1) If someone "hacks the code" to spam connections. It will be fixed quickly.
Ahh, but what if whoever "hacks the code" to spam connections chooses to not distribute said changes and only uses them for malicious purposes Sorry, but it won't be fixed quickly if at all.
During the previous go-round of driver's license redesigns here in Minnesota, the DPS (Dept. of Public Safety) felt it necessary to place magnetic stripes on the card. My first task upon receiving it: Bulk Eraser. I figure if a cop wants to get information about me, I'm not going to help him/her. He/she can at least take the donut out of the other hand first.
"Smart" ID cards: I'll probably whip me up a small AC voltage amplifier to fry out any chip contained therein.
Actually, given sufficient time and sandpaper, you can remove your fingerprints such that they will never return. The "finger-dust" could well be left at home. With legislation like this, I'll be quick to find my sandpaper before my license comes up for renewal in three years.
One thing about swap that the previous posters haven't mentioned is to put your swap partitions in the lower cylinders of the drive, as they are capable of transferring data the fastest due to their location on the inside of the disc. I've got three discs with 128MB each of swap space and each is in the lower cylinders in my 512MB server.
From everything I've read, PCI modems aren't worth the silicon and fiberglass they're made from when used with Linux. Typically, PCI modems tend to be Win-Modem's in disguise.
I personally have a 3Com/USRobotics Internal 56K Sportster. (Works like a clock, 45333 bps every time) I plan, however to replace it with an external USR Voice Modem.
For my money (now that I actually have some), the only way to go for a modem is an external one. That way you know that it isn't Windows only. Furthermore, externals are virtually (I know, there are probably exceptions) guaranteed to work under Linux.
Except that the last I heard put 49 out of 50 states in the category of "likely to ratify". Thankfully, the last count put the senate in the category of "unlikely to ratify".
As for Mars, if I can get a big fat data pipe and O2 there, I'm right there with you. Of course, there is the issue of latency measured in minutes, and some sort of domain name.
But hypothetically, if the investors wanted to stifle competition (something I'm sure a certain company in Redmond would like to do but at present wouldn't dare), buying the non-profit organization could be a very good thing. Of course, M$ buying Apache would do absolutely no good as we already have existing copies of it laying around.
Nope. Samba is meant to allow Linux and other various OS's to create shares which Windows clients can then use.

I believe it is in the kernel. I just stopped and restarted my Server Service while watching the Task Manager. No processes died. None were created. It's got to be in the kernel. I wish I had my MCSE (I know, but it pays the bills quite well) training guides to verify this from one of the pretty documents.
Further proof comes from the fact that changing the configuration (bindings) of Server, Workstation, or any of the other network services requires a reboot.
Actually, most of the headers are not in RFC821 (SMTP), as it only defines the protocol:
MAIL From: me@me.com RCPT To: me@me.com DATA >
Those headers are typically generated by the SMTP client before it sends the mail. Typically the only thing added by the server is Received and Return-Path headers. It is somewhere within these headers which a service like this can track Spam (at least to a certain point. Of course, the easiest way to start detecting whence spam originates is to look at the Message-Id header.
You've got it backwards. 120AC@60Hz in the US, and 220-240AC@50Hz in Europe.
Other than that, you made an excellent point about power usages. For those not in the know, the system sends one bit per cycle in the AC. It sends a one on the positive going zero voltage crossing, and a 0 on the negative going crossing. I don't have the specs at hand, so the above statement may be backwards.
Actually, putting an icon on the desktop is a rather trivial task, given that you can figure out the format of a shortcut file. This can get quite interesting; I've personally placed executables into the network neighborhood by copying them into the appropriate directory.
I personally haven't used them, but my uncle uses an X10 system to completely control his outdoor holiday lights.
I'm not sure if these are compatible with the standard X10 system or not, but one of its really cool features is the ability to interface a telephone module to the system. Think about it, power-cycling a hung machine via telephone.
I'm going to assume you're in the US, as you've responded to a "US" thread.
Don't bet on that fact even if it is in your contract, as it may be null and void. Most states don't allow employment contracts to take all ideas, only those which are 1)developed on company time or with company resources, or 2)developed on personal time, but which may be useful to the company. This is more or less what mine said. Of course, IANAL and I know nothing of the specific laws of your state, so check with one in the know.
1) This is so true, although I'm not sure about the parallel port Zip. I've yet to try out the new x2 LS-120's but the originals are slow compared to ZIP.
2) Can't say anything about this comment.
3) Booting the NT install disks isn't a problem. If you've got BIOS support to boot off of the LS-120, you've probably got support to boot off of the CD-ROM (unless its SCSI, but that's a different story). Now, if I could only get Sun to make the Solaris CD bootable.
4) Agreed. Then again, so are most hardware manuals I've come across.
You forgot though, that LS-120 media are far more sensitive than Zip media. I've had 2 LS-120 disks permantly damaged out of 6, and 0 of 17 Zip disks damaged.
I'd be happy if Iomega would release an internal SCSI version of the 250.
Easy. much as a GB is a gigabyte (1,073,741,824 or 1,000,000,000 bytes depending on who you ask), a GFLOP is a gigaFLOP, where a FLOP is a FLoating point OPeration (or so I remember).

I seem to remember that a 100 MHz signal has a wavelength of 3m (c/100Mhz). Likewise, a 500 MHz signal has a wavelength of 3/5m = 60cm. Even at 1GHz, the wavelength is 10cm. I'd say you're fairly safe using a mesh (at least for now).

Agreed. But I'd gladly endure it if it meant that me and about 4 million other people shared the same set of unidentifiable fingerprints.
