated core worth of power (though in practice spread across all the cores at low priority) if the CPU is saturated, with occasional bursts higher if your neighbors aren't pegging their allotment
compare that to getting a dedicated (no neighbors, no latency hit from potential saturation) i7-4770 for about $53 USD per month, with 32 GB of RAM
so for a price point in between the Linode 2GB and the Linode 4GB (leaning toward the price of the 2GB moreso than the 4GB), you can get roughly half the compute performance of a Linode 16GB node, with over four times as much disk space, the same amount of monthly transfer, and twice the RAM, with a cost that's six times cheaper than a Linode 16GB.
that's value.
or for about 2.6 times cheaper than the Linode 16 GB, you can get a dedicated from Hetzner with a 6-core CPU with hyperthreading (so, 12 hardware threads), 30 TB of bandwidth, four times the RAM of the Linode 16GB, and over six times the storage.
finally, for around the same price as the Linode 16GB node, you can get dedicated Dual Xeon E5-2620 (just marginally slower than Dual Xeon E5-2670 like Linode) with eight times the RAM, two and a half times the bandwidth, a hardware RAID controller, 24/7 included KVM-over-IP, ... although you have to pay extra for your HDD(s). XD
@DragonLord yeah so basically the only Linode nodes that make sense to me to even attempt to sell are the the 1GB and 2GB nodes.
anyone who buys more than the 2GB node is just throwing money down the drain.
Hetzner also sells VPSes, and their cheapest one is about $2/month more than Linode's 1GB, but you get twice the RAM... however I believe the general consensus is that Hetzner's VPSes tend to have saturated CPUs, so you really don't get more than the minimum allocated CPU almost ever, so that's a tradeoff
From what I can tell with CPU graphs and benchmarks, it seems Linode's CPUs are not overly saturated. I was able to get about 3/8 of the full performance of the CPU.
@Sammy nono... at one point you had right clicked on one of the LAN adapters on the Vista box, and enabled ICS... you realized that mistake. Did you disable it before you enabled it on the WLAN? Yeah... what @Psychogeek said
@Sammy and just to let you know, after I sent you that link from Microsoft about how to change the IP address used by ICS, I went diving into my own registry (and one on an XP laptop here) just to see what was involved... and it looks worse than it seems. Not pushing, just letting you know it's not that bad if you decide to go that route.
@Sammy and the wlan is the "internet" right (if i remember right) that set up that connection point to be "shared" with other computers that are on the "home" lan. I have to mentally seperate the one inteconnection system (inranet) with the other, stuff that goes outside my realm (internet). then ICS sets up a (non-bridge NAT) style of bridge to the other.
@Psycogeek Essentially yes. It creates a second gateway out of the designated LAN adapter, assigns it the gateway address at the bottom of the IP range defined in the registry, and then routes all internet requests connected to it to the WLAN
@Sammy Nope. In fact, sharing a WLAN connection via ICS is the most common.
@Sammy scroll further down in that Microsoft article. The section just below states what you would do for a Windows 7 machine, which should apply to Vista as well.
which means "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\SharedAccess\Parameters " that's what you should have
@Sammy you know that your WLAN gets an IP address on 192.168.0.xxx, so if the default parameter in the Shared Access registry key is also a 192.168.0.1, you'd need to change that to 192.168.1.1.... or even 192.168.130.1
Hi, I've got some problems with a home-operated server that I inherited from a professional context, namely with the disk controller. Should I ask here or would I have better luck on ServerFault?
