You need a secondary DNS in case your site is cutoff from the net (backhoe cuts your cable), or if your ISP has routing/service problems, or if you suffer a loss of power for an extended period of time.
Two very good public DNS services that will act as secondary for you:
I have a Dell 2001FP with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and run it with the included DVI cable at 1600x1200 all day long. There is no problem with DVI and higher resolutions, at least up to 1600x1200.
"this will give this new Athlon 64 speed bin time to take a firm hold"
What's a speed bin?
In case you're not trolling, chip manufacturers crank out one design of chip, test it, then put them into bins based on how fast they can run reliably. They probably don't actually use plastic bins, but you get the idea.
Thus, a "speed bin" - a lot of chips designated to run at a certain speed, despite the fact that it's the same design and metal as a chip designated to run at a slower speed.
I also have a VB50HRTV, have had it for like two years. The remote works fine on mine.
I've used it with regular CRTs and with a 17" LCD. The pass-through works fine (I can't tell it's there), even up to 1280x1024. I have my computer, an S-Video switch box (connected to a PlayStation, Dreamcast, ReplayTV, and DVD player), and my stereo all hooked up to it.
It works as advertised, the picture is perfect, and I'm happy with it.
I bought mine for like $99 I think, some sort of deal back then. I think they're around $120 now.
It works great with Street Atlas, is weatherproof, and has a magnetic back. No display, no internal maps, in fact nothing but a USB cord and one blinkenlight. But if you're just going to hook it up to a laptop, this is what you want.
Garmin and Trimble make similar ones - look under their OEM/sensor sections. Some are larger and more accurate.
Assuming the availability of expert personnel to mount the dish, is there anything stopping someone from subscribing in the USA and then bringing the dish there? The cost of the flight would be covered in about 2 months' service fees.
Assuming you could still see the same satellite, there's probably no technical reason (although I'm sure it's prohibited both by contract and maybe even encryption export laws). If you can't see the same satellites, then it wouldn't work.
Every hear of ground loops? Ever hear of other EE terms? Twisted pair wires are not for use between buildings. You deserve to fry your comptuers if you are stupid enough to try this. Odds are you will one day too. (Note, old 10base5 systems are the only copper based system I know of designed to run between buildings).
Okay, so maybe not cat5 (although they do make group loop isolators for them). Fiber would work too, and would span longer distances.
I'll second that combo (qmail + courier imap + Horde/IMP), as this is what I've been using for over a year. Works great; I've used it while traveling from halfway around the globe. Horde/IMP is multi-lingual, too.
You have it exactly backwards.. this will *prevent* all joe jobs. You have SPF records for your domain, then anyone who sends mail as your domain will be rejected, because it's not coming from your SPF-listed servers.
It doesn't prevent non-spoofed-domain spam, true. But it's a step in the right direction.
"Dark fiber" is a nice buzzword, but has nothing to do with your question:
"I don't know how to design a network, can someone do it for me?"
Even if someone was willing to do this for you, the answer's no, since you've given absolutely no details about sites, number of users, applications.. really, anything useful to go on other than that you want to use TCP/IP.
There is no 'network in a box'; everyone's requirements are different. If you would post some of your requirements, we might be able to give you some ideas.
>But the article further goes to mention how important the Internet is to our economy. Is this true?? I don't really think of the internet as critical infrastructure.
Many, many companies have replaced dedicated T1's with VPNs (or just SSL sessions) over the internet. My employer (unnnamed, large [several billion in assets] bank) is one of them. Yes, important financial stuff.
To put it briefly, we'd be really hurting if the internet was down more than a day, and *really* screwed if it was down for any extended amount of time. It takes a long time to get Ma Bell to provision new circuits.. 2 weeks for a "rush" job.
Here's another way we looked at it. You have 10 people sharing the proxy, suppose 2 or 3 hit my site at the same time, you would be lumped together into a single session. Fine, then sessions do not mean a specific user hit the site, just a specific IP - that's all we really want. We know that IP could mean 10 people seeing things at a presentation, 10 behind a proxy, 10 who dial in, click, hang up, someone else dials into same IP, click, hang up... We know there's going to overlap and error, but in the grand scheme of things I'd think it'd all work out in the wash.
You should take proxies more into account.. many large companies shove tens of thousands of users behind a handful (or one!) IP. Some colleges do as well. And, oh yeah - AOL. 10 million people or whatever, and they all use a handful of IPs. Don't foget the cable modem companies, the DSL companies, and all the little ISPs that encourage (or force) users to use their proxies.
If you rely simply on IP, not only would your sessions not make any sense in any kind of "he went here, then there, then there" kind of sense, but you'd vastly underestimate the number of users/sessions.

They'll also act as primary, dynamic, etc. Both free, but of course they take donations! :)
I mean, fuckity fuck fuck this fucking fucktard piece of fuck.
BugMeNot supplies free user accounts for sites like the NY Times. Their bookmarklet is especially useful.
I have a Dell 2001FP with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and run it with the included DVI cable at 1600x1200 all day long. There is no problem with DVI and higher resolutions, at least up to 1600x1200.
You also get the remote ($39), the dock ($39), and the carrying case ($39).
So, 5 gig plus $117 worth of accessories for $100.
Not a bad deal.

Geez, if you're going to make that joke, at least get it right.. "TPS reports". (From Office Space)

And
Horde/IMP
The Horde site also has calendar modules and other cool stuff as well. (You can use it with Courier IMAP too)
It'll just force all spam to be joe jobs.

>Does this not violate Microsoft's DoJ agreement?
No, "security" features were specifically exempted.
>3% is way too high for the volume that Apple's doing. I would be very surprised if their per-transaction charge was even as high as 1%.
They could queue up your purchases, and only charge your credit card once a day, a week, or once a month. Ebay does the same thing.
If there are ways to defeat polygraphs, then what makes this DoD guy think that polygraphs are in any way valid?
The bad guys will just use those countermeasures. The good guys might 'fail' when they should have passed.
In other words, by attacking countermeasures, this guy is actually attacking the so-called "science" of polygraphs.

How is this any better than SLIP or PPP? The document never mentions any advantages.
Any quick guides to replacing Metacity with say, sawfish, or any other windowmanager worth a crap? Especially on Solaris?
Cascade-only window placement, no alt-drag, no alt-tab.. metacity blows.
