Am I to assume you are one of the artists, and they did not give you any feedback on your submission? Otherwise, note well that it would be impractical for them to display all of the submissions, much less a critique of each. I'm also a little curious as to why there weren't any real standouts, but I'm not surprised they'd be tight-lipped about it.
I doubt he was just bluffing. Just because SecurityFocus couldn't reach Nortel's 9-5 PR people doesn't mean the court couldn't page a Nortel engineer (whose number would be supplied by Sprint.)
First off, RTFA. Mitnick is detailing all of his Sprint Nevada exploits for the first time; why do you think they were so caught off guard? So apparently (the article itself doesn't expicitly say) this is the first time anyone's heard of Mitnick 0wning Sprint Nevada's switches back around '94. Therefore he hasn't been charged (or convicted) for these activities before, so duble jeopardy does not apply here, but due to the 5 year statute of limitations for these matters, he cannot be prosecuted anyway. HTH
2L for 900HP? Look into 80's Formula 1 engines. 1.5L, turbocharged, developing 1300-1500HP. The dynos the F1 teams had couldn't accurately measure above about 1300HP. The BMW engines of that era actually used production blocks, no less.
Many architects think that they can also be structural engineers (aforementioned cracked concrete, anyone?) when they should really stick to the creative side of things. Sure, most of the time, the architect designs nearly every aspect of the house, structurally significant portions included, and there usually aren't any problems, but engineering considerations ought to be handled by someone trained in engineering, not architecture. On commercial projects, the architect takes care of the aesthetics, and the structural engineer fills in the details. Maybe if more residential construction was handled this way, the situation would improve.
ALL of the release stages are detailed on this page. And actually, the simplest way to verify whether or not 4.6 is really released is to take a look at the FreeBSD FTP site. After the 4.6-RELEASE directory and the ISO directory is populated on the main server, the mirrors will be updated and the hammering can begin. I could be wrong, but for the time that I've been running FreeBSD, the binaries are usually available before the actual announcement, so if the binaries aren't there, there is no release.
Yeah, you wouldn't want your contacts to get microwaved onto your eyeballs, or for the doctor to tell you that you've been _cooked_ by the radar transmitter.
It's a good idea, one that I'd do if any of my neighbors were interested, but it would be nice to do it proper-like. Maybe junction boxes for cable ingress/egress, and consider burying the cable. IANAL, but it seems to me that one might be asking for trouble with city officials by conspicuously running cables between houses.
I subscribe to ATTBI as well, and I don't have AT&T cable TV, and I don't get charged extra. I cancelled cable TV service about 6 months ago when I switched to DirecTV. When I called AT&T to cancel my cable TV, I specifically asked if would I be charged extra for having cable internet, but no cable TV. I was told that I would not be charged extra due to my situation due to the fact that AT&T cable TV and cable internet are essentially handled by 2 different business entities. This makes perfect sense, as I have always received _2_ separate bills. In essence, the cable internet billing dept. doesn't know that I don't have cable TV. YMMV, but this has been my experience.
Sort of a subset of what the winning entry does, except NetGeo relies on the contact address given by a whois query. In other words, looking up the IP address of a large multinational corporation's website may return only one address.
You're missing the point. One advantage of leasing the modem is that if the modem is faulty, it is ATT's responsibility to replace it. You say you have been trying for 2 months to get a new modem? Then the problem is with ATT customer service. *That* is what you should be complaining about. If you own your own modem, can you really just take it back to the store, while they gladly hand you a brand new one? Or do you have to get an RMA, ship it to the mfg. and wait for them to send you a new one? Theoretically, it should be much more convenient for ATT to simply bring you a new modem, right?
I'm in a similar situation currently, although I've come to realize that going to the higher-ups isn't the way to go. They don't give a sh*t about technical details; as long as we haven't had any problems _yet_ they won't be interested in my suggestions. My plan is just to wait until something bad happens (and it will, as it will with your mental-midget MCSE.) You have control of your department's firewall, so when Bad Things do happen you won't be affected.

Don't even get me started on gyms. My wife joined a gym and decided to cancel after the first month. They wouldn't accept the cancellation over the phone, so we both went to the gym in person to handle the matter, with a written cancellation request in hand. The manager we talked to was quite hostile in attempting to convince us to reconsider, and he suggested that we both needed to work out more. They then sent a collection agency after us (why?) but a call from a lawyer friend finally ended the debacle.
When Microsoft releases a patch, it's a reminder that this huge software corporation with billions of dollars sitting around (doing nothing) cannot produce more secure software than that produced for free by software developers in their spare time. With all the resources Microsoft has at its disposal, and the implications of having such a large install base, one might hope that Microsoft would expend a great deal of effort to ensure security right from the start. Again, the realse of a patch simply highlights this inadequacy.
It sounds like what you did was equivalent to connecting a hub to the ethernet side of an ethernet-only cable modem. In other words, the second PC (on the USB connection) probably used DHCP to get its OWN IP from the cable co. You can pay a monthly fee to have a second IP address (of course they want you to have one for each computer in the house) but you just grabbed one without asking.
within their legal right to prosecute They'd probably just pull the plug on you without batting an eyelash. They don't have to sue you to do that. I would simply assist every Telewest customer in existence to uncap their modem Yeah... if you do that then they might have to go ahead and pursue legal action, but probably to sue you rather than prosecute.
Actually, the word is that, although teachers get dreadful salaries, the benefits are pretty good (insurance, etc.) and obviously the vacations are excellent. How many other jobs have the Summer off, 2 weeks for the holidays, a nice spring break, etc? But you are right, teachers are undercompensated in general.
prove that you didn't try to destroy evidence! Destroying evidence? Sounds like a criminal matter. The BSA raiding your establishment is oh so obviously not a criminal matter, so if you get rid of the evidence, well... the evidence is gotten rid of so to speak. In the event that you could (frantically) do a quick switch _of_every_system_ to OSS before the BSA busts down the doors, then they wouldn't have a foot to stand on.
They have to sign multi-million dolar contracts, since the artists barely get squat in terms of royalties. IIRC, the artist typically gets a few percent of each record sale. Sometimes the artist's agent gets more of the royalties than the artist does. They have to get the record companies to pay up front, because they know they'll end up with the short end of the stick in the long run.
You're right, but nobody around here really wants to admit it. I don't see OS X anywhere on this page, and as much as I hate to admit it, nowadays OSs have to be registered as UNIX to be called UNIX, even though OS X is partially based on BSD, which is classical UNIX. And we've already seen that the Open Group wouldn't allow FreeBSD to call itself UNIX. However, even if Apple gets sued, it would be worth it; somebody's got to defend UNIX's honor from Microsoft.

I thought that's the way the page was tagged already :^)

Heh, reminds me of the SNL skit where Tim Meadows goes around with the Fecalvision glasses, and the place lights up like a Christmas tree.
Man, if workstations are that dirty, imagine how dirty PCs must be.

Maybe if CHiPS tech-guy Harlan had been paying attention, this mess wouldn't have happened :)

The BSA raiding your establishment is oh so obviously not a criminal matter, so if you get rid of the evidence, well... the evidence is gotten rid of so to speak.
