I work for one of the companies that does the *large* proxies for education.
Until iOS 4 even the Apple apps don't use proxies correctly, with iOS 4 apps *can*, but pretty much *don't* use them.
The big problem with this is people buying tech and just expecting it to work. Sure this *should* be the case, but it's not, and people seem to have grasped that about PC OS', why not other devices that try to use the Internet.
Seriously you could put a bid in to have it in a field in Texas, and, if you're the best bid they'd give you the conf.
I was on the 2008 team, and putting on a conf to the level LCA does is a huge amount of work, so if you can bid and do it you have a real chance.
Of course not being in Australia (or New Zealand) makes it very expensive for those people to attend, so unless you can find a sponsor for flights you really aren't likely win for LCA2012 in Texas.
You're getting ripped. 100Mbit is $30k/mo (just the data). We recently got a quote for 10Mbit fibre, all installed for $6k/month (inner city Melbourne, but not CBD).
As someone who has recently switched (albeit just for new kit), you *really* won't regret buying Juniper routers. Their switches are coming along nicely, but are not quite to the level of Cisco's, and I've not used their security stuff.
*NO* general ISP has put it in place. I know, I work with several of them, and filled in the papers for my own employer (who does filtering for schools which is why I don't have a problem their).
"POE and GIGe both require all the wires in a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable"
PoE doesn't. Only midspan PoE with 100Mbit ethernet does, switch-based PoE (usually) uses the data pairs in 100Mbit, and in gig-e it's moot as all four pairs are data.
No, no, just redirect all traffic to that, and any other pro-filter sites to a web page saying "pre-emptivly blocked due to proposed legislation, catagory - hate speech".
Everywhere *BUT* the US A4 is the standard, just like everywhere but the US metric is the standard. As for thickness (weight) the standard is you specify in GSM (grams per square meter), with 80 being standard office paper.
Give me any two C99 compilers on the same platform and some C99 code and it'll work. Endianess is explicitly implementation dependent as are a few other things. Almost every platform difference is due to OS libraries or libc, neither of which the compiler has anything to do with.
I know ISO standards aren't perfect, but they sure as hell are usually a lot better then the crap we saw this time.
Depends where you are. Here in Melbourne there's plenty going, a lot of stuff is advertised on the major job sites (JobNet, Seek, MyCareer), and as for the rest you have to build up contacts. User groups are a quick way to do that (For the major lugs see http://linux.org.au/usergroups).
And what you do. If you are willing to be a PHP programmer and have a decent resume you could have half a dozen (good!) offers within two days, the combination of Cisco and Windows seems to be the big one for sysadmin type stuff at the moment.

You are not forced to vote in Australia. You're only required to show up (you can walk straight out after being marked off) or giving even a half-assed excuse afterwards. They don't even bother to chase the fine.
Of course everyone I know was well-informed going in to the last election simply becuase of where the country was being lead.
The basic OS install was more or less easy, once we battled through the serial port redirection setup (guess most linux users never used a serial port before. After all, why bother when the box sits under your desk). I stil like serial ports over video for one major reason: issue resolution (when bad things happen, having that panic string saved by a console server can really save the day)
So adding two lines to the grub config (one for grub itself and one for the kernel it starts) and setting the BIOS is too hard? I fail to see how it could be much easier under solaris.
Issue #1: multipathing drivers for the SAN. With solaris, you just plug the thing into the san and all of the storage that the host has access to just showed up. Multipathing was instant and I didnt have to do jack. I could see what devices mapped to which physical array with a simple command. I didnt have to guess which array/dev/sde came from vs/dev/sdf. When you have 20 luns mapped to the same host from two different arrays, its kinda important to know which drives come from which array and what the corresponding lun numbers are. That said, most linux admins I've talked to didnt have a clue about what I was talking about since they never had a san.
For part a in linux, unfortunatly they appear to have pushed multipathing on to the device driver layer, for the second part dev-mapper is your friend. Anyone who doesn't use it against a SAN is an idiot.
Issue #2: dynamically add luns: With solaris, you just change the mapping on the array and the host picks it up and auto creates the dev links. That was easy. On Linux? you've got to be kidding me... You get to echo some crazy strings into several spots in/proc and watch the fun start.
Or just run "scsiadd -s"
issue #3: IP Multipathing. With solaris, dladmin is used to create a bond (if it is going to the same switch and the switch supports bonding) or use the built in ip multipathing to do an active/failover setup if you are going to multiple switches. Very well documented and very easy to do. With linux... yeah, bonding is a fun task. Need to go to multiple switches? no such luck, you are screwed. I eventually used VCS to take over the systems main IP and uses its IPMultipathing agent to do the job for me. VCS on solaris just hands the task off to mpathd since the OS already does it for you.
Issue #4: zones: dont get me started. I dont want to run another entire OS, I just want name space isolation and chroot is so primative it is not even funny. Zones gives me everything I want with minimal overhead. It would have been nice to have since there are a few oracle products that dont play nicely with clusters (*Warehouse Builder*) because they imbed the host name everywhere. We could put it under Xen, but this is an app that moves huge amounts of data around, not exactly a good candidate for virtualization. Zones let us get around Oracle's brain dead use of the hostname, no such luck with linux.
It's called linux-vserver. Yes it's a patch, but it works well.
Issue #5: 3rd party drivers vs the new kernel patch. If I install a 3rd party device driver in solaris and upgrade the kernel, I dont have to rebuild/reinstall the driver. Linux (even redhat 4.x with their "back port") forces me to rebuild/reinstall every damn time. Its great if the driver is standard with the kernel, but if you need something outside of that (lsi multipathing drivers to get around #1 and 10G NIC drivers in my case) and you are screwed. No wonder up2date ignores all of the kernel* rpm's by default.
Fair cop, in debian at least they keep binary compatability wherever possible in a stable release

My T410 switched to the multitouch gestures for one X revision a few months back, then X changed back and I haven't been able to it since.
The only real bit of the T410 touchpad I had is the stupid little bumps on it.
From friends at Oracle isn't the official answer to use a VM from one of their "Clouds"?

Mine uses ADP as well, but Evince on Linux works fine for me.
Is this app going to be OSS? My current network diagram generator uses graphviz and its output isn't that great.
Yes.

I also run several large Australian educational networks, and while a little low that figure is believable.
Only this year have several of them started upgrading above 100Mbit.
Also the QLD system doesn't do *every* school, it might do every *public* school but that's less then two thirds of the total number of schools.

At this point Brocade (having bought up Foundry), or HP are probably more the closest competitor, at least in the non-ISP space.
As someone who has recently switched (albeit just for new kit), you *really* won't regret buying Juniper routers. Their switches are coming along nicely, but are not quite to the level of Cisco's, and I've not used their security stuff.
They're our customers, and yes, I, like everyone screw up the English language on a regular basis, get over it.
What trial? It hasn't happened.

Just? Arlo mentioned that in the 1997 re-release?

PoE doesn't. Only midspan PoE with 100Mbit ethernet does, switch-based PoE (usually) uses the data pairs in 100Mbit, and in gig-e it's moot as all four pairs are data.
And that's a bad thing?
Second that, it's easily the most awesome tool like that I've seen.
Or a happy hulk?
Save the good booze for January 20th, until then, who knows, maybe the GOP has a larger then expected "October surprise" that's running a little late.
No, no, just redirect all traffic to that, and any other pro-filter sites to a web page saying "pre-emptivly blocked due to proposed legislation, catagory - hate speech".

Except that deb packages (by policy) do include that info.
