Just log to a remote machine using syslog. Most people do this anyhow. That way if the firewall is compromised the logs are less likely to be altered and cover that compromise.
news.com has a story about this as well. There's says a little more about why it's different than a laptop. It's meant to convert from a laptop to a handheld to a desktop at will.
If you want a good X10 interface, just get a Philips Pronto or other high end remote control. They're pretty similar to this, but wireless and rechargable. And they'll send infrared to your home theater.
I can certainly understand their desire to get a more solid revenue stream going. All the MK games were huge, I know I personally put probably $2000 or so in MK3, and I know of at least a dozen more people who did the same. Wavenet was fun, but the cost was just nuts. I'm sure the leased lines were pricy, especially because that was a while before the internet explosion. I wonder if the econmics will work out better now, with T-1s going for a fractions of what they used to..
Didn't anyone ever play MK3 with Midway's WaveNet service? It was about $2 a play, and I only knew of about a half dozen arcades that had it. All the ones I know of are in Chicago, where Midway is based and tests their products. It could be that it never got out of testing, but it worked pretty well. The only thing missing was real time voice chat for trash talking your remote opponent.
Golden Tee and others upload scores on a nightly basis as well.. I also saw some driving game recently (Rush 2012?) that let's you enter an account name and PIN to save your progress/unlocking of tracks/etc to a master database, accessible from any other location.
This is definitely cool stuff, but I honestly don't see why it's necessary. Playing MK3 against someone in another arcade was a great novelty, but in reality I'd rather pay half the price and play a friend of mine, who I can talk trash to and make fune of when I w00p his arse.
LAN games (ala Battletech, D&D, etc.) can definitely add a lot to the experience, but I don't see a real need for WAN gaming at this point.. unless they start making massively multiplayer arcade games.
I beg to differ.
Stateful firewalling has been available under linux. Maybe not out of the box, but Checkpoint's FW-1 will run on linux and is indeed stateful.
Maybe you meant to say that stateful firewalling was unavailable under linux for FREE, but that's not to say it wasn't available.
So, the guy who allegedly wrote this letter is CEO of a major corporation and he can't properly capitilize 'I've?'
I'm not sure if this makes a statement about the authenticity of the letter, his attention to detail, or the state of Linux spell/grammar checking. Maybe none of the above.
Most of the people I see ripping on Exchange are talking about 4.0, 5.0, etc. Even 5.5 is better than these, but I haven't seen any mention of Exchange 2000. I know the community here is pretty *nix centric, and the knee jerk reaction is usually 'Microsoft bad!' but Exchange 5.5 is solid, and 2000 is much better. Sure there's outlook security problems, but if you block VBS files attachments and run a decent virus scanner you shouldn't have much trouble with these. The only problems I see with viruses on my 3500+ user exchange organization are in the hour or two between the time the virus hits and when there's new definitions available. I think the features Exchange brings the the table (calendar, task management, contact sharing, 3rd party and inhouse groupware) more than make up for this small point. As for hardware requirements, it sounds to me like people here just aren't configuring their boxes right. Exchange really likes to have the logs and database on seperate drive arrays, things like that. You can't expect to just install the software and have it work, but if you take the time to tune it, it can really scream. Probably not as fast as a *nix system, but it'll give you some nice features that you can't easily get on other systems. Also, there's the fact that a good deal of people we hire are already familiar with Outlook/Exchange. There's something to be said for that too.
... are much more than just downloading program guide data. In fact, most of the TiVo hacking community is against that, because it would probably bring retribution from TiVo.
In my mind, the most useful feature to gain from an Ethernet card is an easy way to connect to my TiVo from the internet. It'd be great if I could schedule recordings from the office, handheld device, etc. I don't know how many times I've been at lunch talking about something that's coming up on TV and realized I forgot to set the TiVo to record it. If we can get even a PPP connection on the tivo, it should be a trivial matter to write code that'll accept commands and setup recordings based on those commands. Front end it with a web server and instant remote access to my TiVo!
Aside from that, this could be tremendously useful for any other potential TiVo hackers who want quick and easy access to the shell (the console port is quite slow). Even without getting listings through broadband, there's some applications for this, and I'm sure there are several more I'm not even thinking of..
Hello Iridium Satellite. Hello Iridium Satellite. Have you heard about the website called slashdot.org? No. I learned that most Satellites burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Ahhhh! The Atmosphere! Ahhhh!! Ahhhhhhh! The Atmosphere!
Think about what you are saying here.. Basically if any corporation were to take offense to some sort of information, they could summons you and you would be compelled to remove the link? Wow.. there goes a good portion of slashdot's stories.

The strange thing to me is that the only difference is their color, and you can only see the color on the internet or on the TV commercials. How the hell are you supposed to know what it really looks like? I mean, what if you have the tint on your monitor all our of whack?
"By email: jkweston@microsoft.com" Scary.. I'm afraid to think what his inbox will look like tomorrow morning. I think I'll add this to my outlook contacts, so the next time I get a virus like 'ILOVEYOU' Mr. Weston can see just how much Microsoft's security model works.
Then maybe the 'News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters' moniker should be changed to read 'Discussion on stuff that was news recently, but now doesn't matter' Still, I see your point.
Um, Excuse me, but isn't this a bit late? The.plan update was in the middle of the day yesterday, and bluesnews.com ran a story about it around then too. Slashdot seems to really be dropping the ball on news a lot lately.
Funny you say that.. I happen to Live in Chicago. As many other chicagoans might, I recognized the store in the movie as Reckless Records, a real operating record store here in chicago. It's not a set, but a store speciailizing in harder to find punk/ska/industrial type music. Definitely not the type of stuff Wal-Mart would carry.. not N-Sync here!

here is the right link. Sorry about that.

Now I can easily move my storm troopers and GI Joe's into battle without risk of a human pilot falling into harms way!
So, who was the genius who decided on 35 domains for 2000 users? Poor design is poor design, regardless of the platform.

Am I missing something, or did no one mention Amsterdam? I don't know of any country in the world where peoople are more truly free.
