Check out 802.1x. Most modern switching gear supports it and some of the newer stuff even allows you to do dynamic policy enforcement (ACL's, rate limiting, etc.) based on group membership. It's much more scaleable and flexible than MAC-based authentication.
I don't know if that's a particularly good analogy. Many people would suggest that Pepsi actually increased their market share and surpassed Coke, if only briefly, in the mid 1980s. I would assert that Pepsi made some major gains due to the marketing efforts like the Pepsi Challenge.
I think an interesting question would be what will be Microsoft's equivalent of "New Coke".
I was looking for something similar that was Open Source or Linux based. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything to my liking.
I settled on PaperPort for Windows. It allows a folder hierarchy to organized your scanned documents that can be altered to your liking. In addition, you can use the application's basic OCR capability to search the contents of all your documents. The previous version, PaperPort 8, used a proprietary file format. But the new version, PaperPort 9, has changed the default file format to PDF. I'm happy with it, and it reduced the mountain of papers on my desk to a small, manageable pile.
There was a very interesting Nova episode about the race between the Concorde, Boeing SST, and TU-144, derisively nicknamed Konkordski by the West.
There is also amazing footage in the episode of a TU-144 crashing at the 1973 Paris Air Show. "Six Soviet crew members and eight French citizens died. One little boy playing in front of his home was decapitated by a piece of flying debris. Two other children were also killed. Sixty people were seriously injured and fifteen houses totally destroyed." A French Mirage jet, secretly following the TU-144 to take photographs, was later blamed for the crash.

There were a fair amount of other applications for Alpha-based NT boxes. If I remember correctly, MS SQL and Exchange both supported the Alpha platform. There also was a wide variety of other applications, from PTC's Pro/ENGINEER to the accounting package Great Plains Dynamics, that also supported the Windows NT Alpha platform. Microsoft even had Alpha native versions of Word and Excel 97.
Even if there was no native Alpha application, you could still install and run most x86 applications using DEC's FX!32 x86 emulator. It ran at about half the speed. But this is when DEC had 1 GHz Alphas -- about five years ago! The fastest processor from Intel was only about half that.
Having a dual-boot Alpha with NT and Digital UNIX was a real treat!
You may want to take a look at the Finisar Century Tap. There used to be a lot of information on the taps on the website when they were made by Shotmiti. Once Shomiti was bought by Finisar, a lot of the information disappeared. The tap allows you to "tap in" to a link. I have one installed between the firewall and switch. I use two interfaces, one is on the inside network for management, and the is connected to the tap in promiscuous mode without an IP address. The tap is pretty much invisible.
Here is a PDF showing how to setup the tap with your Snort sensor. The only problem is the tap is really overpriced -- about $500. But, making a custom cable is a PITA.
That 802.11b card from D-Link does work well. But, last time I tried I couldn't get WEP to work with the Linux drivers. It also is only a 802.11b card. The new 802.11a cards operate at a different frequency and a much higher speed.
I just picked one of these babies up. It's an outstanding case. Well laid out, very light, tons of room to expand, and well finished to top it off. It also has excellent air flow.
The only negative about the PC-60 USB is the price. It's about $150 without a power supply.
Here is a nice review with a bunch pictures: http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl ?sid=01/08/ 29/0422237
In accordance to the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) the Feds have the capability to tap 1 % of all phone calls in major US cities remotely.

The filter is just part of a multi-tiered approach.
You are right, your overall strategy has to include securing your end-users mail clients. You need to use a combination of filtering, scanning and security updates among other things.
The Procmail Sanitizer works much the same way, and it's customizable, configurable, and free. It's excellent.

The Washington Post did not provide any additional evidence that Windows XP has been altered, just the ratings of some terrorist suspect in India, whose motives must be questioned
You would think that the Post would do a little investigating on their own to determine the validity of the claim. You have to question the source in this case.

This can be done for both wired and wireless networks, as described in this Microsoft article. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/topics/
Client support exists for Windows, Mac OS, and *nix. It can take a while to get setup, but it's worth it.

Check out Tarantella . Similar to Citrix MetaFrame, but less expensive, and runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX.

Have you checked out Resident Evil for the Gamecube yet?
One word: Awesome.
What difference does it make what platform it runs on? Just compile it for whatever you have on hand.
ISS offers the source code for "altivore" a "feature complete version of Carnivore". It gives you a pretty good idea of how it works.

Here it is from the manufacturer. The Virtually Indestructible Keyboard
Not true. Check out Tarantella Enterprise.
You are right about Portsmouth being expensive.
The housing market is one of the most expensive in the United States.
Isn't fragmentation beneficial on a RAID array? Wouldn't the file be distributed over multiple disk spindles?
I would guess that having files in contiguous areas of the physical disks would be disadvantagous.
Suck it Trebek!
I don't understand why there is such an outcry here whenever an ISP proposes changing customers' mail clients to webmail.
It allows the ISP to reduce their support costs for two obvious reasons I see:
-Easier mail client to walk the "AOL crowd" through
-Webmail is less vulnerable to viruses designed for Outlook/Outlook Express
It also allows customers to view email from anywhere.
If you really need POP3 access, find a friendly local ISP and pay a few bucks extra a month.

And, I wonder if they will even be able to get many states to give up their databses?
That's easy, your state doesn't give the Feds access to your databases, the Federal Highway Adminstration stops sending them checks.

Pretty shoddy journalism if you ask me.
