My question to you would be, do you get good cell phone service in said area? Most times, trees are more than enough to reduce a wireless signal. There are three main problems that any wireless signal has to contend with. These are reflection, diffraction, and scattering. Multipath scattering would be the biggest obstacle in a heavily wooded area and would greatly reduce most wireless signals. While directional signals can maintain a longer distance [because they are being aimed] omnidirectional (coverage in a general circular area) signals would probably be severely impacted.
Wireless technology is probably much more cost effective than running land lines through rural wooded areas but it would still be very expensive to cover such a large area with such a small population.
Remote Desktop and logmein.com? This introduces a completely new issue since users are no longer viewing sites like myspace through the local web browser. They are instead viewing them through their own personal computer. Are they then accessing the site through their computer or the school's computer? And how can a SysAdmin prove that they accessed the website?
That understates the reaction quite a bit. Real is one of the worst things to hit the Internet since AOL, IMHO
In other news... AOL has purchased Real Networks. They plan to completely disassemble the company in order to ensure their position as the worst thing to hit the internet.
You could use something like this engine instead of some of our precious fuels and it would probably significantly reduce the cost of sending it far out into space. Of course, such an engine doesn't seem totally safe considering an explosion could be even more catastrophic.
Please tell me you are being sarcastic. There have been plenty of vulnerabilities and patches for OS X. http://secunia.com/product/96/ . I'm so sick and tired of the myth that OS X is the "most secure" and "unhackable". It's an Operating System just like Windows and Linux and it's not perfect either. You can love OS X for various reasons but NOT because it's "unhackable".

I definitely don't think PHP is to blame for SQL vulnerabilities. Using it as a scapegoat most likely means you have no idea what you're talking about.
If I had modpoints, I'd mod your post up for all PHP haters to see.
I would say that a lot of people don't grasp the idea of writing secure code. This is especially true with smaller websites paying someone as little as they can for web presence. The programmer might not know what an SQL injection is, doesn't understand the concept, or doesn't think it could ever happen to this site and so he/she doesn't write injection-proof code..
I have a friend who was writing a web application with an SQL database. I advised him to make his code injection proof. He sort of ignored me because he wasn't conscious of security. Finally, I showed him firsthand how I could exploit his code and it was sort of a wakeup call to him.
Let us not forget that telecoms are ready to jump into the IP TV market themselves. By using teired networks, they can still benefit from owning the network lines, while overcharging any other competitors in the IPTV market. Could this be a ploy to eliminate their competition before it starts?
I guess it's time to smuggle those DVDs in coffee grounds...
Seriously though, this has to be a publicity stunt to scare those pirating DVDs. The article doesn't say how many dogs are being trained to do this. It only says that two has been trained.
There is no way the dogs can tell what is on the DVDs that they're sniffing out (whether it's family home movies or a rip of Mission Impossible 3) unless they have frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Is this a flat out attack on our rights by the MPAA? What right do they have to go through our mail? What if every software company starts going through mail looking for pirated software. That's kind of ridiculous.
It comes as no surprise to me that several of the security certifications are still more highly regarded and have actually increased in demand. I've been told by an IT that the CISSP (https://www.isc2.org) and others are somewhat difficult to obtain but very valuable knowledge to have. I think that this is especially true these days when risk assessment and prevention is crucial.
As a relatively new user of linux, I can say that while I have learned quickly how to set up various servers on a system, I know very little about properly configuring them to prevent vulnerabilities or attacks.
I still think experience reigns over most if not all certifications. That's just something that takes time and effort to build.
Maybe I'm going offtopic here, but my professors have always told me that internships are very important to nailing a good first job. They suggest doing at least 2 or 3 in the span of a 4 year degree and they've given names of people that have done just that (while maintaining a good GPA of course) and were offered good jobs right out of college. This leads me to believe that employers are looking for ambitious resumes, not necessarily a list of certs.
Who honestly considers Microsoft to be doomed? They have too many products spread across several different technology markets to be anywhere near doomed. Is the writer dillusional?
It does run extremely hot. I replaced a 3.73 Pentium 4 EE (single core) which would regularly give me between -4 to 0 celsius on my peltier cooler but this Presler proc averages around 2 to 8 celsius... More
depending on idle or load (not overclocked).
While I don't think it's a big deal for a desktop processor to run hot, when you put a hot processor in a cramped case like that of a laptop you can easily run into overheating problems. I've seen several laptops that can overheat regularly because the Pentium 4's they had just ran to hot, even with the fans running full blast they could sometimes overheat and shut off. Yes, some of this is due to poor designing on the computer manufacturer's part but I still think that heat can hurt the lifespan of your processor.

Mac Fanboys, Start your engines!
It just sounds to me like people are trying to make excuses for some of the security problems with OS X. "The users are smarter" "Less people use it"
NO! That doesn't make it alright for OS X to be insecure.

They still haven't developed it so that you can see through the actress's clothes. Until then, anything hi-def is still a failure.

According to some comments on New Egg, the Pentium Extreme Edition runs fairly hot as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82 E16819116246
