"...at least force people to authenticate via a "yes I won't do stupid stuff" model..."
Not to mention you'll probably want all sorts of disclaimers for people to outright accept if they're willing to risk using your network. Someone could possibly find their account had been hacked and assume it was your "mom-and-pop operation" that mishandled the data floating through the air, or that the server you setup got hacked, allowing all data to be sniffed -- with WEP, the data through the air is encrypted, but unless the user is using SSL or some other encryption, the data from the server to the internet is not encrypted.
Almost forgot. Another huge pro of the Magellan unit is that it has a compass that works regardless of satellite coverage. Turn it on and you can use the compass right away.
The Garmin unit (at least the Venture and those below it) has a sort-of compass that only works if you have satellite coverage and are moving.
Pro: Can insert MMC cards to store maps, uncluding roads and topo maps
Pro: Works indoors to some degree and works very well under treecover and in your pocket/backpack.
Con: A bit larger/bulkier to carry around.
Pro: Comes with an initial U.S. Map installed.
Con: Doesn't have a neat "range ring" based on your satellite reception.
YMMV, but those are my observations. My father got an ETrex for Christmas from someone this year, and I told him not to even open the package, return it and get the Meridian. The Etrex's patch antennae works for sh*t in my experience.
Also be sure to check the forums over on Geocaching.com -- this subject has been talked to death there.
Better watch it with a stunt like that. Next time you might get them something that you really intended for them to like:
Moms: "Oh...a dress. HAHAHA! OK now, where's my real gift? C'mon, I'm not falling for that again!"
You: (nervously) "Oh, uh, yeah the real gift's still at the mall. They say I can pick it up tomorrow."
I wish I could find a link to an example, but there are a few Quake 2 sounds that I've heard in movies and commercials over and over again, particularly ones that sound like a door opening (airdoor1 perhaps?) or an elevator lifting.
Man, I hope that was your answer to "Why do you use Windows at all?" and not why you use Linux. I think that's really one of the only reasons I use Windows at home.
If not, I'd like to know why you consider Linux a better gaming experience, as I must be missing something.
"In other news, this morning Linus woke up at 6:30, showered and shaved, and had a bowl of grape nuts cereal for breakfast, after which he had his morning coffee and drove off to work."
That's definitely a good way of saying, "why the hell should we care about where this dude is at on his quest for an MBA?! I'm about as interested in that as the length of Linus's nosehair
The signal fire scene. Watch a single bit of information travel across mountaintops all the way from Gondor to Rohan. Remarkably well filmed, and will surely help New Zealand's tourism industry.
Was it just me, or did anyone else wonder who the heck had that ungodly task of sitting atop those mountains, waiting for years and years to light that signal fire? It's not as if the fires took at least a few minutes to light either -- they went up almost immediately after the previous one did! That means someone was sitting there....waiting. And waiting.
Captain: "You there! You're on torch duty."
Soldier: "Oh drat!"
I can just picture some ragged old hermit, sitting cold atop the mountain in the clouds, wiping away the crud from his eyes as he stares endlessly at the previous signal fire station miles away. Trying as hard as he can to keep the flame in the ignition torch he holds to stay alight against the howling, chilling winds. Poor bastard.
Shelob stings Frodo, and I'm pretty sure it looked as if the stinger went right in his gut. That would have made sense to me, as it would've been possible that his Mythril shirt was pulled up at the time or the stinger somehow punctured it. However, later we saw that the shirt had no holes in it as the orcs raided Frodo's belongings. Also later, we see Frodo's scarred body with the knife wound and the sting, which is somewhere around his chest.
I'm pretty sure it's not possible to sent WOL over the internet, since you're accessing the MAC address to turn the system on. It's broadcasting a packet to 255.255.255.255.
I use WOL to turn my Windows XP PC on by SSH'ing to my Linux server on the same LAN, then running the Linux WOL utility to turn the Windows PC on. Then I have the Terminal Services service running on the WinXP system on a non-default port where I can shut it down if I want to (using tsshutdn). It might also be possible to shut the system down remotely from the Linux system with Samba, but I've never tried that.
Why would you want to log all that data to a computer that you then need to connect to with a computer to read? If you want inexpensive, reliable and easy to use, try something out of the FreezeAlarm line. I use this model on our computer lab and it works like a champ. This way it calls you when a temperature point is reached, the power goes out, etc. You can also call it yourself and get a temp reading. The solution you're talking about sounds overly complex.
SGI has an overview on the XFS filesystem, just briefly pointing out some highlights. I also recall reading somewhere that it was possible (moreso than ext* filesystems) to undelete files on an XFS filesystem, although I'm skeptical.
I dunno...I take the fact that anyone who takes the time to write what's basically a "bitch" article about what happened and why they think they got turned down, overanalyzing the process and procedures for getting into the NSA...that is precisely why they got turned down as a risk. If you're at risk of taking issue with the procedures at the job with the NS-freakin'-A, then yeah, you're a risk to them.
I'm not saying I'm a huge proponent of their procedures, I just can see their point as to why such people get turned down. They're like a B horror movie -- they want more robots and zombies, less heroes.
A few years ago I picked up The Truth Machine, by James Halperin. It's definitely a geek's book. Just imagine the government awarding a "prize" grant to whomever can develop a 100% accurate "truth machine" -- detect lies with complete accuracy. Then imagine someone was able to do that (and no, it has nothing to do with what was in The Minority Report).
The "Analysys" section of that NSA interview document is definitely interesting, sort-of playing on the "AH HA! Made you look!" way of getting info out of people. Has anyone had similar experiences with lie detectors (that they're willing to admit)?
I can't believe the old page for TeamFortress is still around. Must be for nostalgia's sake. Still, it's good to look back at my one short fleeting moment of fame, heading up and releasing the last version of that mod many years ago. Then again, it makes me realize just how old I am now.
I've lost so many contacts from those days, but I still email Robin every so often to see what he's up to. I'm afraid to ask what the atmosphere around the Valve office is in the aftermath of the recent security breach.
"Anyone else find it interesting that Intel is working on x86-64 code?"
Maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking, but I do know that there is at least a beta (or should I say "preview") version of RedHat available that works on Intel's 64-bit CPU's codenamed "GinGin64". You can see the FTP area here.

Hmmm, then again maybe they're onto something in weeding out those who would lie on their resume to get the job.
You can always look back at this old Slashdot article.
