How many public K-12 schools need to go into how an OS works? How many elementary and middle school students can take programming classes, so they can get into OS design and implementation in high school?
Yes, some kids can do it - some do do it. But not very many.
The advantage Linux and friends have is that they are cheap. With my school district and state strapped for cash, cheap is important.
But as far as education and my expierence in grade school, OS internals are a little too advanced.
A much better solution is to have a standard length for yellow
Why not adjust the yellow for the speed limit on the road? If it's a 10mph zone, you need less time to react than if it's a 50mph zone.
Just my US$0.02
With a firewall on every machine and a general network firewall, you have a layered defense that is exponentially harder to subvert.
Maybe. Or, the attacker breaks the first firewall, and then exploits the server that configures the NICs. Thus, attack complexity is greatly reduced, as he can now disable all the firewalls in the network.
I'm with you on layered defense. However, it breaks down when you trust other systems.
The Clinton administration tried this, and the Supreme Court said no. So, I think we should fire Presidents that sign bills with stupid riders. But that would be too easy I think.
I got my first ineteractive IM spam bot today. The conversation went something like this:
bot(with a female name): Hey, would you like to chat? me: who are you? bot: Nice to meet you! I'm 20/f me: are you a bot? bot: I may have to go soon, would you like to see my pics? me: depends bot: ok, bye. me: nice bot me: well written. [no further responses]
So the interesting thing, I think, is that when I didn't say yes to seeing the pics, it didn't send a URL. But I'm sure the spam won't be this nice forever.
incidents.org is tracking the spread. It still looks to be on its exponental path to death and destruction of the Internet (sarcasm included.) As of this post, incidents reports 22,000 infected (up from ~13500 an hour earlier.) It's too early yet to tell how this will pan out.
I'm a runner. I enjoy watching track meets. I know that there is an easier to get from point A to point B than running. I'm not much of a fan of NASCAR.
I enjoy watching (and doing myself) the human element of an athletic event. The screw ups, the over compensation, or under compensation. Sure, a pitching machine could do all the work - but where's the fun in that?
They will not use additional superior software they can download, because they are too dumb or lazy to bother when they have something that does the job already, even if it is a little substandard.
So, you're saying consumers are choosing to use a less superior project? Alright...
This is why microsoft has a monopoly, because by including it, you appease the lazy man, who constitutes a large chunk of the software market.
You just said there were competing products available for download. That kinda refutes your argument that Microsoft is a monopoly, dosn't it?
Is the second floor of that building the top floor? Last year my company had a significant network hiccup. Somehow the sprinkler system from a floor above our company's headquarters went off. All weekend I believe. Anyway, the HQ got flooded from above, and a lot of stuff (PBX, personal records) were down. This kinda sucked since it was like my second day, and I needed to take to them about something. But I digress.
It looks to me like the CIA liscensed the product that SafeWeb produces. If you consider a paying customer to be "funding" and "owning" a buisness.. then I guess you could say the CIA owns SafeWeb. espo

Students would be able to view previous examinations, learn exactly what questions professors ask, and learn only those questions. This will lead to focused studying instead of the broad studying necessary for a real education.
In Tennessee, it was state law that professors have to keep and distribute upon request copies of old tests.
Students with computers at home (i.e., financially stable students) will have access at all times, while others (minorities, etc) will not, leading to an even bigger gap between upper- and middle-class.
Students at MIT arn't required to have a computer? I know they are at other schools. Does MIT provide dial-up accounts to students? Are the dorms wired? espo

A theoretical attack is pretty useless when persuading buisnesses.
If it's under an hour, businesses should throw 802.11b out the window immediately.
They arn't going to do this unless they fear people will actually attack it. One of the ways to prove people can and will actually attack it is with open exploit code. Then the companies can't claim it's only theoretical and there is a verifiable method to prove it's exploitable.
Consdering that it's unconstitutional for the federal government to regulate libraries and schools in the first place, why is it supprising that they are regulating it in an unconstitutional way?
The 10th Amendment states that things not specifically delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states and to the people. Internet access is certinly not specifically delegated to the federal government.
Global warming causing local cooling? How about global warming dosn't exist in the first place? Al Gore blamed increased blizzards on global warming. Now global warming is being blamed for cooler temperatures? No.
This is nothing like a store having a no solicitation zone.
First of all, a store is privately owned. Private companies doing most things is just fine, but government impeeding free speech is unconstitutional.
Second, as others have pointed out, a "free-speech zone" means there are "non-free speech zones." If the school is a public school (local,state,or federal - or it recevies any money/aid from these institutions) then it is unconstitutional to impeed free speech.
You are correct, it is illegal for people to violate the rights of others. It's just as illegal for the government to violate the constituional rights of the people who make up the government.

That's like strange in digital surround sound.

These kind of clerks?
A wiser person that I once said "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from."
How about we leave government out of the process, and let consumers dictate the market?
What kind of grades do you make? Do you work hard to make exceptional grades, or slack off to make OK grades?
