  1. blah! on On the Problems with Laptops in School? · · Score: 1

    I carried a laptop throughout high school, it sucked!

    First of all, 802.11b, if you get a collision, you loose communications for a little while (a noticable period). Also, I have friends that worked in university labs, they have told me in the past that there are a few software packages out there that are designed for situations like that. Check with a college it/mis department, or maybe somebody who works for the school system may know about such software.

  2. Re:Coming in OpenSSL soon... on AES Announced as Federal Standard · · Score: 1

    I think there is a patch floating around for frees/wan... to support AES/Rijndael. They have yet to mention anything about it, but I'm assuming it will be in a release very shortly... ofcorse, they don't seem to like anything american.

  3. Re:Dumped on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 1

    Yeah, thats normal response time. I had an office I had to support in Richmond that got one of those setups. It was impossible to get ipsec to work over that thing.

    I would have advised some better network connection, but they liked the speed. I wish I knew of the problems that it had before I gave the ok to let them install it. I only found out the problems from experence (running vnc would somehow cause the sync to go out on the link....), and I found out one of my friends from irc beta tested the two way satellite internet setup for whatever that company was that went down the tubes a while back. He said that it just plainly SUCKED.

    When I say powered, I mean the actual equipment at the phone company CO. The local loop is with your Incumbent LEC, the ip is powered by your isp, but what Covad owns is the equipment that does the encoding and the singnal on the loop. Beoynd that, in most cases with SDSL, its frame relay. ADSL is simular in setup, but its more a ethernet bridge than what SDSL is.

  5. Re:Dumped on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 1

    Ummm.... Most of the DSL service in the US is powered by Covad. AT&T is planning on buying covad if they offically plan to close their doors, so you may end up back on that tit, but you will not know it.

    It looks as if there are another two pallets by the door. 14 pallets? I would just like those pallets in my house.....

    I like the quote. Its a good one.

  8. Re:Already shut down for me and others on Kazaa to be shut down? · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that most universities have atleast one insecure proxy so staff can "access the intranet" from home.

    I know mine does, and so do sevral other schools in the state. The address can found burried deep in the university website, most likely the library website.

  9. Re:it's an even number trek on Star Trek: Nemesis Gets the Go Signal · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is very true, if your a true trekie, you know that the odd numbered movies sucked!!

    so, it CAN'T be TOOOOO bad

  10. Re:Rumored to be last TNG movie... on Star Trek: Nemesis Gets the Go Signal · · Score: 1

    This one has been floating around for a while. Stewart has for ages wanted to go back to stage acting. And I must say, he is a damn good stage actor. I have seen him perform at UCLA when I was much younger. Back before I was really even a trekie. He does do it in his spare time some, but I know he is much more interrested in stage acting then doing startrek movies with horrible plots.

  11. AT&T must allways have the same backup plan... on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    AT&T's philosophy seems to be that if they are partnered with you, and they are making money, and if your having problems, they are going to buy you out. AT&T has said quite openlly that they may buy Covad just to keep their customers up. I can see the same thing happening with Excite@home.

    BTW, If nobody was aware of this, SDSL through AT&T is powered by Covad.

  12. Re:Payroll deductions... on Wil Wheaton playing for EFF · · Score: 1

    It would be easy to do, just go talk to your accounting department. They can make neccessary arangments. The only thing with the united way is what you can have taken out of your check, goes to what your company donates, besides, the United Way and The Red Cross have tooo much money as it is.

  13. Re:Moon base Alpha on Mining On The Moon · · Score: 1

    LOL

    *falls over laughing his ass off*

    Damn... what happened to them anyway, did they ever get home or anything? I think the scifi channel stopped broadcasting it.

    Personally, It would be cool to have a moon base.... and a space dock.... we could use the resorcs there to build a fleet of startrek like starships!

    think about it, hydrogen and oxygen are in the dust, make a big chamber, fill it with oxygen, then you have hydrogen and spare oxygen for cutting and welding tools... a small nuclear reactor could power arc furnaces and metal refineries.

  14. Wow.... but how long was the link up for? on Laser for Satellite to Satellite Communications · · Score: 1

    How long was the link up for... I'm wondering because one is in a fixed orbit over a single piece of land, while the other is flying around the earth once what? every 90-120 minutes?

    The sheer logistics of keeping that link up would be nearly mind boggleing.... So is anybody going to try this with a spot on the planet with a bird up in the sky (satellite)?

  17. I don't think this is a good idea on Would You Pay A Penny Per Page? · · Score: 1

    The problem is, that, most people would probilly spend over a dollor a day with something like this, so they are looking at about 30 dollors by the end of the month. With times like they are now, some people cannot afford a spare 30 bucks to browse the web. This could Effectivly kill the web... atleast on port 80... or atleast give somebody a reason to outlaw apache because it dosen't support "Web access micropayments". I bet the next version of IIS will have code in it for such a use.

    thats what the companies would do, so they can use up your minutes when your getting your email...

    I was looking at it, and I think it has to be done by a script or something. I remember seeing it two years ago, and its changed a lot.

    I would hate to break it to the moderators, but kerberos is exactly what this dude needs. Its token based, can be used with a radius server, and is supported by win2k.
