Flashlights are inexpensive, both in knowledge requirement and in a monitary sense.
Ham equipment, on the other hand, takes knowledge obtained through practice, and a fair dime to buy. Were something disater to happen to me, I could use a flashlight. I wouldn't know what the hell to do with a HAM radio, on the other hand, because I've never used one. Therefore, it makes sense to maintian public ability and interest in shortwave all the time for the times when disaster brings need of their services.
The exterior is pretty toned-down (aside from the blue led on the front, which I have unplugged for sleeping purposes), damn quiet, and well thought-out from front to back (drawers for all drives, rubber-mounted fan/drives, etc). For those who believe that the style of a case need not end once you open it, it's a good choice.
Actually, you can get the "one big option menu" in SuSE's YaST. I've recently had experience installing that in a lab setting, and it was fairly mindless to install/set up (do you want to format? Yes. Do you want to install? Yep. *hour later* Okay, we're done, here's a big menu that configures everything from now on.)
I personally wouldn't run it (prefer the hands-on touch of Slackware on my own machines), but for use in a lab or for a new user it's quite nice.
The company would have plenty of recourse to fire him. This does not give a person the right to make networks insecure with an access point. It just ensures that your personal access point in an area where you have controll over (such as an apartment the student has leased, in this case) can't be disallowed because the landlord decided to put up their own.
The naughty businessman theory fails for a few reaons. 1. They could fire him for attaching an unauthorized device to the network. 2. They could fire him for willfully breaching network security 3. They could fire him for enabling a wifi device in a secure area (this is where they DO have control of the situation, since the employee does not have exclusive controll over the area he's in).
It's an entirely different situation unrelated to the university's decision.
Hey, it's just like the origional article where nobody can read.
This has zero to do with the integrity of security on the school network, because the issue was between the students personal APs competing with that of the school network. The peronal APs were NOT attached to the school network in any way, shape, or form, and were placed on privately paid for connections via SBC/Yahoo and Comcast.
If you would kindly read the article, you would realize that thinking that the idea of students placing what effectively would be a unsecured repeater of the school's wireless signal being the issue is somewhat silly, for two reasons. 1. That's a clear violation of the agreement between the student and the university concerning security and their unix id. 2. Why would students need to do so, since the network is fully (and only) wireless to begin with?
Not only was the ban lifted, but an apology was issued from the head of IR at UTD. He took full responsibility for the ban (which wasn't run by him before being put in place, afaik) and the less than tactful accusations in the notice.
Anyway, there's been much geek rejoicement over the past week.
Slightly more complicated than that, but you are close. The university owns the land the apartments are on, but the buildings themselves are owned by a private company.
Apartment means apartment. As in I live in an apartment, pay my rent at a leasing office that is NOT the university, and have a kitchen/washer/dryer. This also happens to be on campus, through some weird decisions the uni made back 12 or so years ago.
I handwrite XHTML quite a bit, and it's rather easy.
What is so damn hard about closing what you open, quoting attributes, listing a doctype, nesting properly, and writing tags in lowercase?

Run through the tech tree, then go for Fundamentalisim. There repercussions for that form of government were far outclassed by the *amazing* ability to build wealth and power for your fight against the infidels.
I may be mistaken, but I'm *fairly* sure that the switch to a GSM network meant taking a hit to voice quality to offer the capability of data transfer.
What I do know absolutely is that my GSM phone is incredibly crappy for carrying on a conversation. Random amounts of sound get totally cut out, and the quality of sound that does get there is nothing to write home about.
Yep, aside from changing permissions on halt and reboot to allow regular users to use them (*glare*), Dropline-GNOME is the best thing since sliced bread. It's made me enjoy GNOME, which I really didn't like before I installed Dropline.
Article is toast, so this is just a guess, but here's what I'd do to get my desktop up (seeing as I've been using Slack on the desktop for 6 months now, I'm still pretty inexperienced).
1. startx
If that doesn't work, use the CLI configuration tool to write an xorg.conf to fit what you need on your system, and all it requires is a limited knowledge of what your monitor supports and what video card you have.
2. alsamixer, and unmute sound.
I have no damn idea *why* that defaults to muted, but it does. Then, if that doesn't work, it's time to poke around in the kernel to find what you need as a module. Same as just about any other distro I've tried, really. Not too many of them tend to have a module for my nForce2 chipset handy.
3. Go get a well deserved victory sandwich. Enjoy.
Or if the form is particularly stupid, fake@fakemail.fake. I love that one.
Why do I do it? Well, I need a usable inbox, and a useable inbox isn't one who is getting hit with (or sorting out with filters) site's advertisements that I have no interest in.
Considering that Texas alone is larger than Germany, and that the US only has...what....3 times the population base to draw funds from? Thanks to that, it would make a large scale transit project rather difficult to get acceptance/funding for, when there is no burning desire in the public eye to get it going since there are other means of transport (air travel and hopping in one's own car as I do). When making that comparison to Germany, people often don't cosider the amazingly low population density of the United States west of the Mississippi. It's very far from being a similar situation.

`/sbin/lcpci -v` usually provides enough information to get me by on a new box to get hardware up. That, and a bit of google afterward.

Uncheck the box associated with the DE you don't want.
Not hard. Same goes for the most general packages in Slack, and most other distros I've installed.

Yeah, my origional article didn't make it explicitly clear to most people what the problem was, apparently.

There was ever a reason?
Slightly more complicated than that, but you are close.
The university owns the land the apartments are on, but the buildings themselves are owned by a private company.
No, they can't. Nobody can legally enter this place without my express permission or a warrant from a judge.

The university doesn't own the building. It's owned by a privately owned company, but on university land.
Slackware was one of the last major distros to change over to X.Org.

It's a bad time to be attending a university about a half mile from Alcatel as a CS major, I tell you what.

Yup. Not portrayed realistically at all.
