I fear for the quality of trolling on Slashdot in 2003 if this is the best you can do. If you're going to cut and paste someone elses column as your reply, show a little initiative man, and at least re-word it a little bit.
Walls, schmalls, you may have issues if it's in the same room and you have 802.11b clients. It looks like most of the bandwidth gains go away if you have an active 802.11b client in the area. BuffaloTech review
Sorry, the allegation is that the ticket was altered after the first four races were run, not that it was purchased after the first four races were run.
He placed a pick six bet, which is a bet on what horse is going to win in six different races. For the first four races he picked one horse in each race. On the final two races he picked every horse. If his first four picks were correct he was effectively guaranteed a winning ticket.
He then placed that same bet six different times. The allegation is that the bet was placed after the first four races were already won and the ticket was altered with the names of the winning horses.
Really? I don't agree. I've had cable modem service for a while now. Like most people who got the service a few years ago, I rent my modem. Why? Because a few years ago cable modems were expensive. Really expensive. Even at a $10/month discount, it was something like a three and half year payback if you bought your own modem. And then at the end of three years what do you have? A three year old modem and no guarantee it will work if you move or the cable company upgrades their system.
Recently, things have change. Cable modem prices have plummeted and if you get a deal, the payback time at $10/month has dropped to under a year, so more people have been buying modems. AT&T seems to have adjusted the monthly discount to reflect the lower cost of modems and moved the payback period back out to the three and half year range.
Do I understand why people that bought modems are ticked off? Yeah, they bet that AT&T wouldn't adjust the discount rate to reflect the recent market price of cable modems and lost. But really, there was no reason that AT&T should continue to give a discount that no longer reflected a reasonable lease rate for the equipment, so I really don't think they have a "legitimate gripe".
"White Lilies Island" by Natalie Imbruglia has the logo, but it's imprinted in the plastic on the inside of the case so it would be hard to argue you made any buying decision based on that.
However, they are justified and I'm not doing anything wrong.
If you don't think you're doing anything wrong, then there shouldn't be an issue disclosing what's being done to the person reading the document, right?
Give it a shot, let them know that you're tracking who's reading your resume. I think you'll find the most common reaction will be a quick deletion and a blackhole for your email address. If you're doing something in secret that people wouldn't want you to do if they knew, it's probably wrong. And unethical. And a good reason to get fired if your new employer ever figures it out.
And as an added bonus, there's nothing here that relieves you of the obligation to buy an Exchange CAL for the machine this runs on if you're in an Exchange environment. And guess what you get with the Exchange CAL? That's right, an Outlook license.
While it might be a good alternative in a stand-alone environment, the pricing would make it a hard-sell in a corporate windows environment.
Yes, but that was six years ago. These days in the US, you'd probably have to make a specific request to get an ATM card that doesn't have debit capabilities. Also, the major issuer is VISA, so there really aren't a lot of "debit card terminals", they get processed just like a credit card transaction.
No, not really. IIS the service(s) run as system which is as root-y as you can get. Non-authenticated web sessions connect as IUSR_blah which doesn't get you many rights, that's why you see buffer exploits, the point is to run in the context of the service.
Go to ebaystores and check out the IBM store. They blow out older stock of thinkpads there and sometime you can find a good model at a reasonable price. The really good deals go fast, so you have to act quickly.
root.exe was left from the solaris worm that went around about a month and half ago. You guys have been hacked for a while. Scan your logs for entries that have "cmd.exe" in them and you'll find when you first got smacked.
Yes, but you don't have to fill the whole pipe. It gets channelized into T-1's and you only have to turn on (and pay for) as many as you need. And since you don't have to pay for local access on the the T's, the cost evens out at a pretty low number (7 T's in our case).
You've got to be kidding me. Wait until those Deskpro's hit the one year mark and start falling apart. I've got 70 Deskpro's in a location with about 400 total machines, and they are the bane of my life. The monitors burn out, the keyboards are crap, within four months of buying them we had 25 dead video cards (to Compaq's credit, they did, after several phone calls, replace the cards in all the machines). Did I mention the one that caught fire two weeks ago?
As an added bonus, whenever I get an upgrade request for one of those machines, I can't just buy parts; I have to buy parts that will work in a Compaq.
Almost any medium-sized retail company with a reasonable merchandising system is going to be looking at a DB in that size range. When you start tracking every POS transaction for a couple of years and doing analysis down to SKU level, things add up.
I lived in Salt Lake City for about 18 months before moving back to California and I can tell ya, they're smoking the same thing the rest of the country is. Oh sure, there are all these laws designed to make access to alcohol difficult, but for every law, there's a loophole and one of the best ways to tell who's lived in Utah for a while is to ask them about liquor laws. They *know* every loophole. All the laws do is make it more difficult to get a casual drink. And provide lots of moral superiority for the chruch.
The only Mormon joke I remember from my Utah stint: Why do you always want to take two Mormons with you when you go hunting? If you only take one, he'll drink all your beer.

Same here. AT&T's been saying the whole time that the old Mediaone network wouldn't be affected.

Naw, the iPaq has a 4k screen. The only difference is it was never marketed as being 16-bit, like the Jordana was.

OK, I should read before posting. I'm talking about a DS-3, not an OC-3.

I'm firmly in the "proprietary crap" camp.

Since these aren't public companies, it's a pretty safe bet that the stock price won't be effected by any rumours.
Slashdot really expects a bit more effort from its karma whores.
