Well, this guy is obviously a terrorist. I think bush should invade Australia, try this guy in a secret tribunal and execute him for having the audacity for trying to learn how to fly a 747 in his backyard.
Oh wait, am I a typical American over-reacting and allowing the goverment to do what ever it wants? Even if that includes clobbering the rights and freedoms that are very Constitution gives us?
Ah, who cares, I'm gonna go watch more 'Friends'. When the Fox special, 'Execution Island', comes on maybe I'll watch the first ten minutes.
Get a grip. I agree with the original post. This is X-box advertising plain and simple. Let's see. Somehow mom/dad gets pointed to this article. They know nothing about xbox/ps2, etc. What do they walk away with? Xbox has its share of bad games, but hey the graphics, game speed, everything is the best on the Xbox.
For shame on/. for linking to this trash.
Anybody out there not know there are some really crappy games for all systems?? Anybody out there think Xbox has the Best of everything?
No wonder you are an anonymous coward. Some one shares a valid answer to a asked question and you call them a moron? Shame on you.
I agree the MS version of hibernate can be effective for a full OS freeze but I would also look at how SQL transactions occur. the idea of a transactionlog and update of the DB is what you are looking for. This would not only give you the ability to start/stop at will but would even recover in the event of some type of corruption or system failure.
OK, first off, let's correct some misconceptions folks:
ALOT of people are doing NAT. NAT is not something you have to be a network guru to use. You go buy an $80.00 DLINK firewall or similiar product and guess what? you got nat
#2. Having NAT proves nothing. Anyone who does NOT have a stand alone firewall in front of a PC (or a network) is risking everything. The firewall is the sacrificial lamb. When worse comes to worse let them take the firewall down and leave your PC alone. (Flame away boyoes but this is as true as I can get)
#3. You do NOT spoof a MAC address. MAC addresses are burned into devices as a convienance. The IEEE assigns manufacturers a range so they don't overlap. You can change the MAC address of most devices (though it can be tricky with some MS NIC drivers). The only rule regarding MAC addresses is two machines on the same subnet cannot have the same MAC. OK, they can but you can guess what happens.
#4. So what? They os finger print, they lookup MAC addresses, the determine sequence numbers. Boy are these guys smart! What the hell are they doing working at a cable company?? Think about guys, have you ever called RR or other cable supplier support? They are IDIOTS. I walked them through rebooting a router that had developed a routing loop due to improperly configured RIP (yes, rip). What will most likely happen is they'll accept the limitations of the technology, forget the headaches and then throw money at the problem. Some company will sell them on a new cable modem that automatically "detects" NAT and won't allow it through.
Boy, I remember being a kid in the 70s and the games we played to have two phones in the house...
Or are you suggesting that some one who spends all day with multiple PCs run an inferior solution? Tell ya what if I had unlimited resources I would contact Tom and ask him what he runs for his own system. Think about it. Course, then again if I had unlimited resources mayhap I would have better things to do then sit in front of a puter all day.
OK so this may be a little off topic but here's one for ya. Being a little too overwhelmed with work I didn't want to take the "build your own computer with water cooler solution" and picked up a Compaq EVO500 Small form factor PC dirt cheap on EBAY. Nice and quiet but I am now stuck with a "low profile" AGP card. The included one is dirt slow (NVIDIA Vanta). I found a couple of others GEFORCE2 MX200, etc. But most are crap. Anyone know of a decent "Low Profile" Card?
Not only is the entire article irrelevant but no one uses IP for security anyway! We have SSL, SSH, PGP, etc. Wonder what they are used for... Go ahead, hijeck my SSL session, I dare ya.;)
Plus as one go mentioned "man in the middle" is next to impossible thanks to Cisco's BGP & OSPF protocols.

By your logic the phone company has every right to... do whatever they want to incoming/outgoing voice traffic.
Hmmm. Some one has had way too much coffee me thinks.

Wake-up guys and stop falling for this crap.

don't reinvent the wheel, use it again.
