I read one of Kessler's previous books (Running Money) and found that he was an extremely clueless investor who just happened to get lucky. He started up a hedge fund in '95 or with a 5 year time horizon (so it closed right at the peak of the market in 2000). You could have picked practically any stock and done outstanding if you would have been in the market for those five years. He even admits one of the companies that made him the most money was out of pure luck.
The books are fairly interesting if you want to see how people actually operate. But, if you want to learn something I'd steer clear. He's one of the many people who mistake luck for skill.
It's also illegal for a telemarketer to call your land line if your number is on the Do Not Call list, but telemarketers from other countries aren't required to abide by this requirement.
Cisco does not offer any better security than anybody else in the 802.11 space. In fact their stuff isn't that great, they just bought out some other company and slapped their sticker on it.
I have no idea what you're talking about with better key management. You put the key in the AP, and you put the key on the client. Same as for any other 802.11 wireless product.
You must have been brainwashed at the CCNA/P class, if you think the Cisco solutions are better. (For the record they're not better, just more expensive).
By "mount point(s)" the man page refers to what the client filesystem will use as mount points. Since you've obviously have no experience with NFS I'll give you a quick example of exporting a subdirectory inside a local mount point on its own line. (Notice how/tmp/test is subdirectory in the root filesystem, yet it works as an entry in the exports file!)
#uname -r 4.5-STABLE # cd/tmp/ # mkdir test # cd test # touch hello # echo "/tmp/test -maproot=0" >/etc/exports # killall -HUP mountd # mount localhost:/tmp/test/cdrom # cd/cdrom ; ls hello #
I believe that the last statement in your post should probably apply to you.
You CAN have multiple lines for the same partition

Comments about/etc/exports... "There are no identifiers between the components of the line. Yes, it would be easier to read if we could put each shared directory on its own line, but we can't; they're all on the same partition. The FreeBSD team could rewrite this so that it had more structure, but then our/etc/exports would be incompatible with that from any other Unix."
What?!?! Did this guy even read the man page for/etc/exports? Of course you can have seperate directories from the same partition on different lines!! In the man page they have an example of it! Plus there is this comment lifted directly from the FreeBSD 4.5 man page for/etc/exports.
"Mount points for a filesystem may appear on multiple lines each with different sets of hosts and export options."
Michael's articles are usually of excellent quality, but I can't believe how many other mistakes he's made! The article is written to familiarize a "junior" sys admin to NFS, but only teaches them bad habits. Hopefully he'll do a little more research for his future articles.
The man pages for ssh/sshd are excellent. You'll get a lot more by just reading them than this article. (Especially since you can only see half of it.)
NSA Sending Out Backdoored Patches...

Why would the NSA risk tarnishing it's reputation by releasing backdoored patches to the kernel under it's own name?? Linux is open source, everybody and their mother can submit and get patches into the kernel (if they are of technical merit). I'll bet that nobody knows a portion of the people who submit kernel patches, it's the internet, it's (relatively) anonymous.
You don't really get to the important point of the article until the last page. The people who are in trouble are the people who know HTML, ie. the people who have no skills. If you know how to program and can program well I wouldn't worry too much. The only thing you have to differently now is differentiate yourself from the computer retards that seem to have infiltrated the tech sector.
The only thing this deflation has done was get rid of some of the free loaders. The real producers have and will always have job offers awaiting.
It seems to me that everyone wants to get something for nothing!! I use linux software to get my job done, and modifications I make go back to the community (where the code came from). You can't expect thousands of developers to write all your code for you and then put in 2 weeks of effort for a "value-add" and give nothing back in return. (Actually, you can. Just use *BSD). It's really simple, if you don't like the License, don't use the software. Write your own, use *BSD, etc. But quit crying about the fact that you can't steal others work and call it your own without their permission!!
If you look at GigE you'll notice that you can use the exact same Cat 5 cable that works with 100 MBit ethernet. Sure the switches are a little more than 10/100 Switches but they still are much cheaper than Fibre Channel!! GigE card $300 - FC Card $1200, GigE Switch (18 ports) - $7500, 18 port FC Switch >$20,000. It seems to me that FC is the dead technology here.
I can search 22 access points!! Wow, I think it might have been a good idea to wait until there were at least a few hundred in the database, but 22?!?!
Wrong...
It's just a GSM phone. It works wherever GSM is available, and GSM is available in our nations capitol. (You may be paying higher rates, but thats why you get a company visor phone).
What is the RBL's web address? www.mail-abuse.net!! It is for mail abuse!! Not blocking web-sites!! It is also optional. And yes, it censors emails that come from an ip where spam originates. If you want to continue getting spam from these ip's either don't use the RBL or go with an ISP that doesn't use it. I don't see how you can complain about a service which is *FREE* and optional.
Start your project at home on your own time and GPL the code, or find some other GPLed code that you can use. Then when it's time to do work for the University use the GPLed code and the University will be forced to GPL all the code that you generate because it's based of GPLed code.
It seems as though the author believes that he can make up the definition of OS to suit his needs. I could make the claim that MacOS X is not an OS because it doesn't contain a Word Processor and Spreadsheet. According the the author I could say this because my definition of an OS is different than the real definition.

Your comment is completely incorrect.
Total Market Cap is the number of shares outstanding * share price. It has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of debt a company has.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_cap
I believe you're thinking of enterprise value which does take into account the amount of outstanding debt.

Did anyone else notice that their test machines were 200 Mhz Pentiums running Windows 2000.
I bet they couldn't only see 5kbytes of traffic because that's all those poor machines could pump out!

Bash & tcsh can do the same things that zsh does. It looks like some replication of work if you ask me.
