This is the third or fourth time I have seen *this specific paragraph* posted on/. Me thinks that someone just blindly posts it whenever they see "FreeBSD" on slashdot.
If you think BO is a breach of privacy, then just wait until your company is bitten by the Windows Terminal Server and MetaFrame bug. Such wonderful features, like "ghosting" (remote viewing/control) without user notifcation (the admin can choose to pop up a box warning you). There are all sorts of log and audit trail things, and if your company has a proxy server, than your web activity is prob. also logged.
Even worse, if you have a decent PBX/Vmail system, then administrative stations can log and save your call activity, break into calls without notification, etc.
The amount of privacy one has at a workplace is suprisingly small.
PS - Most IS people that I know don't like to target individuals for monitoring, and when it does occur, it usally happens at the request/order of The Boss.

Yes, Breezecom makes ethernet bridge products that are supposed to work reasonably well, albit at 1mb.
The eMate was like a Newton on steroids (ran NewtOS 2.1, IIRC). It was intended for a school setting where students could use it for notetaking and assignments, and then upload their files to the teachers eMate or computer for grading. Nifty, but not very practical.
Bah! The Darwin List is *much* better than the "Darwin Awards", from content to writing style. There's nothing like waking up in the morning, checking e-mail, and finding a a magnificant 5 page flame adressed to a tard that has defiled the sacred list.
Oh, and I forgot: Ghost should work with any OS. If it understands the filesystem (FAT,NTFS,maybe HPFS) then it will use a highlevel (file) copy, if it doesn't understand the filesystem (ext2, ffs) then it will copy the disk/partition block by block.
$40 per machine, you cannot use the same license on more than one box. And you also need GhostWalker (to change the NT SID), one per machine of course. I belive that we bought a site license for Ghost, GhostWalker and GhostMulticast for about $10,000. GhostMulticast is very cool: you boot all the machines you need, and one machine broadcasts the image file to all of them at once. Makes setting up 50+ machines very easy.
(Offtopic: Why the fsck did Symantec have to make Ghost an ugly pseudo-gui? Argh)

As one who has braved under the house to run catagory 5, I can say that there is MUCH more geekyness in running the wire, putting together the little panel-boxes, etc than buying premade preboxed kit. And live video from across the house gets more oohs and aahhs than an ftp session.
If they are supposed to, they are not. I can (personally) see my X10 devices from the neighboors house, and there usally about one-two people a month on cha that have these sort of problems.
you lived in a house that could have its x10 units controled buy a person in a seperate house next door? and this was accomplished by the X10 signal traveling through the wire on the pole? i find this very hard to believe, in fact it should be impossible.
It is infact possible, everyone served by your transformer can see your X(-)10 and you can see theirs. If you have problems with things turning on and off (esp. a round times like 6:00 or 7:15) , you can get a "line cleanser" from a place like SmartHome. I know Leviton makes one, and there are others. Some security systems use X10 as well, and can cause things to turn on and off seemingly at random.
The CM11a serial protocol isn't easy per se, but it isn't that complex either. There are some nasty gotchas, like (AFAIRemeber) a result code that could also be interprated as an result code. A nicer (than the official X-10 one) protocol guide can be found here along with a nifty command line X-10 interface program (named heyu). The newsgroup comp.home.automation is a good resource for X-10 and other HA related things.
NT has nothing to do with it. The card needs a 'wake on lan' feature (ie: intel 100 managed). When it sees a 'magic packet' (a packet addressed to it's MAC with the contents being it's MAC repeated 16 times) the card triggers the ATX motherboard.
But how on *earth* can *anyone* get away with charging a third of a million dollars for a computer *case*? I think it's the chassis, powersupply, and (most importantly) the backplanes for the system cards.
I have found that a bootable CD rom with a shrinkwrap image of a "fresh" machine is great for fixing a b0rkened mac. Or, even better, have them boot automaticly at 1:00am, and run Assimilator at 1:10am, and sched. a shutdown for 2:00am. All the machines will feel fresh, perky, and ready for a new day.

Oh, really, does that include VMWare?
Why yes, it does. My workstation is a P200MMX, so I didn't run VMWare for very long, but it ran properly.
MooooOOOOOOOO! *SPLAT*
I am sure there is an offsite backup, but owned (or paid for) by Harvard.

NYSE - ticker SPERM
I belive symbols have to be four letters or less, but SPRM is available on the NYSE.
Sounds like a tricorder, doesn't it?
Sounds like a Newton.

X116.3 server for BeOS. Wasn't very hard to find (Be.com-Products-3rd Party Apps-All-X)

My toshiba DVD player has a big (ugly) TOSHIBA DVD Video logo that shows a powerup, and the LCD panel scrolls "Welcome to Toshiba DVD". Close.

How'd it get into Scott's palm? At some point (unless someone used pocket c) it had to go from pc/mac/whatever->palm.

As I have been told the revolution will not be broadcasted, do you know if it will be posted? And if so, where? (SegFault?)
The main problem is not the machine, but the connection to CRL.
