Well, I recently converted what used to be a 10'x6' pantry in my basement into a server room.
I tore out all of the old shelves, and picked up a bunch of nicer ones from Revy to hold my main servers and my (still nonfunctional) cluster, and screwed them into one of the longer walls. Opposite that, I used some of the old shelves to
make a small workbench, and I left room to add 2 or 3 racks (not that I'll ever need that much space) at a later date. It works really well, and because it used to be a pantry, and 2 of the walls are bare concrete, as is the floor, its stays down right COLD in there, even with 10 or so boxes going.
well, aparantly 16 GIGS isn't enough space to install the demo....
Tried it month ago.

Uplink

· Score: 2, Interesting
I tried Uplink out a couple months ago, and was less than impressed. The game didn't run well (it shouldn't take over 2 seconds to drag a windows around on a GHz machine)
There are actually versions of the VNC client which will also allow you to poll several machines at once. Just head over to the vnc site and check out the contributed software.
Well, I was hired by a small-ish dot-com a year or so back, as an HTML coder. That lasted mabe a month before the Unix admin took off, and the job sorta defaulted to me! (Boring story, eh?)
You have a point, but the fact remains that as long as MS is in controll of the OS, they can do whatever they damn-well please with anything that runs on top of the OS.
As has been said here already, apache, mysql, and most other *nix / Open Source software, does not run a root.
IIS runs under FULL system privilages, so a pretty simple exploit gives you full access to the system.
Open Souce code, particularly the higher profile stuff like apache, linux kernels, and whatnot have countless people looking over the code, squashing bugs, and plugging holes. This approach seems to work better than a (comparably) small team at MS, where a lot of the code probably is only seen by the coder working on it, and perhaps glanced over by his/her manager.
IIRC, the canadian tax is on 'Audio Media' only. I can go into a store, and pick up 'Data' CD-R's without adding the additional fees, but if the CD-R's say 'sudio' on them anywhere, them I'd have to pay the fees. Really rather stupid.
As far as I've tried, yes. My roommate has a Yamaha onboard chip in his desktop that he's still fighting with under Linux. My sound is (almost) perfect on my laptop, under FreeBSD.
There's stilla couple small issues to deal with, but nothing major.
I've had a satellite for about 6 months now and have never noticed anything like that in my firewall logs, then again I ditched the windows install on it long ago.
It may be toshiba's tech support thingy, not sure what its called.
I recently piced up a new toshiba laptop, and the suwoofer make a MASSIVE difference to the sound quality. The normal speakers a quite good, but the tiny little subwoofer really completes the sound. Mine's on got the 8 meg S3 card in it, but even with that it's very nice gaming rig for lan parties..
WEll, wither way, the prof was hired by the UNI, and if they can't even screen somebody that dumb out for a intro level course, there's gotta be a TON of other problems too
But, If the students are sheltered from all the messy stuff like memory leaks, etc, they're gonna be in really big trouble when the get into the real world and are gonna have to deal with these things.
I have to agree with the poster that stated ASM first, and move up from there. I think there are a lot of 'programmers' out there who simply can't handle stuff like ASM or even C (I work with some of these people).
I feel that, while you're not likely to need to code assembly in most jobs these days, if you're comfortable with it, and uderstand how you're systems work on that most basic level, you can be a FAR better programmer.
I've been in similar situations myself, I probably would have fired up a telnet session, just like you did, especially if the system was a friends. As an admin, I do understand the point of view of the ISP's techs, who in all likelyhood take any question about their security VERY personally. In this situation however, the ISP is simply stupid, and it's nothing short of a miracle than noone else found and exploited this obvisous hoe in the system.
The Legal community really doesnt understand technology or technological issues like most of us do, and lawmakers themselves are pretty well ignorant about these things. The ISP's logs should show what you were up to (if they were loggin it like good little admins though leaving something that open, odds are pretty good that they're equally dumb about logging) and show that you weren't doing anything mallicious.
The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey (sp?) is in its 3rd or 4th edition now, and when paired with the FreeBSD Handbook, there's little other documentation you really need, and 99% of whatever is lacking is either online, in the man pages, or in any of the countless UNIX books out there.

On top of that, the game simply wasn't fun.

This is still a MAJOR screwup on the part of the admins and/or the coders!
So what if it's accidental, does that make the CC#'s any less real?

This seems to be a pretty good collection of cheat sheets:

Actually, there are several city busses in vancouver that use ballard fuel cells.

Definitely Toshiba. I've got FreeBSD running on my Satelite 2800 withough any troubles!

Sounds more like ISDN

If he's going to be analising the recordings later, would it not make sense to use a format that isnt compressed?
