Heh. It was by accident that i discovered about the detectors first time. Forgot to take my keys out of my pocket as I went through.. Next time i went to that airport, i figured i'd see what it took. I forgot to mention about having my pager on me as well, the one time. You'd think _something_ would have set it off.
I think a hammer would set it off, well.. maybe not at Detroit....
I've walked through the metal detectors at Detroit Metro, with two sets of keyrings, my sunglasses, and about 10-15 dollars of loonies and toonies(bigger than your US dollar coins), and not set the alarm off. There were 10 keys total on the keyring, and the change is a fair mass, along with the sunglasses.
I'm sure a knife or something has a lot less mass in it.
I walked through security at Philadelphia doing similar, and the detector beeped. I had been standing in the arch for a few seconds, waiting for the person in front of me. So what did they do? Told me to walk through it again, and when it didn't beep, that was it.
White Plains(New york) and Dulles are more competent though, they're doing scans with the hand batons, and pat down searches as well. Random bag checks too. National Guard with M16's waiting too. Neither DTW or PHL seemed to be doing bag checks when i was there. Unarmed guards at DTW and IAD, from what i saw.
Then again HPN didn't check the end pocket of my duffle bag when they searched it, where I had all my stuff like toothbrushes, shaving stuff, etc.
Indeed, they are nice.. Controller's Bonneville SSEi has a HUD for radio, speed, signals, and a few other things.. Works great. I thought of putting a similar system in my own car, but mounting it on the dash so it doesn't look horrible, is the hard part.
I had a.tgz that i wget'd off a T1 once, it took a few hours cause of the hundreds of thousands of files. Unfortunately, I deleted that a long long time ago, needed some space.
My old Omnibook 5500 does something simlar, there's a printer port on the side, and you plug the floppy drive into it when you don't have it plugged in the front bay.
Both moo's seem to suffer from that.. I stick to three or four systems, and just research the fuck out of everything.. build up some automated factories, and then through everything in research into those research lab type things.. once i see something's going to be headed my way, work on battle stations and weaponry, whlie still researching the fuck out of it.. once i have doom star and stellar converter, i go build myself a fleet of death stars and just vaporize every planet the enemy is on.. he can't rebuild when there's nothing to rebuild on.
it's not very old by comparision to some of the other games mentioned here, but i was just playing master of orion 2 a few minutes ago..
any game that puts an autosave in, you _know_ it's going to be unstable. I'm hoping moo3 will be better. works ok under win98, just that damn council.lbx that comes up and crashes it now and then.. and once in a while it'll crash, and take something in the system with it, and my command.com won't work anymore.
haven't had time to check myself, but my friend said his ups ran down really really fast, when he had an x10 receiver sitting on the battery side of it. worth checking out first, i suppose
As secure as your admin, unfortunately. Any OS can be compromised with enough stupid mistakes, and almost any OS can be secured with enough cluefulness.
I've been trying to get my 5.25" cdrom sized battery pack from my old Omnibook 5500CT apart, looks like they desigend it so even if you take the screws out, it still doesn't come apart. Frustrating to say the least.. Not that i expect to find lithium batteries that are rechargable anyways =)
List of logins and passwords, dialin lines, home phone number of the guy, network layouts, HR documents, resume's, various engineering documents, etc
All from the same guy.
Emailed him back a few times, emailed root,abuse and postmaster.. tried to whois the domain, but the registrar's whois database was broken. I'll just keep collecting I guess.
I think some of it is cause of Inflex emailing him back, telling him this email has been blocked due to attachments not allowed. And then it emails me another document right. It's great fun, it seems to email two in a row, and then picks a new one.
Actually, i've found the other way works, bad printer drivers will cause netscape to break. The HP4000 series fo drivers are bad for that.. v3.3 is buggy, but 3.2 and 3.4 were good. HP changed their drivers for the latest versions, and what used to default to regular speed printing is now the high quality. So the print jobs come out at half the speed, unless you go through and set the settings back, for _every_ document. HP didn't want to help, cause it's an HP4000, instead of a 4050, which is still covered under support
1. Backups to tape/cd. Offsite backups to tape/cd. If your house gets a direct hit, and burns, and your tape/cd burns with it, you're going to be upset. Get the cheapest safety deposit box you can at a bank, a DAT tape, travan tape(ick) or cd fits easily.
Myself, I'd backup to a hard drive in a removeable hard drive carrier, AND cds. Toss that hard drive in an anti-static bag and seal it up, and put that in the bank box CD's are in case someone besides your box, has a collection of rare earth magnets that they didn't want stolen.
Keep in mind, in the event of a police investigation/etc, your bank deposit box is likely to be opened. Encrypt.
A good battery backup is a good defence, make sure you get all your paths covered.
the really cheap ram is using high density chips. as for the comment about needing a BX133 chipset to run pc133, i run pc133 quite happily in my celeron 466, at 66fsb.
With my previous celeron 300 at 450, i ran some old pre-pc66 class ram at 100, it worked fine. Nothing like buying quality ram in the first place. Got many years out of that ram.
Onboard ethernet, onboard sound, onboard scsi, onboard firewire. You should be able to get a mb with at least 3 of these. Get yourself a USB serial port thing from Belkin, you can add something like 7 serial ports or parallel ports or other things.
Exactly! Another important part I think, is having a gut instinct on how something is meant to be. Even if a good tech doesn't know how something works, having the instinct about how it must work, is very important for making a new toy work. Once you've got the basics down, then you start working on the fine details, by RTFM'ing or something lame like that =)

For 9x
Boot in safe mode.. Regedit, go to the HKey_Local_Machine.
Delete the ENUM tree.
Reboot. If it doesn't go into add new hardware by itself, do that.
Should be all set. I've moved from 486's to new Celeron's this way, works for me. Even gone down from Celeron 466 to a P120, without problems.

Go change a setting in the bios. Go reboot a locked up computer.
VNC isn't going to handle this, unfortunately.

Erm, all programs seem to do that when run under 98 (maybe 95?)

Pricey, but its' an idea.
they've already gone out of business once, don't you think it's possible it'll happen again?
you missed a part of your PNP under w2k.
up up down down left right left right b a start.
then type ".seineew era sreenigne epacsten"
your drivers will self-install.
i've seen ps/2 splitters, where the one data wire goes off to the keyboard, and the other goes to the mouse.. perhaps the dell uses one of these?
I like what Paul Daniels is doing with inflex
http://www.inflex.co.za
you can set it up to run a virus scanner, scan for file types, scan for text inline, etc.
works nice and fast, too.
Oh. And free!

Wouldn't surprise me if the producers of Terminator 3, somehow managed to get one of the Terminators out of that foundry vat though.
