Ganá $7,20 por hora por ver publicidades en Internet - Planetabanner.com

Conozco gente que utiliza este sistema en otros países y me dijeron que es real y rentable, y además es completamente en español. Tómense un rato y lean esto, porque es verdad. ¿De que se trata? ¡Los anunciantes te pagan por que veas sus publicidades! Este sistema a ellos les conviene porque llegan a nosotros en forma directa y podemos ingresar si queremos automáticamente a sus ofertas y a sus páginas web. ¡Esto es lo que todos estábamos esperando! Anotémonos ya y después a buscar mas gente. Obviamente el sistema funciona totalmente gratis. Para suscribirte cliqueá en : http://www.planetabanner.com/asp/Suscripcion.asp?Padre=2009 o ingresá a la pagina de Planetabanner (http://www.planetabanner.com/) y a la hora de anotarte ingresá mi código. Mi código personal es: 2009 Planetabanner te da estos beneficios: No invertís nada. Es totalmente gratis. Te paga $ 7,20 la hora. No hay límites en cuanto a lo que podés ganar. Así funciona... Prestá atención que es muy interesante. Te aviso, este mail es un poco largo porque necesito que entiendas de que se trata. Una vez que lo hayas leído te vas a dar cuenta de lo simple que es todo esto. Todos vimos como Internet fue cambiando en los últimos años. Bueno, un grupo de PhD. en Ciencias de la Computación de la universidad de Stanford (USA) cambiaron la forma de hacer publicidad en la web con muchos sitios en Estados Unidos. Y en Argentina, Planetabanner es el primero en ofrecer este servicio que ya está al alcance de todos. A través de los años los anunciantes han pagado a cualquiera que pudiese aumentar la llegada de sus anuncios. Cadenas de TV, radios, revistas y diarios, todo servía. Los consumidores, la gente a la que los anunciantes quieren llegar, nunca recibieron un centavo de toda esta operación. Estas personas están cambiando las cosas. Lo que están haciendo es algo así como una unión de consumidores, de esta manera los anunciantes les pagan directamente a los consumidores en lugar de pagarles a los medios. La idea es tan simple que parece loca, pero funciona y cualquiera puede unirse gratis y ganar dinero. Por favor seguí leyendo. Esta compañía de la que te cuento se llama Planetabanner y funciona así. Es completamente GRATIS participar. No tenés que comprar nada, no tenés que vender nada, no tenés que cambiar la forma de navegar por la web. Cuando vayas al sitio de Planetabanner y te suscribas, vas a tener que ingresar tus datos y el código de la persona que te envió. Ellos te van a dar tu propio código y en poco tiempo te enviarán un e-mail avisándote cuando podés comenzar a utilizar este servicio. Cuando lo estés utilizando, en una pequeña ventana aparecerá una publicidad de los anunciantes, un banner rectangular. Este servicio lo podes mantener activo o suspender cuando vos quieras, pero por cada hora que sumes vas a ganar $ 7,20. Recordá que esto es completamente GRATUITO, y que siempre podes elegir si querés recibir las publicidades o no. Muy pronto te pagarán $ 0,70 por cada hora que una persona recomendada por vos haya utilizado el servicio. Por cada persona que tus referidos recomienden te pagarán $ 0,35 la hora. Y así dos niveles más. Esto una vez que se ponga en funcionamiento generará grandes cantidades de dinero. ¿Por qué hacen esto? Estarás pensando que esta gente tendrá que pagar mucho dinero por mes a los usuarios, y tenés razón, van a tener que pagar muchísimo a los consumidores. Pero no lo mires desde ese punto de vista. Miralo desde el punto de vista de lo que ellos pueden llegar a cobrar por este servicio. Es fácil. Planetabanner paga $ 8,95 por cada hora de usuario recibiendo publicidades ($ 7,20 para el usuario, 0,70 para él que lo refirió, $ 0,35 para la persona que los refirió, y así dos niveles más). Si ellos pueden vender avisos por más de $ 8,95 la hora por usuario automáticamente están ganando dinero, y te aseguro que son capaces de vender los avisos por más. Eso es todo. Ese es el gran secreto. La idea de ellos es vender las publicidades a un importe un poco mayor y así poder pagar a todos los usuarios y quedarse con el resto. Todo el mundo gana. ¿Por qué te conviene unirte? ¿Por qué no? Es absolutamente gratuito, y podés llegar a hacer una gran cantidad de dinero sólo por ver publicidades. No afecta ni interrumpe tu tiempo en la web, vas a seguir gastando el mismo tiempo en navegar que gastabas antes, en los mismos lugares, de la misma manera. La única diferencia es que vas a tener la posibilidad de recibir publicidades si querés, y te pagarán por eso. Y si conseguís que más gente se una, vas a ganar más dinero. ¿Se utiliza un modelo piramidal? En realidad no. Es algo parecido, pero sin limitaciones. No pagás nada, ni vendés nada o invertís tu tiempo en otras cosas. En un esquema piramidal el último que se une, pierde. En este esquema hasta el ultimo en unirse

Actualizacion de Kernel 3.
Hola. Al final ha dejado las fuentes internacionales llamadas kernel-source-2.2.4-intl y las he descomprimido y generado un enlace a /usr/src/linux. ¿Puedo borrar el archivo tar.gz una vez descomprimido o lo puedo volver a necesitar más adelante? Ahora, antes de seguir, me gustaría saber cómo tengo que modificar el LILO para que sea capaz de bootear con el kernel nuevo y también con el antiguo. He leído en el README algo así como que después de compilar el nuevo kernel, se generará un nuevo /vmlinuz que apuntará a la última imagen del kernel y también aparecerá un /vmlinuz.old que apuntará, a su vez, a la siguiente imagen más reciente. ¿Es así? Es decir, ¿esos /vmlinuz y /vmlinuz.old se generarán automáticamente o he de hacer algo concreto para lograrlo? Después dice que se podrá poner en el 'lilo.conf' las líneas: image = /vmlinuz image = /vmlinuz.old para (supongo) pueda arrancar con cada uno de los kernels. Es decir, si mi lilo.conf es: message=/root/inicio boot=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 compact install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=100 map=/boot/map vga=normal other=/dev/hda1 table=/dev/hda label=dos image=/vmlinuz label=linux read-only ¿Bastaría con añadir las líneas image=/vmlinuz.old label=old justo antes del 'read-only' (o justo después, no estoy seguro) y después, al arrancar escribir 'old' para que entrase con el kernel antiguo?

Re: split archives using tar
You would need to handle this using the -prune option to find. I just wrote a script to do something like what you are talking about, and I *think* that it looks like this: cd /home/howard find . -path .netscape/cache/* -prune -path vmware/* -prune -o -print \ | cpio -ovH crc /mnt/zip/homebackup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.cpio I will have to look at my scripts again to confirm the syntax exactly, but the above is generally correct I think. I think there is an option to find to let you avoid the 'cd' command as I have shown above, but I can't remember it right at the moment. The info pages for GNU find are excellent rainy day reading and using this command well is an art in itself. The find command shown above says: find all filepaths starting in the current directory if the path is like .netscape/cache/* then discard it from the list if the path is like vmware/* then discard it from the list or (-o) else include (-print) the filepath Unlike tar, cpio relies entirely on something else to generate the list of files for archiving. The list can come from anywhere but is very frequently generated by a find command. You can also have the list read from a file or use some other favorite utility to generate it. This makes cpio backups a litle more hassle to set up in the beginning for simple cases, but I think in the long run using find is much more flexible. --- Howard Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What command would one use to _exclude_ certain directories from the archive?

Re: debhelper, potato sources on slink

After installing the potato version of debhelper, it failed again, this time because some command (it might have been chown) did not support some command line option. Under another subject this problem was mentioned recently, but the author encountered problems related to debhelper and perl. This suggest to me, that 1) dependencies of debhelper in potato are wrong 2) (some/all) potato sources are build with potato debhelper Potato sources seem to be useless for slink installations. Does anybody know how to deal with this? I've had occasion to backport a lot of potato packages to slink (for inclusion on vendor CDs). I backported the debhelper package itself (which wasn't hard, but required acutally identifying the various potatoisms the scripts included, and backporting perl-5.004.05 just for the build process as well) and things got a fair bit easier from there. If you like I can mail you my .deb (debhelper_2.0.60huiac.slink.1_all.deb, 96Kb or so, installs cleanly on slink), which may make life easier for you. Other things to watch for when backporting from potato to slink: /usr/share/man - /usr/man /usr/share/doc - /usr/doc /usr/share/info - /usr/info WMs use update-alternatives - WMs dicker with /etc/X11/window-managers menu-2 syntax in menu-methods - menu-1 syntax in menu-methods dependencies on perl5 - dependencies on perl some .debs depend on debconf - port debconf or remove the dependency.

[Rank Newbie] Netgear ether card under Corel distrib
I am diving head first into Linux, but have done very little work with Unix in my career except a tiny but at University. My immediate problem is that I can't get network cards working under my Corel linux (or my sound card -- an inland Sound Card PCI 128 Wave Table -- but I'm prepared to leave that one for later). I have bought two cards now. Both have had me download .c versions of the tulip drivers, and neither of them would compile for my Debian variant O/S. I have tried reinstalling the OS from scratch after installing each set of cards, but it didn't help. I can see the cards in the control Center's ftp setup, and I can set options for it, but when I do ifconfig -a, all I get is the loopback. Plus, the control center sees only card and there are two. If you feel like commenting, the first thing I want this thing to do is run NAT, so if that is relevant to this discussion, please say so. I have a home-built ABP Dual-celeron 400 (couldn't get 366's any more) machine, with a downloaded Corel Linux distrib. So my immediate question is: I need to know what to do with the tulip.c file I got from Bay Networks for my Netgear FA 310TX cards (I have two, so I can run this thing as a NAT machine). The metaquestion, which might be more useful to me in the long run, is: How do I translate instructions about compiling for RedHat or Slackware into instructions for Debian? Specific questions, which might or might not be the right ones: - do I compile for a module or a monolithic kernel? - after hours spent reading the /usr/doc stuff, I tried to compile, but I found that one of the make files referred to a bunch of files that didn't actually exist (at least, not in the locations given in the file; and the first few I searched for didn't exist *at all* -- I know, I searched). I found a bug report on this one (#32456 -- http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/debian/Bugs/db/32/32456-b.html), but I can find nowhere to search for responses to these bug reports. The metametaquestion is where is the best place to find answers to these sorts of questions for myself. I spent most of yesterday trying to work this one out for myself. I visited a couple of hundred web pages, and read a significant proportion of the /usr/doc stuff, but I am no wiser about why the arrangement of the files in Debian is clearly very different to those in Redhat, what that means for compiling for Debian, etc. And I have a cable modem. This time was almost entirely spent reading stuff that didn't answer my questions. I like the philosophy of Debian, but if everything I get is going to be set up for Redhat, and if adapting them to Debian is going to be hard, I might have to give up on debian and go with Red Hat. I'd rather not, though! TIA Help!!!

receive email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So far I've managed to make exim accept emails for virtual.org.
Exim now sends these emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without rewriting

I've done this with the local_domains seting.
Now I want to make exim send all the mail for virtual.org to

aliases file for this domain.
Is there an easy way to do this? Can anybody who has done it
before please send me his exim.conf file and any other appropiate files?
Thank you very much!
I use lookup files for virtual domains.
My local_domains setting:
local_domains = \
my.net.au:*.my.net.au:localhost:partial3-lsearch;/etc/exim/clients/domains
Each of my directors has a domains= line for my real domains; e.g.
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
domains = localhost:my.net.au:*.my.net.au
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = .forward

I have a custom driver at the end of the Directors section, that
looks up what to do with virtual domains:
#
# This driver handles our virtual domains. It is
# last, to avoid unnecessary file lookups for real
# local addresses; this is why all of the above
# directors have a domains = line.
virtual:
driver = aliasfile
except_domains = localhost:my.met.au:*.my.net.au
domains = partial3-lsearch;/etc/exim/clients/domains
no_more
file = /etc/exim/clients/$domain_data
search_type = lsearch*
/etc/exim/clients/domains contains stuff like this:
*.v-domain1.com.au: file1
*.v-domain2.com.au: file2
*.v-domain3.com.au: file3
/etc/exim/clients/file{1,2,3} contain stuff like:

The file /etc/exim/clients/domains just relates virtual domains
to other files in /etc/exim/clients/, and allows exim to verify
that a specified domain is a local_domain; the other files in
/etc/exim/clients, one per virtual domain, act as an aliases
file for the virtual domain (and can be much more complex than
the default shown here). Testing delivery in the example

Re: mgetty external sportster
On thing you might want to set if it isn't already is ATB1. This tells the modem to use a fixed serial rate, not one that's adjustable based on connection. Since you showed that mgetty was able to communicate with the modem for setting it up it's a little weird that when rings come in it gets that garbage. Oh, the [0d] [0a] are CR and LF, respectively.

Re: python startup files
I dunno about .pythonrc.py. The docs I read said to put startup code in
~/.python-startup.py and this is what I use successfully. In order to modify
python's
search path from python code you just need to manipulate the sys.path list, eg.:
import sys
sys.path.append('path-to-append')
In order to augment the python search path from an environment variable just set
PYTHONPATH (colon-separated list just as the PATH variable). This is in the man
page.
Did you read the fine manual?

Re: python startup files

I dunno about .pythonrc.py. The docs I read said to put startup code in

python's
search path from python code you just need to manipulate the sys.path list,
eg.:
import sys
sys.path.append('path-to-append')
Hmm. That is what I was trying to do. It doesn't seem to work for me
under the name ~/.python-startup.py either.

In order to augment the python search path from an environment
variable just set PYTHONPATH (colon-separated list just as the PATH
variable). This is in the man page. Did you read the fine manual?
Well I have been reading a lot of python documentation but I am
willing to believe I have missed important parts :-).
On closer inspection of the manual page I see that the directories in
PYTHONPATH are prepended to the standard path list for python. My
(poorly phrased) question about adding to the search list was more a
question of whether PYTHONPATH is appended to the standard search
list, is prepended to the standard search list, or replaces the
standard search list. You are right - I could have gotten the answer
from the manual page.
It also appears that you need to set the environment variable
PYTHONSTARTUP to the name of the file that will be used for
initialization, whether that is ~/.pythonrc.py or
~/.python-startup.py. My standard shell startup doesn't set this
environment variable but I will change my ~/.bash-profile to do so.
$ export PYTHONSTARTUP=/home/bates/.python-startup.py

Two solutions (not real handy ones, but better than keep changing the configuration files): 1) For evey e-mail adress you want to send with you create a new user with that mail adress. 2) Make a lot of configuration files and rename them everytime you want to have another mail-address.

perhaps it sometimes fails and then goes on again.

Setting up 20 equal linux boxes
Hi, at my school we are running a Linux server which serves as a file-/http-server/internetgateway/WinNT-Domain-Master at the moment. In the near future we will get about 20 new machines which will run Linux (Debian of course). To allow flexible usage the home direcories of all users should be stored on the fileserver and should be mounted when users log into the clients. The User-Database could be an LDAP-Server. If anyone has experience with such things please send me your comments, tell me if there is information available or tell me that I should take a different approach.
