If you have alot of neihbors around with thier own WiFi routers, and alot of the channels are used up, how do you make sure you are not connecting to someone elses (which can be illegal.) Right now I live in an area with only country folk on Dial-Up where few people have wireless (other than the local school) so I don't have to worry about this yet, I evne get Adelphia's advertised permium broadband speed. But when my neihbors switch over, I am worried about connecting to their router, and I wouldn't really want to share my solar "hotspot" (not because I am greedy, I just don't let unauthorized machines use my network)
I think I speech for the Slashdot community when I say that I am going to miss these interesting programs. With Jaschan being convicted, and Claria being bought out by Microsoft, how am I going to have an excuse to go out to an extended lunch, or take the rest of the day off? My company only gives me one hour to eat lunch, which is not nearly enough to go to Wal-Mart and get my four litres of Mountain Dew, my two coffees at Dunkin' Donuts, with my two dozen donuts, and then make my way over to Burger King. I hope someone replaces Jaschan soon in the name of giving me extended lunches and days off to code. Does anyone else feel this way?
I previously ran Slackware for many years on my desktop and laptop machines, with OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD for firewall, servers. Now the desktop machines run Debian, which has saved me alot of time with the excellent package management. I may replace Slackware with Debian on the laptops. While running well on my x86 desktops, Debian has also installed without a hitch on my 1.25 GHz Mac Mini, with nothing more than a hassle-free kernel recompile to get sound working. I have become much productive. I don't if the increased productivity is the package management features, or that I switch from 28.8 kbps Dial-Up to cable. I hope Debian fixes their security problems so I can look forward to the next release.
It would be nice if Apple would offer a machine with one (two would be even better). I know they are going to be using PowerPC for a while longer. Maybe when Apple stops using PowerPC, another company will come along and start putting these chips in desktop machines (are there any already?) In all honesty, I use a 1.25 GHz G4 Mac Mini with Debian Linux, which compiles my source fast enough with GCC, same with my x86 desktop machines. This is probably more for a server. With IBM getting away from hardware manufacturer, who will offer this CPU in their servers? Disclaimer: Right now my server is a 300 MHz x86 PC tower with FreeBSD.
Actually, as this is the "Open Edition," it is not intended to be thread safe.

I recently switched to Firefox because my ISP told me it would make my computer faster (something to do with the Internet breaking my computer?) I will tell you that this new Firefox VPN doesn't have the popups that Microsoft's Internet had, but I miss the search bars. It is good that Google ported their searchbar from the Internet to Firefox because before I had to use the Internet to do my search, then quickly close it before hackers could get in. I think it would help the tech community alot if more companies would port their Internet searchbars to this new Firefox VPN. I miss the porn searchbars I could use when I used the Internet to explore. Does anyone know of any other searchbars for this new Firefox? I can't to try tabbed searchbars in Firefox.

How to Obtain Free Oxygen...Story at eleven
Seriously, isn't this obvious by now? Obtaining free software by using free software (as in beer and speech) is not unknown. Nowadays any school system administrator or teacher marginally computer illiterate is at least partial aware of opensource software like Firefox being free as in beer (they don't understand what free as in speech means, and won't listen when I try to explain.)
No offense, but your post seems to be a generialization of Linux. What Linux distribution did you use? I use Debian Linux desktop machines (both my Mac Mini, Presario desktop, and Dell Dimension) and currently have Slackware installed on my laptop. While getting everything the way you want may take longer than Windows, once you get it the way you want, you (provided it is configured properly) don't need to bother yourself with excessive maintenence. Adding another machine is quick because I just need to set it in/etc/fstab to mount NFS from my FreeBSD (not Linux FYI) server and access is instantly provided to my mp3's, source to programs I have been coding, etc. Thanks to ReiserFS on the Linux machines and a UPS on the FreeBSD and NetBSD servers, and OpenBSD firewall machine, threats of data loss are virtually nonexistant (short of outright hardware failure of my aging machines, which I have never had a problem with, even with my 133 MHz ten year old NetBSD IBM Aptiva for Apache PHP) I think both OSes have their advantages, but what I have does everything I want and I would rather have an initial bother of getting it setup than a continual burden of maintenence.) You probably don't mind maintenence, I guess I'm lazy. Albeit, I do plan to setup a Windows 2000 machine to port programs which use Xlib directly to Win32 (I have alot of spare time)
I personally run Debian Linux as desktop OS on my desktop machines, and the *BSDs on my firewall and server machines and entrust my source backup to the FreeBSD machine with NFS, but it is not hard to have a Windows machine that is spyware free. I have my grandparents, non computer savvy teachers, and many relatives who call me "computer whiz" (which is annoying) setup with Firefox and a software firewall (I'm not going to setup an OpenBSD machine to firewall unless they give me more than four litres of Mountain Dew) and they have no problems. They all run Windows {XP, ME, 2000, 98} without problems. With Firefox and gmail, they have never complained about the computer "being slow" or "crashing alot" now. This is a simple solution that ISPs like Adelphia should solicit to customers, instead of blooding blocking ports to "protect" less competent users, and annoy the rest of us like me. These teachers and relatives are soliciting Firefox, gmail, and a software firewall to all their contacts.
I have no spyware or malware on my computer. I only download good programs, like Bonzai Buddy and smilies for my Outlook Express. When I am not using my computer, and while I am using my computer too, I let my computer send out e-mail and perform security audits on other Microsoft Windows computers! In exchange, I get free, unlimited access to special money saving offers for products from many reputable companies, such as Pfizer.
Is this going to be a comprehensive selection of music that includes Clawfinger and Rammstein, or is this gloing to be limited to top 10,000 songs on American radio? Personally, I live at my own house rather than on campus so that I can have my own cable Internet connection that does what I want, not what the university wants, minus of course Adelphia's terms of service agreement. So for now, my FreeBSD server can host mp3's to computers on my LAN over NFS, but I can't let my mail server or Apache have their ports forwarded to the OpenBSD router, because Adelphia blocks ports. I think universities should allow each user to have their own Internet access (maybe an independent ISP for dorm rooms via wireless?) so we can do what we want. Universities shouldn't have to deal with Internet access, and idiots that run unpatched Windows XP SP1 machines directly off the network and eat bandwidth.
I have been using iConnectHere, which is very affordable, but I have problems with not being able to connect, and problems with audio make it impossible to hear the person on the other end. Other times, it works fine though. Perhaps they have too many users?
Any chance this would run other distributions like Debian, or maybe even a *BSD
like NetBSD (I do know that OpenBSD runs on the PalmOne Treo 600)? I looked at the product section of MontaVista Software and it seems to be a commercial distribution with no "community edition." The only thing close to free as in beer is the free preview kit I wonder if it would be possible to apply their source packages to come up with a free (as in beer as well as speech) distribution, like CentOS did with RedHat Enterprise Linux. Does this already exist? I realize distribution maintainers need to eat, but I think the pricing model of Xandros would be better, if not a distribution like Debian or Slackware. OTOH, I see some Debian packages for cell phones here., and there is a page for *BSD on mobile devices (cell phones, PDA, laptops) here.
Spam is an excellent resource. With spam, you can receive valuable money-saving offers on quality products manufactured by reputable companies like Pfizer. Also, spam is a great way for distressed, generous Nigerians to communicate with Americans to facilitate the transfer of their riches to America.

Anatomy of a Hack

Isn't hacking more about the creation of something than the destruction of something? This sounds more like cracking. Anyone can open up a locked car with a coat hanger and hot wire it, but that doesn't make them equal with the skill of the engineers that created the car.
A worm is not likely to be interested. Worms have a very simple nervous system (one "string"). Their motor skills are poor. Their central nervous system does not meet recommended requirements, but I am worried most that there is no keyboard compatible with worms. However, Google has developed a system to allow the pigeons they employ
to use computers to rank search result relevence. A modified version could work with an earthworm.
I thought that was what spyware was for? When you are not using your computer, and while you are using your computer too, let your computer send out e-mail and perform security audits on other Microsoft Windows computers!

Sometimes, it is easier to demonstrate with graphics, but a powerpoint presentation (or OOo presentation) with only a few words is not good either when demonstrating to more than a few people. Your information should be represented in many ways (graphical, text) because individuals learn things differently.
Yes, we are. The slightly overclocked Intel Pentium 4 chips we are using are speculated to cause enough smoke to trigger a mass extinction. We are testing our chips under water. We hope Japan doesn't get pissed off and raise the fees on memory manufacture for our machines, so we are giving Japan the first machine off the line free.
