VPN in tranport mode encrypts the payload. VPN in tunnel mode encryptes the entire packet.... or something
Maybe I'm confusing terms, Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) is part of TLS or IPSec or something... when I read about it (some time ago) I got the impression that it encrypted (at least part of) the header.
Not that it matters, the NSA will end up doing whatever they want with Bush in office - he'll simply bend his powers to make it happen as long as he can sell it as fighting the war on privacy.... er, I mean terrorism.
How much traffic reaching that room is encrypted? If you're thinking of TLS doesn't each hop need to at least decrypt the header to get the routing informaiton?
Of course, I'm sure the NSA could *somehow* get a copy from each commerically/publically availabe CA if they really wanted to.
If you couldn't get to the results Google delivered, why would you use it?
If you're not using it why would a company targeting the Chinese market advertise with Google?
It just makes business sense for Google to cater to Chinese consumers to make the Google product relevant to them and thus Google has a far better chance to make a buck then say Microsoft (especially with the rebel Linux contingency hoping to gain a foothold in a market with a potential BILLION consumers).
IMHO, if Linux wants to challenge M$, winning the desktops in China would give them the opportunity to do so. If Google becomes the default search engine in China like it has the rest of the world, it will build confidence in branding and if/when Google delivers a Linux based Google-integrated (mail, office suite, AV, IM, Gdrive, etc) OS... look out!

Right now I have 2.7GB storage on GMail. I don't need a client with GMail. I can access my GMail from home. I can access my GMail from work. I can access my GMail from my phone. GMail is yet to allow a piece of spam into my inbox.
I admint to never using WebPine, but can it meet those 6 things?
Hey GMail, build in a POP/IMAP client so I can get ALL my email in one-east-to-use interface.... please?
Just because Microsoft says you can't do something doesn't mean they're right.
I think if its in the EULA of your system, MS lawyers *might* disagree with you.
Just because I'm fanatical about backup and insist I keep no less then 12 copies of all the DVDSs I've purchased (and hey, those things aren't cheap), does that mean I'm a movie pirate? I mean, what if my computer crashes, I'll need a copy at work and maybe a couple local friend could keep an eye on a copy an thier place. And what if I'm hit by a natural disaster, I have friends in another country keeping a copy for me. I figure I'm covered, but again with the lawyers, I'm sure they'll take issue with it.
Has it only been a couple months? Dang, I'm losing it. Although his PC didn't meet the minimum specs we had XP Home on it but he complained of slowness on everything so we loaded Ubuntu and as soon as I found edubuntu we went to that. 3-4 months ago he got a new (well, new to him anyway) PC and stuck with edubuntu. Sorry if I misspoke on the version, but he's be living ubuntu (in one for or another) for over a year now. I guess I don't recall how long he ran the original version before making the switch.
My 6 year old just celebrated his year anniversary of running Edubuntu (http://www.edubuntu.org/).
Sure the handful of crapfully crafted games he had for Windows wouldn't run, but within the first week he didn't care. The distro comes loaded with educational games and exercises. His 1st grade class has 3-4 ancient iMacs (the ones that came in different colors). My impression was that they don't use the computers to construct or teach lessen plans, but its there to get them accustomed to using computers on a daily basis. For some edu-games, some heavily restricted internet, and education exercises I HIGHLY recommend edubuntu for younger kids.
Lets keep things in perspective, Google has neither contributed to Tiananmen Square nor the holocaust. They are a business and as any business that wants to do business in China, they have to agree to the government's policies, standards and laws. Google had a choice, living free of censorship without all the billions of Chinese consumers or cowtowing to the law of the land to get a piece of a VERY LARGE market. China will be, if they are not already considered, a world power and we (Americans) need to come to terms with it. We can hold true to our values of human rights and pretend they (China) don't exist... but we'd lose that war (both economically and militarily). Or we can work with China, show/prove our way is better (Hong Kong is key in this argument) and convince them prosperity can be gained without breaking the backs, minds and souls of the poor masses.
Are you suggesting my layer of feces will be covered by this layer of oxidizing agents, layered with more feces, covered with oxidizing agents, covered by feces, and so on?
The real question is, with all these layers of crap (no pun intended), will I feel the room getting smaller? I only ask because I'm a little closterphobic (when I say little, I mean microscopic).
I find it more likely Bush would introduce the scientist to some oil buddies who'd like to hedge their bets in case this whole "hybrid" car thing takes off. With Exxon and Shell owning the "new big thing" their corporate profits margins are assured.
Exxon and Shell then slow the manufacturing of the wonder drug so it may be priced at a premium for the "open" markets to determine a price high enough to continue their influence over the political process.

Haven't you ever heard of iptables and port knocking for friends with dynamic IPs? --reject-with tcp-reset is your friend
Clearly a solution for the unwashed masses. We can't seem to get people from double clicking every email attachment, I'm sure their ready to setup, configure and tweak their own IPTables.
More likely this kind of work required 10 project managers, 2 conference calls a day to discuss future conference calls, one remote junket in Las Vegas to *facilitate* intra-department cooperation, and then assign it to one tech to restore the account from backup (or) recreated the account and add to the proper groups.
I realize you may have just wanted to brag about how infrequently *you* need to ask anyone for help and kudos to you on that, but support and licensing is more important then the functionality/reliability/usefullness of the application being purchased(see Microsoft).
The fact of the matter is, in this post-SOX world business and governments needs to hedge their bets EVERYWHERE they can, and ensuring ongoing support services, upgrade protection, etc etc is how you can DOCUMENT steps taken to remediate the risks to integrity, availability and confidentiality. I like OSS, the people that support and write these application build into them wonderful security measures, precautions and a framework to utilize so many more security tools - but without a support agreement the application will never make it in the door. When that mission critical server crashes Google ain't gettin on a plane to come help you out.
Umm, a casual observer point of view is MS Office doesn't follow OpenDocument formatting so by saying the state will comply with ODF, they are giving MS the finger.

And how does having root correlate to having authority to spend the companies' money?
Its VERY common to seperate the administrative tasks of purchasing and renewing maintenance agreements away from engineering.

The fact that they are *big* certainly factors in since upgrading would be a *big* project. But in my experience with big companies, the deployment projects always include 5 & 10 year hardware/software upgrade costs (as they should).
Hardware costs aside my guess is these server runs a specific function the enterprise needs?, is there an open source alternative that could utilize the existing hardware but provide a current platform that will be supported going forward? NT4 support is dwindling and in my experience, security folks are enforcing its removal because over security concerns that challenge availability, integrity and confidentiality to critical data.
There are a *lot* of companies apparently with their collective heads up their asses.
If you are in this predicament, of supporting an NT4 environment - I feel for you, I really do. Seriously at some point avoiding the costs of upgrades is going hurt more then cutting the dang check.
