Same thing exists in upstate New York (Niagara Mohawk). Most power here is supplied by nuclear, although there is some hydro power from Niagara falls. You can buy power from a renewable company (wind, hydro or biomass), however it costs extra. See.
Travel time should not be billed unless they are extremely far away (an hour or more drive) and you make that point clear to them. When you hire a plumber, carpenter, dog trainer or accountant you don't pay them for the time it takes to travel. Nor should you.
Sounds like they're referring to brute force to find the key. You can't really defend against brute force attacks, unless you use a monsterous key (which will eventually become obsolete), change keys quite often, or use a one time pad.

The Supreme Court said the existing law was legal. That does not nullify the ability to repeal. All you need to is pass another law saying "That other law is now overridden" or something to that effect. Heck, we did it with our constitution before (see prohibition).
NetworkICE, the company, was purchased by ISS a few years ago. If BlackICE was ported to Mac, it wouldn't have obvious references to NetworkICE anymore.
As a professional product reviewer myself, here are some hints. 1) Don't hide that you're the guy who submitted the story to slashdot. It's rude, at least in my opinion. 2) MS Word has a grammer checker in it. You may wish to use it. "First impressions were of the clean interface it provided just like Windows XP you start out with a mostly blank desktop." This sentence grammer poor. Slashdot posts, usenet or personal web pages that's acceptable. I am not an English major and do make mistakes. But the quality of this review is plain awful. It looks more like the notes you take before writing the review. Using complete sentences would only take a few more minutes of time. 3) Download size is more informative than download time. The site could of been slow, and not everyone is on DSL. 4) Don't refer to Microsoft Office as just "Office" when talking about OpenOffice in the same paragraph. 5) "The OpenOffice.org office suite included is supposed to be even more compatible with Office documents though I did not really do any testing in that department since Iâ(TM)m focusing on the desktop user" That's something desktop users need to do, especially users switching from Windows. Big oversight. You might also of wanted to mention which version of OO is installed. 6) The paragraph on Red Carpet is unreadable. And why is it sad that users will eventually install 3rd party software? 7) Pricing information? Is XD2 free and how much is the pro? 8) In the 'how to get' section, if you're not suppose to put the periods before the wget, then why are they there? It's also not really the smartest idea to promote wget | sh, but that's just the security guy in me talking. 9) You didn't really say much. There's very little information actually transferred to the reader. It's not the length of the review that matters as much as the content. All that mumbo jumbo is important. And please, don't just list mumbo jumbo features, say if they're good or not. And say what's lacking. Otherwise, I'd just read the press release. 10) All this complaining is criticism of a poor review. If you did not submit this to slashdot yourself, it'd be more forgivable. But since you published it and advertised it via slashdot, it has to hold up to a certain level of professionalism. Next time, if you want to do it half ass, don't purposly show it off. It just makes you look bad in front of a large audience of your peers. 11) Don't include this version of the review in your portfolio. If you try to use this as an example of your work when trying to get a freelance paying review, you'd be turned down right after reading the first sentence. Use the advice posted throughout this thread to not only improve the XD2 review, but future ones as well. Many times editors will want to see example work before giving you a freelance job. If your goal isn't to be paid to write, which I don't see why not as you obviously have a strong passion for writing/reviewing, you can still use these pointers to improve yourself in a business setting.
If you use IPTables on your linux box, you're not going to be doing much. IPTables is just a packet filter, and can't block access to individual applications.
That packetshaper you got, assuming it's what I think it is, is a very advanced beautiful piece of machinery. This stuff is computationally expensive and complex, and has a good and frequently updated collection of signatures. It's money well spent.
Ignore encrypted for a moment. You can disguise stuff inside mail or http traffic. But if you look inside, you may find patterns. Say your HTTP encapsulated gnutella always contain the text string "gnutella-http" in the first 20 bytes. Boom, that's your signature right there. Signatures, of course, are reactionary not proactive. Say someone comes out with the encapsulated gnutella protocols. Your traffic shaping vendor (be it Packeteer, Allot, or the open source guys) does an analysis on this new protocol, discovers some form of a pattern, and makes a new signature. Then you update your traffic shaper's software.
Now encrypted is a different story. It's harder to inspect, as you can't actually look at the traffic data and it's mostly random looking. The most you can do there is try to see message length, frequency of messages, or responses to try and get a pattern.
The same way Antivirus software knows which files are viral. It uses signatures to figure out what the traffic really is. No matter what port it runs on, you can always tell FTP traffic because of the format of the protocol, types of commands, and so forth. Part of the reason people buy commercial packet shapers is for these signatures. You can't do effective traffic shaping at just layer 4, you need to look at layer 7.
You know those little cardboard sleeves that go around coffee cups? Someone invented them. He maxed out his credit cards and was in near povety. Now he sells over 20 million units each year and is living quite comfortably. Same goes for Kevin Smith, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Colin Powell and a whole bunch more than can be listed here. Your attitude, that one will never become rich, is a loser attitude and wrong.
Who has 95%? The top 50%? The top 1%? The top 1% earns 20.81% of all income. The top 5% earns 35.30% of the pie. The top 10% earns 46.01%; the top 25% earns 67.15%, and the top 50% earns 87.01% of all the income. That's according to IRS data. Where's your data coming from? By the way, the starting salary of the top 1% is 293,000. So the top 2-10% earn much less than that. These are not super-rich multimillionaires.
That's because the middle class don't pay enough in taxes to begin with. It's a tax cut, not welfare. You can't have a meaningful, economically stimulating tax cut that goes mostly to the middle class with our current tax setup. Even if you cut the entire middle classes taxes 100%, it wouldn't make a difference.
"Another way of putting it, 50% of the tax relief goes to 95% of americans, the other 50% goes to the top 5% of wage earners....seems fair to...rich assholes"
The top 5% of wage earners paid 56.47% of the federal income tax in 2000. So it seems Bush's tax cut is in proportion. Why do you blanket all rich people as 'rich assholes'? Do you even know the salary range of the top 2-5%?
Before donating money to the EFF, I'd like to know if they did anything effective here, or just put out a press release. What is their win record? People constantly on slashdot say 'give to the EFF', but are they an effective lobby in any way? Or is my money better spent on other lobbying groups?
A whopper has 995mg and medium fries (no salt added) has 380mg. That's 1375mg of sodium. Ragu has 570mg per half cup. You'd need approximately 1.2 cups of sauce to equal out the sodium levels. There's probably lower salt sauces out there.
Making from scratch isn't too expensive. Few onions, clove of garlic, and 2 cans of whole tomatoes. I don't want to do the cost analysis, but I know it's not too expensive as compared to prepared. Maybe $1-2 more.

I am not familiar with that. What is it?
The taxes on businesses just get passed to the consumers anyways.
