Something like Visio: Kivio. It would really be nice to see the community get behind this and create some decent stencils though. The stencils and resulting drawings are in an XML based format. The tool is there, it just needs marketing.
Ah, but you must remember that to the majority of the world, Web = Internet. If you refer to the Internet, most people instantly associate that with the web. Http and https ARE the only protocols available, right?
Who decides what companies participate in this? Why would a private company want to do this? I know I wouldn't want to, unless of course I had no choice. I have never worked directly for a government agency, but I did work for a government contractor on a short term job for the Veterans Benefits Administration. I can definitely see how this could benefit the agencies and their workers, but the private sector exchangees(?) would not really benefit. Other than appreciating their jobs more. My experience with government IT people, at least the ones at the VBA were that most were former military folks with no real training or experience. IOW, grunts that had no war to fight, so hey, give them a 2 week crash course in systems and send them to work. Another thing is this only mentions mid-level executives. These people, especially in government have no technical knowledge whatsoever. They read an article on some technology and think it's great from the hype and demand it be done.
I have to agree with you there. I would consider myself a mature viewer, not necessarily fan, but I honestly have liked all of the Star Wars movies.
I think most of the folks complaining about it are way over analyzing it. It's a movie. It's fun to watch. Quit your complaining and just don't watch it if you don't like where Lucas is going.
And, even more honestly, I LOVED Jar Jar Binks. One of the greatest characters of all the movies thusfar.
To see that Earthlink is concerned about their subscribers privacy. Complete and total privacy, right? Well, at least privacy from any outside organisation, even a law-enforcement office. What they do internally concerning privacy of their subscribers must be their own private business.
They probably used FreeBSD initially on purpose. Then once the word was out in the tech community, they switched. Now then they have a lot of traffic from us geeks checking their headers to show potential converts how many folks are jumping on the site to get info on replacing UNIX. So, we are in essence facilitating them by continuing to check the site.
come with at least a browser of some sort, you should not distribute anything really. Give the user the choice. Create a nice initial site that the new user connects to with links to common software. Also provide a page that gives detailed instructions on how to setup their email client, web browser, etc.
I agree. I have been receiving approximately 50 - 300 emails per day for work and personal reasons for over 4 years now. On average, I receive maybe 5 peices of spam or junk per week. This also includes my hotmail account. So, how is it that so many people get so much spam and some get so little?
Should we feel left out if we are not getting our fair share??:)

Is everyone actually reading the article before posting? I can't believe the story has been up this long with so few comments. :)
Oh damn, I was just waiting for the "and when I emailed him regarding the old strings, he said he was not a guitar center."

Computer security expert Chad Harrington regularly surfs Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
So Mr. Harrington is a hacker himself since he regularly surfs IRC? And who "surfs" IRC anyway?
IRC is a good forum for any groups. Just as mailing lists and newsgroups.
These people that come up with these theories have too much time on their hands.

Yeah. I was just thinking to myself, didn't K5 have this exact "feature" last week sometime?
/. is getting a little behind the times??
