Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) introduces a new registry subkey that lets you mark USB-based storage devices such as memory sticks as read-only devices. This is a useful security capability that can prevent users from copying data from their systems and taking that data offsite via a USB device. To enable the USB write protection, perform the following steps:
1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\StorageDevicePolicies subkey. (Create the StorageDevicePolicies subkey if it doesn't already exist.)
3. From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
4. Type the name WriteProtect and press Enter.
5. Double-click the new value and set it to 1. Click OK.
6. Close the registry editor.
7. Restart the computer.
To disable this change, you can either set WriteProtect to 0 or delete it.
You should be able to roll this out as part of Group Policy or a startup script.
I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Sveasoft yet.
Linksys Access Points are based on linux and they opened up the firmware under the GPL. Several groups have released modified firmware, Sveasoft is just one of them.
I have 2 linksys WRT54G access points in my house. Only one of them is plugged in to the cable modem. The other connects back wirelessly over WDS. I can connect to the internet from either of them.
One of the best things things is that they allow you to crank up the transmit power.
If I were you, I'd get a few of these things...get a couple of high gain antennas and set up a WDS network. Completely wirelessly...
Why would you submit a link to your site on the front page of slashdot if your server can't even make it through the first hour of a story?
At least make a text only (no db) version of the story to post. It may at least stand a chance then...
The awful thing is that this is going to be just another reason for Congress to loot the NASA money bag.
You're serious? Isn't it NASA that loots MY money bag? I'm all for exploration, but please spare me the pity party because Congress may want to save me a few BILLION dollars.
This is not true. Each individual SSL hostname must have it's own IP address. However it is possible to run HTTP and HTTPS on the same IP address. As a matter of fact, I have about 1400 HTTP vhosts and 7 HTTPS vhosts running in one Apache process on 7 IP adresses.
Yes, it is possible. Yes, I highly recommend it.

No long time computer user can go shopping for RAM (or other parts) without a quick visit to The Computer Geeks.
