In Smallville Lex Luthor uses a Titanium PowerBook. While he is not yet a criminal master mind in this show, I would not characterise him as a good guy.
While it is not a robust and does not come with all the bells and whistles, you may want to consider using OSXvnc. It's free, provides basic desktop access via a VNC client or Web Browers, and did I mention it's free.
I was very paranoid about the Encrypted packet clause the entire time I had my cable service, since I had multiple reverse SSH tunnels comming in to my home network. What was funny is that I never got in any trouble for that. Rather, when I went to cancel my service I gave the reason as being only 72% uptime over a six month period. (Monitored by BigBrother) I was then told that it was a violation of the TOS to montitor the service in such a way. I laughed and said fine shut me off. I have yet to figure out what verbage in the TOS covers this, but really don't care anymore since I'm cooking on DSL.
Well I just got home and have a 32 day uptime, so either my UPS is working as it should, or these rolling blackouts are about as real as "IT".

I have not seen this issue, and I have played Q3 on it for over 8 hours solid. However I did have a problem with my sound card when I first got the laptop, but Dell support fixed the problem the next day.
I just recently got a cool blue Dell Inspiron 3700 PIII 450mhz 256MB RAM, 12Gig Hard Drive, DVD-ROM Drive. It has turned out to be a great system for games. I play Mechwarrior 3, Quake 3, and Starfleet Command on it all the time. I also purchased a USB Dual-Strike Joy stick (Microsoft can't make a decent OS, but they have some pretty good joysticks), this stick makes playing quake a total blast. I can also use the s-video out jack and play quake through the TV, or a DVD for that matter. It's quite a steal at $3200.00
1. Bandwidth - Can I get DSL there? and How much? 2. What Computer Stores are close? I don't want to Drive hours to buy a new mouse. (or worse yet, buy from egghead.com) 3. Chicks! 4. Bars. 5. What kind of User groups are in the community. 6. How close does a Linux World Convention come to my home. 7. Quality Strip Clubs. 8. Quality HeadShops. 9. Can I get the Sci-Fi Channel? 10. Good Cell/PCS network.
I have been using the F1D066 with foot pedal for over a year now, and it works flawlessly. (even with my wheel mouse). It even can handle a mixture of PS/2 and serial mice. Now if only my Ultra 1 would work with it.
COMDEX is way over rated anyway. It's gotten too big to be of any value anymore. He should stick to smaller shows, like LINUX World! They let 2 penguins in who were nowhere near 18.
I thought it was intresting to see E&Y on the customer list. Being a former Sys Admin there, I can assure you they could easily install this on most of their 70,000 employees laptops with little effort. These are laptops that go everywhere with the consultants and contain a good portion of their buisness and personal life (That is if they have a personal life). The chances the TSS department will abuse this power is VERY high.
I don't know where you live, but here in the Silicon Valley 40K is barely enough to put gas in your car. I sure as hell wouldn't consider it "up there"
It appears that your mind is already made up, so why would you even bother to interview them. Unless you knew what you were doing was wrong by prejudging people, and used the interview as a way to fool those around you to thinking you were actually being objective.
If your not gonna hire them, then dont waste their time interviewing them.
Hmm, ok maybe most Hackers are anti-social, but that's dosn't mean they don't have social skills. Some of the best hacks in history have been achomplished through Social Engineering.
And what's up with this guys Profile. " hackers tend to come from broken families. He said they may also have been subjected to physical or sexual abuse." This fits a whole lot of groups other than hackers. (ie. Strippers/porn stars, Drug Dealers, ect...)

Same here, I have the SD-3109 and it plays flawlessly. I haven't noticed a sluggish response.
How in the world is their Pacbell DSL line handling the Slashdot Effect!
