It won't be faster at all. Then your home machine has to download all of the html and then render it and then display it. He is saying his remote box is doing the download(at a much higher speed) and then rendering. All that is being transferred to him is a page full of the pre-rendered fixed-width text. SSH with links is faster in his case.
I use regular plain-vanilla Mozilla and have spurned the light-duty 'Firefox' (it doesn't have a 'compose' button on the lower left of the frame, which to me is a significant bug- a 'browser' that doesn't have the built-in capability to compose web pages sounds like 'consumer-grade' crap to me. Nobody who browses the web should be without some webspace of his/her own, and the tools to easily compose said web pages. Anything else is undemocratic and borderline fascistic.)
You don't need any CALs to use SUS. Just Win2k Server, and at least Win2k Pro on the workstation. You don't have to be in a domain either. Works just fine peer to peer. Just thought I'd debunk something else.
I installed a free 3rd party reporting utility to make sure that the clients were receiving updates. I think all WUS is going to add is ability to do critical non-windows microsoft programs, such as office and SQL server.
You're right about the timetable thing, but here is what's really cool. We have our main sus server at the main facility and then at the largest satellite facility, we have another sus server. That sus server syncs all the updates and approvals from the main sus server. So we actually only use the internet ONCE for the updates. I like sus, and we have about 300 clients, so I guess that qualifies as a medium business.
If you're a large business you're "supposed" to buy SMS. That's what I learned in MCSE classes:) I never actually took the tests, but work paid for New Horizons MCSE training, so for now, I'm only A+(hahahaha) and Net+.
In any case, SUS is better than what they have, a network full of unpatched windows machines vulerable to everything. I don't know why people bitch so much; if you left your apache, openssl, and sendmail unpatched, would you bitch at the respective OSS people who released those? No, you would be mad at yourself for not patching. What's the difference? I see the main difference as social engineering. Viruses, not worms, socially engineer stupid people to click on stuff. Those jedi mind tricks don't work on we *nix admins. Yes, I know you can run as a user, not admin on windows, and I do. But with windows, anything named: etc,scr,cpl,pif,com...... is an executable. With *nix it has to have +x on the file before you can run it. That is a major hurdle to getting socially engineering viruses on the *nix platforms.
I hate replying to my own posts, but yes I made a typographical error. Ask, not as. Yes I used preview. Yes I read it like I meant to say it, not like I typed it.
As your school to install Software Update Services(SUS). Free to run on windows servers running IIS (also free). I dislike Microsoft as much as the next *nix guy, but at work, I set up Software Update Services and it keeps all the boxen up to date with 0 user intervention. Your administrators aren't that bright if they don't keep their windows boxen up to date with software that is freely available.
Then again, that's the same school system that taught you to spell "whiping".
There's no two wires you can just connect on a ps2 plug to create a "loopback" that would work. The ps2 protocol is a two way protocol that involves the transfer of data back and forth. It doesn't simply detect a keyboard by seeing if a circuit is completed; in fact, the computer doesn't even generate the clock for the ps2 device. They keyboard itself is generating the clock.
Here is my recommendation if you are sending the keyboard to be colo'd or something. Do what I do. Take apart a real keyboard, dremel a small hole in the back of the case, use packing tape to tape the small chip inside a real(new) keyboard inside the case and run the ps2 cable outside to plug into the ps2 port.
You've used windows too long, sir. If you're going to make a joke about Linus, at least say "resizing his swap partition" instead of something windows specific.
If you REALLY want to get a kick, rent "Revolution OS" from Netflix and watch RMS sing it. That is a great movie, also. Its got all the big open source giants and even describes the beginnings of the term "open source".

It really does work. The crashing is caused by it not acquiring the key and decrypting it incorrectly with no error checking. This is what you have to do(the only way I know how, because I don't know how to compile it on windows).
Download it on *nix and do./configure, make, make install(if you're root).
On windows, download VLC. Run it and open your encrypted m4p file.
Now, in c:\documents and settings\username(whatever you're logged in as)\application data\drms, you have the key file. Copy that key file to your ~/.drms dir(create it) on the *nix box.
Then on the *nix box run./playfair whatever.m4p new.m4p.
WHAM! It now works. It grabs the key from your ~/.drms and decrypts it to new.m4p. It works! I've tried it. This is great. Now I can actually buy music(Until apple "fixes" this).
If someone could compile this on windows it would cut down this process to 2 steps: 1. Run VLC with the file. 2. Run playfair.exe in.mp4 out.m4p
Actually I don't see how that would be legally different. HTML email is still plain text, it just has extra headers, MIME boundaries, and MIME types. Not all email clients respect the html encoding just as not all convert text to links. I don't really see how it could be legally different.
You can't include a link in a plaintext email. Some mail readers turn URLs into links, but the message itself doesn't contain links. This might let you sidestep the issue entirely.
You can include links if you're using HTML mail, so the patent would still be a problem in that case.

The link in your sig refuses links with /. as the referer. What is the point in having that as your sig on /.?
