We just have a single OoO (Out of Office) calendar for this exact reason.
We are spread all over, with remote people. When someone is looking for bob, its really easy to look at the OoO calendar, and see he's out for the afternoon.
We use zarafa for our email, and a public calendar, but pretty much any groupware (or even davical for just calendars) would work.
Exactly.. And since with a full DNSSEC implementation, everything should be signed by walking the tree... you could see that the root was signed. then the ORG subdomain was signed. then the mozilla.org subdomain was signed.
There is nothing wrong with SSL.. it works well to encrypt traffic between sites. its the way we manage the certificates that is ugly, and prone to lots of attacks and hacks. (How many Root CA's are automatically trusted by a browser?)
Just using DNSSEC to store the public keys for SSL would be a huge step up. No more trusting a company in the netherlands that signed your key for gmail.com. Just look it up in DNS. (yes, people could I guess hijack DNS), but that should be detected pretty quickly by comparing the keys between different computers in different regions.
Most people just want to encrypt the traffic between themselves and www.$x.com, and that the server that claims to be www.$x.com is the same one in DNS. I could really care less that www.$x.com is actually the company residing at a verified address, with letterhead, etc. Basically, domain validated certificates (which are pretty common for SSL now) shouldn't use a CA anymore.
My brother used to work at walmart too.. He would sometimes be the ONLY employee in the back half of the store, during the christmas rush, because employees were sent home after 39 hours of work for the week, no exceptions.. He would also ask for time off, months in advance, and then when they built the schedule a week or two before, they would put him down to work it, and threaten to fire him if he didn't.. I hear thats changed in the last few years..
If it were us, we would be looking at "infringment penalties" of many, many dollars for every copy we "distributed".. yet they have to pay a 20k Euro fine, and his court costs.. Wow.. the downside is really not a downside, is it?
Dropping the requests on the floor and teaching these folks a valuable lesson would have been handling it right.
No it wouldn't.. Redirecting EVERY SINGE request back to a web server that says "your computer is possibly infected with malware, and after $DATE will stop working, please click HERE to read how to fix it, or who to contact, or click HERE to proceed on to the page you requested.
That would have annoyed them, educated them, and given them a still working connection. Just stopping all resolving is an ugly thing to have to fix.. especially since its not like they just go look at their IP config, and see the wrong DNS server listed..
Or do they have different shaped corners than the Samsung models? Cause really, what they need is more lawyers involved. its legal stimulus in a crappy economy.
If I am negligent, and somebody dies, I go to jail.. If a company is negligent (say, not training workers on safety, or purchasing the appropriate safety equipment) and someone dies, they usually pay a fine, maybe, maybe someone loses their job.. usually, the company pays a fine and admits no wrong doing.
You were right about BP.. they paid a fine. And with Enron, the executives went to jail because they commited fraud. They did not go to jail because the "company" committed fraud. You and I don't get that option. We get to see just how "tough on crime" the local Attorney General wants to be in an election year.
Plus bandwidth (incoming, between regions, etc), plus storage. Plus database size (if you use hosted one) plus dedicated IO for certain databases.. Plus Load balancers.. plus DNS queries.. Plus extra for their internal network with IPSec. minus some amounts if you purchase a "reserved instance". Then throw in just how much CPU is a "high CPU" Instance. And how does your needs map to that..
But your right. a witty one line answer to make the previous guy feel dumb is all you really need. Its that simple.
The perhaps, the good answer should be that MS should team up with several Universities to fund many, many scholarships for people in the fields they need. You know.. actually encourage people to go into them.
In my state, I also have to show ID to vote.. but not to buy a gun.. Both of them are rights, guaranteed by the constitution. I find that very, very odd
I am a second amendment believer.. but you cite two examples.. I live in a medium sized city (less than 500,000). We have had shootings at least by-weekly. A few months ago, a couple guys got into an argument and started shooting at each other, and 3 people standing outside the college bar were hit.
Stories of the Hero concealed carry person are like the stories of the child kidnapper that is a 'stranger'. They deal with deep, primal fears, but statistically, they don't exist.
My state just had a HUGE deal about allowing concealed carry (we just allowed it this year)... the state is under a huge backlog of requests, people all over are very proud to be carrying, to "protect themselves" but it isn't happening.
You obviously haven't been using GPS based survey equipment.. with things like WAAS, and known good points.. (and lasers.. gotta have lasers!) you can get within a few thousandths of an inch..
I live 3 miles outside a city of 12,000, and 10 miles from Madison, WI. My choices are either, Satellite, local Wireless ISP (I currently pay $65/month for 1mb using 802.11b) or cellular (with 5GB data caps). There is no cable in my neighborhood of 100 homes (they say they will put it in if every single house signs a 2 year contract) and the phone company says we are somehow 40,000 feet from the central office, and won't even get us anyone to talk to about the fact that there are 8 fibers running a half mile down the road to connect areas..
Public service commission lists 20 communications providers for our zip code and says we are well covered. 17 of those are long distance phone/dialup providers. A regional telco (TDS) bought up all the rights to Wi-Max frequencies in the area, then decided after putting up 2 towers in the middle of madison, it was a pain, and seemingly abandoned all plans for it.. (and so far, still holds all the wi-max frequencies)
I find it funny how easy it is to order an AMD system with 256GB of ram (or even 512GB, just much more expensive) yet the Intel ones all seem to max out at 192 or really, really expensive 384GB.. I know it has to do with the memory controllers, but our loads are very, very memory dependent..
This is exactly right... If your going to use Riverbeds (or cisco, or juniper WAN accelerators) you can't optimize encrypted traffic very well. We had to Man In the Middle all of our domain (Signed SMB traffic) as well as outlook (since it encrypts to exchange) in order to combine sessions, cache, etc.
Many would argue that the cost of care is skyrocketing, not because of caring for people who can't pay, but because nobody has to directly pay the cost of care. Your doctor sees something, and its a 1% chance of being bad. So he orders a test.. You say great, what a fabulous doctor. However, someone has to pay the $15k for that test. If YOU had to pay it out of your pocket, would you think a bit on it? thats a ton of money for a very, very small chance of something being bad. In fact, when is the last time you knew someone who asked the doctor how much something costs?
Calling healthcare 'insurance' is a bit silly.. if my car insurance covered all gas, repairs, accidents (as many at-fault incidents as I needed) payments, etc.. You can bet the cost of car insurance would skyrocket too..

Instead of making tanks, I guess they could make bridges, new Fiber Optic deployments to rural areas, schools, etc

Your post is built on assumptions on top of assumptions. Only people who are religious nut jobs, or politicians do this. Nobody likes either.
Ergo, you have no friends..
The only reasonable conclusion I can come to about the submitter..
But this time it was okay.. It was probably on a development system, and everyone knows nobody can get to the server, its behind "The Firewall".

Perhaps they have never disassembled an "american car" with all the parts stamped "made in Canda" or "made in mexico".
Or do they have different shaped corners than the Samsung models?

Your answer did not really answer the question..

Blame Al Gore, for innovating the Internet :)

Okay guys. Lets freeze, and back slowly away, off his lawn.....
This will wipe the floor with any USB 'docking station' on the market.. I'm kind of excited for it.
The smallest container ships are many times bigger than this dock. And cross in a few days, so they creatures don't have to hold on nearly as long.
