Pure water is actually not a good insulator. Water, when liquid, is always in a state of equlibrium: H2O h(+) + OH(-). As such, even pure water contains ions which can carry a charge.
If it's got a low amount of ram, having the new io scheduler would be quite nice. If you use a 486 as a mail server as I do, this can result in some benefit.
If using a knocking scheme, it would be trivial to pick a random port for data transfer, as part of the knock -- and every user/client could use a different one.
About a year ago, I noticed a fairly significant vulnerability allowing me to get the shadow passwords of any student in the CS program, as well as all faculty and staff at my university. Thankfully, I am on good terms with the CS computers administrator, and told him what I could do, and told him what to type to get it. Being plain old DES, the shadows passwords would have been trivial to crack using a dictionary approach.
He immediately contacted the university CTS staff (they administer everything else), and it turns out they were aware of the vulnerability. I noticed that later that week the hole was closed in a hacked way, by simply disallowing use by regular users of a certain system binary.
He also told me it was a smart decision on my part to come forward immediately with the information, because if they had found out that I knew and didn't tell them, I would have been expelled and barred from any post-secondary institution in North America for several years. I guess they keep a watch list somewhere.
It's a plextor machine. I know it's not very cautious, but I've had enough spectacular experience with Plextor to buy their stuff on blind faith. It doesn't get better than Plextor.
Not to detract from the multitude of good points and valuable information you supplied, but it's very, very easy to saturate 100 Mb/s at home. I move a lot of large media files (DVD rips not divx'ed or whatever) across my network, and my consumer harddrive from two years ago easily provides 25 Mb/s -- the network is the major bottleneck. My file server, which consists of a pair of striped consumer drives sustains 45 Mb/s. If I try to do anything else with the network at the same time more than browsing the web, my throughput drops quite dramatically. I would very much love the additional capacity of gig-e.
Perhaps in filesize alone, but don't forget the 100+ bytes associated with an http request that you don't see, even if your browser is only checking the modified time of a file.
Toppling tyranny turns out too tough for TCP/IP, thus trifling trends towards tempering totalitarianism through technological tricks. Terrorist throughout Terra are thrilled, thinking their thorny troubles will tidily thin, though they tremble tiresomely, tipped toward technology themselves.
I made that same mistake on the original story, and got flamed royally for it. My karma went from Excellent to Neutral in a day, and a moderation or two since sent me negative.;)
Slashdot Mirror
Aha! So even Larry Wall admits Perl is all "gobbledygook"! This does not bode well for Perl 6.
I don't have any mod points, you insensitive clod!
But on the other hand, I do have a lot of time on my hands... I wonder if that means anything.
Why not name a rock after Wikipedia? I'm sure the folks there would love that ;)
At a lot of institutions, omitting past attendence from other institutions is grounds for expulsion. They're rather picky about that around here.
What about hot grits or troll? I'd love to have a rock named troll, provided it looked like a troll.
Call one GNU, as in GNU's Not Uranium.
Hmm... it looks like slashcode ate my equation. There are parts missing.
I guess it really does come down to what is an acceptable limit or not.

Reminds me of that one time I set off security alarms for port scanning an entire 255.255.0.0 network. Lets just say that was a mistake ;)

Hmmm... it's exactly the same as the one you use at home. Gotta love my rootkit :D
They did that with me too. I look at anti-slash with a guarded eye.
I hadn't thought about that. Too bad my winter tires are only rated for 100 mph.

Had I the points, I'd mod that interesting, not funny. I wouldn't put it past them.
DNS won't work if you close off UDP. You'll have to allow for that.

So in this story, inserting fnord! into a post wouldn't be a troll?

Ahh! So that's what happened to that Martian Pool of water on Mars!
