Along with these new 'Net Neutrality' laws comes the power for the FCC to decide what is "lawful traffic". Think of Janet Jackson's nipple slip. Imagine the joy once the FCC gets control of the internet. The FCC doesn't care about your net neutrality - it is the carrot being dangled to get control over this space.
1) Big win for South Korean IT departments - You can always blame any failures/problems on the elite North Korean hackers ! 2) Big win for US security firms selling all kinds of 'Cyber Warfare' defence systems. 3) Just as likely to be bullshit propaganda (see point 1 and 2).
If I understand your question, it sounds like you are trying to deploy virtual private clouds for each student to play and have full control over. Sounds expensive and complex. Have fun.
Having students use GNS3 and Virtualbox on workstations, with the containers / config stored in user directories sounds like an easier solution. This allows the students for complete control to spin up extra VM of any type, use real router/switch images, vlans, etc.. It also allows the students to totally bugger it up and only affect their local system. If you allow external storage devices, they can even take their environment home.
You will need some decent fat workstations. I can't comment on how well GNS3/Virtualbox will run under virtual/thin workstations, if at all.
Parking meter are not sold by the best technology, they are sold by the best kickbacks.
I worked for a company, and wrote the software for a street level parking kiosk that could do pay by space (enter a stall number), pay and display (put a ticket on the dash), and pay by plate (enter your plate number) all at the same time, and at the customers choosing. By having a slightly larger unit for every 10-15 spaces, you could offer payment by coin, bill, credit, cell phone, & stored value card (Gift Card).
Often though all the features that made sense (as a client is concerned) were disabled so that the revenue stream from parking and mostly ticketing is increased - Greed.
Of course, there are plenty of stupid meters out there. Most of the technology is still around the Commodore 64 era, and has never been improved. Any improvements you see are mostly cosmetic - ie, "New Fiber Optic Communications" are actually just a Serial to Ethernet converter, hooked into the existing RS-485 port on the machine.
Didn't you get the memo ! The plan is to TELL them we are bluring out the important buildings, but actually blur out the houses of the Investment Bankers.
The levy does NOT give you the right to do anything of the sort.
Anyone telling you otherwise is lying, probably in an effort to make themselves feel better about their illegal downloads
The levy is simply a money grab to allow a few people to make a good living working at an organization (CPCC) created to collect the levy ...After they are done having a good time, any money left will go to Canadian Recording artists, or rather, their handlers.
What am I allowed to do because of the levy ?
You are allowed to make an unlimited copy of licenced material you ALREADY PAID FOR onto other forms of media for YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE
ie.. If you never paid for a licenced copy of a song, then you don't magicaly get a licence when you download it on Limewire and burn it onto you levied CD disc.
So, after reading the patent, as I understand it, I am allowed to look up a Zip Code for my personal enjoyment, but if I do it for a web client sending a package to someone, I have to licence the right to look up the freeken zip code !!!
Just like most of the certifications, they focus mostly on tools/flavor/methods of Red Hat based Linux.
It sould be called the Red Hat Standard Base, and the certifications should drop the "Linux" part of the name.
We need new standards that everyone can play with, and new certifications that cover the true base of Linux knowledge. ie.. Apache tests should be based on being able to build and configure it from scratch (your own init scripts, etc).
Not on how to click a button, edit a config file or two, and pray - That's an MCSE certification !
I would rather see more work done on reworking the whole/usr/bin thing. I have 2655 files sitting in there right now
Think how the last few thousand years of our collective knowledge would look if the media it was recored on only lasted 40 years.
Sure, the data people want to be preserved will be copied, spread around, and duplicated - but what about the data people in power DON'T want to be around.
You can bury a book, in a container, before it get's burned, and hundreds of years later someone can unearth it. Humanity needs to be able to do the same thing with digital media.
Canadians has been attenuated by 20% because of the federal privacy law PIPEDA which is so fearsome in nature that is scares off even the biggest- baddest spammers in other countries
so, when all the programmers go on strike, what's to stop the company from just up and moving its programming department overseas?
More importantly, what is to stop the company from giving in 'for now'. Only to spend the next year or two slowly moving the jobs overseas so that next time, they can't be hijacked by the Union..
If someone can and will do your job just as good as you, in the companies opinion for $5/hour, they you my friend are only worth $5/hour. The problem is that you live where $5/hour will not provide for a decent living, due to unions, duties, sanctions, blockades, other greedy bastards, etc..
I donated my money to be used to put a full page add in the NYT.. My guess is that that majority of the $250K was raised with that in mind.
If they are sooooo careful to make sure the ad will only cost $50K, what happens to the rest ?
Are they going to take out 5 Ads ?
Is the firm/group/individuals designing the ad doing it pro-bono, or are THEY collecting the remaining $200K ? If so that sounds pretty fishy to me - This is Firefox, not a Faith Healer Religious TV Hour:(
The point is that you cannot get at the contents of the memory at all (unless you have a silicon lab)
Yeah, that's the theory, but not the practice
Mess with the voltage, current flow, etc. and sooner or later you will be able to get it to glitch, and before you know it your walking around the memory map.
Since this is based on MS Code, their sleep deprived contract slave programmers have probably fscked something up, and you will be able to get in just by sending a carefully crafted datastream to sign.
Steal your USB Stick, steal your Smart Card, steal your thumb.. Pfft..
The only worthwhile info from this newsbyte is the plethora of things you probably can't do with.NET anymore because of the numerous bogus patents filed related to this device.
Maybe that is the answer--Apple should pick one and only one x86 desktop, video card, cd/dvd burner, and monitor combo and call it "OSX approved".
Uh... Then it would be an Apple x86, Apple ATI Video Card, Apple Philips DVD Burner, and Apple LCD Monitor. It would only be available from Apple, and would cost 5x more than it should.
Oh, and it might be translucent or squishy or whatever hip new bullshit they can do to it to justify its price to people with weak or damaged left brains.
Well, there is the obvious fact that there is no way that this will prove that the person is a 12 year old girl - just that the person has a key created for a 12 year old girl.
Remember the Pentium Serial number ? Remember the huge privacy concerns that the media lamented over then ? Heck, that was just to identify a specific CPU in the world. Now, any website, will be able to identify a specific individual on their site with the same identity used on ALL sites. Screw Cookies !
And you know that it will be available to any site that wants it, after paying the proper license fees.. Just look at the way cookies are handled for Joe Average with IE.
As an added bonus, the maketroids now get the names, gender and ages of a slew of kids to directly market to them while they are online.

Obviously you are some kind of Starbucks wanker. You would probably drink toxic sludge if it had an Italian name, and was more then $5.
Coffee is brown coloured water that tastes strange. Doesn't mater where you get it.

I read the description, and it sounds like this is a book about "Buy" not "Build"

Well, if that's what you love (Choice & Options), then doesn't it make sence to make it an choice for the user ?
Perhaps the user would have liked to have OS X available instead of RedHat ?
Heck, I would love to have OS X on my laptop...
So, after reading the patent, as I understand it, I am allowed to look up a Zip Code for my personal enjoyment, but if I do it for a web client sending a package to someone, I have to licence the right to look up the freeken zip code !!!

Extra power for my laptop, AND a way to burn of those pesky extra calories from those twinkies !!
Exactly !
