        I want to be hopeful and optimistic but Wolverine: Origins left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't even watch Spidey 3, and I forgot to mention Jonah - HdnAgnda Jul 29, 08:11 1
        
        And I would like to see Capt America rock. That is probably the one I have the most hope for. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 29, 08:27
        
        yeah, it's a bit like judging horror movies by Baghead. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 08:09
      - Agree completely. I wouldn't mind seeing these movies fade for a while. - MDH Jul 29, 08:05

Dumb tech question of the day. When managing a Linux sever, how can you determine if FTP is enabled - ty97 Jul 29, 07:46 8
- Do "man netstat" and the command you can use is "netstat -l" which will list all listening sockets on the server - oblique Jul 29, 07:52 1
  - that's a lowercase L, btw -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 07:52
- nmap localhost -- nm - decline Jul 29, 07:49
- > ftp [ip_address] and see what happens -- nm - zork Jul 29, 07:48 4
  - If that's denied, couldn't that just mean that FTP is allowed, just not fom me / my IP? - ty97 Jul 29, 07:49 2
    - keep in mind you need to check 2 things: 1) that the service is running (usually through xinetd) and 2) that the firewall is allowing connects to that - decline Jul 29, 08:07
    - ftp 127.0.0.1 ?? -- nm - zork Jul 29, 07:51

- Can you surf the web on the 3g version using 3g? I used a 2nd gen wifi and the web browser was an "experiment" app. -- nm - lileve Jul 29, 08:04 1
  - It's listed as an "experimental" app, but you can surf the web. - Ender Jul 29, 08:13
- The plus side of the 3G is that it's free internet for life. When you're destitute and homeless you can still surf the web in greyscale. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 07:50
- I think that really depends on where you live and travel. I live in the country and there are probably only 2-3 places with wifi near me - decline Jul 29, 07:48 7
  - we have neighborhood wifi that I can sometimes get in my apartment, which is pretty cool. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 08:00
  - I won't say every, but lots and lots of McD have free WiFi (and Panera/Starbucks) as well as many local places. I see the signs up - oblique Jul 29, 07:49 5
