Naw, that wouldn't be conspicuous at all. Honey I'll be back in 4 hours. I have to drive to the hills for another business meeting. Traditionally this has been done in strip clubs, or is that what you meant by "wooded area"?
Just a thought: If you've implemented an RSA tokens for dialup/vpn access you may be able to use them to authenticate to a ssl webpage tied to a database containing the passwords. Don't know if Java,.net, etc can hold them in protected memory, you may have to write a client side app for that. Or I suppose you could just risk other processes reading that memory segment.
Myself I power my whole setup off a giant water wheel under my sink faucet. Sure I use 5000 gal of water a day but the energy savings to the environment is worth it.
If you can get to the laptop you can install a keylogger and probably obtain their identity. Or if you just start serving up mp3 torrents and send taunting emails to the RIAA knuckleheads. Justice may come in the form of a $10K lawsuit.
I can just see my parents employing Reverse XRF Calcium imaging on all my 20 year old report cards to detect those F's that I cleverly transformed into B's. They're going to be soo mad I'll get a beating for sure.
Why not prohibit cell phones in any condition other than cruising? Certainly here, a temporary glitch in the gps system isn't going to cause a crash. If problems (or the potential for one) arises, the Captain can instruct people to shut them off.
Open, neighborhood wireless access points are becoming a hot topic. I just heard a story on NPR's All Things Considered talking about how they're great and easy to set up.
ISPs don't like open access points (recall the Bellsouth-New Orleans story). This is likely because it increases circuit utilization, limits overselling, and ultimately affects their revenue stream. It's in their best interest to discourage sharing bandwidth with an open AP. They also have the ability to monitor everyone's traffic. Now, who do you think the tip came from?
Yes the technology is in place but is believed to have been activated due to the incompetence of a single broadcaster who erroneously set flags on all of its programming. Read the blogs, most come to this conclusion.
The solution is to not expose SSH to the Net without disabling interactive authentication. IMHO anyone not using certificates or IP access-lists is being negligent.

Sure, having your box lock up is annoying but are any critical systems running on Windows XP? Would any real loss occur from successful exploitation? Unlikely.
Most of the women I know in the industry are in the graphic design side. Simply put, everybody was scurrying to gain web presence because it was the cool thing to do and would instantly boost revenue. Now that the trend has thankfully worn off (I mean why does a plumber need a website?) the demand for web designers has significantly declined.
Note: I'm not saying that women can't do more than make things pretty. I know some very talented she-nix admins, so don't go into that feministic guy bashing mode we all adore so much.
That is only half the point. Someone who is willing to work for such a slime ball company has displayed their willingness to promote/defend the unethical (read: "evil") activities of whatever institution is paying them.
Sadly, sticking to your convictions of what's right and wrong, and maintaining one's integrity isn't very prevalent in the Administration.
So why would a Fed performing a forensic analysis be packing? You seem to be glorifying the roll a bit. It isn't sexy work, but rather slow, thorough, deliberate and methodical (read: tedius, dull, boring, lots of protocol busywork).
The topic of this thread is that linux based routers will put Cisco out of business. I disagree because the lion share of Cisco's revenue comes from enterprise corporations and service providers who buy very large and very expensive equipment that is designed to reliably push data at the fastest speeds possible. You're obviously much smarter than me, however, since you so expertly deduced that I really just don't like linux as a router. What a strikingly persuasive argument.
I have worked with Win32, Linux, bsd and Solaris to capture, manipulate, firewall, store, and account data flows up to and including giabit speeds off the core of networks up to 220K nodes. Where is your experience?
You can saturate a gigabit line huh? How are you measuring this? By the steady blinking of your dlink hub? Can you maintain that bit rate or just burst it? Do you realize that the raw throughput of a 33mhz, 32bit pci bus is 1Gbps? The Cisco 6509 with the Sup720 has a 720Gbps switch fabric and can handle 400 million packets per second. Are you still going to argue that they have the same capacity?
You're right, 99% of companies out there would get along just fine using a linux based router. My point is that needs of the remaining 1% aren't going to be satisfied by anything other than specialized networking hardware and this Cisco's core business.

Just my humble opinion, but anyone who supports SCO behavior though financial backing is just as ethically liable as those bastards.

Not condoning theft, just acknowledging it.

Sounds like me holding on to my college texts as if one day I'll re-read them and feel smart again.
Ok so no more floppy...
Msoft, Dell, HP & others: Please stop distributing software that will only autoextract onto them!
Msoft: please let us use usb fobs to install drivers during Windows installations.
Industry & Manufacturers: please develop and conform to some standardized usb-boot bios extension.
If I had a dime for every time I had to transplant a floppy drive I'd have a sandwitch.
Anyone known what preventative measure they're looking to employ?
* hydrophobic coating on lines?
* insulation on lines?
* heat tracing lines?
* mechanical deicing?
* chemical deicing?
* trained, highly skilled gerbils? --my vote
Hey, don't taunt Enterprise Software, it once ate my cat.

It'll be interesting to see what the Apple design team comes up for the external blue ray drives. Wonder what color they'll be...
Whatever absurd legislation this Administration comes up with, Canada will eventually be pressured into adopting so go ahead and laugh now.
