  2. LOGS LOGS LOGS on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 0
    I've found that most users stop when their activities become pubic knowledge.

    Log all traffic. Then sort the logs by user and post them somewhere that can be seen. Examples include:
    On the wall of a hallway
    In a monthly report to the principle
    In a monthly report to the Superintendent
    In a monthly report to the President of the PTA/PTO
    In a monthly report to each school board member
    In a monthly report to the local newspaper(s)
    In a monthly report to the local TV station(s)
    Your school district web server


    Be sure to provide an explaination of the logs as well.

  3. Get it off your server on Security in UPS Software? · · Score: 0

    We took an old server and stuck a bunch of multi-port serial cards in it. We used it as a gateway between the servers and the different UPS. Wrote some PERL scrips to handle it all. We had some other requirements such as a "panic button that killed power and shutdown the ups to totally shut off all systems.

  4. Re:Why no click? on No-click Mouse? · · Score: 0

    Because all the rapid clicking makes it obvious you are playing Quake/Unreal/whatever while at work!

  7. you do have an NDA, right? on Beta-Testers and Intellectual Property? · · Score: 1

    Been there, done that, paid off the lawyers.

    Our NDA (non-disclosure agreement) included a note about ?exclusive intellectual property? as a result of any development directed by testing feedback.

    Basically, the clause states that unless the tester is made a development partner (at totally separate process) then we can accept bug reports, but not recommended code changes. Any changes WE made to the code remained our IP no matter the source of change.

    I hate to say it but you need to either:
    a) drop these people as testers
    b) call your lawyer
    probably both

    Even if you don't have this in your NDA the argument remains valid as long as you have not accepted source code.

  9. Learn to read for content on Apartments for Techies? · · Score: 1

    so in your mind a "professional" runs and hides from technology that isn't "secure"... nice...
    being a professional isn't about saying something sucks... anyone can do that...
    being a profresional means working with clients to solve security problems...

    His point, you self-righteous boob, is that he (as the user) has NO control over the security of a wireless network in an apartment. Most apartments will get the system installed as cheaply as possible and security will probably be non-existent. As a user (what you would be in such an apartment building) you would not be able to change the network configuration.

  10. Re:No thanks, John. on Quake 2 Source Code Released Under The GPL · · Score: 1

    Those software authors that don't contribute back into the public domain are simply thieves, no less reprehensible than the pirates that distribute their work while it's valuable.

  11. Calculators on Science Fiction into Science Fact? · · Score: 1, Informative
    Seldon removed his calculator pad from the pouch at his belt. Men said he kept one beneath his pillow for use in moments of wakefulness. Its gray, glossy finish was slightly worn by use. Seldon's nimble fingers, spotted now with age, played along the files and rows of buttons that filled its surface. Red symbols glowed out from the upper tier.

    I'm glad that, as an American, I can watch the Daily show and have a good laugh at truly dead-on political and social humor.

  15. Re:Donate on Sklyarov Bail Hearing Monday · · Score: 0

    The EFF has been totally ineffective in this case and in fact has tried to help Adobe squirm out of their responsibility in Dmitry Sklyarov going to jail.

    I got to see an EFF "executive meeting" first hand. Just another bunch of lawyers eating expensive meals and foisting the cost on somebody else. In this case, on you.

    I have far better and more meaningful ways to use my money.
