I'm not from Juniper, but security-lab1.juniper.net is a Tor exit node, so it is possible another party was running their bot through Junipers hidden service.

Lee, i get the same issue.

I've followed the instructions. I start XP in a virtual machine, i manage to get grub menu then i select Windows XP and it says immediately "Starting up..." then nothing happens. well all i can see is the CPU going flat out..

I can't find a solution for this. Anyone got ideas?

What are the implications of running this without a security manager on a production website? I simply cannot get it to run without disabling it!

Re: VMWare running native XP on SATA disk, part 2

Great guide, easy to follow! But I've run into a problem. When trying to boot the vm I select Windows XP at the GRUB menu and it immediately says 'Starting up...' but beyond that it never proceeds. I have installed the SCSI driver in Windows and verified my Windows partition isn't mounted by checking the output of 'mount'. Any thoughts what I should check? Is there anyone else out there experiencing this problem?

Re: App.yaml vs Settings.py

IanMLewis — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 04:12:46 -0000

Your app.yaml and your settings.py are really quite different. If you are using django on appengine these two will be treated differently.

You can think of the app.yaml as your webserver configuration. The web server can serve static files do many things much faster if it doesn't have to invoke your application python code. It that way it's best to set your static file urls and caching expriation in your app.yaml file rather than your urls.py or settings.py or views. This is the same for deploying a django app with lighty or apache.

In terms of the debug in development versus production, I think the best practice there is to make a deploy directory which contains a deploy.py to write an app.yaml file out for production or local development. You can use python's built in string.Template module for that. You'll want to add the deploy/ directory to skip_files in your app.yaml so it isn't deployed to production though.

Hello man,your article is very good. I've tried it with vista instead of xp as guest o/s and with ubuntu 8.10 as host o/s. It hasn't worked. Vista crashed at the windows logo with a fast blue screen of death. Can you help me ?

Hi, good news. Now I can download images from wikipedia. However, I found that the dump files did not include the pages from wikimedia commons. So I am not sure images and their corresponding text can be download. Anyone can give me some hints about how to download papes from wikimedia commons, Thanks!

Re: The origin of CloudFronts competitive advantage

Steven Roussey — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:39:53 -0000

An origin server is great when you have semi-dynamic content. Otherwise, you have to add an extra step to grab from your server yourself, save it as a file and transfer to S3.
