Redhat didn't dump their desktop distro. They had Redhat 4 Desktop and Redhat 5 Client already. These are targetted towards businesses. Aside from fedora, the distro has never really been targetted at home users, but hobbyists and businesses instead. Besides, getting legal media codecs on Linux is great thing. I wish the codecs weren't patent-encumbered, but getting legal codecs is still a good thing.
Perhaps the Duke networking group asked someone to submit this to slashdot in order to solve their problem for them. Why do the legwork when all the geeks on slashdot will do it for you? *ducks*
It can be a problem if the University is subject to the ADA. I know of one University that has made email an official communications channel and doesn't allow autoforwarding of email. Granted, this University uses Exchange, which is fine, but if it tried to use Live Mail, then ADA and official communication channel factors would make for a strong case against Windows LiveMail.
My grandmother has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands. I gave her my old gameboy and she loved to play Tetris. She said that playing it regularly made her fingers hurt less. Maybe you should keep playing enough to keep your fingers in shape.
Windows Starter Edition will probably be the default to come with new PC's, especially the sub $400 PC's. Then you'll have to upgrade to do the things you want to do.
I think this will make Windows Millenium Edition look good in comparision.
I used to know a waiter. He told me that there was something called "tipping out". I don't know the percentage, but portions of the tip had to be given to the hostess, cooks, and bartender -- even if nothing from the bar was served. It probably varies by restaurant.
How are you supposed to be able to determine if a hotspot is public, or simply misconfigured. If you had to crack WEP (weak as it is), then that's clearly unauthorized, but how can you tell when a hotspot without a captive portal is public or not?
This doesn't seem to be a movement to release more or less research. It's just a way to publish research without having to get published in academic journals.
Journals are very expensive and act as a filter for what is published in them.
It sounds like they are just cutting out the journals which act as a middleman.
I attended a fascinating lecture from the Dean of an IT college. In a nutshell, the lecture said that Pure CS or Computer Science majors were dropping, but they were being replaced by blended majors. These blended majors are CS mixed with another discipline, for example, Bioinformatics is Biology mixed with CS/IT. Computiational Physics is CS mixed with Physics.
In essense, IT is becoming a required part of other disciplines. IT is maturing and has merged with other disciplines to create new hybrid disciplines.
This is a general trend. Many new research initiatives are the product of a multi-discipline approach.
I used to not be so crazy about H1-B's, but I realized that I would rather have H1-B's in the country paying US taxes than having the money go to other countries via outsourcing.
P.S. I realize that an immigrant may send a good bit of money back to their homeland, but at least they are still contributing to the US economy.
This is similar to the MT-Blacklist MovableType Plugin. It features a central blacklist. The main difference is that it isn't real-time.
Perhaps these projects should work together. Is there an MovableType plugin that does real-time trackback and comment spam blocking? I wonder how difficult it would be to have the blacklist plugin for MovableType use the same technology.

Does this mean they'll remove the thruster cones from the Smithsonian Air & space museum? I better destroy my photos from the museum trip.
To bad this won't power heart implants or artificial hearts.

There is some open source software from the University of Rochester called webwork.

It's is an automatic math-based homework assignment and submission system.
It can give each student a different version of the same problem.
Part of the problem with most anti-cheating methods is that it makes more work on the already busy professor.
I'm in favor of net neutrality, but I wonder if the bill will prevent ISP's from using firewall rules to block the worm-du-jour.
What can and can't be blocked? exploit attempts? worms? botnets? seti-at-home? yahoo searches?
Would we have a more worm-laden internet if ISP's couldn't block any traffic?
Hmmm, what if there is another voting recount debacle? That would be a pretext to stay in office. The war trump card is more easily stretched, though.
Please, continue to bash google. The price will drop to a reasonable level, then the prudent investors will come in.

It's not for good or evil. Think of a bank printing out it's monthly statements.

Spending bills indirectly create policy, whether there are riders or not.
If there is no funding for a certain law, then it won't be enfored, or enforced very poorly.

Too bad it doesn't mention Drupal, PhpNuke, PostNuke or some of the other fine CMS/blogging packages
How is this different from Nessus?
