You could just bring a floppy/cd with you - if the companys security is already so tight that you forbids those, the fact that you can use stuff like digital cameras, mp3 players or usb keyrings to bring in data shouldn't come as a surprise.
One thing you should consider for your antispam filter is spamassassin I recently set it up on a couple of mailboxes via. procmail, but it also sports a site wide daemon.
After a little bit of tweaking I know use it to check for matching mails in the razor spam archive, against ordb.org and it's own check that sees if it matches usual spam criteria like claiming you can be removed from the list, claiming that the mail isn't spam or is in accordance with some US law etc - untill now it has cought every piece of spam I recieved (around 5-10 a day) and I've had no false positives yet.
Yes, amavis works fine in my experience, it does add a little extra load the the mail server (I guess any virus scanner would). I'm using it with qmail and Sophus Sweep, and have stopped lots of sircam mails since installing it.
As amavis really is only a link between your mail server and your virus scanning program, wether it will find a virus depends not on it, but on the anti-virus software.
You're either trolling or just plain wrong, it does actually send the attached documents with it. I repeat: It does send the documents.
Try and do a "strings someattacheddocument.doc.pif" if you're on a *nix box. It'll show some of the stuff in the document. Or use dd or something similar to cut the virus stuff from the doc.
I travel around 125KM to work everyday by train - often I have my laptop running and with my lucent/orinoco wavelan I can pick up around 3-4 wireless lans, without any external antenna.
I only see them for about a second or two, except for the ones that are located near stations where I can connect to them for a few minutes while the train stops.
Now if only the train would go a little slower, with those open wlans I could check my email a couple of times on my way to work:)
In the recent months I've been trying to read everything I can find about loadbalancing large web sites, and google sure does make an interresting example.
My company is in the progress of moving from one big server to several smaller onces, to allow for greater scalability, there is just a limit to how much cpu + memory you can put in a single box. Our future site will proberly use linux virtual server, which seems quite nice, however I havn't seen that many testimonies/reviews from sites that use it. The company I work for creates online image manipulating services, and part of the process is rendering large high quality images - and the hard part seems to be shared storage of these images (scsi over tcp/ip seems very interresting), load balancing with static pages seems easy enough. Anyway google's way of using many small machines is an inspiration.
There has been many comments about the truth of this story, but I can tell you for sure that something - not exactly the same - but close happened in Denmark a couple of years ago.
Some people crafted a fake frontend to a night deposit box, placed it on the real one, together with a sign that told customers that the regular one was out of order and they should use the temporary one. It was apparently discovered after a couple of days and made the news.
The morale is: spend your money as fast as you earn them:o)
I find it quite weird that they operate a space station on a normal consumer point and click OS.
I would have though that with the resources needed to build an orbiting spacestation they'd have enough human resources to either build their own specialised OS, or customize some existing one (perhaps something like QNX).
One can only fear what happens when they upgrade to one of the new microsoft leases based licenses so when their link goes down and they can't contact microsofts license server the entire space station shuts down:)
I heard that some company ported apt-get to redhat/rpm - but don't know where to get it.
But generally if you want to upgrade you would get redhat-7.1 on your favorite medium (f.x. a cd) start the install and choose upgrade system, instead of new installation.
Apt-get really is cool, but you can get a long way with rpmfind.net and tools like red-carpet.
http://www.dcginc.com used to sell resonably priced alpha hardware - it's been a while since I last looked though.
Most places that carry alpha's are proberly willing to sell you a bare boned system, just board, cpu and box, and you should be able to build a system pretty cheap.
I walked around the redhat stand at CeBit for a few minutes, and saw rasterman, I don't think he looks particular rock'n roll kinda. Allthough you're right, he isn't your ordinary geek looking coder.
It was actually kinda cool, being so close to some of the people I had only read about before.
It's a bit sad that more dvd's doesn't use the multiangle feature, it's one of the things all the commercials talk about, and yet the only movies I've seen it used in is porn.. ehm I mean heard about it used in:)

Can't remember the name, just that I too spend endless hours on some demo/trial of it - it really was great fun, wouldn't mind playing it again.
Quote from the story: "Have you ever thought that sed is too limited and only useful to Regular Expression scripts?"
Maybe one could then assume that normally sed is used for regular expression scripts?
So what if they didn't do anything wrong this time, they are still evil and we should be allowed to frown upon them! :)

Try it out - it's really great
Proberly the nfs mailling list - look at http://nfs.sourceforge.net for info.
How exactly is it broken?
Ahh.. good thing then that we have all seen it before last time it was posted.

I should be counted in on that one - havn't had a windows partition in years - for gaming I have a playstation.
Try asking it about Bill Gates :)

I had the exact same probem on my alpha, but it only occured when running in higher than 8bit colors in X.
Try lowering the colors to 256 - atleast just to see if that's what causing your problems too.

why are you reading it then? Is someone standing behind you forcing you to read slashdot even though you hate it?
idiot.

I saw it too, a mouse with an ear on it's back looks quite bizzare.
Have you ever seen anything that suggests they do?
I doubt it.
