RE: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] advice on graphics hardware
by shailesh bhate 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Hi! Why not use GeForceIII or other such card? I heard somewhere that Matrox is slowly losing in competition and performance as well. I use a RivaTNT2 card and it has good performance, but I don't think it will satisfy the need for very high end graphics that you are looking for. Also, why are you going in for a branded PC? Try assembling your own PC. Its fun to build them and its very cheap as compared to branded ones. Also, try going in for a very good Motherboard too. FSB matters a lot. I would personally recommend an ASUS board. I myself use this board. A real performer. Alternatively, since you are putting in so much money, why not put some more and go for an SGI (Silicon Graphics) workstation? It rocks!

Perl for beginers?
by Nikhil Karkera 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Hi, Are there any good books on Perl for beginers? Online sources prefered. I'm already reading through the man pages. Also, I write my Perl programs in pico and run them from the shell prompt. Any better way to do this? I would prefer working on console and not on X. Still, please suggest X utilities also, if any. Many thanks, Nikhil.

Hi, Anybody installed GNU/Linux computers with M2/Cyrix/AMD cpu. Have you encountered any problems. A friend of mine has a M2 system and wants to install gnu/linux on it and wanted to know if there are any known problems since these are not Intel chips. I plan to do a course in c, c++ and unix. Any good institutes that you know of. I stay at borivili and work at nariman point and am looking towards an institute in the western suburbs. Also, any good books you recommend. Regards, Noel.

suggestions for linux workshop
by Aarjav Trivedi 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

hello guys We have an ieee tech workshop in my college in October. I want to do a Linux workshop. While one of the things it would include is Linux installation, that is a little bit commonplace, i need your suggestions for 1) How to make the workshop interesting for newbies (Most wouldnt know any thing about Linux) 2) Which are the places where Linux can outdo Windows, more precisely how do i answer the question "Why is Linux better than Windows for me ?" when asked by an average joe who probably can get a pirated Windows CD as easily as a free Linux CD and who probably doesnt care about 99.99% uptime except that he doesnt like the frequent crashes on his windows machine. theres still time for the worskshop, its in october so do drop in suggestions even if they strike u after a few days. thanks bye aarjav __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Possible spam hole in mail servers
by Philip S Tellis 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Please try this on your mail server. I have already tried it on many servers, including postfix and sendmail. All are vulnerable. telnet mailhost 25 helo hostname mail from: <> rcpt to: user@mailhost data ... the important things are - 1. the mail from address is blank: <> 2. the rcpt to addresses are within the mail servers domains so relay is not a problem This allows spammers to send mail using a null return address. In the mail, the address gets translated to MAILER-daemon. To fix it in sendmail, go down to ruleset 3, search for a line that starts with R<> It should look like this: R<> $@ < @ > MAIL FROM:<> case change it to this: R<> $#error $@ 5.1.3 $: "User address required" That should block anonymous senders. Any idea why this is allowed (there is a special rule to allow it) at all? Philip -- Repel them. Repel them.

Reminder: ACM Seminar, LISP/CLOS, Thursday 30/8, SNDT Juhu campus..
by Durgesh D Rao 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you of the following event. Please note that the day and venue are different from the usual ACM seminar -- the day is Thursday, and the venue is SNDT Santacruz/Juhu. Regards, - Durgesh, for ACM Mumbai ACM Seminar Thursday, August 30, 2001 - 6:00 p.m. Title: A fresh look at LISP and CLOS Speaker: Durgesh D. Rao (NCST) Venue: Dept. of Computer Science, SNDT, Juhu Campus, Juhu Tara Road, Opp. Lido Theatre, Santacruz (W), Mumbai 400049. (ph. 6606648) Abstract: LISP has traditionally been regarded as an esoteric, "AI" language, and hence largely ignored by the programming community. What is not widely appreciated is that LISP, and its OO extension, CLOS, are general-purpose languages that are elegant and powerful, and are used in a number of important non-AI applications due to the many advantages they provide. Moreover, LISP and CLOS have pioneered several crucial ideas that are slowly finding their way into mainstream languages such as C++ and Java. In this seminar, I will try and illustrate those key features of LISP and CLOS that make them interesting and useful as languages for rapid prototyping and dynamic OOP. About the Speaker: Durgesh Rao is a Research Scientist in the KBCS division at NCST. He enjoys using LISP, and likes to share this joy with others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
