So, does that mean that Dr. Seuss was writing cyberpunk before William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, John Brunner, PKD, et. al.?
I knew something had warped by reading habits VERY early.
"lingua franca... [It, lit., Frankish language] 1: a common language that consists of Italian mixed with French, Spanish, Greek, and Arabic and is spoken in the ports of the Mediterranean" Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
It's a wasted day when you don't something new or learn that something you knew wasn't correct.
However, French was the language of diplomacy (a world language) in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
If we have record of that language, then I don't see how much would have been lost.
The ability to read Egyptian hieroglyphics was lost from ~400 C.E. until Napoleon lead the looters into Egypt ~1800 and one of his troops tripped over the Rosetta Stone. [I was watching the History Channel this morning.] Plenty of records of the language were lying about, but no record players.
I'd like to see a couple of governmental technology advisory boards that consist *entirely* of PhDs from universities -- people that are *not* ex-CEOs and are less likely to have old business buddies that they're willing to do favors for.
Do you really believe there ISN'T a comparable Old Boys network in academia? Dollar bills are not the only form of currency.
Is a network architecture for military command-and-control that could survive disruptions up to and including nuclear war, designed as a way to get most economical use out of scarce large-computer resources, (ARPAnet), a viable, civilian network architecture?
It is arguable that it is a
meme... "Meme (pron. meem): A contagious information pattern that replicates by parasitically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to propagate the pattern. (Term coined by Dawkins,
by analogy with "gene".) Individual slogans, catch-phrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashions are typical memes. An idea or information
pattern is not a meme until it causes someone to replicate it, to repeat it to someone else. All transmitted knowledge is memetic."

But that sure didn't work in the TNG episode where Picard ended up on a planet with the Captain of a star ship from another race - a race that spoke in mythic metaphors. "Darmak when the walls fell!" repeated with greater and greater exasperation.
to more marketing "collateral" about the 3com Embedded Firewall than most of us would ever want to see. But it does provide a corporate-world view of the "why' of embedded firewalls. (Merilus, 3com, or whoever may come along next)
That then brings the only bad point I can think of right off the top of my head which would be the headache involved in managing so many different firewall configurations.
I believe it can deal with the NICs in groups (like subnets?). So you can add extra protection for departments or other sets of users/systems with common characteristics without having to manage configurations on a per-system basis.
That's the idea. Also, the policies for a particular system can be based on its perceived address. A laptop plugged into its docking station in the office will get a different policy when it's coming in across the Internet through a VPN. And the policy can be changed on the fly if a problem arises. And it has a (configurable) built-in fall-back policy for when the policy server isn't available. And...
C2 does not require ACLs, but ACLs are an acceptable implementation of the C2 requirement: "The TCB shall define and control access between named users and named objects (e.g., files and programs) in the ADP system. The enforcement mechanism (e.g., self/group/public controls, access control lists) shall allow users..." Note that ACLs are provided as an example, but are not mandated as an implementation.
Unique user names (for identification) and passwords (for authentication) are sufficient to meet the C2 requirements for Accountability/I&A and no other mechanisms are required, but other mechanisms are not prohibited, either. The C2 requirements specify enforcement of individual accountability but not the mechanisms of that enforcement.
Honeywell (a private company) produced the A1 SCOMP (what a boat anchor!) and the B3 XTS-200 and XTS-300 systems (check out http://www.wang.com/gov_services/security/ssso/gov _services_ssso_xts_c.asp).

And, of course, Lingua Franca came from the time when French was the world language ... the more things change ...
Babylonian C was a hardware language, silly. It was produced on clay tablets. No one is ever going to trust anything that matters to papyrus.

Don't foget that the Pentagon, too, was a target of attack on 9/11.

Forthcoming are PCMCIA NICS (great for end users who VPN in and are exposed to the 'Net), and potentially a combo 56K/NIC in the next year.
Also rumors of fibre-optic NICs. OOOH! Speedy!
presumably Gauntlet since it's their only firewall product
Wrong. It's only their latest firewall. Their Sidewinder product has been around since 1994 or so.
