My information got compromised twice. The first incident was with eCheck (used at the time by Scottrade), which got hacked into. The other incident was with Colorado Technical University, in which an employee inadvertently mailed out an attachment with a roster of students. This roster included my whole life basically. Perhaps until there is some general law of accountability e.g. SOX, GLBA, or HIPAA companies and institutions will take protecting information more seriously? Perhaps when the cost of security is less than the legal suits that will follow the incident, they will be more proactive? The hacking incident might have been more difficult to guard against, but the email incident could have easily been prevented with something like Entrust.
Being ADHD, the more stimulation I have e.g. cell phone and radio. I am more at ease while I drive. No radio and cell phone I am all over the road and fidgety. Look string!!!
This is not intended to be a flame as I really like FreeBSD as well. FreeBSD could learn a lot from the OpenBSD project in this area. I have been absolutely amazed at OpenBSD's out of the box wireless detection configuration. I installed OpenBSD on my laptop over my WPC11 wireless NIC without effort. I also had the same results with the WMP54G.

It helps when you have been actually in the trenches. Erwin Rommel probably was a much more effective Field Marshall as he had extensive experience "working his way up" in his respective field. If you read his book Infantry Attacks you will see how the young Lieutenant thought outside of the box during World War I and then later applied those lessens learned when he was a Field Marshall. My worst experience in IT was working for an IT director who didn't have day one experience in the IT field. I am not saying spending an entire career in IT makes a great manager either. I think to be a top IT executive you have to have a combination of experience. You have to have technical experience so that your people will respect you technically and leadership skills so that you know how to take care of those people.
That someone with the following qualifications leaps to the position of CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER.
Ms. Davidson has a B.S.M.E. from the University of Virginia and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She has also served as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps, where she was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal.
SuSE/Novell has a terrible marketing department if they have one. It's the reason why Novell was beaten by Microsoft. You hardly ever see a Novell job anymore. Netware was/is an excellent product, but because their marketing sucked they suffered. In this case it is the same thing. I run both RH and Suse. I personally think Suse is the better distro, but Red Hat's name recognition is wider known by non-techies e.g. CEOs.
And it took them how long to get SSH into the IOS? Give me a break. They are going to have to move at a lot faster pace if they want to be a security company.
sticking your finger in the leaking dike or singling out a grain of sand from the beach. It's already too late. We have exported a majority of our technology to China already, which of course is being copied, therefore, saving China billions in R and D. America's greed has sold itself out.
Before you flame me, yes, I am a patriotic American, however, I am not blind to what is happening. America is going down the path of Rome. Just give us more bread and circuses. Football is more important than academics. Money is more important than ethics.
I went away from Fedora for a while. I used Suse, now I am back. Objectively take a look at Fedora Core 3 again. They really have made a lot of improvements. I think Red Hat has taken a lot of flack for the split, but even as a student you can get a copy of Red Hat AS for $50.00, which is cheap IMHO. They still maintain an open source focus and do give back to the community.
I think this is great! Right now all I have are Windows and Linux boxen. I will definitely be picking one of these up. My main objection to Apple has always been price. I think competition is a good thing, but I could never see Apple competing with the likes of Dell in the enterprise because it is simply cheaper to outfit an organization with cheap PCs. I think Apple should target businesses with this system. Other than the graphics artist how much memory/CPU does a user need to word process, email, and web access? I could see a bunch of these on the average user desktop and then outfit power users with more high end G5 boxes.
"FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE supports the i386, pc98, alpha, sparc64, amd64, and ia64 architectures and can be installed directly over the net using bootable media or copied to a local NFS/FTP server. Distributions for all architectures are available now."
I thought they were going to relegate Alpha to Tier 2, but I see ISO images on the servers? Thank you FreeBSD team!!!!!
The worst move ever. Overall the movie reminded me of a medieval Scary Movie; however, the sad thing was it wasn't supposed to be. It was a bunch of pop culture integrated with the story of Arthur. The Saxons looked like the Barbarians in the Capital One Commercials. You know, "What's in your wallet?" Arthur's speech was a cross between William Wallace's in Braveheart and Henry the V's St. Crispin Day speech. The fight scenes were obviously choreographed. The acting was stereotypical British acting that reminded me of Eddie Izzard's commentary of stacking matches. I expected the Saxon kind to ask if Arthur had a flag. To sum it up it was the biggest waste of my money ever.
The ThinkPad T41 is currently priced at $2,522.13 . They couldn't find another laptop that is more cost effective than that? One of the benefits of Linux is first the OS is free, but also it doesn't require the Spartan hardware of Windows. For $2,522.13 I could simple get one of these and not worry about getting sound drivers etc. to work.

"The current build is a very primitive release, with no support for WEP or WPA encryption."
Security comes second. Microsoft is getting serious about security. Yeah ok.

Probably migrating from Novell to X.

Funny, how I have to pay to see information about me, gathered without my approval.
And it took them how long to get SSH into the IOS? Give me a break. They are going to have to move at a lot faster pace if they want to be a security company.
DARPA announced today the funding for Skynet.
and I'm sorry, but we have been Slashdotted.

Debian zealots you need to mod this one up. He posted something politically correct about Debian.
"As a Debian user fairly new to Linux"
A fairly new Linux user using Debian.... Liar
Someone should mod this up. The best post in this thread.
