    Vpn.

    Because a proprietary client from a relatively small company is such a good idea... :) One way is to have a software firewall at home with a full-tunnel VPN set-up with either IPSec or SSL if you can get it as a VPN terminator. All you need is a spare machine or VM and something like Sophos UTM...

    Best Linux Distribution For Django

    Arch is way too much hassle, yes it's nippy but you spend 99% of your time on it configuring it! With Ubuntu, the way to make it faster is to simply not use the awful Unity DM, and use something like GNU Mate or Cinnamon. CentOS and Debian make great workstation and server distros because of...

    setting authoritative time server in compliance to pcidss

    Hmm, reading up the DMZ model (which you're implementing) seems to be the one most QSA-approved companies propose. Although it seems to depend on what is classed as the network segment! I've had no complaints from QSAs or ISO 27001 auditors over either model, so long as the server that contacts...

    setting authoritative time server in compliance to pcidss

    First of all, for PCI DSS you need to make sure that the source servers are trusted and are specific IPs - an any outbound rule for NTP won't please an auditor I can tell you that! Try some of these if you're US-based: http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi I assume you're following this guide...

    [Ethernet] Unplugged Cable Error (hardcore Mode)

    Do you manage the other end of the Ethernet? This could be something like port security, which is security feature on some switches and routers. (And a massive pain in the neck)

    Need help with ASUS Port Forwarding

    I'd say all those are likely TCP ports, and opening them on UDP as well basically doubles the amount of attack "holes". BTW, try to avoid using port 80 if you can. Having that open on a home network is a very bad idea!

    What are you currently playing?

    See I found Rift like a clunky version of WoW, it just doesn't play as "smooth" and the UI (at least a few months ago) was a bit too in-your-face for my tastes. That and the talent system was incredibly odd.

    How to survive High school with nothing but a laptop

    From someone who basically has to use a laptop all the time because of a disability (dyspraxia). Laptops (even with a stylus) are pretty horrid when it comes to quick rough notes; I much prefer a good old pen and paper for quick note taking than my laptop as it's quite a bit quicker because...

    Computer Crossroads

    Laptops tend to have a shorter lifecycle than desktops; my previous company generally kept laptops for 2-3 years, but desktops could be there for 4-5 years and in some cases far, far longer as specialist machines.

In reality, unless you have some form of indicator from the program in question that a watchdog process can poll automatically at regular intervals then it's very hard to detect a crashed program as what Windows is locked up...
