"The kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained.

Cyanide fishing is just as bad, where divers puff a small amount of cyanide into the water to stun fish before collection.... The other problem is that fish collect toxins in their bodies which then get passed through the food chain, to us.
I fully expected a reply here from this guy http://slashdot.org/~DreadPirateRoberts who claims to have built up a resistance to the powder, but alas, he does not exist. Inconceivable!
It's fixed in the trunk, but will not be fixed in the FF 1.0 branch because the current patch caused too many regressions and would require a serious QA effort to track them all down.
Until then, do ctrl+ then ctrl- to force an increase then decrease of the text without forcing a refresh of the page. This almost always corrects the issue for me.
> Zero-day means the exploit was created on the same day the bug was found...This thing was so simple to exploit that somebody already has a working exploit running.
I don't even think zero-day applies in this case. To me, it sounds more like a Columbus "discovering" America situation. Dutch guy finds an exploit that was already in use by someone.
The easy way to find out exactly how truthful about this they are being is to try to buy one anonymously ith no identification with cash. You simply can't do it here in texas from what I understand. Sure, they can get your plates off the cameras they inevitably install, but simply tracking the comings and goings of a tag is much easier.
It doesn't work that way. Each EZ-Pass tag is tied to specific vehicle(s). For bridge tolls in the Philly area, the system works out how tall your vehicle is and how many axles you have (whether you are towing anything or not) and bills you accordingly. This is done via the photo & a height sensor at the time the tag is read. In exchange for my privacy, I can get through the toll areas faster and usually get a discount on the toll (depending on where I use it).

okay, bad choice of metaphor
How about "bring your bastard red-headed stepchild to work"...
Not sure how small the dust is you are dealing with, or the dimensions of your lab but maybe try what woodworkers use to clean the air of fine dust.
Try looking at something like this that you suspend from the room ceiling. They are usually a squirrel cage blower that sucks the air through a pre-filter to get the big stuff then a second filter to get the tiny stuff and then returns the air to the room. Not the quietest solution (~65dB) but lots of computer labs are pretty noisy. To limit that, put it on a timer to scrub the air during off peak times.
In a 20'x20'x8' room it will change the air over about 8 times an hour, capturing particles down to a few microns. Filters are reusable. All the major wood machinery companies make similar models. Under $250 gets you a unit with remote control (maybe a timer too) or you can get it in kit form where you build the box. A new challenge for case modders out there?

That is a sooo very typical White Trash solution. Good god, howtacky can you be? Hope you were just kiddin, otherwise I pity you and the trailer park from where you hail.
Of course I was kidding, but you just gave me an idea. I can put the red LED's in the eyes of the pink flamingos out in my front yard...
Gravity and H2O. I haven't seen anyone mention water yet.
By having the system in the basement, are you protected from a flood? Whatever backup storage solution you come up with, make sure it takes water damage into account. A spare hard drive in a fireproof safe next to the server won't help much if the basement floods.
Burst pipe, water damage from putting a fire out, storm of the century induced flooding...

I probably still have a copy in the attic somewhere, but I don't think I have any hardware that can run it anymore.
Where have I heard this before? oh yeah:

Can we limit criticizing Google to things it actually does, for example, it's awful search engine?
As opposed to what? I'm curious who you think is doing it better.
Will someone please think of the astrologers!

DIY Linux server on a Saw'd off!
Better yet, a Beowolf cluster of these
Same setup for me and it barely loads after a couple tries. MSIE wouldn't even display it.
Maybe they aren't used to a slashdotting?
Instead call it a deferred success
Fnord!

The human body produces over 20000 BTU's of heat... more during vigorous physical activity... perfect chance for us to get girls!
Helluva way to test that "last man on earth" axiom...
I searched SourceForge for an alternative project but didn't see anything.

Furthermore, why doesn't Microsoft have a security hotline?
