My school offers 3 degrees in the Computer Science Engineering department: CSE, CS, and SE. There's a comparison of each degree here. I think these programs are well-balanced, and a good separation of the fields that you are talking about. I chose the SE path because I enjoy the design process of thinking, planning, and adjusting based on project requirements much more than I enjoy cranking out code (although I've lost much sleep and a couple of girlfriends due to late night coding frenzies). I'm still young, and in school, but I would love to be able to work on a large software project in a team environment with capable peers. In fact, I'd love to be able to work on a project with gods, so I can soak up as much as possible. I love this stuff!
I'll name it the Patriotic Millenium Computer Homeland Security Group. Anyone who wants to apply for a job please email me. Requirements are low, and I can't really pay you anything, but at least you'll be a Computer Security Professional.
As I understand the TCP/IP protocol, under your scheme the packets would never reach your intended destination.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the TTL is decremented at each router hop between the source address and the destination address. I would think it would be unlikely that there would only be one hop between you and a given user on the Gnutella network.
Don't flame me if I'm wrong, but please do correct me if I need it.
I've messed around with the Eltron label printers before, and they're simple to print to in Linux. Here are the manuals (including programming manuals) for the card printers.
They simply take clear text commands via parallel or serial ports that can be scripted easily in your favorite dialect. I actually wrote my stuff in C, sending the commands out the serial port. I'm sure there are other interfaces too, but parallel and serial are so simple.
No Windows drivers are needed. No CUPS/LPRng drivers are needed.
...doing it the old fashioned way? Just slip the cable modem guy $80 like I did, and voila! All the cable channels available right there on my tv. Local stations, tons of movie channels, everything they offer in my area.
When my roommate moved out (the internet service was in his name), we lost the cable tv. But I'm clever. The kid who came out to install the new service seemed pissy, so I asked him if he would make the run to a different room on the other side of the house, figuring he wouldn't really want to. He started to give me reasons why he couldn't, but then I said hey - leave it where it is and just turn my cable tv back on. In 10 minutes, everything was back to normal and I haven't had a minute of downtime since, and that was over 2 years ago.
I didn't mean to type air-to-air. I don't think unmanned aircraft are quite at the point yet where they can engage in air-to-air combat. There will be no Predator dogfights anytime soon.
The Predator can carry 2 air-to-air missles. Originally, it wasn't designed to carry any armament at all, but to carry out recon-type missions. The missles were, I believe, added specifically for Operation Enduring Freedom. I could be wrong about that though.
Here I am reading stupid-ass Slashdot retard pseudo-code jokes (and watching those jokes get picked apart by people with too much time on their hands) and what's the first thing that goes through my head?
You didn't mention exactly what these desktops are used for, but I imagine it's the typical office apps/web surfing/email duty that most business desktops are used for.
Given that, what's wrong with 400MHz? I don't see how a CPU can "show it's age" by doing the same tasks it was capable of a few years ago. My grandpa is a different matter altogether. He's a *lot* slower than he used to be three years ago.
I assume these PC's got the job done at the time they were purchased. Have your users' needs changed? Maybe that upgrade to Win2K was counter-productive. My boss keeps buying Dells with Win2K and XP even though he says every day how much he hates it. I have refused to give up my reliable 98SE desktop (333MHz Celeron) because it is everything I need to do my job.
I guess I just don't understand how the performance of a CPU could be perceived to degrade over time.
I imagine cash-strapped folks aren't the customer base they're looking for. People with lots of disposable income who are willing to spend $$$ for the 'top-of-the-line' CPU for their word-processing apps and CD-burning software are a much more attractive target I'm sure.
170mm squared is exactly that - 170mm x 170mm. It is a description of how to get the area of the surface.
170 square units (units being mm in this case) is distinctly different. It is a measurement of area.

I only play single-player games, so I shouldn't have to put up with stories about multi player games, so I need to be able to filter those out.
I don't really care about other people's opinions, so I need to be able to mask interviews too.
I'm not too bright, so stories about genetic research go right over my head, and I need a checkbox so I don't have to see those.
I don't have a laptop, I don't travel anywhere, and I only use ethernet networks, so I really don't want to see all those annoying stories about wireless protocols either!
I'm a frequent visitor of Half-Price Books, Barnes & Noble, et al., and I usually glance right past the 24-hour/teach yourself/learn-by-osmosis fluff.
Good books focus on one subject, and exhaust it. Rarely do books succeed at covering a broader range of topics, and even when they do, they are well-tied-together in the book (there are some good general Linux programming books that were great introductions for me).
I buy in-depth, comprehensive references for specific subjects, even when I don't need them! In fact, I have the entire set of X programming/user/admin books, even though I don't think I'll ever write my own widget library or window manager. I bought them because:
A) they are detailed, thorough, and excellent references
B) because they look good on the bookshelf
C) because they were $6 apiece at H-PB.
As far as on-line books/docs go, I much prefer to have the dead-tree sititng on my desk, or to read in a chair or in bed. Most of the time on-line books or ebooks are just too inconvenient.
This is assuming that not only is the web server running behind the firewall, but that www requests to the firewall are being forwarded to the internal webserver.
It seems to me that the only people who are going to be able to set up such port-forwarding are admins who know better than to run an IIS web server anyway. Of course, that is only a generalization based on popular sentiment here at/., and not based on any real facts or figures. Given that, however, this method seems rather useless. Another post mentions that the isp can include a client-side script in web page that will return the client's ip address to the web server - which seems like a much better method to find multiple hosts hiding behind the firewall.

Dude - you just saved me a lot of money.
I was about to pay some research group a lot of money to find out what the going rate is for T1's.
Now, thanks to all the kind replies to your post, I see that the fair market value for a dedicated T1 lies somewhere between $200 and $1800 a month!

Yeah - but that's where the sub's name came from. Both honor a city with a rather large Naval base (Naval air station now).
Yeah - the kind of boat that goes under water.
You could be talking about the USS Corpus Christi or the USS City of Corpus Christi.
Both are named for the Texas Gulf Coast city.

Reminds me of an old ST:TNG (I think, it could have been TOS) episode. The losers must report to a recycling machine after the game is over.
