You're right. It looks more like they are blocking delivery because he is running a mail server. Lots of ISPs want you to send and receive only through their servers. The summary here looks bogus.
You still send 8 bytes of preamble, which is the part of the packet needed for collision detect, and have an interpacket gap, even on a switch. All that the switch does is prevent you from sending all packets to all branches, it doesn't eliminate the collision detect timing. On fibre channel, packets can be closely spaced because idle characters keep synchronization.
Oh sure, accuse someone else of making blanket statements and then come out with this. You can't claim that all Fox News reporters are biased, rating-driven, spittle-faced lunatics just because 99% are.
And yet fibre channel loops are essentially token ring and fabrics are switched. High speed networks work better with tokens than with collision detect and you can use a higher percentage of the bandwidth. The problem with collision detect is the idle time waiting to make sure that you are the only one trying to talk. For short packets you lose up to 50% of the bandwidth.
That's an unusual condition. Have you looked at the wearable computing projects, and do you think anything like video recording would help you get back to normal after an episode? The main problem with the stuff is that its fairly intrusive right now.
Not only do you get locked in automatically, but the other weird thing that they did was the "only unlock the driver door" feature. Now I always have to hit the button 3 times to make sure I have unlocked the tailgate. Once should open all of the doors by default. If I want the new, magic driver-door-only feature it should be a configuration option someplace.
There is a lookup table that codes a string of 3 bases into an amino acid. Getting in and reflashing the table in the genetic BIOS is what would let us really use the new codes. We could add a code to produce acid for blood if we want to build Alien, for example.
ATMs and debit card terminals typically use simple dialup and encryption. It would certainly be easy enough to get a job as a store clerk and record the transactions. I'm betting that even with a phone number and a thousand sample transaction recordings you would not get very far trying to hack into a payment processing computer.
For most programs there was some sort of design document or requirements document, or both, usually out of date by the time the program was finished. Maybe start with that and all the meeting notes and emails about changes which have taken place since and use that to update the document. Once you have a spec that people agree to you will be on firmer ground.
I like doxygen for inline documentation since it is easy to keep updated as you make changes.
Idiosyncracies -- too true. One guy hated gotos so he had something like below all through his code.
"In all intended uses of a zone transfer, the secondary server is operated by the same party that operates the primary server. A secondary intended purpose for zone transfers is to permit trouble shooting in which case zone transfers may sometimes be undertaken via the manually conducted host -l command. In those instances, however, the person conducting the diagnosis acts with the authorization of the operator of the system and is usually the network administrator for the system."
Sounds like the judge understood it pretty well to me.
In order to get UL approval, it is OK for your electronics to explode or burn up as long as it is contained inside the case. To burn down a building, either there was something on fire that dropped out of the bottom of the case, or somebody left flammable stuff blocking the air vents on top. If the former than the manufacturer is at fault. If the latter, then the user violated the manufacturer's instructions. Fire investigators should determine which it was. I know that monitor manufacturers will never make the top of the case flat to prevent users from stacking things on top of the air vents.
I have designed the read/write electronics for a hard disk. I'm speaking from experience, not just making stuff up. You think about it. You have to be able to write track 17 hundreds of times without degrading the data on tracks 16 or 18 and you can't position the head exactly. So in fact the write has to be MUCH narrower than the track. There is plenty of room to step sideways and the read electronics is very good at picking out a good signal from noisy input - it isn't just a simple amplifier. The reason drive manufacturers do microstepping error recovery is that it works.
I didn't say you could recover all the data or even most of it. I just said that one write is not enough to guarantee that all of the old data is unrecoverable. If you aren't planning on destroying the disk, you should do multiple writes with different data.
Drive heads are necessarily narrower than tracks so they don't corrupt the tracks on either side. Head positioning is also not perfectly accurate. If the old data was written slightly off from where your overwriting occurs, it may be possible to position the heads to pick up some of the old data. Many drives attempt to recover data from bad blocks by microstepping the heads and rereading. If you really want none of the data on a hard disk to be recoverable, its best to destroy the platters. The branch of government that I've worked with uses the "marine with a sledge hammer" method followed by incineration of the debris. Its good for us because we never get failed drives returned that we have to replace under warranty.
"Maybe I'm living under a rock here, but I've never really seen evolution demonstrated. I've heard plenty of explanations and leaps of logic attached to it, but I've never actually seen anything evolve. And even if I did, that still wouldn't demonstrate that evolution is the origin of life. That's why it's a theory, because we can only infer, we can't demonstrate, and unfortunately no one actually witnessed it."
I'm afraid you have it totally backwards. Evolution is the fact, not the theory. Darwin and many others observed that species evolved. For example bird breaks are different in areas where different food is available. The theory that Darwin came up with to explain this was the origin of species through natural selection. So arguing against evolution, which creationism does, is arguing against facts.

Because when they landed on it, it brought up the Apple command menu.

Yes. But how about if you cross a tomato with tobacco?

You want the ppp howto from 1997. See the sections on automating scripts and routing issues.

Is that the optimal way to find that information or is there a faster way?
