Or if you were really hardcore, and slightly paranoid about the Chinese government sniffing your login details to your home machine, you'ld use SSH to connect to it.
Or even better, use the ssh -L port forwarding command to forward a local port on your machine in china to the squid port on your machine back home and browse the web using your browser of choice;)
It worked in early versions of 9.1 but disabling it was a "feature" of one of the updates. According to Apple it "ran too hot".. and then apple started locking any threads on their boards about it.. Heh.
Perth has a large wireless LAN community access network. See innaloo.net for more details. They use high powered 802.11b gear to set up long range links, which would likely be visible from low flying aircraft. Also see links on that page to other Perth freenet/WLAN's.
I'm lucky to get 30 metres (100ft) range from my Apple Airport gear..
Have you asked nicely to see something in action when next it's being used? Don't try to get to do whatever you want with $50k worth of equipment, it ain't gonna work. Talk to the people responsible for the equipment, find out more about it, then nicely ask if there's a time you could have a look at it being used.
Yes you pay a lot of money, but so does everyone else. Your department doesn't get all the money you pay. They have to fight with every other department for your money. And a "senior undergrad" is about as important as "head janitor" in the university food chain:) There's thousands and thousands of you. If you ever get into post-grad studies, it's a different story:)
I can see why it would go missing.. put yourself in the place of a Dell tech.. you take a computer to bits, change whatever needs to be changed, and then as you're putting it back together, you grab the video card..
Having serviced this laptop about a billion times before, you know it doesn't come with a GF4GO card, so you think this can't be from this laptop.. you spend half an hour looking for the original card, then decide.. screw it, put the GF4GO back into spares, and grab the proper card, put it in and send it back to the customer.
If we're gonna start being that anal about laws.. Dubya better keep his ass out of Australia, or we'll chuck him in jail for failing to prevent the deaths of every person executed while he was governer of Texas.
Clinton was here a few months ago as a private citizen, ie, no diplomatic immunity, and I didn't see him getting booked for failing to prevent the execution of an Australian in about 1994.
To explain my motives, I'm tired of incessantly admining/configuring/fighting the system at home. I have the money to pay Apple to do that for me now. I still advocate Linux on the desktop at work, but I don't get paid to tinker at home.
I'm paid to admin Win95/98/2k/NT/XP (and unix - sun/linux/irix) at work, and this is the exact reason I have a mac at home (and on my desk at work).
I spend enough time fixing other people's systems - I don't want to fix my own. I am provided with a Linux box at work.. but I bought my own iBook (soon to be powerbook G4:D) and use that instead. It can do basically anything the Linux box can (that I would need), and it runs commercial apps.
Just yesterday at work I was talking with a researcher about this.. he was showing me an NTP server he made, using two DGPS units and some embedded ethernet controllers.. he said the accuracy on it was about 40 nanoseconds from UTC..
That should probably be suitable I think:)
http://truetime.net sells some rack GPS-based NTP Servers too.. but I don' know the price.
Indeed. I'm Anglican (if anything), which is an offshoot of the Church of England. And for the love of go... erm.. everything, I wish that seperation of church and state actually happened. In God We Trust is not appropriate for your money either..
So what if your country's godless? most of societies problems are caused by blind obediance to faith. Teen pregnancys, street preachers.. etc:)
Curiously, Allah that muslim's worship is the same god that christians/catholics worship. Not just metaphorically, but the Koran mentions Jesus, Moses and Noah by name. Islam however is based on the word of God/Allah as interpretted by Mohammed, and he is regarded as the infallible final prophet, and no-discussion-will-be-entered-into-on-the-subject- thankyouverymuch.
So if the pledge of allegiance does say "one nation under god", the god it's reffering to is the same one for christians and muslims. However, remember that freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. And zoastrian pagans might have a problem with pledging alliance to god in any way shape or form:)
Note Printing Australia is a company held entirely by the government agency, The Reserve Bank of Australia. They became a company so NPA could make more money for the government by selling its secure printing service to other countries and organisations like banks. Press release is here
An english private company, De La Rue, prints money for most smaller nations, as well as travellers cheques for AMEX and lots of other security printing.
And I have no idea what sort of weirdness you're talking about regarding semi-autos/handgun restriction. Everyone who has a reason for those things get to have them. Sure, the regular public can't buy them, but really, no-one cares here.
You don't keep them symmetrical, you line up the left edge (or I do anyway:)

Urban myth.
The Polymer that the notes were printed on was developed by a government body called CSIRO - Commenwealth Science and Information Research Organisation. Interesting story I read in an Australian Coin and Banknote magazine about how they initially tested their plastic (polymer) notes. CSIRO's research facility had a lot of $7 notes printed up for use internally.
Polymer banknotes do wear out eventually, however more commonly they are removed from circulation because the ink rubs off as they bend. I used to work in a supermarket, and collect banknotes, so I kept an eye on them. We would regularlly have $5 notes (our most common note) in circulation for 5 years, and many longer. In my wallet right now I have a 1996 $20, 1998 and 2001 $5 and a 1999 $50.
Banks use a low heat to flatten them out when they get them, since the polymer does hold creases and bends
As I'm sure someone's about to flame you.. I know what you mean.
MSIE supports PNG just fine.. as inline images. But if you go to a URL which is a PNG image, it won't load, and will try to offer to help you by opening some other app to do it.
And no, MSIE 5.2 doesn't fix this bug, or the other bug I experiance regularlly, where it doesn't put text in javascript popup windows.
Uuuuh.. there's more to Unix than just being POSIX compliant.. I think a fairly major one of these is "not being produced by microsoft and being called windows"
Lots of sites today serve their content from SQL databases. This allows for page looks to be changed easily, articles to be reformatted as needed, and lots of cool stuff like that.
The downside of this is that each instance of a page view needs a connection to the database. SQL databases have a limit on this to keep resource usage down. I think it's a limit of about 30 for mySQL? So if that many people are viewing a page simultaneously, it'll barf, and not display the page.
The other thing is how many http servers to spawn. Apache's conf file has a limit that can be set. I think the default is about 100? Once that many simultaneous requests are received, the site stops responding.. of course, if this number is more than the number of connections allowed to the DB, once the DB connection limit is hit, the site effectively becomes useless.
