Silly rabbit, you don't actually introduce them to your lawyer, you just have him or her check over the agreement and modify it to your intended result.
Primarily because they suffer from burn-in. How would you like a permanent "Start" button in the lower left or a permanent menu bar from your mac?
On another subject, it's interesting, but the Sony XBR-950 series of Plasma monitors run Linux in their media box (which is a video switch + runs media from a memory stick).
And no, I would not like a beowulf cluster of these, thank you very much.
In the Bell Labs UTS Ninth Edition (V9 Unix) released in 1986, the crypt command was moved to manual section 6, games, along with trek, bridge, boggle, etc. Crypt (the lib in section 3) still existed, however.
If the company shut down in an orderly fashion, the owners/investors of the company own the assets.
If the company shuts down through bankruptcy or other processes such as an ABC where they have not been able to pay their creditors, the creditors own part or all of the assets. Most likely the assets were sold off if they had any value in this case.
That's your first task: find out how they shut down or if they are a going concern. If they shut down in an orderly fashion, they may still exist within the company shell.
So, I'd use the following technique: 1. Search for the company records in your state or local govs website to see who the owner is, or if it is shut down. Contact the owner. 2. If you believe it shut down owing creditors, contact a creditor (or two) to see if they know. They may have records since they may have had to approve any disposition of assets
I think it is really unlikely that "no one" owns the assets.
You too!!!!! I'm not kidding, I waited for that same disk for about 2 months, then finally gave up and went to a blockbuster. The day I did that, it showed up as "Available Now". Unbelievable.
You can already create an encrypted disk (a la PGPDisk) with Disk Copy. Just create a new (blank) disk and choose the AES encryption option. OSX also includes a firewall (supposedly with improved support in Jaguar) and a VPN client for IPSec or PPTP.
There's the Chieftain at 5th and Howard (the Moscone is between 3rd and 4th at Howard). It's not too big, but is comfy. There's also Kate O'Brians between 2nd and 3rd on Howard. It's also small, but a nice place. Both serve Guinness. I'm not too sure about Boddingtons.
Also, of note, is Central Computer between 4th and Howard. It's a good place for parts. There's cheaper online, but when you need that last minute firewire cable or replacement mobo, it can't be beat.
Other good neighborhood bars include Arrow Bar (6th and Market), Pow (an Anime themed bar) at 6th and Mission, Julie's supper Club (retro-styled bar and restaurant) at 7th and Folsom, and for late night revelry the strip at 11th and Folsom (including JWZ's DNA Lounge).
Sure. The key was we had a wise developer who wired every unit with 8 pair of cat 5 cables (plus 12 pair of cat 3). At our first HOA meeting, someone brought up the idea of shared internet and we found that half a dozen people had had the same idea and some had even done research. We just assigned a few volunteers with the following tasks: 1. Helping people wire their units for ethernet. Each unit was expected to pay for materials, but the labour was all donated. 2. Buying a bunch of 10baseT cards on ebay (this was four years ago) to keep costs down. This obviously wouldn't be an issue today. 3. Buying a used switch. Also less of an issue today. 4. Figuring out the Internet service - we had to generally check out business services rather than residential because we needed more IP addresses and less overall restrictions. 5. Using a donated PC to set up a Linux box as the community mail and webserver. This sits in a locked electrical closet in common space.
All in all, for a little shared investment of time and money, we've had spectacular service at less than most people pay for dialup. Only one out of 22 units decided not to go with this option and put in his own DSL (I still don't know why) and we are considering changing this "option" on HOA billing to just be included - a utility like hot water. We've also added new features on since then such as wireless access on one floor and the roof.
One other thing, feedback from both those selling their units and those renting them out has been that high speed internet is a significant selling point, and that the return on our (small) investment has been wonderful. This is a good argument for those who are on the fence, or wouldn't use the service themselves.
Sorry, but this actually *does* work. My condo unit splits a 1.2Mb SDSL between 20 units. That gets our cost down to $20/month/unit. The HOA takes care of billing. We had some upfront costs (installation, purchase of a switch for the basement), and it does take some time of a couple of volunteers (myself and one other) to help the less Internet-savvy folks get hooked up, but all in all, it's a great deal and everyone is very happy.
We do have to police a little about P2P systems, etc, but to date have really had no problem - education when you hook up a new user is the key. Our bandwidth usage is nowhere near capacity, and a number of people are running low-usage websites. Remember, for email and casual web-browsing, 20 users will mean 4-5 at peak, with much of their traffic interleaved. Trust me, it works.
Alton is my guru. He has completely transformed my cooking from "hunt and peck" approaches to an understanding of the processes. Now when I try something new, I'm not just guessing at whether it will work or not.
Oh, and go buy a digital temperature probe. You'll need one.
Also, as hinted by the author, go watch his show. I especially like the one when he shows you how to make a smoker out of a cardboard box.
Check out this whitepaper from CyberSource that describes a good solution for your problem. I'd add to this approach that you should use a keyed hash, and a hardware encryption device for both hashes and encryption/decryption so the keys are not readily available to someone with a login on the machine. I'd recommend Ncipher. Finally, use Tripwire or some such thing to monitor the machines for unauthorized programs that might gain access to both the database and the crypto HW.
Any biometric system worth its salt uses significant "liveness" checks to prove that not only is the fingerprint a match (or % likelihood thereof), but it is actually attached to a real person (and is not a fake appendage).
These include temperature measurements, electric field (around the body) measurements, etc. This is where the real innovation around this field will take place over the next few years - accuracy (of fingerprint recognition) is already pretty good.
You need to pay for the bandwidth one way or another. There are three basic ways: 1. Buy a circuit and pay for the bandwidth yourself (DSL, T1, etc). 2. Rent part of a circuit and (possibly) computer, and pay someone else to host. Most services cap bandwidth or charge directly for bandwidth. You can either go hosted or colocation (their computer or yours). 3. Go on a hosted service that is advertising supported. Everyone I'm aware of caps bandwidth.
The decision should be based on how much you have to spend and how much bandwidth you really need.
As you can see from the above options, there's no free ride - bandwidth costs *someone* and usually those costs are passed down to you.
Of course, I shouldn't preach.... I share a T1 speed SDSL with folks in my building and only pay $20/month;-)
One thing you missed about the Audiotron is that it has web control, either through standard web pages, a skinny version for small devices, or through an API. There are quite a few people developing API clients, including one for a Palm!!
There is a documented approach to storing of sensitive customer information that I think makes a lot of sense. It is brought to you by Cybersource and the SIIA and is available here
What I did was vent at the top of my server room to a cool hallway and that completely fixed the problem I had. However...
You may not have a cool hallway, etc. You also don't tell us how many computers of what type, size of closet, etc. So the best I think anyone can do is recommend the following:
1. If small amounts of computers/periphs and appropriate ability to vent to a cooler area just do that.
2. Try a small cooling unit (even those that are used for small wine cellars). You will again need to vent to another area.
3. If this is not enough, then you've got some major league requirements and you may as well pay for air conditioning. Don't forget to add in a raised floor while you are at it:-)

Your Grandma goes to Lan parties???
This can't be good for the kidneys.... are you sure this is for consumption, and not just for external use?
I am looking forward to the mail plugin, though.
I don't know. Could it possibly include, say, FUD?

OS X does not have DAV over SSL natively. See my article over on Mac OSX Hints for how to set this up with stunnel.

I do agree that OS X is a pig, but disagree that it is the underlying design. Something went terribly wrong in the transition from NextStep to OS X.
My Turbo-Color Slab from NeXT (33Mhz 68030 (040?) IIRC with 32MB of RAM) seems just as zippy as my 400Mhz G4 with 1.5GB of RAM.
Somewhere, Apple/NeXT took a lesson from MicroSoft and I don't like it!
