When off campus however is where the arguments are coming up these days
An example:
Yohnka said the courts have put strict limitations on students' freedom of speech within the schools. But districts need to be mindful of students' rights when they are outside the school, saying there are school districts overstepping their boundaries by trying to discipline students for behavior outside school hours.
A Pennsylvania student won a case that involved a suspension for his private blog that critiqued his principal's dress habits, speech and other matters.
"Ultimately the principal attempted to punish him, the kid ended up challenging the suspension," Yohnka said. "The court reversed the suspension saying essentially the kid had the right to comment in any way anyone else would outside of the school.
Everything he did he did outside of school. He used a computer from home. He used an account he created from home what was clear it was a personal activity," Yohnka said.
I really have no idea but maybe there's a public DB of ip blocks sorted by their country of ownership somewhere...
This resource, http://toolz.toolz4schoolz.com/geoip_aggregator.t4 s (I wrote it, please be gentle with it), allows you to compare results so you'll get a good overview of the main free and paid-for ones out there.
The 'free' ones are HostIP, Maxmind, and the IP2Country list. It's easy to download these and use them yourself (actually HostIP is about 300 megs so I haven't installed that at the above url). Then it compares the better services from Geobytes, IP2Location... and also ShowMyIP and DNSStuff... using iframes.
And how might this be done? You lose points for replying 'dns'. Also whois data is no quarantee and the free geo location services are unreliable. (The free ones seem to be just an aggregation of whois data.)
From TFA: SIDS -- the sudden, unexplained death of an infant under 1 year old -- is estimated to cause 2,500 infant deaths each year.
Guessed this was referring to the US only but I had to check. CDC page http://www.cdc.gov/SIDS/index.htm states: "Each year in the United States, more than 4,500 infants die suddenly of no obvious cause. Half of these sudden, unexplained infant deaths (SUID) are due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
For the UK, I found this BBC article http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4617976.stm which states "But still over 300 babies every year in the UK are dying as cot deaths" (the Brits seem to prefer the term 'cot death' to SIDS)... a 75% reduction after awareness was raised by a education campaign in 1991.
...and multi-level moderation. Some moderators more special than others and others checking on them too. Like DMOZ (or Cambodia circa 1977, depending on your frame of reference).
I just read about this on the BBC and they say it isn't due for lift-off until early July. So they expect to have it standing out there for nearly two months? What's the situation re the likely chance of a hurricane sweeping through the neighbourhood during that timeframe? Or is it safer there than where it was?
From the article: 'According to AOL executives, the most common requests in criminal cases relate to crimes against children, including abuse, abductions, and child pornography.

Yep, kind of what I was thinking. I imagine a sufficiently experienced/intelligent/devious operator would only have to perform one or two further sub-queries on that hashed information in order to find personally identifying information... and from there get the info that was encrypted via public sources, if necessary. How do you protect against this kind of (mis)use?
The satellite it crashed into was defunct. From Wikipedia: "The goal was to develop and demonstrate an automated navigation and rendezvous capability in a NASA spacecraft. Currently, only the Russian Space Agency and JAXA have autonomous space craft navigation.".
Interesting snippet: "NASA has said the official 70-page report will not be publicly released because it contains sensitive material protected by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)".
This was planned as a "high-risk*, low-budget" mission and I'm sure they learned a lot. (* I suppose high-risk in terms of likelihood of meeting up with the target, not of collateral damage.)
Triumph. Indeed some beautiful uses of fair use. Fair use to record the tv program to my hard drive... Fair use to convert the video format to one viewable by my cell phone... Fair use to stream it to my cell phone for my own personal enjoyment.

The entire project would almost certainly have been a complete and dismal failure had there not been massive subsidies from the French and British governments keeping the thing in the air.
Subsidies were not keeping them in the air. They were handed over to the airlines and the cost written off straightaway. Toward the end of the eighties and through the nineties they were a great success. British Airways would have snapped up more planes but couldn't as the jigs at the factory had been disassembled. What spelt the death knell was the two factors mentioned plus companies cutting down on sending executives on Concorde with the economic downturn of the late 90's. Also companies realised that as facilities improved and space increased on normal jets, executives get get work done while in the air - not a realistic proposition with in the relatively uncomfortable Concorde.

Firstly let's return to the requirements. You say your boss wants something "better" and you illustrate the point by mentioning an "outage". Okay we've got a little bit to go on there. Furthermore you talk about experience with "hosts". Think I might be able to guess where you're coming from here. Think we might be able to discount Linux.
Anyway, I digress: what exactly was getting to your boss? Was it "could not connect" messages that Outlook Express threw up? I suspect that was the big issue. The users aren't to interested in the vagaries of the SMTP protocol; they just want those damned messages out of their outbox. Answer: use a mass-market Windows mailserver like Mail Daemon. A monkey can install this and get it running.
That server should simply act as a waystation. Your main server should be *hosted* - ie in a data centre with fault tolerance, backup, fire prevention, what-not,...
This kind of hosting is dirt-cheap. It starts at about a dollar a month and goes up. Get two packages; 90% of 'outage' is simply down to incompetent staff wilfully wiping accounts as opposed to actual technical issues (like thinking payment hasn't been received when actually they botched their paperwork at their end). When this happens you move your DNS over to the other space *immediately*. Get two domains and 90% of the hassle associated with this scenario can be ameliorated as well.
I have experience working in another country with a repressive paranoid regime (not Middle East; not North Korea) and until about three years ago every non-well-known port was blocked plus - I can't remember exactly here - at least one or likely all of the 'time' ports. I don't think Slashdot has ever been blocked but quite a few websites still are (including Google Groups and Geocities). That's my perspective on the situation. Something about the vague wording of the originl poster's situation made me suspect it was a case of 'country' blocking - it struck a chord.
" Ask the morons in charge of the firewall to please open the NTP port and take the time to explain why this is important.
Take it up with management if said morons disagree."
I strongly suspect said firewall is placed at country level (think Arab countries, or North Korea) and said "morons" are the boyz from the Interior - or whatever - Ministry. Now you were talking about taking up with the "management"...?

1) I think the point being made was clear.
2) I don't think the article says where the server was; it just says the Germans had 'access' to it. Check Google News for more sources in English.

Aliens obviously use the plate to transmit geometrical patterns in an effort to contact us.

1) Don't use firefox
2) Write an extension. Similar to the one that lets you know if the target is a PDF file or opens a new window or whatever...
