Bringing in your own resources from home - while a novel idea, creates alot of headaches. From the Accounting department on down to the IT dept. What is your dept going to do if you leave? What is the refresh cycle on your little "server"? What happens when the PS dies and the box goes down? Who is going to back it up, and rotate the tapes? Who is the security point of contact for HIPAA? Is it within HIPAA scope? Sometimes, especially in the world of retarded litigation -- it is best to ask questions before apologizing...
Rows for hosts, columns for PDU, switch and console ports. Additional rows for asset tag information, unit manufacturer, model number, serial number. Last row for notes on the system, e.g. any historical hardware issues that may be relevant.
Wow...it took them over 3hrs to film that short 6 minute PSA. Not only was it horrible, but the actors involved didn't even believe what they were pitching.
While its an interesting premise, and underscores the average americans need to learn the basics ( reading, writing, and arithmatic) well beyond what Henry Ford envisioned for them when he helped pen the public school system -- sadly, this whole survey seems as contrived as the classic problem of Hot Days, Ice Cream, and Violent crime
Scary as this sounds -- juding by the crappy technical writing on the piece (the x-over of Network Engineering, System Engineering, etc -- and we can't really be sure WHAT his title is)...Id almost have to say that there is more than meets the eyes. Why would somebody elect to sit in Jail harboring some sort of information -- unless of course he has an agenda. An agenda that will get plaid out in the papers like some garrish soap opera. Problem is the flatfoots and pencil pushers that have arrested him -- are the same ones that just cant understand why you shouldn't fwd every stoopid email you get to 5 of your friends -- or even better, that they really DONT have a rich uncle in Nigeria. There is a wide gap in the technology between IT and PD -- which makes cases like this very interesting to watch. I would have love to have read the search warrant looking for the "device" that resided in his car -- too bad he doesnt have a good lawyer lined up...Im sure the case could get bounced easily for "lack of any *real* evidence". And to the point that motive is not nessecairly an important factor in crime -- are we then suggesting that this was purely a "crime of oppurtunity" -- changing the motd on a box that the SA has left a root shell unlocked on his desk when he went for a smoke -- thats a crime of oppurtunity...this thing smells of premeditation.
I don't see how a script kiddy running 0day exploits on a box is in any way related to the total end point security, or security of the OS. Seems all he did was take inventory of the box -- realize flash was vulnerable and exploited it. Could've happened to any OS -- Ubuntu included -- that provides its end users with insecure software. Seems like trivial marketing fluff -- setup to spur stupid religious wars.
I heard this last night on the news, and couldn't help but laugh. Anyone catch the irony in this? What if this study is inherantly false? That would give greater creadance to studies being true (..goes running for his cat and buttered bread...)
Public schools were never meant to educate -- well, educate as in the normal/. expectation of the word. Public schools were meant to breed a newer, better, factory worker that could at least keep himself/herself company at cocktail parties. Give them enough knowledge that they are not easily bored, and teach them:
1. To show up on time (school bells?) 2. Take instruction 3. Perform repetitive tasks without supiervsion 4. Don't ask questions 5. Don't question authority
There was no suprise that Henry Ford himself helped tailor the american public school system, and to this day it is doing its job; it is cranking out mindless automotons. If you need any proof of this, try ordering by number at a fast food restrraunt (65% of my orders are screwed up). The school system hasn't failed, the humans driving it have failed -- they have failed to shift the focus on public school from factory automoton, to a more "renesaunce man". Even then, do we want that? Do we want kids that can so easily do whatever they want. Or rather would we want kids that have to struggle to do what they want, bust their butt to get above and learn the value of hard work (or cheating -- but even in that there is hard work). Would we want a smart lazy society, or a society of mindless drones doing all the gruntwork while the few pundits wonder -- "how did the public school system fail?".... I believe that with a little bit of old fashion "parenting" and an early start at learning in the home -- with parents that actually care to be in their childrens lives -- kids can grow up with much more intelligence then they could ever grasp in the classroom.
You can't expect much "learning" to go on in a classroom with a student/teacher ration of 30:1...even 25 or 26:1...too many individual needs get quashed for the greater good of the group. Couple that with california's rediculous standards (do kindergartners *REALLY* need to know their multiplication tables?), and teachers dont have time to cater to individual needs -- they are hurried just to get in all the content they are required to teach -- far beit if a child falls behind....he won't be "left behind"...he'll be dragged behind the cart....

Because *that* scales well...

If it works, and theres no need to change -- why introduce unknown incompatibility...its a production network -- not your home box.

A good book on Public school historu (avail. free online) is John Gatto's Underground History of American Education.
