Now you've got a command prompt and an explorer shell both with admin priveleges. The only thing you've lost versus actually logging in is the Start menu.
I always use SSH to get in, but I don't necessarily tunnel X. In my experience, VNC and RDP handle medium-bandwidth connections (upstream capped) connections better.
Patents were supposed to be unlikely to be duplicated.
Where'd you get that idea? If it was unlikely to be duplicated, the innovator would just keep it a trade secret. That way, he doesn't have to tell anyone how it works.
If OO programming had been patented, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Simula was made in, what, '67? So the patent would have expired in '81, which is about when people started caring.
I agree with your main point, though, that doing something old in a new context doesn't make it patentable.
Heh, I use to work for a web server admin shop, and about six months ago, we were considering going with a NetScaler product. We ended up going with something from F5 instead for entirely non-technical reasons.
I have since moved on to smaller and less-important things (but in Germany, and with higher pay), so I'm not sure how well it worked out.
The site license is helpful but not necessary. The important thing to remember to do is always include the costs of all requisite licenses in the quotes you send upstream.
Remember, we're talking about large corporations here (the context was where there's a communications discontinuity between "management" and "employees"), so I wasn't addressing people who work for companies with so few employees that an extra couple hundred per computer really matters.
My dad once had to get a passport, which proved troublesome. He was naturalized when he was a child, and he legally changed his name as an adult. He has no middle name, just an initial. The lady at the post office refused to take just a middle initial. It had to be a full name or nothing -- even though he didn't have one.
Actually, if you'd looked at the RFCs, you might have noticed that Microsoft co-wrote one of them. If you'd actually read it, you might have noticed that they'd been implementing something very similar to it since (at least) Windows 95.
Huh? Without portknocking, you have to have at least/one/ listening service.
The advantage with portknocking is that if someone was scanning IP ranges for computers running exposed services, you won't show up as a valid target. You'll look like an unused IP or a computer that's off (or one that's simply firewalled every port).
Not true. MS's implementation of IPSEC doesn't support multicast because MS's implementation of IP filtering doesn't support it. But a proper IPSEC implementation/does/. See here and here.
The AP curriculum used only a (very small) subset of the C++ language. You were specifically forbidden from using certain features on the exam. The teacher probably never told you about that -- it's just assumed that if they didn't teach something to you, you wouldn't use it.
FWIW, switching from C++ to Java had nothing to do with the educational merits of either language. It had to do with most colleges using Java in their curriculum, so ETS figured they should follow suit.
The language/doesn't/ matter. That's why they're able to change it twice in five years (it's an implementation detail:)
Actually, you're complaint is mostly moot. The AP free response questions are graded according to a strict rubrik. If you did write only pseudocode, you might end up losing one or two points max per response (out of nine or so possible). If you don't mess up anywhere, you're still five material.
In fact, IIRC, some of the (subsections of the) free response questions explicitly required you to write pseudocode. (Disclaimer: I took the A exam in 97 in Pascal and the AB exam in 99 in C++... I got fives on both, in case you were wondering.)
So should the AP Physics exam be entirely in mathematical symbols and formulae? After all, there's no nead for a language like ENGLISH in a SCIENCE exam!
Yeah, and? So you're good at programming. Are you saying that the test failed to accurately determine if you should be given a few extra semester hours for your knowledge.
And bragging about having fifteen extra minutes on an AP test isn't all that much. Hell, bragging about a five on an AP test isn't that much either. I've taken eight AP exams and gotten seven fives and a four. A friend of mine/walked out/ after the multiple choice section of the US History AP and got a three. Now THAT's an accomplishment!
Hey, genius. If you were (by your own admission) totally inept at programming at the time, why should your judgement of the exam hold any weight whatsoever?

It should be, "Works 'well', not 'good'," not "Works well, not good."
Ghetto moderation in effect.
Use the Terminal Services Client (also uses RDP). It allows you to actually log into the machine (starting with a login screen) in a window.
Also, you have heard of runas, right?

Figure out how to shut down Linux? WTF man, it's a friggin LiveCD... just flip the power switch.

That's why any half-decent IT department wipes the disk and installs from a generic image. That way, everyone has the same thing.

Disable Active Scripting in the Internet Zone; put WindowsUpdate.com in the Trusted Zone.
Solution -- simply make the shadow a slightly different (lighter/darker) color.
Frankly -- I think that the mouse is a lost cause. Let me move/rotate with the keyboard!
If you want to be pedantic about it...
Your first sentence is correct ("IETF draft standards" would be more accurate). Your second is not.

What about using IPSEC to encrypt the transmission?
I've got four RAID enclosures that have 12 drives each.

They release some questions, after which the question is thrown out.
