Exactly! If you can tell Dell Tech Support what's wrong with your system, and what you need them to do, then they're great. And generally, their hardware is very well built and pretty reliable. Phone up with the intention of getting support removing spyware, and you'll be repeatedly told to go away and phone somebody else. And that's before you actually get to speak to somebody.
But it's got to get onto the internet in order to connect to the vpn. Therefore, presuming Wells Fargo aren't offering it's employees dsl, it has to connect to some ISP. Though granted AOL would be a bad choice.
Rent a room in some other company's office. That way you have interaction with other people if you want it, and can close the door if you don't.
We've got such a room in a town 50 miles from our main office, and we've got a couple of people who will use it regularly. Don't ask me about the costs, I'm just the tech guy who linked it up.
The office would have to be close enough to home to make it worth while, and far enough away that you aren't going there every evening/weekend.
It all depends what you're admining. I carry about an ancient laptop with me, it's got wifi and lan, and I can ssh into our debian servers and vnc or rdp into our windows 2000 servers. It's also got all the software on which our company uses, so I can talk people through doing anything they have to do on their machines. Plus you can fill the rest of the disk space with MP3s. Who needs an ipod anyway???

It never worked for me the vast majority of the time either. But then internet explorer tends to offer you it's own redirect service if you type in a wrong address.
Are you sure you want to click on this link? Are you really sure you want to click on this link? Clicking on this link will make your computer blow up, do you want to continue?
YES YES YES!!! All I want to do is load the slashdot homepage!
We've got an IT Tasks folder on the exchange server. Anybody who wants something doing is supposed to post a task to it, and it gets emailed to me. Probably wouldn't scale up very well, but it works alright in our office of 60 people.
Redhat have been doing it for ages, it's just that they advertise for other parts of the same company; training, support, books, updates, enterprise, etc.
Microsoft do the same thing, enter an incorrect address in internet explorer and the msn search page comes up. MSN is *still* the home page on most people's computers at work.
I have no complaints about either of these, provided advertising is tastefull and unobtrusive (ie can be removed after install), then what's the problem?
I saw a great security device a few months back, a keyring with a number on it that changes regularly. The software also has the same changing number which you need to type in to gain access. Because it is continuously changing you don't have time to crack the code. A stolen keyring won't work, because you'd need to know the username to go with it.
Well I'd previously used Sendmail, and struggled with it for a week trying to make it do what I wanted. On Friday, I installed exim, exiscan, clamav, and spamassasin all from source in half a day. And it works perfectly.
For everybody to start phoning spammers up would be a distributed denial of service attack, and would therefore be illegal would it not? I know I got threatened big time by my ISP when I started posting spammer's phone numbers out.
Exactly - this worm shouldn't cause anybody any problems. If you've got a firewall in place, and all the latest windows updates you will have no problems. However, most people don't update. Most people don't know what a firewall is.
This works the other way round too. I'm willing to get into big trouble for annoying the spammers who annoy me. And I've got a meeting this morning about my recent harrasment of spammers after they started complaining.
It doesn't, it looks pretty flat to me - it's only 3d because it shows the box over the top of the site. Acutally it's incredibly cool, but I can't see it being used very often.

Errm no, that would be me on my laptop using up an incredible amount of bandwidth instead of working.
And this is news?! Our providers have been warning about this for weeks, and it's not happening until January.
So does that mean that the kernel is going to be taken out of the main Debian source and put into non-free?

Oh, and a radio is good.
The very fact that you have to use AOL surely means that everything is not right! Who in their right mind would use AOL out of choice?
And openNMS does what exactly? There's a vague description on the website, but its not terribly helpful. Screenshots anybody?
3) would have to be highly profitable in order to negate the court costs and the likely loss of privacy. But yes, that would be about right.

8. profit!
Not if you have to stick it to your monitor in order to remember it.
And with that amount of baked beans you really will need gas masks!

No more midis? Or does it mean the the plugin which kills midi's will be stopped?
