I think you mean to say you need 15k sas drives. If you really want speed though look as SSD drives as long as your dataset fits on them few things are faster. SCSI is going the way of the dodo replaced by SAS, really it's just the same protocol on a different interface. Fiber channel is great for interconnecting devices not as nice as a raid controller to disk interface but it's the current speed king for common interfaces at 4GB.
You have to keep in mine CC companies loose nothing in CC fraud they actually make money. Here is how the charge back process works.
Person reports the fraud to CC company CC company issue charge back notice to merchant gives them time to dispute etc. CC company takes the amount of the charge (not what they gave the merchant after fees) + $35 bucks charge back fee from the merchant Refunds all or most of the charges to the CC holder, issues a new card etc. If they find the merchant the cards got stolen from they fine them and change them to reissue cards, Fines alone can be 500k, and I have heard of 5 figure fines for a handful of stolen cards. They have some good software that correlates stolen cards and what merchants have ever seen the cards.
So no visa etc does not loose anything they shifted that liability to the merchant for accepting the fraudulent charges.
Lets not forget your not even counting the cost of the burner / player that is built into an external HD. Speed is also an issue I can write out a 500gb drive in about 2-3 hours I doubt I can burn 25 of these in the same time frame. Tape is the same or better than HD speeds for writing.
OK I can accept that they are just use the video as evidence of the wrong doing. I would like to see them justify 40 days suspension or even suspension since they did not seem to even notice until it was posted. One day in school tops, 40 days is outrageous. If the school cant deal with an upset student population then they do not know how to teach.
FYI my wife is a teacher I have worked around school systems for the last 10 years, no I'm not a school administrator.
MS is a software shop they fear free software as it cuts into there margins. Cisco is mostly a hardware shop with enough software to glue things together. OSS is not going to replace core network routers anytime soon. The other side of the shop is support and there is no OSS that is even close. Granted smaller shops will use OSS products that work as well or better. I'll take OpenNMS over whats up gold or whatever Cisco works is coming bundled with for real time monitoring. But I still want CW for it's other functions. Cisco even sells OSS compatible products take the Mars platform it works with there IDS and a pile of others including snort. Cisco might fear somebody coming up and replacing there software bits with OSS kit but that is taking a long time to mature it's not an itch that many have to scratch.
Ah but Cisco TAC is really part of a money maker. TAC is part of smartnet the other part is basic parts swap. So it's a feature that people are pretty willing to pay for or get a cert for. This is far different from most cust support where it's just a cost center around getting paid for something else, or around a one time payment. I mostly have seen smartnet as a year to year entitlement that people get getting, so they start pissing everybody off they stop paying. There are other vendors to get the hardware portion from but only one to get the real software support.
I would think it has to do with the ability to have more bits for ecc type functions. Blocks would need to be terminated somehow so there is a fixed overhead per block. Reducing this overhead by a factor of 8 would leave more room for a larger parity type field and the more bits in there the larger failure that it can detect, fix and relocate. This would all assume they will not use the new space to push up sizing. Course this is all my rather speculative guesswork.
Sure, might want to wait till I get me PE somehow that makes you an "Expert" in court. The realy funny bit is the test is setup for an EE more and a CS person.
You would nearly half the transfer rate of the drive by dropping the rotational speed. Access time is important when you can not cache the files to memory on read. If you read up on ready boost or whatever vista calls it it seems to only matter on memory starved systems so I would rather put 4GB of primary ram into a system than pay for 4GB of flash on a disk. Sure if your already maxed out in ram (a very expensive proposition for my idea of a workstation) it might start making a difference. The best bang for the buck to increase raw drive performance is raid as most OS's support it in software with very little overhead 2 drives can double your disk performance. Now having said that I would love to see ready boost or similar with something like those asus sata ram cards.
Funny last I checked people clone users mac addresses as they leave to surf for free and anonymously. Since open wifi is a shared medium it's easy to do.
I did an install once for a very security conscious person in NYC it was a brick building including interior walls. They get a steel frame and welded on rebar to go back about 18 inches into the wall. The door itself was a fire door steel clad with a layer of magnesium on the outside. Full length hinge and a 3 point lock set (goes up down and to the side) along with one of those mid door bolts that goes to the hardwood floors. Apparently she got the specs from a SWAT cop as to what the drug stashes use to keep the cops out until they had time to flush everything.
In the UK they can require you to give up your encryption keys. This is one of the reasons you have things like the multiple keys in truecrypt where you have one key with some tame stuff and a second key with your real system. I don't know the case law in the US but would think they can lock you up for contempt in a criminal case or just award the case to the other party in a civil case. Anyway if you really have something to hide the previous mentioned method should work fine or just use a server in another country an there are very very few things that can not be done via a text mode ssh session to some server in north korea, cuba, iran etc with plenty of strong crypto on the link and the far end.
Ah but your forgetting to many if walmart does not sell it it does not exist. This is not a store known for it's variety for example want pickles they stock there own and one other brand name (who is probably oeming there store brand) so walmart does a we want to sell it at x the manufacture says no they say ok we will get a company that will allow us to sell it for x take it or leave it. Unless your talking about things that are sole source like toys etc they can pick and chose a vendor that lets they sell at whatever price they choose. The sole source stuff has to comply or not be sold in walmart and thats can mean seriously lower sales expectations and sales numbers drive stock prices.
I would say that many here have a similar experience to mine. I worked my way through school and thus before I had my degree I was working in the field. This experience made me the team lead over fresh out of school CS BS. They were taught how to please there prof's not how to code or the theory behind coding. This leads to seeing a working prototype as job done. CS courses seem to be very week in the other 66% of the job documenting and testing. Very few understood how to code as a group or the value in breaking up complex problems into smaller pieces so the work can be pieced out and the job completed on time. My experience at uni reinforced what I saw in the work place to much emphasis put on simple code that one person could write little to no group projects or time allowed to deliver proper documented reliable code. It takes years to un-train these traits, the government here has a good guideline each year of uni is equivalent experience to 6 months of work in field. HR policies generally make it hard to hire somebody in school the rare exception seems to be companies with senior coders that teach at night cherry picking candidates from there classes.
In my experience the largest group of companies that at pushing OS are small VAR's. Think about the model open or closed source there customizations are work on contract so belong to the client anyway so it's not much different and compared to closed source they can have higher margins / lower bid price. From a management perspective they get somebody in a nice suit that can give them a fixed bid to implement the solution and somebody to pay for support. Unfortunately most of these VAR's are fairly small and the larger ones end up selling there sole to the closed source camp for lower wholesale prices and thus better profits / more business to people that are asking for closed source products. Anyway if the deal is not done I would find a local VAR and ask them to bid on a solution and you can possibly get back that requirements and a fixed time to delivery and price that management wants possibly lower than what the closed source vendor.
Since the guy appears to have made knowingly false statements under penalty of perjury clause of the DCMA when will the DA file the criminal charges????
Those limits are directly in the pricing, Comcast does not mention them and I believe is using the boilerplate we can cancel you at any time for any reason clause in there terms of service. Hopefully the DPUC's (state level monopoly regulatory comities) will pick up on this in the next round of lets keep the monopoly.
As to pricing from the US, there are three modes, pay for peek megabit delivered on 95 percentile basis, megabyte delivered or statement free. 95th is the most common as it's generally a better deal than megs delivered and statement free requires a lot of footprint in the US and a lot of traffic in each direction. This is the same for US companies except for the tier one providers (tier one meaning statement free and other guy pays peering only) but since there are so many tier one ISP's that can do flat rate pricing it's next to impossible to sell byte limited plans since those same tier one ISP's are also your local DSL provider. It works back to the phone system where the US is one of the few countries where we do not pay extra for local calls even to mobiles with local numbers and that has translated into our ISP's. Really for the teir one players a DSL or cable customer is the small cost of the local connection and then the general cost of running there network and constantly expanding it though thats generally one time charges for cap x to get new faster line cards and / or more channels of DWDM on the fiber they already own or lease.
I fail to understand the value in getting rid of these old emails, it takes time to purge things no longer useful more time and effort than archiving them. Personally my online email archive goes back 3 years and I have off line storage back to the 80's and see no reason to spend the time to sort though them for the few potentially needed ones rather than just archiving out the data. I would also have to say that keeping everything to one cd or even one DVD would require deleting all the pictures and video I have of my son and frankly there is absolutely no probable reason I would ever part with those.
I am sure if I lived in my parents basement, had no particular relationships with anybody, worked at walmart and never went anywhere I could fit anything I would want to archive onto a CD otherwise people would like to document there life for themselves and others. While this may not be your situation it would seem you have little that you would like to retain and a lot of time on your hands to sort though things to dispose rather than do new things.
Or you could filter via a layer 7 rule ditching connections to port 80 asking for anything *.microsoft.com there are better filters than early 90's ip proto and port based.
As centralized as you can stand it. SSO is a bit of a holy grail in big corp IT right now. Users are dumb users can barley remember where there cubicle is forget more than one password. This being said reducing the complexity and time they spend typing in passwords is a good thing. It may sound strange but having a sso servers around make it easy to enforce password rotation, add in secondary tokens and the like while only requiring one system to support the rules not every system you have so it can make things more secure vs a unified password distributed everywhere. If you have any sort of compliance and auditing requirements the sso servers can also help track what users are logging into what from where.
Now that being said the people the fix things need something very very hard to break, to date for me that has meant a centralized system that converts all the passwords and deploys them to the hardware locally. It's gotten better as the one way functions have gotten stronger but we still insist on 30 days rotation. Same system pushes generated local admin passwords to workstations. It's all home grown scripts layered on top of out inventory tracking database.
Funny I do not remember IPv6 magically fixing routing complexity or dealing with traffic engineering. We are at 200k entries in the ipv4 global bgp table roughly with 48k ASN's so IPv6 would have at least that many routes as compared to max aggregated IPv4 of 73k so there is no serious gain and 48k ipv6 table entries should take up more space in memory than 73k ipv4 since there are more bits to deal with. IPv6 deals with the number of public IP addresses as well as some goodies like multi cast but not with routing table complexity. It's nice technology but not the panacea of IP networking. Finding a better solution than BGP would be required. Survivability of the internet arguably has gone done more because there are less transit networks out there the schools did not mind peering with others, now very few entities are willing to trade transit.
Sounds like your phone carrier likes to cripple there phones. If your carrier is GSM get an unlocked phone and do whatever you would like they are not that expensive.
The artists and fans thing will not happen until the consumer is not swayed by throwing a few 100 mill in advertising to get a new star. That is the value in big music they can make anything a money maker (only to there accountants though to the artists they never seem to make much comparatively)
Funny I thought the galaxy was 100k ish light years across. So it would take half of that if we started at the center and the probes moved at light speed. It would take the same half of that to get the final results back so the minimum time is 100k years, without going faster than light.
