  1. Re:Compatibility? on Cisco Updates Network Security Technology · · Score: 1

    If you actually read the docs, you'll see that CSA runs on Solaris and Linux as well, and the TrustAgent used for NAC is now available for Linux as well. Only redhat is officially supported, but I guess it should be possible to adapt it. I guess Mac OS X will come next.

  2. Done by the french ... on Tracking Cell Phones for Real-Time Traffic Data · · Score: 3, Informative

    It seems that INRETS (= National Institute for Transport and Safety Research) teamed up with SFR (one of the mobile operators) to do just that.

    I can't find any direct link to the paper, altough somebody with an IEEE account could probably find some. It is also cited on University of Virginia Center for Transportation studies.

    If somebody can link to more info ...

  3. Re:Hardware OS on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    Something more interesting will be the ability to run x86 emulators (VMware, Xen, bochs) and have a full windows running at native speed. That should be much better than VirtualPC, and more flexible.

  6. Re:News? on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "So I think Microsoft is about as likely to create MS Office for Linux as the USA is likely to sell F-16 fighters to Iran."

    Well, it almost happened, it was just a matter of months. They were the only country to got F14 before that.

  7. been there, on Additional Software for a Homemade PVR? · · Score: 1

    Went the same road, as I'm also using it as a my home server, what I have also installed
      - samba, as it is a file server
      - mldonkey, for video on demand
      - mt-daapd, for itunes sharing (but I don't use it)
      - monitoring trough hotsanic (local), snmp+nagios (remote)

    Also, do not forget to configure your console to use your serial port, you don't want to move keyboard & monitor each time you want to connect to it.

  9. Virtualisation ? on Tips for Increasing Server Availability? · · Score: 1

    Despite the obvious price tag, vmware products allow to "virtualize" your server(s) and to make it run across multiple hardware hosts. Ok, that just adds another option, but it's nice to be able to just "move" one virtual host from one hardware box to another without shutting it down.

  10. Re:When will people learn? on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    "iPod nano 2.0 will cost less" .. I don't have any handy webpage here, but I am pretty sure that since the first iPod, the price and space have stayed similar while they got smaller & brighter...

  11. Dynamicaly assigned (VMPS, 802.1x) on A Simple Tool for Tracking Switch Ports? · · Score: 1

    "VMPS (VLAN Management Policy Server) is a way of assigning switch ports to specific VLANs based on MAC address of connecting device."

    So basically, once you have a db of all your network devices (hosts), you can configure a server to automatically assign the proper VLAN.
    AFAIK, this is cisco proprietary, but an opensource server exists.

    Another standard/open alternative would be to use 802.1x.

  12. Re:Copy Cat on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    remember that they are 2 definitions to the word innovation.

  13. Basement ? Cellar ? on Space Saving Technologies for the Home? · · Score: 1

    Depending on your building, you may want to use your basement or cellar as a server room.

    Few will let you pull your own cable or provide with cable from the start, so you'll probably need a wireless bridge.

    There are also some other problems (dust, floods, ...) that you have to take into account.

    In any case, you don't want more than 1 disk in your PCs, there's not only space, but also noise consideration.

    And not by a thing margin, see those Unicef numbers : 15/1000 as EU average and 4 times more (64/1000) in the US. Almost same numbers in 98, and I would guess still the same now.

    Well, it could be easily argued that unwanted teen pregancy is higher in the US due to this puritan mindset & the accompanying non-sense abstinence propaganda.
