No, I don't think there's any issue with the ISP sending mail on my behalf, pair.com, it's almost certainly down to forged spam using my email address.

An example from our coursework - people gained marks for putting a not putting firewall between an internet connect and a web-server. Those who put a firewall between did not receive the marks. Of the people I know who did use a firewall they worked the system internet connection -> firewall -> web server. With access to non-web ports (for remote access - I used 22 for ssh some people used more Microsoft focussed ports - honestly remote desktop on a web server?) only allowed from a restricted list of ip addresses or something. With this mark being 'lost' it was defended for a) security and b) resiliancy. If there is a firewall between the server and the internet then some protection from DDoS and other attacks can be put in place. The lecturer just stood and said, web servers should be open to the web so you don't need a firewall. Like I say, even justified and (personally) correct answer just don't fit into his 10 year old text-books so they are wrong. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-12 20:00 *New date* Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

If you have time in the exam, why not do it the way that you have been taught (Cisco?) and then do it your own way, and analyse the differences and advantages of each. You will get marks for what you have done - the lecturers way - But you won't get marks deducted for your own way, and you could pick up some extra marks for your analysis.

I'm inclined to agree - as one of the students with an exam - however I have to put the exam down as my priority. Painful exam I have anyway, networking exam that has to be answered the way the lecturer wants - not the way I feel the networking should be done. At least the other exams are the way I feel I should approach them. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-12 20:00 *New date* Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

Peter, I agree. Back when I was in the mill, I'd precis my entire course notes into four-six pages per course, and learn the lot. Mnemonics where necessary. To learn the linear 6 DOF equations of motion I learned two numbers, a row number and a column number. These gave me the (sparse) matrix for the EOM, which I wrote down on scrap paper as soon as I got into the exam. The night before I stopped studying about 8 and had a drink. A year later I was teaching aerodynamics.

Hi Dorset LUG, OK, so various people are saying to put it off tonight's meeting due to possible snow. Terry Coles is the only regular we haven't heard from? So far, it isn't clear there's anyone who *is* going tonight. :-) Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-05 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

I am/was going to be taking Robert up on his offer of a lift in, but can see that it could be tricky getting there and especially back again. So amybe it does make sense to defer. (Mind you, the pub probably won't be too crowded ;-) (OT) - incidentally, I don't seem to have seen the mails from Ralph in my Gmail inbox.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to put the meet off for a week. I might be able to make it, but I don't like driving in snow(because none of the other drivers seems to know how) and if nobody else is there there would be point in going.

Given I've two passengers I was going to play it by ear and possibly come. Most of the forecasts are putting the 'heavy' snow around 18:00. So I'll probably be on IRC at around 19:00 too see how bad things are. The met office is reporting they are only 60% sure of the prediction - I suppose snow isn't the easiest thing to predict. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-05 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset

Hi again, > So, anyone think tonight should be postponed? I'm hesitant to cancel > others fun, especially as I can't make it myself anyway. :-( Clive and Peter have both said they can't make it on Terry's earlier thread. And http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/4833435.Icy_conditions_predicted_for_the_rest_of_the_week/ says Dorchester could be one of the worst hit places, although that has all the accuracy of a weather forecast. :-) So, perhaps it's easier the other way.
