How about setting up a computer that requires you to punch in a code and hit the "execute" button. You could have it set on a timer... say 108 minutes.
I think if you read some of the other posts, you'll get this point... but NFS using AUTH_SYS RPC authentication (as opposed to rpcsec_gss) provides literally NO file security. Yes, you can sqaush root or map it to another UID. But without giving up a lot of functionality (supplemental groups for example, using the solution suggested above about all_squash,anonuid=xxxx,anongid=yyyy) any user with root access on a client can do:
I'm getting sick of this line of question... only YOU matter. If you're smart, you'll get a good job. If you're dumb, it won't matter what courses you take. It'll all balance out in the end.
I bet they could find 1 million people willing to pay for a $100 lottery ticket. Or 5 million who would pay for a $20 lottery ticket. Sounds like a good deal to me... I'd have a better chance of orbiting the moon that winning the state lottery.
In a few years when Linux global desktop market share reaches 10% (10 x 10!) why will Linux be differnet than Windows? Specifically, other than not (yet!) being targeted by virus/trojan/{spy,mal}ware authors, what makes linux more secure than windows? Won't linux as it becomes more user friendly become as susceptible to these sorts of ilk as windows? Isn't Linux perceived desktop security superiority mostly due to the fact that crackers and kiddies aren't targetting linux desktops? They will!
Can't confirm this since , I don't use windows. But I think you need a plugin called vlc. Anyways, the codec is called theora, so maybe do a google search for a theora plugin for media player. Good luck.
How can I spend more money and time to fabricate a fake keyboard dongle rather than "waste" a $5 USB keyboard bought on ebay? What a geek. And I mean that in the best sense of the word:)
Actually, you're the exception (read maladjusted). Most people LOVE animals. When the rare dog shows up at work (yes, I do bring my dog in from time to time, especially when require to work nights/weekends) people are very thrilled to see him. You can see the mood in the office rise for the rest of the day. Granted, productivity goes to shit for the first 10 minutes. Tough. Call it a break.:)
Obviously the dog has to be trained and kept in an area free of people with dog issues. But the precedent is already there. Assistance animals are by law allowed into work areas.
Besides, I'd be just as happy if I could keep my dog somewhere on premesis. Doesn't have to be my office.
I would like to bring my dog to work. Ideally he could sit in my office under my desk while I work. Or the company (university in my case) could provide kennel space so that I could spend my lunch break with my dog. I would be willing to pay a fee similar to the parking fee for such a service.
Ideally, such a componentized system should be agnostic towards the underlying base system. Perhaps the OpenPackage project is a good example of such an overlay system.
If you use the correct mount options you should not have to worry about corruption when the nfs server goes away.
The options you want (for filesystems mounted rw) are:
rw,hard,nointr...
A lot of people don't like these options because it means that the clients will hang until the server returns, but it is THE RIGHT THING TO DO if you are mounting important data rw. If you can't stand for your clients to hang, maybe replace 'nointr' with 'intr', but you've been warned.
Try transferring a file between the two systems via a different protocol... say http. Do you get the same numbers? I have seen http transfers between two gigabit ethernet connected hosts in the 60MBs range.
At least this would help you narrow down samba performance v. network performance. Just a thought...
What is this "aliasing" all about? Can you go into more detail regarding why fortran is better than C for numerical computing?
Bare in mind that I have NO knowledge of fortran, but I do compile fortran code for people doing scientific computing. I can see that at some point in the future I will probably have to learn a bit about fortran. It would be nice to know why bother?:)

APSL version 2.0 qualifies as a free software license. Apple's lawyers worked with the FSF to produce a license that would qualify. The problems described in this page are still potential issues for other possible licenses, but they do not apply to version 2.0 of the APSL.
He mentions a tunnel that the nutrino passes through because it needs a straight-line path. How long is this tunnel? Any idea how much it cost to build?

And have all access as 'someuser'.

I'm surprised you didn't play the nazi card. I think comparisons like
this dilute the effectiveness of real civil rights issues.
Comparing access to public transportation to the rules of a game
may make for snappy come-backs... but in the end they're not even
remotely the same.
Perhaps I'm missing something... but this is a game, right? Play by the rules or go home.

I'm a late comer to the SATA world... are all SATA drives/controllers compatible or do you need a newer SATA controller to use SATA 300MB/s?
Further, what about this NCQ? Does the SATA controller have to support it? What if it doesn't?
And how do you determine if your SATA controller will support the features?
I scanned the http://www.sata-io.org/ site including the Naming Guidlines, but w/out digging into the specs, it was not clear to me.
Thanks.

If you bothered to read the links, you'd know that 6.9 (the (last?) monolithic release) and 7.0 (the modular release) will occur at the same time.

No, that would be the inspiration for the Ewok costume. Pretty creepy, if you ask me.

... aside from doing it the safe/correct way, how can I save a few bucks and reduce the risk of buring down my office?

The "Open Source movement" can't be wrong if those who participate are having fun. If you're not having fun, then you're doing it wrong ;)
