It would be wise to disable SSID broadcast in these situations. Otherwise, as most WiFi discovery programs see it, you are inviting any 802.11 device in range to connect to and use your AP regardless of what the SSID reads.
You have old AC filters? My company has one big fan attached to an exercise bike, and every one of us 8 in IT have to take 4-hour "cooling metrics" to keep the data center cool at "a reduced cost". They don't even have an iPod for us to listen to-- we have an old 8-track with a Barry Manilow best-of stuck in it.
Considering I use MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DB2 both for home and work projects, I'm getting a copy for myself. SQLite info would have been nice though as I'm planning some work with it too.
You can use rate-limiting to achieve this, its what I do on my own firewall:
block in quick on $external_interface from <badguys> to any pass in log quick on $external_interface proto tcp from any to $external_interface port 22 flags S/SA keep state (max-src-conn-rate 5/60, overload <badguys> flush global)
In this case, if any single IP tries to make more than 5 connections to port 22 on my firewall in 60 seconds, they are added to the <badguys> table, which is blocked. Works like a charm for brute-force ssh attacks.
Considering OpenBSD's pf packet filter already has support for connection rate limiting (and it works quite nicely), I'm inclined to agree with them. You could always run sshd via inetd or xinetd for connection limiting if needed.
Whining about it years later because you're not getting rich off it doesn't really seem like an honest answer to the question, why close the source, does it?
Quite succinctly, Deraison said "...we have been fueling our competition, and we want to put an end to that." Seems clear to me.
As long as everyone who contributed to the code over the years is cool with changing the license to closed-source then go for it--but don't play it off like it's the community's fault that your company isn't listed in the Fortune 500. Right?
I didn't get that impression at all. He's blaming his competitors who are riding his coattails, not the OSS community.
I would have to add the Fallout series to the list of single player games with replayability. Well, Fallout 1 and 2, Fallout Tactics has too narrow a storyline and becomes somewhat redundant during replay.
The thing is, once you get enough single player games its easy for them all to be replayable. With as many PC games as I've collected over the years, I have a rather large library that I can cycle through. I've managed to play largely-linear games like the Myst series over and over again simply by putting it down for a year or two and then revisiting later. Perhaps I'm alone in this though.
I second this. Over the last two years I've bought 5 laptops from Retrobox for myself and various family/friends. Reasonably priced and all problems are mentioned up-front. Just be sure to price a spare battery on eBay after buying one, as the battery is not warrantied and my success rate with Retrobox's batteries are less than 50%.
I just bought a ThinkPad A30P from these guys with a 15" 1600x1200 UXGA screen for under $500 and its the best computer purchase I've made this year.
Considering the hookers in GTA charge on the order of $1 a game-time-minute, a typical Grove Street prostitute runs you less than $20. In my experimentation, more often than not I've come out with a positive cash flow in the end.
Beating up hookers for fun AND profit.
Along these same lines, Rockstar and GTA have also proven to me that its not only cheaper, but better for you physically, to buy a Mr. Pibb or Andy Capp's Hot Fries than it is to actually have sex with a hooker.
On an OT note, I've discovered the quickest path to riches (at least with my gaming skill) is to become a fire fighter and I've made myself several hundred thousand dollars simply by putting-out car fires. How parents can see that this game imitates REAL LIFE is beyond me.
One significant reason for a dual setup is HA/redundancy. Unless I'm on a platform with redundancy built-in, two firewalls are a must as hardware on one will inevitably fail. This has been a requirement on every corporate network I've supported.
Now if they would only open source Netscape calendaring...
Did RedHat get rights to Netscape Calendar? I thought that was all sold to Steltor as Steltor CorporateTime before it all got gobbled-up by Oracle and became Oracle Collaboration Suite's Oracle Calendar. The only reason I know this is because my company was a legacy Steltor CorporateTime customer and we recently completed an upgrade to Oracle Calendar as support was about to expire on the Steltor product.
If Netscape Calenedar was open-sourced, perhaps I could better-understand the proprietary database backend used with it.
How interesting that this was reported just two days after I completed my famed Damn Wormholes! bumperstickers. Buy many as they are now unstable and may disappear or explode at any minute.
I personally think Permutations is perhaps his most-diverse album, and certainly the quirkiest (followed very closely by Bricolage). Nightlife and Toys will forever be on my iPod, I come back to them again and again no matter my mood in music.
Even before he was Amon Tobin, he was Cujo, and he released one album under that name-- Adventures in Foam. Its not (in my opinion) nearly as diverse as his recent stuff but there are some good slow downtempo jams on it (very good chill music).
It scales better than you might think. Half of the (memory) resources utilized by KDE, OpenOffice, etc... are for the shared libraries that these applications need. You only need once instance of a shared library loaded to support any number of applications utilizing it. Similarly, OpenOffice or KDE might take some time to initially load on the first powered-up LTSP client, but anyone trying to access those apps afterwards would see a much-improved loading time due to caching. If you've played with an LTSP lab (as you say), you probably already know this but I'm providing some info for the benefit of other readers.
I have K12LTSP installed at home in my lab with a few clients utilizing it. The key points to a good LTSP server is A) an ample amount of RAM (the more the better, but at least a gig is needed if you're supporting more than a handful of clients) and B) very fast, preferebly SCSI, hard disks. I've seen more than one LTSP installation get a much needed speed boost by replacing PATA drives with LVD-SCSI. I haven't yet played with SATA disks, but I imagine they would fare similarly.
Not if its in your "employee handbook" or whatever stipulations of employment you agree to when you take the job. My employer has this, as does many employers of people I know in technical and non-technical industries. My employer has a policy that they may monitor any employee communications conducted on their premesis or transmitted through their network.
Seconded.... I downloaded the 10.1 disc1 this morning to do some initial installs, and will get the remaining discs when my subscription package is mailed to me. Subscriptions are a fantastic way to offer continued support for something as keen as Slackware.

'Round these parts, its possible to get laid BECAUSE OF a 20-sided die. Of course, having a high Charisma doesn't hurt either.
Several WPA variants (as both a client and host AP) are supported, just not added to the handbook. Since hostapd and wpa-supplicant are brand-new with this release, the docs still need some work. A work-in-progress version is available at http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1 /articles/wireless/article.html
Dang, I just submitted this. Ah well, perhaps I'll get a dupe...
Slashdot has now silently slipped into the next phase of its existence, where visitors not only expect but hope for dupes.

so's mine, what's the story?
Yes yes yes, but that doesn't mean the peanut gallery can't provide near-useless advice anyway! I mean, what else would we be doing on Slashdot?

When you only have one mouse button you tend to find extra time for other things.
