This is easy to do and will thwart kiddies/botnets off, just change the SSHd port to something else other than 22. Unless your server is being targeted directly (they'll nmap you...) this will stop most mass-scan brute-force attacks.
A lot of people don't understand that it's heat that kills a battery (and not "overcharging", let's talk about Lithium Ion for now). My Dell 700m batteries (2) each hold a charge of 5 hours after 4 years of usage. How's this possible, you may ask? I seldom charge the battery while using the laptop. I usually run it off A/C with the battery removed, and then at night, I put the battery back in and let it charge while the machine is powered off. This method has worked for me and my father very well.
Manufacturer's won't tell you that, especially since a killer profit is to be made for post-sales accessories.
You don't need this to run OS X on your basic Intel hardware. It use utterly useless and a waste of money.
Visit www.osx86project.org and read up on EFI. You can pretty much inject the EFI 'mechanism' into a retail Leopard install without tinkering with the kernel.
This is just a tremendous waste of cash on a USB stick that essentially does the same thing as an EFI bootloader.
This is still illegal according to the EULA in OSX, but...
1) Purchase a copy of Mac OSX. While this won't help the legality issues, it'll certainly put you in the grey zone. Or just visit your friendly torrent tracker. Look for "kalyway". Cough. 2) Visit OSX86 Project and take a look at the many installation guides available. Make sure your hardware is supported (it probably is) and that all the kexts (Kernel Extensions) are readily available for you to install. 3) Install Leopard. 4) ??? 5) Enjoy a BSD-based OS with a pretty GUI.
I'm willing to bed the browser/hotspot/etc. in the car will only be active when the car isn't moving (when transmission is in park) like those navigation headunits sold by Pioneer and whatnot. I also bet there will be a workaround for it too if you're technically able, why not.
I'd like this feature to be available in automobiles so I could stream some online music, like from protonradio.com.
I'm glad to hear that Bell is about to get their asses kicked. Every night, after 12 PM exactly, I notice my connection slows down to a crawl up until 6-7 AM in the morning. Yes, I'm a heavy Bittorrent user, with encryption enabled. I'm on the verge to switch over to Videotron (the other major provider of Internet access in Quebec) but they have lame bandwidth caps. Internet access here in Quebec is absolutely terrible. It's not even true ADSL, just shitty G.lite/PPPOE.

Well, the title is a lie, as I was in Vegas this past August. But wow, passing by JFK, Denver and Chicago in the past two years was a burden, especially with the multitude of flight connections. And now that I can't bring an additional battery with me on board, flying in the USA is going to suck, especially if I'm going to be waiting at an airport with no electrical plug outlets (quite popular these days, building airports without accessible outlets for passengers).
I hope to God Canada doesn't implement such stupid restrictions, or else I'm going to have to move to the EU.

Dell still sells certain models that come with XP (at no extra charge) and Ubuntu (free). Hint: browse around in the Business/Office section.
Care to share the hardware and software to make this all work? :)
Must have been an expensive operation considering the price of text messaging today.

Repeat the above for FTPd, too.

Shut the fuck up and get the Steam version you crybaby.
This guy pretty much sums it up.
Mod parent up.
Why is Cobol still alive and in demand? What's so good about it? Why can't we just port everything over to a newer language and be done with it?
Doesn't it cost more to keep paying these rare programmers than to just update/convert/replace the systems?
Super Product 2008, or 2009. Keep the version (or build) numbers for internal use.

Probably because the majority of Vista's architecture is based on 3.11.
Yes, Rogers in Canada states that incoming text messages are always free, while outgoing costs 0.15$ per message.

It's the largest IRC network out there. Oh wait...

>> Airlines will, however, continue to fly your luggage anywhere you please, provided it contains no shoes, liquids, or lithium batteries.
Sometimes, they'll even surprise you by flying your luggage to a random destination!

Yeah, well, my 2600 is officially a door-stopper.
