Re: Trade show banner
I work for Fedex Kinko's in nashua, we do full color vinyl prints and cut vinyl banners the scrim vinyl (threaded) with Acushield is $12 sq foot, it is rated to last 7 years outdoors but we have nly had it for 3 so i am stil skeptical cut vinyl is custom qouted based on size and complexity(how many colors, graphics, and what meterials you want) any questions you can speak with me or if you come in geoff, rodney, or dave or the sign and banner reps. when your ready to order i can manage a 30% employee discount if i order it (but i will only be working their thru july before i go back to school) Steven Peterson Lori Hitchcock wrote: The original quote from General John Stark was "Live free or Die" Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or Give me death" Lori Hitchcock Hitchcock Staffing 603.766.5627 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Lembree Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 10:11 AM To: Ted Roche Cc: GNHLUG Organization Subject: Re: Trade show banner On May 15, 2005, at 12:30 PM, Ted Roche wrote: In my spare time (ha, ha!), I'd like to find out if we could get a banner for future tradeshow booths.

I figured I'd just go to the local Kinko's and find out what they can offer, what sort of file formats we can deliver to them, and what we can expect to pay. What else should the banner say? I'd like something catchy like "Live Free, Work Free, Play Free in New Hampshire" but I'm afraid that consensus on something like that, without too many libertarian vs. liberal vs. conservative vs. reactionary vs. dogmatic vs. "That's GNU/Linux" and "Free" vs. "Open" vs. "FLOSS" may be too much to take. It may be better to leave it simple and make it less threatening to the most prospective members. But perhaps I'm just being pessimistic . What would YOU like the banner to say?

This code uses "bigint" because, after all, we're dealing with
integers.

MerriLUG meeting this Thursday.
Hello, one and all. Our meeting this Thursday was putatively scheduled to talk about security, but something's come up that offers us an interesting look at the day-to-day meanderings of Linux as a political creature: the whole Linux World/Sys-Con/Maureen O'Gara/SCO/Groklaw debacle. (See links at bottom of page for pertinent links.) The person who really made the whole thing explode was one James Turner, the (now former) senior editor at Linux World... who just so happens to live in Derry. He wears many hats in addition to his editorship, and should make for an interesting speaker. (I bumped into him at the LinuxWorld Expo, and thought he'd be a prime candidate for speaker sometime -- though I hadn't envisioned these circumstances.) Regardless, I'm looking forward to hearing his piece. Please RSVP if you're planning the 6:00 dinner (7:00 meeting upstairs), so I can make reservations. Hopefully this time we won't be pre-empted by pesky basketball players. (Chris, at Martha's, isn't in today, so I can't be sure of the room's availability until tomorrow.)

Re: [OT] Combinatronics WAS Re: /dev/random and linux security issues (kinda long)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kevin D. Clark) Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 08:22:07 -0400 I sent these to Dave yesterday but I haven't heard any feedback yet. I've done a small amount of testing with these and they seem to work just fine. If you find a bug in these, please let me know. This code uses "bigint" because, after all, we're dealing with integers. I just love it when someone mails me code and says, "Here, run this Perl script." :) On your advice, I changed "use bignum" to "use bigint" in my code, and the results agree with both your script and my LISP version. How odd it is that, using "use bignum", the incorrect output from 10-to-95 can be fed into 95-to-10 to return the original number. !?! If you look at the man page for bignum, it's pretty clear that it claims to use Math::BigInt. So I don't understand why using bigint explicitly would change anything (except, perhaps, the need for int() around the / operation). Maybe it's a bug in bignum. Maybe it's a bug in the documentation. AFAIK, simply changing bignum to bigint shouldn't alter program function. With the exception of printing "0" on receipt of malformed input (i.e., the null string), your program appears to work correctly. (And it didn't appear to infect my system with any wierd number-coded trojan worm. :) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: recovering FC3 from a bad superblock
From: Greg Rundlett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 13:23:37 -0400 My work system is a dual-boot laptop running FC3 and Windows (don't actually use it). The battery ran out, and it seems like the cache First, it's just asking for data loss to run window$ and linux on the same machine. I've lost many gigabytes to window$ thinking it knew what to do with a linux partition and *quickly* learned to use removable drives. IMHO (and, probably, in fact) window$ is too dumb and arrogant to coexist peacefully with Linux. (A comical, but telling, example: The only Y2K bug I had was a result of McAfee thinking LILO was a virus.) got dumped onto the superblock b/c the next time I booted, it refused Onto the *superblock*?? Does the superblock lie in the area where that cache would have landed? mkdir test; mkdir test2; mount -r /dev/hda1 /test; mount -r /dev/hda2 /test2 And ls -al test2 shows me that there is a complete linux filesystem there, including the boot directory The fact that *this* happens is important. If mounting with the rescue disk works without complaint, your superblock is probably *in tact*. Instead, it may be mount and/or e2fsck which have somehow become corrupt As others have said, if you see a filesystem there, copy it. :) I am kinda lost on what to do to try to repair the superblock. If I try running e2fsck (read-only) on that partition, it doesn't complain. So, forcing it e2fsck -f -n /dev/hda2 tells me there are errors If, due to whatever hardware/software failure has occured, mount/e2fsck have become corrupt, then it is likely that other filesystem structures have also. I had my X libraries disappear once, because of a (only very slightly) bad stick of RAM. Using the so-called backup superblocks [block-size (8192 *n) +1], it reports a 'bad magic number' e2fsck -b 16384 -n /dev/hda2 You may also want to check this formula. From what I remember, the actual formula e2fs uses isn't linear. How should I go about fixing the 'errors' while the filesystem is not mounted? Or, how should I mount the filesystem properly so that it can be fixed, but not 'used' during the fix? : Can it hurt to repair a filesystem while it's mounted read-only? I am reading a grub howto now, but any help would be appreciated. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1413211 One thing which hasn't been mentioned on this thread is imaging the disk. If you can't access all the data you need from the parts of the filesystem which are still intact, you can image the drive (either to another drive, DVD, or whatever) and work on that later. That way, you could safely wipe/mess with/reinstall on the original drive and get running again in the interim. There are some docs on e2fs layout, e2fs recovery, and tools for editing and/or recovering data from e2fs filesystems (at least one is even automated). If you want to do some real studying, you could probably recover your data. But it would (guaranteed) take a Very Long Time(TM). Ask: Is it worth it? If so, there are also professional data recovery services (Excalibur in MA comes to mind). But they'll cost your shirt... and your pants... and y I've heard that the IDERAW features of kernels 2.4+ allow you to microstep your hard drive, so you can recover data that has actually been overwritten on the disk. Has anyone heard of software that is able to make use of this functionality?

I've been dual-booting Linux and Windows since 1996, and I've *NEVER* experienced data loss as a result. There was a recent bug involving partitioning when distros started switching to 2.6, but if you were careful and good at following directions, the problem was usually recoverable, IIRC. > The fact that *this* happens is important. If mounting with the > rescue disk works without complaint, your superblock is probably *in > tact*. Instead, it may be mount and/or e2fsck which have somehow > become corrupt That's just crazy talk. Odds are if mount or e2fsck were corrupt, they woudn't work at all, or they'd crash bigtime, probably making things a lot worse. >Using the so-called backup superblocks [block-size (8192 *n) +1], it >reports a 'bad magic number' >e2fsck -b 16384 -n /dev/hda2 > > You may also want to check this formula. From what I remember, the > actual formula e2fs uses isn't linear. You can determine the probable location of the back-up superblocks using mke2fs -n. Assuming the defaults were used, most likely your back-up superblock is at block 32768, which is why the e2fsck command listed above didn't work. The manpage for mke2fs gives the specifics of how to determine the primary back-up superblock. It's based on block size, as the OP says, but his formula isn't quite right. > : Can it hurt to repair a filesystem > while it's mounted read-only? Can it hurt? That depends on your perspective. If it's already broken, then it probably can't hurt much worse... The only real likelihood of e2fsck hurting your filesystem is if you happen to have a buggy version. It can delete files on you, but if you have a clue, you can look at /lost+found and figure out where the went... -- Derek D.
