You just described exactly how Growl notifications on OSX work.

Basically, they want something similar to Growl on OSX.

I do, but I generated new 8192 bit keys once that flaw was discovered. :|

They do... it's just that there's nothing else to retrieve but whitespace.

This wouldn't matter anyways, unless RSA has been broken, but I do see your point.

Since changing my SSH ports to something really high (above 50000), I have had exactly *zero* failed password attempts in the last 14 months.

I know the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data', but this is the case across *all* my servers.

Which state are you in that has attractive females at Walmart? All the Walmarts I've ever been into were... somewhat scary.

Attractive women? At Walmart?

Didn't you just say you make $90 an hour? http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1069291&cid=26184295

Unless you're horribly mismanaging your finances, you wouldn't ever need to work at Walmart. I make about half of that and I am financially secure.

That's odd, because ATI has the fastest (consumer) card on the market right now, the HD4870x2.

Even with its two GPU cores each with 1gb of ram, I only get about 20-25 fps in GTA4. (We're complaining about it up above. Rest of the system is: 2.6ghz Athlon X2, 6gb DDR2, 1tb hdd, Vista X64 Ultimate) I'm waiting for the patch that adds multi-core rendering support to GTA4. I might actually be able to play it at that point.
