When you're thinking about a geek HOUSE, wiring is probably the most important (and sometimes frustrating) concern. I used this link when I was helping out a friend... and we were both pretty clueless when it came to how to start. Tons of links on this page and it really helped us out... hope it does the same for you.

By the way... for the time being, I'd stay away from wireless networks. We tried that at the beginning and it was just a mess of problems... interference, poor response time, dropped packets...
Most interactive audio/visual activities increase concentration. That's why pilots don't just read about how to fly a plane, they go into flight simulators.
What's that saying about you tell me, I remember 10%, you show me, I remember 30%, etc?
No, it shouldn't. Before I joined the army (when I was 18) I successfully gave blood three times. When I was in basic training, they had a blood drive and I volunteered to donate again. Well, I stopped bleeding. Every time I've tried since then, I've stopped halfway through. Maybe my blood pressure is too low to pump blood.:P
Anyone else had a bad experience with slow blood flow during a donation? They ever use that roller deal on the tubing to try and suck blood out of your arm? That thing HURTS.
I think the article was trying to cast an ominous overtone about someone adding code. Backdoors, trojans, a time-released virus or something to that effect. Of course, it's just as easy to sabotage code for Windows or MacOS as it is for Linux.
I don't think this is FUD so much as it is ignorant reporting.
1) Cook data container (floppy disk, cd-rom, hd, etc) in microwave/oven for 20 minutes @ 400 degrees. 2) Take container and pour into vat of hydrochloric acid (good enough for government work!). Let sit for 24 hours. 3) Pour the new solution into 10 different beakers. 4) Take beakers to 10 different landfills and fling 1 per location into rubble.
Of course, this is a bit of overkill, but how else are you going to keep your forensic data recovery specialist girlfriend from finding your jpegs of Natalie Portman?
It would be ludicrous to outlaw a file format. That would be like a ruling that no one can make/own.AVIs because you can watch copyrighted movies in that format. Or that.EXEs are illegal because they can contain dirty h4x0r code and cause catastrophic loss of corporate money.
Then again, we are talking about the American judicial system. *knocks on wood*
The ability to trade audio files that are in the public domain. The problem is that less than one percent of the files available at any given time on Napster fall into this category.
And honestly, do you think the kid that wrote the software was thinking "Wow! I can trade John Philip Sousa songs with my friends!" when he started it? I kind of doubt it.
Once again Jon Katz has delivered a 5k rhetoric that he is unwilling to back up.
Once and for all, Jon: if you are for freedom and privacy, let me post the text of every book you've written to the web and allow it to be viewed and downloaded.
If you are unwilling to do this, you have no right to vilify Metallica for trying to protect what is rightfully theirs.

If they were buying good reviews, I'm pretty sure they could find a better place to spend their money than Voodoo Extreme.
Like O, the Oprah magazine. At least people actually read that.

which will protect us from all those ballistic missiles that foreign nations don't have and would be silly to use
Michael, are you naive enough to believe that NO foreign country has, or is in the process of developing, ICBMs?
Wouldn't most people say that Saddam Hussein was "silly" for attacking Kuwait when he knew he'd have half the world kicking his ass?
I get kind of nervous when I think about nutjobs running countries that might shoot missiles at us. But maybe that's just me.

... had to be the Wang commercial with the helicopter. Mainly because their company was called "Wang".
Which helicopter was it, anyway? Airwolf or Blue Thunder?

Yes, but I was quoting a track off of a Goldfinger album. So please eat the crap out of my ass with a straw.

It should be compulsory to donate blood!
:P
No, it shouldn't. Before I joined the army (when I was 18) I successfully gave blood three times. When I was in basic training, they had a blood drive and I volunteered to donate again. Well, I stopped bleeding. Every time I've tried since then, I've stopped halfway through. Maybe my blood pressure is too low to pump blood.

And if you're going to argue that it gives more publicity to BSD and Daemonnews...
Not to mention the fact that hardly anyone ever seems to look at articles that are just posted in the BSD section and not on the main page.

I would like to suggest that Apple has become another part of Microsoft's evil empire... as has Nintendo. Consider the following:
1) Leaked information about Nintendo's next console system being called "Star Cube".
2) These photos of Apple's new cubic G4 design.
All obvious signs that The Microsoft Borg has its fingers in everything.

Data destruction in four easy steps:
1) Cook data container (floppy disk, cd-rom, hd, etc) in microwave/oven for 20 minutes @ 400 degrees.
2) Take container and pour into vat of hydrochloric acid (good enough for government work!). Let sit for 24 hours.
3) Pour the new solution into 10 different beakers.
4) Take beakers to 10 different landfills and fling 1 per location into rubble.
