The problem becomes when information is released that requires these pieces.. It is forseeable that soon all mp3's movies, ebooks, etc. will require windows with DRM to work properly.. This is dangerous for linux users, as it controlls the freedom of information.
This sure would run a select statement on a database of all of our info pretty damn fast. but, who would believe we'd ever adopt any kind of national id, you know, like drivers licenses, social security cards, membership cards at grocery stores, etc.
This is the sight for the lawnmower, however, it does not mention connections to the internet. Perhaps it is the base model that the university modified?
if you run your own linux server, just edit/etc/alias with something like: ebay: me then save, and run "newaliases" on the web form for ebay, then type in: ebay@mydomain.net
Create a shared drive on the server, and put peoples names in directories on it. Then, map a drive in Windows to the network share. Even better, if you right click on "My Documents" you can move it to a mapped drive, and under the users directory, and it moves all the data with it. that way, users will think that they are saving to my documents, but instead will be redirecting it onto a single network volume. Then, get a tape drive, (or CD-RW depending on your budget)
Then become the data gestapo and slowly, kindly, patiently drill it into their head to always save things into "My documents." If they ask you to help them with their computer, and you see files that should be in the "My docs" folder, move them there, after they get used to always loading stuff from there, they will get used to saving there too.
The key is patience and Persistence. Practice your waitress smile!;)
HP anounced today the the tablet device will sell for $50. Replacement screens, which are good for 1000 page views can be purchased for $85, or $100 for 1500 page views.
What i'm reading into this is that if a small town of 1000 has their only police officer doing an investigation, he could be forced to fly to tokyo, finland, and south africa to obtain the info. Thats going to kill small town police budgets, and really cause manpower problems, with cops running all over the country instead of driving down the local streets. All because he wants to convict a ebay scam artist in his hometown.
There is the issue of police not issuing as many warrants, but in small towns with small budgets, thats not really a good thing, that lets real criminals go. I think slashdot readers have forgotten that not every person lives in a huge, technology driven megatropolis where the government is out to wrongly persecute its citizens. Not every crime that touches the internet somehow is from those cities either..
I used to work phone tech support for a very large and famous chip company. I supported PC cameras. It was horrible. I had no problem with dealing with the customers, it actually made me feel good to get grandma's camera working so that she could video conference with her grandkids! I worked for a large subcontracting company, and they were the cheapest bastards on earth. My lab machine to do test calls was a P166 with 32MB of ram. (keep in mind i quit just after this last Christmas!) the minimum specs for the camera I was working with was a 266Mhz P2 with 64Mb of ram. Customers had to connect to us over a modem line because the company did not want to open up the correct ports on the firewall to let the connections through.
The worst part though was the subcontracting company's only focus was that we get our average call time under 14 minutes. Sounds like a lot of time, until your walking joe NewUser through his registry deleting keys. All the company seemed to care about was call times. I can't tell you how often (and frustrating) it was to get a customer calling in on their 10th call, all of them right around 15 minutes apiece. To see that the last tech sent them to upgrade their audio drivers, when they obviously had a video problem. When I'd question the other techs, they'd say "I had to get them off the phone, my average call times this month are getting high, and its not likely that they're going to get me again!" I couldn't stand it. Our job was to help customers be happy with their product, at least in my opinion, and the suits were only interested in making a buck.
will this beam your location to only the person you want, or to anyone on that freq? I've used FRS radios for caravaning on long trips, and in big cities, or big events, there is a good chance of other people on the frequency. Does this specify who gets your location, or can anyone on that freq see that quantumRiff is standing in the bathroom??
If I could invent a paper bill that could withstand 50 years of travel, exchange, and (well, let's face it) abuse, that was incredibly rip, tear, and wear resistant, could withstand repeated exposure to water, moisture, solvents, and other environmental nasties, it might not matter as much if the production cost per unit were ten times as much as the face value.
So the obvious solution is gold bulion, but it is very heavy! It would meet all of these requirements though. I mean, they pull it out of shipwrecks that have been at the bottom of the ocean for a few hundred years!
Cisco Has a VOIP system, The AVID system.. phones that plug right into the network, software based phones, call routing, voice mail, unified messaging, the works. We are finishing setting it up at my office, and it really rocks..

I use this mouse in my system. It has an iron monitor(demagnetized) Lead case (has to be nuke proof) and a keyboard made out of stainless steel. Its portable, fits right in the back of a Semi.. and weighing in at 15 tons, it only costs about $12/pound.
Seems like the mouse is a bit excessive, maybe the government needs to look into console only apps..

Just out of curiosity, What happens to the big colocation facilities, like Exodus and Above.net? The power drain for these buildings must be immense, acres of Racks Jammed full of servers.. How much power do they draw compared to others businesses?

In northern Oregon, (portland/salem area) They opted to overlay a new area code over the top of a new one. The fact that many pagers and cell phones have been added to the area was the reasoning. Many people wanted them to add a new area code for pagers/cellphones, but instead they just overlayed the area codes. Instead of dialing a different area code to reach someone on a cell phone, (which would be really easy to remember!!) now my dad has a new area code to dial his friend down the street. Even his two lines in his house have different area codes.
