Hell yes! What a feeling of pride I will have when my eight-year old son figures out how to connect his (original) iMac (donated by an aunt) to my LAN (which is on another floor, on the other side of the house, with no existing cabled or unencrypted wireless networking infrastructure) and do it with some level of stealth. That day will be a happy day indeed. You won't be able to slap the smile off my face.

I wonder if this policy would apply if, on the television screen, is another animated television screen with the Brockman newscast + fake ticker going. Granted, the fake ticker by itself might in someone's mind be confused with a real news ticker, but a fake TV screen showing on the real TV screen with a fake ticker going? Would this indicate evidence of television-induced psychological problems distinguishing reality from television?
Further, isn't the presence of an animated newcaster an obvious reminder that this is just a cartoon?

HC: What are some of the other links between Quicksilver and Cryptonomicon?
NS: The links are somewhat loose, so this is not one of these situations where you've got to read one of the books to make sense of the others. There's a gap of about 300 years between the Baroque Cycle and Cryptonomicon, and if you've read Cryptonomicon, you'll recognize some family names that are in common. You can infer that some of the families in the Baroque Cycle have descendents who show up later in Cryptonomicon. It's largely a family saga kind of connection. And then there's a character, Enoch Root, who possesses unnatural longevity and shows up in person in both of the books.
HC: So it is the same Enoch Root in both of the books?
Indeed, if you trust a faculty member implicitly you should approach them about it. Not just any faculty member now, go to one in the CS department or your equivalent. Another option would be to speak to someone who actually deals with campus network security, as they too will have a good deal of clout with the administration.
Take it from someone who has been a computer lab assistant, technician, and web developer successively (that'd be me). IT faculty are pretty receptive to this kind of thing.
Now if the key is to lucratively enjoy the fruits of your labour then you should take someone else's advice.
My parents bought me a kit with a microscope when I was like eight. I got bored with looking at onion skins etc and told my father. He recommended that I look at my own urine. I saw things moving in there for the first time! This segued into how procreation works. Far less embarrassing/uncomfortable than the "birds n bees" schpiel IMHO.
Hey I think I worked for them! Wait, didn't most of us work for those guys? You know, the ones who got bought up by the big bank? Or did they file bankruptcy?

Good point, but the machines probably consider their inception, as in their creation, inclusion in human society, and nigh destruction to be index "00" and seeing the failure of that existence, incremented to version "01" to signify a new begining. Eh?

Don't be fooled! On the biography page there is a typo in the ALT tag for the picture of the author. They refer to the product as a 'helmit'!!! PROOF positive that the aliens at the NSA have easily breached his aluminum hat substitute and altered his thought processes. Do not be led astray! Aluminum foil hats are the ONLY way to circumvent the alien threat!

Having read them all except for this most recent one, I thought the new books were fun takes on Frank Herbert's Dune universe. However, the authors keep in step with Herbert Sr's writing style to the point of formulaic impressionism. An earlier poster said they were "trying too hard" and I agree though I enjoyed them anyway.
The authors are making a gaudy mistake by postfixing "The Legends Of Dune" to every edition that comes out in this new series IMNSHO. They would do well to simply go with a classy title like "The Butlerian Jihad" and include the dune reference as a side-note. As the newest book currently is arranged they are most definitely "trying too hard" or rather they are being lazy and not trying hard enough to make Frank proud.
DVD-R is neat. You probably want it. DVD technology is so cheap and getting cheaper. How do you justify buying one? That's hard because most IT employers don't seem to be hiring people in IT any more. Many people are wasting their time and money on higher IT education when a stable position will not be forthcoming. Therefore how do you pay for such a thing when the most important thing to do is find a job, any job, to keep a roof over your head, and to feed your family. Needless to mention the never ending debt that piles up when you are stuck looking for gainful employment and your nest egg turns out to be as fragile as an easter egg.
Maybe the next paycheck will purchase this DVD-R technology, but probably not because of the mortgage payments or the fact that you can easily spend and equal amount of money on gas for six months. Better win the lottery or cross your fingers if you want that new toy movie recorder.
Don't worry, this doesn't really apply to you at all! You probably got a job and can pay your bills. Cherrish what you have because it has been taken from so many.
Where is the pot of gold? The ninjas of plutocracy have stolen it away during the night and the daimyo is pleased.
In my experience the manager has primarily been a founding partner in the business. He knows his technical stuff because he had respect enough for his developers to learn their language before asking for anything business related to be created. The ony problem has been that technology has moved faster than the managers' ability to grasp new paradigms so they often insist on methods older or less suitable for handling certain tasks. Like snapshots of a competent manager several years ago that did not grow with the times. Not only is it bad for interpersonal cohesion, but more importantly it is bad for business.
Get tech savvy managers or make it a company policy to have tech savvy managers I say. There has to be a line drawn where internal neoptism (of sorts) comes into the picture.
Inadequate knowledge is the downfall of the integrity of any service or product.

Is it a coincidence that the FCC is now deciding to regulate VoIP in the face of IBM plans to migrate most of its phone systems by 2008?
