I throw 20 people and their laptops into a room. With zeroconf they all automatically notice each other, sort out what IPs they're each going to use, offer their printers to each other (as defined by policy), and magically become a network of machines.
In dumb speak, it just works. DHCP is much better for an organised network, this is much better for an ad-hoc one.
Bastards aren't they for installing gcj. In a manner that means you can actually try and use it. And documentation on how to install java from sun. The gits even use the alternatives system so you can flick between your multiple jre/jdks at leisure. Bastards. I just don't know what they were thinking.
No port blocking? Even assuming they're JIPS enabled by default which I'd be surprised by, I'd like to see you try port 25...
Also, whatever you think, student halls have been a decent sized problem that's taken a lot of network probing and monitoring to keep hold of. There have been some substantial botnets formed from student machines.
The web page in itself isn't exactly radical is it? All it means is that an unregistered MAC gets a local IP, throw in a DNS server that resolves all addresses to a single IP, a web server that gives you the login page, and throws the results back at the DHCP server to update the records.
Job's a goodun if you're not fussed about people spoofing MAC addresses, but then you've not really got a decent option other than a VPN for all to avoid that.
The definition I've seen of Cold Fusion is "the name for any nuclear fusion reaction that may occur well below the temperature required for thermonuclear reactions (millions of degrees Celsius)"
Sonoluminescence was one of the holy grails of cold fusion that had a rough ride, yet that proposed that the collapsing bubble *did* accelerate the deuterium, and I've yet to be convinced by any that don't claim to accelerate the particles in some way.
I think the OS *should* support hard linking though. If I really want to organise my files that way, so be it. Same way I'd rather windows defaulted to symbolic linking rather than shortcuts.
A recent report showed that there were audible artefacts heard in the pilots headset as a result of mobile phones. I figure this was the normal beepity-beep type noises people are familiar with picking up on radios and the like.
The conclusion I read was that while this wasn't exactly massive, if it happened during critical phases such as landing, it had the potential to increase pilot workload by garbling a transmission. Any increase in stress/workload during critical phases is ill advised.
A near miss isn't a collision, it's a miss, that was close. Not even necessarily as close as you might think, it just means that the minimum separation distances have not been maintained.
Unless it's not of course. It could quite reasonably be considered to be 10 or 11. There are some basic assumptions that people tend to make, that aren't necessarily true.
I don't quite get what they're saying. Fifth Gear is a very real, very on air motor show, with the half of the Top Gear crew who left when it all changed. Looking at the list of clips I've even seen half of them on TV.
The extra colour depth is/relatively/ unimportant. HDRI is significantly using radiosity to calculate the lighting values, which is dog slow and hideously complicated as light can be transferred from surface to surface around the scene. Think of it as an alternative to raytacing (with nice soft shadows and the like with no tricks), not an alternative to Phong/Gouraud and friends.
Have you never used a firewall? Think filtered not blocked. Configure it such that it'll only allow packets from the backup server to that port. Bingo, job's a goodun.
You're assuming that you have an institutional firewall, but nothing on individual machines. It's not unreasonable to suggest it could be sane to run system firewalls that restrict port access. It's still not sensible having that as the only security on the port though.
Yeah come on. If you mean the Tony Martin case it wasn't a rifle it was a shotgun, he is thought to have lied about where he shot the burglar (claiming it was inside on the stairs, but more likely was outside I think), and had in fact shot the kid in the back while he was running away.
British law allows reasonable force, which doesn't specifically exclude killing him. Almost all the cases brought to court by the police, and thus the CPS have been thrown out. Recent advice to the police is the stop taking these cases to court unless it's clear that an offence has been committed.
Livna produce rpms to make your life easy. At the moment I can see FC2 RPMS and I presume FC3 RPMS will appear in good time. They've been surprisingly slow at populating the FC3 tree.
If you're getting unreasonable demands then someone needs to back up your reasonable position. You can't do things like let the security lapse to prove a point. If you need a certain level of access control, then maintain it.
If you receive undue complaints from Professors, it's not your duty to bow to them, but make sure they're known by your (IT) seniors. If you *are* the IT senior, then you've got to deal with the problem by explaining your position. Agree to as many meetings as they want, but don't back down unless you decide they've got a point.
But do accept that they might have a point. You can degrade a system's usablity by making it secure. I know some people would say that there's no such thing as over secure, but...
Troll? Cron and apache are good examples of things that need to be started independently from the user. What if you don't login at all? Do you really not want cron/apache running?
Seeing as you're educated in making presentations in PDF format, I wonder if you could expand on them making poor slideshows. You can embed all sorts of media, you can have page transitions, links to other pages. Just look at tools like prosper (http://prosper.sourceforge.net/), which make very servicable slideshows with very little effort.
If we've only got to do 3 it's easy. Buy one card. Matrox Parhelia isn't bad for this sort of thing, or they do a range of quad display cards that lack even that much 3D horsepower.
If only that were true, it would be a good point. As an owner of a 1.0 Half life CD, I can tell you it installs just fine without an update, since I didn't have an internet connection when I bought it.

If only that were true. A GeForce2 GTS will thrash a GeForce4MX. They are however highly available PCI graphics cards.
I believe scp root@server:'"~/music/The Crystal Method - Vegas/"'* ./
does what you want

I thought there was a standard one involving lots of USB keyboards and mice. I use it here on a machine with four keyboard/mouse/screen combos.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 50"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"

Then just setup your ServerLayouts/Screens as you want.

Were you being a pedantic linguist, you would be right, but a 'near miss' is a standard term in aviation.

Which is why it was poor that it was the only security measure; I wasn't defending their 'solution', but it's at least a barrier of sorts...
