USEnet? 35 minutes at 1 Mbit/sec? If its porn, someone lemme know.
Maybe he runs a web site (hosted somewhere else), and he was uploading files to it.
Thats a lot of files. Like I said before, If its porn, someone lemme know.
Maybe he was sending a huge email or the mail server was slow.
The limit for Optimum is 20 megs. As for speed of the email servers, from what I hear, they either work, or they don't. They don't slow down, they just go down.
Sure there's legit reasons to upload, but they're few and far between. He probably had an FTP or Kazaa running and it maxed out his uploads for a couple hours, so they capped him.
This is why everyone should wait until after the legal dust settles, SCO's stock price is less than $1, and all they have left is the shirt on their backs. You'll be able to buy out SCO with a half eaten cheeseburger and a warm Coke.

Comparing computers to cars is a bad analogy, because people are required to get some sort of training before operating a motor vehicle, while anyone can buy a computer. However, a computer, like a car, is a tool that requires some basic knowledge in order to use it effectively. Now I'm not saying everyone should need a license to use a computer, nor should you need to be able to rebuild a car's transmission to operate one, but take some time to RTFM, take a night class, or ask someone for help. Make an effort to learn something instead of blindly clicking until something interesting happens.

I don't know about Mono, but Ximian + Gnome + Linux + ZenWorks = Novell Desktop OS
It seems to me they're trying to eliminate Windows from the enterprise desktop, as well as the server end.
Even the multimeter is a bit much, I know that its usefull for checking the PS, but how often will you use it.
You'd be surprised how many times I've found what is supposed to be 110 ~ 120 volts AC is actually 90 ~ 109 volts, especially in the summer. What looks like a PS problem turns out to be an overloaded grid. Also, I'd like to have one of those nice but expensive ethernet cable testers, but the continuity tester built into my DVM works just fine, and it only cost me $30.
I don't see what's evil about wanting to know what people find interesting or not in your own themepark though, but I agree there's a lot of ways this technology can be abused.
Oh yeah, especially when black hat finds out how to hack one of these things.
Upset mom: I'd like to see someone in charge! This monster Mickey is telling dirty jokes, spouting profanities, and telling my son cigarettes and beer does a body good! Help Desk Guy: I sympathize with your problem maam, but are you sure it was our Mickey that did this? We've tested them... Mickey: Yeah, you're at the damn help desk manned by our finest PR school dropouts. While you're here, ask Pete about that dead hooker they found around the corner from his apartment building! Help Desk Guy: Oh crap.
I agree. I've repaired many home and car audio amplifiers and I've gone through probably a pint of heat sink compound over the last few years. I once bought a big toothpaste size tube of that GC brand heatsink compound and I only used about half of it before I had to throw it away. The stuff is runny and inconsistant, while the Radio Shack grease is expensive and only comes in little tubes, but flows evenly and doesn't drip.
The problem with this as stated earlier, is that the ip of the logon server is picked based on your login name. So for example if it's based on the first letter, you would have to create 26 throwaway accounts starting with a-z, connect with each of them, then see which logon server they connect to.
IMO, if this much work is involved, I'd just block everything, then open up legit ips as they're needed. This would also eliminate the possibility of people tunneling through the firewall as well.
I suppose if they needed another shuttle, they could refurbish Enterprise for spaceflight. It was originally supposed to go into space (OV-101)
It's the same vintage as Challenger (OV-99) and Columbia (OV-100).
AFAIK, Enterprise was basically a test only prototype built like a brick outhouse and too heavy to be used in actual spaceflight. It can be done, but after stripping it to bare necessities, they would have to upgrade it structurally to modern specs, then upgrade the avionics. Too much work for a portly guinea pig.
I don't know if mine was defective, but it did have the tendency to overheat and crash while playing Tomb Raider of Resident Evil. The reason for this was the CPU was located directly below the CD optical head, causing random glitches and crashes during CD access. The quick fix I found for this is just flipping the PlayStation upside down when playing CPU intensive games, and I never had a problem after that.
A recall is only issued if there are enough complaints AND if the auto manufacturer feels kind enough to issue it. Remember the Ford/Firestone debacle? The laws vary from state to state, but within a certain period, I can bring my new car back to the dealer and they will fix any (reasonable) problem free of charge. If the tranny blows or the door moulding falls off, they fix it, but they won't paint the car if it doesn't match your new shoes. Also, in NY for example, if the problem repeats 3 times and disables the car or is a safety issue, I'm entitled to a new car under the Lemon Law.
As for software, most stores won't give out refunds, but will be nice enough to let you exchange whatever you bought for something else. If they don't, shop somewhere else.
I like the Slackware way. If I remember correctly, its just a basic boot/root floppy set, and the rest of the installation is just tar.gz files with shell scripts stuck in for pre/post install stuff.
I played with LFS a while back and even had X up and running with my old window manager Afterstep. Too bad a friend needed the drive in an emergency, I never got the chance to "can" it for future use.
Following the distribution of our letter to the CEOs of the Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies, many of them contacted us to ask what they could do to move into compliance.
I bet many more contacted SCO telling them to fsck off.

Yeah, but with the cost of hardware and memory these days and gigabit NICs that argument is moot. Besides, Citrix is not X, and the majority of remote configuration in Linux can be done with ssh and a simple text editor. Set up remote boot with root mounted via NFS and it'll all be centralized on the servers. Just ask Jamie Zawinski.
BTW, Citrix is merely for remote configuration, not centralized. Other points:
A) There's almost no other way to configure Windows without the GUI, and
B) Microsoft hasn't bought out/assimilated/destroyed Citrix Systems yet. If they wanted to, MS could improve the functionality of Terminal Services and eliminate the need for Citrix.
Well, if it's just dust, you can use a cheap (new, not used) paintbrush. I use a 1" Linzer nylon/polyester on my old Thinkpad and it looks good as new.
Do 100 taxi missions and you'll get boost in all taxis when you hit the horn. You jump up like 15 feet, and you'll be able to clear at least 2 car lengths at full speed. It doesn't have to be contiguous either. When you finish Carmageddon, you also get a Zebra Cab, which is the fastest and best handeling cab in the game. It's not as good as the stock car or Cheetah, but it's good enough to outrun cops.
Keep the computers and monitors in goo proof cases, and maintain a supply of disposable keyboards and mice. Keyboards and mice can be had for less than $10 retail, and much less than that online or wholesale. The other alternative is those $40 waterproof keyboards. I don't know of any waterproof pointing devices though. Perhaps some industrial strength touchpads?
