Comment bluetooth? (Score 1) 336

So i can remember to logout or lock the screen as muck as the other, but I keep my phone in my pocket at work so using bluetooth is quite handy for me. I lowered the sensitivity so a few steps from my desk and instant screen lock. Keeps other employees from abusing my irc client when im close but not paying attention. http://blueproximity.sourceforge.net/ Have not seen this for windows but who cares us linux at work.

FBI Issues Code Cracking Challenge 222

coondoggie writes to tell us that the FBI has issued another cracking challenge for a new cipher on their site. Tens of thousands responded to a similar challenge last year. In addition to the challenge, the FBI is also offering a few primers on the subject. There are a number of sites offering cipher challenges, but it's funny to see the FBI encouraging such behavior.

While there are plenty of good reasons to have an all in one little box that does this. I like my current linux box setup for flexibility. Like Running a dynamic dns client on the router or a script to do dshield reports. Anyway, you can do all the qos stuff pretty easily event if you are fairly new to linux. Just install your favorite linux distro, use the shorewall firewall, grab the wondershaper, and follow these directions to adjust the shaper to your needs. Like lowest priority bittorrent and ftp and highest priority ssh, http, and your games. Its probably free if you have an old box laying around too.
