Umm... what? When is that last time you went on Dell's site? That have some quality machines, especially if you look under the business section. Still, its cheaper to build yourself typically.
Apparently you haven't run a large network. Anything we can't deploy automatically over the network pretty much gets tossed. We just don't have the time or the budget to go around to 600+ computers and install software. This principle pretty much drives our decision making for OS deployment, AV, apps, tools, etc. Something that was designed to deploy over a network, rather than something we can trick into deploying over a network, sounds wonderful.
If blackboard allows you to do that. As previously stated Blackboard is a convoluted beast. The IT at my uni is pretty competent, and most things have password complexity requirements, but not for blackboard, which makes me speculate that it doesn't support that. Sure you could tack something on in the password change field, but this is a school we are talking about, think limited time, limited budget, and a lot of fires to put out.
I recently started working IT for a University, and one thing that I learned very quickly, is that, especially in a Uni with a large CS department, there are so many people that think they are "1337 h4xoR$" because they can abuse net send, or figured out how to use Slowloris, or other such things, in addition to all the other fires that need to be put out, like worms spreading over the wireless network, that we don't have time to be nice to people that are screwing around on the network. We are more interested in solving problems quickly than making friends.
This is not entirely true. Some people have looked into the cartriges in the e-cigs and have found all sorts of interesting stuff like anti-freeze and unknown compounds.
If you take enough samples, with approximately the same error rate, you will get an accurate result if you average them together.
Therefore I conclude that any answer can be calculated by running: answer = (answer+rand())/2; enough times
I think you've missed the point. I don't think that they are building new linux distro that you can run on your desktop to enjoy the wonders of OS/2, or even bringing back the GUI. What it sounds like they are doing is writing a Wine-like compatibility layer but for OS/2, but owing to the fact that a dedicated team will be writing this, with access to the original source-code, I'm guessing its going to be a whole lot more compatible than Wine. What this compatibility layer will do, is allow OS/2 shops to upgrade to a modern OS on modern hardware, while being able to bring along those critical apps that run on OS/2, in a similar fashion to how Wine allows people to migrate to linux when they still have an app that is holding them back on Windows.
Well of the traps around here do several things: the calculate your speed using radar, which they superimpose on all images, they take a photo of you entering and exiting the intersection, with a picture of the light, taken at the same time, in the lower right corner, as well as close up shots of the driver and license plates. Recently I've hear that they have started putting how long the light has been said color, so people can't say that they entered the moment that it turned yellow. AFAIK no one has been able to beat it here.
You miss-understand me, I was implying that I see plentiful of Linux users around here, but that KDE is still so uncommon that it invokes surprise on my part.
The wonders of click and drag.
I usually keep it at the top and the windows taskbar at the bottom. I'd get confused otherwise because if I am using one of them, I have the other open in a VM or remote session.
Trolling? I think so.
If not: [Citation Needed]
I very rarely see someone using KDE. In fact, its a bigger surprise, to me, to see someone using KDE than Linux itself.
If they just stick a clause in the EULA the prohibits people from doing just that, they could stop it. Although I am not sure if they could go after the author, just those who use it. How they would detect that, I'm not sure, but I know there are a few sites that can detect AdBlock.
Business ID? I thought the majority, or at least a large portion, of domain were owned my individuals or sole-proprietorships.
Also, I doubt GoDaddy or NS would ever support this because it would make their business model unsustainable, and with the volume of domains they have, they hold a lot of sway.
The original police raid on the Piratebay, which resulted in the four of them being brought up on charges was on May 31, 2006. I believe it then took them about a year to process the 160+ servers, depositions, and other evidence into a 4000 page report. That report was then process down into 60 or so charges.
More specifically, I am sitting in a lecture hall of the University of California system that is starting to shown the signs of underfunding.
So... fuck that that goddamn shit.
This makes sense to me, if they have really been studying it to the degree they claim, I'm sure they know every file and registry key associated with the bot, and exactly what each one does. It that position, I don't see why a clean removal, with no collateral damage, would not be possible, especially since the bot wouldn't be trying to defend against the removal.
Legal implications aside, this is an interesting ethics question. Is it more ethical to interfere with another's property, without permission, to solve a larger problem, or is it more ethical to respect private property and privacy? Surely there are cases for both.
If I remember correctly, sometime in the last year, a security research team from UCSD (I think) hijacked a portion of a botnet to research the success of spam and how botnets operate. I believe that after they finished, they caused the bots under their control to self destruct, and the BBC rented a botnet for an article, both bringing up similar ethical questions.
It is, from what I read it seams that the botnet generates a random domain every hour or day to fall back on, and all they did was knock out the existing C&C and register all the fall back domains for the next 2 weeks. Surely the botnet will have taken a hit, and the information gathered will possible help reduce the number of infections, but it wasn't shut down permanently.
What they should have done is hijacked the botnet using the fall back domains, and either run a self destruct if there is one, or uploaded a new "version" that effects an uninstall. Of course, that would make their business, selling security appliances, less necessary.

Troll or funny. I'm not sure which.
I think that I've seen that porno. Perhaps I've said too much.

It may not be perfect or complete, but it is better than nothing, which is was what a lot of companies have now.

I thought SUSE was about $50 when I saw it on a store shelf but that was a 2 or so years ago.
