I don't see how a new processor from Intel, or anybody else for that matter, is going to cause "serious competition" for any vendor such as HP, IBM, or Sun. When choosing a solution, IT doesn't go for Sun because its run on a Sparc CPU. They don't choose IBM because it runs a PowerPC. I give up on why they choose HP.:)
The point is, the CPU is just 1 little part in a solution. Intel isn't going to do any damage to these vendors unless they supply the entire solution, which isn't their business! To think otherwise is pretty dumb and a bunch of PR bullshit attempting to inflate Intel's stock value.
No way dude, haven't you watched the news lately? All those damn sleeper cells are ALL OVER THE US WAITING TO KILL US ALL. Get out of the country while you still can!
The dual firewall setup is what I always recommend when I do any sort of consultanting. To many, the DMZ is loosely defined as the part of the network where you put machines that if they get hacked into, they won't expose your inside network.
It really all depends on what the configuration is. In some situations, I have had a network config where the DMZ was totally exposed (by design), and in others they put a firewall on each department, and even divided up networks within a department. The first situation was where we were hosting a foreign entity that provided its own security, and the second was at a major Wall Street banking company.
The biggest problem with the "DMZ" option in SOHO NAT/masq routers is that if that one unprotected box gets taken by an intruder, the rest of the network is now exposed. That's not really a true DMZ.
What the heck was it doing open in the first place?
Depends on the firewall configuration. I have seen some people use a firewall setup where they have a set of internet facing servers that are out in a DMZ. Ideally you'd want 2 firewalls or two networks for a setup like that, but still block out everything except for "allowed" ports. It is amazing how many sysadmins install a firewall and then don't use it correctly.
You guys must be kidding! Insightful? The guy thinks Dubya is up there doing "leadership"?
Uh, what part of what I said anything about what I thought of our current President. I didn't vote for him, and I dislike him more and more very day since he was elected.
I wouldn't vote for Steve Jobs for president, but I would definately vote for the "Woz". Something tells me that Jobs would actually make a better figurehead president than Woz though.
As being a recent immigrant to NJ, and not a native, I would have to say that if they did enact such a "Smart People" law, there would be very few people left. And the state needs all the tax dollars it can geT!
You bring up a good point. But, it is my philosophy to refuse charitable giving to any organization which receives money from the government. 1) I've already contributed by you using money I gave as taxes, and 2) As a libertarian, my position on federal income tax forbids its use on anything but the operations of the federal government.
This sounds like a fund raising guilt trip to me. If you contribute money to EFF, then good, but don't be appalled when I fail to contribute $39.95 every month.
I give money (and time) to charitable groups when I'm able to, and feel like it. I'm not required to give anything. If everyone gave money to every person/group that had a "worth while cause", then we'd all be flat broke. This is typical liberal bullshit.
Before you start flaming me for "not caring", let me say this: I *do* contribute to various groups. I contribute money, I contribute my time, I contribute my own belongings, and last but not least, I contribute my opinions and ideas.
Lessig does have a point, but there "evil groups" out there than just the telecom and entertainment industry. By owning and operating a car, you contribute to pollution, middle eastern oil barons (that's how osama bin laden got his money to train people to kill us, which is funny, since that's how GW made his money too), and at least a dozen other industries of ill repute. By living in a home with electricity, you once again contribute to pollution by way of traditional "dirty" power generating plants and nuclear generating plants which outputs nuclear waste material that remains hazardous for thousands of years. By buying that computer you contributed to substandard labor practices in china. By moving out of the city to be closer to nature you contribute to suburban sprawl further reducing natural habitats for endangered animals. For meat eaters, you contribute to wasteful practices in raising the animals, not to mention the slaughter. But even vegans aren't safe here: Hundreds of small animals are killed by farming equipment when processing crops. Let's not forget the substandard of living once again imposed on those poor chinese people when you eat your rice or cheap 10/$1 packages of ramen noodles. Think buying American helps? Your still contributing to some large corporation with interests only in greedy profit. But oh... let's boycot that greedy corporation you say? Great, now you've contributed to hundreds, perhaps thousands of people losing their jobs.
I was a Verizon customer up until a couple months ago . Since I enjoy a quality high speed cablemodem already, I signed up with Vonage. I "highly" recommend them to anybody who has the bandwidth to use their service.
They are not 100% perfect, but if/when something happens, they've made it a point to notify customers of what was going on. Without even complaining, I received a $5 refund for a 1 day outage. They also have very good customer reps that answer your email/calls quickly and professionally.
I never liked Verizon from the first time I moved into their service area. Their customer service seemed more wary of me as a new subscriber than happy to do business. I used their automated online system to order service, and they did not activate my phone service the day I requested. I called up to find out why, and they wanted me to pay $250 deposit. $250 deposit for phone service? WTF? That's at least 6 months worth of service. After bitching, they then offered to waive the deposit if I got my old phone company to right a "letter of recommendation" saying that I was a previous customer in good standing. Uhg.. pain in the ass, but worth saving $250.

Not entirely. I used to maintain PINE for Debian quite some time ago.
Because it wasn't entirely "free as in speech", it was required to go into the non-free section. Unless they've drastically changed the license since I last paid any attention to it, it required:
1) Modified versions were required to be designated with a L (iirc) after the version number to signal they had been changed before compiling.
2) You are not allowed to sell the binaries, or distribute them on a "for sale" media.
3) Permission is required before distributing the binaries.
The big deal with Debian was that it could not be included in the normal section because of #2, and I think the powers that be at the time were pissed off at #3 as well. At the time I was managing PINE for Debian, practically all of the other distro's included a compiled version of PINE. It pissed me off because the controlling group within Debian didn't want to work out a deal with UW to allow Pine to be distributed as a normal package within Debian.
FYI, this was back when Bruce Peren's had his weekly temper tantrums and threaten to go work for Redhat instead.
I work for a company that may be of interest on this topic. We provide managed data storage. Among other things, we provide tape backup storage solutions that include offsite data vaulting.
I use one of those barcodes when I purchase my groceries. My grocery chain (Shope Rite) then sends me mailers that are targeted to what I buy. At the checkout, they also print coupons based on what I buy. Say, I buy a package of Gardenburger veggie burgers.. I usually get a coupon for my next trip on that same item.
Something else I've noticed, I was buying Silk soymilk for a long time, and then I switched to 8th Continent soymilk. Every time I buy 8th Continent, I get a coupon for Silk! So I buy the Silk the next week, no coupon, and then I go buy 8th again, and yep, coupon for Silk again.
Priceless art, texts, etc, aren't the sort of thing you'd unload onto Ebay, but there is still a market for them. I'm sure several rich private collectors would have loved to get their hands on it. Nobody would dare flaunt it in public.

LittlePC? Sounds like politically correct midgets.
In reality, $2000 isn't much money when talking about the possibility of how much the guy could have stole with that many victims.
If your going to ruin your life over fraud, you might as well go all out.

was going to Shogun (japanese hibachi steakhouse type of place) with my godparents when I was VERY young.

Maybe that's why I'm so into japanese things now.

Thank god I'm a vegetarian then! :)
Thank Jeebus halloween is over!
No, because once you're close to becoming broke, everyone would give you a penny and you'd be rich.
Isn't that communism?
Wish granted.. I just got modded +1 Insightful and +1 Interesting. :)
