They figured out that the old network stack was starting to get too secure and not something they could live with! Not wanting to break the trend of security problems they went ahead and rewrote the code from scratch
While you bring up an important point there is also another point - that of DNS. If you have a server called "internal" that you can acces anywhere on your network by using that name you have a DNS server running someplace (or a hosts file) on the machines in question. You are going to be able to override the rest of the internet if you do this BUT now these websites will be inaccessible from your own private network since they direct to someplace else.
So though you are right this will cause problems it will be more from trying to reach the websites, not with trying to reach an internal site. So while I am against this because it is going to cause a lot of problems the breaking on intranets is not as big of a deal.
The researchers in this article took as close to a scientific method as one can get for something like this.
This just tells us exactly what has been know for away, yahoo just plain sucks at giving good results.
Where did you purchase your textbooks? Most semesters that I take end up costing well over $500 for books with one semester over $800. While it is true you can save some money by purchasing used textbooks they are always changing around the texts so you have to purchase a new version of that $200 book.
That being said I would like to see you just try and read one page from a textbook on that little screen, it would take forever as you have to scroll every other sentence. It would also be pretty hard to display any pictures or diagrams, especially those that require color.
Laptops are pretty common at most colleges today and with the cost of textbooks if they did start moving to all online textbooks you might as well just use your laptop and save your eyes!
While it does look like a nice device for chatting I cannot see it doing much more. The idea of taking notes on something that small is impossible for most classes where you are moving pretty fast. I ended up getting a laptop with a full size keyboard so that it would be easier to type.
I am all for little devices running linux but I do not see this exact device being used for anything like textbooks. With a lot schools (high school and college) implementing WIFI it will however be a great distraction from what is being taught...
Firewalls are still important in the entire security model. I do a lot of working on shared servers that host websites and have found a firewall can stop a lot of headaches. When some users script gets compromised and a script kiddies goes to send out a DOS of some sort the firewall can block it. I have found that the firewall is more important for exgress monitoring for this type of market but it is very valuable.
While it is true people have the wrong image of a firewall they are still very useful when used correctly. Security is not just a single thing you do to a system but many different layers and the firewall plays into that field. It is also a lot easier to just block some script kiddie at a firewall if they keep trying to brute force a server. I think I am going to keep my firewall for a little longer:)
I was just talking about this with an Australian friend. Here in the US most phones are pretty cheap but over there the prices are horrible. A very low end and basic phone will run around $700. Now I am not sure on exchange rates of if they were talking in Australian/US money but the point it the prices are much higher.
Hopefully the cell phone companies do not start raising the prices of service. I can stomach a new phone if I had to but the current trend of inexpensive phones that you replace frequently works for me.
True but as a civilian in iraq you can carry a weapon. In fact many of the firms that are inside of Iraq have to provide thier OWN security! There was a story awhile back about 8 guys killing 200 attackers and suffering no casualties. They were all retired military working for a contracting company.
Now latest case was in Saudi which really starts to blend the lines of where the war really is.
I would say it is up to you if you want the risk. This is just like the wild west in so many ways. You can go and make a profit but you might turn up dead. You have to weigh out all of the options and see if it is worth it...
As for me IF I went, which I don't personally think it would be worth it right now, I know that I would be toting my assault rifle with a pistol for backup...
Sprint has recently become much better about that. I think the new termination fee on most of the plans is only $150. Most times they give you rebate nearly that for a phone. Now I probably would not spend as much on the phone without the rebate but the point is the fee is not horrible.
Of course it would be much better if all cell phone companies were better to deal with!
I do the same thing, though right now it is trying to connect. Here on campus they decided to limit us to 80k/sec down BUT no throttle the upload...so I have a full 10MBit upload:) I will download it and then leaving it running for a week or two transfering 600-800k/sec all of the time without any complaints from the computer people. Gotta love university bandwidth!

Read the parents website, apparently the heat alone is not enough to sterilize it. Apparently even though 1/4 of Vikings budget was spend on sterilization they still think that some viable spores survived the entire trip to mars.
It really makes you think after reading that article how very possible it is to really be safe from extraterestial material.
I am freshman at Wake and we were told that we would have wirless this year. Well as the person above pointed out we are just now getting the wireless almost a year later. I have noticed WAP's all over the school so they should have very good coverage once it is up and running.
Wake already gives all freshmen a laptop and replaces it at the begining of the Junior year so when they get this system up and running Wake should get a decent rating. They are also going to redesign the network at the school and this time actually laying it down like a real network:)
Yea but if you have ssh open with this it is just another layer of security. It is hard to truly secure a box with no openings and this is just one more thing that will trip people up. If you implement this and somebody tries to brute force your password or something it would certainly take longer (if they are not locked out because so many tries first).
In todays world it is just one more tool that can be added to the computer security arsenal.
Hell it would not even be a bad back door to your own box. Imagine a remote box and you upgrade ssh...but it fails. You simply portknock and have some odd port with telnet open up. You just saved yourself some money and time of having somebody go and fix the server from the console.
I really think that it was a bad decision to fund this SCO campaign against linux. All that money is goign to be used to fund some other lawsuit against a smaller company. Though no exact figure has been give the above poster linked to an article where SCO said it was over $1 million. SCO might already have alot of money but if they keep getting payoffs like that they will be able to go after anybody. I wish ev1 had not done this.
That being said it was a business decision and we all have to trust that HS made the correct decision. In the past he has broken many barriers and helped bring down the prices in the dedicated server market, he has to be doing something correct as they finish the new datacenter tomorrow. So even though I am against it I can see that from a business standpoint they were doing it to just end the debate now and get it over with...while helping sue another poor company that will not have the resources that ev1 has.
The root of the matter is the legal system, such friviolus lawsuits need to just get thrown out. Germany just stopped SCO from doing anything else in their country, now we just need to do that here. If you get burned by coffee its your own stupid fault, if it was cold you would probably complain that it was cold and demand another cup! The world we live in is sue happy and the lawyers/legal system do nothing but promote it!
They started off donig linux servers so how do you know how long they took to deploy linux? As far as the windows servers they had been looking at it for a few months before actually deploying them with MS techs comign and all. Unless you work at ev1 you cannot be sure how long they started plans to deploy them. In the new datacenter they just finished the windows servers were the last to get setup. As far as the setup time, the disks are all images from a master so once they setup they are pretty quick to deploy.
Not being rude or anything but those claims do not make any real sense.
What is the big deal about this? Sure if you use the new codec its going to be protected but what is to stop somebody from using cd-ripping software from today without it or just using a different codec? Its a good idea but there does not seem to be any point about it other then service like itunes can distribute smaller files but still have the DRM on it.
Another good idea but it seems to be rather pointless and useless.
Along with alot of people who have posted above I am an ev1 customer and I hope that Robert goes against sco with everything he can. ev1servers has proven time and time again that they will fight for the end user and have done alot of industry breaking things in the price market. Now they get to face sco...should be interesting
I am all for open source and I would love to see mysql used for this but sometimes products like Oracle would work better. It can be scaled alot easier and better, especially when you are talking about such a huge database. On top of that its also alot easier to have somebody to point a finger at when it breaks, sure mysql you can talk with some developer or admin but thats it. I am all for open source but sometimes the government just wants to spend more of our hard earned money. If linux can get into the desktop enviroment and work its way into government offices they would probably be more receptive to open source. All sorts of other governments, we are just a little slow...that word free in the same word as government spending such a wierd thing afterall!
It would be interesting to see how the database reduced crime unless they did something like somebody posted above by creating trend maps.
Not only that but when you die your blood pressure will go down. If you take the eyes out of somebodies head the eyes are probably going to deflate. I remember back in bio lab we were disecting some cow eyes and they were not all that around and the shape readily changed.
I wonder about the macular degeneration and stuff though, that would change the retina and possibly make it reject the person unless they constantly update it.
That sounds about right its very expensive to fly any fighter jet. I remember back in the very early 80's it was well over one million dollars to train a Air Force fighter pilot.
It would be a very nice lawn ornament and unless you had alot of money would remain that. On the other hand it would be something for those people that have everything...right next to the aircraft carrier.
So does that mean that all the users that use outlook could also fall prey to this?
Send out spam with image and if the outlook user has auto preview on, which they probably do they now can be exploited by whatever code. That would be an interesting concept that would lead to alot of trouble.
Sure IE5 is old...but lots of people still use it.
That makes more sense, I would expect Apple to give Pepsi some deal on it as the users have to install itunes.
Of course college students might install this and figure out they can stream all the music they want over the university lan. Then if any of them discover mytunes...
When you turn on a electronic device a small amount of electromagnetic radiation is emmited. Basically they fear that if lots of people turn on stuff during a takeoff or landing then the landing instruments may have trouble operating. That is why today you are not allowed to turn on anything electronic until ~10 minutes after take off and have to turn it off before landing...the pilots want to be able to use the instruments. I have heard stories of how some instruments have screwed up during landing but nobody has ever confirmed what caused it, the pilots have enough backup instruments its not a big deal. They might as well prevent it though since its simple enough to tell everybody to turn all the electronics off.
