JimRob & John Robinson - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER - or the Nut Roots will take down Free Republic

[cynwoody]

Are those new servers Apple Macintosh computer servers? If so, Apple computers as servers are among the best. Plus Apple has a great track record to having the least problems with hacking attacks.

FR runs the Apache web server on Linux.

Of course, you can run Linux on an Apple server. But you can also run it on any good quality server. So, no reason to shell out any extra $$ on hardware if all you're going to do is wipe the disk and install Linux.

As for resistance to hacking attacks, that would depend on Linux, Apache, and John and Jim's attention to the details and not on Mac OS, since it's not running in either case.

Bookmark the direct IP addresses if the DNS listing gets hacked.

Even that's not foolproof, since TCP sessions can be hijacked and IP headers can be spoofed.

I couldn’t get on for hours the other day, and after that, it has been very slow. Also when I try to go to the next page in a thread, I get an error message and have to do it again.

I figured it was because FR was getting new servers and all the bugs were being worked out. But what do I know? LOL.

This is the only site that this has happened with, so I know it’s not my computer. This time. ;^)

[Just another Joe]

Yeh, OK, I got lazy.
My bad.

[God willing, we will persevere.]

Thank you JimRob
Continuing prayers for your health and for Free Republic!

[rabscuttle385]

then you had d*mned better be prepared to be enslaved by the government you deserve, because you're about to get it.

Enslaved, eh? It's already happened. It's called the income tax.

And, someone is going to get stuck with the tab for all those bailouts, and I doubt that it will be anyone in Washington or in New York.

if that was what i implied than I apologize. What I meant every-time we are FReeped to a poll, the radical muckdivers then manipulate that poll.

We are voting one one one and they ....well...are skewing the polls.

Thanks for posting that FR2 link. Bookmarked.

[Cyber Liberty]

It had no effect on my observation, so I left it out.

If John and Jim made the changes suggested, I’d be outta here.

[Quix]

Yeah. It’s been a recent thing with me, too.

And only on FR.

[Between the Lines]

When I click on a link, I get a blank page. I have to reload to get the page content.

Same thing has been happening to me every since I upgraded to Opera 9.5

It seldom happens with Firefox, Explorer or my old version of Opera, so I just presumed it was the upgrade.

It's not the upgrade. It's happened I calculate 40% of the time on FR (both 2.0 and 3.0). Quix has had it happen on IE. It's a recent phenomenon, the last few weeks. It's not your browser or the upgrade.

Oh, and it just happened when I tried to post this...

[Quix]

It’s still a SHOCKING THING to me

just how much THE EVIDENTLY AVERAGE FREEPER

is UNAWARE or unbelieving

of just

HOW MUCH the globalists have ALREADY SHREDDED

our beloved Constitution and our Beloved Republic.

And they are far from finished.

[Obadiah]

I don’t mean to unnecessarily offend anyone, just some resurfaced critical posts that have me scratching my head wondering if they really feel at home here at my beloved FR. However, even in jest I never suggested we ban anyone, either before or after a certain date.

[bcsco]

My bad. When I typed “FR (both 2.0 and 3.0) I meant FIREFOX, not FR.

[Cinnamontea]

Very true. I know they must be skewing the polls. It's probably more effective to post conservative comments under articles and polls. Or maybe I just like to see leftist eyebrows shoot up in surprise. :-)

[ConservativeMan55]

bump

[AmericaUnited]

As for those polls people ask us to FReep, well these are being manipulated to Obama’s advantage. Also be aware that these folks are trying to figure out who is making adverse comments and seeking to identify their true identity.

Yup. A little hint for one and all... Install two or three different browsers on your PC, such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Opera. Use one such Internet Explorer as your main browser with standard privacy and cookie retention settings. When you go to the idiot or unknown sites, use your second browser, in which you have the security settings high, no permanent cookie retention, etc. This way they can't buy "double-click" marketing type info and attempt to identify you, among other things. Have the second browser settings set to clean/wipe everything on exit.

[ETL]

Do you use FireFox? I am having the same problem on multiple sites and I thought it started after FF was updated to 3.0.1.

I've been having lots of problems with my internet connection in general, but it doesn't appear related to FF-3, because the same things happen when I'm using IE-7. I have both browsers set up and ready to use.

[choirboy]

I've noticed a problem with FR over the past week. When I click on a link, I get a blank page. I have to reload to get the page content.

Dittos here.
