No, you have to do a capture of the datastream (1's and 0's) and then feed them back into your machine via serial cable. Kind of looks like the Matrix computer readouts of the grid itself....
It beats the old way of installing (actually flipping the switches on and off to generate the 1's and 0's). Then along came those pussy punch cards and it was all down hill after that.
Well, speaking from experience, I have compiled gentoo including kde on a AMD 450 with 392M of RAM, and it did take 24 hrs. An XP would certainly be faster, but I bet it could easily go 8 hrs with all the dependancies included...
Just for comparison, the total install took over 2 days with KDE taking 1 all by itself.
Why something said on the Howard Stern show back 2 1/2 years ago is all of a sudden something that needs to be investigated. 2 years ago, no one had a problem with it. Why now?
I'll tell you why
Because whoever is behind this shit sees the blood in the water and is now looking at past tapes to see if they can apply Today's standards to yesterday's broadcasts.
Ah yes, but us "paycheck to paycheck" people need to know to the penny how much we have in the account at any given time so we can float those payments and pray the direct deposit doesn't have a hick-up....
Not that I do that....but I have heard some stories...
No no no, to be consistant, you have to throw out your OpenBSD box and install ZoneAlarm on your windows box. Aren't you dedicating a box (hardware) to run your software solution?
I know Cisco's are expensive, I don't own one because of that. However, do you know WHY they are expensive? Because they are optimized, they are specialized. They have consistant results. Something you can't necessarily say about ZoneAlarm. Cisco ships their products knowing the memory and the processor will handle a certain load and that they don't have to compete with other software for resources.
When you install ZoneAlarm (or any other software firewall on the same host you will be using for your everyday computer), you're betting the farm on unpredictable combinations of software and hardware. Something that Cisco (and other hardware firewalls) have already taken into account and spec'd accordingly.
I used to run a setup similar to yours. LEAF (www.leaf-project.org) on a dedicated box. I ran that setup for many years. I just thought the original statement you made was rather ignorant.
I stand by my statement that if it was so simple when firewalls were concerned, that corporations could just get rid of the huge $$$ Cisco Support contracts and just throw a few copies of (insert favorite software firewall running on the client here) to the employees and forget it.
That depends entirely on what software you are talking about. All a hardware fireall is, is a firewall from a company that realized people won't pay $$ for a piece of software.
You're fucking kidding, right?
So, what you're saying is, a majority of Fortune 500 companies can throw their Cisco PiX firewalls away and just install ZoneAlarm? Think of the money they'll save!
His only interview question was to hand the candidate a dry-erase marker and draw out their home network and explain how it worked, was addressed, and protected. As far as he was concerned, the group needed a net geek, and someone who didn't have their own network at home wouldn't be interested in the job enough to excel.
Where 'o where was that interview when I needed it...instead of those "where do you see yourself in 5 years" or "tell me what the word Diversity means to you" type questions I seem to always end up with.
How to they plan on overcoming the laws of nature? Wave Theory? The higher the frequency, the less deviation from the path of departure...OK, then what about low frequencies such as by a subwoofer? How do they plan on directing that? Or are we just going to get tinny sounds from now on?
The only way I could see them levying the tax would be to add a tax onto the software when you buy it, kind of like the video cassette tax back in the 80's.
How would they know it's a conversation? How would they differentiate between a Powwow chat and a cisco VoIP? How would they know this packet contains VoIP so it should be taxed (by who and how...but that's another matter) and this packet contains Aunt Matilda's Hallmark greeting card?
I agree with the FP, they are a bunch of money loving bastards and if they could find a way to tax breathing air, they would.
I for one, tried to submit a similar story...the details are exactly the same, except it was for k-12 schools, not other countries...but I'm sure its the same program. Check it out:

Rather disgusting if you think about it...bags of crap exploding on the outside of the hull..
What if an alien was to swing by on his way to becoming our new Overlords...what would he think? "Freakin humans smear their stations with their own crap...."

I think it stinks and is completely unfair.
See, that's why I have a blank root password...so they spend all that time cracking something that doesn't exist.
Not that I do that....but I have heard some stories...

So that's what the second step to profit is...

Look at my original post moderation....50% off topic and 50% troll....what a bunch of humorless asses
That they're being accused of dying almost every other day on /.
Or are you just glad to see me?
Uhhhh, a great burn-in program for CPU's for one thing.....money for another
I live near Rochester, and can confirm, the service does suck.

I thought it was a freakin Rorschach test or something.

Unless you work in a strip joint....
Why not compressed air instead of wipers? A couple of scuba tanks...some copper tube and it's all good.
My thoughts exactly....freakin dupes...

Maybe the Chinese Takeout is there and he's just trying to get paid.
Yeah, I saw the video feed for that....poor test pilot, never had a chance...
