Actually, I should clarify. The three levels above are the three ordained offices. Also, the Church took its organizational cues from the fairly well-organized empire it started within.
Actually, the Catholic Church is a bit flatter than that:
Bishop
Priest
Deacon
The Pope is the Bishop of Rome.
Cardinals are Bishops who are allowed to vote in the Papal elections.
One Archbishop per Diocese, who's responsible for the parishes. Each parish is headed up by a priest.
But yes, the structure works because of the division of area into (arch)Diocese, Parish and so forth. At the parish level, responsibilities are further divided if need be under the guidance of a parochial vicar.
In principle, each parishoner is only 2 levels away from the Pope. My priest answers to his bishop, and our bishop answers to Rome.
I've done IPSEC tunnels between 7200's and PIX 520s. It can be a little hairy the first time, but the example configs on CCO are a huge help. And for God's sake, be careful with the ACLs.
There used to be a canonical list of BBS's published by someone named Skib Sebak (sp?). I can still remember some of my favorites: PBBS, TiBBS, the various CoCo boards, Nochange (lots of games here)....I would hit all of them with a Commodore 64 and a HesModem at 300 baud....
(SIGH)
And now, to complete my retro moodiness, I return to my regularly scheduled screwing-around-with-xmame.
I was disappointed by the David Lynch version in the mid-1980s, and thought that this was well done. The visuals were beautiful (though a few loq-quality matte shots could be seen), the score matched well and the costumes were superb. And it was shown in letterbox. This made the DirecTV subscription worthwhile. Somebody asked about the low audio, relative to the ads...an A/V guy in my office mentioned something about it being originally mixed in Dolby 8.1.
My only question: when will it be released on DVD?
You should take a look at the essay by Jaron Lanier in this month's Wired. One of his points is that for machines to become self-replicating, they will have to write their own software. Which means that we have to write software that will write software. And the generally sorry state of software shows that we're not up to the task.
I found it to be a refreshing counterbalance to the Joy/Kurzweil hysteria of recent months.
I used to subscribe to it...the ultimate hardware hacking magazine EVER for Commodore machines. One of my regrets is that I lost all my back issues when I went off to college. I had a 2 year run plus a bunch of older ones I bought a flea markets. I'd love to have them back, if for nothing else than the Jim Butterfield columns.
(sigh)
On an unrelated note, I still have the pull-out schematic from the Commodore 64 Programmers Reference Guide and am thinking about having it matted and framed.

It was, unfortunately, a fairly typical corporate presentation, unencumbered by any real hard data.
They simulcast the CEO's announcement from NY, and we heard from another high-level manager, some dude from Oracle and a pre-recorded "howdy" from Larry Ellison. This was followed by a lunch break, some local presentations, a brief panel discussion and the requisite giveaways. Linux *did* get a mention in a couple of slides.
A great deal of time was spent talking about how great the Compaq/Oracle partnership is. I asked about Informix benchmarking, but didn't get a whole lot of response beyond "we expect the results to be good."
Whatever. There wasn't much in the way of new information. Lots of processors, Tru64 Unix scalable, manageable, really fast, etc, etc.

Based on the MELISSA hack of yore. It's working for us, and will return the mail to sender. This will work as long as a variant doesn't appear with a different subject (at which time, you simply add another pattern and appropriate error message) Be on the lookout for the tab-separation that is required for sendmail.cf files. The MELISSA hack comes with version comes with 8.9.3, so have a look at the features for recompiling a new CF file.

I've read Kahn's _Codebreakers_ and Schneier's _Applied Cryptography_ and thought I'd pretty much covered the popular offerings on the subject, but picked up Singh's book based on an NPR interview I heard with him.
It was great. I even got my (non-crypto-geek) wife to read it, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a little lighter on theory, but richer in descriptive narrative. If you've read Kahn, you'll find many of the same episodes related in The Code Book, but Singh does a better job of describing some of the historical contexts (specifically, the activities of Queen Elizabeth and Sir Francis Walsingham).
I was also glad to read some decent coverage of the much-under-appreciated Navajo Code Talkers of WWII, which barely rates a paragraph in Kahn. (By the way, The History Channel just ran an entire hour on the Code Talkers on their "Histories Mysteries" series - highly recommended)
I liked The Code Book so much, I went back and picked up his earlier book, _Fermat's Enigma_ and was enthralled by the 350 year quest to solve the Theorem.
Buy and enjoy. It deserves a place on the bookshelf next to Kahn and Schneier.
My first-ever exposure to Unix was Xenix running on an Altos86 in my high school. The basic login script for all student users was a text menu from which you could choose BASIC, a spreadsheet, some simple database and a couple of other things.
It wasn't long before we learned we could ! out to the shell, and with the Unix System Administrator's guide on our laps, we pretty much had free run of the thing. Right before I graduated, I got stuck in a Programming 101 class. I looked at the syllabus, realized the teacher was teaching straight from the book and did the whole quarter's worth of assignments in about a week, after which I had 9 weeks to screw around, though I spent most of them playing Hunt The Wumpus.
I still get nostalgic for that old beast (the machine, not the wumpus).
I hear you. I just resurrected my old Legend P-90, and slapped NetBSD on it, so as long as the thing doesn't spontaneously combust, I expect it will damn near live forever. Someday when I get DSL, I expect it will do just fine as a firewall.
...what sort of RC5 keyrate will they get? Another poster mentioned Moore's Law and consumer electronics. Wonder how long before I can have everything in my house cracking keys during the night....mmmm....Inferno RC5 client.....tasty.
