That's pretty much what I do. It more or less happens naturally. I've made a decision to secure my network from the Internet but not from my neighbors. If I ever get burned by that (unlikely in my little suburban cul-de-sac) I'll change the policy.
As for giving them only 10% of my network, just be being 100 feet or so (~30 meters) from the access point they can only get about 1 Mbs from the next house over.
I can see that nobody has ever logged on but in my dreams most of the neighborhood starts providing wireless access and the entire subdivision is wireless and broadband. I'll bring a laptop to the pool and they'll bring a laptop to the basketball hoop down the street. (Ok, it's a weak dream but it seems neat to me)
Please - this was just an audit of what agencies SAID they did. Can you imagine the grade they'd get if they actually scanned the systems and networks for vulnerabilities?
Actually, I think you need to read the article more closely.
The GAO routinely hacks into federal computers to test security and rarely fails. At the Commerce Department, for example, the GAO in August found some computers didn't require any passwords; some used "password" as the password; and entire lists of passwords were stored in plain view on the computers themselves. When one Commerce employee detected investigators trying to hack the agency's computers during their testing, he launched an illegal, electronic counterattack against the GAO.
I'm pretty sure they didn't gather the "we keep passwords taped to our monitors" information through a form that the DOD filled out.
I assume he hates BC for the same reasons I do. I think his humor is lame. I remember a scene in "When Harry Met Sally" where he goes on and on about Mr. Parpikosh and how Mr. Parpikosh like peperoni pizza. He said it in such an annoying voice that it made me hate his character.
His dumb voices haven't changed in ages. I'm tired of him.
BTW, this isn't meant as a flame. He asked why people don't like him.
I like keyboard shortcuts too but you example isn't perfect.
For one, I pasted your paragraph into notepad and your shortcuts didn't work. (The paragraph selection) I tried it in winword and it worked fine. So if it's not standard in yhe OS you lose a lot.
Finally, paragraph selection isn't quite as easy if you're not talking about the current paragraph. If you needed to pick a paragraph that was six pages away the mouse would be better. In short, you need both. (I bet you'll agree with this)
Offtopic? Whoever modded this down is trying to quiet critics. This isn't offtopic. It might be wrong (I'm not sure) but the moderator's motives were not pure.
Is his party obliged to nominate him for a second term anyway?
Obliged, no. However, they always do. I can't remember a single instance of a sitting president not being endorsed by his party. In short, he will be endorsed becaused a sitting president has a much better chance of getting elected than a new guy.
FYI, the person who gets nominated is choosen by the people. However, the sitting president always wins that too because he has a much better position to raise campaign funds.
That's what they said during the gulf war. I remember reading a WSJ article saying the democrats didn't even want to run because getting crushed would ruin their career.
That didn't happen. That war is too early to determin the outcome of the next election. (according to me)
BTW, so is this MSFT business. However, at least I'll remember.
Yeah, I was thinking that as I wrote my post. However, it's well know and widely reported that Bush told the judicial branch what to do. I just don't think the powers are as seperate as they should be.
Having a panel and some experts running Microsoft will probably do more than breaking them up
You have more faith in this panel than I do. I suspect it will have no real power and that MSFT will ignore them. I'm sad to see how this is turning out. Still, I have high hopes that the states will keep going.
An industry trade group that has been critical of Microsoft's business practices accused the Bush administration of "selling out" by seeking weak penalties.
Americans let's remember this when it's time to vote again in a few years. Bush, more so than any administration I can remember, is for sale. He's too close to the business and too far from the people. Finally, he doesn't understand the issues.
This isn't meant to be flamebait. Heck, I voted for him (sorry about that). I'm just saying it would be foolish to fail to consider that he instructed to courts to back down when it's time to vote again.
The attorneys generals from the states that sued Microsoft for antitrust violations were weighing whether to sign onto the deal
This is the critical point. The feds have backed off because they received instructions from the White House (read Bush) to do so. However, the states may decide to persue this on their own.
Aren't you the same troll who said I couldn't pass the CPA exam?
Do a little research before you put your ignorance on display. You can write off 20% of the cost of the good per year over five years. However, a writeoff is not a credit. If you spend $1 on this thing you'll get about 20% of $0.28 per year for five years. (assuming 28% tax bracket)
After five years (not three) you'll have $0.28 back, not your dollar.
I never took the exam. I worked as a junior account for two years while going to school at night. I realized that I didn't like accounting and that I loved computers. I added a second major, MIS, and started coding. I've been doing that for about 8 years now and I'm almost finished my comp sci master's degree. I work as a "tech lead" in the IT dept of a huge networking company (Cisco Systems).
I'm not an idiot that couldn't pass the exam, I made a career change.
Good thing I'm planning on seeing both of those movies anyway.
Really? I'm probably going to see the next star wars but I'm not eagerly looking forward to it. C'mon, the last two star wars movies sucked.
I'm not looking to start a flame war but I really don't see this as a major event. It's not even "News for Nerds". It's just news for star wars fans that haven't stopped caring after the last two episodes.

i am truly at a loss as to why one would install gnome over os x
I'm surprised nobody else said this; It's let's me run my X apps. As a long time linux user who just switched to OSX I find myself missing gvim, gaim, etc. With X11, I can get these things going again. Now I have the beauty of OSX, the stability of unix (bsd), and the apps of the open source world. I like my apple.
You're getting a lot of attention for your line about doing so well at such a young age. It's important to note that you might not be surrounded by super talent.
I worked for a company with about 1200 employees. I was a stud. People from all over the company would call and ask me for advice and usually I would come through. Vice Presidents asked for me to be included on projects when they were either failing or were just very important. My title (for whatever that's worth) was Senior Software Engineer at 25 years old.
Then I took at job at a company with 30,000 employees (Cisco). I became normal. I asked people for help and they often knew more than me. I put forth ideas and they had counter ideas that were better than mine. I learned a lot.
It's been a few years now and I'm getting to be a bigger fish in a bigger pond. Now I'm called a "tech lead" and I'm finishing up my comp sci masters.
The point of all this rambling is to make sure you know that you're quite likely not to be the supreme ruler of all things binary. Be sure to respect that people around you and recognize that many times, they'll be right and you'll be wrong.
No, I comment my code. Really, people always beat up Perl and say that it's not readable. That's not true. I would guess that anybody who spends a fair amount of time in Perl learns to use the $,%,@, and etc. as their friends.
These things are convient shorthand, not unreadable code, if you spend some time with the language.

Yeah, ok I'm a karma whore. Still, if it helps this guy what's the harm?Ah, no. If computers take over the world it will be because of a massive advance in intelligent software, not a bandwidth improvement.
Then again, what do I know?
PDA screens are not too small (according to me). I use mine to store address/phone info, keep track of my calendar, and to read from (advantgo).
It does all of these things nicely. If it were even one cm larger it would build in the pockets of my jeans. (ok, no jokes here)
The thing that keeps it from doing anything more than that is that it's hard to input text into it, not that it's hard to get info out of it.
I'm not in the movie business but I a modification of your formula.
The real equation is: 'good writing + good acting + good light, sound and camera work = good film'.
I would say:
if (good_writing && good_acting && (good_light && good_sound && good_camera_work)) {
film = "good";
else {
film = "bad";
}
What I'm trying to say here is that you need all of these things. Simple addition implies that one area can compensate for another.

Ok, I don't like him, but I never said he was evil. I pay close attention to what he does and I think he is both wrong and bad, but not evil.
I bet he thinks he's doing what's right for the country. I think he's wrong.

Well, at least not a legal one. If you use a computer for mixed personal/professional you can only write off the professional portion of the expense.
Disclaimer: I am not a CPA but I do have an accounting degree and I've spent several years as a professional tax preparer working in a CPA's office.
Can you explain why you don't like the character? I always thought he was sort of cool. I just can't see any reason to not to like Wesley.
