Cisco Security Agent - CSA builds profiles of what programs/people do. When people do something they don't normally do, CSA stops them.
ie. Man walks into office every day, uses office, outlook, and web browses. Man web browses website, website tries to exploit IE vulnerability buffer overflow. CSA sees the browser trying to execute 'out of boundary' code and kills it. CSA does a WONDERFUL job of this. Being a Cisco product though, it isn't cheap. Then again, worms are never cheap either.
How about adding frigging exchange support to the calendaring app.... Yes yes, bowing to the man but there are a LOT of businesses that use exchange. Providing them a good alternative for Win/Linux would be a HUGE. The problem with Kontact and Evolution is that they are pigs. Thunderbird/sunbird are nice because they are simple application footprints.
Yes doom and gloom, still time to try something else. We have been doing it the SUV, output crap into the environment as we want/need to. That's worked SOO well. We've been doing roughly that since the industrial revolution.
So given that the non-environmental side has had their way for a long time, I think it is time for them to let environmentalists recommend some changes that should actually go through. You might be surprised because SUVs -have not- caused global warming to go -away-.
How about disconnecting the Military from AOL?!?!? Why is our national defense infrastructure attached to the Internet? Where autonomy can be easily obtained. How about people make a private network for defense systems. Public networks will largely never be secure because some asshole will always want in and will always have more time to crack away.
This is YET another product they'll can in 6 months. I use to work for an Intel dealer. It has always been funny watching Intel try to get into markets only to dump product six months later. Let's see: high end switches, SSL accelerators, ISDN routers, NAS appliances, multi-media centers, crap video conferencing, and a whole slew of others.
Intel -NEEDS- to figure out that they really should only do Network Cards, CPUs, and motherboard chipsets. It could be argued that they are even slipping on the latter two.
Either way, I recommend people stay away from them. You'll just be buying something from someone else.
Time to act like responsible people and not buy computers that require that kind of horse power. We should be encouraging intelligent innovations, not brute for innovations. The answer to everything should be more transitors/power.
Hey dick, it's called Linux policy routing. I have a few tricks that I was able to make the Linux kernel perform in order to carve up flows. Is that good enough for you prick? I'll be posting to net-dev in a bit to have Robert Olsson and others check my work. So other than sarcasm, what crap can you offer?
I have developed an open-source IDS load balancer. I'm puting in the final touches into the HOWTO, expect in the next few weeks. It can scale to multi-gbps! We use it in our DCs.
Innovation = creating something new..... that's straight from the dictionary. Technicially I innovate every morning when I go to the bathroom. Of course other companies innovate. What a joke, next thing you know other companies innovations will be in their last throws.

Is Programming Art?

Yes - another example air brakes on locomotives. Understanding how to work air brakes on mile long trains weighing TONS is an art. It takes skill to know how much and when to apply. Programming has the same kinds of nuiances plus more. Clever techniques can be properly applied and cause train wrecks or make simple, effective code.
Fry the kid - figure of speech. Make an example of him AND his parents. Take away their stuff and fine them, not kill them. This is a deterrant only to careless parents and clueless kids.
Sorry, fry the kid. Use this as YET ANOTHER wake up call that your computer is NOT a VCR. If parents cannot keep tabs on their kids computer use then they should take away the computer. If the parents cannot understand how to do this, then maybe they shouldn't have a computer till they learn. Responsibility is with the individual and/or mentors.
I've been waiting for something like this. I use Slackware V10.1 and have been for years. I'll finally be able to pickup my AMD64 and run a real Linux. 8)
I've taken language courses at several universities(one of them in the Big 10) where the whole dept. used the same crap book because the head of the department wrote it. I realize I am a bit broad with my statement but there comes a point where courses like language courses do not benefit from ego-boosting books. Either open up the course or get a good general concensus on the materials... or face consequences of being made irrelevant.
I am sorry but I feel no pity for the Universities and book publishers. They 'make money' on selling the same recycled crap year after year and calling each one a new edition.
How can it be notorious for its speed when outside comparisons have shown RedHat to be faster than Gentoo? Stampede Linux on the other hand, that was 20% faster.
People, while the memtest programs are nice, they suck at telling you if you have bad ram. Take your RAM to a local mom-pop shop or best buy for that matter. They have REAL ram testers that will let you know if your RAM has drift problems, soft errors, and other defects. Their tests will take ~ 15 minutes per piece of RAM. These systems are MUCH better than any program you could run.
If the software is not part of the corporate standard I would say too bad. I'm a big Linux user at our office and I administer the network. We have a good amount of control on what apps users run. If they install something else, I see no reason not to tell them that we will block it.
NAC is not for ISPs. It is for businesses and enterprises. NAC isn't built for random dialup users as CSA, CTA, and other apps require you relinquish control of your PC to the CSA console, etc... It is to keep unpatched systems off of the inside of a corporate network.

Kontact has support. It is -slow-. Plus is means ALL of KDE must be available for calendar support. The mozilla teams could 'learn' from the KDE code.

Snort can act as an IPS. It has been able to do this for a while. It integrates with IPTables and can inline drop/reset connections based on rules.

They only offer content via WMP. 8(
Sorry, no. Intel and Broadcom have this sewn up. Why would we want to have to put ANOTHER network card driver through its paces?

Korganizer as part of Kontact does a decent job and it actually integrates with Exchange.

1. OO is slow, why would they want to COUNT on JAVA?
2. Explain why I am going to use this when the current release does not require Java?
