There is one very fundamentally true statement here.
If there IS a major security issue with a single distributation of Linux, the Open Source Community can sometimes be alot slower to react because of its design.
Distributations such as Red Hat don't apply because they are a single source of patch and have dev teams that would work on fixes and patches, BUT if companies use ones such as Slackware or Debian, they might find the patches don't roll in fast enough for their comfort.
Flame me all you want from your parents basement, but I am still a network engineer with experience implimenting all these things for MANY years.
ps. CMDTaco you are a petty bastard for -1'ing me for not agreeing with GWB on Iraq.
I don't know what your specific responsibilities are, however, there are a few easy to follow guidelines for any IT Manager:
1) Treat your people like you want to be treated. Simple and the most effective method.
2) Underestimate your budget requirements by about 5% for every 1/4 issues. Nail the budget right on for the other 3/4. This will allow you to increase your budget year after year without making you look incompetant.
3) Pick your fights carefully. You might want to goto bat for your 'normals' all the time, but this is a bad move, don't forget you are entering a new 'peer' group, and you want to fit in with them.
4) Be a sycophant 40% of the time, but rely on your knowledge and experience for the other 60%
5) You either have it or you don't, don't think you can just read a Tony Robins book and be the best manager ever. If management choice you to become one of them, then they must see something in you. Find that strength and build on it.
Thats all I can think of now. YOu'll probley never read this because likes to troll his readership to -1 land like a BAD manager.
Its interesting, because when I am in my house in Canada I work with 2 x 17" CRT's and 1 x 22" CRT. I find my sleep was affected significantly. When I'm out I work on 2 x 19" LCD and I find it easier to get away from the computer, my eyes don't ache, I don't get head aches, and I don't have sleep problems.
It makes sense though, concidering how much raw energy a CRT shoots into your eye balls.
If that is the case, then Ashcroft should be liable. I mean, he is calling these people theives, when that clearly is not the case. This would be like me calling him a war profiteer... oh wait.. that is true.
Actually, I used all the services that you are talking about, and found them to be VERY substandard and excessivly expensive compared to my current register.
I use Joker.com btw. They give me full control over my domain. And when I say full, I mean FULL. I like that, there isn't any "we're going to dumb this down" bullshit in my way. If I want to create and control my DNS, they let me. etc.
I think you've lived under a rock for too long, time to come out and see the light of day.
I used to have 1TB of music which was ruffly 400,000 songs, and I *accidentally* blew it away when I had a few too many vodka soda's and attempted some 'maintainence':-P
Either way, this guy should seriously get some pro hardware to keep it 'preserved'.
Of the old addage about "Don't underestimate the bandwidth of a stationwagon filled with data"
If you estimate the size of the average 200GB SATA drive as being.02 cf and a van as having 309 cf thats 15500 drives approx. Thats 3 PB of data:-)
Now if the van were traveling from new york to seattle at an average of 50 MPH what is your bandwidth? hehe

The reason why they would or could offer the higher rewards on spammers is simple: The cost of the spam traffic is felt directly in the economy with filters, time wasted, bandwidth etc. What is the extent most top 10 fugitives impact the economy? Very little I bet for the most part.
wow, that certainly flys in the face of MY professional study of my own 22 servers (15 AMD's and 7 INTEL) over the last 3 years! I have had 3 INTEL proc's die, and nay one AMD?
I guess the $1000's I saved on buying AMD over Chipzilla bought me those extra servers anyways.;-)
I know this doesn't fit with your situation exactly, but I would like to take this opportunity to say that Microsoft Operations Manager is actually a VERY kewl product. I ran it up in a test environment in my house to test its abilities, and found it to be the most comprehensive event tracking, databasing, solving, and tag collector for large and small industry alike. So if you ever need these diagnositic abilities outside of small/individual PC work, then try MOM out.
Since noone here has linked it, I think that Marshal Brains take one things is interesting, as it directly relates to this. He has two papers, one is a fiction called MANNA and another more fact based look at robotic automation called Robotic Nation That deals with some of this stuff.
Good read either way.
of people like me. I just walked from my former job as the head of IT for a financial place, and guess who owns a huge chunk of thier IP? Thats right. Because it was also my company that subcontracted out to them to get this stuff created in the first place, I now own the IP for their entire operation. So I think it is fair to assume that most companies are trying to avoid situations like this.
Bloody things, I hate them and want them to die a horrible painful death. I haven't used them for like 5 years, but I still run into people that won't let them go for CD's or DVD's now:( grrrrr...
I was 'red flagged' by my ISP Shaw Cable in Canada. They let me know exactly what my usage was, 80GB downstream and 50GB upstream that month. All I got was a phone call, and I told them that I was sending and recieving home movies. I was actually running a public FTP portal, but that is something else.
Long and short of it, they never called back, but there are no real 'limits' on the personal accounts up here when I signed up. There are now though, 10GB both ways. So that kinda sucks.
Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. I was using the simple home brew racks and had it all in the front room, but I ended up having to move to a 2 bedroom place so I could have an office because my girlfriend hates the hum and blinking lights:-P I think it sounds and looks like startrek at night...
