Yeah, I think making an CS map of your school may not be such a good idea. art...life...art...life Don't blur the lines too much. It's better for all of us. Besides, CS is recommended for Mature 17+ players. What, are you a senior?
A lot of people talked about privacy and email from a doctor.
Another big concern is non-repudiation. I, the patient, need to be positive that the email came from my doctor. The doctor should want to be sure that only the patient can receive the email. This is why PGP email was suggested in earlier posts. Imagine what could happen if I got used to receiving clear-text emails from my doctor.
Worst-case-scenario: Somebody intercepts my HIV test results that say I'm positive for the virus. The message gets modified before I receive it to say that my HIV test was negative.
Or, Maybe the NSA is having a hard time keeping up with these new CPUs
Yeah, right. Nobody has more experience with using fast CPUs than NSA. Besides, we don't generate more internet traffic because our CPUs are faster. It's because of the cheaper bandwidth available.
Also note, this is for people who do work on both classified networks and non-classified networks. Do you know anybody who works on a classified network? It certainly isn't joe home user.
Framemaker has been around quite a while and has the added benefit of using the same GUI interface on Windows, Mac and Unix. I believe it only runs on 3 Unix flavors: Sun, AIX & HP-UX. No Linux release.
I strongly recommend using Framemaker for writing large documents such as manuals, textbooks or novels. It is the favorite choice among technical writers when a GUI is preferred. The SGML version adds the ability to write content without needing to know if the output is going to be print, web or CD media. It can also publish to XML or PDF.
Framemaker 6.0 is currently available from Adobe for $799. It is worth the price if you are getting paid real money to do write the docs. Software companies that value their Tech Writers time and effort have standardized on Frame.
Tape recorder makes the most sense. Any speaker that lets you take notes would probably let you record it.
But, what if the notes are being taken from a non-audible source. What if the note-taker is writing a critique of a dance or circus. What if they need a sign language to print interface and can't afford or get line of sight with a video camera. Let's assume technology other than a pen is not available.
I don't know, I guess the poeple who can solve this best are people who had to take notes before recording technology existed. These people invented shorthand. Go to the library and look it up. It's no surprise there are no new developments in shorthand since few situations require it.
Just be aware, if you do find a Part# 13H6689 IBM ergonomic keyboard, they are around $250 new. I don't have an idea of what a fair used price would be. Search the web for the part #.
I work for a big software company. I let our internal Recruiters know of an opening on my team and I had 25 resume's (10 I felt were qualified) within 7 days. This was from using the job description I gave our recruiters on the first day of their search.
There's no way I could have found these people even if I did have the time, which of course, I dont. That's why I needed another developer...
If the nested groups under Unix problem needs to be solved for all systems in a corporation, then let me suggest Conrol-SA from BMC Software. It provides one GUI console to manage users and groups for all systems in the enterprise.
Control-SA uses an entity called a Job Code to associate the groups a user needs to be a member of to perform his/her job. These groups can even be on different systems. When a new employee joins the company, you drag and drop the Job Code onto the User. All user accounts for that person are created on all systems they need access to based on the groups to which the Job Code is connected.
In fact, Control-SA even catches and displays changes to user accounts if a system administrator modifies the accounts without using the Control-SA GUI.
I'm sorry for the plug, but I spend all of my time working with this stuff and I love it.
My company has a free drink policy. Also free fruit, popcorn and pretzels. Every floor of every building throughout the world has soda, coffee, juice, tea and cocoa along with snacks. This way, no matter what office I have to travel to, I always have the same amenities. It shows how much the top brass values the employees. Yes, we are more productive.
What's "compensation for abuse" when cellular is selling for $0.03/minute or less on many plans?
What's your time worth? What's it worth to you to be needlessly interrupted, wherever you happen to be. I think compensation would be hard to measure if I'm in a conference call working out the technical specifics for a multi-million dollar software deal, but waiting for a call from the customer's CIO and instead get a telemarketer's voice. If that telemarketer isn't giving me a free formula for making diamonds out of Crystal Sugar, then he deserves to compensate me for more than my $0.13/minute.
And don't even try to interrupt me talking to my wife.
Read it again. They are using DMF, not XFS.
Data Migration Facility keeps old files on tape and often used files on disk. Reading an old file automatically causes the tape to be mounted. The user doesn't even know it's a tape being loaded, only that the file takes longer to open. Usually combined with tape robots.
The SGI is the way to go. It is easier to admin for sure. Still, take some SGI training from them. The architecture is the reason. Bandwidth between processors and memory is unsurpassed short of a Cray. Note, SGI does not own Cray anymore.
If you are curious about the Sun, you can spec & price one yourself on their website. You would want to look at maybe a 32 processor E10000. The apps *may* run on it, but they are usually used as database servers. The E10000 architecture is from Cray. Sun bought the E10000 product line when SGI bought Cray Research Inc since the E10000 competed in the same market at Origins. E10000's sell better than Origins though.
Internet Security is not an oxymoron because 128-bit SSL can, with much effort, be broken. The easiest way to compromise a system is rarely by attacking encryption engines. There is always a much weaker link.
The reason Internet Security is an oxymoron is becuase of the incomprehensible complexity of the internet itself. There are so many systems interconnected and each is administered in its own fashion with boundless variety of configurations. On top of that, everybody in the world has the opportunity to attack each system on the internet.
How the hell do you completely secure one system on the internet against all known and unknown types of attacks that could be launched by anyone from anywhere?
For this reason, it is impossible to honestly guarantee a system on the internet as secure.
The Internet will go the way of Disco

Maybe they encrypted it with a Tom Mix decoder ring? ROT13 anyone? Do you really think this kind of decryption is processor consuming?

Honestly, this is the best answer I have read so far. It is exceedingly pragmatic. Kudos to you, pngwnpwr.
Well, VeriSign does put it's brand on websites. It's brand is in the shape of a seal. Does that mean it's secure? I don't know.
I hate writing "me too" posts, but I have to say, regarding good experience with Panasonic 2.4GHz -- "Me too".
Hmm, not as bad as I thought. Just a slight self-loathing...
Beautiful. The power of scripting is quite inspiring.

Completely false statment about Amazon. They have hundreds if not thousands of Unix systems in production.

You are absolutely correct. Your list is pertinent to the US too, it's just most young workers don't realize it yet.
Really? Got an story from personal experience?
I had that problem at a start-up. I left as soon as I could along with most of the other developers.

Yeah, except this joke is older than Microsoft and used to circulate at IBM for their OS's.
Old, old, old and tired joke.
The reporter is British. In England, 15.000 is the same as 15,0000 in the USA.
Another example of a commonly confused difference: today is 19.10.00 in England and 10.19.00 in the USA.
