While I truly love wireshark, if we're talking microsoft server admin, you might want to think about Microsoft Network Monitor (current ver == 3.4). It does most of what wireshark does but pairs packet streams to windows processes. If you're on an enterprise premier support call with Microsoft, they'll only accept a pcap from netmon.
Better yet, improve relations and economies on both sides of the border
i think he's right... you know, I wonder how much security we would need if we did things like practice what we preach, swallow our pride every now and then, admin we screwed up when we do? Bad example: (not that Canada is the model country by any stretch) part of the reason we don't *need* a huge military force is because lots of countries *like* us.

While it *may* indeed be horrible for DMCA opponents if/when it's drafted, this awful bill doesn't even exist yet and there's been no indication it's on the docket in the near future.

disregard of public opinion on what? DMCA? The economy? the environment? I'm a conservative, a canadian, AND I agree with and suport fair copyright - but c'mon... this aritlce kinda sounds like flaimbait to me...
but you could bury it with a basic cheap laptop (with wifi/ethernet & usb)... put your stuff on the laptop hard drive & duplicate it on a thumbdrive and CD and DVD (all cheap)... There's simply no way to know for sure what will still be there, but you're covering a lot of bases. Heck, skip the laptop if it's too much and put it on sata disk, CD, DVD and thumb drive... all are cheap enough.
What's interesting to note is that the method for solving the cube in the least number of moves is NOT the fastest - there are very few speedcubers that use this method in competition.
The majority of speedcubers (myself included) use a method developed by Jessica Fridrich over 20 years ago commonly referred to as F2L (first two layers).
It takes quite a few more turns to solve the cube, but when you are executing 4-6 quarter-turns per second it's not speed of turning that slows you down, it's how fast you can recognize your next move.
I've been with dreamhost for awhile, and the only trouble tickets i've entered have been related to their webmail being slow to the point of unusable. A few weeks ago, I saw the option to use google show up in their new domain creation wizard and took advantage of it, and switched all my mail to google for 5 of my production domains (make sure you create the account on google's side first).
My experience so far has been great - it's fast and reliable. Did I mention faster ? Google has significantly more invested in their webmail backend than dreamhost, and their use of ajax makes the ui nicer and email management faster (love the shortcut key feature "press R to reply").
I even downloaded google's email uploader and uploaded the last year's worth of email to google, and I still have only 1% used (of 6.7GB or something).
Search is the other huge advantage. It's fast and relevant, and the ui makes it quick to iterate through the result set. With the last year's worth of my email now sitting with google (yes, the sidebar ads are all targeted now, but i never click them anyway) i haven't used outlook since i switched.
For my clients, the move to google also gave them document collaboration and shared calendaring all with their own corporate logo (in place of the gmail logo).
Remember, all of the above is free - i'm not paying dramhost or google anything more for this. I still have the option of using their mail system if any of this doesn't work out.
I'm all for protecting personal privacy, but if investigators are using these tools to comb through your PC, you don't need to stop using windows - you need to stop committing crimes.
I heard that if you pressed UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-LEFT-RIGHT-RIGHT-A-B-A-B it takes you to a hidden screen that lets you put in how many times you want your vote to count
you're probably the type of person that would have said a billion-dollar homeland defense expenditure was a waste as well, before 9/11.
I would think that most people agree that a missle attack on US soil is at least a possibility (top military minds seem to think so)... and if it is, what do you do with that information ? You spend the money.
Lets not kid ourselves here... the "convenience-factor" is the issue that will tip the scales. The buying public really only cares if its going to make their lives easier.
My last job was managing a wireless retail store - and although I happen to drool over specs, most people think benefits, not features.

... The Return of the King, which opens in theaters December 17, will feature almost 50 percent more f/x shots than The Two Towers and will be composed of more data than the first two movies combined. Churning out scenes like the destruction of Barad-dûr and the Battle of Pelennor Fields (with thousands of bloodthirsty CG Orcs) took 3,200 processors running at teraflop speeds through 10-gig pipes - that's one epic renderwall. What else went into making Frodo's quest look so good? By Weta's account, more than you might think.

According to observers, 75 percent of companies have been infected with undetected, targeted attacks
anyone else wonder how that's measurable?
i remember hearing about something one could drink that would achieve similar results ... with the added benefit of making everyone look better ...
[But the CEO of a rare earch supply company said] 'From what I see, security of supply is going to be more important than the prices.
He must be awesome at security, because I've sure as heck never heard of a rare earch ...
something tells me this is not how you behave to your wife ...
