I was setting up my laptop with a new install of Fedora Core 3 and decided to setup VPN to my office. Everything went great using PPTP Client. I noticed that I had to turn off encryption on the client for the connection to work, strange. When I turned on encryption I received this error MPPE required but peer negotiation failed which lead me to this article which shows the default policy is to accept clients with no encryption! What is the point of creating a VPN tunnel with no encryption! Dam M$!
If you are a system administrator, please check the policy for remote access and uncheck the No Encryption required!

I had this idea, but I was too slow!

using highly automated content aggregation tools around a single keyword, asbestos, because of the high click through rate associated with the ad. ‘The subject matter, while weighty and all that, is of little importance to me. It’s not that I don’t have opinions on asbestos and asbestos reform, because I do. The whole point of the site is to experiment with an idea. I built a tool that helps me aggregate topical news with the help of Google’s Alert system. So far it works wonderfully. But there’s a second motive as well. Right now asbestos reform and asbestos related litigation is on fire. Lawyers are paying anywhere from $15-100 per click through on Google ads. The second part of this big experiment is to see if I can capture some of that click through revenue while still providing a somewhat valid service to people who might arrive by search results.’”
