Everyone seems to think it is always better to use stratum-2 time servers. Well, I use the closest (Ping and Hop wise) 3 servers that I could find... (one str.-1 and 2 str.-2)
Here is the (chopped) output from ntpq -c peers.(Sorry about the formating... Slashdot doesn't support tables!)
My cheep ISP (who's name ends with izon and starts with ver) only has one ok connection to anything, and that would be the MSN network (which is where time-nw.nist.gov is). My connection to time-nw goes through less routers and a less congested pipe than any other time server, causing less stress on the Internet as a whole. Modern hardware will saturate most Internet connections well before overloading the server when serving NTP... it really does not take that much processor power. Also I am paying for time-nw in my tax dollars, so I don't see any reason not to use it.
The parent is correct...
The network was broadcasting a invitaiton.
Not only that, but DHCP was likely used to Request info nessisary to connect. Using a DHCP client (such as dhclient) does the following:
1. Client Broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER to find the server.
2. Server sends back a DHCPOFFER offering services.
3. Client sends a DHCPREQUEST to accept the offer.
4. Server sends a DHCPACK to accept the request and provides nessisary info or Sends a DHCPNAK to reject the request.
Using DHCP is asking if you can connect, and when the server (the AP in this case) replies with an IP address and other info, it is giving you permission.
Only 1000 students per T1 line??? Your school must have A TON OF MONEY! My school district has ONE T1 LINE connecting 3 schools to the internet! And these aren't small schools. Total their are about 4000 students on a T1 line. It typicly takes 10-15 seconds to load one page from Slashdot... But some how they managed to find the money to upgrade all their computers to Windows XP (Lets just say Bill is "Giving" them some encouragement...).
Actually, they are not free. In order to use any of Microsoft's "free" software you need their Operating System (Windows) which is NOT FREE. You are paying for both SUS and WSUS when you buy Windows.
You get 40kb/sec! That seems fairly fast to me. If I could download anything on the internet at 40kb/sec I would be happy. The fastest I seem to be able to get is 28kb/sec...
First, according to Google the movie is really called The Tao Of Steve.
Second, you can tell if a movie is good or not by how may people are seeding it's torrent. Well this movie does not even have a torrent! It must be a fairly bad movie.
It needs to be an open standard, with an open-source client.
It might not be an open standard, but Flash does have a Open Source Client.

Go ahead, call a telco and tell them you want 25 Mbps to an American residence. I dare you.
I think they would be very happy to give you 25 Mbps to your house! You just have to be willing to pay them $10,000 a month! (Hint: It's called a fractional T3.)
It is an answer!

Well, I am forced to go to this public school every day... and every one of their computers, including the one I am at now, has a cd-key sticker on it! Lets see, this one is K49T7-F9YWC...

...his neighbors should be using WEP or WAP for wireless security in which case he cannot connect to those networks without knowing the "keys"...
What about all the idiots who enable, or if it is enabled by default don't disable, "Remote Administration", and don't change the default password (or port).
It's crazy how many wireless ap's you can find With WEP and other wireless security enabled, but no wired security. (Just use `nmap -sS -p 80,8000,8080 [IP RANGE OF YOUR FAVORITE INSECURE ISP]` if you want to see for yourself.)
Back when I was in high school (89-93), the geeks in the Computer Club made a fortune with a matchmaking program they wrote.
This matchmaking program (or a variation of it) is still around (the survey was sent around my school today)... and still making money. Just not for the computer club. (Stupid Junior class always takes all the good ideas for themselves!)

What about running linux on the web server?
Everyone has web servers running on linux, but I haven't seen linux run on a web server yet!

Actualy, it happens very often, usualy more then once. A article about the same topic was posted just about three months ago...

I have some older dvd's and after geting a new dvd player (with all that CSS crap) I can no longer skip around in the MAIN MOVIE. It is very annoying.
