The hardcore network engineer doesn't need diagrams - sh ip route, sh ip bgp, sh ip ospf, sh cdp neigh, sh arp, sh cam dyn, etc. (in Cisco-speak; there are equivalents for other vendors) are enough to visualize/plan/troubleshoot, quite frankly.
It's a hell of a lot easier to a) go straight up, go ballistic (think FOBS, Fractional Orbital Bombardment System), come back down, or b) put your stuff in orbit to begin with and then launch/release as needed (Thor = 'smart crowbars', kinetic-kill metal rods with no need for warheads; Thoth = missiles already on orbit, ready to be called down at a moment's notice) than to build a frigging -airplane- out of materials which don't exist yet to slog through all that air (and heat) to and from the release-point.
Stupid idea, old thinking. Much easier to punch -up- though 100 miles of atmosphere, then punch back -down- through 100 miles of atmosphere, rather than -across- thousands of miles of the stuff.
NASA is a jobs program for bureaucrats, and a goldmine for companies like . . . Lockheed-Martin.
Lockheed-Martin has no interest in seeing NASA shut down the shuttle - quite the opposite. Government contracting in general and NASA in particular are great cash-cows for LMC and for all the companies on the list you've cited.
The future of spaceflight doesn't lie with NASA - it lies with private ventures like Xcor. Taking the manned mission away from NASA and pushing them the hell out of the current command-and-control, false economy of the Shuttle-distorted launch market is the best thing that could happen to the cause of manned spaceflight.
why do they force their authors to submit their manuscripts in Microsoft Word format?
I've heard from a number of authors that O'Reilly won't take the manuscripts in any other format. Wouldn't it at least make sense for them to support OpenOffice.swf files?
Where are you planning on spending Christmas, Pyongyang?!
When you visit these types of countries as a tourist, you're putting money in the pockets of tyrants who deny their citizens the bare -basics- of what you take for granted as your freedom every day.
that when put into the hearth, shows funny-looking script characters on the inside, resizes itself to fit the wearer's finger, and answers to the name of "Precious."

First of all, you need to know what's normal for your network, and how your bandwidth is actually being used:

Then you need to make use of technologies which allow you to provision accordingly:

Juniper and other vendors have equivalent capabilities, I'm just not very familiar with them. But the concepts are the same.
The gloves will -really- come off - no more Mr. Nice Guy! ;>
Wow, I never knew there was a whole test just on this one aspect of VPN tunneling technology . . . ;>
Money is fungible.
KDE binaries are available via Fink.
and you even want to run WindowMaker or Fluxbox, you don't need Linux.
All you need is Fink.
the Internet bubble burst a while ago - bandwidth and storage are neither infinite nor free.

Aging, sclerotic bureaucracies flying obsolete, overly-complex 'spacecraft' don't explore new frontiers.

What kind of sad dork are you?! Carpe diem, dude!
that expands and contracts to fit the wearer's finger, confers the power of invisibility, and displays odd-looking runes on its interior, when heated.
And when you talk to your "Precious", she'll think you mean
-her-!
that there are trace amounts of lead in areas inhabited by large concentrations of Slashdot posters? ;>
such as the 827 support PPPoE.

or does it seem like these folks are sort of headed in the wrong direction with this stuff?
"Scotty, we need 38mph now, or we're all dead!"
Just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?

don't you really know the answer, already?
I make decisions every day based upon what I read on Slashdot!
