hello

can you tell me how to install dfu-programmer on debian etch?
i can not find the package with apt.

greetings remo
I successfully started a converted windows vista evaulation vhd I'm still fighting with the mouse and vnc :)
the bsod is probably a 7b error (inaccessible boot device, you may need to fix system registry hive to use standard ide but it's tricky and you need a windows box or of course a working windows vm :D)

contact me if interested (sherpya@netfarm.it)

I've fixed the compilation error and made it 64bit aware, I still need to test it anyway here the download link:

http://oss.netfarm.it/download/vhd2img-64bit-aware.tar.bz2

(use wget or direct link, a link from a page will cause 503)

Hello again,

Well, err, uh, duh!  I poked around in the .c file and removed the whole license preamble then it compiled just fine.  Sorry about that.  It worked great but the resulting .raw and converted .qcow2 file give me a BSOD when run with kvm.

Thanks,
Patrick.
Hello Jim,

This looks like just what the doctor ordered but it failed to compile for me:

Did I do something wrong or do you have any suggestions to help fix it?

Thanks much,

Oh cruel Apple. 12 hours after releasing the Apple Store they processed my application and sent me a key to test on my iPhone.

Decisions.

I think a better tool would be one that used a central repository with a copy of each package and called on the observed machine to generate on the fly signatures of files with a random seed.

A truly nasty rooter could still thwart that by faking things in either the C runtime library or the appropriate system calls.
Going forward:

I will have to drop dcc. Their licensing is no longer free enough to be distributed by Debian. That will slow more messages, but in practice anything dcc catches is also caught by spamassassin.

I'd like to add an adaptive whitelist out front to prevent false positives and give me a stream of known good messages for training the bogofilter. I haven't found one I like yet, but I keep looking. Maybe I'll have to write it.

An extra note on bogofilter:

Bogofilter is built with a single user in mind. I'm sure it works better when it has a single user's mail to think about and can rely on the human to tag the false positives and negatives.

In a 150 user common filter you can rely on exactly 0 of them to report their miscategorized spam. If you try to force them to comply you will find that 10% of them do it backwards and pollute your statistics so badly you have to erase everything and start again.

That said, it works quite well and is speedy and doesn't rely on external network servers so it makes a good first line of defense.
