Problems arise in both area's when you try cramming in features at the last minute. Scope/Feature creep are what makes systems (almost anything) indecure/unreliable and ultimatly unusable.
What we need is a SIMPLE mechanism for voting. This leaves fewer chances for something to go wrong. Don't let feature/scope creep factor into designing a voting system, especially when it's a new from scratch system.
I beleive that it is against human nature for journalists to NOT put their own spin into a story. They may not even recognize the slant in their own writtings.
It's be a good change if executives at amjor media outlets recognized this and put in check/balances for articles rather than hiring a bunch of people who have the same belief structure.
"Fair and balanced" may have a real meaning. Perhaps public non-profit organizations such as NPR could gain back some of their legitimacy.
I agree, a firewall will have a place for the forseable future.
The main point however is to protect against mis-configured equipment or old, unpatched equipment. Most big Oracle shops I've known like to run at least one major version behind on their OS platform and don't patch the OS regularly. It's not uncommon to see new implementations of Oracle going in right now with Solaris 8 or even 2.6 running Oracle 8i. They don't even touch the/etc/inetd.conf. This is where firewalls become very useful.

I appreciate the pointed questioning regarding MS and Sun's relationship.
"InfoWorld: So a Windows system could show up as an N1 resource?" "Stern: No, that's not part of the development plan."
Also interesting to note that Sun's executives position on Linux is "we will jump on it if corp. America puts their core IT budget money into it, otherwise we stick with Solaris".
I see a lot of what Sun's 2-4 year plan is in this article, or at least what they'd like it to be.
Is there a tool that can make FF the browser that comes up when *any* request for a brower is made by external programs? Example: I build a Win2k box for my Dad who uses netzero. Netzero will still launch IE for the web based emai.
Thier security mechanism is flawed iff what you are stating here is correct. The people in charge of this system need to investigate why FF "blows by" th e CAC.
I believe that the term "cleanest" is in reference to one of NetBSD's principle goals of creating truly portable code. Code which compiles and runs on as many different arch as possible with a minimum of #ifdef and such.
It's nice to see that you can easily patch an existing 2.0.51 installation, but if you are in an environment where there are any regular security audits they may ding you for a 2.0.51 installation even though it's been patched.
Overall, great job by the Apache team and those that support them!
Getting the software to work technically still doesn't alleiviate the legal responsibilities to pay for the software you're contracted/licensed to use. Oracle does not have *any* technical licenseing mechanism. But loading 9i or 10g on our E25k or even a Dell 650 is not legal unless Oracle agrees to license the software for that computer.
The average consumer can interperse the general meaning of "OpenTalk" where Rendezvous does nothing to describe what the technology does. Besides, peole don't like names they can't pronounce and makes them feel like idiots. "What is that?"

you can bet your a$$ that Oracle, BEA, IBM and most other "Enterprise" software infastructure providers will charge based on the CPU count that the OS sees, not on the physical number of ceramic packages installed in the box.
Makes me wonder what the market for the 16 core cpu's will be -- free software: free of licensing restrictions. J2EE implementations be wary of licensing costs!
I bought a P-I 200Mhz (without MMX) Sony "90" desktop. It had an add-on desktop called "Viao" I think - layed on top of Win95. It had "tilt-away" windows similar to what I'm conceptulizing this GUI to have.
Similarities? Did Sun take someone elses idea and improve it?
The Univac 1170's I worked on were built in 1978/79. they were replaced with a pair of 2200/600's in the early 1990's. I am pretty sure they had LED's on the master control panel. I still have some 8" floppy disks for loading the SP (service processor) and a 14" disk platter from a fixed disk. Some of the FE's would do interesting things to the hardware such as running a program that would make the tape drives hum different tunes, Chrismas tunes being the favorite. I got very good at slinging those 9-track reels. The interesting mechanical part was the high speed printers. They were band style line printers. It would print an entire line at nearly the same instant with 132 mechanical actuators. We went through a lot of green bar paper.
The weather forcasting did a lot of number crunching, so we used a Cray X-MP as a "math co-processor" to our mainframes. what a machine.
What a great experience - a punch card reader was right next to the disk cache cabinet. Univac consoles are still my favorite "clicky" style keyboards. The Univac 1170 had dials for choosing the tape drive for IPL, switches for the memory banks and a small black button to initiate the IPL. Lots of flashing LED's to tell us what was going on. This was to support weather forcasting in the USAF.
Sure - looks like they want to give away the software and the hardware, but I see it as a tactic to gain a renewable revenue. Sun may be planning on "giving" away the hardware, iff you sign a 3 year gold contract for it and "giving" away the software iff you sign a 3 year support contract.
Hope this helps my *bad* karma

How about a simple 2 flash card solution setup in a mirrored configuration - if one card pops, you still have data integrity. I'm sure there are many problems with this, but seems to be plausable on the surface. Minimal cost and a $1B project could be saved by such measures.

Why is it ugly?
What's wrong with programming with a standard?
Doesn't it make sense to write once - compile anywhere?

Step 1. Give away hardware + OS
Step 2. Sign contracts
Step 3. Profit!
Sure - looks like they want to give away the software and the hardware, but I see it as a tactic to gain a renewable revenue.
Sun may be planning on "giving" away the hardware, iff you sign a 3 year gold contract for it and "giving" away the software iff you sign a 3 year support contract.

How redundant is this setup? With the failure of the flash, it begs the question of "what if the CPU flakes out" and such.
