Sounds like "The Office" ?

On: The Management Secrets of T. John Dick

This is almost exactly like the office, in tone, if not setting.

"The Office" is a UK series that's won loads of the biggest awards, and is, I guess, something yet to make it over to the US on masse.

When it does, I think it'll be the next "Fawlty Towers"....

CISSP book.....

On: Getting Started in Network Security?

A CISSP book (and maybe a copy of ISO17799) should cover everything you should need to know.

The rest is just details, which you should endevour to become an expert in as/when needed.

(PS. A good CISSP book is >500 pages)

George Bush read this....

On: DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn?

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. - Theodore Roosevelt(1918)

This is way out of order.

On: DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn?

OpenBSDs advances to security are generally propagated into other BSDs and sometimes even other OSes.

Can we say openSSH (how many installed copies? millions?) and OpenSSL (heeelllloo? Where would E-commerce be without it? still in the land of "fax your order here" me thinks :-(

The US gov need to understand that if they want tighter IT security in the US (so BinLaden doesnt "Start->Shutdown" Wall Street) they need to fund grass-roots development, the kind that the big companies like IBM, Sun and Dell then take up and propagate to the masses.

Three cheers for Theo - Hip! Hip!

Isn't ?DSL usually a contended service?

On: ADSL Bandwidth Aggregation w/ Multiple Accounts?

(as it is in the UK for cable and A/RDSL?

Which means both your lines are going to be sharing the bandwidth, like you do with the rest of the street.

So you can only do what you're trying to do if:
You can get uncontended lines, e.g. lines of different DSLAMs, or one ADSL, one cable, etc.
