Let's get something straight here, yes there might be a lot of money in the US, but a lot of it is borrowed from Asia and Europe, the companies, people and the country it self have a lot of depts.
Better yet, if you're gonna sync with a local server, take atleast 2 servers.
Let them sync each other and other public servers.
We've got a DNS entry with both IP's (A records) on the same name (ntp.domain).
Point the rest of the network to that name. OpenNTPd on all the OpenBSD/Linux server-machines, ntpd on the ntp-servers (public servers from pool.ntp.org).
Windows servers: net time/setsntp:ntp.domain
Windows desktops sync with the domain-controller (AD if you like).
profit ?
I've not had any problems with this scheme.
If there is any drift, it's in the 1 second or less range.
I still do, when I send an e-mail to a colleague at work that had Outlook 2000+ instead of Outlook 2000 I'm usually faster. It probably takes about half to a whole minute or so.
I can walk faster.
I think Exchange sucks, but Exchange doesn't suck that bad.
Does anyone know why is it that Outlook 2007 or 2003 is 'slower' instead of faster than it's predecessor ?
And yes, I know about the UDP-packet from the exchange server and the Windows XP firewall, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
If you look at the amount of spam trying to bypass spam-filtering systems, I think the hackers you talk about are some where in the past. These people are just in for the money.

The Windows admins are just as skilled as the home users. ;-)
Only Vista is different, (big) businesses will have to deal with activation.
Also restoring settings is so much easier in Linux (just copy your home-partition and (some) files of your /etc/). Try that with Windows.
I've also seen reports from virus-writers who are 'defecting' to other OS's, because they think Vista is a crap OS they don't want to run them selfs.
mplayer in Debian has libcaca support (read: to make ascii-art porn movies, just take a regular porn movie).
I'm sorry, but this whole tying in just gives me the willies.
We've seen to much shit hit the fan. Why would I want to use silverlight anyway ?

Don't get your hopes up, physical access to a machine by someone wanting to do bad to your computer or data is a VERY BAD thing.
They can take your HD, install some 'hardware' keylogger and what not, the bootloader is not a really good defense.
Ofcourse it depends on the situation. :-)
Sometimes there is no easy solution to prevent your self from shooting yourself in the foot.
There is a really simple solution for when you've been stupid, it's to not save any changes to disk/flash until you are sure it's right.
Then atleast you can ask someone who is at the location to pull the plug and start it back up.
Does it use ssl to their proxy ?
Then it would actually be kind of usefull.
I'm no expert, but this problem was (later ?) solved by (for example ?) Diffie & Hellman's key exchange protocol.

CSS and Javascript done right could be extremely usefull, ... etc.
In the time of I 'spoke' about, there we're no filesystems as large as a GB, let a lone store a 2GB file.
I think there are definitly other reasons why an open source mentality is important.
Who thinks anyone will be working on this grave security issue during the holidays ?
If it was an open source project, I think it would be more likely a (or few) developer(s)
would be.
I could be wrong ofcourse.
What do you think ?
I didn't try it, but there is neoOffice at:

You had DNS ? What a luxery, we just had a large host-file.
And I thought you'd mention that a table is a class and can be extended by other tables (read: classes).
Well, maybe you did, but I didn't understand.
Only one of the two (or even more) providers involved needs to be in Germany.
If I'm not mistaken they've already passed an anti-anonimity law,
And I wouldn't be surprised if they are going to ban the use of some encryption protocols next.
The problem is most Windows users format the disk from within Windows.
Then the malware already automatically gets run.
In Germany all your protocol encryption is not going to help.
It's the provider handling your e-mail that will save it, it's not 'read' in transit. The provider has access to the unencrypted data.
As long as you don't encrypt the e-mail it self.
Because a lot of people don't know what it means to them.
They don't understand the implications.
