Using the Finder to access a Windows 2003 SMB share with encryption enabled does not work in 10.3.2. You can use the smbclient utility to do it though, even though it's a hassle.
Anyone want to test this to see if it works through the finder now?
The technology in the firewall industry changes so quickly, books have out of date information the day they get published. One of the best ways to stay abreast is just use mailing lists, forums, and manufacturer websites.
If you're a Netscreen admin, you can always use netscreenforum.com. Yeah, it's a shameless plug, but not many Netscreen customers know about it. Many of Netscreen's own engineers frequent the site, even though it's not run or sponsored by them.
You state that position data is hard to get without a martian gps system.... What about watching the time between pulses on pulsars. This is predictable and accurate, and checking these against a small clock and computer with current positions in the sky should give a reasonably accurate result.
So, if this supposedly causes that much interference, wouldn't it be rather simple to sniff the traffic going across the wire with nothing more than an antenna, an amplifier, and whatever device they are sticking in people's homes? It's like wardriving, but with the ability to sniff a LOT more traffic.

This has been around forever. I remember back in high school you could get chips for domestic cars, but they didn't really give you a significant HP increase. Now, a lot of the imports are turbocharged, and in most cases, the computer controls the boost level. The GIAC X-chip I have in my S4 takes the HP from 240 up to 312, and almost 400 ft/lbs of torque. Add a few more mods, like replacing the horribly restrictive exhaust and downpipes, and a few other goodies, you're looking at nearly 400hp and 450ft/lbs of torque. Another thing they do is remove the stock speed limiter, which is usually either 130mph or 155mph depending on the car.
There's a company called AEM that makes a replacement OBDII compliant computer that you can program yourself. They have it for several different models of cars, and a general one that you can splice in yourself if they don't make the harness for it. It's a pretty nifty little device. My friend bought one for his 3000GT and it allows you to remap timing, fuel maps, and just about everything else, and you can set thresholds too (for example, if you see knock, dump more fuel, if that doesn't solve it, back off the timing). It requires a lot of tuning to get it working right, but if you've invested the time and money to make your car put out 700hp, it's something you pretty much need.
The thing that pisses me off, is there is currently no one making "tunable" computers for Audi right now. We're stuck with what the vendors feed us. So if I want to go and put some big ass Garrett turbos on my car, I don't have the ability to tune the computer properly to use them. Since I'd need bigger fuel injectors to prevent it from leaning out, a comparable pulse width with the bigger injectors would supply too much fuel and it would run extremely rich or not at all.
In any case, some of the detuning is done for emissions purposes, some is done to reduce horsepower to get it in a lower insurance class, and some is done to avoid the dreaded "gas-guzzler" tax. Generally, the european version of the same car has way more power. My old Eclipse had a small plastic sleeve inside the boost solenoid, that when removed gave an extra few pounds of boost. The old Chevy CK work trucks had a panel over part of the airbox to restrict airflow, and if you removed it you got another 25hp.
The IPSec VPN software that is built into panther is missing a lot of features that would make it actually useful. It does not support NAT Traversal, so you can't use it from behind a firewall or NAT device. It does not support XAUTH, which I assume is what your school is using to authenticate you.
You may be able to use the Cisco VPN client though. The GUI for OSX is fairly unconfigurable, but you can edit the.pcf files that describe the connection manually. Cisco has docs on their site of what each line does. I use the Cisco client under OSX to connect to my Netscreen box at home, and I use it for work too. Although, the Netscreen required messing with the.pcf file.
They have Metro Area ethernet in a lot of major cities, and pricing is damn good. Here in Minneapolis, I can do gigabit Fibre Channel between offices. Now that's just damn cool. Not sure about little rock, but it may be worth looking into. Time Warner Telecom has the benefit of being able to use Time Warner Cable's right-of-way. Which means that when they run fiber, they don't have to get permits and go through as much hassle because in the early 80's cable companies were granted huge rights which allowed them to pretty much run cable wherever they pleased without having to get permits. And, if your location makes business sense to TW, they will finance the cost of the install (like if there are other large potential customers in your building).
Although, for the recurring monthly cost of a link like this, after 10 to 12 months, you could have just paid for that wireless solution you were looking at. Keep in mind 802.15.3 wireless is coming out soon too, which will drop costs dramatically.
I used to work at this company that had meetings all the time. People were meeting happy. I finally realized it wasn't because they actually needed to have them, but because everyone was extremely lazy and clueless and wanted to look busy enough not to be fired.
When something would break somewhere in the organization, *EVERY* manager would get on a conference call together. So you have 20 managers on this conference call, and no tech guys. So, you have 20 people, clueless about technology trying to theorize where the problem lies. Then, they would call random tech people and *MAKE* them reboot machines and network equipment until the problem went away. Even if someone found the problem, it was always "try rebooting first, that will fix it faster".
A meeting was also where it was decided that putting an IP Stack on the old Novell 3.51 fileserver was too dangerous, and they needed to continue to use IPX (and make me route it on their already fucked up network). But, they needed it backed up and the backup software needed the IP stack. So, they ran a script every night that installed the IP stack, did the backup, and then uninstalled the IP stack. Fucking brilliant.
Any meeting where a new project or new equipment was being ordered for something was attended only by managers. When one of them would make a suggestion, everyone would just agree because it sounded to them like a good idea. "Hey everyone, we're having trouble with this application we built which originally worked over dialup, but now that it's on the network, data comes back too fast and it crashes". So instead of just fixing their damn app by increasing the buffer size, they tell us (the network guys) to SLOW THE NETWORK DOWN for the app.
There's a poster on despair.com that says "Meetings - None of us are as dumb as all of us"
Too many windows on your screen may tax computer "power" causing animations to run too slowly, but if they're too fast, you might choose to run additional programs to use up computing power and slow the animations.
I do this all the time when my computer at work is working so fast. Start a bunch of programs, sit back in your chair, and slack.
Anyone ever see those books you can get that tell you where to aim your big ugly 10 foot dish and what frequency to use to see interesting things from government satellites, network feeds, and other things?
I wonder if one could use one of those huge old dishes to receive signals from any of the spacecraft on mars. Probably not, I'm sure the antenna technology they are using is much more advanced, but still would be an interesting experiment.
When I went to the U of MN, one of my teachers (I think he was compsci, can't remember for sure), required us to have this photocopied packet for his class. Just a bunch of shit he threw together, maybe 50-75 pages. Except, the bastard charged $25 for it, and told us if he caught anyone photocopying it for others, they would be booted from the class. $25 times ~300 students, that's around $7500 he was raking in for each class every quarter. Keep in mind he did the same thing for his other classes throughout the day. Several people dropped the class and complained, I stayed in the class and pooled my money with about 20 others and got the packet for just over $1 and copied the thing.
Why don't pissed off students use a cheap $60 scanner and the computer their parents bought them and scan their books into pdf format and then distribute them over bittorrent, kazaa, favorite p2p app? Had scanners been this cheap and p2p so prevalent when I went to school, that's what I would have done in an effort to wave my middle finger at the man.:)
I know about virtual pc, but why would I want to run a full copy of windows when I only need to run one app?
If the it holds true that they will be using that other QEwhatever thing instead of bochs, this has the potential to outperform VPC. VPC is sloooow. I've used it, and it sucks. Hopefully the new version will address this issue, but I'd rather use WINE to start just a single app.
Well, try viewing Visio VSD documents under a Mac. Not possible. And for those of us who are network guys, and need to use visio for work, it kind of puts a damper on having a shiny new mac sitting on my desk.
OmniGraffle supports VSX files, but not VSD, which is what everyone is using because Visio defaults to the VSD format when saving.
There are other various apps too that just do not exist on a Mac, but get used by network guys and only run under windows (typically config compare programs, cisco password crackers, etc)
The point is, there needs to be some software that will allow one to move to a mac, but provides some sort of transitional workaround until something native is available.
Is there some sort of "secret" contest going where people try to get the editors of Slashdot to post the oldest articles possible? Is this the new fad since goatse.cx is gone?
A friend of mine got one of the emails, the text of it was very convincing and well written. Normally stuff like this has typos, but this one had a very compelling story to tell and the website for it was quite well done also.
I can see how many people would have been suckered into providing their info.

That would just be plain cool. vinnie.mob and lefty.mob would be great domains.

Your ECU has most of the info you want. Pull it with FreeDiag and output it to the display of your liking.
Make something neat so I can use it too. Your car needs to be OBDII compliant to use it, most (all?) recent cars are.
Word on the street is that Sun is working on a Java implementation of it called J-ISM.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.

How many people submit patches for linux 1.4?
None. It went from 1.3 to 2.0. There is no 1.4.

Just search on google for arcade parts, there are plenty of places that sell them.
Trackballs are expensive though, the one for my Centipede cost me $115. Ouch.

No One Lives Forever 2 is an awesome FPS game. You play a woman spy, back in the 60's. The game is quite humorous too.
However, I heard that it does not yet work with 10.3, which is why I haven't bought it yet.

Unless the patent was filed before 1979, there is plenty of prior art. I remember playing poker and blackjack on my TRS-80 when I was 4 years old.
