And no, they didn't take out the government, so dont flame me too much. But they did inspire fear and strike terror into the hearts of Americans, just like the book.
Humm, I think we need to ban Tom Clancy novels
Lets see
1) Crash airline into building, take out government.
Check
2) Blind pilots on approach, crash plane
Check
Whats next? I am voting for Jack Ryan in the next election.
Anyone else wonder why this is being reported in the Brittish Press and not hte American press.
Probally because the American Press couldn't find a way to say "Officials have assured us that terrorism was not involved"
I live in Michigan and my Computer room is in the basement. I cry BS on anyone saying you can heat your house with a computer. Yesterday it was about 40 degrees farenheight outside, and about 60 degrees in my office (theres no heat ducts in that room).
In that basement room that was about 60 degrees was,
4 CRT monitors
6 PC's, including a P3 Server (Compaq proliant) 2 Duron workstations, P4 Workstation, p3 1ghz, and a p2.
Not to mention assorted routers,printers, etc.
Granted it was warmer in that room with the door shut than the hallway leading to it, but no where as warm as the heated upstairs.
I too think that this should be a standered feature of FireFox. I used to ban an Opera user untill Firefox, and the "open all links in tabs" was the best feature.
Here is the link to make that happen in FireFox.

Whats so special about an Airport?
Why cant the poster go buy a $39.99 Netgear Wi-Fi router? It supports PPoE, DHCP, 80211b/g, its a NAT firewall.
If you insist on Linux, dosnt Linksys has stolen Nix code, that is even hackable?
Just so the parent poster knows, and eveyone else.
Almost all new cars today that are stick shifts have a hydrolic clutch. So if the hydrolic line breaks, the clutch is always engaged to the engine.
So the best bet is not to punch in the clutch, but to shift to netural. Netural is the center of the shift pattern. Don't need to engage the clutch to take the car out of gear.
Cure for Cancer - Nope reseachers out of jobs Electric cars - Nope, oli companies go bust Cigarettes outlawed - Nope, that would kill the Cancer industry, the ashtray industry, the fire estinguisher industry, and the government would lose a lot of tax income. Peace in the Middle East, Nope -Bush would be out of a job
I've seen windows rebooting as soon as any user logs in (even safe mode).
I've seen the media player exploit and Media Player added to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT VERSION\RUN. So that the adware reinstalls its self even after running AdAware.
I've seen a giant - full screen Active Desktop Ad advertising spyware removal, it even covers the taskbar.
I've seen files that cant be deleted from the command line in the recovery console.
Windows is the most insecure thing I've ever seen.
What I want to know is if someone smarter than me can make a Knoppix like disk, that will read NTFS, run Adaware, CW Shredder, and an online scan like housecall.trendmicro.com and fix all the problems.
Barts PE works ok for the purpose, but Knoppix is faster and more flexible.
If anyone wants them, I have ten (10) IBM desktops. p2-266, 64 or 96 MB SDRAM. CDROM, 4 GB SCSI drive, adaptec aha-2940 adapters. Onboard vid, NIC, USB, and sound. These things are kind of heavy, shipping from 48458. I'll part em out too.
I have about 20 PCI token ring cards. Some odd Slot 1 Celeron processors. A ton of 72pin DIMMS.
Couple of Pentium Era Deskpro computers too. 1 IBM 486 laptop. A compaq Armada p2-366 laptop (tft screen)

I hope that some of you read this and think about what I have to say. If you read slashdot regularly you probally think that Linux is going to be on the desktop...TOMORROW! Sadly, I can't agree. I recieved a Network Admin Associates degree from a local community college. I have been job hunting for the last 2 months now and my resume includes my Linux experiance and my activity in a local LUG. I applied at every small local computer store in town and every other place I could think of that would need an In House IT guy. My Linux experiance impressed no one. Most of the small local shops were not interested in Nix, didn't have time to learn it, or didn't want to confuse their Widoze customers. I applied for a job that said Linux experiance needed. During the interview I found out that they had a web server running Apache, and that its care was outsourced to another company that dealt spefically with Nix Web Servers, because the head IT guy had no idea how to use it. He didn't even know what distro or kernel it was running.
I got myself a nice entry level job, doing Win2k3 server deployments. It is a job requirement that I work toward and get my MCSE's. I meantioned the LPI and the guy just shrugged and said if I want to in my spare time.
Linux is good. Linux is not going to break in to the consumer market any time soon.
so support the artist anyways, go see the tour..
Or buy the vinyl, like I did.
Tower Records
There is no copy protection on any of the records that I buy, and I can rip 'em to MP3 too. Of coures it is analog sound, but hey.
At work the main workstation is infested with spyware. One of the programs has managed to hijack Googles search page. You go to Google, type in your querry, and a bogus page is returned, with Googles name on the top. That has to piss Google off.
I can't get rid of ita nd I didn't try too hard (its not my job and whoever set up the network is a moron, IEs default security setting is LOW and it resets at every reboot). Anyone seen this before and have any idea what it is? Can Google sue them for libal or Slander or somthing?
I have had mixed results with sleep. I had a Compaq Presario 5000 Duron 700 win2k)as a media server that would sleep perfectly, but it would only wake up properly if you used the power button to turn it on. If you used the mouse or the keyboard the mouse to wake it, the mouse pointer dissappeared. It still worked, but but the pointer was gone. I have another P4 Presario that sleeps perfectly in XP but the exact same machine running 2k never sleeps. Its set up in Power management but it never ever goes to sleep. The new media server is on a Tyan Socket 370 board. Win2k goes to sleep just like its supposed to, but when you wake it up it goes through POST and all. But 2k returns to the exact same state. I guess thats Suspend to Disk, or whatever and a setting I could change, but I am too busy posting on/.
I am way to late to be modded and I havn't read all the comments yet, BUT, this is a repete auction. I saw the same auction for the same property for the same buy it now price about 2 months ago. Maby if it dosnt sell this time the seller will lower the price.
Maby they are smarter than we give them credit for. If they ripped off GM.com, Genral Motors would already have the ilicit site shut down. A little known site with decen traffic could bring large amounts of money for doing nothing at all except cut and paste. Of course now that its on/. everything has changed.
Mostly I am just so glad to read so many comments that stick true to my heart. I go to a small community college, Mott College, in Flint, Michigan. This is the worst program that I can imagine for a networking degree. Course work includes an 8 week "Intro to Unix" that is mostly the ED editor. The accounting department requires the only Linux class, so half the class dosn't understand point and click in Windows, much less anything about Linux. This is real bad for thoes of us in the Networking progam that want to try to learn somthing. All my higher level classes are Windows based, and basically you follow along with a text book step by step to make things work. Some of the assignments are pretty lame, for example, do a trace route and write your results on the paper. While I am typing c:\tracert www.google.com > tracert.txt and cuting and pasting the results into the assignmet sheet (a Word doc that I was reading in Open Office) I see other students furiousally writing the results on a piece of paper.
I am currently in a Windows 2000 server class. The assignment now is to set up and configure a DHCP server. This is done in a lab. None of the students could get theirs to work properly. The teacher was like, "well its configured properly, I don't know why it dosn't work". When I did mine, and it didnt work, I looked at how the network was set up. The server and the client were connected to a hub that was connected to a switch that held the schools LAN. Of course it didn't work, there was already a working DHCP server on the LAN. Once I disconnected the hub from the switch my DHCP server fired right up. I added a USB/10-100 NIC to my server and connected that to the schools LAN. My server has Internet connectivity, but my client can not ping the 2nd NIC in the server. I've been trying for days to make this work, I guess I just don't know how to properly phrase my Google search. My NT 4 MCSE teacher is convinced that the schools firewall is the reason my client can not ping the 2nd NIC on my server. If anyone can help me I'd greatly appriciate it. Jander@chartermi.net
Anyways, going through all this, one of the other students was doing somthing and I told him he had to change the seting in the BIOS. His response, "Whats a BIOS" I am thinking to myself, you are in an avanced networking class and you don't know what a BIOS is?
I have learned a lot in my classes, but not because of my classes. It is because I love what I am doing and I am willing to read and learn.
Sad, because I have spent 3 years and a lot of money earning this worthless Associates Degree.
I got hooked on Dew back in 99 or so when you could win a free pop (soda) in the cap. I worked in a gas station and had nothing to do but go through the stock room and tilt the bottles to look under the cap and see WINNER. Then I would just open the bottle, drink and turn in the cap when I was done. I had like 5 cases that were exclusivly winners that never made it on to the regular sales floor.
Norton makes it easy to create a bootable CD form a bootable Floopy. Just insert the floppy, a blank CD in the burner. Then when Nero starts up choose "Bootable CD". Click the check box next to emulate Floppy and you are good to go.

I run opera 7.0 and suddenly it just stopped working on EBay. Kinda pissed my girlfriend off.
One day it worked, the next day it didn't
Then, just as suddenly......
(DrumRoll Please)
It just started working again. I can now use opera 7 on Ebay again.
Although i am slowly migrating the house computers to FireFox.

Its called New Dot Net. If you don't remove that properly, your TCP/IP stack is fucked
