  1. Next door has a towel on the other line.. needless to say, it's as stiff as a board at the moment
  2. Not so good in the dark, but here is the view outside my flat: http://hogwarts.powdarrmonkey.net/
  3. Yes. Filtering policy at such a fine level should be a local decision for the LEAs and schools to make. A statement from the DCSF would be inappropriate if there is a police investigation (or at least, it would contain nothing useful or interesting while it is ongoing, so no politician is going to risk opening debate before they have something to say).
  4. I thought it would allow additional domain controllers as long as it held the master roles and was the domain and forest roots and so on? Anyway, I agree with you it's not really suitable for anything other than a small business (hence the name).
  5. Let me google that for you
  6. Since the site and materials are no longer available, it is not correct to continue using them unless the copyright owners (last time I looked, Sparklebox Teaching Resources Ltd) have clearly placed them in the public domain or you have a license for them which is still in force.
  7. I regretted dropping out of my degree course - not so much dropping that course as not doing a degree at all. It's much harder to pick up again later. I would persist, but that's a very personal decision that you need to make yourself. You might do a sandwich course with a year in industry perhaps?
  8. Five licenses is only the base pack, you can add more licenses similar to the normal editions.
  9. Try UNIX / Linux Bourne / Bash Shell Scripting Tutorial [ steve-parker.org ], bearing in mind https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh and the common bashisms listed there (especially important for you, as a Ubuntu user). No. If you don't call the script as an argument to a shell (e.g. "bash ./myscript.sh") you must have the execute bit set and the shell used comes from the first line of the script. Otherwise the shell you run is used. However, it is good practice to use an extension to hint about what type of file it is. (Of course there are exceptions: Debian policy requires files in /usr/bin and friends to be extension-less.)
  10. Oops, sorry. Replace '||' (the 'or' operator) with '&&' (the 'and' operator). /me has been using Windows all day, where 0 is false.
  11. Because '[' is literal, where '[[' is the test operator (it is a symbolic for /usr/bin/test). Here is something similar but a bit neater, using pure operators: #!/bin/sh TITLE='Restart Conky' TEXT='Are you sure you want to restart Conky?' `zenity --question --title="$TITLE" --text "$TEXT"` || (killall conky; sleep 5; conky) Without the bashisms, it will now run under /bin/sh and /bin/dash (and probably other bourne-type shells).
  12. The 0.0.0.0/0 address is shorthand for 'everywhere', i.e. it matches everything.
  13. You're a manager, not a spy. You don't need technological solutions, you need to be able to trust your employee. Start by talking about it edit: and thanks for shouting in the thread title.
  14. If you still have material that hasn't been changed since it was published in 2009, your copyright line should be "Copyright 2009 - 2010".
  15. Hmm, just to stick my oar in I would be building i5 systems now, since they're getting closer in price and you can drop an i7 hyperthreading processor in at a later date (and they'll generally take DDR3 too, which is also worth planning for). That said, the G31 is a good chipset if that's the way you're going to go. That motherboard will fit a micro-ATX case, yes.
  16. The only way to ensure total isolation is to unplug it
  17. Why in the world was the inmates network connected to the administration network even physically? duh!
  18. I would also have said IDLE.
  19. Because the administrator at the target network has changed something. I'm not psychic, so you'll have to ask them (snail mail?)
  20. Python is a reasonable place to start, although some of its terminology is a bit weird - serialisation is called 'pickling' for example. It's a good general purpose language though.
  21. The clue is in the error (my emphasis): The report is generated by the Exchange server because it is the last server in the chain before the message is rejected. 553 is a hard error, so the message is returned.
  22. Close. Assuming you are in your home directory, I suggest: rsync -avz 192.168.0.3:~/ . This enables archive mode (preserve file states) and gzip compression (faster), and copies the contents of your home directory on 192.168.0.3 to the current directory, which you should ensure is your home directory on your laptop. It assumes your remote username is the same as your local; if not, use user@host notation to specify it, like you did in your post. '~' is short-hand for your home directory and '.' is short-hand for the current directory (like '..', which is the directory one level above current). You probably don't need to specify '-e ssh' because modern rsyncs will try to use ssh by default. The man page is your friend, but it's quite long. Ubuntu One is a nice service, but it seems silly to upload everything there and then download it a machine a few yards away again. You might as well do it locally
  23. And as long as you aren't using them to give a misleading impression of the service you are selling, of course. Or Anne Robinson will shout and glare at you.
