The New York Times has a new article up that relates the end result of the DrinkorDie copyright infringement case (the "ringleader" and 5 other guys are in prison), and talks about warez in general.
Is it because relates the end result of the drinkordie copyright infringement case the ringleader and 5 other guys are in prison and talks about warez in general that you came to me?
They at least tried to get a story from both software companies and denizens of the warez scene.
Why do you say that?
Pretty interesting stuff, even if you haven't been following the case closely.
Earlier you said relates the end result of the drinkordie copyright infringement case the ringleader and 5 other guys are in prison and talks about warez in general?
What the hell is a "TCP User" or a "UDP User"? I've never heard of someone classifying them into one camp or the other. What do you think this is, the next religious war? Emacs! Vi! TCP! UDP!
My company is considering giving us a new Computer Room, and Command Center, as our existing building is nowhere near meeting current needs, let alone future needs.
Why do you say that?
I have seen a few plans for command center furniture, but no real designs or ideas for the layout of these two rooms. We have five racks for the actual computer room, and need around 25 screens for the command console.
I don't understand.
Add to this bench space for repairs, and things like: a cupboard, bookshelf, plus more storage space, and the design becomes more complicated.
What makes you believe things might want to have this cupboard?
We need enough space for three or four admins.
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.
Has anyone seen plans for this type of setup?
Is it because of your life that you are going through all this?
Lately I've been obscessed with grassroots community network projects, and the hardware that enables them.
Can you elaborate on that?
Most sites I have seen focus on wireless RF networking, but I have noticed a few projects revolving around free space optical transcievers.
Does it bother you that you have noticed a few projects revolving
around free space optical transcievers?
Twibright Labs' RONJA is a good example of what I'm talking about.
Earlier you said do I say that?
Not being an electronics hobbyist, however, makes the various plans for building a comm laser from scratch look rather daunting.
When did you first know that makes the various plans for building a
comm laser from scratch look rather daunting?
It seems to me that it would be easier to just make a lens and housing system into which would go one of the many cheaply available copper-to-fiber media converters.
Is the fact that it would be easier to just make a lens and housing
system into which would go one of the many cheaply available copper to
fiber media converters the real reason?
Then you could simply modify it so that the laser ports were optically connected to the TX and RX lens assemblies instead of the standard fiber interface.
Does the fact that the laser ports were optically connected to the tx
and rx lens assemblies instead of the standard fiber interface explain
anything else?
So, what factor(s) am I overlooking that would explain why nobody seems to be doing this?
As a Systems Administrator (a.k.a. 'paranoid security freak') I spend much of my time tightening down systems, loading patches, and just generally making sure no one does what they're not supposed too.
Why do you say that?
While tools like ssh have become a staple for file transfer and terminal sessions, I recently began looking at all the little print servers we have throughout my offices and wondered "hmm, can those things be sniffed?".

transfer and terminal sessions you recently began looking at all the

Until now, my focus for printing has always been 'just get it working', but if someone can sniff the print jobs (like payroll and other confidential information) as they go across the network, then it doesn't matter how locked down eveything else is.
What would happen if now your focus for printing has always been 'just
get it working' but if someone can sniff the print jobs like payroll
and other confidential information as they go across the network then
it does not matter how locked down eveything else is?
Is there a standard for secure (encrypted transmission) network printing, or does anyone know of a way to do this?
I don't understand.
I found this document that deals with it in a round about fashion, but with dozens of printers spread throughout multiple locations, I don't see it as an option.
Is it because deals with it in a round about fashion but with dozens
of printers spread throughout multiple locations you do not see it as
an option that you came to me?

We have been running a Windows 2000 Terminal Services-based network for some time.
Why do you say that?
We are currently using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and CDS (Citrix Device Services) for local COM and printer port usage on our thin clients.
I don't understand.
My question is this: has anyone been successful in using USB port replication with Windows 2000 Terminal Services?
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.
We looked into using Metaframe XPe, but it is ridiculously expensive to implement.
Is it because it is ridiculously expensive to implement that you came to me?
I would very much like to know what other solutions Slashdot users have come up with using Terminal Services and local port replication.
What makes you believe you might want very much to know what?
Thanks!

Are you sure nobody seems to be doing this?

I would appreciate it if you would continue.

I am looking for the smallest system I can find, in quantity, for my company.
Why do you say that?
We need thousands of these systems, and I'd like to ask the Slashdot community what they'd recommend.
I don't understand.
Looking for the tiniest footprint for: Case, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD, Serial Port, (2) 10/100 ports.
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.
No video required, no sound, all access will be via console (serial port).
Is it because of your life that you are going through all this?
No OS, just a bare piece of hardware that I can load the OS onto the HDD.
Is it because you can load the os onto the hdd that you came to me?
I'd really like to find something with SIMMS so we can upgrade the RAM if we need to.
What makes you believe you might want what?
And of course, price is very much an issue.
Earlier you said you can load the os onto the hdd?
Thanks.
