Israel. At least it is in the Middle East.:-) Do you know how much support the US government gives them? It's on the order of $4 Billion / year in arms, etc.
Agreed. I've setup a client to use AOL over broadband (Comcast if it matters) and it works fine. And yes, she does know that AOL isn't so great and is starting to get fed up with it herself. But that is another story...
You just have to change the connection option from dial-up to high-speed existing internet connection on the main splash page. Works very well.
Two things though. First, that router is the one that had the security holes recently.:-)
And second, you can get a NetGear WGR614 for $59.99 from NewEgg.com (I've got one on order) and there is a $20 rebate on top of that. You do the math.
Plus, at the university I work at we've been doing testing using the WRT54G base station and it frequently dropped wireless connections. Hence the reason I'm getting a NetGear.
Actually, the XP firewall will block Sasser and all those other nasty viruses. Granted, it will block other stuff you want, like printer sharing, but the XP firewall does work.
Case in point: a guy at work left his new XP computer installing with his network cable plugged in over night (so that the install would finish). When he came in in the morning, there were two viruses (Sasser and Gaobot on his computer). He re-installed, turned on the XP firewall with his network cable unplugged and then plugged his network cable in. No viruses.
At that point, you do of course go to Windows Update.:-)
But couldn't you put a root owned file in your home directory at the top (using a . file or something) that would break the rm -rf ~/ ? Seems to me it would error out right away and then the trojan wouldn't get anywhere.
Because users couldn't get updates, I've seen quite a few of them go out and buy legit copies at work. The reason being they were going to lose network access if they didn't!
Do you need comments/suggestions now or after you finish up school?
And do you want them through email or the forums?
Noticed a couple of things that seem like they could use fixing, so I'll keep you posted.
Finally, do you need help on the project? I've done some Cocoa work (not a whole lot) and I'm willing to help if you want me to. But if this is your baby, let me know.
Unless of course you program using objects and subclass from a generic DB object. In which case, you define your PHP PostGreSQL DB object at the top once and then call it just like you called your old MySQL DB object.:-)

Yet another reason to use the Google toolbar instead. Granted, you have to run Ad-Aware first, but better safe than sorry.
Uh, what is wrong with time.nist.gov ?
Yeah, he did specifically mention Java. However, what he said was "just don't do it". :-)
Not exactly glowing praise.
Oh wait ... :-)
Sure would. Even Macnn.com had this posted two days ago. What happened to new news?

Wow, almost exactly what I've been looking for!
