With his current satellite setup, the "phone line for upload" thing hasn't been true for years unless he's on an ancient plan with ancient equipment. For the same monthly price he can upgrade to the newer 2-way system if that's the issue.
Uh, it's a ballistic weapon, and the ammunition is literally just a blob of metal (preferably heavy). It's not firing missles or any kind of guided munition - its job is to project extreme kinetic energy into a ship/bunker/building/etc, not to take out a moving car or other precise target.
Where do you buy your movies that you rarely see BD titles for over $25? I rarely see them for less than $25, and they're always ~50% more than the regular DVD version.
Season 3 of Lost was $39 is DVD, $58 for BD from Amazon.
The first page of "Action and Adventure" Blu-ray results from Amazon has 4 movies for >$25, 2 for $25, and 6 for under $25. And the next page is even worse. 6 of 12 are over $25.
The case is currently held together by snaps. Those could easily be replaced with 4 screws (worst case) and/or a sliding cover could be integrated in the back cover, taking up roughly 1-2mm x 10mm x 5mm of internal space, or a hinged cover with a slide-out battery. That 3 ways to do it, and I'm not even an engineer. Clearly.
It does A/V in a hardware chip at line speed, and they don't nickle and dime you for the services. Everything just comes with the box without per-seat license fees.
They're also a great company to work with, compared to you Cisco or Juniper sales/SE teams, which in my experience tend to suck.
We use Fortigates throughout our large managed services network.
My 360 doesn't charge my controllers when it's off (which is a big irritant for me). Are you certain yours does? I have to leave mine powered on to charge the controller.
We use Neoteris boxes, but have recently switched a number of our VPN apps to our FortiGate firewalls. The Neoteris are much more mature and have a lot of nice functionality like single sign-on, but the cost and licensing is FAR better on the FortiGate. You can buy an FG-60 for peanuts, and there are no per-user license fees for the SSL VPN function. Has an ActiveX client for full access, or can proxy for web, ftp, telnet, etc.
Built in AV scanning, IDS, etc is nice too.
If you're supporting an enterprise thing with these VPNs, I personally would pick an appliance made for that kind of thing instead of having to maintain software solutions. The lower end boxes are relatively cheap and will probably save you time and potentially improve secutity as well if you're not careful to properly implement your software solution.
Personally, if I don't find what I was looking for on the first page, any maybe on the second, then I entered the wrong search terms. Period. I never click past page 2, and rarely past page 1. I find it a lot more efficient to refine my search based on the unwanted results I get the first time than to plow through endless pages of irrelevant results.
This is dumb. You submitted a story of a mailing list thread started by a cocky newb with an attitude who knows nothing about security or system administration, and who has suggested a scheme to secure a system? And that suggestion has fundamental flaws? And the editors actually accepted it?
And instead they increase rear-end collisions from people slamming on the brakes to avoid tickets when it would otherwise be safer to proceed through the yellow light.
I can't decide what's funnier - the people who don't realize it's an april fools thing, or the people who just barely realize it, to the point where they feel the need to point it out to others.
Oddly enough, I have a DirecTiVo, and a Microsoft Ultimate TV (same as DirecTiVo - dual-tuner PVR, yada yada, also has WebTV or whatever they call it now - never used it). I love the Ultimate TV better than the real-Tivo box. Tivo is slow, the channel guide is slow to display, it doesn't organize recordings by show, and there a number of other quirks that just make the Microsoft box much more pleasant to use. We have the Tivo unit in the bedroom, and although I'm a sworn convert to PVRs, and I like the Tivo box, I wish Ultimate TV weren't defunct now, as I'd rather have a second one of those instead.
So there you go - the Microsoft of PVRs is pretty decent.
DirecTV has great interest in carrying HDTV over the satellites, but the issue is bandwidth. HDTV consumes a huge amount of bandwidth, and there's just not enough spectrum to carry the 1050+ HDTV channels for all 210 DMAs with the existing satellites and technology.

Exactly. Gravity is just an unproven theory. Intelligent Falling is clearly to blame.
I have never read a more poorly written "review" in my life. It's filled with fragments and awkward, halting sentences.
I enjoyed the movie, but thought it was a bit mushy and predictable.

Since actually looking into the product is apparently too much to ask before you spout your opinion...
Tracks are encoded at 256kbps, include album artwork, and the albums are substantially less than the MSRP of the corresponding physical item.
They are at 256kbps from Amazon.

No, it doesn't come with the Nunchuk.

That's what "ctrl-w" is for.
I'd like having the mouse widget close to the object I'm manipulating, thank you.

Ask them what the word "borders" means, and some might get that wrong too.
Apparently.
Microsoft began offering a dividend last year. Pretty paltry, but a dividend nonetheless.
If that's true, I think I see the problem with Linux on the Desktop.
It's a friggin label maker. Jesus. Why is this on NewsForge, much less the front page of Slashdot. Wasn't there a dupe you could have posted instead?

Good job!
No - they can use the Evil Bit. RFC 3514.

Saabs come with these mirrors, as do many other cars in europe, for what it's worth.
They do wonders for blind spots.

Is it the "tie-fighter fly-by" sound that I hear everywhere? Sounds like a high-pitched scream, kidna. It's used *everywhere*.
