Give this a try. It very good at tracking physical assets such as rack/server. It doesn't doe a whole datacenter but we modified the code to give just back rows of racks.
Now the physical asset track is in one place, for inter-dependency, I create an diagram of the interconnect at a more logical level since I know the physical will be correct. This could be say a set of switches connecting to a distribution switch and etc..
Off topic because the article is about talking on the cell-phone while holding it instead of on the speaker phone or headphone which was not demonstrated in Mythbuster. Then again, you can always put the phone down or stop talking.
everything is working as expected...now publish that we have lost a spy satellite and let them think that we never had a working spy satellite in orbit...
Only if it's active. Passive is not considered jamming, like making ur car invisible to cop's radar by say painting it with electromagnetic absorbant material, then it's perfectly legal. Attempting to send out a stronger signal to block the cop's rader is illegal.
Looking at it from my point of view, I think this is not Google's fight nor it should be. Some may said that Google cave in because of the Chinese goverment presure and some said that Google commitment to "Do no Evil" is none existence. Looking at this real hard and relized that Google is not suppose to do anything more then an average American company providing food/supply, oil and the like to the Chinese people. These companies, wheather they support the Chinese goverment or not they are still feeding ALL of the Chinese people to keep them alive to run their goverment and country, which some how produce the idealoligy that's difference from what we wanted. This is not much difference then how Google is merely providing information a service, a resource.
The argument is that American supply companies doesn't starve Chinese people to death because they doesn't support our ideal, they will just supply what is needed and what the ideal are is the topic of the next meeting between the countries. Pointing out Google as working with the Chinese goverment is merely the same as criticizing the supply companies that keep the Chinese goverment alive.
AccessGrid (www.accessgrid.org) is exactly what you're looking for. It's not a cheap or simple solution but it works if you meet the requirements. Primary run over multicast and the reason is efficiency. Currently used at many supercomputing sites accross the country, it's possible because these sites are connected over Internet2 and have full multicast support.
Microsoft Conference (research.microsoft.com) also another solution, there's another company that make a commercial spin-off of AccessGrid but I forgot the name.
This actually can be solve by using mutilcast network, because the sender will only required to send out the same amount of traffic but with potentially unlimited users/host. Much like how satellie work, the server sending the stream doesn't need to know who's the receivers are.
Serveral problems I see with that device is that it doesn't list the processing power, well it does but relatively unknown because it sounds like they advertising their new processor, decoding video takes up lots of CPU, even modern computers have problems running real player for example. Uses way too heavy applications and especially they didn't list the memory and cpu avaiable which is critical.
Second, what happen if that computer is compromise, virus, spyware etc? The whole system doesn't reload upon use, well in the case that it needed to be reload before use, it woudn't work too well as an independent devices or for dial-up access. It uses HD which is not reliable and "abuse" resistance. Also not steal resistance too because it's actually an independent system. Also how is this system once independent, be upgrade or update? Software update I can see it happen but the hardware will eventually be too "old" to run anything else.
Other then that, this device seem to be a small version of a PC which essentially doesn't solve any specific problem exept for making it small.
I think the study is somewhat flawed because first of all interfacing with the computer using a mouse and based the result of the study on that is somewhat open for other possibilities. The main point however is that:
"When there was ambiguity, the participants briefly didn't know which picture was correct and so for several dozen milliseconds, they were in multiple states at once. They didn't move all the way to one picture and then correct their movement if they realized they were wrong, but instead they traveled through an intermediate gray area," explained Spivey
I think what he's trying to say here is that we in difference state which supports his continues study but from what I'm thinking this is merely someone stop and try to compare the two similar words because they are so close so diferentate the two and not because they are in a grey area. For example if I see two words that are long and hard but most of their character are the same then i will take a while to figure out their difference and select the one with the intented meaning. So i think this study studied the wrong thing.
I'm suprised no one mention AccessGrid. You can check out more information at www.accessgrid.org. Basically it's a colaboration framework that allow group-to-group meeting and pretty much anything else that can be imagine. It's currently working and being in active development, so anyone can check it out. I've seen setup where there are 3 projectors shine on the wall and mutiple camera to capture all the audience in the room. If there's multicast network where you work that should be ideal because AccessGrid designed to work on a multicast enviroment. Unicast network will do but you will need a multicast enabled bridge server. hth.
What about shielding the house from Tempest evedropping? Obviously he's only over excited with the known method to protect himself not nessary paranoid.
This is just sicken and pathetic. I wonder if any of these sites that ripped of Google UI have any idea what are they doing. Altalavista, MSN, Yahoo the rest of the search engine on the net are all ripped off from GoogleUI. They someone how think that will lead them to success or something. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic!! I really doubt anyone running these sites have any brain.
In China, they dug an underground intersection at most major intersections to allow pedestrians roam freely underneath and therefore reduced the problem with pedestrians.
Maybe I'm not addressing all the points in the article but the point i'm addressing about is the fact that NEC is getting fined and procecution for "convincing the school to buy more equipment then it needs." What is exactly wrong with this by NEC, why is they getting charged and fined for convincing someone to buy more then they need? Can really anyone define how much they "need"? Even if they could, it's the school false that they PAYING for the extra equipments that they don't need. I seen million of ads everyday that convince me directly or indirectly for need to buy things that i don't need! Why is they being fined for doing something that's suppose to be the school district's responsibilty anyway? Shouldn't the school district suppose to get FINED for using the goverment money/grant without knowing what are they paying for? or for lack of responsibility or even intentionally or mis of judgement or millions of other falses.

This is a confirmed myth. Was showed on muythbuster.

This is the software that I'm currently using after trying difference note taking software for Linux:v isionHistory

It actually a small webapp that u can use your browser to open with but that's the point because I always has my browser open anyways.
You can add and remove tasks as editing and change information very quickly in one pape.
Check it out.

Love beta software
Great inventory and support software. http://www.stackworks.net/view.php/irm/
Use it at previous work places.

It's easy to convert image from sound but getting the blind people to understand it is another thing.

great! i just got my 16x Sony Blue-ray recorder!
Easy, just turn it off before going to bed. :D
