They aren't at the stage yet where machines can recognize people based on gait and mannerism. Facial recognition is a best guess and still requires a human to be sure of the fact just like fingerprint systems.
You'll find that some places use Linux as a stepping stone to get into the more mature *nix-like OSes. The switch from Linux->FreeBSD isn't nearly as daunting as the quantum leap from Windows->Linux.

Sadly, Vancouver, BC does not show up on their connectivity map.
If you're at a university in Canada then you are likely running through CA*net4 anyhow. Think of "Internet2" in the US but fully optical with OC-192 speeds (10 Gb/sec) across most of Canada. (NB: We connect to it through work at Canada's National Research Council
It isn't actually from that university, just the return address (likely forged) is. Note where it really originated.

Ensure that home machines (ones that you haven't configured) get IPs in a VLAN group which you've bandwidth throttled on the routers/switches along the say so the rest of the VLANs don't get choked by home-grown disasters.
Machines you have control over can get IPs in another VLAN which isn't throttled, or at least not as much as your "uncontrollable" VLAN. At the router where the VLANs can meet have strong ACLs and traffic flow control.
Just because you give them access with their own machines doesn't mean you have to give them unrestrained access.
If they don't use some traffic shaping software to slow down the P2P traffic I'd be suprised. It sounds like they've thought out the design well enough that P2P traffic shouldn't come as a suprise.
Change the update machines, new names, etc etc. MS is resorting to smoke and mirror tricks. It will only fool the current worms, not future ones that will have the new machine names in them.

Kazaa?
Ah yes, it's been years since I've thought of comics; Archie & Jughead, Betty & Veronica, Darl McBride & the Goatse.cx guy...
The P2P effect. Music, video and books are all "on demand" via this outlet. They better act fast if they want to keep any sort of business model.
This would be fantastic for a game such as the 1984 classic Marble Madness

Congratulations, come up and take a bow.
Not entirely true: perl, php, etc, aren't copies of anything else that I can think of.

That is *exactly* what I cut and pasted from Mutt. Want the complete headers? I'll gladly paste them for you, AC.

It's also heartening to see every prison rape joke getting a +5, Funny. Thank you, moderators. Great way to get karma.
Funny moderation doesn't affect karma, it's in the FAQ. Note that being moderated Funny doesn't help your karma. You have to be smart, not just a smart-ass. Too bad as prison-rape jokes are funny.

Yeah, I hate it when I have to put off buying Ferraris.

I hope they fired the guy that wrote the firmware for the routers..
They did, he's working at Microsoft now.
