I fail to understand how his race or that of his former housemates' had anything to do with it. Please explain. And -- how did the investigators know the race of the people who broke into the Valve systems?
Looking at it another way, why did the FBI let him go? If they were likely to find something incriminating on his machines, they'd want to arrest him, right?
The scanned documents list an FBI (or is it SS?) agent's name, and a judge's name. You can look them up online -- I understand that the judge really does exist and lives/works somewhere in Bay Area.
I doubt that they'd be happy seeing their name on a fake search warrant. That's the type of stuff that gets you thrown in jail.
Both take 30-odd graduates on each year and start them off working in COBOL.
What's the retention rate? 30+ employees a year for just financial programming seems a bit excessive (but then, I don't know that sector of the industry very well).
But the uniformity of the syntax of lisp (actually VERY traditional, going back to 1958...) is one of its major advantages.
I agree that Lisp's syntax makes many things easy -- stuff that can't be done as elegantly in other languages -- but it's not that old. Google for "M-Expressions"; example links: here and here.

That's a bit of an exaggeration -- the uncompressed image, sources, and changes file come to about 30MB, and the vm weighs in at under 1MB on my FreeBSD box. It still defaults to about 48MB RAM for the default heap size. That's still way less than, say, the 1.4.1 JDK (which is over 40MB in size, compressed).
I don't know about VAST, but Cincom's Linux VisualWorks used to work fine on FreeBSD (possibly also NetBSD).
I've been using freenet6 for a bout a year now. I've never had any problems with it, and I get a/48 for free, so I've been able to experiment with IPv6 on various machines on my network (FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and XP).
I haven't written any IPv6 apps yet -- still need to read/buy a good programming guide.
Oh, also. I've caught people using http redirectors. You run an app on your desktop that acts like a socks or http proxy. It encodes tcp traffic in http headers, sends it out to a site that demangles the packets and forwards them on.
There are a few commercial companies providing this support, and pretty much everyone can set up their own tunnel. While it's not that hard to track down the commercial stuff, I'm not sure how you'd defeat the guy running a proxy redirector on his DSL'd box at home. The latter hasn't been a problem for my workplace...yet.
Block port 1863 (tcp) at the router/nat box/whatever.
On your web proxies (if you have them), block HTTP messages with the mime type "application/x-msn-messenger" and turn off HTTP CONNECT support for port 1863.
People at id said Microsoft was offering them money if they didn't release the PC version of Doom III until the Xbox version was complete. Maybe id's accepted their offer...
Quake 4 is based on Doom iii's engine. Doom III supposedly focuses primarily on singleplayer with very limited mp support (4 players max or something is the figure I read in an interview).
Of course, they could release a Doom II mp add-on which ends up being incorporated in the Quake 4 base game.
Except that there already *are* projects that do what WASTE does. Maybe they don't do everything WASTE does -- they encrypt all transactions and do just file-sharing/browsing, but not IM, or they encrypt file transfers and IM but don't do browsing, but such projects do exist.
p2p is much more than gnutella and kazaa and stuff; there are over a hundred different p2p projects out there.

If you have an access point, don't leave it open. If someone abuses it, The Man will come down on you because your IP address was involved.

Oh, right. Duh. I missed the "controllers" word. Nevermind.
Being a suspect doesn't mean you're guilty.

Would he really have posted about it (and brought more attention to himself) if he had stolen HL2?
They went after storage devices. The Xbox has a hard drive, as does his Tivo.

Heh. I was wondering why the textbox wasn't wrapping "about" for me. Now I know...

I work for a company that does outsourced software development. A high percentage of the staff are Java/C++ developers.

Turn off SOCKS for port 1863, too.

A lot of FreeBSD development occurs using Perforce. See for example this and the mailing lists here.
Here's a good comparision of source control systems.

What happened to that case? The web site doesn't have any recent updates.
Install the ymessenger port -- it handles the library issues with a binary patch. Funky, but it works.
This is sort of off-topic, but I don't see "sxe.com" as necessarily being typo-squatting.
sxe = sexy!

The link that I provided lists this module as being part of Debian Woody. Are you sure?
I have two Woody machines. I'm quite sure.
Didn't you list 'reboot' as one of the requirements?
No. You can set up everything without a reboot; it just simplifies the task.
On RedHat 9 for example, to enable IPv6 all you do is type "modprobe ipv6' as root.
That loads the kernel code, that doesn't autoconfig the interfaces. And, fwiw, I don't get that module out of the box with Debian Woody.
Can I do a net install over IPv6? (I don't use RedHat).
Rebooting is NOT required.
It isn't required for FreeBSD, either.
