 Does anyone know a good source of nerf guns/ammunition etc in Sydney?

Last time I looked, Toys`R'Us at chatswood had a good collection ... that's
where I got my 10-shooter from.  :) :)

[SLUG] equal cost multipath

2001-03-16 Thread Wayne Marsh

Hi,
Help required.
I am not subscribed to group so please post to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been looking for how-to or info on equal cost multipath routing
but have not had any luck. I have found out that I will have to
recompile
the kernel "that's ok can do" but how do I config multipath routing and
will
ipchains still work for fire walling?

I wish to share two cable modems from same ISP for out going connections
only.
Mail will run on one interface only. System will be used to firewall a
lan on
a 3rd interface.

Disto will be RH6.2 with the 2.2.17-14 kernel and all required security
updates.

Thanks for any help.

I think they are those guns that shoot foam rubber balls, as used in
inter office warfare.

Just another example of how the young lack skills - they probably shoot
themselves with rubber bands these days {:-).

Re: [SLUG] XMPS - sound but no video..

2001-03-16 Thread Jeff Waugh

quote who="Umar Goldeli"

 Fire it up, open a video.. and whammo.. I've got sound, but I've got no
 video - no little playing screen, nothing..
 
 The interface itself gets drawn etc.. but the video itself doesn't want to
 play.. the sound's great though.. :)

I had the same trouble with OpenDivX... I ended up copping out and using the
Windows DLLs and the plugin for them (which worked quite well, but I'm told
that OpenDivX does too when it behaves).

I suck, but Office Space was very funny! ;)

Is some merry prangster signing up Linux mailing lists with job recruitement
agencies? Just the other day a post on the Debian-Sparc list started "Dear
Debian," and  "I heard about the recent layoffs and was wondering...".

Although, I do find these posts _slightly_ better than spam. At least they're
meant to serve some legitimate purpose...

Hi,

I just wanted to warn you guys that this same Karyn caused a great flamewar in my 
local LUG's mailing list in Singapore. She maligned a local Linux company and 
threatened to sue almost everyone including the founder of the User Group.2

So you ended up using avifile? Or can you use the windows dll's with xmps
as well?

As long as I don't have to physically *boot* that dirty OS, I'm more than
happy to use the DLL's.. :)

Pt. Nerf guns are bulky and hard to hide for ambush.

I can have 15 rubber bands loaded in my fingers and nail you with them

It's all in the technique. :-)

I think it is a good thing to read varied views about a subject,
rather than just the positive ones. You don't have to agree with
someone's views to get something out of it. In the same way that
its also a good thing to have varied interests.

If you only read the negative articles about linux,  you wouldn't 
have a balanced view, the same goes if you only read the positive
ones.

Plus articles that have criticised linux have inspired developers
to make improvements, so they are good for something. But some of
the critical articles get rehashed every month, and that does get 
boring. But the new ones are worth reading, IMHO.
