I saw a similar one, if you look closely they are using frames. The one I had was a 3 frame page, top and bottom frames were the actual website, so it showed that in the address bar, only the middle frame was haxor.ru or some such crap.
Single sign-on is one of the major components currenlty missing from Linux.
However, this is being addressed by several companies. One I know of and have experience with is ClarkConnect. Their version 3.0 is supposed to support single sign-on for several if not all of it's components. They have a great product that is pretty much a drop in solution for small business running an NT server.
SUSE Enterprise version 9 appears to be similar. I'm not sure if they have implemented single sign-on, yet. but I'm sure they're working on it. It really shouldn't take them long to implement something similar to their current windows Novell authentication.
Lifetime warranty with advanced replacement. Were's using 2626 switches, they work great, I haven't used any of their other products but they'd probably be the first one I look too when we need something new.
Read this article and maybe you'll see why he is so excited. Speaking as a father and someone who has followed Cringely's columns for awhile, I am glad to hear he now has a second chance at fatherhood.
If have SSID broadcast turned off on your AP the standard XP wireless configeration module will drop the connection randomly and look for any SSID's broadcasting. I've seen this problem on multiple computers with different NIC's.
Ananova had a blurb about this, I don't have time to look for the link.

The only Linux distro I've had any success getting wireless to work under is SuSE, even with the vaunted Prism chipset. Maybe YAST deserves the credit, but I swear I had it setup properly under redhat, debian, and knoppix.
I have to second this, I really like Debian builds, both Libranet and Knoppix are good ones to try, but for ease of administration I have to recommend SusSE. It's been the only distribution that handles wireless like wireless was meant to be handled.
I tried Fedora Core 2 but I went running back to SuSE. Libranet is good for a desktop but I think you should really take a hard look at SuSE for a notebook install.
You seem to be pushing "security through obscurity" with your rant about how configuration shouldn't be an "...easy thing to do."
Just because something needs to be secure doesn't mean it can't be easy, once you have the permissions you should be able to do things without days of frustration.
I'm moving back to SuSE mainly because my Fedora's wireless config sucks.
This is something I've considered, but I'm the type who likes to why things are happening, not work around them, this is a a last resort, IMHO, but a better alternative the allowing user's to run as local admins.
Or even something as simple as whether or not he un-checked "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propogate to this object". I've found that XP will seem to let the permissions get changed without un-checking this box, but on re-boot the permissions re-propogate
Tried it both ways. I like OSS as much as anybody on slashdot, right now, MS is what feeds the kids.
For further clarification I am running an Active Directories domain with a windows 2000 server. I am migrating my workstations from windows 98 to XP.
The specific applications giving me problems are AutoCAD 2000 (support has been discontinued, owner won't upgrade), and a custom application that writes data to several folders I'd rather it didn't.
I use The Linux Rescue CD to do essentially the same thing. It has a slightly newer version of qtparted and partimage that seem to work better with fragmented NTFS files. I highly recommend it for imaging, it's free, my images take 5 minutes for a 2GB image on a 40GB disk, and the bz2 compression takes the 2GB image down to roughly 800MB, the partimage software will even automagically split the image file so you can fit it on a CD.

I've seen keyboards with built in keystroke loggers. Google up a link for me. I'm to busy checking over my AFB.

I find a ClarkConnect box works well as a drop in solution for a single server small business. Probably isn't as robust as AD though.

I don't know about you, but I buy bottled water?!

I can't imagine losing one of my babies...

If a car breaks I can buy aftermarket parts to repair it. I can even manufacture an aftermarket part if I have the capabilities.
If I buy a designer shirt I can rip out the seams and make an exact copy of the shirt. I can even sell an exact copy, bad example.
That was insightful the last 6 times I saw it posted, verbatim.

I user partimage from the Linux Rescue CD, you can get it here. Works like a charm and it's free.
thank you
This is the first time I've ever wished I had mod points.
ahhh, another common myth debunked.
That's actually similar to the way Radio used to work, but there isn't enough money in it for the corps.
Hi Bill ;)
I know it's you.
Practically giving away????
Maybe Korea is practically giving away cars. but I don't see how you can say Detroit is anywhere near giving away cars.
That is exactly what we want to avoid, Democracy is bad enough, do you really want mob rule?
