Not that I have played any of the Unreal Tournament series lately, I used to be a heavy UT gamer 8 years ago... I enjoyed the fact that Unreal Tournament 2003 came with Linux installer on the retail discs. I had hoped that this was the future of Linux gaming.

Absolutely! A co-worker of mine has been using it and stated that it worked well for him. After these recent break-ins, I decided to sign up for LastPass. I wen through all the websites I use on a regular basis and used LastPass' password generator to generate secure passwords for each. I feel much safer now knowing all my passwords are extremely strong. While the free service should suffice most of your needs, I signed up for the premium service ($12/year) to get the mobile app for my phone.

As long as I don't have to keep a musical blog of my evil doings...

This is off of NASA's website:

As a government entity, NASA does not license the use of NASA materials or sign licensing agreements. The agency generally has no objection to the reproduction and use of these materials (audio transmissions and recordings; video transmissions and recording; or still and motion picture photography), subject to the following conditions:
...

• NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted. If copyrighted, permission should be obtained from the copyright owner prior to use. If not copyrighted, NASA material may be reproduced and distributed without further permission from NASA.
• If a recognizable person, or talent (e.g., an astronaut or a noted personality engaged to narrate a film) appears in NASA material, use for commercial purposes may infringe a right of privacy or publicity. Therefore, permission should be obtained from the recognizable person or talent. If the proposed use of the NASA material could be viewed as a commercial exploitation of that person. However, if the intended use of NASA material is primarily for communicative purposes, i.e., books, newspapers, and magazines reporting facts of historical significance (constitutionally protected media uses), then such uses will generally be considered not to infringe such personal rights.

I don't know if the particular image is copyrighted, but clearly the person in photo is not recognizable. You could put any person in that space suit for that photo and not tell the difference.

Is it really that hard to isolate the server by disconnecting one router/switch at a time until you've isolated the server to one switch?

In a production environment where you can't be taking servers or switches offline...

You could put an RFID reader at all the exits and record any equipment leaving the building...

There are several games that have come out in recent weeks that I wanted to buy, but do to lack of time to play all of them I haven't bought any. The other night I sat down and played the demo of Civ V, not knowing what to expect since I had not played any of the other games in the series. I spent all night playing the demo and when I reached the end, I knew I needed to play the full game. I purchased it around 3am and Steam started downloading it. Yesterday at the office, I spent a majority of my time reading the game manual. I fell into the "just one more turn" trap and couldn't stop playing last night. I looked at my clock and said it was almost 1am and I have work in the morning. The next thing I knew it was getting light outside. Now today I am running on no sleep, spending my time at work planning my domination of the Ottoman Empire. I think this is how a crack addict must feel.... I am jonesing for my next fix.

This is just going to cause internet prices to go up. The ISP's are not just going to eat the cost, they will pass it on to their customers as additional fees.

anybody trying to find the rally with an iPhone will get the wrong directions if this is allowed to stand.

Why does this have to be an iPhone issue, my Android phone also uses Google Maps for navigation.

Only if the application supports it. Although most future applications should support, many of them currently do not. Also, I would rather use the phone's memory for applications and keep the storage card for all my data.

This is going to be great when it gets integrated into mobile phones. My Moto Droid only has 512MB of for the OS and apps. Recently I have been getting low storage space warnings because of the number of apps I have installed.

Smoke in server room? Throw shoe at fire suppression switch and go back to reading slashdot....

I'm just a poor boy

No Brazilian law exists to force Dantas to produce the password(s).

If this were to happen in the US, are there any laws here that would force us to give up our passwords?

I may be a rare bread in recent times

And if you screw up your job, you will become a rare toast.
