As a Hokie, I just have to ask you how in the world can you possibly say that transfering to VT wasn't the best thing that ever happend to you in your whole life? Just the football alone is worth it! Go Hokies! Muck Fiami!
"Its Worldwide Military Command and Control System, built in the 1960's, often failed in crises. A $25 billion successor, Milstar, was completed in 2003 after two decades of work. Pentagon officials say it is already outdated: more switchboard than server, more dial-up than broadband, it cannot support 21st-century technology.
And they honestly don't think it will be the same storry again this time?
I'm not sure if that punt was intended or not, but I'm sure with this headline in the news, it'll be a bit harder to convince those senior citicens to get on one of those!

"Check this link if you're still not sure what the OQO is."
You couldn't find enough room in the cover story to describe what it was, so you linked to a web page that was/.ed when there was a total of 1 comments posted. Great Job!
"Now it is time for the facts, and NewsForge can definitively say, based on material and quotes from Larry Rosen, Dan Ravicher, and Eben Moglen, that Connolly's legal threats against innocent Mambo users are baseless."
Did anyone else know that the title of the book and film contained the same letters? Just goes to show how much effort they put into making the movie as close to the story in the book, and at the same time make it a good movie.
"The report also says that the number of users of broadband services (speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions) soared to 28 million in December 2003 from 9.6 million in 2001."
Doing my own math here:
12/2003 - 12/2001 = 24 months;
12/2003 - 01/2001 = 36 months
So is it:
6,900,000 people / 24 months = 287,500 people/month
6,900,000 people / 36 months = 191,667 people/month
"The truth is, there is a smorgasbord of infectious agents and diseases out there waiting to be released, contracted, and spread - plague, tularemia, SARS, Ebola, Marburg, West Nile virus, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, to name just a few.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is suspected to be passed to humans from cattle and other animals that have Mad Cow Disease. As far as I know, they aren't even sure yet if that is true. Nor is there proof that the diesaes spreads between humans.
If you falsly identify yourslef as an employee of Bank of America to obtain information you are not entitled to, you have committed a crime.
If a person is foolish enough to provide this information or not does not change that fact. However, in an argument over who is liable for the stolen money, the argument changes.
For one, the person that provided the money never expressed the concent for that money to be removed from the account. At the same time, the bank had no way of knowing if the person that spend the money was the real owner or a scammer.
Or did they? What if is someone told the bank before this happened, that these Spam E-mails were happening. Can the bank still say "We had no reason to belief that the person that logged into your account and transfered it to somewhere else, was in fact someone else than you?"
Once the bank has been informed that the phishing E-mail are ciculating, I think it is an uphill battle for them. Here is where the agreement form comes in that many people sign when they apply for online banking. I'm sure in many of them the bank's customers wave any rights to be reimburst for damages during such incidents. If so, then the client doesn't have a right for reimbursment from the bank.
This is purley for a legal point of view, and IANAL.
Where does it say that this is only for ammercians? I whish they would say in the title what the content is, without having to RTFA to find out if it is intersting or not!
Here at Virginia Tech, as part of the AUP, you are only allowed to connect one MAC to each portal. This holds true, even if that device has NAT enabled. Basically, you pay for hooking up one computer, not for one port to be used however you like.
When enforcing this policy, they usually try to be as reasonable as possible. So as long as your actions don't cause any problems for anyone else, there is usually no problem.
As soon as a wirless router interfears with other people accessing the internet (be it through a fake DHCP server, or whatever) they just turn off the port to that device.
Hey! Just because you can name 3 places that are worse than Phillie (which I don't even know if that's true) doesn't make Philly a save environment. I have lived near Philly from 98 to 01, and I am very well aware of what was going on there then.
And if you can explain what
VERY SMALL handful
means, maybe I'll consider re-reading what you wrote.
Well, that's the reason I didn't complain about the $1.5 Million/year in operating expenses mentioned in the article. They are only talking about equipment and installation.
The city's chief information officer, Dianah Neff, is quoted in the article:
"If you're out on your front porch with a laptop, you could dial in, register at no charge, and be able to access a high speed connection,"
[Emphasis added]
I have never seen a wirless dial up modem before, have you? I also hope they don't plan on using Blue Socket, out of personal experiences of a much smaller installation attempt.
On a side note, I don't think I want to sit on the front porch for too long in Philadelphia. That might be a big health risk! Shouldn't they fix those issues first, before they worry about being at the forfront of wirless access?

Ok, where is the button to rate abusive moderators?
So where are the facts?
So are you suggesting that I should find a women that can dual-boot?
Google finds a whole lot of exploids for this guy. Ranging from apache to AIM away message buffer over runs.
Now I have to get this game, download Kerry and Bush, put them into the same house, and see what happens...
Or you might just read the book: "Rocket Boys"

Will include build-in firewalls?
Sorry, I just had to do this!
Hey, don't give any ideas to the terrorists.
Oh, wait a minute... You mean that Pr0n I downloaded today had the blueprints of the pentagon imbedded?
Doing my own math here:
So is it:
I just RTFA, and I agree:

I love secret photos, especially when they are on the Internet and /. links to them!

The article says that they would use houndreds to thousands of wirless access points. Let's assume that they end up using 10,000 access points:
$10,000,000 / 10,000 access points = 1,000 $ / access point
Does it really cost $1000 for hardware and installation if you do it 10,000 times?
