Sun has always been donating their Sun Sparc workstations to Universities(full labs of them here), why is it a big deal when they decided to donate cheaper things?:)
Their stock price should drop in response to their cheapy decision. j/k
I beg the differ. Besides being an excellent choice for small-to-medium size servers, Linux is also an excellent choice for office environment.
What I'm referring to its tight control and consistency in functionalities(you might argue with this but it's true). When I want to setup a machine for my secretary for word processing, I can make sure she can only use that and nothing else. This is exactly like office computers during 80s, a box standing there for a sole purpose. Most clerical clerks are not educated with the computers knowledge, fewer functions in a tool would only help them improve their learning curve and eventually increase productivity.
You may also argue that modern computer should be general purpose and user-centric. Can you imagine exactly how many hours has been wasted on handling virus outbreaks? I'm not even going to start the problems with allowing users to install their own stuffs in office computers, but you get the idea.
The modern desktop computing concept promoted by Microsoft is not as productive as the terminal-based idea promoted by IBM in 70-80s, in my opinion.
Lawyers normally don't sign NDA of any sort. My friends told me that people should rely on their professionalism and they are not required to be binded on any contracts in between business deals. Where do you live btw, may be there's different story in your state.
In this case you can consider redirect all the known viruses entries into a seperate files as a summary,.e.g virus.log -> 12 Sep 2002: code red 54 times, nimda...etc. That way you could keep a healthy and useful log base, until next virus outbreak.:)
I'm not kidding, the expectation of an MS admin can be as low as:
1) Keep the services that should run running(even if it's already owned, as long as nothing is being defaced...)
2) Keep up to the latest service patches (okay, if it's not the latest, the next latest)
3) The server will crash and blue occasionally(may be due to some exception in virus), just reboot it, case close.
3) The server will be mysterically getting slower and slower(due to unhandled Code Red, e.g.). Ask for more rams, extra disk and extra CPU or even a newer server.
I.e., no need to scan security news, no need to tune the system, no need to perform any housekeeping tasks, no scary log files to be seen....
I haven't seen one exception of them around so far.
yeah even you are the first one hero found the problem you are the easily one to blame. Don't feel bad about it.
Just for the sake of exp sharing. If keeping log is not an requirement then I'll just turn it off or redirect it to null, unless you've some measure of cleaning up the log. Log files is always the bane for lazy admin.(and definitely not your fault). Turn off anything that they didn't ask for, there's no need to be your daddies' good boy in business.
If keeping logs is an requirement? Easy, add up huge function points in spec and charge more for services. Schedule extra time to test and teach the log keeping - and even more money will be charged.
That's the logs you asked to look, you shouldn't blame me to charge more.
nuclear? By then you'll have to face Bush's military threats, unless you giving up your superpower weapon to UN; but everybody knows Bush's real target is your bitches repository.
It's not surprising. the $1 billion spent on Linux last year has been entirely recouped at the beginning of this year. This is a big deal in this economy.
The orignal Robbocode was intented to help people learn Java by tinkering your own robot (in Java Class) to fight the others robots running by the computers. The sole purpose is to help people learn Java.
May be inspired by the other online combat projects I don't know, but people soon find it to be more fun to fight online, thus Robocode Rumble was born.
The purpose of Robocode and Robcode Rumble is to encourage people to learn and use Java. You might wonder why it's by IBM not SUN. In case you don't realize, the biggest employer of Java on earth is not SUN, but IBM.:)
It's good for setting up a secure box at home which has most services running in different loopback devices of UML and minimal firewalling functions running natively.
It's exactly like a honeypot project, except that you are not going to invite people to hack.:)
I was going to write a howto for it but since it's a duplicate effort of honeypot project. You may refer to it. It's really useful when you couldn't affort to spare an extra box for your firewall.

It's said in the document the tune is apply to non-ECC RAM too. In fact, the document said clearly that ECC actually slow down the system, and not recommended necessary there's a need.
I got system crc error on boot merely by changing a couple of memory options. This is not an universial guide for everybody and you should really experiment each option yourself.
Just a little warning so that you dont' need to reset back to factory default.:)

First of all in view of your achievement you don't need a bachelor degree. All you need is an MBA(or EMBA depends on how good your business is). Some colleges require you to get a bachelor degree first, but some don't. Even if you aren't interested in this subject you might need it later - you need some sort of qualification when you are dealing with venture captalists, a bachelor degree might not be enough.
If you wanna learn things in a particular area you can go for some professional qualifcaitons in Laws, Finance and Account, etc.. If you've no preference at the moment you can consider Actuaries, which covers wide range of subjects and lead to profession qualifications(assoicate, fellowship, etc.). Even if you drop out of it in the middle, you can switch to CFA.:)
In order to avoid being mod off-topic, I covers some professional qualifications you can consider in IT: Java programmer/developer/architect, CISSP, CCIE, RHCE, etc. Avoid MCS* - no reason at all, just my personal preference.:)
I frown on this sentence. Do they get it? Majority of Chinese will NOT pay for their software at that price. RMB2000 a box of WinXP home edition? May be less for students but get real, even a senior officer of people's liberation army only gets RMB1500-3000 a month. It's like people'd pay months salary so that they could pay some more to watch this fucking mouse dancing.

It's the shame they deserved. There are hundreds of submitted stories at any given time and they don't take them seriously.
It's not the first time they rejected my submission in just few minutes only found it reapeated in/. headlines a few days later from different submission. They simply don't spend time verifying the news, thus lost the first hand on them.
Call me a whinner, but I'm sure a lot of us has the similar experience. If/. editors keep treating submissions like dirts, fewer and fewer people would care to submit.
You can mod me down now, but please think about it. I personally hate to see/. being down to a Register redirector.

That's a common misconception. My friends work closely with financial analysts and help them maintaining their forecasting system. Profit is only one of the factor in determining the potential of a corp.; mangement structure, business nature and future prospect take the precendence.
