At my last few companies and my current one that I work out, one of the first things I do is setup an internal only Wiki server.
Not only does this let me document everything I can about the network but I also try an train my co-workers in using it to document information they feel is important for their job too.
The effectiveness though seems to be related to the level of computer literacy of the user, i.e. my last company the software developers went crazy with it and documented everything they could think of. But other than them or us in the I.T. dept, no one use would hardly touch it at all.
Either way it's still a simple method for your to store notes, diagrams or any information about your network in an easy to find single location that you feel would be important to the company should you leave for any reason.
I used the lid from my wok myself along with a D-Link USB 802.11bg nic/antenna, all nicely duct tapped to a cheap camera tri-pod. So far with initial tests, I've been able to connect to standard wifi routers approximately 1.5 to 2 miles away.
"Tell THAT to the guy who was arrested out west last year for having sex with his underaged wife - he married he in a state where the lower age was legal, and was arrested by the police in his town when his wife got pregnant for statutory rape"
If I remember correctly, he had sex with her and got her pregnant and then married her after the fact to try and fix his already illegal actions, which the courts didn't buy and correctly so.
Once you receive a copy of the software under a specific license or terms, that can't be retro actively changed by the copyright owner (Unless that was agreed upon in a contract).
Take SSH as an example. The original versions by Tatu Ylönen were released under a free license until version 1.2.12. After that he started adding various rescritions to his licenses until finally turning it into closed source purely commercial software.
The OpenBSD team was able to take the last free version 1.2.12 and fork it into a new project OpenSSH which has since surpased the original SSH (now OSSH) in functionality, features and popularity.
OpenSSH still holds some of Tatu's original code which he still owns the copyrights for, but since that code was released to the public under a free license with no restrictions on it's use, he can't now come back and tell the OpenSSH developers they can no longer use that code.
While OO supports.doc, exporting to the Microsoft.doc format isn't there, meaning people who only have MS Office (i.e. most people) can't open your document.
This is untrue, I routinely create OO documents that I then SaveAs in word format and send to all the MS Office users in our company (I'm only 1 of 2 linux workstations here).
In worse case scenario, you can always export to PDF and send someone that document without any problems.
Back in highschool, for about 2 years, the question wasn't "was I stoned" but instead what days I wasn't stoned.
A small group of friends and I smoked pot constantly, daily, until one day one of our major sources moved away.
At that time we basically decided that was fun, now time to move on with our lives.
And we did, there was no cravings, no elevated emotional states, or any other addictive type symptons. We just quit, simple as that.
Now it's about 20 years later, and while I've smoked the occasional bowl a few times within those years, I've never gotten addicted to it nor even bothered to try any of the hardcore drugs that pot is supposed to lead you into.
As for your friend, he sounds like a very addictive personality that runs the risk of becoming addicted to anything. There are people like that, who I wouldn't advise using pot, but then I wouldn't advise them to start playing EverQuest either.
What they took out was the automatic commercial skip feature, while you have to manually hit the advance button (same as Tivo has) my ealier model ReplayTV's automatically skip commercials without me having to do anything at all.
Thats the part they got sued over and had to remove, along with some of the network streaming capabilities.
This extension gives you single window mode: Single Window 1.0
Also if you read the docs they made a major change to how firefox manages extensions from 8.0 to 9.0, so it's simply a matter of the extension creators to update to the new requirements.
The default install is a self contained binary. All you have to do is untar/gzip and run firefox from the new firefox directory.
Personally I just untar into/opt/firefox and create a link in my window manager. When I want to upgrade or try a different version, wipe out the directory and untar a new one.
Also the reason Mozilla does it this way, is it makes it super easy for any of the distro's to create an install package for it. They dont even have to compile the app if they dont want. So if your really missing that rpm to install, complain to your distro for not releasing one yet.
You can get binary stage3/grp install cd's or.iso's for your particular cpu and architecture. This lets you take advantage of both the speed of a binary install and a base system that's been optimized for your cpu class.

The real problem is that there aren't any DRM-like controls on the documents. That's a good thing, but obviously it's going to take about a decade before book publishers finally agree to that.

Obviously you dont really know anything about the Atkins diet, or you would know that even in the initial 2week induction phase, your daily dose of veggies is very important.
In fact someone following Atkins probably eats more veggies a day than the average american who doesn't follow the plan.
Unless your counting those fries with your burger and coke as part of your anti oxidant regime?
The myth about Atkins being only about high protien and fat is just that a "myth". The main point of the nutritional regime is to cut out processed sugar and "empty" or "bad" carbs, like those found in white flour, starches etc. Especially in the later phases of Atkins good carbs from fruits etc are not only ecouraged but required.
Also of note, I started Atkins because a roommate of mine has been following it for a couple years. At 5'4" 300+ lbs, with diebetes she was in far more danger of heart disease, stroke etc than she is today 150lbs lighter and her blood sugar levels are so well controlled thru her diet she doesn't even need insulin for her diabetes. Her physician not only knows she follows Atkins but is estatic she does so.
Over the past several years, EMusic has stood alone in its commitment to providing digital music consumers a service that offers flexibility and portability. We remain the ONLY service offering downloads in the standard MP3 format.
We are also unique in our focus on music from the leading independent labels. Unlike other services, we understand that many music consumers want to go beyond the Billboard charts. We remain firmly committed to continuing to provide avid music fans an alternative to the mainstream.
What about IUMA? Not only do they seem to provide everything EMusic states. They do it for free
What about all the emails these virus detectors PREVENT by warning the user about the potential virii in the emails.
Remember, the average user isnt that smart. We dont want to prevent them from getting their mail. We do want to warn them. Not only this, the warning emails are likely just local anyways, so this isnt going to be too bad of a traffic increase.
You didn't read the article did you?
This isn't about AV software warning a user that an email they recieved might contain a virus. It's about AV software the sends a reply back to the supposed (sender) of the email saying they are infected.
The problem here is that lately pretty much all email based viruses forge their From: address to make it look like the email came from what is actually an innocent party.
I use Linux and OpenBSD on my worstations exclusively, with mail programs that can't even render html email etc. The chance of me sending out or spreading an email virus is almost zero, yet I recieved hundreds of bounces warning me that the email I sent out contained a virus, from people I never even heard let alone even sent an email to in the first place.
"That" is the problem the article was refering to.
Our solution is Postfix(or your favorite mta here) + Procmail using the Procmail Sanitizer along with Spamassassin and Trend Micro's Officescan
Corporate Edition as backup virus scanning on the desktop.
So far over a 3 year period the procmail setup has caught 100% of incoming viruses and trojans without delivering them to the recipient. Trend catching anything not coming thru the mail server.
Luckily Portsentry and LogSentry are still in the Gentoo distfile mirrors. emerge them both while their still available.
Does anyone know if the psionic licenses allow you to mirror the source.tgz's on your website? I'd happily do so now that they are no longer available because of Cisco

I'd like to see something like this using the NX protocol as the response time is much faster than VNC.
