you convince Blackberry and other companies to support you. Our execs could probably not give a rat's ass about Exchange vs Stalker, but tell them Blackberry integration isn't supported...
Because wireless stinketh for backbone service. And you're not going to get around the need for backbone service. When low jitter, all weather, OC192 comes in wireless form, then it might be feasable.
Perhaps you should actually work in the technical side of a telco (both traditional and IP) and learn what the requirements are to make voice happen.
Or are you just looking for free monkey pr0n like everyone else?
Pfft. If you considered yourself an audiophile, you'd know that CD's cut off the frequency range. DVD-A is the most modern format that comes close (though, sometimes plain ol' vinyl is best).
Now, if you were an audiofile... you'd be squashed into tiny bits.:-)
Gotta do it.. gotta parse those Snort logs and see what's been crossing the wire. At this company, no one cares if you take a break and catch up on the scores, political news, slashdot, etc... but when 19 unique PORN signatures show up (about 250 total hits) for a month, that's out of line. And when your Gnutella habits suck up half the available upstream circuit, you're also out of line. You're paid to work, to complete a set of tasks and move on to the next set. No one denies the occasional break, especially if previous job performance shows good work. But, you're not paid to swap files or check out hentai. Deal with it.
Personally, it depresses me.. I despise the times I have to check the logs, knowing that some coworkers cannot seem to maintain some professionalism, even if they aren't being actively managed at 2am.
Forgetting to lock my front door doesn't give someone the right to take my stereo, or spray paint my walls.
Besides which, if you've actually ever done any intrusion detection, you'll notice that most of your attempts come from home users, either here in the US, Europe or Asia. Who do you declare the "system administrator"? The forklift driver who bought the machine so he could hit nascar.com?
If you're creating an analogy between home computing and dangerous weapons, fine. Now that computer owners are liable for any action of their machine, computer purchasing will plummet as lawsuits increase. What's left of the Internet economy falls over dead.
Give it a rest. Breaking and entering is wrong, whether into physical structures or electronic ones. Punish those doing it.
Windows CAN be vulnerable. Found several locally. Hardware companies using too much Microsoft example code, I imagine.
Simple to exploit. Mac OS X/Linux:ping -c 1 -s 0 10.10.10.10 Solaris: ping 10.10.10.10 0 1 Windows: ping -n 1 -l 0 10.10.10.10 (where 10.10.10.10 is, of course, target host). Solaris doesn't seem to even want to *send* the echo request with 0 payload. Then again, I didn't investigate that too hard. IOS will definately not let you specify datagram size small enough to exploit (for that matter, it pads the echo request properly, unlike my test Win2k box with Xircom card.
Collect in favorite packet sniffer and observe. In Ethereal, it's added as Trailer under the Ethernet frame. Don't expect it to make sense.
Routers may or may not impede it. Checking about half a dozen local private class C's, I found 20 machines returning frame data. One linux, a few Windows, and a few VoIP devices. Those were crossing a Cisco L3 switch. It sorta routes, it sorta switches. However, as expected, crossing a 7204 easily screws the pooch.
So, for someone on the outside to make use of this, they'll have to break into a machine elsewhere on your network and setup some automatic exploit. To allow that to happen, you've got big troubles already besides already transmitted frame data.
And anyway, 18 bytes of previously transmitted frame data are not much to worry about. If you're not already deploying the basic security that would foil this.. just get out of the game.
OK, Yes, you must buy new hardware. But, you get lots of things that managers care about.
Office. Fast hardware. Corporate support. Really easy to learn.
On the tech side, you get BSD, lots of options in file servers. Integrated logins through Netinfo or LDAP. Easy expansion of desktops through Firewire or USB. Don't like the mouse? Get a new one.
Sure, initial costs are high, but long term costs are very low. Convert a few at a time, as user's hardware becomes old. You can use Linux as the file/name/mail/etc servers, get more miles out of your Intel hardware, but the XServe sure looks nice.
I'll simply stop reading Time Magazine. Or the Dallas Morning News, for that matter.
However, when I follow "deep links" from Slashdot or other sites, I tend to hang around and see what other stories are there. I should think that any news site, be it specific topic or not, would want traffic driven to their site, any part of it. I can buy a newspaper and just read the comics, but I'll still be exposed to whatever advertisements are on that page. However, if they force me to follow a different path that suits them, I can get my comics somewhere else.
In a previous life, I was an experienced admin of Inktomi traffic server. It's simply a proxy cache. Yes, it can do many of the things mentioned.. insert ads? Sure... capture user into private portal hell? Sure. Track usage via logs? Sure. Do most care? Ehh.. not sure about that.
That previous life was working with a large Regional Bell company... the mere mention of selling of consumer info (even just anonymized web logs) caused the blood to run out of their faces. I don't think it'll happen there, but I don't make promises for anyone else. It's quite the panacea of information, even if just used internally.
BTW, Novell's proxy cache is actually faster, easier and quite a bit cheaper. Squid, while free, will likely never reach the same performance levels.
"Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances

encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
I do know (from my sister, a nurse in Birmingham) that all the major trauma/burn centers in the US have been placed on alert. According to her, there are only about 30 major burn centers in the US (and I know UAB is one of the best).
I imagine that Canadian centers are certainly standing by, ready to help. And, as an American, let me say: thanks.
I think the media outlets discuss the Canadian Connection simply for three reasons: the US-Canada border is a pretty open border, terrorists have been thwarted attempting to come through Canada before, and they gotta do something in the absence of real news from the scene. Allow me to apologize for any insult, and I'm sure we all realize that defense of civilized society from terror attacks is the responsibility of all member nations in that society, no matter where the attacks are targeted.
While it's true that more 15 year olds are on the 'Net and have more information at their fingertips than their technologically antedeluvian parents, the real crux of the matter is the fact that most of the youth on the 'Net are too damn stupid to understand the real potential here.
That, and the fact that in 10 years, they start complaining about kids these days. Things change.
I swore that I would never personally buy, nor cause someone to personally buy, nor professionally buy (using company funds) a Dell product. They have a tendency to take parts returned for repair and, if they can't figure out the problem, put them back in the parts bin.
How do I know? A friend of mine got his returned board back as a replacement.
As additional inducement, I'm working on my 3rd(!) Lattitude CPx, and it's on the second motherboard. It is a company bought laptop, so I can't really complain too hard about it, until it fails and I toss it back to the internal guys with the threat to expense an iBook on them.

Austin, in general, is a pretty cool place. And actually cool enough to visit at that time of year.
Easy enough.. get an old Nextel phone and just make some calls next to 'em.
Had a bud who used to do that at audio competitions. Really drove 'em nuts.

Also, Introducing Quantum Theory was an excellent read. Find it at Amazon, etc. It's part of a series of introductary titles of a range of subjects.
A kazoo! Or, some simple evolution thereof. Respiration ok.. blow in, you get noise.
Think about it. What better way to keep the peace than to prove that you're watching?
OK, Yes, you must buy new hardware. But, you get lots of things that managers care about.
