If you read the warrant, they just basically wanted their company property back because they were terminating him (from the sound if it). He has checked out stuff from CVS on his personal laptop which he was refusing to return. The company wanted to, rightfully so, remove from him any and all company source code.
No big deal really, I mean he did have company secrets at his home on his computers. They have a right to make sure the data is safe.

This is probably the oldest genre in games that still is being produced. Its old crap, driving a make believe car around? I don't care how pretty the graphics are, its OLD OLD OLD hat and supremely boring. NO innovation has occured whatsoever in this genre for two decades. Please, MC3? You call that innovative? I was customizing cars in racing games on my C64 20 YEARS ago. Somebody kill this genre forever please.
You know, not every household has a ethernet hub directly connected to the internet. What makes you think it would require that? Now, if they come standard with phone jacks, perhaps you may have something to worry about.
Also, the java VM may be part of the standard. That means, to play HD dvd content, you will need to use a player that adopts the standard. Is your $100 DVD player going to play the 40GB+ HD content dvd's? I don't think so.
Umm, you can do what you suggest by doing what I suggested - getting a cheap pentium system. You know, they did used to make server class machines back in the day. You can get a never used pentium server machine for very cheap.
Your method of "doing it right" seems to just use gb nics and openbsd instead of linux which I suggested. Are you suggesting he buy a $1500 machine? When he asked for options under $100?
Oh, gotcha. I'm supposed to know you were referring to lab tests, not the article. Then you slag me for not reading the article, which I did - and posted something relevant to the article. LOL. It must be great being you.
Heartbeat supports RS232, however I find that you really want to be using the network for heartbeats. For instance, if a network card dies, the heartbeat signal would still get through via RS232.
Just use iptables on a cheap old pentium or something. Two network cards, one inside and one outside. Even a modest Pentium or Pentium II could keep up with good amounts of traffic.
Why dont you RTFA? The uses of this on humans is not to KILL them and then reanimate them for no reason. The use for this is to stop somebody from dying from things like a gunshot wound and stabbings, any sort of heavy blood loss. On humans this is really only applicable to KEEPING PEOPLE FROM DYING.
Jesus. Who is the idiot? Tell me once you've RTFA.
Yeah you bring your tiny army into los angeles and TRY to take over. There are not enough soldiers in the entire united states military to effectively put down a large scale revolution by our 300-odd million population, this government exists because the people want it to exist.
Your Rights Online: Osama Bin Laden Not a Nice Man
So you've met the man? Was he particularly not nice in some way?
Oh... I get it. You meant that this is so obviously not true as to be a joke. Hah. I guess the opinion of the US media counts the same as the fact THAT THE SUN IS HOT.
I'd bet you a thousand dollars you haven't got a single clue as to what Osama's true beef is. Hint: its similar to the beef Thomas Jefferson had with Great Britain. We all know what a psycho that guy was!

Hmm. Took me about 30 minutes to have a dual boot winxp box. What is risky about installing Linux onto a seperate partition on the same hdd as windows? Do the files residing near each other somehow "break" things?
What "various obvious reasons" do you need to use Linux if you primarily use winxp?
You probably just screwed up your boot loader, common with installing linux after installing windows. Super easy to fix. What that would have to do with service packs is beyond me. Probably thats just what the "repair" mode if windows does, which all you really needed to fix was the boot loader.
He's not talking about expensive commodity software. He is talking about crappy shareware written by doofi on the internet.
You know, some kid who took a C class in high school them decides to make an mp3 player, fucks it all up but somehow it becomes popular with other doofi k1ds.
You do realize its not real, right? Its just an entertaining movie? That scene was hilarious.
What, his typing speed is what actually bothered you? How about his instant knowledge of MAC molecular modeling software, knowing the entire mac interface, making invisibile aluminum, etc. etc. THAT all made sense, but how did he type so fast?
And we all know you can travel in time by flying around the sun! And that giant whale creatures fly through space and kill planets....

Man, what an asshole this guy is. He is obsessed with his neighbor, spies on him and all in all is a total jerk. Reminds me of the movie "the Burbs."
Yeah, "child molestation" is bad, but neither is sexual activity in a child "molestation". Shit, I was a kid, and a little perv too. I found dirty magazines. I and other kids played with each other. I remember whole swaths of childhood immersed in quasi-sexual strangeness, its what kids do. None of this was damaging. I was never molested. Being raped physically and emotionally is not the same thing as sex being harmful.
Why in the world would seeing a vagina or penis cause emotional distress in a child, who ALREADY has one of these? And has likely explored it extensively?
What is "sex"? If two 10 year olds fool around, are they emotionally damaged? Please. How about a 14 year old and a 10 year old? Two six year olds? A 17 year old and a 13 year old?
When does it become molestation?
I think it all has to do with power relationships, and there being non-sexual trauma involved, ie. somebody being taken advantage of, or being forced into something. It doesn't even have to involve sex, I think it mainly just needs to involve fear and helplessness. The sexual activity is but one part of the equation, it is not the source of the trauma (usually.)
Where I live, there is no distinction. There isn't a "child molester" website. Its "sex offender". When you are a registered sex offender, you must tell your neighbors, and must be registered.
This is for ANY crime deemed a "sex offense". Urinating in public is one. Indecent exposure is another (ie. getting caught in a car having sex)
This isn't about tracking child molesters. Its about tracking "sex offenders."
The "drug" culture and the "computer" culture were one and the same many times. Thats because there was no real "culture" per se, it was the brightest minds doing what fascinated them the most. All the great psychedlics coming out of the berkeley labs were not being discovered, synthesized and distributed by "druggies". It was the academics, studying all kinds of new and wondrous things. They did not fear the unknown. There was the air of a bold new future hovering on the horizon, that was totally squashed by the social "squares", Nixon, etc. Computers, drugs, literature, social chaos, all of that was burbling in the personal/academic lives of these folks. The most intelligent people on earth did not fear new and unexplored vistas. Games on computers!? Strange audio on computers? Movie cameras making bizarre psychedelic scenes? Chemicals that set your brain operating on strange experiences? Whaaaaa??? Most of society didn't get it, and never have and never will.
Yes, but since the law doesn't discern what your actual crime was, it means "anybody who we deem impure from some 'sex' act". You are just a "sex offender". Its meaningless. You rape somebody, you are a rapist. You molest somebody, you are a molester.
Why track people who got caught pissing in public? BTW, I have a friend who is now a registered sex offender for pissing on a tree in a park at night, walking home from a bar. Its bullshit.
Yeah. And we all know that having sex is the most horrible thing that can happen to a person.
Tell that to the people who have been stabbed, shot, murdered, etc.
How do you cure someone who was having sex with his girlfriend in a car parked behind a movie theatre? Busted -> sex offender. Do you even know what "sex offender" means?

You could easily use heartbeat for this:
http://www.linux-ha.org/
This would work with any number of machines, with the virtual ip taking over if any loss occurs.
I've used heartbeat numerous times with redundant servers, works like a charm.
Just use iptables on a cheap old pentium or something. Two network cards, one inside and one outside. Even a modest Pentium or Pentium II could keep up with good amounts of traffic.
