I regularly use an electric leaf blower to blow dust out of computers, servers, and varoius network equipment. Always works after I blast it outside my office.
My take is that vigilantes should not do any damage. Poking around a system, finding a vulnerability and then reporting it to the responsible party (not immediately to the public) is ok in my book. Instead of mailbombing your enemy, use social tactics to discount/disprove your enemy's arguments. Oh, and first post!:)
I have a 2003 prius and I get around 46.5 mpg. When driving on longer trips I can get it higher. I also get killer miles per gallon in bumper to bumper traffic because I am only running on electric during that time.
Tagging and client based rules aren't really that great of a solution. If you trap and quarantine based on rules it is much better. Then you whitelist companies and email addresses that you do business regularly with. Make the quarantined emails available to the user by sending a report every day or hourly if need be. Or have a web interface that they can go to at any time to retreive quarantined email. Sophos Puremessage can do this... Then your email server is not impacted by the deluge of spam, and your clients hard drives and network don't have to process it either.
Hmm the post says that the child must wear the band, which makes me think it is required. Well it is not, it's an optional rental. So this turns from a tinfoil hat article to some semi-interesting application of existing technology. yay.
This guy is putting energy into the machine every time his magnet moves. Attach it to a fixed position say with a clamp and it would not work. Take a look at this video of Minato and then read the explanation here. You will need to search in your browser for minato because the page is long. Also you have to wait for the avi to completely download.
Am I the only one who thinks it would be kinda cool to send a nuclear bomb? Well kinda sick actually, but I am just wondering if say, it would be visible to the naked eye from earth...
Let's inspect every inch of it so we can make necessary repairs... We wouldn't want a missing/damaged heatshield panel mucking things up during reentry.
Yes, I am the Technician that services Aptos Middle School mentioned in the article. This school uses Accelerated Reader (AR), and the students are inspired to read because of it. They read a book, take the test, and they are motivated by getting good scores on AR. Every day thier library is packed with students ckeching out books and taking AR tests. I imagine this has helped kids to become excited about reading and discover the bounty of knowledge and mind-stimulation that comes from reading. So AR is a good program, IMO. They call me immediately if it ever goes down so it's a highly desired program. We bought a nice server to improve the reliability of AR, among other network programs in use.
Aptos Middle School has a starving tech budget, noted by the computer lab with original Pentiums at 75Mhz, 100Mhz, and 133Mhz. 16Megs of ram, 2 gig hard disk. They get used every day and the computer teacher teaches them good stuff. Good teacher. Many of the students have some type of computer at home I believe. It's a more affulent area. All of the teachers have laptops to do electronic grading and attendance, and also to become more computer literate.
I also service other schools in my district that have varied levels of teacher ability and varied levels of computer spending. Many of our schools have a good tech program but I don't see major correlation between tech spending and test scores.
So what I'm getting at here is this: Tech spending is not a panacea. Computers are not a babysitter. Learning happens from the teacher and with parent involvement at home. Students need to learn Internet research skills along with traditional research skills. Schools do need to spend money on computers but if teachers are getting cut then it is not worth it. Teachers need to be tech savvy and to be able to teach basic computer concepts, and specialized computer concepts in the upper grades. Yes training in standard office applications does help for vocational training. It also helps those that move on to college as well.
Another source, which I just bought from is http://www.idot.com/TheStore/Desktop/555Spec.asp?P roduct.id=555&Cate.id=19 from www.idot.com. It showed up very quickly and I got a system with 128mb ram, 533 MHz Via board, and that nice black case. I got the ITX-PV Black ITX w/Riser Card & DC PS case. (nice black color, with external 12V DC power supply) Check out this link too, it has more pictures and a review of the case. http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/2677R/
Right now it's running ipcop (www.ipcop.org) with a second nic, as my DSL router. Soon to be reloaded and get a usb wifi card in it!

This just in, OUTSOURCING is a security risk!!!

Comes in one color - Black :)
Ah but then you lose your Terminal Server and you're FUCKED! ALL of them are down!

heh constant thrust does equal constant acceleration...
Umm, it was cooler than that. He used graphite pencil lead
You forgot about U.S. imposed sanctions on trade with some countries like Iraq, Cuba, and others. This is causing people to starve...

at least we have our priorities straight :)
Hmm, Big Bang Goo, sounds like a porn I saw once...
What a load of carp!
As opposed to something programmed by god? :P

sounds doable. I have been tinkering for years...
for all those interested, I've made a page with a pic of the missing chip in question. http://members.cruzio.com/~slazar/
here is a pic indicating exactly where the chip used to be. I desoldered it. http://members.cruzio.com/~slazar/
I asked Bjorn, the maintainer of the site, but he dosen't want to open his jukebox again.
