If you had a single class-c, wouldn't subnetting make it worse?
A/24 has 254 usable IPs. A/25 only has 252 usable. For every subnet bit you set, you lose more and more usable IP space.
With that being said, subnetting (especially CIDR) is an invaluable tool. It breaks my heart that a lot of our newer network engineers just can't do it. They learned it to pass the CCNA and then went back to using CIDR calculators.
I recently attended a conference hosted by VMWare. I spent a bit of time talking geek with one of the tech guys. Mostly we talked about vSphere's new *virtual* cisco switches. Anyway, the engineer said they have some support for some USB devices.
That being said, I have never gotten USB to work in VB or VM Ware...
Tabletop exercises are great for leadership. Get them all in a room, drop in an event, and see how they respond. Who they call and how fast they can accomplish the action gets figured into the exercise being a success or failure.
But where it gets hard is for the guys that will actually do the action items. Data center is flooded; how long to bring the warm site online? It's great that the NOC manager knows that activating a warm site should take X hours, but what will the actual NOC techs be doing?
By moving the exercise into a hybrid virtual/table-top mode, you get the best of both worlds. The leadership can react to the big picture and the troops can react to an individual sniper or group of protesters. And both groups can exercise in a way that will give them practical experience.
A few years ago, I bought a DV7-1130. For the first 6 months, it ran perfectly. At the 6 month mark, it started shutting down randomly. I formatted the system and installed Windows 7 and it was okay for another few months.
At the 9 month mark, it was regularly shutting down on its own. I'd come home from work or come back from lunch/dinner and the laptop would be off.
The Windows system console was reporting thermal shutdown events. Go figure.
I took the laptop apart and cleaned everything out. It wasn't that dirty inside, but I figured any little bit would help.
The laptop ran fine after that. But at the 13-month mark, the battery died.
I'm now at the 24-month mark and it refuses to burn DVDs any more. CDs can burn just fine.
In short, cheap components that seem to last *just* long enough to get the laptop past the warranty period.
The document you linked to covers the current release (2.4x). The book covers the new release (2.5). AFAIK, 2.5 is still in beta.
There are quite a few differences in the new Blender. To me, the new releases seem a little more user-friendly. If you spend a lot of time with 2.4x, the 2.5x releases will feel a bit awkward. They seem to do a lot more hand-holding.
The great thing is that they did not change the file format. There are a lot of 2.4x python scripts that haven't been ported to 2.5x yet. But you can edit and save in 2.5, open in 2.4 and run your scripts, then re-open the.blend file in 2.5 and continue editing.
It's been a while since I played around with this, but I think that even "administrator" has problems installing unsigned drivers. You have to manually turn off some things on the command line and then reboot. On reboot, Windows will give a few error messages and then you can try to re-install the driver. On subsequent reboots, Windows warns you that things could be bad.
"If China telecom intercepts that [encrypted message] and they are sitting on the middle of that, they can send you their public key with their public certificate and you will not know any better," he said. The holder of this certificate has the capability to decrypt encrypted communication links, whether it's web traffic, emails or instant messaging, Alperovitch said. "It is a flaw in the way the Internet operates," said Yoris Evers, director of worldwide public relations at McAfee.
What makes this really annoying is that a lot of.mil sites use self-signed certificates. When doing mil-2-mil browsing, you just get used to clicking whatever to get into the site. So, I can easily see how China could do a MITM without alarming any of the end users.
>>Does anyone assume that the synthetic benchmarks achieved by either AMD or NVIDIA are representative of anything more than these companies' efforts to tweak their driver sets against the pre-existing criteria for getting a "good score"?
In short, no.
However, we have sites like HardOCP and AnandTech that run the cards through a variety of games and give the results. You can look at the results and decide if your current card is better or worse than the new card.
If you are trying to decide between a brand-new NVIDIA and a brand new ATI, well, they will both be pretty damn good. And if one gets a few FPS more, well, most people probably won't care.
But if you are deciding to purchase an upgrade, the new card will almost certainly be better than what you have now. Then it becomes a cost/benefit analysis. And that's a personal decision.
From my standpoint, the *real* bug is that network-connected devices aren't pulling time data from a server often enough. A phone (any phone) should get an updated date/time at least once an hour. I live near a time zone border and it annoys me when I have to think if the time on my phone is really the current time.
As far as what DST accomplishes, I lived in a place without DST for a while. It was annoying that, during the Summer, the sun came up really early in the AM. It was not uncommon for the sky to start changing at 3~4am and to see the sun in the sky by 5am. Most stores ran fixed hours, so you still didn't have to be at work till 9am; and got off at 6pm. Without DST, you ended up with a ridiculously long morning and a ridiculously short evening. If they implemented DST, the store hours could be the same, but you would have an extra hour at night to enjoy the extra daylight.
It depends on the crime. If you are talking about someone bombing a major event, then 50% odds might not be so bad. If you get through, you blow up people inside the event. If you get detected, you blow up in the middle of a gaggle of people waiting to get in. Either way, it's pretty much the same.
And if you talk about a coordinated attack, it gets worse. Once the first guy is detected, he detonates. When the others hear the explosion, they detonate too. You have some terrorists inside the gate; some outside. Either way, you catch a bunch of people as they run away from the initial blast.
>>Remarriage triggers new assessment of child support payments, and payments are only to be made if the new marriage cannot fully support the children.
I was with you up to this point. Just because someone else is dicking your ex, does not mean that your kids are not still yours. Now, maybe if the new husband wants to adopt your kids, then I could see stopping child support.
Banning the burka is perfectly fine. I think of it as the same as banning child marriage, polygamy, and many other bizarre religious practices. It may be something a woman wants. It may be something that is forced on her. There is no *real* way to know for sure.
I believe that the core clocks used in GPS are cesium-beam. Still, if you happen to have a data center in a high-flying (lower gravity well) or fast moving (probably Mach 2 or higher), then you will need to re-sync with GPS occasionally.
I don't really see a problem with that. You wouldn't use Notepad for a mission-critical editing, why would you use W32Time for mission-critical timing?
That being said, I don't know what 3rd-party system you would use for sub-second timing.
GPS is okay. But I would think that a financial institution would prefer to invest in a good cesium-beam frequency standard. These units are calibrated at the factory and drift something like one second every few thousand years. Plus, there is no need to have an external antenna to pick up GPS signals. If you *absolutely* need stable and accurate clocking, cesium is the only way to go.
What I'd like to see is a PenTesting-style team of white hats. These guys could set up the scams and, when they get a bite, take funds for, say, 24 hours. Then, contact the user and let them know what happened, how they did it, and what the use can do to not get taken in the future.
The system would be funded with a small percentage of the funds they take from people, say 1%. Basically, a fine; similar to a speeding ticket.
You should check out FreeFalcon. It's 4.0 sourcecode that has been updated and tweaked to provide a more realistic experience. The full game is now free and you can find it over at http://www.freefalcon.com/
I'm a big fan of Silent Hunter. But I won't buy or play the new one until they release it sans DRM. It's really funny; watching the videos from Subsim, you constantly see messages about "no internet" and then, a few seconds later, "internet reconnected". That sure helps you to remain immersed in a faithful WW2 sub sim. After all, Adolph would have won if not for his shitty broadband connection.
This just goes to show how incompetent the other (were there other?) network managers were. If I encounter an unknown Cisco device, it takes maybe 20 minutes to recover to a full working state with MY passwords in-place. Most places run some sort of ACS. How hard would it be to break into the AAA and add a user/pass?
And anyone with even basic Cisco knowledge understands management VLANs.
The major problem is that the Mayor did not ask the right question in the right way. He probably asked, "what are the master usernames and passwords?" He should have asked, "what do we need to do to take control of B1024_CITY_CORE_6509?"
Of course, there was some shadiness in that Childs decided to only tell them what they asked for vice what they needed to know...
In most cases, LE gets a warrant for X. If, in the search for X, they discover Y, they can quickly get the warrant ammended to cover the new discovery.
A good example of this is that cops respond to a domestic disturbance and find evidince of drugs. They can detain the suspects and get a quick warrant to search for drugs. They then go back in the house and perform the search for drugs. In most cases, they don't have to leave the house while they wait for the warrant.
How would you pay off a $54k settlement in 2 years? Even if you have a $100k/year job, you probably don't have the money to pay off that much debt that quickly.
The RIAA isn't hiring lawyers; they are lawyers. They really have nothing to lose from dragging this out as long as possible.
Even if the $54k settlement goes to the SCOTUS, it will stand. And $54k is plenty of deterrent for 90% of the US. That's about 10~15 years of garnished wages for most people.

Probably software flow control. XON/XOFF or something like that...

We used to have an old client/server installed in the office a few years ago. It was a fun game to login every hour or two and do a turn or two.
But these days, SmartFilter pretty much grabs everything that isn't work-related.
