I've read about chroot, and even set one up a while ago, but more or less just using the howto. Are Solaris Zones similar to the chroot setup in Linux?

Obviously you cropped the picture. Sure he's got his shoulder devil whispering to him on one side, but you cut out the other side where you can see his shoulder angel! That's slashdot for you...
You work with computers all day every day, you work with people constantly but don't have to understand how they work.
You just need to learn about colors, shapes, and eventually how to express yourself by creating websites that are 100% Macromedia flash that only other graphic artits will be able to use because of the 4 pixel boxes that you choose as your user interface while the rest of the screen looks like someone tried mixing some paint with the lids off. Learn the art of useless yet exciting shapes and how to make pages flash and cool looking "please wait" screens.
All kidding aside, I have several not-to-techie friends who went this route. As much as they don't understand computers, they still create some frikin weird shit that I could never do myself.
As recently as six years ago, the beer industry was a technological laggard. Distributors and sales reps returned from their daily routes with stacks of invoices and sales orders, which they'd type into a PC and dial in to breweries. They, in turn, would compile them into monthly reports to see which brands were the hottest. But Anheuser changed the rules in 1997, when chairman August Busch III vowed to make his company a leader in mining its customers' buying patterns.
Seriously wasn't just about everybody "discovering" the internet back in 1997? Huge databases, handhelds submitting orders via cell phones... Almost no one was doing that before because it was too expensive and the infrastructure just wasn't there. Not that this isn't a cool data mining operation, but almost everyone was still using paper 10 years ago.
Search Engines definately give rank to domains which contain your keyword in them. Tons of sites out there seem to have figured this out to make searches useless. There are tons of "keyword.useless-site.com" dictionary pages out there.
I would really like to see the search engines be able to figure out that certain pages make no sense. They read like something from the old SNL subliminal man skits. Or site that bounce you somewhere else as soon as you arrive.
This Inforworld Article is much better then the one posted and mentions how this new Microsoft Idea is very similar to the existing SPF, except that with Microsft's version, the whole message is sent and downloaded before it's rejected.

Legislation will not work. Will never work. Email is too easy to fake, and to hard to track, and to entrenched to change. When you do track it down it's coming from zombie machines.
Current Anti-Spam laws are like passing a law that you can't fast forward through the FBI warnings on a VHS tape. You need new hardware and protocols like DVD before pointless laws like that can work.
SMTP+SPF will work much better. I have thousands of email spam for training my filters. Only *3* of them are not from forged addresses. If most sites on the internet published MX and SPF records, then we could be reasonably sure that the email came from a the correct site. I could block that whole domain, and then they would need a whole new domain for each batch of spam as filters get updated. Once major sites like MSN, Yahoo and AOL decide they will ONLY accept email from domains with SMTP+SPF records the rest of the world will be forced to add those records. Especially spammers because those moron to user ratio is generally high in those markets.;)
"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". In other words the only way Government can think of to fix things is to pass laws, or apply taxes, or blow shit up.
Try passing a law in your house that sending you Junk Snail Mail is a crime. How do you intend to enforce it when the sender doesn't live by the same rules? That's the situation we have with email.
I would be worried about the heart getting stronger. It would be nice in old people maybe, but you wouldn't want your blood pressure to suddenly double.
They are subtle overlords. If we experiment on them and things go well then obviously it's something they are suggesting we should be doing to ourselves.
I write software for doing inspections. We've used tablet PC's for about 5 years when they used to be about 5 grand and run windows 98. Since then we've gone to PocketPC's which are much nicer.
Anyway, Compaq T-1000...
The good.
* Built in WIFI, Ethernet, Most any port you want * Very cool flip/fold keyboard that is detachable for true tablet PC usage * Decent handwriting recognition * Fast processor * Change between landscape and portrait mode was very nice for notes and reading.
... the bad * Screen sucks outdoors - total washout in daylight. Pretty good under indoor flourscent lights. * Heavy. After several hours cradled in one arm so you can write with the other it a pain. Only useful in laptop mode or on a flat surface. Walking and using not gonna happen easily. * Battery life averages 3 hours of constant usage with WIFI enabled. * The Pen. Only the magic pen works on the screen. You find yourself wanting to write on paper, or tap the screen with your finger, but have to constantly switch back and forth. The spring on the pen holder is quite strong and can launch the pen if you bump it in certain positions. Never would slip out, but could shoot out wrong. Don't lose it or your tablet PC will be just a laptop. Replacements are only mail-order in my area.
I checked a few out at best buy, etc but they seemed the same.
My opinion would be to get an ultralight laptop the 1" or less thick kind with serparate CD and floppy drives. They have a nice keyboard, long battery life, light weight, better screens, networking, etc. The other stuff you need like CD burner etc are in your base station.
TabletPC's are not worth the money, and don't seem to have much of a future. To big to be portable, to flaky for a laptop. You have been warned.
Part of obtaining Palm Certification for your software involves surviving the Gremlins. You can't use the Palm logo on your program without it. It's even built into their emulator right on the menu. And yes you find some weird shit.
If this thing is so easy and cheap, I wouldn't use it as certification that confidential documents haven't been tampered with. The same scan that could be done to verify the papers were legit would also allow you to get the get the RFID, then just print the same RFID paint on your new documents.
It's just a RF barcode. It lets machines read things a little bit easier. There is nothing very secure about it, especially once it becomes widespread.
The biggest change I forsee is that the cashier at the grociery store - if they still have a job - won't have to touch anything. The conveyor belt will scan all the food as it goes down to the bagger, and probably your RFID Credit Card too.
The Sims Online is a perfect example of why it is better to wait for a polished product rather then toss your current crap out just to hit a ship date. Sure you lose money with extending the ship date, but you will NEVER make your money back if you release less then stellar products on time.

Domain Names.
