USA (who invented the net) Umm, I would rather say that the US (actually DARPA) founded the Net, and back then it wasn't anything like it was now, they didn't even have IP, let alone TCP/IP. Since those early days the development of the Internet has been a multi-national collaborative effort.
You mean like Alt roots? or a complete seperate network without any interconnections between the two?
The whole point of the Internet was to interconnect systems.
On a more general note, are any other non-american slashdotters noticing a rather alarming number of questionable political posts on this site recently?
Us non-americans might need to go get ourselves our own slash site too.:-)
From an infrastructure perspective it would be better to be able to traceroute a site in Australia/Asia from Europe and not have it go trans-atlantic / trans-america / trans-pacific to get to it's destination.
Russia, Iran and places like that could help a lot in that regard.
It doesnt mean much, I help manage a couple of protected international circuits in Europe and can categorically say that they do not appear on this map.
Also this map shows interconnectivity which I presume is at a Layer 3 level, does not account for tunnelled interfaces, or physical interconnectivity such as SDH/Sonet networks of ADMs.
If I go with open source my [insert vendor name here] won't take me out for expensive 'business' lunches and golf days anymore. Oh and I might have to give the Yacht back...

The statement "one is the question as to whether or not the Linux development model is working"
is ill thought.
The Linux development model is directly based up evolutionary theory - if it fails it will die, something else will take it's place.
Those are the only two types of users? It's shocking that none of the IT pros here have copped to a computer problem that might actually be their fault. Sometimes things break not at the fault of a user. But even more so, why complain or get annoyed when a user does screw up a computer? It's why you're there in the first place. Actually I am quite quick to admit my own mistakes, a few months ago I misconfigured the load balancing pool for one of our websites and users started seeing the test website. I was the first to put my hands up and admit fault.
Had, as is often the case, I been working for a company where IT are looking over their shoulder worrying about their job (Yes, the usual IT doesn't make any revenue, just cost) then I may have denied any knowledge of the problem and blamed the fault on the load balancer.
And no, I wasn't providing an exhaustive list of user stereotypes, just a couple of examples, which I am sure any seasoned IT professional has encountered during their career.
Users have just as much contempt for IT as IT has comtempt for the user.
Nevertheless, IT continue to solve the user's issues, because of their professional attitude.
What I tend to dislike is the fact that a user with 3 computers at home, running their own local network, with shared Internet access and wireless connectivity to their laptop, DHCP, DNS, network printing etc... all of a sudden turns into a blatant IT fool the minute that they walk into the office. Just because there is an IT department they continue to be high maintenance, refuse to acknowledge problems and generally make things worse.
Then again, there's the other type, the genuine clueless user who thinks that they know what they're doing, but doesn't - you know the type, the ones you never should have given local administrative privileges on their own machines.
In my opinion the way to discourage this divide in your company it to have the IT department take each of the other departments out for lunch, say once a month - the relaxed environment in the absence of IT equipment and their problems aids the communication between the departments and generates an understanding of what IT is actually doing (Similarly IT get an understanding of what Finance, Sales, Marketing etc... do for the company as well).
But as someone already wrote in an earlier post: Set your servers to use NTP, either from your local nameservers or from *.pool.ntp.org and have it automatically adjust for DST. And as someone corrected them - NTP servers give out standard time and the local system adjusts it to the local timezone, whatever that is set to.
Some airlines only allow you to do Online Check-in by confirming your identity with your credit card number. Some express-check-in's require you to either insert your credit card to get your boarding pass printed (or your frequent flyer card). If I want better fares by booking online I will have to use a credit card too, not seen any airlines accept Paypal etc...
In short it seems that to take advantage of any fast-track system that saves on man-power and hassle for both the customer or airline I now have to give up my life's credit history.
Actually, Gibraltar was recently blocked by Wikipedia in the same way and this has nothing to do with transparent proxies (GibTelecom do not use Transparent Proxies for their corporate flexiband links on which I came across this same problem recently). Trust me - I know a fair bit about transparent proxies.

I can't speak for HP India, but as an IT consultant who keeps Exchange running for a lot of large firms I can tell you that Exchange isn't as insecure as some of the FUD here would have you believe. By default, Domain Admins are EXPLICITLY DENIED rights to users mailboxes. If you grant yourself those rights, it will be logged. For that matter, even the Exchange Administrator account is set default deny when it comes to reading other people's emails. Unfortunately, in most organisations this configuration is usually reversed so that at least one account (quite often, whose password is known by more than one person) has the right to read emails.
The problem is that you always get the support request that "So and so has received an email and I need to read it, because so and so is not available, on a plane etc..."
The problem with just adding yourself temporarily to the permissions when the support request comes in is that you seem to also have to either wait a couple of hours for the mailbox to allow the access, or restart the Information Store on the server (which disconnects all the clients from the server).
Existing domains such as xyz.com can automatically get their xyz.com.mail domain.
When they get their domain they get a signing certificate which allows them to create as many email authenticating certificates as they need for their domain.
However, in order to get the certificate they would need to authenticate themselves in the real world.
All internet mail moves to an authenticated / encrypted system and anyone caught spamming with one of these domains goes into a certificate revocation list.
OK, it's more or less Email V2, but it might be more spam proof, no?
If you're going to have a campaign day for something, don't announce it 30 minutes before the end of the day (I'm one hour ahead of the Parent Poster).
Interesting, I think ridding yourself of the problem by bringing in a third-party operator probably wouldn't resolve the issues that the students have, but it might shift it to being their problem.
Slightly offtopic, when I was at Uni in 1991 (Warwick, UK) the department of computer services, CSV, had a similar issue with what would now be called "chat rooms" (I personally believe that this was where Internet chat was invented), although the problem was that the chat servers were being hosted I guess 'illegally' on workstations there are some parallels as to what is supported and what isn't. (Also notable is that this is before anyone ever used NAT, and the idea of the stateful firewall was yet to reach the mainstream, as such all systems on the University network were freely accessible on all ports from the entire Internet. This was however, before that fateful AOL day, so the entire Internet was still mostly high-level academia)
The whole saga is all recounted on Cheeseplants website and it's funny to note how new protocol's and internet functions can be impeded from proliferation, but seldom stopped and that we continue to try to impede these technologies to this today.

So, basically, you are wrong.
You mean like Alt roots? or a complete seperate network without any interconnections between the two?

That's a rather sick video anyway, that crash was almost certainly fatal, and any interest in viewing it is pretty mis-appropriated.

By saying that you obviously won't be taking on jury service, ever.
The problem is that you always get the support request that "So and so has received an email and I need to read it, because so and so is not available, on a plane etc..."

How about a new TLD - .mail
Existing domains such as xyz.com can automatically get their xyz.com.mail domain.
When they get their domain they get a signing certificate which allows them to create as many email authenticating certificates as they need for their domain.

All internet mail moves to an authenticated / encrypted system and anyone caught spamming with one of these domains goes into a certificate revocation list.
OK, it's more or less Email V2, but it might be more spam proof, no?
And it would work with existing email servers.
we are not amused
police investigating a series of murders are taking an "incitement to hatred" tack.
Hundred's of people called "Adam" have apparently been drowned by having their heads plunged into water coolers in offices around Australia.
Detective Ron Steele mentioned:
"It's either an incredible statistical anomaly, or we have a even more incredibly prolific serial attacker in our midst!".
The killer left no clues, except this, the only connecting factor in this attack has been this sign, carefully placed by each water cooler.
Quite.
