  1. My thoughts on Ethically Monitoring Your Kid's Net Access · · Score: 1

    Get a program that logs the locations of where the child goes and check the log EVERY DAY!

    Switches may be slightly more expensive, but they provide for larger bandwidth and can multiplex links.

    No, I know that you can't cross over a flourescent light fixture because it causes interference in a electricial impulses (like data on a copper wire).

  4. LAN issues from a Regulation standpoint on The Myriad Ways of Wiring Your Home? · · Score: 1
    I have had to design about twenty immaginary lans for a class I am taking so I have some guidelines that are apperently industry regulations.
    1. When using copper cabling always make sure that the cable does not cross over any of the following Flourescent bulbes, different electrical grounding, electritical conduits, electrified metal conduits, and heating conduits.
    2. When using copper cabling do not put twists or kinks into it. This decreases the electricial conductivity and performance of the link.
    3. When using fiber cabling do not put twists or kinks into it. This decreases bandwidth and could cause the fiber to snap.
    4. Document everything you know about the implementation of the network, from connectors to protocols running on the network. Nothing is not important enough to have in some notebook documenting your network!It is always the one bit of vital data that causes you to spend hours analyzing the network looking for a simple answer that could have taken you 30 seconds to write down in a book.

    The point of having a LAN in your home is to facilitate the transfer of data from one machine to another, if anything else is previnting this then your network is in need of a tune up.

  5. Yahoo selling porn on Slashback: Flesh, Porn, Smells · · Score: 1
    If anybody read the fine print, or for that matter the print it said that users must type in a credit card number so they could access the cite. (as part of a age verification process) Now my problem is people like Dr. Laura and conservitatives feel as though having any porn even if it is restricted to adults is morally WRONG. But sience Yahoo crumbled under the pressure other high level search engines will be doomed to the same failure.

  6. ISP information on Internet Policies in Other Countries? · · Score: 1
    go to the CIA world factbook and look under any nation under communications and you will find information abou their ISPs.

  7. Spam, Forwards, and Luck messages on The Lone Guns Against Spam · · Score: 1
    It's just intresting how about 80% of all e-mail is either Spam, Those realy long forwards that you hate to read because they have like 800 forward headers, or those stupid messages where you read somthing kinda cute but at the end is some sort of "If you do not e-mail this in x minutes you will have bad luck/be unproductive in bed/not see the special treat/not get a $20 gift certificate to Old Navy/not share the love of god"
    Frankly I've had to create Five e-mail accounts just to deal with all of this extraneous junk. It's to the point that I'm probably going to have to create a couple more accounts just to filter the garbage that I get from slashdot and userfriendly.
    Fight against the garbage and help the ones who have yet to see the light.

  8. Many birds with one stone... on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    Better idea... Fry a AOL CD, smear some locally available fecal matter (whatever you see fit to use) on the CD and put a new label on the front of the most disgusting porn you can find. Teach these self centered [self censored comment...............] spam mailers how the annoyed fight back to the world.

  9. Re:back 5 years ago this happened to me... on Student Suspended For Taking Teacher's Challenge · · Score: 1
    Ohhh... Don't get me started on the evils of "secure Novel Networks"

    I have 2 friends who (this year) have cracked every single account and found all the password free ones, found all the password is the same as the username accounts, hacked the OS (Win 98), totally aniholated 10 computers with CMOS viruses, and hacked into the Gradebook for the School District. One of them was expelled from the district. The other had eight days of In School Suspension.

    ZENworks (Zero Effort Networks) is so easy to hack that the network administrator has given up on trying to prevent students to poke around on the servers. If they truly wanted to make a "secure" network and computer they should have used auto-deny-unless-already-permited trafic flow and a heavily modified Linux shell to keep us "students" from getting into sensitive areas of the computer.

    Remember, "An ounce of prevention yeilds a ton of protection!"
