While S/Key and other one-time password systems are a great idea for people who need to roam, unencrypted channels like telnet are still not a good idea. You can learn plenty of useful information just by watching telnet traffic.
With the recent relaxation of encryption regulations in France and the U.S., the time has clearly come for all distributions to include encryption options right out of the box.

Amen brother. I'm just astonished at how good my NeXT was and how long ago it was produced. There are still features in NEXTSTEP that I have yet to see on any other systems I have used.
I'm a four finger typer and I always thought that an ergo keyboards were for dorks and people who were trained to touch type.
After 15 years on the keyboard, (14 when I started - you do the math) I started to feel something weird in the wrists last year.
I bought a MS keyboard this year for home and it took about 2 weeks to get used to it, but I'd never go back. I'll never be as fast as I am on a flat keyboard, but you know what - it doesn't matter. I'm still pretty quick and my wrists feel so much better.
I'm using a flat keyboard at work, and it sucks.
The MS Keyboard and the MS optical mice are both pretty nice.
I agree with one big exception. A lot of people want to listen to radio from other countries or in other languages. This is a descent sized market for a device like this.
The internet rocks for solving distribution problems like this.
It may be fair to ask this question to Transmeta, but it certainly isn't fair to ask Linus why the Company's property isn't released for free.
He's an employee and member of a pretty kick ass team IMHO (plenty of other good minds working at Transmeta). That puts him in a position where he shouldn't and won't talk publically about this issue. This is what it means to be part of a Company. If you want to disagree strongly, go ahead and resign and let the resignation speak for itself. Otherwise, you air your differences in private, work through them, and move forward. Since Linus could obviously work at his pick of Companies, you can assume that he's fine where he's at.
Metacalfe stock just went down a notch for picking an easy target who can't defend himself publicly.
I don't know about other cable networks, but on my cable subnet, I can only see broadcast traffic. You can't not see other people's traffic and you can't sniff jack except your own and broadcast traffic. This is on a road runner netowork.
My spouse has also been waiting 2 1/2 years (since June '97)
After having been through the INS process, I have to say I have a new found respect for the IRS.
By the way, the marriage visa (at least the first one) is just a routine question thing with both people in the room. The do videotape it, but it's no big deal. The don't put you in separate rooms and they don't ask about toothbrush color.
Sorry, but this kind of thinking is sheer fantasy.
Despite all the talk about what great content Time Warner is bringing to the table in this merger, one of the jewels is access to the RR networks for AOL.
AOL will need to migrate their customer base from dial-up to cable/DSL in the next ten years. They sued to get access to the largest cable network (AT&T), and are now simply purchasing access by buying Time Warner.
Don't kid youself. The Roadrunner network will be one of the first pieces of Time Warner to feel the impact of the merger.
The only holdup is that each of the several hundred communities that Time Warner serves exclusively will get to have a say on this merger. But I fully expect them to fall in line and support the deal.
I've been a satisfied RR user for 3 years now, and I can't see anything good coming from this merger.
The problem for me is I simply want access to the 'net. I don't want to buy any value added services from AOL or Time Warner. And in the future envisioned by Steve Case that makes me an undesireable.
The Japanese stock market is in the beginning of (hopefully) a boom. Sony is a huge international brand and it is a very widely held stock. They sell a large number of diverse products. Playstation sales are not going to make or break this stock. This looks like a bunch of over dramatic hype to me.
uptime.exe is nice, but if you don't have it handy, do a "net statistics server".
This will show how long the server service has been running, which is usually equivalent to uptime. It works fine past 49.7 days, I've used this to track uptime on a pool on NT boxes that were up for about 8 months.
I agree that Road Runner is a great way to get to the net, but the service and support pretty much sucks canal water.
They have a 72 hours response time to fix major problems. A major problem to them is anything that can't be fixed with a reboot or a modem reset. This included the time when I moved from one house to another and they deleted my account as part of their order completion process. 72 hours just to have some admin re-create the account!
Anyway, I've had the service for three years now and totally love the speed! I have yet to see the "slowdown" that other cable modem users talk about during peak periods. It just hasn't happened in my neighborhood yet.

Put the camera down! I'm gonna hurl!
Actually, it looks like the news got out early.
VA was up 30 points yesterday, and now those people are profit taking this morning.
You guys are like the Jeffersons, movin' on up!
My wife opened a bank account, got credit cards, and got a drivers license. She didn't have a SSN until a year or two after she did all of this.
My spouse has also been waiting 2 1/2 years (since June '97)

Check out Wells Fargo. They've got everything you need. Checking, Savings, Credit, Brokerage. All of it online.
They have more than a million online customers last I heard and it shows. The service is never down and the customer service is good.
Disclaimer: I do _not_ work for Wells Fargo

Assuming you did your homework and you know the site doesn't have any date problems, why would you take it down?
An internet connected host should be secured anyway, so what's the big deal (other then Year 2000 paranoia)???
I think it's pretty unprofessional to treat this weekend any different from any other end of year.

Unfortunately, you need to run this locally.
Why don't you throw SCSI cards into these Proliants and hook then up to an external highly available RAID box (EMC, IBM, and others)
Use the Compaq stuff only for the OS and swap.
Actually, most support calls cost $245 now.
Did anybody record it. I missed it.
TIA!
I was right in the middle of a kernel compile when I got cut off. Darn!
They used two digit years in this personnumber?
I think all of the cable versus DSL people are seeing things wrong.
The technology isn't nearly as important as the competition.
I have had a cable modem for three years. I'd love to have a DSL competitor in my area so that I could get a better price or maybe switch services.
Just ask anybody who has a choice in Cable TV providers how great competition is!
It's all about having choices.
