Yea been there done that, Cisco's GUI fits the model well. I do resent the SPOF issue been there done that as well (we were all young and green once). You seem to imply that you can not implemented a tiered, documented work flow without a GUI sorry to tell you but a few standard tools for source control, rancid and a script that's less than a page long and most of that comments works pretty well. It scales out to 40-50 (the entire support and systems departments) people pretty well. Less than a man day invested in putting it together/troubleshooting and it's run for 11 years now with a couple hundred firewalls. Cant say that it would stand up to sox but the PCI auditors don't have a problem with it. Would I implement that same system in a large enterprise today probably not. There are outside company's that make these things now and building things internally that are not for core competency does not make sense. The fact they they are GUI's is part of life the deal with it. But a GUI is not required to make something a good working system or auditable, please do not confuse CLI with a bunch of cowboys fiddling with bits and not documenting.
As apposed to giving the web server a name in the firewall and adding that name to the web server group? Ever admin a few hundred firewalls the GUI's are the slow and error prone not the text interface. The thing people seem to forget is you want the rules on the smallest required set of devices. That nearly universally means 2 as firewalls are required to be network choke points.
Cisco all ready makes a decent GUI app that's pretty well suited to large enterprises. The design assumes large enterprise where your T2 guys suggest changes, and a T3 guy reviewing them (along with the CLI that will actually do the work) and approve them and the system implements them during a work window. It works pretty well for Cisco bits. It's also god awful compared to the speed and flexibility of a script based system, big bubble GUI junk makes MBA's happy.
If your have been run over twice in 4 months your obviously doing something wrong, if it's 30 seconds to the next red light your obviously living in a city I hope by your own choice or that you will get out of that hell hole eventually. That said getting run over every other month leads me to believe there is a problem with how your conducting yourself.
I can use SSH with marginal signal trying to run VNC or similar tech to push a GUI the the phone over the same does not work.. Running a GUI on the phone itself could be fine depends on the design.
The CLI is powerful because it's a CLI, you do not need or want pretty dialog boxes. Help is whats available with man --help usefull errors messages and the contents of/var/log. It works over 9600 baud serial and works pretty well so you can ssh from your smartphone with 1 bar and fix something at 3am before the GUI would have time to come up to a login screen. A good CLI expects things to be piped into and out of it and can get any required information via the command line. The power of the CLI is that you can chain bits together run to do things or wrap scripts around other scripts and do useful work.
You point to a 20 year old book that mostly bitches about how slow/ugly X is, guess what things have come a long way, I run one laptop with native X and it looks good is responsive I export X all the time over ssh to my primary desktops. Take a step back and think why your trying to shoehorn GUI functions onto a CLI if you really need to do it look at some of the toolkits that can detect if there is a X server present and use that fallback to text gui and run entirely headless by pure command line but think long and hard about why you would want to do this.
So your saying you force people to do things your way while riding a bike. Hate to break it to you but your what people dislike about bike riders. Please stop interfering with a safe traffic flow (we need more enforcement of those regs) your slower than everybody else so get out of there way same as a tractor, big truck or my granny. If it's not safe to pass pull over to the curb and stop and let traffic pass you safely. You seem to be somewhat rational and have avoided the bike/prius geen eco peen syndrome but please stop thinking that you can force others to do what you want.
Yes we do via the welfare programs. More importantly allowing unchecked immigration allows for a huge surplus in low end labor. That would push down wages to the minimum levels and push down working conditions as well. The h1b program was a bad idea from the start. Skilled labor does not have a problem getting green cards and unto a citizenship track if they want it. Companies are willing to do what they need to to get these people. In the 80's h1b's did well as the huge difference in wages allowed them to save up enough money in five years to live off the investment income in there home country. I am not sure how well this worked out as many of the home countries have seen drastic changes since then.
The raid controller to get anywhere near the IOPs of this is prohibitive. I run 24 drive software raid 6's in storage servers all the time the cost of the 24 port raid card is more than the server chassis power supply and motherboard add int he fact that having 24 GB of cache does great things as well. With enterprise class drives we loose a drive in one of those chassis every month and a half or so per chassis (36 months average drive lifespan roughly). Conversely I also run a lot of DB's and over the last year we have been using the Intel SSD's only one failed (infant mortality) the hardest problem is getting some form of raid that does not cripple there IOPS.
From what it sounds like PCI did not require that 3rd firewall from your ISP but it could have made there lives a lot easier. PCI is more corp than general fed regulations since it's not from the feds. If your ISP had some certified Platform to run yall through and an insurance plan it makes a lot of sense to use them. From a risk standpoint you now have somebody else to blame / sue if somethings happens and they have an insurance policy to cover those damages. Your effectively buying insurance with an technical bit thrown in and a middle man to take the PR hit.
Lets think about this, carriers love to nickle and dime you to death, hate anything that gets in the way of this, and only wish to allow enough function to sell stuff. The LAST thing the droid needs is the carriers getting involved. All I want from my carrier is fast reliable service. Some of my least technical friends have droids and after a few days of hating them they come to love them.
It's a table saw, this idiot didn't use it properly so he lost a finger. I grew up in a cabinet shop there were no guards, safety devices etc on anything are we all had all of our original digits. At no time while using a table saw would your hands be anywhere near the blade., is using a scrap piece of wood to push with that hard? The most dangerous saw was the skill saw but again very few accidents and they were to mostly thin out the shallow end of the gene pool.
Foss is nice tech is nice but you don't need idiot proof tools you need to train idiots not to hurt themselves.
Um lets see the big exchanges really are not that big generally once you go over x traffic to a certain tier you do a private interconnect exchanges are so that small companies can get into peering and away from transit. They also allow the tier 2 regionals the ability to interconnect.
There are some terrible connections but in the US tl least they are few and far between when your talking about long distance transit.Local loops are pretty ugly but at those low speeds (sub 100mbs) it's not that bad and it's ot like they culd I dnt know put some money into there outside plant every 50 years or so.
Greed there you have it, AT&T does not pay anybody for internet so it's just a question of getting it through there network. Pricing is direct greed I have had prices drop to 2% of initial offer there are not a lot of real costs to go with it the network pretty much costs x to run no matter how fast it goes.
Best non laptop keyboard made is the IBM type m with the touchpoint, it's proportional and in the correct place to not have to move your hand. You change the little rubbery bit every year or so
Yea because we all know how the people that abuse guns respect laws? The problem with various forms of passivity is you need somebody to stick up for you or the one evil guy will take over or kill you. That guy might be the existing government, so effectively there is no perfect method to find somebody to stick up for you except yourself. I can understand that some people are unwilling or unable to do this for themselves but do not suggest that everybody should be required to be as passive as you wish to be.
Now for the flawed comparison it's slashdot after all, if you get rid of all the wolves one sheep will rise up to take there place.
Java makes the binary run on arbitrary cpu's. The issue is mostly with look and feel as well as capabilities. Making an application especially a touch screen app work well at arbitrary screen sizes and resolutions is very hard. As in that the touch pad might support 1 to n touch points simultaneously and the rest of the hardware platform could have all sorts of features everything from a vibrate function to various sensors. Effectively this leads to making lots of cases and work a rounds to get the app to work ok on every device.
Yes they have all sorts of reasons to want to keep things secret, unfortunately keeping things secret does not help a democracy. What you describe is pretty much what politicians love to do cook something up in a back room and then shove it past before people have time to think. That is an attempt to stifle the debate again not something desired in a democracy. If politicians are scared to anger the people they represent that's a good thing, it's there role to do what they believe the people they represent want. They are free to not vote for it.
ACTA looks to be a bad treaty, in my view any treaty trying to make universal copyright laws is a bad one, that's my opinion and I can vote as I see fit related to that. I make a living as a byproduct of copyright, but I do not see any need for any copyright to extend past the creators lifetime (OK a few corner cases involving TV style murders to end a copyright prematurely) and is most cases I do not see a need to extend it past 5 to 10 years.
Oh no you might sue. You have rights when you can get the cop fired and put into jail. The government prints money and they tax you for it they can effectively get as much as they want, they are exempt from many forms of debt collection. Effectively civil courts can not check the powers of governments, especially police forces. You need a criminal court with an unbiased prosecutor (read somebody that does not work at the DA's office) with the power to charge (via a grand jury) and imprison (via a jury). everybody connected with the crime. This might hinder the police forces that is not a problem we need less laws not more, but less laws do not get people elected.
Jury nullification has been under fire since the civil rights days. You can not cut it both ways, if you allow it people will get off for heinous crimes they performed to protect the social order and there way of life. Pretty much the minority looses it's right to justice with this in place. Now I would suspect the greater good of not allowing the masses to be downtrodden by the system. To make it effective you would need to merge the powers a grand jury normally has to gather information with a standard jury. To make this whole thing particularly effective you need to stop the practice of using the latitude in punishment to entice people to plead guilty (ie take 2 years now or face 60 if you go to trial) as you should never be punished for exercising your rights.
As to looking up laws the jury should be free to seek out independent opinions on the law as they are the ones that determine the law not the judge he is just the ringmaster. After all any compotent member of the bar should be able to advise them assuming they do not hold a conflict of interest in the case.
Easiest way to get off a jurry is to look like you have a clue they like sheep.
The problem is compounded that as you get exposed to things your are allergic to you gain a tolerance. Parents get there children tested for allergies at an early age and act like any exposure will kill them. Now my son was tested and was allergic to peanuts, through small exposures he now enjoys the stuff at age 5, and had all of a slight tummy ache and rash when he first ate it. This is not a disability it's people living in bubbles and trying to enforce those bubbles on everybody else.
One better the subways use them a turn style with fixed bars and it only rotate in one direction so you can only go though it. Not perfect as you could pass something though it.
Aw but that's not good security theater. Reality is some unappreciated janitor can get whatever they want within reason into the secure zone. Point in fact I have forgotten to check my leather man into checked baggage several times and of those time once once did it not get past the metal detector.
Face it the terrorist used a jail house weapons to take over a plane. Want to stop them remove there desire to trade there life to hurt Americans, encouraging the passengers to take a proactive stance or full body enemas and tyvec(SP) suits after a 3 days in holding. Option 2 seems to make the most sence but politicians do not like the people fending for themselves that makes them two uppity. Personally hand every adult a loaded uzi when boarding the plane there will be no more hijackings.
I think your missing a bit the hardware is there this guy is not coloing it. It's most probably in the contract it's no different that your landlord coming into your apartment when you report a water leak.
