The greatest thing in the world, is a nice MLT- mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the mutton is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky. I love that.
I was talking to this guy who works for a web hosting company, and he says a fourth of his sales calls are people calling him up cause they're pissed that their last hosting company 'lost' thier site. (in reality most the time its later found out that the guy deleted it himself or renamed index.html to index2.html, etc..) He says 90% of the sites he can find a copy on the wayback machine. He'll then start to quote the website's contents to the guy on the phone and usually will have the amazed (and dumbfounded) customer signing a hosting contract by the end of day.
What we need an open source initiative. How hard would it be? All we need is a sourceforge project, and to avoid the DMCA they have all thier components be 'plug-ins' so that if some part of the project gets sued/shutdown etc... the whole project isn't compromised.
I too am a sysadmin and my boss too doesn't really care about 'harmless' hacks i.e. web defacement or an ftp daemon being taggged by el33t hacker and storing a whopping 150 megs of bad warez games.
Instead, my boss lives by do on to others as they have already done to you. So me and my fellow sys-admins pull out the bag of goodies and some log files and tear this jerkoff a new asshole. This one guy that hacked us had his machine setup to allow anyone to NFS mount root. It wasn't 10 seconds before we started going apeshit with rm command in the/bin directory.
OK, so you put in the Linux boot disk... then what happens? Does LILO boot the linux kernel that you have stored on the PS2 hardrive? Or does it boot a kernel that resides on the CD.... my guess is one on the CD. Now Playstation 2's will not play any type of burned media.... CD or DVD. (Unless you mod your playstation2 and get a GameShark boot disk). So what happens when I want to patch the kernel? Or edit my startup scripts? Or just flat change my distro? I'm sure Suse or Redhat will have something before too long....
Also if the kernel is on the boot CD, I just cant eject that CD and put in a MP3/DivX/DVD disk in it either.... meaning I'm going to have to pull any content that I want from those types of media from another source on my network. Granted... there is a certain amount of geekish pride in rigging it this way, but its definitely not conveinent. Who (outside of slashdot readers) has ethernet strung to thier entertainment centers?
IBM has been working on eye-tracking movement. Supposedly it can tell what part of the screen your eyes are focused on. Would be cool for first person shooters, but for an OS I think moving a mouse is just as simple.
I saw this on TechTv, i think it was fresh gear, but I'm not sure, anyone have a link?

You can't sniff for a valid MAC until you've already got your illicit one in the network. By then, you've already triggered the IDS.

Any takers on this task?
