The general public (unfortunately!) hasn't heard about slashdot.
Just last week, I was telling my co-workers that my friend got a story submission posted to slashdot, and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about. These people all have the internet at home, and regularly surf the web, so it's not like they're completely clueless when it comes to the internet.
I installed Shorewall at home, but halfway through the configuration realized that it can't be used to filter traffic through a Layer 2 Bridge, which is essential for my setup.
will remain on the cutting edge of firewall management
Firewalls are the front line of defense of a DDoS attack. The technology on both sides is just an arms race, so it's impossible to have a fixed point that remains on the cutting edge.
Whether or not you do a lot of heavy duty off-roading, you should look at the higher end, heavy duty shocks for your vehicle. They may cost you a lot now, but will not require replacement down the road.
Well, like I said- this is for a new type of weapon, not for off-roading. Weight and strength are the primary concerns. Like I said, this is a local tournament, so we may have to sacrifice weight for the moment, and move up to better shocks once we've got some prize money.
It shouldn't be too hard to get some prize money, though. We are using Embedded Linux for the onboard logic, so we will definitely have the most "brains" of any of the other bots. Most people are using weak VDHL logic boards, and only one other bot is using a real OS for the brains, and they're using Windows!! They'll probably crash in the middle of the fight, since they're aren't using rock-solid open source software.
The 6WD chassis we're using is one of the most bump-tolerant platforms around. It can go over railroad ties at top speed without problems and without going airborne. The center of gravity is low.
I'm curious- what sort of shocks were you using? I'm creating a a robot for a local battlebot-style tournament, and I'm in need of some heavy-duty yet lightweight shocks. It's for a... let's say... "creative" new type of weapon:)

Did this spark anyone else off to reminisce about transformers? "Autobots, Transform and roll out!"
