Then you use command-option-shift-f3-tab to get the 4th mouse click or you do like everyone else and go buy a new mouse.:) But I have yet to figure out why Apple doesnt @ least include a 2 button mouse. Seesh...
The whole reason for the law suit was when Apple 1st started marketing OS X the specificly stated that the G3's would be totaly supported. Well some where along the way they didnt follow through with the statment. Because of that alot of G3 owners bought X and ALOT of them have/had problems getting to run. I use a G3/333, the last Beige G3 made. I got X installed and running, but it's slow compared to 9. I personaly enjoy using X better than 9 and I dont miss the DVD stuff and such. I never expected my old Mac to do DVD stuff.
Yes that is true that they can see the cell id on the switch record, but that will only give the persons a general idea where you are since a cell tower can cover a max of 15 miles from the tower. With triangulation you have three towers locked onto your cell phone and using a bit of math they can determine where you are w/ in feet.
If it ever needs more storage capacity, it just has to slap on as many extra modules as it needs. And they don't have to stay in the same room; they can be put anywhere, just as long as they are connected to the university network via Gigabit Ethernet. This way, you can have a redundant architecture to ensure that your longer-term backups remain safe and secure.
In the Article it was mentioned that the backup modules can be located any where you can get a connection to the network. So in theory you could locate modules in different locations so if a fire was to happen in one location then the other locations would not be affected. Since the modules would be located on the local LAN then you wouldnt have to worry about the bandwidth costs.
I agree that some of the speed measurements are coming from road sensors, but the majority are coming from sensors that read the Toll Tag transponders. As you are driving down the freeway if you know where to look on the overhead exit signs you can see the readers. One one particual freeway here that space is limited you can see polls w/ the antenna's, one pointing to each lane. I'm pretty sure the majorty of the measurements are coming from the toll tag transponders though.
We have had this going on for a long time. They dont come right out and say they are using the toll tags for that purpose, but you know it's being done when you look at a site like this: Houston Traffic Map. It is pretty cool though. You can look at the map and see what roads are moving and which ones are not and during rush hours most of em arent.
Well I guess my favorite (since I'm a hardware guy) would have to be the Pentum 1 F00F bug. When that instruction was issued to the Processor it would lockup tighter than a drum.:) If you are bored you can go here to find out more about it.
In our office we use Legato Networker . When a backup kicks off it runs in a minimized window. If you want more details you can expand the window and see what the software is doing. On my system the inital backup took about an hour for 2 gigs worth of data and that was compressed to about 431 megs according to the detailed logs. Subsequent backups take about 5 min or so, but that does depend on how much has changed and when the last time I did a backup. To restore files I go to the restore pane and it shows me, in an explorer style window, my files. I find what I want to restore and then drag and drop them. The software is very simple to use for end users and backup times are configureable. Out of other backup methods I have seen this is the best.

"You may be unable to eject certain copy-protected audio discs, which resemble Compact Discs (CD) but technically are not. Some computers start up to a gray screen after a copy protected disc has been left in the computer."
I work on computer system for the Industrial sector. The systems I work on control petrochem plants and refinery. These applications are very critical because if the systems fail then a plant could blow up and no I'm not joking.
In most of our applications we currently use Windows NT. The reason for using NT is that it is a pretty stable platform, as far as Microsoft goes, and for security it is great.
The Networks for the systems are totally isolated. The only connection to the outside world might be a router that is really locked down that only allows certain 'safe' machines to get through. Most of the time these machines are used to back up the data or to pull data out for historical or corp use.
That being said I would defiantly look at redundant systems. Basically a system that keeps a copy of what is going on in the master machine so if it does crash the backup and take over. This can also be applied to the GPS. Have redundant GPS setups and have the antenna located in two different locations.
As for the Software, restrict the access to the machine to ONLY the people that need to use it. Setup NT to be a captured account and restrict that account so no one can do any installations unless they can login as an admin. That way you don't have Joe hand coming in and installing his new game to give it a play and in the process overwriting a critical.dll that crash's the applications that is running the ships systems.
Also the standard antivirus software. It still amazes me how many people do not run antivirus software on there servers. All it takes is one person not paying attention to pop in a diskette and bam ur infected. This is defiantly not good for a critical system.
So in summary:
- Lock down the systems to allow ONLY those ppl access that need it
- Redundancy, Redundancy, and Redundancy
- Last, Antivirus software to catch those ones that might slip through.
How can one make a zone wireless free? From the article it seems that they are worried about the radio emissions from radio and other devices. Just because they have that small area where no cell phone towers exist, it doesn't mean that there are no radio waves in the area. If humans could see the radio waves it would totally freak us out since there is SO much out there. Just think of how many waves are out there just for your local TV and radio stations.
As the subject say's I pretty much do a standard 40 hour work week. We run from 8 - 5 w/ an hour for lunch. Last year I had about 55 hours of OT total.
I work in the Industrial sector. The Industrial sector is always behind the commercial/residential sectors in the way of technology. We are just now starting to use Remote Access technology. In our specific application we use PCAnywhere.
PCAnywhere in our situation is great. Let me give one example. I am at customer x's site doing a software upgrade on one of there servers. The upgrade "wizard" appears to complete successfully, but on the start of the application it appears that that the database was not imported after the upgrade. So I do a manual import of the database that was saved earlier. All seems to go well, but after a few more checks there are some pieces of the software that are not working. So you go through all your normal tricks and nothing works.
Finally you have to call tech support to figure out what in the heck is going on. Instead on having them talk through what is going on, you hook up the modem and let them dial in via PCAnywhere and see for themselves.
As tech support pokes around looking through the registry and some of parts of the app nothing seems to be to bad. They try some of their tricks, but nothing works. Finally tech support decides to remove the app and reinstall it. Remember this is all being done remotely.
Tech Support totally removes the app, including all of the registry entries and every other trace of the program. Then proceeds to reinstall it.
This previous scenario happened to me. If tech support wasn't able to dial in and figure out what was going on then, it would of been a REALLLY long phone call with a lot of "what did you say", "where is that", and "it didn't do what you said".
So the ability to dial into a system is a great option to have, but personally I wouldn't want someone dialing into my personal system poking around.
I live in Houston, Tx and I used to live in Dallas. I've been dialing 10 digits for 5 years now. So what you dial 3 extra numbers. You can easly tell if it's long distance if you put the 1 before the # ie... 1-123-456-7890.
The company I work for we can page/call our boss as the situtation needs. If we are out on a tech support call and we run into some old ass equipment that one one else know sept him then, beep beep beep beep goes his pager.:)
Every now and then I will have to pass the call of to another group in our building. If I can not get ahold of them I will page there boss. Bascily if we can handle it then we do. When we need help our boss would rather that we call him for help instead of floundering around and possibly shutting down one of our customers.
The company I work for we support Industrial customers ie... petro chem plants and such. We have a 24/7 oncall service. Currently the pager, which is active from 5P till 8A, gets passed around the group about once every 5 - 6 weeks. We hold it for 7 days. While we are holding it we do not get a dime. If the pager goes off and we can help the customer over the phone we dont get anything. If we do have to go out to the customer site then it is over time (double time on Sun. and Holidays) with a min of 4 hours. On average the pager goes off one to two times a week. Most of the time when the pager goes off it does result in us having to go to the customer site to resolve the problem they are having.
So bascily during the week that we hold it if the pager goes off and we go out then we get OT or DT. If it does not then we don't get anything.
Of course you have to remember that they are not bugs anymore. They are ether random or undocumented features.:)
Why any one would want to use Win2000 is beyond me. If you want a "industrial/comerical" windows OS then use WinNT. If you want a home pc that will run all of your favorite games then get a machine w/ Win98 on it.
