Point taken. Somehow, IMO reasonable reliability in the software and hardware industry is rediculously exensive.
Not to sound like a suit, but it's really about total cost of ownership. For example, software RAID comes with most modern operating systems, but you still need to power down the server to remove and replace a failed drive. However, if you make the upfront investment in a hardware RAID controller with hot-swap capability, you save time and reduce tech support calls, saving money in the long run. If you're offering commercial services (as an ISP or whatever), you start to develop a reputation for reliability that will earn you more customers over time.
For example, if you were attacked by a gun-wielding maniac, based on your gaming, you should run around till you find a gun bigger than his, charge him head on, and pump a round of flak into his gut, and promptly find a health pack to heal your flesh wound. Somehow, I don't think that would work too well.
3) Protocol 11 get through many firewalls because sysadmins only set up rules to block unwanted TCP, UDP, and ICMP packets.
This is yet another reason why you should always use a default deny stance when configuring your firewall. Just blocking proto 11 because you read this article is not going to make your network any more secure.
*evil grin* - well-done! (I'd have tried to set up an auction system within the confines of the game. Them that has, buys. Them that can't buy, starves, leaving more for the rest of us!
Only the "haves" have the luxury of joking about mass starvation.
The Matrox G550 can be had for around $100. It has two configurable outputs, so you can connect a TV and a VGA (or DVI) device at the same time. You can use the displays independently, or have them show the same output. Also, the DVD playback on the G550 (and the 400/450) is quite good. The colors are well saturated and there are no dropped frames on my PII-350.
A DoS attack launched at his thermometer server at the right time (when the heater is on) will raise his electric bill and cause serious personal discomfort. This could be the best DoS attack yet.
Exactly. I think there is a tendency in the geek community to label people who can't master computers or electronics as stupid or lazy. There are many different kinds of intelligence and it's important to respect that.
Further, there is absolutely no reason not to make technology as user friendly as possible. It seems a lot of geeks actually want technology to be massively complicated because it's an ego boost for them when they get something to work.

Um, you can automate things in Photoshop very easily. Now I can say RTFM and I'm not even talking about Unix. :)
Slashdot?

Yikes, now I remember why I leave sigs off. Besides, a true American would shoot the maniac from a nearby rooftop with a rifle, right?
Tis studie is totel BS. Prety soone thay'll sey thet reeding Slahdot causis pour speling.
You're not from America, are you?
I'm sure he appreciates the excellent cut and paste features of StarOffice.

Ah, the glamorous life of the lab assistant.
He substituted 10 for pi, of course. :)
Great, then someone driving by could steal all of your MP3s in under a minute.
Dude, this is Slashdot. If I got my ass to run Linux, they'd post that too. :)
He would need to trim the 40,000 responses down to two or three, though.

Would you pour Clorox on your french fries?
My FeBook's file system keeps getting corrupted. I wonder why...
Poor Moby is really going to be pissed at P2P now!
I hope they don't use the same technique with Slashdot discussions! By the way, did you know BSD is dying?

You could always go out of band, like this for example.
From the article:
Hacktivismo says Camera/Shy will also use encryption, suggesting keys will be needed to reveal secret information in full.
Dvorak superiority is probably a myth.
They do it because Linux Is Mostly Boring Otherwise. :)
