Just read about this in the paper today, a Norwegian parking company just started with this practice and the guy caught was quite surprised as he was not notified about his wrongdoings until the ticket came in the mail (he parked there several times thus getting several tickets). The Norwegian Data Inspectorate is looking into this practice.
I have been to many african countries and the only way the are able to communicate with work, family and friends is through mobile phone. There is no infrastructure for wired communications and the postal service is almost non existant or cost a furtune (also there is a lack of places where you can pick up the mail). You can be in the middle of nowhere and you find a mobile phone mast and people with mobile phones. Many of them do in fact have several phones, one on each major provider, as the providers not always peer with each other or the peering is defunc. Mobile serivce is cheap as long as you call people on same carrier, thus another reason for more than one phone.
3Par is not worth it, HP is just being bully and want to get rid of the HD partnership so they can push their own storage. For Dell and their customers this is a relief as they would have burned a lot of their cash reserves, now HP have. 3Par was impressive yesterday tomorrow somebody else will show how storage should be done.
You lucky bastard, we work with 128Kbit/s links (C-band)((ok, most of them are 256Kbit/s now)). You can a lot with 128Kbit/s links and up, we run whole offices with 5-20 people on that bandwidth.
All management is done from HQ using telnet/ssh/rdp and server management cards so as long as we got ip connection we are good. We also do weekly backups from offshore to onshore as a disaster recovery using vmware, wan optimizers and deduplication. Works quite ok, as long as there is not massive amounts of unique data created offshore and stored on the vm's. As this is manned offshore units we do not need to ip enable utillity power controls, but they are available in many forms and shapes.
750-850ms latency is no problem, you get used to it in a couple of years but it's a real death blow for applications with a lot of small requests and replies like SQL.
There's is one problem you will get and that is your precious innmarsat/iridum links. You will need service personel on your unit when that fails, not if, when. A solution used on our units is a innmarsat-b/fleet terminal connected with a serial port or ip to equipment onsite, so at least if you mess up a router config you can dial in the backdoor.
We use Riverbed on our offshore units (and remote offices) through satellite with an average 700ms delay (256kbit). Before and after the riverbed installation is like night and day. The greatest benefit we got was the "removal" of the sat.com. delay since cifs and a lot of other protocols really stinks on sat.com. due to many small packages. The riverbed box fixes that and does a kind of onsite reply, instead of the server onshore, and the users feel this as a quicker response. At the average we get a 10x+ compression/optimizing factor on all our sites so bandwidth usage is also reduced dramatically.
Sorry, but I mixed this case with another scandinavian bank called Scandiabanken that just had this happend to them. Not at so big scale but they have locked all their users out while the users are waiting for printed one time passwords by snail mail.
The Nordea issue is that the trojan sent login information to the scammers while at the same time giving errors at logon to the bank web page. This trojan also links to several other scandinavian banks so it could be bigger than just Nordea.
Sorry, have to reply to myself, I mixed this up with another similar issue.
Nordea where using one time printed passwords but the trojan gave an error on login and sent the code to the scammers thus allowing the scammers to use that code.
They changed from password/account number + pin authentication or something to printed one time passwords shortly after they detected the breake in. In fact they changed it over night so to speak.
I where at VMWorld and saw they demonstrated it. They had several Mac's there to play with with VMWare installed. They demonstrated copy/paste between host (Mac) and guest (XP), shared networking, file transfers etc. etc.
Seemed to work ok and didn't sound/look like it was a long way until release.
But I'm not a Mac person so I didn't pay that booth much attention, not that I paid the rest any more attention;)
Yes, it's now. I use Evolution at work to communicate with the Exchange server. The only problem with it is the lacking support for outlook forms stuff and it's painfully slow. The slowness could be that I have mail folders with 5000+ mail objects in but hey they are all very important:)
don't remember where but i read/saw that they expected that there where enough water there to both propellant and a steady water supply to a "moonbase". It's all a matter of size isn't it:) But as you say, the problem is where and how to extract that water.
If we ever get around to establish an moonbase, the propellant side of things will be less important than today since we can launch from the moon, that will require less power and less propellant.
It seems like it might be there, water on the moon that is in the form of ice
http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/ice/ice_moon. html The data show a distinctive 4.6 percent signature over the north polar region and a 3.0 percent signature over the south, a strong indication that water is present in both these areas.
You can get PC's, Workstations and Servers without an OS preloaded or FreeDOS (on a bootable CD) but don't know about laptops though since we primarily don't use Dell laptops anymore and all our laptops are Windows based anyway (except for mine:).
Not sure if you need company account or not, but it's highly likely.
re 2. The 2G limit was on the client pst (or is it ost?) files and is "fixed" with Outlook 2003. There has never been a limit like that on the server (from exch5.5 and up), we got several users with 10G+ mailboxes. The only big limitation on the server is if you run standard and not enterprise version of exchange, that there's a max size on the info. stores.
You are _not_ supposed to "upgrade" from Knoppix to "real" Debian since there's no such thing. If you do you're b0rked, that's like "upgrading" Mandrake to Red Hat. Knoppix is a standalone distro made out of a selected set of packages from Debian not a Debian distro.
I find VMWare quite superior to VPC any day. We now run 25 virtual servers (win2k3/2k and linux) on two IBM X445 boxes with the latest VMWare ESX version connected to a IBM Fastt SAN and it works just greate. I've tried VPC several times but it just don't "scale" the way VMWare do today, also since the management OS is linux with a very rich perl API available it's easy to work with if you're into that. I don't find VMWare ESX Server to be that expensive at all, with SMP support (on the virtual client) it's like $5000 or something.
The only thing that has been a problem so far is getting the VMWare client utils installed if the virtual OS is running the 2.6.x kernel.

Not quite right, we buy Dell OptiPlex, Precision and Poweredge servers all the time here in Norway without any OS preinstalled.
Yes, it's now. :)
