I wouldn't be so worried about having to change my proxy settings every day, so much as i'd be worried about some spook coming around and chopping off my hand for using the proxy in the first place.
There's one handed typing, and then there's one handed typing.
most of the restores i've ever done have been because some clueless user has accidentally deleted a file, three weeks ago, and only just realised they need it. if you're continually wiping out your old backups then you're fucked.
don't think "what do i want to backup?" think - "what do i want to be able to restore?"
i've been wanting to build some sort of time travelling cyborg to assasinate my political rivals.
now winning an election would probably be easier, but i'd still like to see if it's possible and reliable. safety isn't really one of my primary concerns.
the only thing lcd monitors have going for them as far as i am concerned is that they are easier to move around than crt monitors. this might be an issue if you're lugging a 21" screen to a lan, and if you're going to a lan you'll probably appreciate the wank factor of an lcd. but i'm not. and dan agrees.

for this reason, (and others) there has been a fork from smoothwall gpl to create a new project called ip cop. you can download a beta.iso from the website. ipcop.org
for me it was a straightforward switch from smoothwall to ipcop. easiest install of any operating system i've ever seen. ipcop supports ext3 (for no extra cost!) which is great for unplanned reboots.
with the draconian restrictions placed on broadband here in australia, ie download limits and volume charging, it has reached the stage where you can actually download more in a month over dial-in than you can over cable. telstra has a 3gig cap. optus has the vague netstats thingy. i guess they're both pushing the quicker, but not more angle.
sure, it would take one hell of a lot of patience to download that much on a modem....
2.5" is a standard notebook size hard drive. most desktop hard drives are 3.5" and desktop cd-roms are 5.25" for comparison. notebook hardrives come in 9.5mm and 12.5mm thicknesses as i recall. you'll need to look elsewhere to find someone to blame for component form factor pseudo-standards.
from the pictures, it looks like they've used an old laptop mainboard design and rejigged it a bit. thus the nonstandard kb/mouse connector and teh use of so-dimm's. be interesting to find the original manufacturer.

What, you mean just like the G5 on the desktop?
The G4's sucked ass. The G5 has finally put them i the same game as other hardware vendors.
no. thanks for asking though!
> Actually, it stands for Mac is A Computer.
which is a distinction that is important to make because they're so easily mistaken for waste paper baskets, fishtanks, or doorstops.
Just about all internet access in Australia goes through Telstra at some point so...
The ARIA should sue Telstra. Bad vs Evil!
isn't this a bit extreme?
no.

One motor.
One battery tray.
One switch.
One power socket.
One LED.
A few wires.
soo... who's going to be the first to get linux running on it?

by employing the latest in smoke and mirrors technology. they've invented a new mirror that reflects 110% of all light. neat huh?
