Citrix. Put one or more Citrix servers in the server room. Put the few apps you can't find anywhere else on it. Citrix has clients for pretty much anything.
You're set. As open source apps start filling the gaps switch over. No, Citrix isn't cheap but it works. It works very well.
Get what you pay for. Goes double on notebooks. We deploy ThinkPads at my company. We don't buy cheap ones. We buy the T series usually. Option for option they are in line with my 15" PowerBook and the build quality on the PB is higher. It also has a MUCH nicer looking screen than any PC notebook.
I've seen those "cheap" Dell and Gateway notebooks. Try really using it for a while. They fall apart. I'd never trust them to take the travel abuse my PB takes. They just don't handle it.
I know a lot of people with PlayStation 2s and not a single one plays old games on the PS2. You can get an original PS for nothing. The same will go for the XBox.
Give me a much better console even if it means no backward compatibility. I'll take that any day.
I bought myself an expensive toy...a Jura F9 super automatic espresso machine. It's like having a liquid crack machine in the kitchen. I make myself a skim latte in the morning and in the evening I have some great crema coffee. The F9 was very pricey, but I look at it the same way I do any other serious appliance or long term electronics purchase (TV, receiver, etc).
For something at the office I recommend a french press. It's quick, easy, not messy, and makes great coffee. Far better than any drip or instant. Make a decent sized pot and put it in a good insulated tumbler (Nissan comes to mind).
For great beans check out Intelligentsia Coffee. Their Black Cat blend is great espresso. I just picked up a few other blends for drip and french press to try. They roast the same day they ship it to you.
Get a better AV system. We use Antigen. I can rename a.ZIP to.EXE and it'll still filter it. It checks the file itself...and also goes inside ZIP files.
Sure it is. Some good AV software goes in to ZIP files. We use Antigen from Sybari and it does. We were filtering the virus with no problems before AV updates were available.
Filter attachments. We stopped this virus and all the ones before it since I've been at my present job. Usually AV updates are several hours behind..even though we use AV engines based in different parts of the world (to hop time zones on updates).
I filter anything that can be executed by the user. That's the best defense you can do.
What's the issue? It should work fine. The AirPort Does WPA and WPA-PSK. Are you sure you are using WPA and not LEAP? I do LEAP on our 1100s..and the AirPort works with that too.
Some implementations of WEP are weaker than others. The main problem is that given enough data from your network I can break your key rather quickly. Usually you are looking at several GBs of data (3 to 5GB usually). While someone wardriving wouldn't bother a neighbor with nothing but time might.
If you have a Mac...and I'm assuming you do...go check out the Kismac tool.
WPA also has some weaknesses...mainly in the WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) implementation that most home users use. You can do a dictionary attack against the key.
Same here. We were filtering this before any AV updates were available. File filtering will save you far more often than updated AV software (which we use also).
Just noticed you used Antigen, like us. Great product and as the parent notes, it will look inside archives as well. Check it out..from www.sybari.com.
No. Snapshots let me take "picture" of a disk as it is right now. I do this now to reduce the need to call tapes back for a restore. I snapshot our main file server every week so I can go back a week at a time for a file someone may have deleted or messed up. The snapshot only tracks changes since you took the snap so it doesn't use a lot of space...if you don't make tons of changes to the files.
You're seeing two issues. First, satellite has awful compression. Many people don't realize it until they get a real big TV. It's painful for me to watch most things on DSS on a TV larger than 32". I have Sunday Ticket for the NFL season on my 64" Pioneer and the quality is worse than analog.
Some of the HD signals are being split, but usually not. Around here they only do that for some special events, say the NCAA tournament in college basketball. That way they can show all 4 games at the same time without needed 3 entirely new channels. When it gets down to where only one or two games are going at a time they show them in full HD glory.
I am hypoglycemic and one thing that really straightens out my blood sugar/insulin is caffeine. When drinking coffee it's a lot more stable and doesn't fluctuate nearly as bad.
But what about your neighbors? From my office upstairs in my house I can see 9 wireless networks. 24 hours to get enough data? That's easy. That is what concerns me. You never know who you live around and they have all the time they want to break it.
From what I've seen most of my neighbors don't use their connect enough to get enough traffic but 1 or 2 do. In a test of AirSnort I got close to 1K interesting packets in 2 days for one network. Given a week or two of a system sitting in a corner I bet I could break it.
This is the main reason I totally dropped wireless in the new house. I had it wired with CAT5 for data everywhere I'd need it. I work a lot from home and have a site-to-site VPN and don't want to compromise that.
Your suggestions are good... But turning off SSID broadcast is overrated. As soon as a client associates I can get that. As soon as they associate I can get a MAC address to clone.

No one pays that. If you buy a PC with XP Pro on it you pay *FAR* less than $270.
Not when I can go to the Apple Dealership and skip all that. I just want to get to work, not be a mechanic. :)

No..you'll find them on Ebay..or in stores as trade-ins on the XBox 2. They won't be hard to find for cheap.

No there isn't. Look again. The only thing for 10.2 is v1.0. They even have a link to buy Panther next to the download options.

I put this on my 15" PB last night and got my first kernel panic. :)
The WPA is very easy to use. I've been running it for a couple of weeks now using the Apple base. Windows XP and OSX clients aer working happily.

I looked at the XServe for a NAS solution but couldn't find any information on things such as snapshots. Is it there? Coming?
I have one of those. It's failing though..screen is getting dim.

How much you want for the TSU-3000? Love my Marantz 5000 (same as Philips 1000).

I just picked up a Jura F9 superauto espresso/coffee machine. It's like having a liquid crack dispensor in the kitchen. :)
I'm amazed crema coffee hasn't hit the US yet. Love it.
Yeah, the last thing a porn site wants is traffic. :)
