If you're looking at IPCop, you're looking back several years, at an unstable kernel and unmaintained packaging....the newer, modernish flavour is www.ipfire.org [ipfire.org].
You are correct, he is not the government...but he was CT's Attorney General for 20 years, and has long championed consumer rights and technology . So, him picking this battle as a freshman senator is technically accurate, but it does not reflect his multi-decade experience in the arena.
...and the purple and green plugs indicative of PS/2 architecture...now I can break out that ol' IBM XT keyboard with the clickety-clack function and really turn back the hands of time.
+5 Interesting? Repairing? Those are units that are over 30 years old, and are approaching end of life. Considering the amount of work that goes into decommissioning a nuclear power plant, burying "the whole damn thing in concrete" is an idiotic solution to a devastating emergency. If it was that simple, wouldn't they bury all the old nuclear reactors in concrete all over the world? Even the ones that lived accident free lives, and are newer, take decades to decommission and break down, and recover.
I'm disappointed in the +5, but then again, this is/.
This brian has not seen the video, as it becomes immediately apparent that the perspective places the object going away from the viewers, and not travelling towards.
It appears to be in the shape of Bob's Big Boy, sir.
his name is The Plague, and you need to know how to ride a skateboard, wear a trench coat, and to bang Lorraine Bracco.
Nothing from this state would suprise me.

As a manager at a recreation center in CT (name withheld because corporate lawyer nazis from our Ontario home office love negative comments!), this bill directly targets some of our games, it sucks...parents should allow kids to play or not play, not some bill passed by people who are 50 or 60 years removed from the kids age.
According to our corporate compliance officer , it's a US $1000 fine for any children to play games such as Maximum Force (the area 51 spinoff), Dark Sillhouete - Silent Scope 2 (the badass sniper game), Time Crisis (1 and 2), and Area 51 (which is a funny game, because the story line has you shooting at aliens inhabiting human bodies-technically legal by this godforsaken bill)
The skinny on this bill is that it was originally proposed by Sen. Joe Liebermann, and that it was over two years old but it was parlayed to death...funny how it gets reborn after a failed white house run. One benefit to entertainment in CT is that it's not taxed formally by the state government, but now...it's getting regulated and is a fineable offence to have certain types of games in my building. I guess if the gov't isn't gonna tax us for fun, they might as well remove the TWO MOST SUCCESSFUL games from my building in hopes of preventing some kid from pointing a blue plastic handgun at someother kid and then going home and boresighing his grandfather's World War 2 Luger at his friends forehead. only in CT.
I think that the open source community would see that obese & outdated code and would rip it apart, it might be the best thing that could ever happen to Windoze. I heard offhand that there are something like 30 million lines of code in Win2k, my guess is the opensource community could take a hefty chunk out of that...finally. Then you could finally RUN windoze, instead of walking it at a slow pace.

Congratulations, you want to seize control of your own computer, to send non-emergency mass-alerts ... to yourself.
