That is a great outlook, share what you have and we need more people like that but what happens when someone decides to launch an attack from an open AP, release a virus into the wild, download kiddie pr0n, etc.
Again I think it is awesome you are sharing out your connection to the public and offering a service but just watch out for someone who will abuse it.

Yeah you can run biodiesel on the newer VW TDI engines without any mods. Really nice setup.
So you can pickup a new Golf TDI and go biodiesel crazy.
But this article is a bit different since it deals with raw cooking oil without any processing done to it.
You still need Biodiesel to start and shutoff (preping for the next start) of the car you only switch over to straight veggie oil after you start up on biodiesel. Still very cool to see folks making headway.
Wow harsh words but I could of sworn that the much awaited TFC2 was NOT based on the HL or HL2 engine but their own engine.
TFC release date was pushed back many times, I think the original poster was referring to the fac that people can push back the release date just like they do with all sorts of software. Infact this is something I'd think that most slashdotters are familiar with.
Guess I learn something everyday. Your not just speaking out your ass right? Wait your hiding behind AC.

Postal is like redneck rampage with the exception of being able to urinate on folks. Worthless game anyways nobody would want to write a mod for that engine.:)
My current girlfriend of 5 years doesn't know any of my higher level security passwords. She complains when I won't tell her, but really there is no need for her to know.
We have certain shared passwords but looking at an overall security perspective it'll only get her so far.:)
I think it comes down to people's perspective on passwords. A lot of slashdotters have been dealing with password authentication for a while before it has become a large part of mainstream life. Now that it is really starting to come in to play in people's lifestyles there are a lot of people who really don't understand password security in the overall picture. Heh.. These people still write checks in the express lanes at the market also.
Our CEO is a gadget freak so I might actually be able to impliment something along the lines of biometric authentication. We have a good amount of sales folks who check in from remote also though. So no way of economically getting around passwords.
Many people in my office will proudly announce what their password is. Infact sometimes they like to have a good laugh about who has the most simple password. A lot of times they'll spit out their password in a room full of clients. I tell ya it is a regular laugh riot
I turned on strong password authentication when I was promoted.
Now they just leave the passwords on a post-it-note on their monitor and still share it with everyone else. Lately during the monthly meetings I've been stressing the importance of security.
Hahahaha.. Seriously, I'd love to see some decent sized organizations with Open Office. If I could find one organization with atleast 30 people all using open office, then I'd be one step closer to convincing the CEO that we could go Open Office.
I remember being a young kid, sitting in my bedroom working on my computer and after a reboot hearing those Chimes of Death. Scared the poo out of me. Probably one of my first SUCCESSFUL major troubleshooting situations.
Thats too bad. Maybe I'm out of the slashdot loop but is there any solution in the works on mirroring sites before unleashing holy slashdotting upon them?
Funny first the Microsoft Hacker Proof ad gets pulled by the ASA and now they refuse to fix an exploit in an OS that is still in a majority of the organizations out there. When you look around most people are slowly making the move toward 2k AD setup but most organizations still stand by their NT4 domain setups. Most folks can block the port but the solution isn't coming from Microsoft and when you pay the amount that you do for the licensing you expect the company to actually back you (I know, I know it is M$).
This is actually helping me work linux into our organization. An insurance agency even. And I thought that this task was going to be impossible.
People still buy software in stores? You don't see many stores that actually carry a large selection of software. A few nitch ones here and there and a few big guys to give those people who resist change some place to shop. No doubt Microsoft will push hard for DRM but I don't think that this is one of them. Sounds like marketting to me.
Instead of the ad showing the greasy hacker it should show the hacker with huge muscles and maybe like laser beams shooting from its eyes as it thrives in the microsoft environment. I bet then they'd run the ad.
Uh oh.. I imagine now when I return home all my ranting of "never seen a heatsink just fall off", will result in my heatsink hanging by the fan power wire.
Bah! =) I've never seen this happen, of all the hardware reviews I've done, never once have I had a heatsink fall off. I've seen plenty of fans fail, but never seen the heatsink itself fall off and I seriously doubt heatsinks falling off is as much of a concern as fans dying for the everyday user. Even in the video you see the trouble they have removing the heatsink.
Come on now folks. A real test would be to stop the fan, how often does the actual heatsink fall off? Why make a video where someone struggles to remove the heatsink, those things clip down hard for a reason. Fan failure would of been a far more logical test video.

Man I doubt it, we have so many worthless computers and after 50 or so 486s I'm sure you'd have your fill.
I like after some kid is trash talking around and then you hear his mom walk in the room "Bobby it is 2 hours past your bedtime, time for bed".
Muhaha..
