That's why a lot of people from other fields do well with computer and networking stuff. It's just another problem to solve. They already know how to think.
Internal hosts aren't typically firewalled from each other in the enterprise. Critical systems, although they should be, aren't either.
What scares me is SCADA networks getting hit with this type of thing. It only takes one idiot user opening one email attachment or hitting one nefarious web site.
Give out only your home number to people who you don't need pictures, text messages, whatever from.
Forward the home number to your mobile while away, and let the home asterisk box do the fun stuff
Profit!
Bonus, if so inclined and have a gps-enabled phone: Write an app for the mobile that automatically sets up the forward as you leave/arrive at the house.
I should patent this...
Actually, if it weren't for piracy, Microsoft would never have dominated the market in the first place. People buy at work what they have used at home. I can't justify paying $500+ for software I use only when re-writing a resume every few years or so.
I would normally agree, but in this case I think if you don't know about different WMs and their history, you are probably on the wrong site. It's sad that everyone these days thinks that Gnome or KDE are the only things out there. I personally did try E long ago, but didn't like having to hand-configure everything, so ended up using Windowmaker. If I want a file manager/app launcher, I turn to Rox.
Just raise them to know what's going on, and monitor them (and let them know you are monitoring them). Either run your own mail server that CC's everything to you, run mailsnarf, or give them accounts that you also have access to.
Indeed. I was captain of my cross country team, and set some course records even. I got a 'C' in gym that year. No kidding. I always went to gym class, and always accomplished what they wanted. It was a popularity thing, and at my redneck school, football, baseball, and wrestling were all that mattered. I was also a 'band fag' which probably contributed to the bigoted low mark.
the difference, of course, is that guns, refrigerators, pens, book bindings, and shopping carts are physical objects, that would require some capital to prototype and build. Patents are a good thing for those who would like to take an actual invention to production (patents should not be granted if you have no such intent, and can't create, or work with a company to create, a prototype). It protects their idea from being stolen by those with ridiculous amounts of capital, before they themselves can capitalize on their idea. Not so much with some words and math. Why not patent the content of books, then? Patent the computer, sure. Even patent the book. But to patent the contents you can put into them? I don't think so.
Language is just language. Yes, you have a point if you are talking about somebody with a bullhorn disturbing the peace. This is not the case of a myspace page, which can quite simply be ignored. It's not in your face, it's not published on public property, or the shool's for that matter. What is the problem? I haven't read the page in question, but if it is not threatening anybody, what is the problem?
And then we need to keep one other thing in mind: riders. Legislation that gets ONE vote often contains extra pieces of legislation that has nothing to do with the original legislation. This is why I agree with notion that the president should have a line-item veto power, and I feel that way regardless who is in office.
How about instead, solve the core problem. Get rid of riders.
get a pay as you go flip phone. That's what I did until I started dating a girl who depended so damned heavily on SMS messaging, and I ended up buying a BB Curve. Push mail from my own servers is pretty convenient though.
I'd just be happy if my blackberry curve had the things available to it that my old palm pilot did. Saving data files on it, along with quality open source software is apparently an alien concept in the blackberry world. It exists, but it's scarce and of low quality. Much of the pay stuff isn't much better.

duh.
if businesses want to change their hours to take advantage of light differences, fine, but there's no practical reason to change the damned time.
Then what is the point of using RFID in the first place? If you need to see the actual passport anyway, why not use magstripe or barcodes? *sigh*

ldap, nis, etc.
All bets are off in most organizations when that one user hits that one web site or opens that one email.
and if so inclined, a powerful, albeit far more involved to set up, linux option is to use vgetty:

One of these days, in my copious spare time...

Ummm. Ever done a forensic investigation on anything related to computers or networks?

and what, exactly, do you need with a 64 bit flash player? Downloading some 20GB animations, are we?
They can remove it all they want. Do you really think that even today Microsoft has any significant role at all in the projects on the DREN?
They are your kids, not mine.

...when do the brilliant kids get their special treatment? If they are excelling, shouldn't something be done to help *them*?

Actually, 1994 was the year it all started going downhill. The coming of the web, and that stupid Time article on pornography.

See subject.
how does one further their education, regarding creativity on the computers themselves, with a closed system?
That's why I tagged it badheadline, which didn't seem to take.

You forgot RIM, and eventually openmoko.
