Yahoo! Answers is a remarkably bad place to obtain reliable information. There are exceptions, but the website consists mostly of people asking stupid questions and other people providing stupid answers.
For a brief period of time, I answered a few questions on Yahoo! Answers with answers that were correct, comprehensive, and included sources for its claims. Yet I found that often, the person asking the question or other readers would choose or vote another person's comically poor answer as the "Best Answer" instead.
Google had a similar service named Google Answers that Google shut down a few years ago:
All the people answering questions ("researchers") were screened and approved by Google. Google Answers required the person asking the question to pay a fee (usually a small one), most of which went to the researcher answering the question.
The quality of both questions and especially answers tended to be quite good. The contrast between Google Answers and Yahoo! Answers is quite remarkable. It is a shame Google decided to shut down Google Answers. (You can still questions asked before the shut down, but cannot ask new questions.)
The advantages are so enormous these technologies will be used in that manner. You will probably want to have it. But you'll also realize that at that moment you are not only vulnerable to hackers that try to access your biosystems, also those that create the hardware and software within you are potentially able to upgrade software and firmware that has essentially become a part of your being.
Obviously this is only the case if the device is remotely accessible. Why does it have to be? And, like any other computerized medical machinery, before an upgrade there will surely be comprehensive testing to make sure it's not going to kill someone. Yes, hypothetically it's possible to stick a trojan horse in the source code, but that's possible with any life and death computerized medical machinery, and afaik, it hasn't happened.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but only a 7 year old version of Linux would be public domain. Anything more recent would have the copyright renewed at each release.
You don't need a real Internet domain name or an Internet connection to assign DNS names to computers on your network. Just run BIND, create a local (fake) TLD, and add names under it. Set the "search" on the client computers to your local TLD.
I think the government should offer to do this to people for free. This way rich people wont end up with a huge evolutionary advantage over poor people, something that would make it even more difficult for the poor people to become rich.
I've purchased a Sun Sparc Classic (microSPARC 50MHz, 32MB RAM, 1GB drive) for about $78 (includes shipping) in eBay, which runs Solaris 8 fine. I would imagine system requirements for Solaris 9 and later versions could potentially be more demanding, but by that time more recent Sun computers (than the Sparc Classic) will be cheaper.
Internet2 is IPv6, right? Which I think has some sort of additional security stuff (maybe not).

And in a few years, it will be opened up to the public. It will become 3-D Porn, obnoxious teenagers who can't
spell, bad music being traded all around, pop-up adds with full symphonic sound, and all the original users will
complain about all the newbies...
Not sure if anyone posted this yes, but you could have recovered the enable password using the instructions here http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_6000a ccess.shtml, which took me about 15 seconds to find on Google (first response for 'cisco 6000 reset password').
And OSDN technical people needed Cisco tech support's help to upgrade the IOS?
Perhaps OSDN should make passing CCNA mandatory for their networking people (as well as brushing up on their Googling skills).:-)

You may want to try uninstalling the Proactive Defense module (a behavior blocker). I've found this module causes performance problems.
I overlooked that. Thanks for providing the reference.
Where on the AFF website do they say some hard drives do not have these design flaws?
The following service appears to permit unlocking a password protected hard drive for $49.95:

I doubt 99.9% of laptop thieves are incapable of finding and using this service.

I've tried it on Windows 95 OSR2, and it refused to install.

But you have the time and patience to post to Slashdot just to mention that?
This isn't the flip side. This article is comparing Windows 2000 to NT and 9x.
Yeah, you seem to be right. http://www.internet2.edu/ipv6/.

It already is. It's called college. :-)
Perhaps they can't hear it through a computer case, though?
Try http://www.freewaytech.com. Fully customizable, and just about the cheapest prices you can get (note: I've never bought from them).

> What about running a network over old soundcards? Possible?
With 100BaseTX NICs being available for $5 - $15, and 100BaseTX hubs being available for $25 - $35, I hardly think it would be practical.
