Simple as that. If they are damaging the network then they are a threat to the network and even if they buy a super fast machine to compensate... yippee fucking do.
Anything that damages the network as a whole must be blocked. Revoke their DHCP access, or something similar (I don't know how the network is routed, so I can't give a more detailed answer.)
When they learn to not get infected, then they can use the network again. It is that simple.
However, if you are in a position where you cannot do this (then I would walk away personally...) then look into using something like Hogwash (Those guys need some devlopment help BTW (Hint Hint Slashdot community - Hogwash is a wicked project...))
As a Canadian I have to say - "STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR LAWS."
Granted, as the U.S. is our largest trading partner, we have a number of things that are a little "grey" or messed up... For example, if it was not for the U.S. influence we probably would have legalized pot long ago.
I love the minority government we have right now though - our Prime Minister just denied a number of the White Houses requests because there could have been a forced election if he went against the will of the people. I hope it continues this way - bizzare concept I know - the will of the people driving things?
What is really sad is that much of our law is based on the changes that came about in the U.S. oh, about 200 years ago... (And English law as well)
Seriously though, take the salesmans approach (something I learned when doing commissioned sales) the more people you contact the more sales you get.
I just signed up with a ton of online dating services, and got my name out there. After meeting (via email or MSN) about 250 women, I met this one. She is incredibly attractive, and she loves all the same hobbies I do (outdoors, kayaking, hiking etc) and hell, she even likes the "no I will not fix your computer" shirt from thinkgeek. That, and she used to run an Oracle server...
I could not be more pleased - still, I went through about 250 matches before I met her. Give it a shot, it worked for me. (Took about 6 months of searching, still it was all worth it! ):)
A trailer for a DC Comic turned movie that looks good? What? I must be in some bizzaro world...
Seriously though, this trailer looks just awesome... Dare I say it, it looks the way Batman should have been done - just like how Spiderman 1 and 2 were done: Exceptionally well.
To make things even more frozen over in hell, I a Unix geek, now have a girlfriend, and she codes, and she is cute...
Batman looking good, hot coder girlfriend, where did I get these drugs again?
However, what is your conversion ratio? I have similar results on some of the sites I run, but it seems that people visiting from MSN or Yahoo are more likely to purchase products or click on adwords links...
I don't even own a TV - however, I do like the 2005 Dr. Who series. For those of you who do not own a TV line myself, or get a channel that has Dr. Who on it:
Home Theatre Projector lamps are, as you may know insanely expensive. Furthermore, in DLP projectors the light goes throug a RGB color wheel to produce the colors. Would it not be possible to use an array of RGB LED's in the projector set at the frequency of the color wheel? This way you remove the expensive (and very hot) bulb and you remove the moving part - the color wheel.
I saw on this website http://www.emanator.demon.co.uk/bigclive/makendo.h tm that you can also "overdrive" leds - that is increase their brightness if they are on for a very shortened period of time. Thus, you could possibly triple the output of the LED's without causing them damage.
Anyone out there consider this? Does this sound like a worthwhile DLP projector hack?
Velvet Acid Christ is great, I have not heard Hanzel und Gretyl yet - I will look them up.
IMO, the best Ministry album came out in 1988, which is often credited as the first industrial album, or at least, Ministry was the first industrial group. (Ministry started in 1981, but did not really become industrial until "Twitch" (1986), however, that album is barely industrial, and really just a little "electronic".)
The Land of Rape and Honey is really where Ministry took off, it is a great piece of work. The album after that, The Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste is an excellent work as well.
If you dont have those two albums by Ministry, you are missing out on their best stuff. Some of the newer albums are good, but the Middle albums (Not including Skidoo23:Psalm 69) are not so great, but his style has come full circle with his latest release.
I got Land of Rape and Honey when it came out in 88. Ironically, I got it because a friend borrowed a cassette from a Ministry fan, and brought it to me with the words: "Listen to this track - this is the worst music I have ever heard."
It was of course the first industrial I had ever heard, and I ran out and bought the album!
He brought industrial music (or something like this) into the main stream.
I would argue that Ministry did this before NIN (while Trent and Al work closely together on multiple projects...)
Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hotrod" single (1991) was the biggest selling single in the year of it's release. This is long before Closer (off of The Downward Spiral - 1994) began to gain momentum with the club crowd.
Having said all that, both NIN and MINISTRY rock. If you like their music though - check out some others: :Wumpscut: Rammstein KMFDM Front Line Assembly Skinny Puppy Funker Vogt Front 242
There's an extremist fringe of Linux loonies who hang out on forums and are disrespectful and threatening because you disagree with them...That can hurt the Linux community.
He is probably reffering to electron drift. While an individual electron may move slowly within a wire, the impulse it creates to displace further electrons along said wire is fast.
Having worked Tech support I can agree. However, it can suck from the other end too.
A few years ago I noticed that the cable modem node in my area was dropping packets. I ssh'd into one of my work machines, and a few other boxes around the province. I managed to determine that out of the 4 nodes in my town, only mine was dropping packets, it had been doing so for 3 days, and nothing had been done.
I phoned the cable company to alert them to this problem:
Me: Hi, your node in (my area information) is dropping 30 percent of it's packets. Tech: Can I have your account information? Me: I give him information. Tech: Can you access the internet? Me: Yes, I am just calling to inform you that the node in my area is misbehaving. Tech: What version of windows are you running? Me: What? I am not running windows, I am running Linux. Tech: Oh, I can't give you support for linux, I am afraid I cannot help you with your internet issues. Me: My system is working fine, I want your to tell the admins in your section that the node in my area is MALFUNCTIONING. Tech: Everything seems to be working fine here. Me: No, my node has 30% packet loss. Tech: How do you know this? Me: Because I am using tools under various Linux machines to check... Tech: We don't support Linux... Me: I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO!!! I PHONED TO TELL YOUR COMPANY THAT ONE OF THEIR DEVICES IS BROKEN! MY COMPUTER IS JUST FINE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Tech: Oh... Oh... So you need second tier support? Me: Yes. --- Get to second tier support: "Your node at place X is broken" Second Tier: "You sure?" Me: "Checked with multiple Linux boxes, traceroutes, only this node is dropping packets." Second Tier: "Checking.... Hey, you are right, we will get right on this."
The guy in second tier was a Unix admin. He understood what I wanted just fine. The guy in tier 1 support did not.
Users do not always suck - some of us just communicate differently.
Yes, I see now!

English is changing, and it has always been changing. Languages always do.
For a really dramatic show of the change of English over time, check out the extended edition* of LOTR, specifically the Two Towers. When the funeral for Theodred is being held, Eowyn is singing in old english.
See if you can understand it - it is doubtful you can.
*This may be on the regular version, I don't know for certain as I only have the extended versions.
the only difference being: we do not sell the food, we are the food.
Highly Unlikely - here is why.
There are a number of "metals" and other elements and basic molecules that we require in small amounts in our diets. The reason that we require these small amounts is that during the process of evolution, these impurities (poisions actually) were present in the environment. Lead for example, was not common, therefore, it is a primary poison. However, trace amounts of things that are normally poisionous (i.e. arsenic) are present and required for us to function.
The specific concentrations of these elements would have to match the aliens concentrations closely (that is even assuming that they breathe oxygen instead of say, sulphur dioxide).
Our basic meals would likely be toxic to them - and so would our flesh.
They would not want us for food.
The only likelyhood of us being enslaved for "food" would be by a giant alien pharmaceutical company. Our complex molecules (read, all the complex molecules on the planet) may hold interest for them. However, if they have achived intergalactic travel, they probably have the technology to build any molecule that is physically possible to build as well.
Seriously though, on that topic, (the war) those of you whom are interested should read:
Americas Secret War which lays out the facts surrounding the war on terror, the war in the middle east, and how the war in Iraq is really a power play to control all the Middle Eastern countries and their policies. (No, they conclude, it is not about oil, but about control.)
Quite a good read, even if you don't agree with the conclusions.
