That's horseshit! Storage is cheap nowadays. I should be able to plug in a compact flash card also if I need more storage. 200 phone #'s is NOT enough when you realize how inexpensive additional memory is.

It not out of the ordinary for me to spend 16-18 hours a day through the week working on a project. We're not allowed to sleep at work so that adds 1.5 hrs for the commute. I do REQUIRE that the weekends be mine though. After that kind of brain frying, I NEED a break. I want to go out on friday and Saturday nights. If I don't get those nights off, be wary of me come monday morning.:)
reminds me of the shirt I picked up at hot topic last night. Black shirt, white lettering "you laugh because I'm different, I laugh because you're all the same."
CS classes, as well as any non liberal arts classes, should not be designed to be fun. The students are there to learn because they are interested in the subject, not to be entertained.
Also, I'm a big fan of 'weed-out' classes & projects.
I've never experienced any problems w/ DNS. Do you mean it has timeout errors?
As for disk space. We place the cache on its own filesystem. I believe this is a good practice for other programs/daemons also. Squid doesn't interfere with anything else, nothing messes with squid's area.
I believe it is because people don't notice somthing unless there are problems with it. With squid, you can 'set it & forget it'. We use this program extensively throughout our organization.
It's the benefit of blocking out the background noise. Such as a dance club, loud restaurant, etc. It allows you to be more considerate to others around you when you "must" make a phone call.
How about reducing the subscription cost based on your Karma? Or more ad-free visits for moderators who have good meta-moderation levels. Yep, there are still probs with these, but it's worthwhile to think about.
I'm using comcast in NJ. Why must I have a dynamic IP? Why did I receive the answer "If you aren't using our DNS servers, it's impossible to use our internet service?", when I asked why i coudn't run my own DNS? Why are uploads capped? Not everyone just browses all day. Who on the service is getting donwload speeds of 1.5Mb/s? Never see it around here, or from anyone else who i talk to. With all of the "superior cacheing technology" that Comcast controls, why is it that I can frequently make web browsing faster, by using a proxy server outside of you network? I know that if the site I was visiting was close to the proxy network-wise, it could account for some of the speed difference, but it wasn't just a few sites that were faster. Why can I only only have 4-5 concurrent connections to the news server? Why can't use my connection for a server? You keep showing these commercials where families are using a comcast connection to educate themselves. What better way is there for a IT enthusiast to learn about networking than having their own server to experiment with?
I'd also like to see this building where customer satifaction os a priority. It'd be nice f the techs there knew if I can ping by hostname, I shouldn't have to go back and ping again by IP address.
If there are enough complaints, you'll do something? You just said that customers came first. So what you are saying is that, customers are only first if they are in sufficient numbers?
Where'd you get that $40 figure? After comcast started their own network, my rates went up.
To have a windows client appear as an X11, check out Hummingbird's Exceed. Rutgers U had labs full of Windows desktops with Exceed running on them. Worked quite well.
Hopefully the DOS attack you mention would be quickly thwarted. (If your satellite was worthy of gov't help that is) If the attacker was using extra power to block your signal, you could track the signal to it's transmitting atenna. This shouldn't take too long to find.
There's nothing like the adrenaline rush of paintballs flying by you. Forget about having a fullsize bunker in front of you. Someone mentioned it taking too long to come across someone in the woods. Our solution is to limit the playing area. Plus, those flaming blue/green/yellow jerseys of speedball look silly to me.:) As long as it's paintball, it's all fun though.
Most ard wired systems use the phone lineto alert the company watching over your home. Burgulars have noticed this. Look for a provider that has wireless access or look into models that interface to a cell phone. It costs more, but your monitorring can't be lost by cutting a phone line.

Why can't I choose what browser I'd like to use?
But weight is a problem getting into space.
That's not a fair trade. :)

How many nude bathers did the catch and have to reimage or edit?
Maybe you should take this as a hint to start looking for other work. :)

Try this link. It allows for hiding partitions and for encryption.

How do you expect me to learn about topics that interest me, "so I can know a bit about them", if you don't want me to read about it.

probably the same way it reacts to a pace maker.

Great fun and great exercise. Stay away from speedball and keep it in the woods.

Those who can, are admins.
Those who can't admin, are programmers.
Those who can't program, are supervisors.
