  6. Re:What a STUPID IDEA! on Hardware Firewall On a USB Key · · Score: 1

    WHy dont you check their site before flaming. They made exactly what you described 2 years or more ago. It has a passthrough 2 RJ45 for all OS's and a USB redirect mode for wifi. The speed of the USB was 1.1 with that model which is why these new models are much better. However, I don't give a $hit about the passthrough for corporate use, 99% of the time users with laptops will be using wireless in redirect mode. So now I can keep my Cisco network and also only allow internet access remotely with the use of a PICO. If they unplug it, no internet. This is perfect for corporate use.

    This USB model works entirely in redirect mode, packet inspection. If you want their older model get the Yoggie Gatekeeper that DOES have 2 RJ45 ports.

    They probably never used the receipts, Ive never had a problem returning something there without one. For example Im guilty of this, I had a ps2 controller that broke due to static (2 in one week I might add)- FYI, dont get close to them if your charged! Anyway I just walked in with the controller and walked out with a new one seconds later. I originally bought it at Gamestop, they turned my return down, but its hard to believe that no one caught on.

    Very true, I think Ill be going with a 15" incher as soon as I save some loot. So expensive! Though it is nice that they hold their value. I would get an IMAC G5 but after owning a laptop as my main workstation for so long its too nice to be le to sit on the couch. :P

  15. Design is set Im sure on Going, Going, Gone: IBM Sells PC Group To Lenovo · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am posistive the design will stay the same. I have a first generation thinkpad and its identical to the new ones except its about 2 inches thicker. The same parts will go in and the same subtle changes like the improved trackpoint will appear. The only think this will cause is lower prices. I understand the jacked up prices on desktops servers but the thinkpads need to come down a little. With Leveno in charge maybe they will design the ultimate HOME laptop like every other company out there, IBM has kept the line too business oriented. Give me my 128mb Graphics Thinkpad! (I need to play warcraft in various locations lol) I currently play on a dell inspiron 1100 with 64 mb shared, 256 total in machine and a 2ghz celeron processor. Long story short its slowly making me sterile its sooo hot. Thinkpads are always nice a cool, well more cool anyway. Ill stop rambling now.

  16. Pay per Play system? on World of Warcraft Launches · · Score: 0, Troll

    I read through this thread and I dont think I saw anything regarding this but how about a pay per play system? Pay 15 bucks to start and that would get you 30 days. To make it simple just charge 50 cents if you sign on 'that' day. So for me if I only play 3 days a week. Im only playing 6 bucks a month. I dont think this would take away from profits too much but would bring in many many more people. What do you think?

    Nicotine and alcohol addicts use the same excuses when it comes to the money they could
    save on that $4 spent on a packet of cigarettes
    or bottle of liquor. "wtf is $4? what can it buy? a hamburger? half a textbook? 4 pencils?".


    That analogy is flawed, this would be for the greater good of everyone not for personal pleasure.

    your computer. It also contains a small collection of Free and Open
    Source software shipped in Ubuntu that you can install on your Windows
    system.

    The Live CD is only available for Intel and compatible "i386"
    processors.

  23. Comment from Article on Securing Pricelessness · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Comment from the article, kinda interesting.

    My experience with Museum Directors and Curators is they like to show painting without intrusiveness, such as a low rail or rope. One thing that is less intrusive than placing a low rail/rope across the painting, is putting pressure sensors undernest the flooring that are wired in an alarm point system. This can be addressable to the painting name, gallery and location. Which is capable of notifying the control room security staff as well as the guard in the gallery. Example: if the alarm should be activated the camera would automatic override the monitor that the security staff may be looking at to and give immidate location of the painting as well as the orgin of the alarm right on the monitor. It is also possible to have your CCTV system program to follow movement such as room to room. The options are unlimited with today technology.

    P.S. Because of todays technology, the trend is now away from breaking after hours into museum-its now armed robbery during public hours.
