When the Nachi/Welshia worm got on our network we had to disable that rule. It tried account passwords so rapidly; every account that had a strong password and it couldn't get into, would get locked every 30 minutes. We couldn't unlock them fast enough.

Like as not by 'physical labour' he means keyboard and mouse work that isn't automated, and isn't scalable. Few of us will want to join the "IMS Global Learning Consortium" just to RTFA and find that out, though.
Evolution involves the death of weaker individuals before they can breed. With soap (the yardstick of civilisation), surgery, rescue helicopters, dentistry, wheelchairs etc, weaker individuals aren't killed off so easily before they can breed.

A History of Flickr

Yet the audience isn't trapped in a dark room. People only view Flickr if they want to.
You can put up a photo and sent the URL to your friends. Unlike many other photo sharing sites the viewer doesn't have to join. By default every photo is viewable by anyone, though you can restrict this if you wish.
Flickr is great for photographers. If you're a keen photographer working only in black and white, or in macro or whatever, you'll find photographers to share your work with. Every photo can be given descriptive tags, or joined to public photo groups. You can then search by tag, or browse groups. e.g.
I've tried using laptops a few times. The keyboards are horrible, and the mice are worse. They're too expensive and too fragile. The chipsets change too fast to allow standardisation to reduce support problems. One bloke I knew had a laptop for 6 months, the battery failed, and he was unable to get a replacement battery. So now it's effectively a desktop PC.
I set one running a series, and 15 minutes later it had shut down because the hard drive got hot. Meanwhile, I'd been running the same series on a desktop continuously for more than a week.
Th best thing about a laptop is the distance you can fling them out of the window.
Some kids do good projects, and some do bad projects. Some do boring but useful work and some work on the latest buzzword science.
The judges have a whole bell curve to choose from, and they choose the buzzword projects instead of the worthy but less flashy projects. The fault is with the judges, not the children.
Reading Private Eye (2006/02/03), I notice the large financial consultancy "KPMG" audited the costs of the ID card scheme. The audit results were mostly kept secret. The bit that was published doesn't support Home Office Minister Andy Burnham's statement that the government financial projections were "robust and appropriate".
The LSE (London School of Economics) academics say the cards will cost a great deal more, as much as GBP10bn to GBP19bn. KPMG has the motivation to hide things under the carpet, as it hunts for other government contracts.
Further information: as is only sane, Normal users where I work don't have admin accounts with which to install software. We also run Packeteer http://www.packeteer.com/ to throttle down P2P applications. Packeteer will throttle down P2P packets even if they're disguised as Web packets.
This way even if they're installed, when they run on our network they're prevented from hogging bandwidth.
We don't allow Skype, because the EULA asks you to agree to let them to do anything they want to with your PC. The Joint Academic Network JANET won't allow us to do that.
"A cop once told me that's why many drunk drivers escape bad accidents with minor injuries, while the sober occupants of the other car are killed or severely injured."
Hmmm. A vehicle airbag / beer bong that can make a man drunk in a few thousandths of a second? I'll have to get back to you about this one.
When talking to a colleague back in 1989, they revealed that even back then there was a KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) in Tiananmen Square. It was never seen on any of the news footage, though.
We had an old lady employee who would print out her email. To communicate with the department she dealt with she would write the address on a brown envelope and snailmail the printout to them. She got through 100s of brown envelopes.
We showed her how to click on the 'Forward' button to send it on electronically, but it didn't take. A few days later she was printing out email again. Her manager said we should leave her to it. He didn't seem to think it would be possible to get her to change her ways.
I used to have a Nikon film camera. If it hadn't been stolen, I'd probably still be using it and very happily too. As it is, I chose digital and within 6 months I had taken more pictures with my first digital camera than I had taken using film cameras up to that point. That's a lot of practise, and a lot of enjoyment from using the thing.
I was hoping to read up on some massive graphics cards, as I recently purchased a massive motherboard. Imagine my disappointment when I find this is merely a massive review of normal sized graphics cards.
"Massive Graphics Card Review" doesn't mean the same thing as "Massive Review of Graphics Cards".
Slashdot Mirror
1) I haven't used (heard of) this one before.
:)
2) It's Slashdotted (no response.) Google can survive a Slashdotting.

and that's all I have to say about thaT.

The 'yardstick' quote was from "Fight Club" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/%5D.
It seemed apropos.

Flickr is pretty good!

If I were a chinese person, I'd rather have some Google than none.
Other than deny China their services completely, what else can Google do?

So, you pay an ISP for the connection, then pay them again when you allow others to share it?
That's a sweeet deal. For the ISPs.

"I am in the somewhat unique position"

Your position can be unique or not unique, but there are no degrees to uniqueness. Like pregnancy -
"I am somewhat pregnant"
There you go, now you've got it.

Mod Parent up.
We deployed Deepfreeze on our ~650 classroom PCs. Now we only have to reimage them when the hardware dies. Until then they take care of themselves.
If you had dual boot up, it wasn't a Linux machine.
If you want to complain, get rid of the XP partition.
It's almost as if this could be used for evil, as well as good.
What's science today coming to?
