I am in Perth, and I can assure you that most cafes will charge about $5 - 10 per hour. What is really ridiculous is the places in town that provide wireless access - you pay around $12+ per hour to BYO laptop.
You would think that most places would give this access away for free and generate revenue with increased coffee sales.
Anyone who frequents Fremantle may want to check out e3.com.au. Free wireless access is now available on cappuccino strip.
I have sucessfully had a virus run under Wine. It was not sasser, and was not tcp port based however. Launched an infected exe from Thunderbird to see what would happen, Wine took over and ran it. THe virus scanned my networks SMB shares, and collected email addresses. It also spawned its own SMTP engine and proceeded to send itself to the collected addresses.
When you think about it, Wine should have no trouble running simple applications such as this. It only seems to bawk when applications use non conformant GUI methods or non-standard network operations / file access methods...
VPN or not, you should still firewall unwanted traffic coming in via the VPN. If all a user needs is Citrix or RDP traffic to/from their VPN connection, thats all the BOFH should give them...
ms rdp has low level hooks to query and render text and other gui widgets. its a lot quicker to send 10kb of text rather than a gif/jpeg of 10kb worth of text. vnc and others just work by recompressing the end image that you see on the screen.
this is why you sometimes see rdp display forefront text before the background. i believe it also uses tech borrowed from citrix who are the absolute masters at this.
tightvnc is getting better with every release however - it currently is quite usable of adsl equipment
I just cant take it seriously after seeing the MTV spoof of the architect from the Matrix Reloaded...

Have you tried finding anything in the winnt folder? It's layer upon layer of unorganised cruft, each layer inherited from an earlier version of total lack of thought for organisation of a future proof directory structure.
And whats with the spaces in the directory names?
c:\Documents and Settings = c:\profiles c:\Program Files = c:\apps
The real issue is the amount of work involved for a user who is not an administrator to be able to install programs designed for only administrator based users. Office will install fine as it has been designed with this in mind, but try installing Winzip as a non-administrative user.
When rolling packages for deployment, the amount of work needed to compensate for non-administrative users is massive. An easier alternative is to make all DOMAIN\Domain Users members of the workstation Administrators group, have a common workstation Image / Ghost and reimage workstations regularly.
Microsoft applications always behave themselves properly, however I find that very few third party applications will work as regular users without extensive tweaking of file system permissions.
Apart from drivers, what non-MS software is automatically updated with WUpdate? They havent even integrated their BackOffice suite (Exchange, MSSQL) yet, this still must be patched by hand.
I know that IIS, IE, WMP are all patched, but I have never had WU suggest a patch for a third party program apart from driver updates.

I'm sorry we ran out of ID ten tango forms long ago. Quite a demand it seems.
A plugin called Linky opens all selected links as tabs...

Just like Thunderbird appears to pass the amount of unread messages to the logon screen under Windows XP.

No patches for this one, just kill -9
