...you need both amps and volts to be dangerous...correct me if i am wrong here
Yes and no. The nervous system operates at extremely low voltages and amperages. Technically a 9v battery could stop your heart!
That said, the human body is a pretty good resistor (skin is ~6-MegOhms per square inch if I recall correctly). The high voltage is needed to bridge the distance from outside your skin to inside where you're wet and salty. The amperage, however, just needs to be high enough to account for the loss in transmission and override the nervous systems own signals.
If you stuck a needle in each hand (bypass skin resistance) and hooked yourself up to a lantern battery the chances of you dying of heart failure are quite high. (Something even smaller would probably work as well but the physiognomy of people's nervous systems varies widely).

Heck, I might even have a try at Deus Ex then!
I played the original Doom when it came out for a few days (until I got bored) because the technology behind it made it so amazing.
Every game I've looked at since has either been painfully simple/boring (e.g. Black and White, GTA), based on the maze concept (e.g. Myst) or just a remake of Doom with fancier graphics (every other FPS).
This sounds kind of cool though - thanks!
Heh, touche'!:)
But I've been in the industry for over fifteen years with thousands of clients and the last time I had a hardware raid do that was almost six years ago.
Software raid on the other hand inevitably takes more time/effot/energy to recover from failures (especially if you're so foolish as to use what's provided by Win2K!).
Hardware hot-swap RAID is easy, just change drives and nobody knows anything happened.
Software RAID usually requires at least a reboot if not fiddling with system files.
Ergo, the labor cost of software raid usually ends up being more than the component cost of hardware raid.
Not to mention the performance difference between software and hardware raid is like night and day! (Just remember to get the little battery pack option if you decide to use write cache on the raid card:).
We need a moderation "-1 Idiot".

Anyways, if you RTFA, you would discover that they are talking about students potentially using WiFi to communicate amongst themselves (or persons unknown outside of the area).
They're already wired, they're trying to prevent the un-wired from having free reign.
Try doing it from the internet side... It works from the outside as well.
This has actually been a problem for a long time. I first noticed it on one of their 802.11b series WAP/firewalls. I don't remember the model; it was an early one and died of over-heating a couple years ago, like most of their stuff does.
(Tip for anybody w/a LinkSys WAP - put a fan on/in it!)
Like somebody else commented, I just forwarded to ports to a bogus IP. I also sent a note to their tech support who told me to update to the latest firmware but that didn't help. I've seen it many times since on other models so it doesn't surprise me that even the latest and greatest is still wide open.:(
I had to "hack" the crippled Windows Server 2003 to accept multiple connections...
As Funny as the parent is it could as easily be modded Insightful as this is really the same scenario as the camera.
If you have multiple target markets with different needs/wants it is much easier/cheaper to engineer the super-mondo-awesome model and then selectively trim features for the lower level markets than it is to engineer separate products from scratch.
Had they chosen the latter option and designed completely different models for each level of consumer these cameras would cost about three times as much across the board!
should have used freecache Who the heck modded this Troll?
If anything it deserves an Insightful!

A water/mercury filled hollowpoint would indeed be a frangible round.
In fact, the only real difference between them and a standard hollowpoint is that the fragmentation occurs far more violently.
An unfilled hollowpoint simply breaks apart whereas a hollowpoint filled with a non-compressible liquid A - has more kinetic energy in the first place and B - imparts a much greater percentage of that energy into the fragments.
Mercury simply adds lethality. Even a flesh wound will introduce enough mercury into the bloodstream to cause death due to heavy metal poisoning in the relatively near future. (Not, however, soon enough to be immediately useful).
I did a little searching and it appears that these rounds work better with lower velocity (or at least lower rate of spin) weapons.
"Internet lore" has it that the filler liquid can vaporise due to friction at high rates of spin and cause the round to come apart either in the barrel or shortly after exiting.

Hmm... Let's see here...
:)
- boots with shiny metal eyelets
- zippered cargo pockets
- non-bloused trousers
- white t-shirt
- sleeves not cuffed
- boonie hat
- non-standard issue trousers
Yep, I'm sure of it.
That's the new "Homeland Security" uniform!
Wonder how long it takes before they start either jamming each other's transmissions or playing man-in-the-middle and injecting false data...?

So, heh-heh, one [smart-ass] question: How exactly do you back it up?
Personally I think the G5s should have come with three drive bays standard and let you set up a RAID-5 array. Power users like reliability too...

Forget software raid. The extra money you spend on hardware raid will be immediately recovered the very first time you have a drive fail.
The WAP's I've tested have either been at home or at friends/family and I've been at work, so yeah, I was definitely coming in from outside.
