It's not the worse thing you could find in Africa. I've seen how they work with a donated SUN workstation in a school where electricity is inaccessible.
To use the workstation you must have another one power it up with bicycle-dynamo. The user gotta type real fast before your partner exhausted - that means playing game is out of question.:)
That's how many of those donated workstations are being used. I'm very impressed by their eagerness of learning. In them I see what real geeks look like.:)
That's rather interesting. An IIS developer told me under the influence of beers that IIS is fast(it is, hold you flamethrower) because it resides in the kernel just like khttp. Now this 'new feature' sound like a new mechanism to recursive call on itself to me, or restate what it's already done.:D
Mitnick says hackers bring special skills to the job, while Painter says a criminal is a criminal
What Mitnick is dreaming about cannot be seen in US, but elsewhere.
Quote from the article:
The famous American hacker Kevin Mitnick was stopped from going near computers, even from working a cash register, but they can't do that in this country.
I've had two job offers - one from the guy who tracked me down
My friend make a long distance call to me and at some point he jokingly said he'll "boom my ass". Just that. A moment later he excused himself and got the door only to be greeted by Government agents.
This sounds like a sick/. joke and I could never imagine it'd really happen. My friend was questioned and released but he was very pissed, questioning their ground of tapping, and his civil right. He even thought of file a racial discrimination suit(he's an American Chinese) but I suggested against his decision in view of present situation in US.
We aren't terrorists, scientists, secret agents or anything associated with them, and we've nothing to hide; but you really can't say it's not annoying to be tapped, like that.
We tried squid, but it wasn't working quite like the way we wanted it to be. Say user1 just downloaded 105M patch, and we supposed user2 would have that very same patch on the fly, it wasn't. My guess is that each users might download the same file(or fragment of files) from different locations. There might be some load balancing mechanism in out way, we aren't sure.
Or may be, regardless of all the effort, we aren't very good at tuning squid. We'd be much appreciate if experts out there could give us some hint.:)
Second, we found that users would rather use windowsupdate.microsoft.com then to go to our patches/update repository, that make sense. You could forbid your users from accessing windowsupdate.microsoft.com, but it might have a problem, as some update might actually request windowsupdate.microsoft.com during installation.
Therefore, we limit the priority of traffic in/out of windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Eventually we lower the prior of entire microsoft.com because that's really necessary. Users could access to windowsupdate.microsoft.com on their own as usual - if they don't mind holding up their machines for a couple of days.:)
This works great. Larger and bigger patches are stored locally for users, while they could still access to windowsupdate for smaller patches/fixes. Our bandwidth load lessen(to a certain degree, we still can't solve that 5-15% Netbios traffic jam:)

First, as someone previously mentioned, Access is not meant for multiple access. I'm surprised you managed to support >50 access databases for ~50 users. Local access alone creates multitude of problems, not to mention global access. I remember the days when they've to yell for access an Access database for update, kinda like manual locking mechanism.:)
Second, some people above mistook your usage of database is a pure RDBMS alone. Access itself is an application which embedded its programs and database into one big file. I fully understand the problem of porting Access to other means like MYSQL+Java. To minimize the impact of porting existing Access database data and applications, I recommend implement an extra applcation locking to each Access file when somebody request an update. You can also implement a single sign-on system for all ~50 Access database, this way you can have more justification for the changes. (this is much better than the manual 'yell-locking' I mentioned:)
Third, do as they said, port to MySQL+Java. It worths the trouble.:)

First step is to download the patches/update manually and save them elsewhere accessable to all users:
- Windows 2000 users, please visit the
Windows 2000 Downloads site.
- Windows NT 4.0 users, please visit the
Microsoft Download Center.
- Windows 98 users, please visit the
Windows 98 Downloads site.
- Windows 95 users, please visit the
Windows 95 Downloads site.
Second, we found that users would rather use windowsupdate.microsoft.com then to go to our patches/update repository, that make sense. You could forbid your users from accessing windowsupdate.microsoft.com, but it might have a problem, as some update might actually request windowsupdate.microsoft.com during installation.Therefore, we limit the priority of traffic in/out of windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

The rest 5% is Netbios traffic.
