I've got an Ubuntu server box, which frequently gets some SSH brute-force attacks. Occasionally when I check my auth.log and see that a certain IP did a crapload of attacks, I just add a firewall...
Thanks for the reply. Being more specific in the udev rule actually seems like a feasible solution. I will try it out as soon as I can, and will let you know the results.
Hi,
I've successfully created a telnet client in Python. My next step is to read the text which is currently on the screen. In other words, I have to find text which is currently displayed to the...
Just an idea:
You can also place your fonts into ~/.fonts/ instead of /usr/share/fonts/. This will have a few benefits, like: no sudo to place the fonts there, and you'll only have to backup the...
Hmm I just started a thread explaining the same problem.
My udev rule works fine, my script gets executed perfectly, albeit 14 times or so. I am not sure how this is happening, but I really don't...
Hi guys,
I've been creating a udev rule + script to make it automatically backup a usb thumb drive of mine, when it's inserted. The rule matches my drive perfectly, and yay, my script is run as...
Start with C++. Like beyboo said: the share the same syntax base, but there are loads of difference. If you learn C first, you'll have to unlearn it if you go to C++. Wasted time if you want to go...
Eclipse CDT does the job very well for me. You're already used to Java, so Eclipse may be familiar to you.
Okay.... thanks for the information though, it seems it loads up quite a discussion :)
I'm in the making of a 2D game engine, so we'll probably use 2D sprites only. A character has to walk over a...
Ah good to hear! Well just to be sure, it's not only coding, but being present in IRC some time helps for me, so I can discuss things on the fly. It's not that I am on IRC 24/7 because of the illness...
I mailed this towards the gamepower@lists.sf.net mailing list too, but I thought that I might as well put it here so people know my thoughts.

Hi...
For starters: I know OpenGL is a graphics library, and collision detection needs to be handled by custom code.
I've searched the net for some ideas how to do collision detection per pixel with...
I am a big fan of the Mersenne Twister RNG. Perhaps it's viable for you to look into that.
It helps if you compile using the flag -Wall, which generates all warnings (assuming you use GCC). If I tried to compile it, it would output:
make all
mkdir -p ./bin
g++ -Wall -O2 -c...
Try
scanf("%d", &coin);
Alright, I had nothing to do so here's my go. It's in C++. My first try was in C only, but decided to make it a little more object oriented :)
Features:
- Outputs to a terminal
- Wraps around...
I installed Gutsy again. Ndiswrapper + rt2500 works now, although it drops a connection here and there. I believe I fixed this previously by compiling a new version of ndiswrapper.
Overall, I get...
I happen to use the CDT plugin too (C/C++ Developer Tools) for Eclipse. How I installed it was as follows:
Download Eclipse. I did not use the repositories from Ubuntu by the way.
I untarred...
Hey Wieman01,
I re-read your comment on another post about 'Hardy not supporting static IP addresses'.
I was screwing around a bit, mainly with System -> Administration -> Network. I edited my...
I got the driver from the Linksys website. I can connect to my router using SerialMonkey's drivers (although the connection seems to drop every 2 minutes), so the card is working fine.
I've also...
Thanks for your response, I really appreciate it.
How the original file looked... I don't know. I didn't save my previous /etc/networking/interfaces file, because I thought I would get it to work...
Hi Wieman01,
Thanks for all the effort you put into all this.
I've installed Hardy Heron a week ago or so, and back with Gutsy everything worked smoothly with your tutorial, except with Hardy....
I like it the way it is now. I like to configure my own destination where my downloads go, either by configuring or some other way.
I've been trying to compile and run NeHe (Gamedev) tutorial #43, which is about freetype2 and OpenGL. With that tutorial there is a SDL version too. I've compiled and tried to run it, but it exits...
