You may want to check out CyberResearch they have alot of NEMA-12 and NEMA-4 Compliant 'portables' that may suit your needs. They have ALOT of other interesting equipment as well. I used to work for them - they are a very reputable company, and although the stuff they sell is on the pricey side, its well worth it.
I do volunteer work at a local elementary school. I have been helping them repair computers that got damaged due to
renovations during the summer and weird things the teachers do.
Now, teachers are somewhat educated people.
I work for a large bio-tech company. Most of the company has at least one PHD. But yet I still have to make sure that their computer is plugged in. Some even send their passwords in plain text email to me if they have a problem. That doesnt mean that they are not smart, They are each VERY smart in their own field, the nation's leaders. I can't expect them to be even the slight bit knowledgeable in MY field, or else, lets face it, there would be no need for an IT department at all, they could do it themselves, and we'd all be out of a job.
If a security audit came through on the day that Person A sent me their password in an email, and person B managed run and install a program that offers up a backdoor, no matter how good OUR security and policies are, we would just have failed.
WHATS the point of ID's? We have drivers licences and passports and state ID's and All this other stuff. We also must remember that we are at war with terrorists. They kill themselves while they kill others. They don't care if you know who they are/were. Matter of fact, they probably prefer that you DO know.
Got another one for ya then. surely you have a friend or a friend of a friend that has or has access to a 'real' server.. park your www.mydomain.org there with a simple html that redirects to www2.mydomain.org:81 OR opens a frame with www2.mydomain.org:81 inside of it.
I think garbage should be kept in a separate place to the real visitors' log entries.
What i do, is setup virtual hosts on apache, with my domain name pointing at the real website, and my numeric IP pointed at just a blank page, and have them log to seperate files. Since MOST attacks come randomly via numeric IP, and MOST real users come in using the domain name.
The mac-o-lantern was cool, with the rear projection and all.. but I was hoping somone actually took an old mac, gutted it, carved it out and threw a candle in there. THAT would have been cool
So was there any kind of problem like this related to 1-800 phone numbers? were you able to buy and sell them, or were they only available from the phone companies on a 'lucky' basis. If I had 1800-go-pepsi , could pepsi make me give them that phone number? I'm sure the case could be different cuz you could spell other things, or the numbers could have appealed to you, or just been randomly drawn. But it's crazy that companies think they should be making millions on everything computer related just cuz Microsoft and other large computer and internet companies do.Sucks. Makes me wish computers were only for geeks like they used to be.
I don't know, is it just me or is.9.5 slower than.9.4?
I also have found 9.5 to be much slower than previous versions - yet it could be related to the fact that about the same time as i upgraded i started getting hit with 15,000 nimda packets a day.
Because you can (and should) get a state ID if you choose not to drive, or cant pass the test. How else you gonna buy porn,smokes and lotto tickets, or go out to the bar? Seriously though.. ID cards are great and all, but we already have them, and its NOT going to do anything for us. Having an ID does not stop one from blowing things up. Especially the breed we are dealing with now - ones who DONT CARE if they die, and PREFER that we know who they are.
Do we really need to carry this much technology? My thought is that its too much for one unit to handle. Probably have to reboot it every now and then when it crashes. I want my phone to provide good phone audio when I call people. I want the battery to last as long as possible so I can call people on the phone. I want good range, SO I CAN CALL PEOPLE ON THE PHONE. If I want music/MP3 I'll get a walkman or a Rio.
I was wondering the same with comcast. I have never had a problem with them (with the exception of 2 short DNS outages, solved by using another DNS server [I'm pretty sure not too many in my subnet figured that out - you should have seen the speed while they were all not using it]) Anyway, last night my service went out at 11:30pm - MY thought was it was because I didnt pay my bill. I still havent paid it - I wasnt going to pay If @home was not going to be providing service. Now that I know (or at least am told) that there WILL be continuous service, I'll pay it. So, I called them to either A> tell them something is wrong or B> say, ok here is my credit card number, turn it back on. Now I'm no moron, I realize that at 11:30pm there is most likely nobody there, but i figured I'd get a recording that would tell me that. I listeded to their annoying message untill 12:30am, with no indication like "It will be 27 minutes until we answer your call" or even the "Your call is very important to us..." Just them saying Sign up for High speed interenet! (insert annoying music clip) blah blah 50x faster then a modem blah blah. Finally my cordless phone battery died and I gave up. I hear rumor of them starting their own gig but not anything official from them. Any one else hear anything about this?
MY thoughts exactly - I've been thinking of setting up some form of shared internet / local lan in my neighborhood - be it wireless, or wired. I live in a beach community in which our houses are VERY close (driveway width inbetween houses) so running cable could be very easy if i could get consecutive houses interested. But that is the big question - How to get them interested? I have cable, and I know the lady next door has DSL, but she only has it because she works for the phone company and they give it to her for free. Other than that I dont think anyone in the block even has any type of broadband - and with the price of cable and DSL being only around $40 per month, if people even had an inkling of interest they would have it. So i guess I'm SOL. Computer geeks: Move into my neighboorhood. It's nice here:)
Credit Card + porn company = They scam you for money that you are too embarrassed to complain about. Look at all the cheap tricks that online porn companies already pull WITHOUT having your credit card. There must be better ways.. but what? Drivers license number? That could work if you gave companies access to drivers's license databases. Social Sec. Number? Sure that could work too, but thats even more trouble. I can't come up with a single way that would be fool-proof and even remotely 'safe'
The only sure fire way to do it is this: I'd venture that most people that pay the bill for internet services are over 18. Each ISP MUST provide, by an easy to make decision by the customer, some type of service that would work with mandatory services on adult content sites, to deny access to those that have made that request. IMHO, thats the only way it can work
If you just want to learn what to do in an IT position - go out and get certifications and don't waste your (or your parents) money on college. It's Greek Mythology and American history that sets those with a degree aside from those who just go out and get certs.
Really cool player - I'm working on a player myself, based on a laptop (i want the full screen effects) Do you have pics of it mounted in your car? While of course my mounting needs are pretty different from yours, id like to see how you went about mounting it.
The webservers are not enabled by default, as many of us think, but yet it is just a click box to install them , and they are called "internet information services'... any idiot installing their system would say " OOOOH, I'm going to be going on that internet thing, I should install this! "
The only thing stopping it these days is Linux's smaller marketshare.
That, and the fact that MOST *nix users/admins tend to be a bunch of computer dorks, like us, and will be sure to stay up to date on security concerns, or at the very least, clean their system of the worm in a timely fashion.
The shutdown.exe would run on YOUR computer. Thus making it bad for you. Although, if your computer is off, you HAVE succeeded in stopping them from hitting you

Then there was always the IRC joke of YOU have new mail, press ALT-F4 to read it! and then watching the dumbasses drop out of the channel.. hahah
Actually, from recent experience at a concert in Mass, They wont take out of state licence that says you are under 25.
Because you can (and should) get a state ID if you choose not to drive, or cant pass the test. How else you gonna buy porn,smokes and lotto tickets, or go out to the bar? Seriously though..

in my day, we didnt have no fancy-shmancy editors, we used pico, and we liked it.

That was really cool. Check out the 'Jewel Quest' (indiana jones)... i liked that even better.

Imagine if hackers (script kiddies anyway) got ahold of this thing. It'd put a whole new meaning on getting 'hacked up'
