I recommend you check out "Home Power". It's a magazine dedicated to off-grid power production (solar, wind etc). It's a good read, very informative, and has a lot of good printed links to various resources.
It's about $4 an issue.
I dodn't work for them, but I love to read that mag.
I moved an ssh port on one of my servers to 1214, which is used by a filesharing program. It cosat me quite a bit of time to figure out why my connection to work was borked. Several hours out of my life I'll never get back.
nmap -O came back with a linux nox filtering many ports.
If I get rolled back a week (or days if it's a weekend, I will find something better to do with my time and decline the charges on my credit card.
I like the game, but not enough to spend a week re-playing. If they do it once, they'll do it again. Replaying the same crap over again to fix something Blizzard could take care of in a patch isn't acceptable to me, and I'll take my $13 and go buy beer.
I got rid of over 300 lbs of functional and non-functional computer parts by giving them away for free. If you put those boxes up for free on craigslist, you'd have 20-30 prospective new owners that wqould come and take it off your hands.
Asking a bunch of strangers on an IT-centric website like Slashdot gets you nothing if you really just want to learn to cook, for instance. But here's my advice:
1.Get a job for 6-12 months doing something you like. This step can be avoided if you have a trust fund or money already saved up. Unless this happens to be your dream job, PLAN TO QUIT in 6-12 MONTHS!
2. Take the money and go outside your comfort zone. Travel outside the US for a few months, preferably in a country that doesn't have English as a primary language. Stay at hostels. Meet people. Experience life. Don't jump right back into the daily grind of the academic world. There's plenty of daily grind waiting for you when you start working full-time.
3. Use the time you've set aside between high school graduation and starting college to figure out what it is that you enjoy. That should narrow your focus enough to start targeting universities and disciplines.
4. Once you know what you want, go get it. Obsession is 9/10's of the law. You won't get to do it right away, so plan on holding a few crappy jobs on the way, so don't stress.
Sounds like a great idea until you add the police link-up. What place does law enforcement have in "checking attendance"? Whatever happened to just reading out thier names in class? How many truant officers will get auto-dispatched if the kids are late? Will Little Johnny graduate with a criminal record as well as a diploma?
If we had these in my school when i was a kid, we'd still skip classes, and just have someone else carry whatever the tag is imbedded in. The classrooms would be more than half-empty and the records would show 100% attendance.
And the results would probably be held up as a successful demonstration of RFID use by some politico: "Attendance was 100% after we installed the system!".
Have no fear though, kids will trash the system. Imagine a backpack of RFID-enabled ID cards coming into a school, getting tossed out a window, coming in and getting scanned again, a spilt Coke in the reader, etc.
I'd put 2GB fibre HBA's in the server(s) and attach an OpenSAN RAID box from Winchester Systems with dual-homed fibre to the array. That'll take care or your bottleneck and help your future scaling requirements.
Yep , sure is. the "md" driver ('man mdadm' will answer all your questions) doesn't care what kind of block device you use. I tried it with raid 0, 1 and 5 using a small HD partition, a usb key and a floppy as block devices.
It worked as you'd expect, the array was as slow as the floppy, the floppy never stopped moving, but it did work.
md is fun when you're bored. I also set up a 4 device RAID 5 on a single drive with 4 partitions to win a bet with a friend who said "you can't do raid 5 on one drive". I got 2 cases of beer out of it and he's still pissed. Chuck that at your favorite MSCE and watch him twitch.
See how long it takes to get fired. You might just get another paycheck out of it. Make sure to bring in a boom box so you can freak out and dance your way out. Wear a tshirt saying something like "^Name$ buggers blind billy goats!" with the goatse pic on the back.
I hate the "bridge" anecdote. People aren't bridges. If they are fuckwits, cut 'em loose, you don't want to work with them again anyway. The real people will outshine those lesser lifeforms that will still be in middle management 10 years from now, while you are out sailing in your new sailboat all summer (personal experience, still doing it). Treasure the gems, flush the feces.
The day I need a database to keep track of my crap is the day I call the dump and rent a 2 ton bin again.
If you haven't touched it in a year or two, ask yourself if you really even need the stuff, and give it away or donate it to a charity for a tax break if you don't.
Personally I just:
Box of sh1t #1: label it cables Box of sh1t #2: label it cards Box of sh1t #3: label it hard drives/etc. Box of sh1t #4: label it "???" Box of sh1t #5: label it "trash" and toss it or sell it on ebay.
By the time I fire up an app amd type in a search string, I would have found it by digging.
If I can go into my local Radio Shack and get the readers for free. What an innovative idea!
Someday an ad exec is going to realize people don't want to see thier damned ads. Of course he'd be instantly torn apart by the pack for showing a clue...
Being a scuba diver, dark and wet is where I take most of my photos.
Reefmaster makes reasonably priced waterproof cameras in digital and film version.
Above that price level, get any good quality film or digital 35mm SLR camera or digital camcorder, and buy a good waterproof case from Ikelite or Light and Motion. These cases aren't cheap ($1000USD+, but are pretty damn rugged.
Slashdot Mirror
it's a cisco network...
check the arp table for a mac address, and trace the mac through the network.
"show mac-address-table | include "
telnet/ssh to the next hop, rinse and repeat until it's on a local port. then go trace the wiring.
No wonder the network admin was scared to give his passwords up if these guys can't even locate a device on the network...

"We think this student might be violent, let's slip an expulsion note under his door."
It should be interesting to see what the setllement amount is going to be.

Actually, that's a common misconception.
What you need is a large amount of *erotic* matter. Initial tests show tight-beam microwave transmissions of alt.binaries.* seems to keep them open.

It looks like a shop project for the folks on the short bus...
Where do I sign up? I'm not going to miss this chance to get a coupon (mailed out in 2007) for 10% off my next printer cartridge purchase!
That extra 3-4 degreess is the closest thing I have to a relationship right now.

Jealousy. :) I wish I had a boob stuffed in my face every time I screamed.
I dropped all my movie channels, get the movies sooner through Netflix and wait a year for the HBO specific shows I like to watch to come out on DVD.
The fact it reduces their profits is just a side benefit. ;)

If they have a phone and I have a phone, I just call the damn person! Only 10 digits to push, and I can communicate via voice.
Looks vaguely humanoid, no intelligence, fills up with hot air... It's not a robot, it's a politician!
Get married. She'll tell you what to do with it all.
