How can something as fundemental as self defense not be a right? Firearms meerly serve to make this right equal for those with more/less physical strength.
For the filesystem part of the equation, I've just started using FreeOTFE, which is a real-time encrypted filesystem in a file that works on MS Windows and Linux. You get your choice of hash and encryption algorithms.
Do not just travel into the area with the expectation of helping out! You should have a specific place where you know your manpower will be helpful. You should have a contact person in the area who has places for you to stay and a list of jobs that need to be done. Once you know what you are needed for, the equipment list is self explainatory.
You must be self sufficient for the entire time your group plans on being in the area. Expecting resources to be provided for you will just make the situation worse.
The church I attend just trucked 48,000 lbs of relief goods to an area in Mississippi two weeks ago. We had local contacts who told us exactly what they needed and where to distribute it.
You ignored the fact that you are rebroadcasting onto their property and using their equipment.
The cell tower example was the best I could come up with at the time. It would still be illegal even if the cell tower was unsecured.
Another similar situation is radio repeater use. You must have permission to use someone elses repeater, but repeaters can only be used on licensed frequencies.
I have a couple of clusters under my belt. I've used Appro and Dell hardware in the past.
Although I've had issues with Dell RAID hardware, their PowerEdge servers have been very solid. When you buy a bunch of machines they will steeply discount your order above and beyond the standard business account discount. This made it extremely difficult to justify the expense of Opteron systems when I could get dual Xeons from Dell for consideribly less money. Add to that the discount on storage, tape backup, etc. and Dell is extremely attractive.
Another niceity is Open Manage which is included at no additional cost with Dell hardware. There is a Linux client which provides all of the hardware monitoring most people need. Although the documentation isn't that great, it is a pretty useful monitoring platform.
That may be the case AFTER enough effort is put into setting up the administration procedures. How much time and $$$ did it cost to reach that point with Windows vs. Linux?
I am somewhat dealing with this problem currently. I have Linux PXE installs setup such that cluster node installs require about 30 seconds of admin time, workstations a few minutes.
Trying to figure out Windows Remote Installation Services? Spend several hours digging around at TechNet, only to find that the documentation is somewhat lacking. Mess around with RIS for a few more hours to finally get it working with a non Microsoft DHCP server. Windows installs still don't allow you to preconfigure everything.
Want to use Group Policy software installs? Same routine, several hours of document searching, mis-information (no GP software install does not support.msp files, or.zaps, even though TechNet says it does). Want to repackage software into.msi's? Go purchase another piece of software to do so. Want to manage machines centrally? Go purchase SMS and spend the time learning how it works.
And so on. In my view the cost associated with reaching the easy admin point with Windows is far more expensive than with Linux.
and so on. There are a couple of state highways between MI and WI that go from crap (MI) to rather nice (WI) as you cross the border - can't claim that this is due to the weather or traffic patterns.
I heard some mention that Germany builds the autobahn with approximately twice the paving depth that is used in the U.S., which is why it stays so smooth.
If you take a closer look, you may notice that the expiration date is not the same as her birthday. Some states use that as a way of indicating non-US citizen.
It is now federal law that the big three must supply you with an annual credit report for free. The old law only required them to supply a report for free under certain circumstances.

I've personally setup two clusters, both in the 40 CPU range. I've used various versions of Red Hat, I'm now using White Box Enterprise Linux.
I use a PXE boot system with Anaconda kickstarts to get the software installed. A poast install script then configures everything else on the machine. When it reboots, the machine appears in the cluster and is ready to use. I use the Torque batch scheduling system.
You don't need the cluster toolkits to setup a cluster! DHCP, TFTP and a configured kickstart file work just fine with Red Hat.
"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."
- Bill Clinton, 1998
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security."
Hillary Clinton, 2002
If you honestly look at what members of both parties were saying in '02, including Kerry, this latest "revelation" is a blind attempt to destroy the Bush administration.
There were other reasons to go to war besides WMD's and President Bush made that clear. See this article. Iraq refused to cooperate with the UN inspections and various items were unaccounted for.
Let the inspectors do their jobs? Who are you kidding? Go take a look at some of the Iraq - UN timelines on the web and ask yourself why did the UN wait so long to do anything about Iraq's refusal to comply with UN demands? Eleven years after Gulf War 1, Iraq still wasn't complying with the UN, yet the UN did nothing. Wasn't it obvious that Saddam was using every tactic he could think of to delay action by the UN? That in itself leads to suspiscion that Iraq was hiding something.
How many political prisioners were killed in Iraq while they continued to defy and hold back UN inspections? I've seen estimates in the hundred thousands. The Iraq administration was evil. The only question in regard to this issue is should the US/UN step in when countries are systematically murdering those who oppose the government. If yes, then the WMD issue is immaterial.
An unmentioned strategic reason is demographics. In 15-20 years world demographics are going to shift severely. Middle Eastern countries will become a much bigger players on the world stage (Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc). These countries aren't exactly known for promoting world peace. What happens to world/US security when these countries are much stronger militarily?
BroadVoice $10 a month for DID and unlimited calls in-state. $20 a month for DID and unlimited calls to the US/Canada. ibell.us $0.015 a minute calls to the US, no monthly fee.
There's nothing particularly wrong with a reinstall for major upgrades as lots of things can get broken in the process. RH et. al. don't want to carry on supporting legacy versions of packages with their major releases. With Anaconda and network kickstarts the pain of doing complete reinstalls is pretty much eliminated - assuming you manage your configurations well.
With the RHEL product, there will be security updates for 5 years, which do not require reinstalling the entire system. There are "free" clones of RHEL, check out WhiteBox Linux or CentOS or Tao Linux. I'm using WhiteBox in a production environment.
In the business graphics workstation world, ATI cannot sell cards to Linux users as their drivers suck - OpenGL applications crash all the time. NVidia cards and drivers "just work". I will not recommend/buy another ATI product until they produce a stable driver.
The market for linux OpenGL workstations has to be pretty significant. ATI is loosing a lot of business because of their lack of quality Linux drivers.

So far it has worked perfectly.

Why bother with NFS? Just use Samba on the server and you won't need any additional software on the clients.
You ignored the fact that you are rebroadcasting onto their property and using their equipment.

Because you're broadcasting your 802.11 signal back onto their, property and using their equipment.
Same reason you can't just use a cell tower because "it is broadcasting onto my property."
I like GhostWord better than PDFCreator as GhostWord maintains links in the PDF output. It only works with Word, PowerPoint and Excel though
How about Strip?

So self-defense is not a legitimate use of a handgun? I guess that is why 30+ states allow their citizens to carry handguns for self-defense.
This line of thinking is wrong at so many levels, but this isn't the time or place.
If you don't mind using a VoIP provider. The Sipura SPA-3000 will do this.

Yes. Check out their GPL'd firmware page.
Why not use Bookmarks Synchronizer or SyncMarks?

Yes they do. 15" 1600x1200 screens in Toshiba notebooks. The screen is beautiful.
