specifically, if I give you a hacked package... you don't get to decide what I do with it. sure it checks against whatever key.... but it also hacks you up. you can only trust automated systems if you can manualy verify them. catch 22.
1. you get a hacked package. 2. the package is signed with evilGuy's key 3. evilGuy changes the url in the package to be his site that you can verify the package against. 4. you install the hacked package.
Besides the hints, what other apps do you run? How many of those 150 are running real applications, during peak hours, and what kind of response do they have?
200 ms is what I experience during periods of worm attacks/busy virus days from a cable modem. If you have a wide enough network, you are bound to run into these situations. Mainly I'm trying to get away from the 2 ms local network latencies.
a joystick can only move you through 2 dimentions. unless you have some sort of modifier key to establish the third dimension. two can go through three d's.
quake just happens to be 3d projected into a 2d motion.
I'd like to see some examples of the use on those 150 desktops. In my experience 10kbps is not enough to have a smooth desktop experience. I'd alos like to see the latency you have. Say, at 200ms mozilla takes about 1 minute or more to load, and vnc is just barly usable.
Also note that the hosts attacked were security minded, although probably not experts, much like most Linux users.
Sure, unique binaries are easy to make, but tht doesn't always fix all buffer overflows (unless I'm mistaken). It also doesn't fix exploits not related to buffer overflow. As more apps get ported to, or are freshly created for, Linux more of these hole will open. It is envitable.
As for my prediction... we'll see. There are lots of redhat machines out there with the stock apache binary, and/or an exploitable Sendmail binary.
the last part of my comment was really meant to be humor, as marketeers don't have that kind of smarts:) I was trying to point to the start of a market, instead of a company attacking a competetor.
But, if I were serious: how many lines of code is a person able to write in a day? how many does witty have? Who was the closest competitor to the firewall app that was infiltrated? How many man hours can that company contribute (in a single day) to a bouncing new market that will mean 1.2 billion dollars a year?
Today it is a windows worm. Sometime in the future it will be a Solaris worm, a Linux worm, and more. This worm proved that a small set of hosts can be violently infected in a short period of time.
Guess what... linux has a small number of users (larger than 12 000, but smaller than 10 000 000). Linux users run a limited set of software that have open ports that contain bugs. Once someone feels the desire, and finds a common exploit, we linux users will feel this same bite. Also note that the hosts attacked were security minded, although probably not experts, much like most Linux users.
My guess is that Sendmail or Apache will nurture the first widespread Linux virus.
I'd go a step further and say that immediate damage to the system was mandatory. Waiting in this case would have detracted from the destructiveness of this worm. Since it was attacking firewalled, and, probably anti-virus enabled machines, waiting would mean that the destruction would be nullified.
It seems that those who launched it had a very good knowledge of what they where doing.
Sounds like someone from marketing has decided to write worms. They thought about the market of hosts they were trying to infect. A good reason for infecting this set of hosts would have been to stifle the security software vendors. In order to avoid this situation in the future, a person should invest in a new model of protection. Seems to be a perfect opening for a new market.
I don't know where you live, but in the US, it is likely that once the shooter is convicted, the family of the victim might try to sue the gun owner for not securing it. They might also try to sue the gun manufacturer, McDonalds for making the victim too fat to escape, and anyone else that even remotely contributed to the death of the victim.
rethink that a bit. one camera on the acting, maybe three on live action, one or two pointing at the crew during their year-long (I actually thought the movie took 2 years to shoot) stint.
Divy up the hours by the new number of cameras, and you have a more realistic time frame for shooting all the hours of footage.
Sounds like you are trying to run the whole thing directly off the solar panels, which will take a lot of panels and bright sun light.
Look into BEAM robots for a better solution: use fewer solar cells to charge a second set of batteries or some massive capacitors, then switch power over once the charging is complete.
Charging will take some time, but thats why you have a spare set of batteries always being charged.

if the program is hacked, you can't trust what it will do. you assume security to prove that this situation is secure.

2.a evil guy generates his own key to sign with. read the rest of the steps above.
1. you get a hacked package.
2. the package is signed with evilGuy's key
3. evilGuy changes the url in the package to be his site that you can verify the package against.
4. you install the hacked package.
Our people aren't little... just look ar Conan O'Brien.
Besides... even our smallest people will come looking for you after a few pints.

buy it to keep it out of your neighbors' hands. me thinks you may have upset some of them in the past...
the guys from strange brew liked the bottling line

there was no need for waiting.

Real astronomers start counting from two.

populate a model code-named Iago, after Shakespeare's arch villain
in my fonts, `I' looks like `l'. I thought lago would be a very slow implementation of logo. I like the shakespeare's villain idea much better.
how does it work? looks like a bar stool to me... and I've lounged on many a bar stool. they never seemed to improve my posture.
father was an electronics engineer.
he's dead now you insensitive clod.
My new dog got a habanero off of the counter and after a few hours of chewing it, it dissapeared.
He didn't go for the kill right off because it was too hot, but he killed it through persistance.
