Sounds like the poster has the case of server room envy, so bad to the point he is willing to build the experience right into his own home. Sadly this is probably because he cannot find a job where he is access to a raised floor area, and he is jealous. No telling why he is acting this way, but we could guess it because his own incompetence in finding these kind of jobs, or a lack of them in his local. Whatever the case maybe, had he actually worked in a place that has raised floors, especially for any prolonged amount of time, would cause you to associate them to *AHEM* work, and not the sort of thing you want around the home. I recommend spending the money on more schooling which is a better use of the huge amount of cash that it costs to have raised floors, UPS systems, diesel generator, or whatever else it will take to get this guys expanding inferiority complext smothered. I bet anything the poster is a short fellow too!;)
Obviously the child is under 18, and as such is not responsible for his own actions to some certain extent. I suspect video games of this nature have warnings for parentals to read how the game might contain violence, or explitives. IF the parent purchasd the game, they are liable for exposing their psycho kid to an inappropriate video game.

In realistic terms, would you have predicted such rapid advancement in computer processing power over the last 9 years? Ok, so maybe the answer to that question is yes, but
Or since this is an uber secret, way ahead type group of folks, maybe they knew it would be broken back then, and used it to their advantage against you all this time.
I don't have to mess with dependencies with RPM's, or deb's, or whatever flavor of package.
The system installer is better than what Slackware had in 1997 (when I moved to BSD).
FreeBSD is not controlled by a dictatorship (Linus, RMS, et'all).
The GPL has a major restriction that what it links with must also be GPL, and that sucks. BSD is way more altruistic to the notion of "no strings attached" open source.
The same people working on the kernel also work on the C/C++ library's, and the userland. There isn't a zillion loose canons developing in different directions.
Updating a freebsd system (3rd party packages) is much easier with the ports system, and it is FRee. You dont' have to pay a subscription to use up2date, or have a local satellite server.
Staying current (base system) with fbsd is much easier with the various source code syncronization systems.
I can run all the Linux apps I want on FreeBSD.
sysVr4 style init system is lame, and cause you to edit a zillion startup scripts, where in BSD you just drop the changes for your system in rc.conf.
I can use whatever desktop system I want, including a fully loaded KDE, or Gnome. I use fluxbox myself.
acceptance of good ideas, and rejection of bad ideas by a congress of fbsd commiters. This keeps fbsd on the cutting edge, and maintains stability.
Documentation! FreeBSD has the best docs of any Unix like system around.
Finally, to those Finux users who think they are 31337 because they joined a smaller group of computer power users, just try to put your self in the perspective of any FreeBSD user that migrated away from Linux to get away from you (the hoard of crying windows haters)! Linux has become diluted with wanna-be's looking to be l33t.
Iran can censor all they want, good for them. Less terrorist network communication, right? If not that, then at least the evil Americans are not infecting their Islamic minds with free thinking, and crap like that.
I think that if they don't like the consorship, they can protest with their authorities, or move to a free country like the USA for which most of them hate anyways. Ironic huh?
This is nothing new, Verizon already uses Voip on the back-end of their cellphone network, although most people don't know that. VZ is converting their entire telephony network to a managed IP network and all call legs are slowly being converted to Voip/Sip. So that means for cell phones, the switch at the tower does the conversion of voice to IP, and the end-user is never the wiser. Now a cell phone that has a sip stack is an entire different thing, and that is being worked on. In other words there are two Voip implementations: one, where you have Voip from the phone you use (has an Ip address, etc), and two the transitional where you get a typical phone and that is converted to IP down-stream. So cell phones these days can connect to an IP network, browse online, etc. once that is more standard you will start to see cell phones that have optional soft-phones built-in aka SIP plus RTP stacks.
I can narrow that down. HL2 allows grabing objects, throwing of objects, puting down objects, outdoor maps, and driving vehicles. Doom3 has the physics capability to have the same type of puzzles in HL2, the grabbing of items, etc.
I don't choose to forget that the Doom-3 engine itself is the product ID is selling, not the game. However Valve is primarily a game development studio, ID is a technology driver. Valve makes games to be playable (to sell units), where ID makes them to be pretty (to sell engine license). Granted the two are not mutually exclusive goals, but it is the current reality.
As far as gameplay goes, technically speaking Doom-3 has better level transitions, lighting. I think what I need to illistrate the points here is taking both engines, and creating identical maps with an emphasis on comparing the same level design, texutes, camera angles, and lighting. People have actualyl been doing this, by using HL2 textures in the Doom3 engine, and Vice Versa.
I am one of those suckers that basicly built a new P4 system to support Doom3 prior to its release. Actually I got doom3 for free when I purchased my nVidia 6800 GT board which is the one recommended by ID for Doom3. So Doom3 works pretty good for me, with minimal technical glitches, and smooth level transition. The graphics are exceptional in illuminated or dark environments. I haved beat Doom3 a few times as I go up the lader of difficulty. I'm half way through nightmare level, but I've put that on hold as I have purchased HalfLife-2, and Halo-2. I beat Halo-2 in a day, don't even bother.
Technically speaking HL2 is a nightmare. Installing the game requires 5 disc's which scares me. Doom3 uses 3 discs though, and new games tend to have more, so it isn't a major bitch. The major bitches include a few things like the product registration. Firstly the product registration is insane, and I have never experienced a more overtly anoying process than this. Force feeding me steam is not good taste, although I used to endorse it back when I could play the original HalfLife for free. Anyways, Valve installed Steam, and steam took forever to download, and decipher some files. I don't mind a game contacting the mother ship before I play, but this was horendous. Moving on in the list of major bitches, the level transition takes forever, and does't indicate any progress. The only what I know my computer isn't locked up is by pressing the num-lock or tab key, and seeing the lights. Other not so major of a bitch issues include a few visual glitches durring fast movement or rapid change of Freeman's view/perspective, especially durring combat.
I don't seem to recal any moment where I drove a vehicle in doom3, althought I keep thinking that I'm forgeting something? Anyways, HalfLife-2 has some great outdoor areas. The problem is having a design that works for outdoor areas means either having really huge outdoor maps, or have anoying outdoor level transitions. Sorta like hitting an invisible wall that causes an annoying 2 minute level transition. HalfLife-2 actually has both huge outdoor maps, but also long map changes once you venture off the edge of a map. I don't seem to recal Doom-3 having any outdoor areas aside from the ocassional skybox map on the surface of mars where you quickly leave for a finite Ox2 supply. In a Weird way I kinda percieve Domm-3 story line to be very similare to the original HalfLife storyline, athough the ID people seem to claim that they are just retelling the original Doom story, just different. I seem to recal some physics in Doom3, but it was realistinc, and minimal. In HL2 I can pick things up, thrown them, put them down. Valve takes it to the next level with a gravity gun that you only get once you get beyond the first few levels (further than the guy doing thsi review has got to). THE gravity gun lets you move heavy objects, and repel smaller objects at high-velocity.
My conclusion is Doom3 has a technically better game play, less fuss, more fun. HL2 has equally impressive graphics, better use of physics, and better interactivity with the world environment.
I also have a bitchy so-called web master that wants root access, but I finally figured out it is his ego getting in the way of his own work. Ultimatly I created a sandbox where he can have root. Finux useres can try User-Mode-Finux hack, or if you use FreeBSD you can use a jail/prison, in Solaris you have containers, everwhere else you have chroot. Certainly my developers see my policies at politics, but I see it as idiot control.
Any mention of DRM on a device that I as a consumer is going to be exposed to in my purchasing decision is likely to cause me to seek alternative options. Furthermore, being catigorized into a nice neat criminal compartment in Ballmers mind doesn't give points for any future Microsoft device. The Xbox is one thing, but a device that essentially is designed to replay music I have from else where is hard not to be a thief if your opinion about the sony-beta max case is one of needing repeal. I'm just as opinionated about "thieves" bveing bad people, and how easy it is to be a digital thief not unlike anybody who (for example) breaks the speed limit on the highway. However, Apple has become the industry standard at legitimate music downloading. Their Itunes store, and their own semi-proprietary format says it all. Certainly puirchasing a song from the itunes store, or even now at the realmedia venue, is not criminal. Obviously the device is versitial enough to play the mp3 format, but who is to say these files are not also legitimate, also to Ballmers credit who is to say that they are not. In the end I'd rather have the option to not be a criminal and have more versitility.
When I worked as a Unix guy at Computer Associates, who fired me for reporting them to the BSA, I fondly remember being told that CA policy was to delete all email off the servers after a period of 90 days, and that no email server was to *EVER* participate in the enterprise backups. In other words, if any email server had a failure which resulted in data loss, that data was gone, and the hundres of affected users were down shit creak with no paddle. I was informed that this policy was enacted several years previous when the SEC busted down the doors and seized the emails servers looking for some evidence against the company. So CA simply made it so no email is ever kept on any archive, less it be the users own personal archive on their computer terminals. Even then, most users would have to delete emails in their own archives to cope with space issues. So enacting laws that requires companies to retain an archive si a bit silly in my experience. Also, what would happen if a company retained an archive of email, but encrypted the mail data-base, and keyed it on the users password? Would that violate the letter of the law, or the spirt, to retain the emails in a cipher-text format. Certainly you could get a court order to force somebody to provide the password, right?

If this poroject was really about security and less so about the ego of the principle developer, it could easily continue to exist with any number of free web hosting solutions for open source projects. The fact that the kit is available in the GPL just goes to show the principle developer has an ego that prevents the project form being free, or he is greedy and want to assymilate any tweaks somebody else might have to contribute. IS it really so hard to get a source-fourge account for the project which will host the project for free; NO! The simple answer is this is just a last finalyl plea for attention by some whimp that doesn't have a life.
Besides all that, grecurity doesn't do anything special above and beyond other security kits. Extra random ip sequence numbers (give me a break), a more hard chroot (please, everyone does this), users not being able to see the proc of other users, this is a standard feature of most *nix systems these days (I guess finux lags). Roll based security scheam (he doesn't give much detaisl of that). So all in all it seems that the project isn't that good, and should probably just use somebody elses kit instead.
This is why the old 4-clause bsd license enforced the notion of not being able to remove the copyright notice itself, and always giving credit for authorship of the code, plus the normal lack of warranty bits. RMS has quotes on the internet and his fsf.org site about this, and to summarize he says that it is too much of a burden to mark the names of each and every contributor to the code. This is just the way the GPL assymilates code, and makes it stink. Marshal is probably right about this since he was at the CSRG when BSD came under the gun about att code infringment..
Now I'm stuck with an older version of the book. Guess maybe I can sell it on Amazon to some tard, but what tard would actually buy the first edition? Guess I'm the tard with an old programming book. Damn it!
Consider that on a T1, you can generate 1536 Mbps = ~4800 RSTs per second. If you know ((src addr, src port), (dst addr, dst port)), and assume a 32K window, then you need to send at most about 217 RST packets to hit your target. 217 / 4800 =~ 27 seconds.
If you have to guess the source port, then we're talking about 216 times as many packets needed, which is still `only' about 20 days. Of course, the window is sliding during that time... I'm not sure right now if that makes your chances better or worse
As you can see TCP sequncing is fairly random in most of the IP/TCP stacks out there in commercial use. The reasearch paper mentioned in the article only applies to the OS's in the above link that dont' have near true 32bit randomness.
The feasability of overcoming realtime 32 sequence guessing is insane, however non-zero. just my.02c
Anybody remember that independant island/country/state named havenco, which is situated off the coast of the United Kingdom? That is setup specifically for this type of subversion, butit costs $$$$$, and is well worth it. There is no chance of them taking the site down unless Apple were to hire a gun ship to go in and force the situation, and I hardly doubt that will happen because havenco has guns too!
Why would I use saphire, which is probably very expensive to appropriate, when I could just use mineral oil to do the same exact thing more cheaply? For those that are not aware, mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity either, although it *does* get things "wet". To be fair so does saphire, but the way it touches a surface is different, not unlike the way teflon touches things in an inert way. From what I hear saphire was invented for clean-room fire situations like at a data-center full of computers. This stuff will add an extra notch in the 99.9% uptime of any facility who has it.
