Yeah, but due to the nature of the the quantum portion, don't you have to have an unbroken end to end fiber connection with optical breaks for things like switching equipment? It seems that a repeater would change the polarization of the signal and kill the protocol.
If an admin doesn't apply the patch through either laziness or idiocy, It seems to me that it would be a good thing if his own LAN DoSed itself. Please explain how it is 'bad'.
What's I find interesting is that the performance of the dual system is about half of the single processor. Looks like Adobe doesn't do multiprocessing well.
Looks to me like Adobe doesn't handle Mac multiprocessor systems well. If it handles them at all. This is NOT a sane graph. Look for benchmarks of adobe software involving remotely similar hardware.

Apple has said that they are moving WWDC (the Apple Developer conference) to coincide with Macworld in June. here
They are doing this because they want the developers to have access to "new features" that won't be ready until then. There are also reports like this that indicate that Apple is about to release a new architecture based on the PowerPC 64 bit G5 processor.
It takes an important reason to reschedule a convention the size of WWDC. I believe that the move is an effort to keep details of the new G5 machines secret from everyone INCLUDING developers until the product announcement.
If the bids for the motherboards are due any day, then the release of the G5 boards could easily be made in June with production release soon after.
If you think Apple is REALLY switching to iX86 technology, I've got a small country to sell you.
The article seems a bit vague on detail of the 'holes', but the big one that they do mention is one that every halfway decent router admin is aware of. It's a matter of trust and most providers don't trust their customers routers to be accurate. This is really not a problem except for networks providing transit to third party networks or maybe a few very poorly configured ones which really drastically limits the number of 'vulnerable' router networks. Realistically, I seriously doubt that even 10% of AS's have the ability to cause these problems. certainly not "Anyone at an Internet service provider could do this." That's just complete BS by a fear mongering 'expert'.
Anyone administering a router that is NOT getting transit trhough a peer can prevent that peer from injecting new routes into their table. The RADB helps with this for those that do.
I submitted the article last night. Anyone notice the Other two today? "Don't Stymie Nanotech" and "Scientists Attempting to Create Simple Life Form"? Do the admins schedule this stuff or something?
Yes. Apple Stores began to see an increase in sales after the iPod was released. You an probably find more detail on Apple's site or by calling your local Apple Store. I believe 125k were sold in the first two months. Many of those were sole with new macs to former PC users.
Sounds like security throuch obscurity again. Why not just use stronger RSA keys? Or do you really mean something more like IPSEC? You do realize that RSA is not actually used to encrypt the data and is primarily just a key exchange algorithm for a symmetric encryption algorithm like rijndael and DES, right? I'm not trying to bash you yet, just trying to get a better understanding of what you're talking about.
Specifically, it has nothing to do with a proxy server, but does have to do with the proper configuration of network related items. I've seen far too many instances where poorly configured firewalls, proxy servers, port redirects, and radius servers have lead to nightmare technical support issues where management had set a silly policy to be followed by either an incompetent or overworked admin. This almost invariably leads to problems for customers who for some silly reason expect things to work properly and can't get past tech support staff whose sole repository of technical knowledge is contained on a flowchart.
More than anything, I was hoping to find a few people who might be willing to discuss the issues/environment that initially may have caused the problem (a possibly poorly configured proxy server) rather than debating what I see as symptom of a larger issue.
The AC that replied first seemed to have an idea of where I was headed, but unfortunately, most people will never see his/her comments.
As for certifications, no, there probably isn't a squid cert, I'm looking for a generalized cert that could give someone enough information about systems and networks that would allow an admin to be able to know when something wasn't right rather than thinking it's right because his cert course didn't explicitly say it was stupid.
As for karma whoring, I really don't care enough about my slashdot karma to bother. If that was what i was after, I'd likely have posted more than two times in the past 3 years.
Once again, we're shown what happens when someone who doesn't know what they're doing gets into the pilots seat. In the past, I've seen the situation complicated by management demanding that something be implemented NOW. This leads to a new technology being put in place as an improperly implemented solution. In the end, when you consider the amount ot support work required for it, it end up being cheaper to do it right, but more slowly. For some reason too few people realize this.
Certifications would certainly seem to alleviate the frequency of many of these occurances, but in practice, I have seen too many certified employees who really don't understand the basic ideas of what they're trying to do. Sure they have a piece of paper stating that they passed the test, and may have paid $20k for a 1 month course in their given certification, but without real experience with the technology, it's all worthless. Combine this with management that believes that technical staff is merely there for implementation and not design or recommendation and you have a cycle where poor decisions are implemented 'just to get by' and are depended upon from that time on because noone who knows what they're doing has the authority to veto stupid decisions.
What we really need are more certifications that concentrate on ability and broad based knowledge than a specific way of doing things for not only admins, but also the managers of those admins. An incompetent manager has no business having the authority to tell a network admin to implement a new technology on a specific schedule. I fear that competent admins will soon become only slightly more respected than the guy who unclogs the toilet.
I spent a month or two working on an identical project. The issue with this will likely be that the signal processing overhead will make the product ridiculously expensive. There is also the ongoing issue of having everything in the field of view being in-focus. meaning that in VR if you look at a given object at a given distance, all other distances are also in focus. Since our eye lenses try to refocus when the focal plane changes, this makes readjusting your eyes to another object quite tiring. I recall getting headaches from Virtuality too much.
I expect that a slightly enhanced version of the Microvision Nomad will be able to solve this problem since it scans across the eye projecting its image on the retina. tweaking the focus for each pixel may slow things down a bit, but it would still improve the experience a great deal.

I wonder why they didn't just point DNS for the website to 127.0.0.1.
:)
Let the infected servers work it out amongst themselves.
Try the 'FTPing Releases' link under 'Getting OpenBSD' or just click here
;)
Looking at the homepage helps.

GRRRR.
