FTP opens random ports too (for data transfer), and so does IRC's DCC.. it doesn't prevent either of these protocols from being easily tunnelable with a reasonably smart firewall.
You say "tunnelable," which could imply one first builds a secure tunnel between hosts. If so, this would work, but, is beyond what the overwhelming majority of people do out there can do.
If that's not what you mean, I assume you're not doing egress filtering, which is something any company security people worth their pay would do. If you are doing egress filtering and know of a way of dynamically AND securely change the rules PLEASE point me to the info. Keep in mind that it's company policy that dictates the rules, so changing the rules would have to be checked against said policy. I can think of ways to do it, but it's not something I would want to "play" with.
I'm with you on this. But, it works for you and me because we have a clue - 1/4 clue in my case - AND make an effort of staying organized. Joe Sixpack on the other hand, generally speaking, has no clue as what goes where; for example, he saves things wherever the file selection box points him to. If ALL programs made the SAME assumptions it would not be so bad, but that's not the case.
I'll agree with you the day the DRM cops show up at my door and FORCE me to buy DRMed stuff. I Think, DRM is fine, and if someone CHOSES to buy DRMed crap, they should have to abbey by the DRMed music seller's rules. There is more good music out there than you can listen to in a lifetime, why bother buying DRMed crap? No?
Several of the "street people" near my house have been doing this for years. In fact, some of them are even more advanced, they do it without any headphones.
I generally agree. One problem with this is, for example, being able to converse at at high level, but not be able to read a language that uses a script other than latin. Case in point, I can speak Japanese quite well, including Hiroshima dialect - it's the language of the Yakuza in most Japanese movies. I, however, can't read more than a couple hundred kanji - mostly people and place names. When I asked for help to fill in even simple forms, it used surprise, shock actually, my Japanese friends who, in contrast, could read/write English quite well, but could hardly speak any.
Err... Romanian only has three cases? You must mean just accusative, dative and nominative, right? Is that something recent?
Also, while you might be technically right about Romanian not being as close to Latin, I can read and UNDERSTAND Latin MUCH better than my Italian friends. I guess that just makes me smarter. Not!
Besides, if you can read Romanian, go here http://www.dr-savescu.com/carte/ and see that Latin was the language of the people living in what is now Romania and it was the Romans that "borrowed" it.;-)
It could well be, but when I can fly for 30~50% less than the next airline, who cares. It's only a few hours, and I just make sure I am tired before the flight, so I go to sleep as soon as I get on; well, not before telling the host/hostess that I don't want to be woken up for the "food".
No extra registration for older cars. But, after a car is ten years old it has to get inspected every year, rather than every two years, as it's normal with a newer car. (This might have changed recently, I can't remember.) Radio... only AM should be affected, unless FM in New Zealand is in a totally different range. Japanese radios generally have a much wider FM scanning range, and scan in.1 MHz steps. This makes it possible for me to use my little portable radio to tune in FM in Canada/US as well as in Europe. AM band could be affected if NZ is set up to allow stations at 10 kHz steps, as opposed to the Japanese 9 - some radios allow you to change the steps, but none of them, as far as I know, are car radios. Chime... no longer the case in the last ten years or so. As an aside, I used to challenge my Japanese friends at who could keep the chime on the longest on some treacherous mountain roads. I am happy to say that I always won. Although, perhaps is more telling of my level of sanity, or lack thereof, than of my driving skills.
Having spent a "few" years in Japan let me assure you that an engine from a six or seven year old car that ALREADY has 30.000 miles on it is not too common. That would be from a well used car, and that's not that common in Japan.
Nah, no relation to the hot air, just a poorly maintained car.
Year ago, 1982 to be precise, I put quite a few thousand km on an air coled VW van bouncing around western Africa. Heat was almost never an issue for the engine. Why almost? Because a couple/few times there was so much mud on the heads that they no longer managed to dump enough heat. Haven't been to Vegas in a couple years, but somehow I doubt the roads have gotten as bad as they were in the Northern part of Uganda in 1982.
Glad to hear that. She's still young though, and I have seen it go both ways: some kids get toughened by it, some get REALLY down on themselves. With luck, and your and your wife's help, your kid might be one of the former.
How much time have you spent in Japan? (Vacations don't count.) Unless your answer is "more than six years" your advice is not exactly useful; not to say anything about the fact that we have no clue as to why he wants to get out of there. I for one, would NEVER want to bring up a kid in Japan, with their fucked up educational system. ESPECIALLY NOT a kid that the Japanese consider "half". I spent fourteen years in Japan, ten of which were working in "education," so, I have a little bit of a clue as to what is what. I am by NO means expert...

Dude,
I have lived in quite a few countries around the world. It NOT just the "USAnians" that live that way. They just happen to be somewhat more vocal than the rest. Shrug.
You can try to twist this any way you want, but you are NOT asking the owner for permission to acess his or her network, and that's the important point.
(Just so you know, where _I_ stand: I use my neighbours' unsecuread APs all the time. I am on a very narrow "broadband" pipe, and my neighbours are on MUCH wider ones. So, at night I let one of my boxes lose and get whatever I need. Although I do this without their permission, I really don't know who the kind bandwidth donnors are, I am in no way kidding myself that this is not morally, and perhaps legally, wrong.)
Because: 1. Most cars have more than one seat. 2. Most cars are occupied by only one person. 3. Most people drive with their car doors unlocked.
Then: When a car stops next to me, I can get in and get a ride to wherever the next place that the car stops next. I bathe everyday, and I am not to big, and those back seats are empty anyway. Hell, I'll be quick to get in and out and won't even say a word to the driver, so her driving experience should be the same as if I were not there. No?

there are M6000 - 600MHz - that are fanless as well. I am quite sure I have seen even bigger ones too.

There are several makers selling them. Of hand I can think of TDK, but, I am sure I have seen others as well.

Yeah, have something like an "etc API" perhaps?

By your logic...
Because:
1. Most cars have more than one seat.
2. Most cars are occupied by only one person.
3. Most people drive with their car doors unlocked.
Then: When a car stops next to me, I can get in and get a ride to wherever the next place that the car stops next. I bathe everyday, and I am not to big, and those back seats are empty anyway.
