In WWII there was a relatively clearly defined theater of war in which we could identify enemy soldiers
You seem to be forgetting about the 120,000 Japanese Americans imprisoned simply because they were of Japanese descent. Some of these were U.S. citizens.
I like mailman. But for an "everyone" list (like the one used in this instance) would be impossible to maintain, wouldn't it?
I have never been the admin for Exchange, but I can make an educated guess that with Active Directory and Exchange, that when you create or delete an account in AD, the "Everyone" DL in Exchange doesn't need to be updated at all. (If someone could confirm that, I'd appreciate it).
I don't know how one would do something like that with mailman. Can you hook a mailing list into a LDAP query or something like that? Or would you have to script something to manually munge the list periodically based on an LDAP query?
Anecdotally, a colleague of mine was complaing her brand new lenovo thinkpad with Vista was slow compared to her imac -- she was kind of amazed that the they had the same processor and memory.
Just out of curiosity, do you know whether both the iMac and the Thinkpad use the same hard drive? (i.e. did the iMac also have a 5400 rpm laptop HD?)
But how does one tell if the NTP daemon and localtime() library on a particular system is repeating the second, slewing, or behaving correctly. (Other than the obvious/tedious -- testing:-D )
"Slew the time"? What system does that? According to the following page, the NTP server announces the leap second in advanced, and "well-behaved" kernels count the extra second like they are supposed to; i.e. there is no slewing: http://www.cis.udel.edu/~mills/leap.html
Thanks for trying to help, but I said "mass deploy/remove" -- not *individually* remove from every single profile on every one of the 1500 computers in my organization.
I think this problem highlights in my opinion a related issue in the Mozilla/Firefox certificate authority mechanism.
There doesn't seem to be a way to mass deploy (or, in this case, remove) a CA from it.
If I'm wrong, please enlighten me. The closest thing I have found is a Firefox extension that you can install that adds the CAs you choose (which I can't find a link to right now:( )
From what I gather, you can apply for licenses to federally-owned patents. This is typically done through a "Technology Transfer" office. It seems that you have to be a business capable of bringing the invention to market. I suppose in this case you would have to be capable of implementing the software.
Privoxy is a great improvement over "bare" browsing (no nekkid jokes!:-P), but I found I could not live without the Firefox extensions NoScript, Greasemonkey*, and Stylish**.
The fast JavaScript engine is sexy, but Firefox will have that soon (I know it's in the 3.1 beta).

What are the differences between TIBCO SmartSockets and Rendezvous? They seem to be very similar. I suppose I could try reading the documentation for Rendezvous, but I know someone out there in/.-land knows the information already and is itching to share!
I use SmartSockets indirectly through a secondary API in some software that I maintain. The secondary API, GMSEC, is meant to provide a standard interface to the messaging layer; i.e. so that no matter what MOM you want to use, your programs use the same API. OK, in practice, GMSEC only supports a few MOM packages, but that's the idea anyway1
It's been a while, but I just got FIOS, and it turns out to be a little confusing as to where to change the DNS settings. Complicating matters is that the help page from Verizon is WRONG -- at least for the MI1424WR router.
There are two different spots to change DNS servers in the MI1424WR router provided by Verizon -- a "Network (Home/Office)", and "Broadband Connection (Coax)". Changing the "Network..." DNS settings does nothing that I can see. i.e. when I changed these, DNS lookups through the router still sent me to Verizon's hijacked page.
You have to change the Broadband (Coax) DNS settings to the "good" DNS servers. Once I did that, DNS worked properly -- including DNS for the local network.
One might ask why I didn't just setup the OS to use good DNS servers. The answer is that the router provides DNS for your local home network. For example if you have a computer "foobar", then if you DNS lookup "foobar", you get the LAN IP of that computer. The domain is a bogus ".home" (i.e. "foobar.home").
Anyway, I hope this helps someone. I tried to find a spot to nicely tell Verizon that their help page is wrong, but after 5 minutes I decided it's not my problem anymore!
(a deltic so please dont moan about spelling but the content)
Excuse me, but what is a "deltic"? I can't find anything on the 'net except for references to trains and engines -- and you are obviously not a train.:)
It pains me that so many people drive cars larger than they really need, but consider this: A few mpg increase for a truck has much more impact than the same mpg increase in an already fuel-efficient vehicle.
For example, let's say a truck gets 20 mpg. After doing simple things like checking the tire air pressure, driving conservatively (slowly), etc, it might get 25 mpg -- that's a 25% increase.
But if you start with a car that already gets 50 mpg and you increase it to 55 mpg, that's only a 10% increase in efficiency.
I'd say it doesn't have anything to do with connecting an iPod. I was just pointing out that iTunes does load other drivers besides the USB one that apparently was causing the BSOD.

Some information about Technology Transfer here:
http://www.federallabs.org/home/faqs/
Which includes a link to a listing of all federal research organizations and how to initiate Tech Transfer, which I'll repeat here:
http://www.federallabs.org/labs/results/?Agency=-1&
The relevant U.S. Codes appear to be collected here:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode35/usc_sup_01_35_10_II_20_18.html
In particular, it seems "TITLE 35 > PART II > CHAPTER 18 > Section 209" applies.
But hey, IANAL. :)

I'm not sure if you're just trying to be funny... but you can *hide* the tags by using this stylesheet:

I was curious, so I went and found instructions from Verizon on how to switch:

However, some of the links from that page go nowhere.
This page has links to the actual DNS server IPs:
