I agree with your comment about the IT staff-- however, working for a large company for 7 years in various positions in the IT staff, it's harder than you make it out to be.
We have a lot of people who would be considered "higher up" than most IT folk. Guess what they have?
Laptops.
We don't use XP yet, but do have Black Ice enabled on their systems. We've been bitten too many times by laptop users who take their machines home and happen to get a virus....
Yes, the machines could be locked down more, but it's more a matter of politics here than it is a simple technical fix....
Man that was the most fun I had on a computer for about 5 years. Given that I am more into "action" games now, it is weird to go back and play this game on an emulator, but it was a heck of a game.
Load times were awful... I even used the emulator to "save" a game of mine to a.wav file to listen to the good old sounds of TI saves... I can still remember the start and end sequence "sounds" - probably sync bits to tell the TI that it's starting / finished with data....
On another note, I also used a COCO3 - with the same tape drive. Using Metal tapes (bias wasn't right - had to bulk erase the tape prior to recording) you could put the COCO into high speed mode, which would cut load/save times in half, as long as you weren't too overly concerned with the data.
I mostly used it for interesting Mandlebrot screen saves....
Obviously that is a scenario that I didn't cover... there are a lot of things that would start to become "questionable", but I just wanted to touch on the options available to you if you suspect your significant other of foul play.
Yes, I have had to go this route before. Thank God I wasn't married to the person!
1. Yes, you could run a keylogger etc. 2. No, you cannot use it as evidence.
Therefore, if you suspect your significant other doing things with other people, you could use the keylogger etc to confirm those suspicions. Then do the traditional thing - get pictures in public places. Or hire someone to "follow" the significant other.
That kind of stuff is legal, and as long as you don't rely on the keylogger for ANY evidence, I don't think you'll run into a problem... of course you could always be asked how you found out about the affairs; you could always respond that you didn't feel right about something....
Of course, this is close to lying, but it just depends on your internal ethics. I firmly believe if there's something wrong in the relationship, you have a right to know -- and to be honest, if you're resorting to sniffing packets or keylogging, there probably IS something wrong.
If you can't trust, you may as well be single; that's where you'll end up.
In a corporate environment you have a lotta users sharing one (or a few) internet connections. Where should I open that port up to?
In addition, opening ports basically takes an act of god where I work. We're governed primarily by the rules of the government, and if you happen to sneeze in the wrong place, you have to fill out paperwork. (no, I'm not kidding...)
We recently got a kitten - right before thanksgiving.
Previously (6 months before) we had built a screen for a projector. Obviously, there's a computer hooked up to the projector to play.. ummm.. legit movies.
Anyways, moving the mouse pointer around gets her pretty riled up. She's attempted to grab the cursor a few times - but didn't damage the screen noticibly... Even though we reprimand her, she still loves that cursor!
Our other cat of 5 years hates her, but boy oh boy, when she gets bigger....
You know, some people actually want things that you don't. To them, it's not "wasting" money.
Kinda like how people "with" money sometimes buy cars that I wouldn't be able to get within 5 feet of because of how much it is worth... Just because it is a waste in your eyes doesn't mean it's a waste to the person buying it.
I grew up on a TI99/4A and a Coco3. Gave me wonderful experience trying to program each, with various languages.....
The problem I fell into was that games around the SNES era were starting to hold my attention longer than the NES did, and I started to lose interest in making myself better at other things. That is when it starts to become a problem -- almost like a drug, even....

Man, you need to chill a little. If you get the "gist", why not help instead of smacking the poor poster with technicalities? Maybe another hit of the crack pipe?
FWIW, Red Hat has contributed a fair amount of code to Linux, and it would be bad to black ball them at this point.
They're just making sure the bases are covered so that they're not competing directly with Centos. I imagine a free version of something that is compatible with anything that is RH3.0 Enterprise aware is probably making them shake a little bit; as well, they don't want to field support calls for Centos.
The thing is, though, that every one here had an experience like that.... either through the local Arcade (trips to the mall!!! YAY!) or on their new Nintendo Entertainment System...
My parents regretted buying that thing for me for Christmas... But I think I turned out O.K. Just took the slipping of some grades to show me that I couldn't just veg out in front of it and ignore my other responsibilities... (Yes, my parents "attempted" to limit my time on it, so it wasn't their fault....)

Actually, there are 2 grooves (usually) on a record.

One on Side A, one on Side B.

Or we could just outright ignore them, and they'd go away.
Some people have a reason to use the AC - in case they're posting about something they don't want blatently linked to, etc.
But yes, ACs can be annoying. Usually it's just trolling though....
That would be a "pounding", not a "paddling".
If you don't know the difference, well... ask someone else.
I like telling people (when I'm doing bad) that the Aimbot I wrote sucks.
I would say that this would mean a few things:

and then slap the idiot kid so hard with the book that his great great grandfather would feel it.
Man, if you slapped me that hard, I don't think I'd be alive anymore. Although I do know for a fact that getting slapped with a book hurts like hell.
It's 99.9% certain that the person hearing the word will understand whether or not it's of the 'flaming' variety,
Walking around downtown with a friend of mine, it's easy to tell who is of the "flaming" variety just by listening.
Call 'em glitter girls or whatever, it's kinda crazy down there.
Getting into fights with racoons, other cats, kids, dogs and cars?
Fights with cars? I'll bet the cat ALWAYS loses that battle... unless the car is sitting still.

What if I don't like her music?
Seriously though, it would be a good cause, but I may as well just flush my money down the toilet to make sure the RIAA doesn't get it....
As long as I don't see RIAA trucks pulling up sewer covers, my money will be safe!
You might need a divorce first.... because if you're still married, you'll definitely need medical insurance.
If that one person were me, I'd go insane.
So no, I don't feel the human race would be at peace.
That's called a woman.

Except that there are no more "free" copies of current RedHat, and I'm pretty sure the older distributions no longer have support, right?

Charge by how many pins the processor has on it.
Kinda gets screwy if you go to a BGA setup, though.
