Bradford Networks has a SuSE Linux-based system of network policy enforcement. We use it at Bloomsburg University and it's pretty well eliminated our ResNet virus problem.
Sea-search radar satellites generally locate ships by the radar reflections of their wakes. Even if all these stealth ships are radar-invisible, they'll generate wakes whenever they're underweigh. How does anyone think they won't be detectable? Maybe not to small countries without satellite resources, but I don't think the US Navy will have any trouble with them.
OK, here are some starting points for Linux in Arabic:

Which of course means nothing. There is no national presidential election. There are 50 state elections for presidential electors, all held on the same day. Those electors are the ones who actually elect the president. So if a presidential candidate's electors in one state win by a large majority and another candidate's electors in another state win by a slim majority, they are still wins. The overall majority vote in the nation as a whole means nothing to the election of a president.
Folks, let me tell you how it is. I lead SEUL/edu. Right now, I'm with Paul Nelson and Eric Harrison (and a bunch of kids from Riverside High School in Portland), representing K12LTSP, and Harry McGregor of the Open Source Education Foundation at the National Educational Computing Conference in Seattle. We're doing the evangelism where it's needed, in the educational community, rather than were it isn't, in the Linux community. Linux folks already are convinced of its usefulness, but folks in education need persuasion.
That's one of the reasons you may think we're being very quiet--we're not talking directly to you! But if you're interested in what's actually going on with open resources in education, go to any of the websites above, or to Schoolforge and look around and follow the links.
Another reason is that whenever we've submitted links about such things to/. (I asked Paul about this a minute ago, and his experience has been the same as mine) they have been rejected. If you're not interested in telling people about what's being done, don't expect them to know about it! We've stopped submitting our stories here, since they're never used. We try to use our energy more constructively now, but submitting our stories to educational journals, etc.
Oh, you children. In high school, we had to write our programs in Fortran on coding sheets, take them to the local community college, keypunch the code onto a card deck, and either take the deck to the guys in the glass room (when they'd let us have access at all) or load and run them ourselves on an already-elderly IBM 1620, which had less memory and capability than the cheapest of pocket calculators today. All the output was on greenbar paper from a TTY terminal. When we got to use a PDP-7 with a punched paper tape reader, we thought we were in heaven!
I'd like to know too. I work at Bloomsburg University and would enjoy hearing that other SSHE schools are pushing for this. We're installing Linux systems as a large part of our server core (largely supplanting Solaris and AIX, and preempting Win2000), but all the Linux desktop installations on campus are unofficial and unsupported.
If you're interested in Linux educational software, look at the SEUL/edu Educational Applications Index. There are over 500 applications listed there. They're not all ready for scholastic use, but many are. Your perception that there's little in the way of enterprise educational software is a misperception, I'm afraid.
Go to Schoolforge and browse through the websites of their member organizations. There are a number of such distros, often localized for the scholastic requirements of particular countries.

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on it, but the reviewer clearly didn't bother doing any fact checking. "The Morris-Thorne principle" is based on a paper by Michael Morris, Kip Thorne, and Ulvi Yurtsever which was published in the conservative and prestigious journal Physical Review Letters in 1988. For anyone interested in how this might relate to time travel, take a look at John Cramer's Alternate View column for June 1989.
Actually, there are a number of education-oriented distros. Most of them are targetted at the schools in non-US countries and you folks probably haven't heard of them. However, SEUL doesn't have an education-oriented distro. SEUL/edu is working on a distro-neutral ISO of educational software that will be downloadable for individual use and modifiable for inclusion by distro suppliers in their own packages. We plan to collaborate with DebianEdu on this so that all the applications in our ISO are available as DEBs and RPMs. There's a lot more work being done on Open Source/Free software in education (particularly education below university level) than most of you realize. Take a look at Schoolforge for a glimpse of what's happening.
For those of you who don't already know, GM has shown a concept car called AUTOnomy which is fuel-cell-powered too, but has a bunch of other interesting features.
There's really quite a bit of educational software out there. Take a look at the Seul/Edu Educational Application Index for a listing of over 440 educational apps. We're in the early planning stages of creating an ISO of selected educational software to make it as easy as possible to get Linux systems up and running in schools. If you'd like to help, go to the SEUL/edu home page and subscribe to the mailing list.
Yes, there is. Schoolforge is contacting them and trying to bring them into the Schoolforge coalition. If you're interested in using open resources in education, you need to look at Schoolforge and it's member organizations.
But if you go to www.openal.org/downloads/ you'll see that the official OpenAL CVS still points to Loki's CVS server. I'm becoming more convinced that icculus isn't in truth taking over the CVS hosting from Loki so much as it's putting up a snapshot of the current tree and just claiming to have taken it over.
I've heard exactly the opposite, that these folks just grabbed the tarball Loki made available to anyone, and claimed to be officially hosting the CVS tree.
I see that this CVS hosting deal was announced by incculus, not by Loki. Is this an official new hosting site for the Loki CVS, or in essence a fork? I want to hear what Loki says.

Don't forget that battery life isn't infinite, and that used-up batteries must be disposed of as toxic waste...

If they do, they'll go away quickly. Methanol is a poison. Ethanol is the alcohol you're thinking of.
What makes you thinnk it's an either/or situation?

Besides K12LTSP, there's Blue EDU. Look both of them over and then offer to help out if you're interested in making your proposal a reality.
Yes, there is. Schoolforge is contacting them and trying to bring them into the Schoolforge coalition. If you're interested in using open resources in education, you need to look at Schoolforge and it's member organizations.

SEUL is already talking to them about doing this.
I'd contact the folks at the OpenContent website. They'd be your best bet to find out how their licenses are being used.
The Open Content licenses of course, plus the GNU Free Documentation License and the Design Science license. There are undoubtedly others, but these are the ones I'm familiar with.
