I currently use an ActivCard reader flashed with the SCM BIOS (since that's all it is anyway and Panther has a built in driver for it) and a CAC card without any issues.
Safari doesn't support authentication using PKI however I use Firefox as my browser and it works great with my CAC. Look in the FSCP doc to get a handle on how to setup Firefox to work. If you still have trouble drop me a line and I'll help you out.
There are two tracks for Intel processors, OEM and retail.
If I remember right the OEM have something like a 15 day warranty from Intel, after that you need to take it up with your reseller.
The retail CPUs have a three year warranty but they come with a fan designed for the processor right from Intel. It comes as a package and you are only supposed to use the Intel fan, any other will void your warranty.
I imagine getting the fan serves multiple purposes. Did the CPU die because the fan was weak/dead. Did the user swap it out for another unapproved fan, etc.
I wanted a transparent way to access my remote files over SSH since it's the only external access I trust and came upon SHFS a couple of weeks ago.
It has worked out really nice and I now don't have to do the scp or SFTP dance all of the time to edit files on a remote box.
One thing I came across though during "make install" under 2.6 is that the.ko module built for 2.6 that the install process copies to you lib/modules directory didn't work. There was however a.o as well built for 2.6 that worked great after I copied it manually.
"the whole thing reminds me of the well publicised FIST system that was featured on UK TV a few years back - basically trying to bring the infantry soldier into the 21st century using in-helmet HUDs and super smart targeting/comms systems etc... it was developed at the same place I worked but had so many problems i think it was shelved - after huge spending. but then, it did use windows as the underlying OS (don't ask me why), which for a mission-critical system always seemed a bit... stupid."
That sounds very similar to the US project that does the same thing. The "Land Warrior" project has some of the same goals and it's embedded systems initially used Windows as well. Thankfully they learned from their mistake and switched to Linux last year. Something to do with the systems crashing all of the time.:)
I was on it for some experiments in 02 and it was a real impressive boat. The vessel is a proof of concept for what a future command and control ship would be like. Basically the budget is large and they throw everything they can on it to see what good solutions come out.
Not to be outdone the Army also has it's on vessel aptly called the TSV (Theater Support Vessel).
On the HSV the exercise servers/work stations run Windows, if there were "UNIX-ish" systems there they must have been hiding.
The boat itself is sweet, actually very similar to the "Cat" in Maine. That's the ferry from Nova Scotia to Bar Harbor with a top speed of 55(?) knots or so.
You need to connect your N-Gage to the internet via GPRS, dialup or whatever else it might offer. Then you'd SSH to your computer over the internet just like you would normally do from a remote location.
I had putty on my 9290 about 8 months ago now, works great.
It also runs on other Symbian phones like the Sony Ericsson P800 and P900.
Neither have I, but that wasn't the point of my post.
The goal a lot of people have is to make Linux mainstream, that means that less and less knowledgeable users will be using it. If Linux continues to suffer from kernel exploits from time to time just like Windows then those same users will be running executable mail viruses built for Linux just like they do for Windows now.
A lot of people I've seen using Linux have a false sense of security and therefore aren't as careful as they are on Windows (which is a scary thing because we all know how insecure Windows is).
I thought that might be the case as well so I fired up my Dual G5 with Apple's 1.4.2 JDK and I sat at just about the same place as the 1.4.1 entry. I posted my results as well since there were no entries with Apple 1.4.2_03.
We are hiring right now (software developers, and systems engineers) and I know a lot of other companies we work with who are hiring. The problem is that a lot of the graduates we interivew may have a degree with a decent GPA but when you talk to them face to face a lot don't have any connection at all between theory in class and actual practice. For us a degree took a back seat to practical experience.
I've hired 10 people in the last 2 months and I don't take more then a glance at a degree at this point.
I was hired right after I droped out of school three years ago by someone who had the same problem with new employees and I've been moving up ever since.
In this case the user should be considered a trusted client but server side validation is generally considered the proper way to implement data entry (AFAIK). This doesn't allow a whole list of possible problems to be exposed by relying on the clients JS implementation to do the right thing. One of the biggest being the manipulation of the code itself on the client or somewhere between the server and client.
That's a very niave viewpoint to have. If you've been lucky enough to work with and around companies like that then you are one of the few.
Having SCO on your resume will certinaly close a lot of doors that might have been open otherwise. In this economy employers have the luxury to pick and choose so instead of taking a chance on someone who might have had something to do with SCO's actions they would probably step right over and move on.
I can easily believe what he is saying about his experience. I'm currently 22 and started my own company when I was 15. Before that I did work for friends and I think all of that counts at industry experience. Granted it's small potatos to the kind of things most of us do now but it is still experience.

I can see it now, "timeout, my uniform went BSOD"

Slowly but surely as Linux is getting more mainstream it seems the same kind of holes that perpetually plague Windows exist in Linux as well.
It might be time to take a page from the MS book and take a few weeks for a full line by line audit.

Before anyone else makes the comment, I know it's dropped not droped.
