You show a remarkable ignorance of the american political process, you need neither a lawsuit nor shoddy evidence to interfere with NASA's operations. Hell, you don't even have to pay taxes, over 18? Not a felon? Lots of hot air? Go for it.
And I'd like to point out that this is in regards to a rather standard and simplified system. If the server provides a generalized service, like central servers for smaller operations, then firing the admin means getting rid of the one person with the experience to trouble shoot the system in place. So, in the example above you can quickly remove the admin who provides a basic specialized service with higher tolerances than that in a generalized service with lower tolerances.
I think the original argument is a little goofy, I reboot when I don't need to at times, but only because I can - the system is not providing a live service. In fact failover provides support for this sort of thing and is hardly a step away from proper administration.
My openbsd laptop, basically works under the assumption that the system will be reinstalled, from disk, on release. This is a good thing as it insures proper installation of the new system and makes a proper backup strategy a necessity.
This goes all the way back to netscape vs IE, in essence, if IE is a security nightmare (IE6 anyone?) you cannot replace it for all tasks on the computer and you cannot uninstall the damn thing either. So, you'd download your latest copy of Firefox, lock IE in a patched up dungeon somewhere, only to be forced to reinstall IE, so can run WGA.
Frak, IE6 is STILL in the wild and you have the gall to ask this? Really?
Yes and this year we shall bypass security in order to add a big bloated easy button in the upper left-hand corner of all of our windows! Oh, look, 7 spock impersonators just left engineering AND sales are up! I knew this was a good idea.
No, it's not sad at all, a little humbling, but it's not really sad. I'm an amateur archivalist, so despite what the article says, I think you can reboot society with far less storage requirements. Originally, I felt that culture would be in flux in any situation where such an archive would be necessary, but my Myspace friends list is a manual interpretation of the trust metric used for Advogato. On Myspace a false positive is called a pretty Nicki, a normal kid on Michael Jackson's friend list. Essentially, her popularity is completely derived from that association. So, by taking the top friends of verified cultural icons, you form a veritable who's who of Myspace, something you can do with the rest of the Internet once you understand the trust metric concept.

I have Linux From Scratch on my Dell Inspiron 1545, the CD needs hammered into place, i have moved source code into the new system, i had trouble copying files to my vfat thumb drive from OBSD, so I used my Mac at work and gave my coworker a list of systems that will help with a command line server, stuff like screen, told him to look for a cli version of pidgin, email, browser, mc, etc. OBSD runs my desktop development environment, including selected bits from gutenberg, tldp, ocw.mit.edu, OBSD documentation, All RFCs, I don't have DMOZ, nor wikipedia, but the LFS system is not complete so there you go. OBSD runs black box, imagemagick, lynx, vlc, xpdf, python 2, wxpython, and some of the above options. Open BSD is chosen for it's stability and lfs for it's flexibility. They compliment each other well. and my desktop is clearly transferable to LFS and vice versa.
I also have the long now foundations rosetta disk http://blog.longnow.org/2008/11/03/macro-to-micro-etching/ on dvd. My friend's list on myspace is an approximation of advogato's trust metric that verifies cultural significance within that web site (it's old right now, almost a photograph, but significant). On my book shelf I have the ashley book of knots and the CRC handbook of chemistry and physics.
I have all of the presidential addresses as well as the us constitution. In a way, in a zombie apocalypse, I carry the sum total of human knowledge as available online.
trains would be way easier to secure. hell it's difficult to not justify a safety feature where cars can be locked by security. Both guns and guards are a bit more acceptable as well. Plus, you can't just fly a train into a building either. trains are objectively more secure and a less valuable asset for terrorists. Plus, improving infrastructure is always in the interest of national defense.
Hehe, no, what he's saying is that the A+ Certification, in fact, most first level certifications are filled with stuff engineers thought normal people could do and they still tell normal people they can do it, but all added together - everything the engineers thought you could do adds up to too much very quickly.
Incidentally, we've had this turned off on XP at work for some time.
They have a point considering that the goal of DDOS is to bring the network down, the article stinks, because it does not offer an alternative to ripping your firewall out.
The conclusion from the pdf says:
"Inter-domain traceback and attack mitigation mechanisms need to be deployed ubiquitously across the Internet, and primary option mitigation solutions must provide more capabilities than simply completing an attack for an attacker."
Which, is a great deal more sensible than "shut your firewalls off"

I still need to write a package manager though.
I'm thinking this article should have been "Obama seeks to solve traveling salesman problem with cross-country high speed rail."

This is Samsung's method for targeting slashdot.
1. Put the engineers in charge of marketing for a day.
2. Have someone assess the marketing value of the mess and write an article.
3. Submit said article to slashdot.
4. ???
5. Profit!!
6. Laugh maniacally as you patent a business method for bypassing adblock via social engineering and interdisciplinary cross-training.
Nope, you need mice for that.
So, I found the source material, the article is poorly written - maybe plagiarized.
