Comment Re:AirPort Extreme (Score 3, Interesting) 268

The proprietary software to configure the AP is a pain, but it runs just fine with Wine on Ubuntu 10.04 (one caveat, it didn't show up on a network scan, I had to specify it's IP manually). I have mine in bridged mode off of a Cisco ASA5505 and it works much better than anything I've tried. I can certainly attest to its reliability. It's worth the extra cash to not have to reboot your AP every week (Like my WRT54G running Tomato).

Interesting, this same thing happened to me today (from the same exact IP address). I saw an access from China earlier today from when I was on an airplane. They seem to have accessed my account via POP3 (I don't use POP3, but had it inadvertently turned on) -- they sent a bunch of spam mail to myself which was automatically thrown in the trash due to a filter I set up specifically to get rid of chinese gold spam.

Comment Not like lpr or Samba (Score 1) 126

This is supposed to be for devices that don't have ports (small netbooks running ChromeOS or something) and/or use web apps. Google wants everyone to easily be able to print from Google Docs or some other web based software and not have to think about the hardware involved.

There are definitely privacy concerns, but it's not supposed to be like lpr or Samba sharing.

Comment Department "K" (Score 1) 208

You are to file an official complaint to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation www.mvd.ru , into the department "K" (Fight against Computer Crimes).

The website in Russian language, but I think it is not difficult to find someone who studied Russian in a school or know it natively. It may well work.

Comment Re:Fifth Amendement Right (Score 1) 367

Now, bleeding heart hippy liberals

When a sentence begins with something like this, it's written by either a troll, a political tool, or a honest to goodness moron. Which one are you?

Thus, if you are asked a question of the form "Did you take pictures of nekkid kids?" then you can invoke the Fifth. However, if you are asked "Only you and Bob could have taken the pictures? Which one of you did it?" then you can only refuse to answer if you did it. If Bob did it, then you have no Fifth Amendment protection, and you must incriminate Bob, or be held in contempt. If you refuse to answer, a jury draw inference from your refusal. The Bill of Rights offers you no protection from that.

So in short, the 5th amendment has no meaning. You can only refuse to answer if you're guilty, and the jury knows that, so it's as good as a confession.

1s44c, please don't take this as criticism toward you. I'm just taking this as an example.

Most people on IT really have no idea what high-availability is. They should talk to some people on the telecom industry.

For example: having 2 systems that are virtually equal, one as backup as the other, is just not HA. For real HA, you need to have 2 systems as different from each other as possible, including bands. One box is Intel ? Make the other AMD. It is even better if you can have a PC and a non-PC system, but usually you can't justify the budget for that.

This is called "single point of failure". And, as you said, that is EXACTLY where the problem will happen.
