it would be good to change the game fairly often so that everybody gets to play their favourite. also if we knew what it was going to be in advanced then we could go out and buy it in time to play if we didn't have it.

In theory they make a good wardriving machine, in practise they are too slow. My main laptop is a 300MHz PII with 128MB of RAM, trying to run Whax on it is impossible.

PC is fine for me at the moment. I have other things to spend my money on rather than a Media Center. Plus a Media Center isn't much use at Uni so i'm going to wait a bit for that.

You can just buy a retail MSI motherboard or a Hiper PSU because they both come with Rounded IDE cables.
I got some nice ones with my PSU, only have one channel on them which is perfect for getting rid of more bulk.

we can always have times for UK as well, put any times would be good so we know when people are going to be on.

At the linux world conference it was great fun chatting up the Novell girls that would come round and ask to scan your barcode and give you free stuff like Fluff Tuxs, Pens, etc.
But they were truely non-geeks.

I don't think Ping packets will be able to do much, the time it takes also won't be effected much by the signal quality anyway I don't think.
If it does work then you would also have to take into account your position and signal quality. Too much like hardwork if you ask me.

Well if he is trying to break in then he probably hasn't got a connection then so I don't know what to suggest.
If you can get his MAC address then you can probably work out who makes he adaptor but I don't know what use that would be.
I don't think you can do what you want with a wireless set up. You could try and get or build a directional wireless sensor that picks up signals at 2.4GHz then track him, that way if he is using his adaptor then you should pick him up. Long shot though of working.

I've overclocked my 3200+ A64 from 2.0GHz to 2.4GHz, nothing special I know but I was just playing.
Overclocking is great if you have a machine that you just use to work on and not store anything on, it just don't trust it if you have all your data in that machine, too much chance of corrupting it.
I might have another play when my file server is up and running.

You could just walk around with Netstumbler running or something and when the signal gets weaker you are going in the wrong direction and if it gets stronger then you are getting warmer.
Unless you want to just look on your server or something from your desk and it tells you.
I suppose you could have a map with were your AP is and then if you know the signal strength and have a key that tells you how far away they are then you would have a pretty good idea of where they are.

"(NB: Students and under 18's are not permitted into the exhibition)"
well that counts a lot of people out, me included. and still another 4 years of being a student as well.
I went to the Linux World Expo last year at Olympia and that was great fun. Even though we got there late because the bloody train track was broken, and then couldn't work out Earl's Court underground station. Such an idiot.

great, everything seems to be running fine, only problems is theirs nobody on it at the moment.
look forward though to when there is.

Its a good program, I use it and have been very happy of it.
Of course its not for everyone.

old episodes
in Hak5
I just finished watching all the episodes and they were all fine on my machine.
I used VideoLan on a standard XP box, no other codecs installed.

I only just found the show and love it. The mix of humour and information is just brilliant and makes for a great watch. Much better than most of the stuff on the waves.
Just keep up the excellent work.

I suppose I am quite lucky with my School Admins, I get on well with them and have my own Admin account anyway. The students at my school even have our own servers now amoungst other things.
I think you should either forget the flaw or let the admins know, definitely don't do anything. Because if you do do something then you could ruin a lot of peoples work, possibly coursework which could then affect the whole of their lives. Its just not worth it. And finding the hole is always more fun than when you have got it.
I just bought a PII lappy...

I might have to give debian ago then. I have always used Suse for my Linux machines and that is become a bit big and resources intensive.
I'm moving all my servers over to FreeBSD but BSD still lacks something for desktops I feel.
