I was struggling with a similar issue myself. People in my organization would constantly email me with requests "can you do this real quick". Well 50 emails later that day it became impossible to prioritize the information. I installed a ticket system called RT which has greatly simplified my life. Runs on mod_perl and is open source, I highly recommend it.

Is anyone else confused by the fact that it took them 2 1/2 hours to go 7.6 miles at a speed of 12.5 mph? With those numbers it works out to be 36 minutes... okay, i'm a dork.
How do they sleep at night? Obviously pretty well. If I was an employee of SCO Group, I'd be pretty pissed, seeing as they are putting the company in the crapper.
I know all our Windows boxes at the office use the "auto update" feature to download patches at 3am each night. I figured most people would be using this great feature. Instead of trying to keep up with all the security fixes, I let Microsoft push them to me.

Any faith I had in the legal system was lost on the O.J. Trial. I'm placing my bets on who's pockets are deeper (IBM). Remember, the law isn't about what's right or wrong.
All our desktop computers are Windows, and simply have too many users to try and keep everyone patched. So instead, block all incoming ports on the firewall, and voila. Why this isn't standard practice is beyond me.
I was thinking about the Rio Receiver, but I couldn't remember the name. What happened to it? Is it still around, or was it a flop? I saw them for $300 when they came out a couple years ago, and was going to wait until they went down in price.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for. There are lots of great MP3 players out there, but most depend on USB. I want something that I can use with my stereo system, and running a 30 ft CAT5 is much easier than 30ft of USB cable. Now only if it were 802.11. I think this device will definately have me looking at Ogg.
No need to throw lots of hardware and redundant systems to survive a/. From what I've seen, most sites that go down are due to a small number of reasons:
1. Not enough bandwidth
2. Poorly configured web server
3. 300k images & 20MB mpeg/avi downloads (see #1)
4. Not enough RAM (1GB is generally enough)
I host about 50 domains for friends on my webserver (an Athlon 1.2Ghz w/ 1GB RAM) and have survived a simultaneous Slashdot and Fark link.
The systems that will make this work haven't even been built yet. Chief Information Officer Sateesh Lele is building a network and manufacturing system from scratch, just like the company.
Right now, he is talking to vendors and making architecture decisions including one tug of war over whether to go with a Linux-based system or one that relies on Microsoft's.NET platform. Lele has largely ruled out using Unix, saying he would like to think ahead
Somehow I don't see such a huge operatation running seamlessly on Windows servers (as Microsoft would lead you to believe). I'm thinking of the commericial where the guy changes his mind about the car color, the salesman types the changes in to his wireless handless and the manufacturing plant instantly changes the painting of the car. Year right.
Wouldn't SAP/R3 on Sun enterprise servers be more in line? I hope their CIO gets a clue.
How can that be done easily across multiple platforms?
Easily.. Our school uses a Cisco VPN solution to authenticate students accross the wireless network. Your MAC address is then attached to your student ID. I would imagine they could easily record bandwidth that way. And yes, they have Linux clients for this configuration:)
You can't work outdoors in an airport without ear protection. I don't think ear plugs would even help with your head a foot away from a jet engine. Although I do think the power and speed of this thing would be impressive, even if its a disaster waiting to happen.
I like how he cites that they need to pay their salaries. What about the legitimate websites that depend on their affiliate commisions? Are their salaries not as important as yours?
When I think of shows like Sinefield and Friends, do TV actors really need to make $100,000 an episode? Perhaps if their salary was reduced, my $40/month I pay in cable might be worth something.
You think an engineering school would have I2 connectivity. Instead they are getting slashdotted, my traceroute is showing 3 second latency. I sure hope this pipe isn't their only connection to the Internet. Otherwise the freshman are probably crying about how slow it is right about now.
