awesome lol

you forgot broadcom 802.11 :) lol

It was a win98 boot floppy with batch file to load drivers for nic, it had the most common nic drivers. then just mapped the netdrive and run ghost. company got new machines every quarter and programmers got them and the programmers old machine went to a someone like hr/accounting types.

you mac problems are easily fixed just put linux on the mac :) lol

we used to use a boot floppy with net support and ghost. kept all the images on a server by computer model, then whenever we wanted to we'd boot with floppy and run ghost and bam just like it was when it came out of the box

I have a wrt54g v5 ADSL the modem plugs into the wan port its a router so you could plug any thing into it if you have a good firewall/proxy/whatever. and its not worth ddwrt-ing the v5 or v6 not enough ram to do anything. :(

if you have DHCP then you will have to do this every time the IP addy changes thats normally 1 day. if you have a static ip then you could use the net use command to map it :) if the DHCP server is any good it will never change as long as you don't change anything (reboot a few computers at the same time reboot the router things like that) it does happen when you take a laptop to work/cybercafe/other network and connect. then when you come home and reconnect you may get a different IP or if you don't reconnect to that network for awhile. :) depends on DHCP server scope.

I'm about a 40% Linux and 60% Windows but its going up :) it'll never be 100% because I need my Windows for my games. :P

I had heard of some ISP that were going to start blocking P2P traffic ports and stuff like that as for the legality of what is DL from them I used shareaza to DL my Debian iso last week. if they blocked that would suxor. :(

Well, it may have something to do with him currently living in Portland, Oregon (USA). I'm aware he isn't living there anymore my point was a ref to what is geeky about the location. I didn't know he was in Portland and I really doubt if he was at Helsinki you could just walk in off the street and say Hi :) lol

check these out I had a subscription to this years ago going to have to get a new one :) Mike Bonnell

i'd go get a new ISP if they interfiered in my DLs it not their job to police the internet. let us know who your ISP is that way we don't use them. :) I assume your talking about P2P stuff because if they're blocking ftp and http WOW is all I could think of.

No, but that's limited by the hardware in this case. Are you try to suggest that Vista isn't meant to be run on an older computer? I'v never herd such a ridiculous idea ;) That computer is basically only good at web browsing, IM'ing (i have to get gaim installed yet). Could do word processing on it if need be. and it probably flies :)

the only reason I still have windows is for my games CS, HALO, and I paid for it so I'm not going to throw my office XP away :) but I like open office :)

that could be a nice mod project for a usb mouse. 5 Vdc could have a nice bite ;)

tell them thats a good thing, and directx is a micro$loth "FEATURE" lol

XP is based on the NT 9x doesn't have permissions does it? been so long since I use 9x

check this out :) http://www.wifi-shootout.com/ I cant find it now but a couple years ago a European company set the record for putting a wifi satellite up and hitting it. I had a friend who came in like 2nd or 3rd in one of the wifi shootout 2004 maybe? and he got free pass to defcon the next year :)

anything on social engineering and you don't need a computer to practice :) Don't mean to thread jack. :) but I've never read any books on it so any suggestions kill 2 birds with 1 thread lol

Very nice wording VaKo :) windows alternative I'll have to remember that :)

I understand what your saying is that your going to be doing that other stuff also so why not go say hi to Linus at University of Helsinki if your trip is going to go in that direction or for that matter look into checking out some of the other tech schools. I always wanted to see some of these schools that I talk to ppl from. :)

Wish I coulda gone :( 126 days till CON :)
