My dad is actually a major geek too. He's built an exhaust that's really clean. Ive seen the prototypes he's done along with the testing equipment. Because of this, he's been down in the pits (heh) testing it all out.
I'd tell you more, but patents are pending and all.. If you do see him, my Dad works for Arvin/Meritor. Very cool stuff he does;) Yep, electro-acoustical engineer.
I can attest to the strictness of classified or top secret information.
My dad, and my friends dad were both in the navy as medium-high ranking officials. They both worked in comm, so much what they did was all classified or such. However the worst thing was reading manuals that were classified, as they had to count the pages before, write down what they read, and then re-count the pages with another officer to attest the fact.
It was better to remember what you neded to know than to do the mound of paperwork for using classified or TS materials.
Still, from what my dad told me (non-classified), I was seriously considering joining the navy/air force as communications.
A little racy (for their time), but you see what 'land rights' are, how to deal with squatters, and other problems.. You shoot em. Go watch an episode of Bonanza, there's almost guaranteed someone to die. By gunshot, poisons, natural causes, starvation...
You're also taught respect, courage, and humility. You were also taught how to be a man (in some aspects). And I dont mean this pig-like "go get me a beer, wench" type.. but someone who stands up for what they believe in.
Anything on TV now has lost what shred of worthiness it once had. Dont go saying im romanticising about the past.. Tell me that "YOURE FIRED", Big Brother, or some other tipe show on now has anything worth listening?
Or wose yet, parts of code that dont make sense. Samba's a great example... they had to re-create EVERY bug Microsoft did in their implementation.
I really do like Samba's gui (SWAT), but I think even a simpler interface needs to be made. Allowing the users themselves to control what they share in their tree would be great. But nevertheless, there needs to be a better gui on SWAT (one for simple sharing).
Unless its an ansi bomb (havent seen those in years), Im immune to most crap. If it looks legit, Ill log in and see warnings/notes pop up. Every site mentioned has a warning service to alret its users.
..... Nasa could do would be quite as effective as a few month ride through space with no possibility of nutrition followed by a real hot descent into an alien atmosphere with no water.....
No nutrition.. Check. Lack of Air.. Check. No water.. Check. Extreme radiation.. Check. Very high tempatures.. Check.
SOunds like certain eggs(cockroaches) and Botulism could get there. Both, I believe can survive all of those for a respectable amount of time.
Im serious about this request. Have you talked to any congressman/woman about making a bill for this? Having jobs "stay in the US" and "Who has YOUR medical information" could clich a bill quite easy. Have someone like 20/20 or DateLine run that second blurp as a story.
I personally dont TRUST any free email account now, nor will I. Free email accts are great for internet correspondance, reistration of other crap services, and other nuisance go-no go for not having an email.
The key here is trust. I pay nothing, so anything past nothing is essentially untrustable. What is there for me to take away? What I conside rin the webmail world, anything I cant get in 1 session, I *consider* deleted or lost. Whether its there later (it usually is), I still dont trust it.
IIRC, there also was some software to store data in invalid DNS requests and incorrect ping queries (with data).
Im pulling numbers out my ass here, but I think you could store 100KB of data using a t-1 and associated latency (of course, contacting far around world).
My best attempt sent Windows (2000) into a repetitive blue-screen, desktop, bluescreen, desktop... Circulating error. Reboots didnt work. Changing accounts to admin didnt work either.
My early disgnosis is that removing/disabling DirectX from Windows is nigh impossible. It could be possible, but I see no real way of doing it. DX seems to be tightly interwound with the Kernel.
---All in all, I'm simply no convinced that the whole 'we can cripple the X server' is really a strong point of Unix vs Windows.
Perhaps not strong, but a good point of employer control of the desktop. If the employee doesnt have a valid reason to use 3D features within the graphics card, why should they have the rights? This principle is one of security's Least common permissions. Easy to grant, hard to revoke after the fact.
I service mainly Small Business Owners with IT advice, equipment, installation, and integration of said equipment.
When a business owner says they're having a problem with a User on a Linux desktop playing 3d games on work computers, I respond with the correct way to deal with it. I do not lecture how good/bad the owner is handling business, or other "moral" concerns.
And yes, it doesnt stop Flash games, or other nuisance games.. Just stopping 3d based hardware acceleration stops a large class of games. But that part is just that.. A PART in stopping game playing.
And if I had a business with more than 2 people (I have a hired worker-on call mostly), as long as the said work is done, I'd not have a problem letting a salaried worker either play games or go home. As long as they're not breaking any laws (no matter how asanine some are) I really dont mind.
Case in point. Im pretty leinant. Some small buisiness owners I do work for arent.
---Is what you're saying that a little less security is okay if it's more usable? If so, why isn't Windows given a little more credit?
Hmmmm, interesting question. Let me present you problems that Ive not found Windows to handle.
1: Allowing graphical interface but NOT allowing 3D graphic card operations used (Simple with X, deny access to DRI)
2: Allowing programs from remote TRUSTED computers to have their graphical output displayed locally. (X was made for this exact purpose)
3: Making user accounts with almost no permission to the local computer (remote mounted directory trees)
4: The ability of an extremly fine grained system security model (NSA patches, now in the 2.6 kernel)
5: Being able to fix terminal (as in bad) errors within your servers woithout having to rely on external help (Domain Admin accts either locked out or scrambled in Win2k3- no known way to harvest other than full reinstall)
6: Does not need a desktop environment to run. Just instead open the Xserver and have onload the program needed for work.
7: Can be done on a Xterminal or bare-bones PC with network connection. I know of no Windows OS that this can be said for.
How you can create a law and have everyone be in violation at the same time..
Havent our prisons been filled up yet? And now "5 Years for Unauthorized Duplication".
Real violent criminals we have here, eh?
Also if I recall, why is the RIAA helping with this guy? Isnt there a law saying a IRS recognized orginization CANNOT have political affiliation or be in support of a certain political affiliation? And there.. seems to be a excess of money going to the Repubs from record *associations* and org's.
----look, it doesn't matter: once you have authored something, it no longer belongs to you!
you may hope to profit, but that is just a hope! your words defeat you while they also glorify your existence!
its a paradox. get over it---
That EXACTLY is the GPL ideals. You make it and release it to whomever will listen/use.
This is also the EXACT reason why many musicians are paid. Listening to a cd is static.. So you pay them for THEIR time and for THEIR skills. Would you rather have a CD play songs at a wedding, or the REAL band come and play?
The way the Internet is now, paying for information (music, CD's, games, books, newspapers, magazines) is a price of conveinance. Everything listed there is easily obtainable depending on popularity. Who cares about legal/illegal matters. Money now, and more so in the future, will be paid for a direct service, not "user fees" or 'I did it 20 years ago, PAY ME' fees.

Heh, Im stupid, but I gotta ask...
What is that screensaver on Cam1? From the cam, it looks really cool.
Go watch 60's and 70's western shows.

Do you get paid more for working down there as an admin?
I know a few miners.. They get paid for doing a "good load" about 120k a year.

Server Error
The service you requested is not available at this time.
Service error -27.
Wow, they're down quite a bit..
Im used to seeing them at around 87-90k.
Also, do you all know who founded Bershire Hathaway? Good ol' Warren Buffet.
Ever heard of Geico? Owner? Warren Buffet.
ALl I can say is Mr. Buffet Knows how to run his companies (and ditch them when theyre bleeding dollars).

So how far will you be down-modded for talking bad about it?
Because of GMail, my yahoo account went FROM 6 MB storage to 100MB storage.
IIRC, there also was some software to store data in invalid DNS requests and incorrect ping queries (with data).
Im pulling numbers out my ass here, but I think you could store 100KB of data using a t-1 and associated latency (of course, contacting far around world).
Ive tried to disable/criple DirectX.

Case in point. Im pretty leinant. Some small buisiness owners I do work for arent.
Exactly. I dont people playing Quake or Unreal Tournament during working hours..
That allows your workers to use XWindows with 3D accelerated hardware without letting the worker have acces to it.
After all, to keep productivity good, I'd allow on Fridays (afternoon) a good lan tournament on a game.
