I use a 3d file system browser (fsv) and I find the different view leads to insights.
using 2d & 3d space to represent sizes of directories & files helps you see what's going on at a glance without having to drill down all your directories etc.
I will be emailing them and telling them that their details are now ours and giving them the option to not get emailed by us again and a url for our ToC.
I might give them the option to have their db entry removed or I might not, I'm undecided but I'm paying good money for those details and the more entries we have the more likely someone will pay us to search it.
The worst that can happen is that person is offered a job so I don't feel guilty. I believe in our service. I would hope many businesses believe they are offering something to truly benefit the client.

as far as i understand it (it was in the execllent "Predators" series on the bbc a couple of weeks ago) the ants are not as auto as that.
This was for Army Ants :
They lay a trail on the outgoing journey.
Each day the ants leave in a different direction to yesterday, covering about a 45 degree arc. and differing in direction about 135 degrees every day so they don't go near yesterdays trails but eventually cover the whole 360 degrees.
Once complete they move on and choose a different starting location.
The tv show did en excellent graphic of what was happening.
They do indeed lay a different trail when returning with food.
The behaviour is more complex than just rules #1 & #2
All very well but I would suspect that for this to become effectove the packets execute code along their path.
The 'intelligent agent' was supposed to do this too (searching for you while you're not online).
There will be a flip side to it (there always is).
my wild speculation suggests rogue ants laying false trails, viruses tricking the packets into laying false trails, etc. etc.
Also for the internet the bandwidth isn't common property. Peering partners would end up playing prisoner's dilema with "should I make their packets take worse routes from our packets".
well ok but saying it's the best option is fantasy

OpenBSD/Linux does offer more configurability such as early warning of / banning port scanners and the like.
unless you are doing something particularly esoteric with your firewall rules the linksys will see you right (hehe unless someone can own me and no-one told us yet).
I recommend the Linksys to anyone I meet who has digital access to the net. esp. 24/7 (other units are probably as good - I just haven't had any need to look elsewhere).
You NEED a firewall (except it lulls you I suppose, if anyone gets through it then they are up against the might of nfs & smb and can send as many emails as they like with my mailserver
Warner Home Video have announced the release of three volumes of the classic BBC sci-fi series Dr Who, all due for release on 11th September 2001. - First is Doctor Who: The Robots Of Death
Hmm, i think you're kind of right.
I see programmers working on web sites and the like who just want to see rid of the project as quickly as possible esp. if it's over deadline.
QA should be a buffer between those who want it finished now an those who want it finished well. Catching bugs now is cheaper than fixing faults later. And if the collected data is bad that may be costing your client money which may be your company's liability.
Programmers may well know the quality of the product but don't discount the "no-one will ever notice" attitude or "I'll telnet in AFTER the deadline and fix that" that get's forgotten.
Work-a-day programmers might not care, I've met plenty of them in my time, or might not know I've met plenty of them too.
The solution to the original poster's dilemma?
Well people will say that programming is as creatively akin to DaVinci. Sure, some of it is, but most code is plain old painting and decorating.
business wanted Internet2 well it's probably about time WE made it.
Get your 802.11b kit quick while you still can and let's get it going.
Spread that 11mb around and with some aggregating we should be able to make a newtwork where ANYONE can connect, not just 'approved' equipment.
Once we wean ourselves away from their network we'll be back in BBS 37337 utopia again and it will be like 'the September that Never Happened'.

The point of an auction in the UK is for a property holder to launder any possibly stolen items.
One must publicly state an auction is taking place and if you think any of your stolen property is there you go down and claim it. Any goods not claimed are now 'cleaned' of their 'stolen goods' status.
Which is why every so often the cops auction off unidentified swag they have collected from burglars etc.
I'm sure that more complicated copyright issues are not cleaned is this way but doctrine of first sale would apply.

'cept for app support
the usual annoying problem
if you kept it inferno no doubt you can keep all the telephony gubbins going and add more apps that you need.
Inferno'll do tk & limbo out of the box
If you need to customize it use the tools that fit, not batter it with the linux hammer.
Slashdot Mirror
that sounds pretty interesting, what apps do you use for that?
i have a better solution
get 2 floppies
make freebsd kernel & mfsroot disks from www.freebsd.org
reboot your machine
install freebsd
simple, no more lame attacks from IIS machines

It's heartbreaking. Fingers crossed it's getting stabler by the checkin.
onf of our competitors went pop recently,
we've bought their database (60,000 ppl)
I will be emailing them and telling them that their details are now ours and giving them the option to not get emailed by us again and a url for our ToC.

that's my criticism ne way
no, they just kill everything in their path that they can, chop it up and eat it.

old pcs are noisy, big and unreliable
AND you've got to buy a switch!
for £150 get the linksys, 253 dhcp, NAT, DMZ, port forwarding AND it's a 4 port 10/100 switch
jeeps for £125 you can get a 802.11b one!
so DoS your competitors by sending them a flood of letters
or
put the wind up them by send speculative letters - "we're developing a water powered car, do you have any patents that cover this area?"
Warner Home Video have announced the release of three volumes of the classic BBC sci-fi series Dr Who, all due for release on 11th September 2001. - First is Doctor Who: The Robots Of Death
my insight would be do it right
write some code that creates the tables
etc.
your db won't become innefficient but your use of disk space will, that is all.
