    i guess the several hundred tonnes of radiated equipment could be managed much more easily vs having millions of tonnes of crap being spewed into space every day from our current systems now right? Im not trying to sound like an anti free energy person but arent the chemicals used in solar panel production harmful as well? (or am i off the beaten track?

  6. The Facts: on Australia's largest telco to be split · · Score: 1

    Why this means good things for us aussies? It means that it also opens the book up for smaller providers to buy services from the wholesale provider, which in previous times has been pretty hopeless with telstra setting inflated prices and restrictive clauses with the installation of equipment and charging of services while maintaining an artificial pricing structure. Telstra retail will have to compete with optus, iinet, internode, etc etc on the same grounds. If wholesale does retail "favours", the ACCC will hone in on this and keep telstra in check.

    Very good article there, simple enough so that it just explains basic principles. Although im in a windows only shop, its good to see what you can do with linux with relative ease (although the same can be achieved with windows but using third party sofware that usually isnt free).

  16. Re:A step in the right direction on Linux Desktops in New Zealand Schools · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    i personally think its a step in the wrong direction. I work for the education department in my country (oz) and i can tell you this is a step in the wrong direction. There is minimal software on linux for students to use. Dont get me wrong there are some good packages but the majority (99.999%) of packages are only available on windows with a few of the more popular ones available on the mac. Its all good getting paid support but seriously when a teacher comes in wanting to purchase software that is windows only, wtf are the admins going to do? I believe in the right tool for the right job and personally through my years of experience as a learning tech co-ordinator, at a K-10 level windows is realistically the only way to go.

  21. Re:Wrong Approach on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    I can understand your point but what we did was put in a vpn. The faculty member then logs in from home/whereever via the client software and establishes a secure connection. They have then full access to the university resources via the vpn client.

  22. Re:Wrong Approach on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    BULLSHIT...the university owns the IP infrastructure therefore they dictate it...they should be the ones that separate internal vs external. Departments/schools do not own the infrastructure - they just "rent it". A windows/linux file server DOES NOT need to be externally accessed. Anything that needs to be public accessible could be placed in the DMZ. I also come from an Educational IT background working both for the education department and a prominent university in an infrastructure consultation role.

  24. Re:Wrong Approach on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    exactly...i question why their network isnt secured as a whole? It seems like the administration really doesnt have a clue. Why isnt there a DMZ for any servers that require outbound (externally) traffic? I mean come on any idiot admin could create a proper firewall even using something like ISA or any linux/*bsd solution, but as the OP said, the key is making the network secure rather than just a machine.

  25. Re:rims? on BT Plans Move To IP Telephony, Starting Next Year · · Score: 1
    I can only assume you mean DAC's? Where a cable is split into effectively 2 seperate lines (limiting your modem dialup to 28k, no matter what)

    exactly right but telco's have a tendency to split one actual line into two so you and your neighbour get 1 line each to save running 2 separate lines.
