If a network problem breaks down network 1, what is going to stop it from breaking network #2? If the problem was with the firmware in device#23a, the problem will reoccur on network 2 with device #23b
Yeah, they have some good stuff. The NSA's guides are more stringent tho - IIRC, the CIS folks recommend 90 day max password lifetime, while NSA sez 42.
I think for a cleanly wrapped up tool, you need to look at the high end market. There are some free tools that MS provices (MBSA, which is a gui hfnetchk), and also tools in the resource kits, but not one click and point tool.
The IPSec filtering is pretty lame. There is no logging capability, and when I tried bulk loading enourmous rule sets, it choked. It is an interesting hack, and might be use for odd scenarios, but as a general production tool, nope.
Everyone's infrastructure should be able to handle a 40MB email. The problem is, is if you allow it from external hosts, what stops someone from sending you 100 of them over a weekend to DOS your mail server when it runs out of disk?
ISOs are wasteful for OpenBSD. With the boot floppies images, and 3-5.tgz's totaling 40ish megs, you can have a fully functional firewall box. Even if you were installing X, and other desktop oriented niceties, there are 10ish.tgz in total, probably not eclipsing 200megs altogether. If they hosted ISOs, that is a 600 meg download.
OpenBSD has a CLI, but clean install routine. If you read the install directions, anyone can successfully install it via ftp, with only 50-200megs of net traffic.
Finally, they put in a ton of effort to have great man pages. Thus, the support base expects you to read before asking questions. Therefore, if you aren't willing to read the install guide to do a ftp based install, you aren't going to have much luck with the OS and its support community.
20k in home equity is something to sneeze at - in many places, that it simply one year of house price value increases. If you bought a 200k+ property within 50 miles of boston in 2001, you have that, even though your mortgage payments are all interest. If you bought the same property in 2000, you are probably sitting on a 35k+ equity stake.
All of the T is a two line system - that makes expressing and/or 24x7 operation damn near impossible. Repairs and dead trains mean irrecoverable loss of effective capacity.
Correct. One of the big debates is what to do with the "green spacE" that will be recovered when the central artery is destroyed, and this open area downtown results. No one seems to advocate affordable housing (I don't mean low income, I mean, 2 bedroom condos for under 250k). The space isn't contiguous - so people who advocate a model similar to the Ramblas of Barcelona, or more parks are crazy.
Boston is such a mess, and so bureaucratic that the only new housing is for the insanely rich because its such a bother to get anything built.
Uh no. Not everything is a conspiracy. US finservices companies now are required to log all email and IM for 6 years. Loging IM is probably a PITA because of all the different standards. It would make their life easier if they had one standard that they could easily log, use internally, and yet all use it for web based CRM stuff - allow customers to IM them for questions, etc.
The cpu race is as competitive as it has even been - AMD makes great product, Intel has been forced to keep up. Intel has done a good job of really tweaking out the p4 to continually boost raw mhz, as well as little tweaks here and there. Currently intel is probably ahead because it appears they can push the p4 a lot further than amd can the athlon cores
Windows hasn't dramatically required much more CPU - ram has been more critical. You can run both nt 4 and 2k (and I think xp) on as little as a pentium 133- but nt 4 will run decently with 64mb ram, whereas 128mb ram is a more comfortable minimum for win2k.
I don't think we were using monster, but when we were looking for project managers in NYC a few months back, we got about 200 resumes a day as the result of a few of these services (careerpath? i forget). So, yeah, you aren't getting a reply back unless someone wants to interview you, or has so many in house recruiters that they can spend hours and hours replying.
Uh, you could either disable them, or, you could have patched when the patch came out, or even two weeks after the patch came out. You just can't sit around and do nothing - ie, having thrown the cd in, installed the os, and made the web server serve pages is not an acceptible definition of making a web server.
Patching and/or disabling is a way of life - be it OpenBSD, or Windows 2000.
On sept 18th, I again sought to go to NYC, to finish what I intended to do on the 11th - replace a bad firewall. Went to logan in boston, without valid photo id. By showing my expired passport, and have the MA state police search my record, they let me fly without event. At logan, I had to power on my laptop, unbox the cisco pix, and was fully searched with a wand metal detector by a somewhat overzealous latina girl.
Fast forward 12 hours - trying to leave NYC at laguardia, I went to the gate, went through security, was not asked to unbox the firewall for the metal detector, was not asked to turn on the laptop, was not manually searched for metallic objects. I breezed through until I actually attempted to board the place - when I handed them my ticket and expired passport, usair flipped out. After talking to the supervisor, and quickly realizing that there was no way I was going to get on the plane, I tried to get some answers from the supervisor:
"If you require valid id from all passengers, is it US Air's corporate policy that all passengers 16 and under need a US passport (because they can't have driver's licenses) for domestic flights?" "no no no, you are different, you have id, you didn't bring it" "that has nothing to do with anything. I would like a answer to my question - I have two siblings (17 and 12), and I would like to know if they will be able to fly USAir, as they don't have drivers licenses" "blah, blah, blah" - basically, his body language and stammering said: I don't know what to say, basically, that, if we think you should have id, then you should have it. we won't discuss the qualifications for our assessing whether you think we should have id.
Basically, Logan was concerned about making sure that people were checked when getting on planes. Laguardia isn't too concerned abotu what you bring on, they just want to make sure that when it blows up, they have a good idea of who was on it ostiguy
I think it may be, or at least, IIRC openbsd wasn't willing to do that and risk the interpretation- I think they had someone go from Detroit to Canada to a specifically set up workstation to ensure that the code was thought of as being developed in Canada.
Why do people get so worked up over this? In reality, the world series isn't that awful of a name - name me a baseball club anywhere else that could compete with the us pro teams?
That said, there is some talk of a baseball world cup, and despite the typical Euro's unwavering belief that only Americans play baseball, it would be pretty awesome to see a us side play a dominican side.

You are correct, in fact, I am 99% certain that MS Outlook Xp sends out its calendar requests, etc by default in that format.
That said, I am an exchange bigot - exchange 2k's web mail + IE > 5 is the closest thing to a real mail client via the web.

Dell for one has 14 and 15s that do 1600x1200. They also have 14s and 15s that do 1400x1050.
Its probably just 1600x1200, just like the 15 inchers. Some people are hawking 14 and 15 inchers that only do 1024x768. ugh!
