Also, "marine computer" turned up quite a few results for high moisture, corrosive type environments.
Buddy, I don't think you need to reinvent the wheel or ask slashdot how to DIY. There are ample solutions out there, your work lies in researching them. Good luck!
I remember 15-17 years ago people would surf around and find University FTP sites and setup temporary sites for exchanging files (not all legal). There would be lists of open FTP servers around the net and those would be traded on IRC. This is just coming full circle to happen again on the Web.?
I am sure that it surprises nobody that FTP sides are still being widely abused and lists traded....

Thanks for the Douglas Adams quote. I always thought that was one of his most genius realizations.
I also liked the idea that the leader is actually there to distract people from realizing who is really in charge (big business).
I have been riding a downhill slope of enterprise email systems for the last half decade. First I started working at a Novell shop, Groupwise was of course the flavor. Well, I thought it was lacking in usability and features, until we ditched it for a worldwide Lotus Notes enterprise solution. What groupwise lacks in features and usability, Notes takes and twists into infinitely complex knots, lashings, and tangles. Preferences? We got em all over the fucking place. Location preferences, user preferences, security prefernces, address book preferences, all dispersed throughout different menus and buttons. There is no way a non admin could properly configure this evil bitch. Want to archive some email and get it out of your active database (oh yes, this is not a mail file, this is a full fledged encrypted domino database, bitches) ? Ok, follow this simple 10 step process! To change the font size, you have to leave the application and edit a preference file by hand on Macs. We had to send out a small magazine to explain how to use an html signature. The default browser when you install? Notes browser. Ugh.
I have come up with a fairly plausible theory that Lotus Notes is a conspiracy of complexity to keep huge numbers of IBM engineers and testers, as well as external Notes administrators in business. Witness the ease of use of modern email. We have well over 20 Notes admins for our global enterprise. REALLY?
This smacks of someone just making up crap to support their viewpoint.
He is exactly right, and there is no citation for what goes on in the scene and the street.
If you have spent any time in the scene, even as a leech, you will know that there is fierce competition to be the FIRST. The timeline is exactly as he said: cams first, telecine and r5's next, then DVD screeners and finally official releases. If you are the group with a first in any of these categories, you win. Cams are usually made in the first week of release, and make it to the street very shortly thereafter.
The street follows the scene. If there is a cam out on the scene, you will see it on the street. DVD Screener hits the scene, expect it on the street less than a week later. I live in new york city and they sell boots everywhere, and they cost next to nothing. They sell them in the subway, laid out on sheets in the street, guys with duffel bags walk around selling them, etc etc. There is no shortage of bootleg everything here, starting with mass media, i.e. music software and movies.
Granted this was only an advertising company with no real secrets except personal data: We noticed strange activity from a subnet in our building, and it turns out that around 6 pm every day, this kid was walking around to as many pc's as he could and firing up kazaa. Enabled by lazy desktop admins that had given the same password to EVERYONE. Using this one password of course, could get you into anybody's personal stuff, but that is another issue.
We had a summer college intern that installed soulseek and kazaa within 5 minutes of logging in to his computer. He was surprised when we got the two largest guys in the department to walk over to his desk (6'3 and 6'9).
Almost 20% the desktops have tried to install Limewire.
We had a microsoft administrator that needed a redhat box for something or other on our backup dsl. He installed the 5.1 version which had tons of known vulns and left it unpatched, unfirewalled. Within a week someone had rooted and installed a game server on that box.
The same dude installed a "web server", and an "FTP Server" on an old mac, and also unwittingly installed an open web proxy that was part of the same package (web sphere was the package I think). Pretty soon most of the traffic was proxy traffic that had found us (probably scanned and made its way onto web lists). The logs were good fun to look over on that one......
I hereby propose a new state where fundamentalist religions regularly duke it out with their holiest and most righteous fighters. Winner is obviously the one with god on his/her side, contest over until the next battle royale.
Scripture makes it very clear how you are supposed to feel about infidels and heretics. But just because you base your beliefs on scripture that doesn't mean everyone who disagree with you is being equally irrational and nonobjective.
Yes, I believe they used this as the basis for the Spanish Inquisition.
And then there's the other option of getting an MP3 player or tape recorder, so you could capture the bosses' threats. Yes it's sneaky, but he's an ass and I think it's justified. You need proof not just implied threats. Something you can show HR.
There was a kid that recorded a dirty cop with his mp3 player, and the case ended up being dropped.
My iphone has pretty stealthy video (cycorder) and audio recording capabilities, I haven't had to use them yet, but we'll see.....
I love how easy everything sounds when you precede it with "just". You and I both know there is no such thing as a fast USB 2.0 drive, DESPITE THE SPECS.
Slashdot Mirror
Isn't anybody going to move a finger, while a significant part of our collective history disappears forever?
Yes, the Archive guys are lifting their finger 5 times every second and archiving them.
Don't make me say that RTF thing.
Well, there are already military specs for this sort of stuff.
Also, "Waterproof computer" turned up lots of interesting resultes.
Like this one: terralogic computer

Their ability to make contribute to modern society doesn't undo the harm they cause.
Regardless of who is actually "right", they feel the same way about us.

Just curious and stuff.
