Oh no, they used normal boring beige/grey cables for most of the 90s, but starting with the g3 smurf tower, they used translucent ones, and now they use snug fitting ones the same color as the g5s (on g5s..) and snow white ones on eMacs etc;)
This power cord provenance however lets me know it came with a Mac 128K. In 1987, I unplugged it from the Mac 128K it came with, and took both it an the Mac 128K away, then returned several days later with a brand new Mac Plus and plugged that in using its own cables. I know zee truth!:D
This little button has saved my ass many times, especially in a PowerMac 5500 I had which needed it pressed every time you changed a PCI/CSII card, RAM, HDD etc.. sometimes the video modes would screw up and only let me use 800x600, but the CUDA button fixed that.

You work in voice presumably (layer 1 of the 7 layer OSI model) . Verizon are also an IP transit company. It seems like RIAA and friends want them to monitor layer 6 data, session content. The part of Verizon responsible for IP transit would have slightly better systems in place to do things like this.
In some cases, it really is that bad. In others, especially out where he's going, it's a lot less than that. I remember living several places within 3 hours outside Perth in the mid 80s which didn't have mains electricity. Fun times:)
And we have almost universal phone service. In many remote areas, Telstra, while sucking in oh-so-many-ways, has very cool payphones that have solar panels on the roof and satcom gear hidden up there too. They're basically an entirely self-contained payphone. You put them down somewhere, point the antenna, and hey presto, phone service. Local call area is the size of Europe in some cases, but has only 20 other phones in it, etc.:)

No, it's probably just a whole lot easier to set the "profile acls = yes" option in the smb.conf;p
It's a fair enough question.. one that someone asked Tridge at LCA2003.
Basically no.
Buffer overflows in RPC are due to server programming, and since both are entirely different server codebases, they don't share vulnerabilities. But the Samba team have found many of these RPC bugs with windows;)

It's accessable from the MMC on each client machine, or alternatively if you have a recent enough samba, there's a "profile acls = yes" option you can set in the smb.conf
We decided it wasn't.. we had the option of trusting an NT4 server at work, but it kept timeing out on trust exchanges due to a firewall change.

Samba 2.2.x + XP + SP1 requires some tweaking to do domain logons for XP clients.
Basic file sharing is fine, but if you're using Samba as a domain controller, you need to set a SignOrSeal reg value off to allow domain logons and also unset a "check profile ownership acls" setting which was introduced by SP1.

So what they mean is, unless you get sued... You crash a car into someone. You say you were going under the limit, the insurance company knows your car has one of these black boxes in it. Insurance company says to court "we don't think he was going the limit due to skid marks/someone saying he looked like he was going pretty fast/previous record", gets court order, information obtained, insurance claim denied. say the person you hit wants a piece of the actio, they say "his insurance company isn't paying out, I think he was going too fast, give me the black box data", gets a court order, sues your ass off.
So basically it's as useful as the constitutional amendments that begin "Congress shall make no law..." and end in "unless it makes a law that says it can"
But he's a bad bad man when it comes to laptops. According to his ozlabs friends, he's destroyed more than anyone elses. This is a pictures of his powerbook G4 *sob* the poor thing.
If I had to use windows lab systems administered by cretins who didn't know how to/remember to turn off booting from CD, I would want to run my own OS too.
Different electric companies DO produce different types of power.. In fact, even the SAME electric company produces different types of power.. you'll often find variations of +/-20V in electricity supply voltages. This can cause all manner of fun when it's actually at the extremes of this +/-:)
Hmmm I stayed a few places in japan, and while they all offered Internet access, it was all NAT'ed by upstream providers. They were all provided by cable internet.
You won't be able to find a marked down TiBook when the new ones come out. As it is, in Australia, there are no TiBooks available. You can't buy a new one for love or money. I suspect you'll find many other markets are like that.
Of course, in the US with the infinite number of resellers, I'm sure you'ld find SOMEWHERE with one if you really wanted to buy something which has only had minor revs since Jan 2001... CPU speed bumps from 400mhz -> 1ghz, video from 16M Rage Mobility -> 64MB Radeon 9000 and a superdrive are about the only changes so far.
FX5200 mobility chipsets are around in the PC laptop world, so I would be surprised if Apple didn't use them.
Really though, why should an ISP provide a shell account when they have webmail? Opera was getting abused by people to get around traffic limitations, just like the new shell.iinet will be. Almost no other ISPs in Australia and pretty much none in the US offer shell accounts. It's not an ISPs core business. If you want a machine you can access remotely, get a permanent connection and set one up yourself.

I'm still using a power cord from a 1984 vintage Mac 128K. I know it's from that cause there's an Apple embossed in the plug.

Oh totally, I'm just saying that there are parts of Verizon et. al which have more sophisticated hardware than multimeters and handsets.
I agree 100% that ISPs should NOT do content inspection without warrants or for diagnosis of network problems.

"perfect" enforcement of laws is a sign of a police state. If no-one is affected when you break the law, why should you be punished? :)
No, not at all, but my point is that this new law would be useless for all intents and purposes.
So what they mean is, unless you get sued... You crash a car into someone. You say you were going under the limit, the insurance company knows your car has one of these black boxes in it. Insurance company says to court "we don't think he was going the limit due to skid marks/someone saying he looked like he was going pretty fast/previous record", gets court order, information obtained, insurance claim denied. say the person you hit wants a piece of the actio, they say "his insurance company isn't paying out, I think he was going too fast, give me the black box data", gets a court order, sues your ass off.
