Have you heard the new macs?? Incredibly loud, like a vacuum cleaner. Seriously it has this huge fan in it and when that thing starts up its loud. Apple made a mistake with the new g4's, way too noisy.
I spent 10 minutes on the phone trying to explain this to the guy. I finally gave up and said whatever. He isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Had a great idea to disconnect AIM every 20 minutes throughout campus cause he heard of an Aimster exploit. Thats just an example.
My friends and I wrote something similar to this at northeastern. A few months after we first started I got a letter from our "internet security" guy. When I contacted him he said that a netbios attack on one of ther computers had come from my computer. I told him what we were doing and that we were only looking at public windows shares. He said we needed permission from the owner of the computer before we could look at the computer shares. We havn't done much with it since unfortunately. However you have a good implementation over at umass. http://www.canofsleep.com What they did was have people who wanted to use the service sign up, which basically means they are giving permission to have people look at their stuff. It should be rather easy to implement and we are thinking of doing that here as well. Should make everyone happy.
Thats right kids... right from the book to your government. Not onlyl am I afraid of 1984 but I fear its right around the corner. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/14 /10261851 41232.html www.citizencorps.gov http://www.white house.gov/homeland/book/nat_strat_ hls.pdf Be a good citizen and join the citizen corps today!
UDP for streaminig video and games and other sorts of things where it doesn't matter if you miss a couple of packets and TCP where you can't miss packets such as file transfers. There everyone happy go home now.
An example, where I work when something that needs to be printed is secret or confidential or something like that a printer directly connected to a printer is used. There are switches to switch between secure printing and network printing as well.
Whats funny is originally PGP was released for free on the internet at a time when encryption software had heavy export restrictions. Being released for free on the internet was what made it so popular.
and egoless programming Something I have actually been taught in college. Good documentation is very important. Everything should be documented well enought that another programmer will be able to sit down and understand the code clearly. Pictures also help a lot too. For testing have something that will test each function/method in the code. So that if you have f(4) = 5 run a test that makes sure this function returns that. Also try reading about egoless programming. I read a little about it and found it to be very interesting. Thank you Felleisen
Currently I'm working for MIT at a government research lab and its not too bad at all. Some crazy spending, like high end computers available to the lab must cost at least $3000. Basically that means we moved to dual xeons running at 1.7ghz. Pleanty of geeks and engineers, pay is ok. I currently have two friends looking for jobs and i am happy with my job security, one reason why I am still working here.
I do believe jordan had already left napster at this time. Got hired by some other company, can't remember the name now. Anyway as I remember he was happy to not be constantly working on their servers.
