Well, if that information is classified then not only would the company spokesperson risk firing, he'd also be committing a federal crime for disclosing that information. The journalist himself would face similar pressure, and the number of bloggers and journalists who'd be willing to go to jail to protect a source can be counted on one hand.
ModSecurity (or any other WAF) can greatly decrease the number and kinds of attacks that actually make it through to your application. And like a good firewall it can alert you when you're under attack. If you do nothing else, put this in place.
You also want to make sure your app is solid, so head on over to DISA and see what the military recommends. They have Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) for just about everything in your architecture: http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/app_security/index.html
Once you have things built, test! Use some of the open source penetration testing tools to see if there are any known vulnerabilities in your stack. Try it with and without your WAF in place.
Finally, if you really need to go the extra mile, it's time to shell out some cash for professional penetration testers. They'll have a tool belt full of open source and proprietary tools and the good ones will even do a static analysis of your code.
Governments don't exist in a vacuum. A Theocratic government wouldn't exist without people wishing to be governed by a Theocracy. So I think your most immediate issue is with the desires of the Palestinian people.
On a straight road, both tires spin at the same speed. On a curve, the difference in tire rotation causes the smaller gears in the differential to spin. If those gears were connected to a motor you could choose to spin the tires at a different rate any time.
I'm not convinced that this is as efficient as a normal gear system, since it will take power to spin the second shaft.
Of course such insane arrangements with respect to investments lead to a portion of the financial meltdown.
Oh no...
This may be a valid analogy, but I can totally see it getting out of hand.
The Pirate Bay Trial, Prosecutor: "Your honor, what The Pirate Bay is promoting, in essence, is the same thing that caused the meltdown of financial systems worldwide!" (followed by dubious lines of logic.)
That's an excellent point. Although I think you're arguing against wholesale encryption, I'd stop a little short of that and say that an encryption policy is incomplete without a disaster recovery policy.
It's possible to create great apps with just about any platform, and it's easy to create crappy ones. So I don't think you can quickly come to the solution by comparing the merits of the competing platforms themselves. That's been a painful lesson for me as well, since one of my favorite platforms lacks sufficient market support.
So if you're platform agnostic you can start from the supply of developers. An earlier reply recommended hitting monster.com or equivalent for some market research. That will not only give you some idea of what your new guys will cost you; it will also help your company put a dollar cost on keeping the existing platform versus deploying a new one.
I like doing the jigsaws at jigzone.com. You can change the piece cut to some pretty cool shapes and make the puzzles as hard or easy as you like. They're also timed so you can see how you compare against others.
I've often wondered the same myself. Sure, you can get some speed optimizations by running a slimmed-down wire protocol over the Ethernet, but it's intuitive that any additional hardware between nodes adds latency. Unless NIC hardware is essential for something like buffering, I'd think some sort of PCI bridging driver would be much better suited for this sort of setup.
If anyone's heard of anything like this please share. I'm off to do some more Googling for it myself.
I would highly recommend that you find a management coach. They'll be able to give you personal instruction and help you develop your management style. You'll also get immediate feedback on specific areas you'll want to develop.
These people get most of their business from referrals, so they are greatly driven by results.
Exactly! Why the hell would they complain about another site sending traffic their way? My guess is that because they publish pretty much the same news as other sites they've become even more commoditized. Now they will have to invest even more in generating original content.
However, I dare any web presence to be successful without allowing search engines to index them. Search engines are quite polite about not crawling sites. Just 2 little lines in a file called robots.txt will do the trick. Let me know how that works out for ya.
Actually, I'm pretty happy that standards are weakening and that kids are getting by with less learning: It means that MY kids will compete well against their peers.
As with everything you read, please consider the source. In this case, the sole source of the facts here is a firm that specializes in support services for patents. That's not to say that their findings are incorrect, but you should do your own research before quoting or taking other action based on their results.
We've all heard that the FBI is under increasing pressure from large intellectual property owners to crack down on theft. If they can get the American government to crack down on these cesspools of file sharing (colleges) that will save them the time, effort, and considerable cost of tracking these culprits down and bringing them to justice.
If they can't tack on a "File Sharing Fee" to tuitions all of the colleges ($450 sounds about right), if they can't threaten them all into coughing up the identity of "SuprSharER" at IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, the next step is to get the FBI to do it for them. If the colleges object, just say it'll help track down terrorists.
What you need is a serial multiplexer. I found a fairly good description of one here: http://www.quatech.com/products/sds.php
Basically, it IP-enables any serial device, so there are a lot of neat things you could do. We used these at a former employer and they are essential if you want to have access to a server's boot sequence.
Keep in mind that on Linux you will probably have to do a number of things to your installation to forward the boot sequence to the serial port. Luckily a howto was written for it: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HO WTO/index.html
Lastly, most modern server motherboards can be configured to send their BIOS init screens to the serial port too. This would allow you to do stuff like boot off of an emergency CD stored in the machine or work with a RAID array.
Of course Moore wants to air his movie while people are still making up their minds about candidates. He's not an institution, he's a man with an opinion and he wants to convince people. I have yet to meet anyone active in politics, or even a layman, who operates in any different way. Moreover, because his medium is the big screen, he has the opportunity to present information at a deeper level than a five-minute news segment.
Even if his facts are wrong or misrepresented, F911 serves as a convenient catalog of all of the controversy surrounding President Bush. As a result, all shades of the political spectrum are using it as a laundry list to dig even deeper to refute or validate. In the process they are becoming educated voters.
All Americans should absolutely see this movie before the election. Even if you are a staunch Republican it is beneficial to your party to understand the opposition. And there is no need to worry about lining Moore's pockets: This is one movie that is legal to download.
I've tried keeping a central nfs share of common files, but one of the very annoying things about this is that when a box goes down the OS still thinks that the directory is mounted and will not unmount it. I'm not sure at the moment if it is the sharer or the sharee, but unmounting of filesystems is one of the vital steps in shutting down a box cleanly.
Any advice? I think I saw some mount options that may remedy this, but I didn't have time to check it out.

A big difference between JetBlue and Amtrak is, Amtrak is a government-owned company.
According to Wikipedia this technology is having trouble becoming self-sustaining.
