That would probably be the most cost effective solution. It would be cool to set up some sort of cutting edge system... but on a HS theater budget - swinging for better walkie-talkies will be hard enough.
Something with rechargable batteries is what we use at the theater dept at my college. Sometimes someone misses one and it doesnt get charged, but for the most part it works for us.
"Even CD-Rs (so called music cd-r) get "Taxed" by the RIAA" Do you even know what CD-R's are? Its recordable media. My buying a spindle of these for any use... whether its to burn music cds, data, cds or any type really - has nothing to do with the riaa.
Probably alot of people didnt see it as sarcasm - and he made some very good points about the whole issue. So his post is quite valid in whatever context the responce was to.
This was they majority of the comment I had to this article (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=93702&cid=804 2631)
The only other thing I had was if evidance of water is found, then the chances of there still being water are greater - so the ability to do manned research there are much greater.
True to a point... yet when its contract.doc.exe (or.vbs etc) it *should* be noticed. As mentioned elsewhere - educating users is what apparently needs to happen to a greater extent. Just knowing the sender isn't the only precaution - as apparently a large number of people seem to not understand.
As a college student, one who has been one of the resident techs(geeks) who go around fixing peoples computers - How smart a person is doesn't always have to do with how smart they are when it comes to computers. I have met some 4.0 students who i swear had trouble booting their computers. People learn different things. (My girlfriend being one of these) Yes most people these days should be smart enough not to click on attachments - but the fact that this virus is spreading... shows that many are not.

Agreed. I bounce between winxp and mandrake myself.
ummm actually... you wouldnt be able to run a.exe under *nix... unless you were running a windows emulator.
The security holes in windows is what is being exploited, though though the problem is the people who open the door (click on attachments) and inviting the problem.
"They attributed the worm's high infection rate to curious home and small office computer users who could not resist clicking on the attachment."
-You would think by now even the person with the lowest possible computer knowledge would have picked up on this.
Good to see people are getting right on the reporting of this though... now we just have to hope people will update their virus definitions!

Yea... those older ones really lag under all of those ads.
Use google toolbar and spybot and thats been effective in killing just about all of those annoying ads. (no popups at least)

for a democrat? Doubtfull and off topic. Suggesting brands of batteries would have been more useful to the readers.
