While i see the issue i normally hardly see it necessary or even advantageous nowadays to run my own e-mail server, neither on my home machine nor on my machine at work/university. Email servers are something which required you seeing available for 24x7 in case somebody starts (due to some misconfiguration or bug in the software) to use your machine as a relay for his spam. You can get yourself quite easily blacklisted nowadays, so if you are interested in your email arriving at the recipients, just use some big mail service.
if your employer does not have to assume you are the only one there, he will be more careful in making judgments. if you are called "Mark Smith" for example i would not worry, nobody will draw conclusions.
Hmmm you can record you life on a carry-on camera you carry around. A knowbot indexes it for you and after you agree with the indexing you swallow this drug. After that use google desktop to search you memories.
Yes. people are building it all the time. Everybody is free *not* to make IP connections to computers he does not have a proof of thrust. You can use SSL, make your VPN, authorize against smartcards - iff you want. IPv6 adressed a lot of issued, end even if i am not a specialist, it seems that you can extend it.
Most Security and other problems ascribed to the Internet are in reality organizational issues, like establishing chains of thrust, like allocating resources for a fixed use (no, fixed BW does not come for free), planning ressources in general, education on different levels of hierarchy in the management (*before* making a decision), poor handling of responsibility (just because your former employee can connect to your computer, there is no need to let him log in. Unless you are doing something wrong.).
As a matter of fact, hoping that a technology solves problems for you, is stupid. To expect from smdy else to do you work is stupid. I for my part would say that basing the access controls to you companies computers onto something like "a driver license" issued by some underpaid city employee (remember if this is a "internet" and not only a "first world net", you will have poor countris as well issuing whatever is necessary to "accept a small loss in freedom". How do we handle the "axis of evil" states? Will some bureaucrat in some office decide which packes pass the the border and which dont, or can i still do that myself. And if i can to that myself, what is the difference to accepting some thrust centers certificates and not accepting some others?
mathworks has been doing that for decades now. They are extremely friendly when a customer gives them a bug report and tells them the place in their code where the bug is buried.

Thats pretty much the same for space programs in the west.
Probably transition to other databases is pending immediatly and will be a matter of months. The big database companies will die soon. Just outsource rewriting billions of line of code to India and programmer newbies who have not such fixed ideas yet. This will work out great.
To be realistic, packet switching networks have made a lot of sattelleite technology obsolete. Only navigation and observation satellites are needed in principle.
Honestly, i am sure this is how many "we have to hit the shelfes before 8am yesterday , because this chipset is now the cheapest one"-drivers for windows are developed. Copy and paste everything into your driver instead of defining the dependencies correctly. After all in the end it is a single dll which may be several megabyte of size, nobody looks into that anyway. Nobidy cares in five year. until that time, recommend to everybody using the recovery CD. If things break by an windows update, it's clearly MS fault, isn't it? BTW. MS never certified the driver, so MS clearly says its the manufacturers fault. Just turn of the acceleration - good luck.
In this game there a now three compnaies involved, all of which want to earn money. And the customers of none of the three companies care right now about this driver issue.
-Dell: Customer is happy with Ubuntu, turned it on, worked. When ubuntu upgrades the kernel, dell will pay the driver developer -Driver developer: copying and pasting saved some time, specification most likely said: should run on ubuntu. Dell is obviously happy -Intel: Dell as a customer is happy to buy cheap parts.
Why? Is our solar system that big? I was under the impresssion, that even with conventional drives, it would be possible to reach any planet in our system in a reasonable time. Even c/1000 would be fine, i guess.
And excuse me: i firmly assume that c is the limit.
My different generations of meas and evaluation software stacks
Measurement software:
0) C 1) C/perl/java evaluation 2) C/java/jython evaluation:matlab 3) matlab/labview (connected by http+xml+xslt) 4) matlab with DAQ+instrument control toolbox 5) C/tcl evaluation:matlab; real time plotting: gnuplot
C was only used to bind non-preexisting daq functions. I dont write GUIs in C. For GUIs i prefer java, and the best free combinations i used were 2) and 5) would i be free to choose i would use 2), however in the environment i am currently working some co-workers write in tcl, so i found in more productive to learn tcl. (Not because of my productivity, but learn fast. However, one more conflict in the group could have killed the group. This selection was purely driven by social purpose - i gave to say: sucessfully.).
Otherwise the general idea would be that to use java and implement the GUI in java and the scripting languange in one of the many languages existing on the top of java. If you use a standalon scriptiong language for performance reasosn (i tested that once, but i could affot to go without it): python is a great choice for semi-numerical (and numerical) programs.
For evaluation i used and
1) perl 2) python 3) octave 4) matlab
1-3) each plotting with gnuplot. I know there are other solutions around, but when i tested them, gnuplot was always the rock-stable, feature-rich workhorse (think: LaTeX friendly output: epslatex - great in combination wit a makefile for you figures in a thesis!), with the only disadvantage of some things beeing historically grown.
4) is great, but do yourself the favor and alway try to keep the core functionality working in octave. I mean matlab is a great product, but you may prefer not to tie yourself to a package which costs than much money (think about what will happen after you leave your current univerity? do you still want to access you old data?). My current strategy is to keep the functions loading experimental data/evaluating it working in octave, and gui functions in matlab (only exception: i use the statistical toolbox moderatly. I could rewrite the function i use, but it would take a week. I am working in a reasearch company, and here it is more reasonable to buy the toolbox.
Oh. and by the way from time to time i am misfortunate enough to work in labview. it is a PITA. My personal experience say: rewriting the program in another language usually saved time.
Wow. Wait until the conventional, platform-bound programmers who write these non-networked programs because they are too stupid hear from this Web 2.0 Idea. I cant expect it to see this feature in other Mail-Programs
Webmail sucks.
The millions of idiots who use it as their main mail client suck.
Companies who want to use it to lock in cusotmers by bundling user interface, network protocol and their own service suck even more.
No. It just takes ambition, as most things on this planet. Being not completely stupid helps, but i think from the viewpoint of knowledge 90% of the IT professionals could create a botnet, if they invested the Energy to do so.
Why all this flaming. Linus always has been a man who in most cases said that he will use what works best in a real situation. He also seldom spoke without respect on the solutions he disregarded, usually plainly pointing out why specifically he doesn't like it. So when he says he doesn't like the *current version of* some software, thats not the end of the world.
a) can she search your backpack? No my personal guess is that this qualifies as theft.
b) can she make restrictions that you may not publish your notes? Yes. Many universities and schools state that lectures may not be published. Depending on the statutes the amount of rights remaining with the lecturer may vary.
c) can she ask you to delete your notes? yes, she can, however i see absolutely no way how this could be more than a question. No way to enforce it. What you wrote down in a lecture is yours, normally (however i am not a lawyer...). See the
d) Is there more behind? Depending on you type of school it may be easy to sue the school for such a practice. Since the teacher profits from it, and it may be a systematic and well planned (to sell scripts or books) and unusual action, it has if you where unaware about it when signing in, very well be something which (at least in Germany) could be "Vorteilsnahme im Amt" = you have an additional profit from a job you are doing for the state. Another thing could actually be that she asks you to delete the notes because she neglected some copyrights.
You just left the complicated and powerful interfaces undocumentes and left it to thick books to reverse-engineer and analyze them. When something was wrong, you blamed the external author.
Excuse me. 99% of the software i am running was cryptogrpahically signed. apt-get does that and it informs me when things are wrong. The download-orgies under windows where you have to go to a different website for each fucking small tool you need to install make the overall process more error-prone, because nobody actually signs his programs.

Something like that.
The pensieve is the "beta"-version for that...... I find it awkyard to use and it has a lack of access control....
