Kerberos KDC for authorization and OpenLDAP for authentication
Isn't this backwards? I always thought Kerberos was for authentication and LDAP was for authorization? I could be wrong, but I am using Kerberos for authentication only.
Card being alive during the making of these movies may not make a bit of difference. It all comes down to what rights he retained when he allowed his books to be made into movies. Most writers don't get to retain enough rights to their works to keep the movies on par with their books, which is why movies are usually much different.
Does anyone know if Card retained some sort of creative control over the content of this movie?
Back in High School, we had a NASA guy (no, I don't remember his name) come talk to our class. When asked why you don't see stars in any photos taken from outer space (anyone besides me ever notice this?), he said that the stars are too far away to be seen.
When someone then asked why we can see them from Earth, he said the atmosphere acts as a kind of magnifying lens which allows us to see objects far off in the distance that we would not normally be able to see without it.
Sci-Fi shows/movies always show stars because that is what people expect to see. How interesting would an epic space battle be if the background was completely black?
Be careful with this. This is safe to use only if you can guarantee that there are no bridge loops in your broadcast domain. If you can't guarantee that (i.e. a random user plugs a switch into two wallports on the same subnet) then you could potentially have bigger problems than what you were originally trying to solve.
I would prefer to see less federal money and more state money.
In some countries (Switzerland comes to mind, but I may be mistaken), taxes first go to the equivalent of the state level. They take what they need and then pass the surplus up to the federal level.
It's an interesting concept designed to make sure the states have more say than the feds as far as taxes and spending are concerned. I personally believe this is the type of thing that the US founding fathers were trying to achieve.
It may not work in the US though, I can certainly see states routinely spending everything they collect and not passing anything up to the feds.
Interesting. The article said they did this with a single TCP stream. How did they get that speed? Maybe by muxing 4 Gigabit Ethernet NICs together and round robin-ing the packets? Doesn't seem likely.
10 Gigabit ethernet is currently on track to become a standard sometime in the (hopefully near) future. Several networking companies already produce 10 Gigabit ethernet compliant gear.
The backbone of this speed test is probably done with OC-192 (~10 Gbps) or multiple OC-48 (2.48 Gbps) circuits.
Since it is unlikely that a single machine can source 6 Gbps, this test was likely sourced from a cluster of machines.
If Lucas shows us a Vader suit in Episode 3 that we haven't seen before, then we must assume the lame Episode 4 suit was an upgrade. This "new" suit had better be a clunky piece o' crap, for the sake of continuity.
Just like they made the ship in Star Trek: Enterprise look less sophisticated than the ship in the original series...oh wait.
I just don't understand how Greedo could have missed at that range. If he was that bad of a shot, he would not have lasted long in his line of work. Granted we know Han kills him but presumably that wasn't his first day on the job.
"John Carpenter wanted to further the franchise after Part II but couldn't figure out a way to do it. So the plan was to release a new Halloween-themed film each October, unrelated to each other except that they dealt with the Halloween holiday itself. This lasted exactly one year."
The way I beat "The Driver" was to stash a fast car a little ways up the road from the start of the race. You have to be careful where you put it or it will disappear when the mission starts.
Just pull up to the fast car, switch cars and step on it. Switching early should allow you to catch up and pass the other car.
That's pretty funny. Rebooting the DSLAM will knock more customers offline than just you. Go Qwest Customer service!
Reminds me of the time Qwest "lost" the information that tells them what port my line was plugged into. To find it, they had me on the phone asking me if my modem's link light went off as they started unplugging cables one by one.
I guess a new series could turn out well, but I get the impression that it won't. Sci-fi should have let Richard Hatch do his follow-up idea instead of "reimagining" the story.
What was Richard Hatch's follow-up idea? Please explain (or link), curious minds want to know!
Neo also seemed to be a tool of the matrix to make choices that they could not make themselves.
This is exactly the point illustrated at the end of the Foundation series by Issac Asimov. Interesting to note that the person who practically invented robotic AI stories had come up with this idea.
That coupled with the obvious Dune and Christ/Buddhist overtones made me wish for something a little more original. Oh well, I guess there really are no new ideas anymore.

Nice. But Bill doesn't live in Redmond. He lives in Medina. You can see his house from the 520 bridge over Lake Washington going eastbound.
Microsoft's headquarters are in Redmond, but they also have a large presence in Bellevue and other areas as well.

Actually if you vote with an absentee ballot, it is not free. You need to pay for the stamp to mail it in.

Wow that is really cool. Is there any more up to date information about this or a successfull rollout that you know of?

I know you are trolling but I'll answer anyway.

According to this review of Halloween 3:

I switched soon after that.

Notice on that web page the phrase "up to". Knowing Qwest, this makes me nervous.
Can anyone verify that you can actually get 1.5Mbps / 896kbps for $28/month?

Maybe next time you should read the NDA before signing it and negotiate a contract that is more favorable to your side?
Just a thought.

British cars have a bad reliability reputation (deserved or not). A classic example is that British cars leak oil frequently.

Maybe because Unixware has been irrelevant for so long now that nobody bothered to port SYN protection to it?
Just a guess, I have no hard data to support that.

If you had been paying attention you'd know that it wasn't Earth that was being bombarded. Earth wasn't even mentioned until late in the second half.
