You'd think that we'd learned from our mistakes. When the ABL system came out the first thing the enemy did was to CHROME all their missiles. Guess someone forgot that lesson...Oh well. Just taxpayer money..
I just signed up w/ Cavalier Telephone. I hadn't heard about them til a friend told me about this particular CLEC. They had a very sweet deal. I switched my local & long distance to their service & signed up for their MVL (multi variable line) dsl. I now have ONE REASONABLE BILL A MONTH (about 135$.)
In return I get, local, caller Id, long distance at 9 cents a minute anytime, broadband and 5 STATIC IPS!. The bandwidth I signed up for is 768 kbps (which because it's a MVL line turns out to be around 60 -70 KBps.) AND they don't block any ports and have no problem with you running servers!
The only problem they DO have, is with you competing with them (I read their TOS and they do have a 'no compete' clause.)
So, in short, check w/ you local CLECs and see what type of super deals they might have. And research the company to see if they'll be sticking around for a while too!
For those of you who don't know. CLEC = Competitive local exchange carriers (i.e. The other white meat!)
After some thought and one hot Earl Grey tea, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard approaches the crew on his decision...
"After much thought and consideration, I've decided that we need to intervene and put a stop to this endless bickering!"
Capt. Picard looks to Lt. Cmdr. Worf, "Arm torpedos!..Raise shields"
Worf still not knowing whom to attack says,"Captain, who did you decide to attack?"
Which Picard responds with,"I don't care! If our 401K accounts are to recover and I'm to retire next session for some other series called 'DS9', we need to put a stop to this horrific, roller coaster of a ride on the stock market!"
*Worf presses the big red button labeled 'attack bad dudes'.*
*A bright flash occurs as the Enterprise fires it's weapons*
Picard yells to Riker," Quit starring at Deanna's chest and tell me what the 'Temporal imaging sensor' reads!"
Riker sheepishly replies,"You did it Captain! Our retirement funds are stabilizing and returning to normal"
Picard,"Excellent Number One, let's get out of here. This spinning globe is making me dizzy"
Doctor Crusher states,"Captian? How did you remember about our retirement funds? I'd totally forgotten about them."
Picard replies,"Easy Beverly, I'm a bald, old, white dude. It's my job to be up tight and think about money."

Thank you. Exactly.
What this all really sums up to is a hacker who couldn't get to the log files and decided to try and go the "I'm a white hat here to help" route
If you want to live with a crappy 'Terms of Service' that states you won't run servers at your house, install someone else's software that could/couldn't be spying on you, and limits your upload speeds to the equivalent of a 56k dialup modem, you go right ahead buddy!
That's the kind of service I would recommend for my parents.
Myself, I'd get the Covad SDSL service.
No limitations on what I can/can't do.
Can run sweet unix based servers at home
Will have sweet upload capability that won't hinder my websites
Don't have to worry with dynamic IPs or installing someone elses software on my systems
NO BLOCKED PORTS
Oh yeah, BTW, Could you move over? My Mommy wants to play in your 'Safe' Sand box too.
Ewww...What's that cat doing in there??
I want Code Red IV myself...

Code Red III

Hopefully Code Red IV, when it rolls out next week, will just cut the dang servers OFF
It has come to our attention that you have violated our computer cases by installing x86 motherboards. This behavior is somehow (not sure yet, but we can prove it in court!) no allowed by the DMCA. You will stop installing x86 systems in our case as they MIGHT, possibly appear to run faster than our current boxes.

I can imagine someone flooding Microsoft's 'Crash Dump Servers' with loads of fake dump info making Microsoft take action on disallowing that application to run!

What happens when your green square container runs out of beer??
If you were to attach wheels and some sort of steering mechanism to your jet engine you could use the propulsion to goto the store and get MORE Beer! Hence, when you get back to the shed your beer will again be cold! And you won't run out!
...you're limited to two hard drives. At work and at home I use removable hard drives all the time.
At home I use it to simplify my computer needs by having:
A gaming system
A linux box
And Win2K box for days when I work at home
At work we use them for developmental testing. All we do is slap a new clean HD into the computer. Boot it up. Run our software installation and try to crash it. Rinse and Repeat as needed.
One problem! The removable kits AREN'T STANDARDIZED! So, if you are going to jump into removable hard drive kits, make sure you buy what you need and then some! I've run into some that won't give the HD power til it's locked, others that give power upon being inserted and worse yet....Ones that are poorly ventilated!
All and all...Saves tons of money by not having to shell out da clams for tons of new computers (and upgrading them all once a week...)
Odds are good he's using YOUR ISP seeing how you probably checked that 'remember password' box. If that's the case, I'd take a copy of the police report and goto your ISP (assuming it IS your ISP the dude dialed into, which is easily checked by looking at the header of the email message) and talk to management right-a-way!
If it was one of my local ISP's I'd take about 1 case of beer with you as a small incentive.
Yep. Other 2 were abducted by aliens. (I was trying to us the built in Microsoft calculator on my Win2K system at work. Should have used a GPL'd calculator!)
Slashdot Mirror
Payment plans dude! Payment plans...
DA & I alerted Davey to it yesterday. Wonder when those "Our sites been compromised, change your password" emails will start flying??
BTW? How do you contact google and tell them to stop caching something like this??
Disregard him
Sorry.

*QH does impression of lollipop*
And I was one of the first...
And then I had to run to the bathroom for..umm..tissue...
I'd bet money that messes w/ messages...And their detection...
Now we all know why they cry like hell when their house burns down...
I was starting to think my neighbor was a shark...
Build cheap servers out of them for dedicated purposes
Build parents a system
Build friends and siblings systems
Trade parts with friends for other parts
Research their selling price on eBay. ((>20$)?sell:don't sell)
Worst case, stand by busy road and throw them into on coming traffic!
I never donate them. By the time I'm ready to part with them, schools don't even want them
That's the kind of service I would recommend for my parents.
