The problem we had with security wasn't related to their web interface. It had to do with default mailbox passwords (none) and outdial capability. We had international calls being made outbound.
Televantage needs some work. It has serious out-of-the-box security issues that require reconfiguration (and in our case an upgrade too).
Its basically functional and meets our needs though.
BTW, it sends email notifications with voicemails attached, encoded as ms-tnef format. Don't get this if you want to use that feature and don't use MS email clients.
I've been doing PDF conversion from Word without Acrobat for ages. Its very simple:
Add a new printer that uses postscript, and have it use the "FILE:" port. That way whenever you print to it, it will print to a file in postscript. Windows will name it.prn by default, but rename it to.ps if you like.. its just postscript. Then run it through ps2pdf (available on cygwin, I believe), part of the Ghostscript package. Bingo, you have your brand-spankin new PDF.
Yes, it does lack some of the more advanced PDF features, such as clickable table of contents, or fill-in forms.. but it gets you a viewable PDF.
The knife is nice looking alright.. but it doesn't fit. The guy's hand has half as many polygons and shittier textures. Its neat that they are adding real-life objects, but it doesn't mesh with the game. This could be a nice prototoype for the next generation though.
DCCon (3?) used fiber one year. They got a sweet network donated by bay networks or someone.. and it included a bunch of 100mbit full duplex ethernet switches that used fiber for switch interconnects. (this was like 1998) The problems were that the fiber was run between tables, and people kept knocking into it or even stepping on it.
At the beginning of the day, the network was clean, no PL, no lag. By the end of the day, the game was all kinds of choppy (NetQuake, btw) and the PL was horrible.
Take it from me, USE COPPER ONLY. Especially today with the affordability of 100mbit ethernet. Gigabit switches/hubs are still expensive, but it is an option for the backbone.
Can anyone setup a mirror? This is stopping and starting at a couple K a second.. and that Fileplanet thing is bogus.. you gotta become a member in order to download? Where is sunsite when you need it?
We are running into this here at work. We've been deploying RH 6.2 workstations from the beginning (more than 2 years now). We wanted a standard software configuration and stability. Until March, we've been receiving RH 6.2 security updates from redhat. Now, RH isn't providing them any more.
We are planning on upgrading to RH 9, but patch/fix support for that is only scheduled at a year! Where do we go from here? Yearly upgrades? There goes our stability model.
I was told that RH's "Enterprise" workstation product only comes with an additional year of security fixes and support, coming in at 2 years. We really need something on the order of 3-5 years.. Does anyone have any suggestions?

WTF is direct enegery conversion? Conversion from what?
I did this in Exim, with a rewrite rule on the incoming message. You can then filter or shitcan with procmail.
/etc/exim/exim.conf (Exim 3.35-1 (Debian)):
From my
# rewrite incoming addresses foo+bar@domain.net => foo@domain.net
^([^+]+)\+(.*)@domain.net$ $1@domain.net T
Be sure to replace the @domain.net part.

Yes, we do that now that we upgraded. This functionality was broken in our previous version.

Ginsburg said that the sonny bono copyright act doesn't change the face of copyright in the law, but merely extend the term, it was fine.
This guy is taking that and making it into a case that the court thinks that the DMCA isn't fine.
I think he's reading in a lot and its too much of a stretch to reach that conclusion.

Copyright law should cover this. The Java port is a derived work.

The Quake engine is GPLed. I imagine they ported it to Java for this 'technology demo' .. So what I want to know is, where is the source?
