I wanted to add one other thing to the thread as an afterthought, even though I already have another post here. Holy overanalysis on the password part batman...
Because he could stop the sentinals in the "real" world? Quite the connection... subtly obvious, but still. I read it instead as the real world being real, but him still having a control over it. Could go either way, and knowing how the series is going, whichever way it goes will redefine real.
Well, it went by too fast for me to see the password, or the ssh exploit, but I did catch nmap and ssh being used. I was also the only person in the theatre who laughed out loud at that scene... *geek*
Maybe a better "feature" would make it respect normal permissions unless told otherwise.

Holy shit, get over it. Besides, next time you hear something called "Chipendales" (or however it's spelled) is near your town, offer some woman a ticket - I'm sure she'll be interested in taking it... Maybe it's the assholes that try to make everything politically correct that make life suck so much.
Despite that this probably adds nothing to the topic, the parent to this is the best thing I've read in quite some time. Definitely a great point as to how people on Slashdot will follow a group mentality, even if that wasn't what you meant to point out. Still laughing...

I work at a library, and at the place where I work, and every other library I've heard of, no books are tied to your record once they're checked in. Patron records only track non-identifying statistics (number of books you've checked out, etc.), and there is no way I can discover what you turned in yesterday. Libraries are basically VERY privacy concerned.
Umm, yeah... see, we took IBM off the list, yeah.... Didn't you get the memo? I'll have another copy sent to you. And I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday... we've been short handed and need to catch up."
In the tradition of/., I'd give just a few minutes until an Anonymous Coward (as opposed to the "Anonvmous Coward") proves that the CLI jokes will go as far as T... And if it wasn't for M$ and their Current Update Notification Tool, my mind would still be pure and I wouldn't have thought about that... damn Microsoft.

I would just like to note that you current.sig, iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -o eth1 -d slashdot.org -j UP_MY_ASS, translates to "take everything I type on/. and shove it up my own ass." Most people just eat their words... I'd say that you've taken it a few steps further.
What idiot would collect thousands of e-mail addresses from net admins for the sake of sending spam?
Read the following:
The USENIX Association does not rent or sell email addresses. USENIX may use email addresses to contact members to answer member questions or to acknowledge the receipt of membership applications and other orders, to send membership renewal notices, and to send occasional announcements about USENIX events to those members who have not opted out of receiving such announcements. These announcements are short straightforward messages that contain pointers to online resources where members can explore the information more fully. AND
Our site gives you the opportunity to opt out from either receiving email communications or from having your name and address made available to anyone other than the USENIX Association. When registering for a conference, you have the option not to be on the Attendee list.
Actually, Fuji Velvia slides are notorious for their extreme saturation of colors, and it makes for incredible landscape photos. It's also the WORST idea for portrait photography.
Part of the problem with photography is that a picture on film (or nowadays digital) is not the same as what you see. For any photo, the lightness / darkness is partly subjective to the settings on the camera, and greatly subjective to the person handling processing. "Dodging and burning" or darkening and lightening portions of an image to bring out masked detail is a common practice, and most (99.999% I'd say) photographers consider a dodged and burnt image to be unaltered unless it makes the image appear truly different than the scene it was taken from. Color photos are even more confusing, because the human mind compensates for variations in lighting, while film doesn't (except for built-in biases to certain lights per film). Colors also have to be adjusted during printing using a system of filters.
Photo.net has what I consider an authoritive determination of what is classified as altered, and I suspect for those not familiar with photography, it will give you a bit of an idea about just how subjective a printed image can be, from the type of paper used, to the amount of contrast in the print, to the dodging and burning, and the color compensation... and these are all AFTER exposure considerations. Many more considerations can be made before the exposure!
I know it's been said. It shouldn't have to be said. It shouldn't have to be said again. I'm saying it again. That's because this story is here, again.
If you think the prices on LCDs are that outragous, try buying a standard Serial to USB converter... I can't find one under $30... some places even sell them at $60. Then there's music CDs...
And coax worked... I still know of spots using coax because it suits the conditions. I'll stay out of the SASCSI v. Fibre Channel mess, but suffice it to say that there is compatibility in all these devices. They all run the SCSI protocol. The software is a level above the hardware. Just remember the distinction between the two, and where the limiting factors occur.
Different physical busses are a good thing. They're not working in competition either. The SCSI protocol is distinct from the media that implements it. This is like saying fibre is better for connecting computers, so all those people working with copper should just stop competing.
The SCSI bus supports more drives per channel (limited by bus type, up to 126 right now using FireWire. ATA is stuck at 2). SCSI drives support fancy things such as command queing and the controllers are optimized to handle things like high numbers of small transactions with greater efficiency. A nice explanation to set you in the right direction is found here.
I run both ATA and SCSI drives. My take is that if you're using small numbers of drives or just doing straight, simple high bandwidth sequential seeks, ATA is fine. SCSI will show when you have differing loads that are more real. Personally, I'm much happier with SCSI for just about anything. The fact is that ATA propenents can only compare against current SCSI technology by trying to be "good enough" for the job. They're not. It's all an issue of price vs. performance - but take out the issue of price, and SCSI wins.
