Um, hire intelligent users? We know that isn't going to happen though. So take your password, keep it in your wallet. You don't leave that laying around, do you?
Or, have one master password (use that for your machine password), and PasswordSafe to store all your other passwords. You can remember one password, right? Even if it's slightly complex?
Security requires all parties to work together, or it's useless and easy to circumvent.
If they're willing to not pay attention to the RFC, then I'd bet they are also willing to spam the shit out of me. I.e.: I won't do business with them, then.
I disagree. If that were the case, why aren't our cities, metropolitan areas, and hell - whole regions like New England (which is as dense as any in Europe) wired better?
A) you admitted to watching Knight Rider. Please hand in your geek card over there --->:)
B) thats a TV show. What about movies? Granted, even at 3GB, I don't watch 33 movies a month, but between that, torrents, regular usage, VOIP, large emails, etc etc, I'm slightly worried.
Having said that, I have no real clue what I use now. I'll load up DD-WRT and get a clue. Thanks to everyone that dropped some help.
I have Charter (no choice, its the only broadband, including DSL, available to me). Does anyone know of a way I can monitor my usage, to make sure I don't go over the cap? You KNOW Charter isn't going to give me the tools to do that myself...
Can Tomato or any other linksys alternatives do this?
Have you ever tried managing 17,000 desktops? No, didn't think so.
Most large corps run WSUS, with updates on a weekly schedule, at most. To do otherwise would cripple the network, or require such an investment in equipment and manpower as to be nearly impossible to pull off.
Having said that, most large companies also have a mechanism for quick-release of highly critical patches. I know we rolled out the MS08-067 patch to our desktops immediately, and had a 98% acceptance rate within 3 days.
How about more nefarious things, like home heating/cooling systems. Power outlets that heart monitors are plugged into. Space heaters, electrical closets.
Kill the power to the fridge. Damn, there goes $400 worth of food. Turn on someones microwave while they are on vacation, and they come back to a $500 electric bill.
Not to mention the worry about botnets. Right now, they number in the millions. If every appliance can suddenly participate, it'll be billions.
No thanks, you can keep my appliances/lights/furnaces/toiletpaper off the net. Thanks, k, bye.
a decent lens would be nice, but it would be better if it didn't take 3 seconds from key press, to the camera actually taking the photo. That and 'shutter speed' generally sucks, resulting in out of focus, blurry photos of subjects that are looking away cause the damn phone took too long to snap the pic.
Bah, I'll just keep lugging along my digital camera, I guess...
I agree - I've had a great experience with GOG. The 'extras'they toss in - manual in.pdf, concept art, extras etc. with each game are an awesome addition.
At the $6 or $9 price point, games are almost an impulse buy for me now. I just hope they can get more publishers to sign on with them, and expand their catalog.

Yeah, cause sitting in a 2 hour traffic jam in 90 degree heat without AC is an option.
Maybe if you are a masochist :) Sure, I know SOME people do it, *I* just don't want to.

what a pedantic, arsehole reply.
Screw my karma. You sir, are a dick.
which works great, until they audit the GPS results vs. your odometer reading.
we got fat and lazy. Literally and figuratively.

with their image search. Where is the outrage there, like Facebook others have mentioned?
Don't get me wrong, I hated the diggbar, and havent been to digg since they implemented it.
If they're willing to not pay attention to the RFC, then I'd bet they are also willing to spam the shit out of me. I.e.: I won't do business with them, then.
um, what about using it on machines that I don't have admin access on?
Machines I may not want another file system driver on?
Library machines, corp machines, etc.?
because I don't want to pay $456,784 for a lightbulb :)
I disagree. If that were the case, why aren't our cities, metropolitan areas, and hell - whole regions like New England (which is as dense as any in Europe) wired better?
um, thats a GOOD THING? Then, maybe someone can hit these guys with a clue bat, and get their infected machines taken care of?

every Netflix on-demand video is about 4-6GB.

100GB, jesus that sucks.
...just do the cutover, get it over with. Sure, a short term pain, but I'm sick of hearing about it.
Really. Just do it already.

Yes, the 'notability' guidelines are for crap, really. Its completely arbitrary as to what the mod of the day thinks is 'notable' or not.
and they call themselves 'linux admins'?
Geez, low barrier to entry you have over there... :)
Input validation is your friend. Without it, things like
''; DROP TABLE *
could be possible.

Rated funny? This is one of the most serious posts I have ever read on /.
