A lawyer would write the letters necessary to have passwords reset on the public accounts for the family to access. You're not going to find evidence of accidental death in the computer (unless he programmed with some AI, which killed him). A lawyer would also be able to work with the Medical Examiner to see what could be done.
Doing anything else is just asking "i need someone who can hax0r gmail and my buddy's laptop". Go read skript-kiddie boards and stop wasting our time.
And seriously. If I see a response about "they can't afford a funeral, let alone a lawyer", then you guys are truly hopeless if you don't know to call your local bar association for help.
The cisco routers are no more than what you're suggesting anyways. The routers run on motorola 68030s. Like your old macintosh you threw out or use as a fishtank now.
They run code to route packets on a "general purpose processor." Kinda like your 386 with BSD, except without the bloated kernel.
If you want speed and efficiency, move to a Multilayer switch, where the decisions are done in ASICs.
After paying 3 times as much for an apple laptop, you think the users would be able to afford a pay-to-play wi-fi spot?
Or even copping up the cost of broadband at home?
Or maybe the apple laptops in the free wi-fi coffee shops is like the guy with the small penis pulling up in his ferrari to the starbucks. "See my expensive toy?"
So you can put in your IPO literature that you spent 1.5 million american dollars on such cool geekness as a nuclear hardened bunker. So that, even when the fallout settles, and nobody's left to run the servers, and most of the copper lines leading anywhere have been sizzled to a crisp, that joe buttfuck in poduca, kentucky can still buy his koscher pigs feet online.
It's kinda like people who buy Ferraris. You can't really do 170 MPH on the road... and even if you could, traffic would stop you from getting that fast. So why do people buy them? To show off. It's kind of a personal marketing, if you will. Completely useless in the long run, but it makes you look kewl now.
Umm, the whole concept of Packet Switching was designed in order to provide crucial communications in the event of a nuclear attack. If site A gets nuked, you can still get from site B to site Z, it just takes a little bit longer.
This is different from what they had for Circuit Switching back in the early 60s.
They found a natural benefit to packet switching as it tried to find routes, that you could disconnect nodes, and still get data through.
There is hardly any single point of contact on the internet. There are multiple major backbone providers, and if one gets taken out, I don't think any traffic would have a problem getting through.
However, if we're in the middle of a nuclear attack from some rogue nation... I don't think Joe Buttfuck in Poduca, Kentucky is really going to care whether his ebusiness site is selling his koscher pigs feet.
In today's day and age, when you open the package that holds the CDs, there's a sticker that says "Read the EULA, and only open if you agree to the terms". And then, when you install the program, it asks you if you really do agree.
So now, all they have to do is show a typical install of the program, bring out your computer with the software fully installed, and say "See, the normal steps are thus, and he has it installed.".
It's circumstantial, but that's all they would need. And then you get stuck with the legal bills, eh?
I whore myself out. I put in an 8 hour day, and get a 40hr paycheck at the end of the week. I give 28% to my Pimp, the ostentatious US Government, and I keep the rest.
I'd write a lovely haiku about it, but I'm busy giving my john a work down.
NOT Everybody here on this site is part of the "big is bad" movement where it comes to Microsoft (or anything else).
Try harder next time.
Abuse of power is what most people seem to be against, and coincidentally the "Big Bad" players like Microsoft, RIAA, and MPAA are overextending their reach... [insert obnoxious fair use/security/DMCA/DeCSS code/whatever rant here].

Yeah, who knows how many nukes they have on that thing! I mean, they might say they're aiming for the south pacific, but just a few more adjustments, and there goes Silicon Valley!
wow, how incredibly awe inspiring.
pragmatism dictates that i use linux for my networking needs, and windows for my entertainment needs. I wouldn't use a windows box for rendering extreme graphics movies... I'd use a sgi. Does that mean that an sgi is better than windows or linux? Jesus Christ, you zealots all sound alike. "My OS Can kick Your OS's ass" "Nuh uh!".
Since you can patent "Business Models" then someone should patent that.
And sue all these idiots who are suing over patent infringement. Because, of course, it's YOUR business model.
Except more outcry against the school could damage the kids even more (remember, they got in trouble for "disparaging the reputation of the school". If people end up calling the school on this case, it's only more proof of the purported "Wrong Doing" they had committed, and could get them suspended again, or even expelled for all the trouble caused.
A lot of people hack shit for the challenge. The problem is that, with thousands of copies of games that need to be authenticated, it's not like once some little warezpup goes and makes a hack of it, that they can go and fix it...
I can understand this working for networkable PS2 games [ie, Quake 9 or some ungodly incarnation] where you kill your opponents over the internet... but for single player type games [Final Fantasy?] that doesn't directly need networking, they're going to require some sort of internet connection? Seems ridiculous. So not only do I have to pay $80 for a game, and $40 for @home service, and then another $20 for the SonyNetwork gaming network or whatever, then I also have to authenticate those same games over the internet. How hokey.
It seems to me the idiots whom were actually involved in the suspension should take a paycut to cover the cost of their stupidity/mistake/overzealousness. That way, those who were stupid pay, the rest of the students get the same education, and everything os koscher. No hard feelings, right? heh.

Largely open source of which not much is actually "open", right?

MPAA is the one involved in the DeCSS case, RIAA is involved in the Napster issues. But good point none the less. :)
