I am definately a digital pack rat. the thing is that I have this bad habit of accidentaly deleting all or parts of my hard drive (Linux + ntfs + me = data loss)
I have about 500 gb of data spread out over 4 hard drives, 3 of these have been accidentaly ereased one or more times. I keep at least two copies of my music collection, because that took forever to rip the first time. other than my music I just redownload, reinstall, or simply forget about other things.
I also have a 52x cd burner, access to a 4x dvd burner, and a half full 300 cd/dvd walllet thats a little over half full. no, I don't routinely back up my data for the sake of baking it up. (although, lately i have been emailing particularly important things to myself at one of my 2 gmail accounts)
yes, I know data recovery is avaliable. no, I dont care
I think this is proof of what I've been saying all along: *People*Are*Morons*. This applies as a rule to most situations however there are some exceptions (/. being one of them... usualy)
I'v re run the cabeling in the my schools offce because they messed up 6 out of 10 cables, and they dont know how to crimp cat-5 (let alone what order the wires go in)
the origional job was done by people who graduated from my CCNA class a number of years back
XP sp2 has seemed about the same as XP sp1 as far as preformance and such. I'v been running it since one of the early betas. Aside frome these two things, I cant tell a lot of differences between it and sp1
The firewall seems easy to configure, but spotty with its effectiveness. Iv has experiences with playing a game online, and then after closing the game im greeted with the xp firewall offering to 'keep blocking' the program. This doesn't particulary bother me though, as i have a hardware firewall.
I have had one serious issue with it. often when I go into a folder with several (20+) movie files in it, explorer hangs. After a minute or so, i get a "Dr. Watson has crashed, would you like to send an error report?" If you don't remember, Dr. Watson isn't suposed to crash. It's supposed to come up when other programs crash.
yea, i was about to mention WASTE - its from the nulsoft (winnamp) guys, right?
i ran into it at a lan party a year or two ago and while i didnt fully understand it at the time, the idea intrigued me.
It seems like the perfect thing to run at my school where they enjoy monitoring our every move on their network.
well, IMHO, most or all of what he's worth seemed a little harsh punishment. half i could understand though.
also the last paragraph seemed a bit off:
"Before this, there has been very little case law in the field of cyberlibel, although a June Ontario Court of Appeal decision was instructive. In that case, a homeless Vancouver man was ordered to pay $125,000 for libelling Barrick Gold Corp. in Internet postings."
Now, if this guys homeless, hows he getting online? Does he have dial up to his cardboard box... maby in a library, but it still seems a little strange to me
the remote desktop in windows is all i have ever used. it was already there, and it works. im always on a broadband connection, so the lag isnt too bad.
dont think iv ever had it crash on me.
hum.. thats an interesting thought.. i dont see why that would be a concern, but you could always just usea free yahoo account for those emails you want to be deniable...
I'v got one of these for my laptop and the thing rocks! if you didnt notice, it can fit a full sized keyboard in the main pocket. and i think the logo looks cool. the JiNX is good.
i gotta agree: it is the job of the admins to protect the system, but when a system gets infected, most of the blame should still goe to the jackass who wrote it
i intentionaly got a phone with bluetooth, but not much else. at my school they have this fettish about stealing cellphones from students, however, they arent too worried about palm pilots. i can connect the pda to the phone through buletooth, and keep the phone safely hidden in my bag. (internet - not like i have anybody too call)
yea, links is the shit! i can ssh out of my school to a shell account and read sites that the school filters out in privacy. (games.slashdot.org, for example)

for example, forgetting the /i closing tag and not previewing it
orrect strings are more probable than incorrect ones
apparently they havnt taken my writing into account

yes, it was a joke, the punchline revolving around the aforementioned fact that yahoo has not started using their domain keys system.

iv always heard it the other away around:
hacker : whitehat: good, but skills to do damage
cracker: blackhat: bad, and usualy also skilled
lol - your right
but how useful to your company can a dead guy be? (although, i suppose you wouldnt have to pay him much)

i fully believe that thats possible, but i doubt it will happen in 3 years - i think it will take a little bit longer

and nobody even had the decency to link http://www.fark.com/ for those of us who may be typing chalenged (or lazy)
