i should have been more specific... if i am on one of my computers and am logging into another and using files from that other machine (say excel spreadsheets) i don't want others to have access to them. i wasn't talking about security through the internet itself. however you did answer my question about encrypting the communications from machine to machine... thanks:)
i am going to install wireless in my house and have been pondering similar things such as "what about when i'm my bills from my laptop" so i've been concerned that neighbors might be able to snag any outlying signal. anyway, i'm curious if kerberos would work as a means of securing my internal network? admittedly i don't know a heck of a lot about kerberos, but it sounds like a possible solution. i understand that it is an authentication system, but don't the communications that go over it get encrypted as well? thanks.
btw, what's up w/ slashdot today? i know they were moving to a new version of the code and they also were moving servers from east to west coasts. other than that, i'd like to know what the hell is going on... anyone know? thanks:)
oh kinda like how i just recv'd this error message a few minutes ago:

faster, thinner (clie or visor edge) and more reliable (i've used my iiixe extensively for years and have yet to have any reliability issues) are things that are already available...
the others are still issues and would be welcomed with open arms (although the new tungstens are much much faster)...
agreed... most replies to this are going to be conjecture as there hasn't even been enough time for most people to have even gotten theirs if they'd ordered it online...
what self respecting geek doesn't like that combination? too bad there aren't more like her as the computing (not just tv) industry needs a little more gender diversity than the standard overweight male basement dwellers and insecure pimply dorky guys that seem to occupy most of it. this will hopefully change as time goes on and technology is more prevalent in schools and understood by 'the masses'. this seems to be the biggest open gap i see in the industry today...
[sarcasm] so that's what the dmca is all about? i couldn't tell cuz it's so vague. i thought it had something to do with my drivers license or something. beats me. thanks! [/sarcasm];)
See that's just it, cuz your little credit union is undoubtedly using a customized off-the-shelf solution. One of my bank's works fine with Opera (which I use as my primary browser) but I've had problems with another bank. It is annoying that a couple of lines of javascript can throw off compatibility so much. The bank I used to work for would speak with our customers who were having problems and get a full report as to what is going on and then we would try to duplicate the problem and see if we could implement a fix, if not we would send it to our vendor and they would fix it. We had pretty good success with doing that. Customer communication is the key here, and if your bank just doesn't care, well perhaps that is a sign that your money doesn't belong there...
these guys have been doing this kind of thing for years (if i remember correctly they started out with the old locked cd's and selling people keys to the software and then moved onto web distribution when it became feasable)... of course they'll want a cut of sale, but it'll be easier to manage than doing it yourself...
in addition, was it rollins' music/poetry/tatooes/shirtlessness/yelling/screami ng/etc. that interested you in bringing him on board or was it just that he's tired of voicing episodes of behind the music on vh1?
WEP seems like a good way to keep out the honest people for home users, kind of like locking your doors at night because most people won't go further. Locks on doors are easy to break though and have weaknesses similar to WEP (go through the window, find the key under the doormat, etc..). However there seems to be another problem with many WEP implementations in that it slows down the transfer speeds, often by as much as 20-50%. This is enough to keep someone who is happy with the idea of getting 11mbps speeds (but wishes it was 100) from turning it on...
if you pull the keyboard or mouse on an old ibm brand computers while it is powered on will kill the keyboard controller requiring you to send it in for service...
Slashdot Mirror
too bad the dmca says otherwise... at least in certain circumstances anyway.

...as you want it to be. what hype does it have to live up to?

i suppose you are posting this outside then?
naww, she doesn't live in a basement and write manifestos.

and then flash the memory and do what you want to it. dunno why you'd bother, but whatever.

the dumb part was the fault of the author of the book where they came from, not techtv's...
i could lend you a few old issues of boys life magazine with plans to build a robot out of a garbage can and a tyco remote control car.
oh yeah and you'll probably want to take some books out on basic pyrotechnic safety too.
