Actually, most of us with jobs already have "decent" health care at a "reasonable cost." Why is it unreasonable to expect to have to pay something in return for some type of service?
Don't be like Susan Sarandon, saying "we (translation: you) should be building schools in Mexico." Be like Oprah, and build yourself a school wherever the hell you want, with your own money.
The left always has plenty of great ideas for what could be done with other people's money. Your "right" to health care ends where my "right" to property begins. Guess which one is genuine, and which is based in some overinflated sense of entitlement?
That's your big dig on Cisco? An article from 2005?
Cisco's IOS is proprietary, and designed from the ground up for this type of task. If you're anti-Cisco for some reason, there are plenty of other vendors that make similar equipment. If the original poster's project is anything but an interesting experiment, it's worth using the right equipment.
It is actually more secure, in that it supports encryption (if you enable it). Currently, it's only single DES encryption, but efforts within the standards community are looking to add support for 3DES and AES.
In the interim, however, you can always use IPSEC to provide the security that SNMP lacks, providing your equipment supports it.
On the NMS front, there are a number of platforms that support SNMPv3. NetCool and Spectrum as a couple of examples, and Concorde will have it by 3rd Q this year.
It made it the same way all stories find their way to the front page of Slashdot... Usually about 24 to 48 hours after a story appears on Digg, it shows up here. It's almost magical.
Or worse, the guys who are six years into it, they've got their whole self esteem invested in getting those four letters after their names, and they just don't have what it takes. Its sad to see.
It doesn't make me sad... I like the fact that most people that claim to be working on their CCIE are never going to finish it. And if you get over the hurdle, you're going to feel the same way.
My first attempt was the two-day exam... Believe me when I tell you that it was easier that the current exam.
You used to get points for cabling, and doing the basic IP addressing tasks. You also had fewer "non-core" topics to configure, so as to make time for the troubleshooting section (afternoon of day two).
Now it's 8 hours to do what used to take 13, and there are no freebie cabling and addressing points.
[snip] Set up a complex site with several (~5 or so) as 10.0.8.0/29 for example. That would give a site 8 Class C ranges to play with, and it's great for route sumarization...
Oh dear...
By my math, 10.0.8.0/29 would yield a subnet with a mere 8 addresses (10.0.8.0 - 10.0.8.7, with 6 usable for hosts). A/21 would give the result you were trying to achieve. Your bit-shifting was correct, but you started in the wrong octet. Back to "Lesson Two" with you...
(Yes, you probably know how to subnet, but if you're going to play the haughty networking expert, you'd better have it right before hitting 'submit'.)
They are but temporary placeholders that reflect our collective understanding of a specific topic.
For a long time, it was a fact that the world was flat, that the Sun and planets revolved around the Earth, and that the Atom was the smallest unit of matter.
As our understanding of the world around us changed, so too did all of these irrefutable facts. It is hubris to believe that things we consider to be factual today could not possibly be in opposition to what we will understand tomorrow.
To any but a knee-jerk anti-Busher, this account has the air of authenticity. Like so many things, we'll probably never know for certain all of the details, but this is what I believe happened.
Some agencies seem to be able to manage secure thanselves without cutting themselves of from the world. From TFA, "The National Science Foundation and the General Services Administration each saw their scores rise from a C-plus in 2004 to an A last year. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Labor earned A-plus grades in 2005, up from B and B-minus respectively."
You obviously don't understand what this OMB report is all about... It's a report card on FISMA compliance, not on the level of Security inherent to the environment at any of those Agencies.
This was an auditing exercise... Not a Systems Penetration test.
The Agencies you cite from the article (NSF, GSA, EPA, and Dept. of Labor) have only demonstrated their ability to contend with the paper tiger of FISMA compliance, which is, frankly, what I'd expect from a bunch of pencil pushers and petty buearocrats of the type you'd find at any of those agencies.
I'm not defending DHS. They should be doing a better job, but as a previous poster accurately pointed out, this is not a 3-year old Department built from scratch. This is a conglomeration of 22 federal agencies that each had historical ties to other Departments until 3 years ago, and they are now in the midst of the largest "Corporate Merger" in history. If you don't think it takes some time to get your arms around something like that, I'd like to see you give it a try.
Maybe I'm missing something... I thought I had a pretty firm grasp on how DNS works.
If China creates it's own ROOT servers, which contain forwarding information for the.{chinese-character-for-com} namespace, and another forwarder for.com (in english) namespace, aren't we talking about two distinct and seperate namespaces?
How does this break anything? It doesn't as far as I'm concerned. Someone tell me different, and if I get a bunch of doublespeak, I'll just call Cricket. (I'm dead serious.)
Perhaps more importantly, if the Chinese decided to sever their connectivity to the outside world (and with the Great Firewall, they've had that ability all along), how does this hurt the rest of the world?
China is a manufacturer, and an exporter. Insulating themselves from the global buyers hurts them, not us. We'll just have to get our paper drink umbrellas (and other cheaply made consumable crap) from someplace else. Wal-mart will be harmed a little while they forge new relationships with Taiwan, the Phillipines, Korea, and Maylasia... Barely a blip on the radar.
Last I heard, Tivos still used a proprietary video format unplayable on anything but the Tivo.
Not true. Tivo adds a proprietary wrapper to an ordinary MPEG2 files for storage on the hard drive. This wrapper can be peeled off quite easily leaving a standard MPEG2 file.
Additionally, the new version of the Tivo To Go software has options to reformat the stored video to be transferred to an iPod or PSP.
If the drug is effective (and I sincerely hope that it is), and some bizarre conspiracy involving Bush and the FDA were to prevent it from coming to market, do you really think that the patent owners and their current licensee wouldn't simply turn to some non-US third party entity to manufacture and markey the drug?
Please...
Regardless of what you think about Bush, at least concede that he'd rather it were American companies making the huge profits off drug research and development.
If you've got a good salary, and good benefits, stay where you are while you search for an opportunity that can provide you with the kind of environment that you're after without having to sacrifice your current standard of living.
It's not 2002 anymore... You can have a job that you like, and get paid well for it.
Actually, it's a great idea because in addition to selling more PS3s, it also sells more PSPs.
Streaming content from the PS3 to the PSP is a killer app.
If it's a fully funtioned at the existing Location Free player, you don't even need the PS3 to perform the PVR functions. It can just front-end an existing Tivo. This platform looks to be the living room convergence box that we've all been hearing about for so long...

Actually, your Digital Restrictions Management would be truth in advertising. Unfortunately, DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, which sounds far more benign than it really is...
Lumenes and Mercury are good puzzlers... I've been very pleased with Star Wars Battlefront II, and Infected is a great multiplayer FPS (with Internet matchups, or Ad-hoc play). Wipeout Pure is pretty good. Ridge Racer is great. I've not started the new X-men game, but it's sitting here next to me...
I'm not a 'gamer' per se... I rarely stick with a game till I've beaten it, and I typically end up with only about a dozen titles for whatever system I happen to own.
Mostly, I like the PSP for all if the other things it does. Couple it with Location Free (Sony's version of the Slingbox), and you've got a killer mobile media solution.

I've lived in the US my whole life, and I've been paying taxes for the past 20 years!
I can refuse to pay taxes to support stuff I don't agree with (Without going to jail, or having my assets seized...)!? Tell me more!
Thanks for the reply. I guess external drives are the way to go.
Is there any reason not to simply replace the drive with a larger, faster one? It's just a SATA drive, right?
