FFS, why are these military networks even accessible via the Internet? Shouldn't they be on their own network infrastructure - completely inaccessible from outside the military?
What about a non-typical projectile? Do non-typical projectiles somehow avoid gravity during some point of their flight? Can you cite some peer-reviewed sources to substantiate this ridiculous inference of yours?:p
... don't they? They can do whatever the hell they want with their network, including monitoring, shaping, filtering, or whatever. If students are that worried about privacy, they can get their own private connections.
Engineering Culture worldwide has been completely usurped by the marketing and quick-buck executive paradigm. I've been working in engineering for a decade and the notion that a product should work properly before it is released has been thrown out the window and splattered on the street.
"Get it out the door, and worry about issues later," is the mantra. Final Product Release has become the new Beta Test phase. One look at GMail and you'll see what I am talking about. GMail has been in "Beta" for what, 5 years now? And they're charging people?
The iPhone is another prime example. The first release was just a Beta or dare I say Proof of Concept. It didn't even support 3G and had mountains of issues.
They're all down at the Student Union playing on one of the free public XBoxen they demanded the school provide them. Not to fret, though. None of them will be late to their 9pm meeting of the "Entitled Youth of America" task force.
Corporations are not required by law to be responsible. They are required by law to be greedy.
It is the Law that corporate officers must act to maximize shareholder value, not to gallivant around the world pouring investor dollars into impractical investments that cannot hope to ever pay a return.
My business depended on GMail, and yes it was down, but for a hell of a lot longer than 2.5 hours. It was more like from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon.
Yes, I do pay for their services. And no, we will not be depending upon it any longer. "Testing" code on a production environment is just bone-headed, and I am quite frankly getting tired of the constant "Some features have failed to load..." (... because we're testing new code that doesn't work) messages.
Have you ever played with Ubuntu Studio? I use it at home for precisely what you are describing here, except you can make high quality recordings and mixes.
Ubuntu studio comes with Ardour, and if you couple that with a good 96kHz 24-bit sound card like an m-Audio 1010LT or something, you'll have a near pro-quality workstation sans any crap from Microsoft...
I wonder if this will include taxing downloads that transit various internet assets located within the state... i.e. a customer in PA downloads a song from a provider in ME, but the data transits a router in New York. Technically, NY could go after it, I suppose...
Yeah, because I get hacked all the time on my open-source operating system.
Is Windows even *capable* of being up for ~300 days?
I wonder what MS is telling people about the multitudes of embedded devices out there that run Linux? Is MS telling people that their Cisco Home-tier stuff is vulnerable? Hmm?
I've had to deal with this FUD before with my clients. All it usually takes is an explanation that open source code is constantly being peer-reviewed and patches usually come within a day of discovering an error, whereas Microsoft takes weeks to months to patch the majority of their serious security flaws, and there is no external review process, so you never know if the patch is good.
I even ran a demonstration for a client once. I plugged a Windows box directly to the Internet (with Windows Firewall ON) and went for lunch with the client. The windows box had not only crashed during that time, but was completely un-bootable when we returned. I then plugged in the Linux router, and it has been on ever since... about 299 days, 10 hours, and 52 minutes.
The 3-fold clocking scheme will only really help on interleaved burst reads. The memory cells don't charge the output buffers any faster just because you clock them at a higher rate. This is why the nCLK latencies scale with the number of folds in DDR scheme. The only things that will make the cells charge faster are a) higher voltage or b) smaller process or c) a more conductive semiconductor chemistry that lowers resistances and increases currents on the wafer.
If you can have 3 banks of DDR3 interleaved by 1 clock then you can probably see some significant gains on sequential (aka burst) reads. In real life, this doesn't happen very much, especially in a multithreaded environment where almost all s/w is written using high-level foundation classes with very little machine optimization.
Why do I want the late-comer to the market when my phone does this perfectly today? You know the first version of it is going to be buggy as hell and probably not even work right. Look at the first iPhone that wasn't even 3G... and the "innovative" 3G version doesn't even work half the time and sucks battery like a cheap hooker.
*sigh*
Apple is hopelessly behind the mainstream of product development.

I imagine most running injuries are caused by a lack of wisdom rather than a lack of proper equipment.
You would never get 100A at 14V out of a Peltier device that weighed less than your alternator.
Given we now know the CO2 impact of traffic on the Internet, I almost can't believe we're incrementally destroying the Earth over this..
Sun = Poorly run company with great products
Oracle = Masterfully run company with shitty products
I wonder how that DNA is going to come together...

There are more reliable providers out there...
Okay cool.. well, given the sketchiness of the article, I wouldn't put too much stock in it...

After all, to get paid thousands of dollars per week to sit around dreaming up new ways to be an asshole to people...

What about your network? If you leave the network unencrypted, you may as well not bother encrypting any of the machines.

When I was at Georgia Tech, we named our network down at the Woodbury radio astronomy facility after famous astronomers throughout history.
Later, when I got my job after grad school, we named a network at my R&D lab after historical painters.
My machines at home are named after historical cyclists.
