I was speaking in relativistic terms. Neither has the military sophistication of the USA. They're looking to put a man on the moon, IN A FEW YEARS. The US is the only country to have achieved that feat...and we did it in the 70s. And Yes, they are still 'developing countries'. So is the united states. ALL countries are 'developing'.
If your power supply can't handle booting, it needs to be upgraded! That's like always having to have someone around to jump your car...it means something is underpowered and not working right. You might wanna try DUAL power supplies, instead of one MEGA power supply...it's how we support 12+ Ultra3 SCSI drives in one box in all of our servers;)

In fact, to some countries, sacrificing millions upon millions of dollars worth machines, against like forces would be a gigantic sacrifice. Not to mention fighting against a country like China or India, that has billions of 'expendable' people, but little in the way of technological or military sophistication.
The other part of this 'drone war' to consider...territory wars will be even LESS likely - "My countries bots killed your countries bots, so we get to annex this 100sq miles of your country. No? But my bots WON! You/have/ to give it to me?" Could you imagine such a war, realistically? Who would win? It would have to come to human casualities eventually...no matter the tech level of the agressor or the defendant.
That makes a big difference. HP NetVectra's and a bunch of Wyse WinTerm's support RDP, ICA, and telnet (and ssh). I think HP's higher end models may even do X sessions. It's not hard to find them at all....
Then again, you could just get Citrix for Unix, and not worry about a thing (which maybe be in your best interests in a larger environment...)
Why not just have the clients send 'keep alives' every 20 seconds or so? And I'd definitely suggest using some of the above mentioned hardware TCP limiters.....
Guess what powers Yahoo? Novell eDirectory (LDAP). Novell doesn't do much marketing, and they admittedly haven't been 'gaining' much market share, but they have some die hard fans, and some of those fans are BIG business. It's because LDAP makes a network so much easier to run. eDirectory provides a convient way to manage EVERYTHING on your network. And it supports multiple platforms!
eDirectory (formerly NDS) by Novell...is fully LDAP compliant, and comes with a whole bunch of tools and stuff of that nature. And it even runs on Linux / Solaris / AIX / Tru64 / Netware and NT! It's not 'open source', but it can be free as in beer for developers. So far, it's been remarkably stable and easy to use on Linux.
It's possible to run everything in RAM (just use memfs's), and to run without a swap, but should a runaway process or memory leak get you with no swap, your machine is as good as dead;) As far as the power conversion...such conversion smooths the line noise out of the current, giving cleaner, steadier power to vital internals.
I thought that was what the 1918 addresses are for? We use a whole crapload of them (10.*s, 172.16.*, 192.168.*) for both internal/external segregation, as well as additional 'real VLANs'...for example, seperating our storage networks (192.168.10.0) from our 'normal PC net' (10.48.0.0). It works wonderfully!
Seeing as how the date on the page says January 14th...which is next week here in the states. But then again, Canadia is always trying to be different!
The BSA, being a commercial entity cannot REQUIRE you to pay for an audit. They can merely request it. If you refuse, they can seek refuge in a costly lawsuit, but even then, you don't have to PROVE you have no commercial software, they have to PROVE you DO have it, and that it is not licensed. Remeber, burden of proof rests with the accuser, not the accused.
Yet Russ Cooper posted this exploit AND links to the code earlier this morning to NTBugTraq. If they are so irresponsible, then why didn't he edit/moderate the content they submitted?
IF you could stop looking at things as 'being consumed by the evil empire' ANY time Microsoft is mentioned, and actually checked out the technical merits of what they have and are attempting to do, you'd realize (as Miguel does) that (everyonce in a while) Microsoft actually has GOOD ideas for things. Yes we may hate their business practices, and curse their software for being unstable, but who is playing catch up to who in desktop usability and business applications? By writing Mono, Linux INSTANTLY joins Windows on the.NET front, because apps can now be written for either. It's the promise of java and the 'Network Computer' / distributed app from back in the olden days. Only now, MS is behind it, so you can be sure it will go somewhere (whether the world wants it to or not;).
If I don't seat my CPU properly, it smokes, maybe chokes me a little, and if it's an Athlon, possibly even catches fire;). If I don't seat/attach my brake lines properly, my 2 ton vehicle might not stop and going plowing thru some other 2 ton vehicle, potentially hurting everyone inside both. Car's can be very very dangerous, while computers are only moderately so (aside from the occasional mains power jolt....but that's what we live for right?:).
By 'CS' books, he probably means books like 'Learning Perl' or 'Sed/Awk', or *gasp* 'Linux for Dummies'...not Knuth, or things of the 'theoritical' nature of computing science. Many people take 'cs' as 'computers' and 'technology', instead of an actual Mathematical Science.
You are not forced to use ActiveX in VB. It's a DLL compile option. If that gives you trouble, I seriously recommend getting a book on VB (it will at least explain the IDE and it's various options)...
Work at home licenses for MS products are now required to be purchased seperately. Starting with 'XP' and 2K Core Cals, you no longer get the wonderful 'copy at home and copy at work'...you have to pay for each seperately.
Funny you should mention rock droppings. Robert Heinlin's novel 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' is basically exactly what you've just talked about. Another very good, possibly accurate vision of the future?
It hit my front page;) I guess when you're just an AC, you can't get all the neat custom slashboxes and story choices (being free from JonKatz is nice sometimes)!

Sun's been doing the 64 bit thing for a while (Not being a Sun expert), at least 4 years. UltraSparc 5s (at least) have a 64 bit CPU, and supposedly the new UltraSparc IIIcu's will be whopping the pants off of anything Intel has wet dreams about making;)

What unused DC? Mine is always on - Soul Caliber 2, Marvel vs. SNK, Marvel vs. Capcom. DC is the best 1 on 1 fighting platform ever!

I realize that, but we didn't even get a f13t p05t! comment in 25 minutes!
Judging by the total lack of commentary, even from this crowd, that's probably a resounding 'no'? :)
