A UPS/w insurance and backups is the obvious answer, but they are not very effective if your
electrical system has poor grounding. I have seperate grounding for my computer room. I went to the hardware store and got a grounding electrode kit which came with bolts, that and 10 guage wire, I connected it to the already existing ground wire.
The DoD also dumped alot of money into looking at
implementing vmware at about the same time the
announcement came out that the NSA was working
on a security hardened/audited source Linux kernel. BigBrother Hat, running Linux kernel
2.4.5-nsa1 running StarOffice, and for the slow computer users, running vmware+windows and staroffice.
About 1 in 4 times the scan can get gets tracked to an actual subscriber, or the sysadmin of the compromised system can track them down. The attacker then gets their internet service
disconnected. It also gives you plenty of material
to provide law enforcement.
As a network administrator for a large ISP, I deal with about 4 or 5 major scans in a 24 hour period. On weekends, it can be twice that. The time it takes to track down the IPs mainly
with ARIN or APNIC (75% of all scans come from.kr) and cross reference firewall scans with server logs and then e-mail the sysadmins adds up.
It gets old, and little script kiddies who want
to be k-rad ub3r 31337 are the cause. They should not get criminal charges, but their ISPs should
be required to terminate their(or more likely, mommy and daddy's account).

The speed of light kind of limits your
latency with a geosync satellite to ~300-350 ms.
Once you factor in their internal network and gateway latencies, it is more like 375-425 ms.
Download speeds were no greater than 256kb and were more like 128Kb. If you think "rain fade"
affects your satellite when watching TV, wait until you are on the internet. I've messed around with my friend's system and the connection really does suck. Maybe they will come to their senses and setup cable modem service, or preferably for people close-by, DSL.

This has nothing to do with open source.
Securing a machine where people are shelling is difficult, even with chroot'd environment.
It would have happened just as easy on Solaris, Aix, or BSD.
I like these people that play computer games
all day and night for years. They never learn anything new, except for where to get the latest
Detonator drivers or stupid Quake tricks. Dont get
me wrong, I like to play games, but I am not
dork about it. Alot of my friends went from
working on legitimate projects, to sitting,
and playing. That is ALL that they do. People
call them nerds and geeks, they do not deserve that title. They are more like dorks.
I cannot remember where I found them, if you have ever read their OT texts(for example if you pay 300,000 dollars, they will teach you how Jesus
was a pedophile). A million dollars and you get to hear about when they are in control of the world, non-converts will be put in facilities to be re-educated. It is pretty scary stuff, and cannot see intelligent people getting involved in it.
Even alot of bib time hollywood scientologists (many of whom owe their jobs to scientology) are finally speaking out against it(Tom Cruise for example.) I just found this site:

I like Sun hardware, don't get me wrong.
But, it is VERY expensive. That makes the market really small. Why spend 3500 dollars for your Linux box when you can get a pretty fast x86
or alpha system much cheaper. The cost of putting together a distribution, documenting, and marketing it for such a niche market does not seem
profitable, if at all.
5 or 6 years ago when DoomII was all the rage
I modeled one of my high school buildings
I was going to tak pictures of the brick, ceiling,floor, etc and use them as "textures" (in d2 i wouldnt call them "textures".) Digital cameras for the masses was almost nonexistent back then. I used a Polaroid camera and a 300dpi flatbat SCSI. I wanted to do a Carmegeddon/QuakeII/III type of game.

John Dvorak is a whiny windows-bitch. I cannot stand him.

Smoke a joint, drink a beer.. "Lower Back Pain" is kind off topic for slashdot..
You are very right.

Well, you tried to help them and they were a$$holes about it, let your local script kiddies in on it.

I had this problem when I enabled it on our mailserver. Apparently it was related to certain types of firewalls, albeit older ones.

People can secondarily hear some frequency ranges above 20KHz, up to the 100's. It is a resonance effect in the skull that is the main cause.
