As always the amount of security you deploy depends on the risk level you are willing take and the amount of work/money you are willing to spend.
At the organization I have we have NO firewall because it is designed as an environment for the deployment of services (videoconferencing, ect..) and users who need unrestricted network access to the outside world. The security policy is written so that the user is completely in charge of their system. If it becomes comprimised and we find out about it...it's disconnected.
Networks rarely are compromised but the edge devices ARE. With the exception of some vulnerabilities in routers of late, networks do what they are supposed to do.
It's NOT nework security....it should NOT be the job of the network to protect hosts from themselves. It's HOST security and the people in charge of the HOSTS are responsible. "Not my fault" you say? Windows is insecure? It's precisely this mindset which has isolated MS for so long and pushed the responsibility back on the network admins that have kept microsoft (and OS vendors in general) and application developers from being serious about securing their systems and applications.
yea..but you have to do WORK for that! Plus It's a bit hard to use your solution when you buddies are in 8 different houses and are 5 miles away in different directions in hilly forested terrain.
What I'd like to see is better utilization of bandwidth within the cable/DSL network infrastructure. It costs cable/DSL providers MUCH less to provide high speed connections between customers in the same local topology.
If you had 100Mb/s to everybody within your local area it would make things like high speed videoconferencing or sharing of high bandwidth content between friends and family VERY fast.
Problem is that current caps on cable/DSL lines dont' descriminate between transfers between two people on the same cable/fiber segment and going out beyond the border router and down that T3/OC-3 or whatever out to the commercial internet up provider. As a result you are capped at communicating with the person accross the street when you really could communicate with them at blazing speeds.
So in addition to actually DRINKING it one should probably take a multivitamin with Vitamin D (or Vitamin D suppliment).
Of course I do get out enough (and my diet is well enough). I've always found it odd that the Vitamin D designation only gets put on containers of WHOLE milk..hmmm
As soon as I saw the headline for the article...the FIRST thing that popped into my mind was that stupid phrase from the First Robocop movie that I could'nt get out of my head....
If there was more traffic on IPv6 enabled networks like Internet2 we would definitely see more apps written for it (chicken and the egg problem).
What I would really like to see is Azureus written to support Ipv6 without any additional work for the user. I would imagine IPv6 on Internet2 would explode if Azureus had IPv6 support. This would be a good thing because the increased traffic would test v6 code more significantly than now (among other things).

It does'nt make any difference. Advertizers know people fast forward through ads, they do so with TIVO and other forms of media as well.

Part two (to make it work)
put a blurb in the show or on the website telling downloader/fans that if they want to support the show they should get it from the tracker run by the offical site. That way the producers can PROVE how many downloads (with ads) to their advertizers.

Put ads in the file..provide it via bittorrent. And put a blub somewhere (either in the show) or on the website that by getting the torrent from the show's offical tracker the producers can prove x amount of downloads of the shows to advertizers.
If people want the show to continue, they'll get their copy from the producers. If not, then advertizers will not pay and the show will die.
I see..you are the type of person who gets all frothy round the mouth like a dog with rabies when somebody questions your motives or thoughts.
I have no problem with people complaining. But it seems democratic participation (my opinion) includes putting forth REALISTIC answers other than just complaining about what's wrong.
I deal with people like that all the time...and you are one of them.. always quick to point out what does not work but NEVER for once offering a usable solution.
So unless you have a realistic solution nobody is going to care about what you think is wrong.
If you hate the U.S. gov so much why do you stay? There are countries with govs and people that agree with your appraisal, I'm sure they would accept your request for amnesty.
Seriously...I have no problem with you believing what you want. But why stay if things are as bad as you believe them to be?
Just curious....does anybody know what they used (or tried to use) to keep users (standard users) in OS X from installing software within their/user directory?
The key is that people want to be able to play their music ANYWHERE...and they don't care how it's done.
My prediction:
Cell phones with headphone jacks (and line out) where you pay a monthly subscription like yahoo music or musicmatch and listen to the music streamed over data networks through the phone on demand.
If I could get this through my cell..I'd pay (as long as it's reasonable..like 10 bucks a month).
There would be almost no reason to copy music if you could play it from anywhere.
This is normal "Bram"...he's autistic..I think he has aspergers. People with that condition often say things off of the cuff without regaurd to what other people think.
So...he often flys off the handle with comments that normal people might not make...but then again...Theo from OpenBSD makes similar types of comments about stuff and he IS'NT Autistic so it makes me wonder....
Yea..the swam is pretty slow at the moment..hopefully more people with good connections will join once they figure out how to use the Magnet URI to access the swarm
