Yeah, I'm with you on the VPN but I'm out of resources to add that in, so I rely on the WPY on the 2Wire and the open port on the linksys being enough to distract a hacker. Firewall is handled both by the 2Wire's internal firewall for the LAN and WPA'd WiFi, and other than the squid proxy there is no firewall for the open WiFi port. I used to use a Cisco firewall but it croaked. -nB
Teenage alcohol intake is a leading factor in [...] starting a dependency that will carry on through life etc. Really! Wow! Why then does the US have a higher rate of dependence on alcohol than Italy or France, both countries for which there is no minimum legal drinking age? While I don't see the need to feed a 12 year old whiskey and vodka, I also see no problem with said same 12 year old partaking in a champaign toast, a sip of wine, or with an 18 year old drinking anything they like. Got a problem with that? Raise the age of service to 21 and I'll raise my "no problem age" commensurately.
You are not my kids' parent. I am. My kids will be allowed to drink with the toast at age 12. That is my decision as a parent. At age 16 I will allow a glass of wine with dinner. That is my decision as a parent. At 18 a beer after working outside in the sun. That is my decision as a parent. Their education on DUI will be complete and thorough, the penalties if I catch them severe (they _will_ prefer jail time if there ever is a second time). That is my decision as a parent. Their parties sober will be sober (I'll even spring for the "non" alcoholic beer keg). These are my decisions as a parent.
Multiple medical conditions are caused by alcohol intake including, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary aretery disease, cirrhosis, liver failure, esophageal ca, stomach ca, etc and the lists goes on. like reduced LDL, reduced incidents of heart disease, reduced incidents of Alzheimer's? All from the phenols found in wines (and to a lesser extent beers and red grape juice)
Lets hope your son won't be one of those that goes and drinks because his dad said it was okay and then gets killed on the road drunk driving. That is the only statement you made that I think everyone agrees with. . . because it's the only one not trying to impose your misguided morality onto others.

Easy block the standard port ranges, shape traffic for multiple host connections trafficking datagrams of the proper header. Or like me, have the proxy corrupt any file download ending in.torrent:-) works well enough for me. -nB
never mind that even if the available current is small enough that you don't fell the zap, things like your graphics chip or chipset controller very well may when you plug in that properly grounded peripheral;) -nB
I tried for the first two months after I left the group. I sent an email twice a week (Monday AM and Wednesday AM) for two months, nothing happened. I gave up (not my problem). I would have deleted myself, but ironically that required a second admin to auth. -nB
no, just braindead users. Human stupidity knows no bounds. We all know that, and frankly I just don't want to worry about it.
My setup is as follows: 2Wire ADSL modem/router WPA enabled, wireless on. The linksys is configured to use a static IP outside of my local subnet (linksys WAN 192.168.0.1, local 192.168.49.x both mask 255.255.255.0, thus invisible to each other). Linksys WAN connects to the proxy server eth2, which then connects to the 2wire router in the DMZ zone rather than the normal LAN zone. This assigns the proxy an external IP on eth0. eth1 is on my lan, though normally physically disconnected (more due to a physical port constraint than paranoia, but hey it's secure by default!).
All in all this allows me to share my connection to the world, with no worries that the world can see my local network of machines. plus I can unplug the cable from the linksys to the proxy if I need all my bandwith for a time. It's hilarious to see people connecting to the linksys when there are no connections to the outside world:-) -nB
You know, after I left my old department I instructed the manager to assign a new local admin, and to have that person remove my access to the NetApp and server. Two years later I get to thinking how I never got an e-mail from anyone... log into the server and presto! access. Well, I think, maybe they left my user rights because I have a homedir there... Nope! I can still access admin and privileged functions. I have to admit that the thought occoured to me to drop the ACL for everyone and claim ignorance, or even better subtly change all their data and bury the logs...
didn't do it, but I did indulge in a daydream about it:-) -nB
unless it's that few actually check the ssl certificate to see if it's signed by someone trusted... I could have my proxy request the page, accept the bank's cert, then issue a cert with the bank's name in the cert. the average user wouldn't notice, they're conditioned to just check the YES box. -nB
I live in an apartment. My open WAP could (and has) been used like a cheap whore by many people. Alas, the transparent proxy has thwarted many attempts at pure stupidity (using my WAP to do your banking is asking for it), thus https is blocked by default (as is port 21, and 25, and bittorrent).
So the article specifically says once he bought a three pronged adapter the problem was solved. Sounds like it's a dell fault. If they are providing an un-grounded adapter then they should be sure that no external metal components can connect to the line neutral, because while that should ideally be at ground potential, the power spec provides for the possibility of it floating. I'd also like to see if he is shocked by the old setup if put on an isolation transformer.
And if he needs a host to reliably tell his story I'll host him from reallysucks.net, which so far I don't have crap to do with as it was my plan B for farmersreallysucks.com should I have needed a new domain name. Maybe mydellcomputer.reallysucks.net? Just e-mail the admin of the farmers gripe site. -nB
I can buy a dvd player for less than one dvd. heck, I bought 10 of them two years ago as Christmas presents. The sore tried to say there was a limit, but nowhere in their documentation or advertisement was a limit stated. Everyone in the family who did not already own a DVD player and who wanted to see pictures & videos of the (great)grand kids got one, I kept one to test media compatibility on. Now rather than paying a fortune for photo albums to hand out, everyone gets a well produced DVD with chapter selections for various slideshows and videos. If they want stills of particular photos all they have to do is ask and I make them. Now albums aren't gathering dust, and so far all the feedback is positive. -nB
I avoid buying sony/bmg when I can, but they are a single source supplier. One one else makes the same thing they do media wise. WalMart has an alternative of only nominally higher cost with usually better quality: Target & Kohls. -nB
Excepting that the filth amendment protects you from having to divulge the key from memory. The moral? memorize one genuinely strong key. Use it to properly encrypt a "little black book" and store strong passwords to all your other volumes and accesses there. They can never prove you didn't forget the key, especially given the duress of court procedings or police interrogation:-). Add to that the hidden volume aspect of TrueCrypt and you should be golden!
I don't know a single teacher that is any good at their job who doesn't grade papers at home (unpaid), buy some amount of supplies for their class (unreimbursed), and as a result make far less than average on an hourly basis. -nB
I guess I just have a hard time accepting that *doing* the electric slide is infringement. Teaching it and calling it yours, yes. Doing it at a party and posting it on the web, while possibly dumb (in the I don't really care to watch you be a fool sense), should not be infringing (IMHO). -nB
Foo, replying to myself, more stats (the gripe-site in sig), for 2007YTD, I'm betting that most of the hits come from./:-)
