OK so the Gov't is going to implement a "secure NW"
OK so the Gov't already has some "secure NWs"
OK so the Gov't is "wasting" money
Why is any of this news? The US gov't does this sort of thing all the time.
The US gov't gave the Airline industry 17 BILLION dollars. This is a group of people who couldn't move all the people who wanted to be moved AND still lost money! We're feeding a country we're bombing.
I say, "Let'em have their secure network," more jobs for me!
ultimately all our "Smart Bombs" and "Stealth Planes" all do the same thing that "Not So Smart Bombs" and "Quite Visible Planes" did in the past. Soften up the enemy for ground troops.
It would be wonderful if we had weapons that could finish off the war but ultimately we'll have to have a lot of 18-40 yr olds die in the process. When it is all sadi and done Afghani rocks will have been moved about and we will have "bombed them back to the stone age" setting them back a good 45 minutes.
War requires humans to kill one another face to face. It is sad.

I recently started read TPJ and was totally ready to subscribe and buy all the back issues. I think if buy enough things that say Perl on them then I'll learn it by osmosis (which, btw, isn't going too well.)
I just bought SysAdmin the other day (despite my being an NT Sys Admin which isn't exactly the same thing as being a Sys Admin -- it's like Sys Admin Lite) to get my sweaty hands on TPJ. It was kinda thin. What 30 (?) pages? Seems kinda chinsy. And I have this SysAdmin Magazine which near as I can tell (I do use Linux and OSX for fun) kinda blows.
I hope they are still worth something when you get them. In NYC I am REALLY seeing a move towards Lotus Notes and Linux servers. No one wants to deal with Exchange or any of the other MS vulnerablities.
TCP/IP & SECURITY are not difficult! Common sense is not difficult. Dilligence is not difficult.
Letting any Yahoo! that can Ctrl X & Crtl V run a complex system is idiotic. I doubt the original intent of the MCSE was to train people to pass a test! I assume they atually meant to test a person. Then once the test was passed the passer would take a position with an experienced Sys Admin who could "finish" their training. An apprenticeship... guild-like enough for you?
Cram learning a bunch of hooey like "remote installs" and other Marketing Crap hasn't produced any Sys Admins yet.
I'm not one of those people who assumes MCSE = Dimwit but if you hire an MCSE fresh out of school and expect an expert it is YOU who are the dimwit. And you should expect bad things to follow.
The OP has a valid point, marketing has sold the "Zero Administration" line, but truth be told it don't work, won't work, can't work and until people stop trying to make it work Nimda's will disrupt business everytime they come out.
On NAV C -- users do not log in to a network per se. Set up is 56K -- Lotus Notes is their only way in to NW via DBs. Mail is slow enough so pre mail scripts are frowned upon.
Due to connection issues Lotus Agents aren't much of a choice. One click is not much to ask for.
I administer Notes, NT, Win9x and a Linux box, plus firewalls yadda, yadda.
I work in a Corporate Travel Agency in NYC, they just decimated my entire staff and I have me and one other guy who has been relegated to inputting ticket refunds.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! My lone IIS server has been patched since the first day. Lotus Notes doesn't care about these dumb ass viruses (virii) and my Norton's are all up to date.
My USERS got this crap from infected web pages!
We're losing a machine a day in the field b/c these bozos can't figure out how to click on a button called VIRUS_FIX on the corporate intranet.
I am ready to frigging quit and become an English Teacher fuck the money! If the whole MS world can be brought to its knees everytime some kid in Sweden has the day off then we're all fucked.
CIOs who continue to use Outlook/IIS deserve whatever happens to them. (We HAD to use IIS for a 3rd party software app.) Micorsoft SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE PAYING IT'S CUSTOMERS BACK FOR THIS! HOW DARE THEY GET READY TO RELEASE YET ANOTHER VIRUS RUNTIME OS.
It is seriously time for the MCSE farms to be shut down and for corporate America to move to another OS. Fuck the users; guess what they don't know all that much about the OS they are on switching them now will have no lasting impact.
there has been speculation that Osama Bin Laden has hidden messages in pornographic images posted and swapped on Usenet
If they posted in alt.binaries.erotica.veils or alt.binaries.erotica.bondage.camels between 1990 and 2001 I have every.jpg,.mpg,.avi,.bmp,.pcx,.mov and.html file ever posted. Also I have every.txt,.doc file from alt.stories.erotica.camel.
In response to number 3, I'd like to say, "well, duh". Anyone clever enough to transmit messages via steganography is not going to be stupid enough to potentially compromise themselves by choosing a simple password.
But what about folks who use Microsoft Visual Steganography Studio? You take a.bmp or.jpg and you type text on it and hit compile... wham! you've got covert operations. Those folks might use a simple password like ***** or password!
and so France makes one. Math is not owned by the USA and math makes Encryption. I understand that there are smart people outside of my country, although I haven't personally encountered any.
I like the idea of your story but it only works if the whole world is run by the USA.
Despite my best efforts to NEVER have and IIS server we in the travel industry need to have a "turn key" (oh I love marketing) solution to put reports on the web. ALL of the solutions use IIS as the server, Apache, iPlanet, Domino are NOT options.
So if you want reports on the web and don't want to spend a fortune having someone reinvent the wheel who has NO RELATIONSHIP with SABRE/Apollo/WorldSpan you buy and IIS server and run their products on it.
--Say you're a good MS admin and you ghave dutifully patched up your IIS machine and never got hit with Code Red or Nimda on your servers BUT your Win9x users who don't run Outlook (Express either) go to an infected webpage: How will not using IIS help?
--Yes the patch was there for months; but SARC (et al) was cuaght off guard,.DAT files were'nt ready until the next day and the "Fix" is so-so at best.
--I"m not blaming anti - virus companies but I am confused how IIS is the sole badguy.
--You can get hit with this thing from many directions (assuming WinXX.)

MS has always bent over backwards so that their shit would run on some old DOS machine. Which is probably a big part of the problem...

nice all it needs is a background track of some guy screaming "Mortal Kombat"
I looked at that picture for hours and I couldn't see those B-52s

Good luck with your certs. Really.

But seriously -- good luck.
Granted rights!
Makes that "old" implicit rights look pretty damn silly doesn't it?
Now if we can just figure out a way to make it so no applications have implicit rights (like a root user) but granted rights (like a user) we'd be OK.
So when is WINiX coming out?
UGH! You are so friggin' clueless!
It's not about keeping things difficult.
