A.32 with that sort of load? I can imagine being able to put down a man with that.
Do you even know what a hydro-shock load is...?
Maybe I don't either but last I knew it was a hollow-point filled with either water or mercury (depending how lethal you wanted to be) and then sealed with wax or lead.
Test results with a.22 fired at 1x6 pine boards:
Normal solid round = entrance hole the size of a dime, exit the size of a nickel Normal hollow-point = entrance hole size of a nickel, exit the size of a quarter Filled hollow-point = board explodes
(Note: These loads are highly illegal in the USA and any other NATO country!)
Speaking as a long time consultant who runs into this all the time - it's not a case of quality vs mediocrity, it's a case of ignorance.
The problem is conveying the value to someone with no foundation of knowledge to build on.
In this particular case I would use real-world examples of how your implementation is better. E.g. "If you decide to do XYZ or ABC or whatever down the road you can with my design because I've taken the time to analyze your needs and plan for the future. The site you're looking at would cost more in the long run because of the lack of forward-looking infrastructure."
That said, I would definitely see about partnering with a good graphics designer to make your site just as pretty (or more so).
Looks sell, ask any beautiful woman!:)
...China risks isolating itself... Anybody that pays any attention to the news will tell you the Chinese government is more likely to see this as a benefit than a "risk".
Pretty bad especially considering I've only had the laptop for less than a month...
Any new machine will have an image dumped onto the hard-drive by the manufacturer.
Most imaging apps don't bother with defragmenting so you probably started out with it fairly fragmented from the initial build of the image.
99% of the stuff you'll be scanning for won't affect them. Sure, keep the DOS tests for after-hours and keep your probe timing to something reasonable (e.g. don't flood-ping across a dial-up) but the rest can be done any time with zero impact...

Do you happen to be a hot Russian chick who is known for riding through Chernobyle?:D
Wrong bike.
And while she may or may not be considered hot (literally, even!:) she's not known for being stupid which, as other posters have pointed out, this particular stunt appears to be.
I'm darn sure not inviting him to my town, I'd have him camped in my living room for a month while he tried to get parts! Rofl...
Do some digging on your own, the earth has been far hotter than it is now even before we were industrialized. Not agreeing or disagreeing, but can you cite some references to back that statement up?
Since the coil is really the only part that's difficult to see just take an existing speaker and bust the magnet in half. It'll sound like crap but you'll be able to see everything.
Just be careful removing the bottom steel plate so you don't damage the coil. Easiest way is to use a nail or sharp knife to scrape away as much of the glue as possible then brace it in a vice and use a cold chisel or large standard screwdriver to pry/knock it loose.
Once the bottom plate is off use that same chisel coming in from the side to break the magnet. (Might be easier to avoid damaging the coil if you remove the magnet completely).
With the bottom plate and half the magnet missing the magnetic field will be weaker and lopsided but the speaker will actually still function.
It will work better if you put the plate back on but it will be a little harder to see the coil moving - your call.
If you wanted to get really fancy you could cut one side of the plate off but it'll be a pain as they are usually solid steel!
(Yes, this is the voice of experience:).
Tip - If you can't afford the Shomiti, (if you can afford the Shomiti your switches are probably already manageable:), or if you just want to tap a line you can also build your own ethertap.
I've seen some apps that ran over plain old HTTP but had a Java applet that was a VPN client so they were essentially just tunneling the encrypted session via port 80.

It appears that he's concerned about his daily-use machine. As far as that goes a file server as you describe it could/should be running Linux anyway.
Even so, any virus/worm that gets into the workstation that looks for content on network drives is still going to find his data...
Change the GPO that identifies the Administrator account to sysop. Bit of a pointless exercise as most attacks either generate their own admin account or attack the original Administrator account via its SID (which is the same on all NT-class systems).
Create a user account, add yourself to the powerusers group, and delegate that group common management responsabilities. Take a look at the Local Security Policy and you'll see that, in terms of fending off attacks of this type, being in the Power User group is no safer than being an Administrator.
However, now that you're looking at that policy, if you tone down what the Power Users are allowed to do you'll be a little better off.
create another user account, and add that to the administrators group. Use run-as to do tasks with those privilages from your poweruser account. No need to bother with this, just run-as the Administrator in the first place.:)
Make your admin account a designated recovery agent. This actually is a good idea!
If the Administrator account gets trashed you've got a backup account.
Enable encryption. Encrypt the data, and make sure the location that has the data, and all the data has only your poweruser account on the acl, don't add everyone to deny all no matter how tempting that is, just remove everyone from the list. This is actually a relatively bad idea as any attack vector that comes through his account will have access anyway and the encryption makes recovery a royal bitch if other nasty things happen (e.g. hard-drive failure).
The only time I would ever advise this is for somebody who has rules and regs requiring ultra-high security (E.g. military)
Just my $.03 cents as a 'nix loving geek whose responsible for "securing" a lot of Microsoft crap as best I can.

Q: Anybody know another name for these?
No you got it all wrong, we are a "networkoftheapes".
:)
Well, you might be a "theape" (whatever that is) but I'm not...
(Hmm, how else can that be misread?
Or when the client points to that site say 'I wrote that site too'... copy that other site...
:)
Heh, cute!
(For anyone taking him seriously that's a good way to get sued!)
Why doesn't another company...take an Open Source structure, and charge for a nice ass desktop environment.
Every commercial product (think Star-Office, Spam-Assassin, etc.) that has an OSS back-end is doing exactly that...
...drew 2600 participants... :)
Last I checked most of the folks in 2600 were pretty sharp!
After a disaster involving my cat, a pot of coffee and my workstation...

AD is awesome... it is the cheapest way to integrate LDAP into your environment with Windows clients.
You obviously haven't tried to use those LDAP services for anything but AD or you'd know that it's way more horribly implemented than the Kerberos...

Agreed. Our RightFax just broke from a MS patch install...

Sarbanes Oxley has nothing to do with it.
