If the business grows and you need to hire more people to get the work done, be sure not to put unqualified family members in managing positions, just because they are relatives. Have seen this to much, and it has several drawbacks.
To be short: the qualified people you have under contract will leave the company.
If they are the right (wo)man on the right place and they are able to prove it in front of you're collaborators, nothing stops you to give family members a managing position.
AFAIK Free speech doesn't contain the right to lie?
There is a different in the statements
"the linux kernel could contain SCO IP"
and
"The linux kernel contains SCO IP"
The first one is truly a free speech tought. The second one isn't a tought anymore. It's an accusation. You should have a prove to accuse somebody. I hope the American law system doesn't differs from the European on that level.
Depending of the algorithm in use you will have a slow or fast VPN in use.
For instance IPSEC
- you could have 512 keys (breakable with a lot of effort) or 2048 key pair encryption. Defenitly if the 512 key pair is in use it will be faster.
I make a balance between speed and the weight of data you need to protect.
To protect my financial data, I would use a good tight VPN.
For instance @ home, I use CIPE for wireless VPN into my server. Reliable and speed are the keywords. I don't care, I someone is capable to decrypt my most favorite websites etc...(after a few weeks). I don't share confidential info on it. Just need to protect my wireless network from script kiddies using tools for cracking WEP.
Depending on the use, you should use a type of VPN. Just like you made the difference between a truck and a car.
If the congres would outlaw open source software, the following things would happen in the next 24 hour
- space shutles would fall down. - super computer grids would be shutdown. - Hughe amounts of data will get lost - ISP's will shutdown. - somewhere a power grid will fail and putting SCO and microsoft without power. The last e-mail of Darl mcBride to announce his victory you ever see, would be something like this: FW: SCO Victor#"aa)")))))"
A Mad Max scenario comes to my mind.
The outside world will watch. China will be the new superpower.
If SCO is using the headers linus wrote himself, then SCO should release their products under the GPL. If you are able to review the source, maybe nobody will ever use it again.

Due to regulations, authorithies had to post job applications. The profile was a match for some existing person.
The first words "sysadmin" tooks my attention. Reading op further, decided even not to apply.
Only one would pass the test.

Probably you catch somebody who's infected by the worm. People able to create a worm are also capable of hacking a computer. If somebody hacks computers in chain and then spread the virus from the last computer in the chain, detection is not gonna be easy. Specially when some of the hacked computers crash without explanation, just after the virus is spread. The poor guy who's having the crash just will reinstall it. Will be dificult to trace. The early warning and detection system will only catch the stupid virus creators.
Most of the add-on boards have been protected against electrostatic discharges with diode circuits.
However this could not mean a static dsicharge can't destroy electronic parts. One should always be aware of this.
Have seen computered controlled electro mechanical devices go completly nuts due to electrostatic discharges. (they weren't broken) A good shielding is a must.
Anyone with acces to the computer and the account could have applied. Nobody could prove it was actually you're wife who signed up.
So this is very doubtfull
She should have closed the internetexplorer window without pushing any button on it. Probably (depends on the level of the webmaster), no information would get trough.(disconnect the power cord comes to my mind as a alternative) Pushing the button did actually sent the information.
I believe there are two versions of "top 5 influential executives list"
a) one positive list.
b) one negative list.
Did someone mentioned on wich one he will appear?
I know on wich one I would place him...
http://project.honeynet.org
One difference: The hackers who hack a honey net didn't know about it, and didn't get paied. (perhaps worse when sent to jail)
You can't destroy IP with a sledgehammer.
(however it remains a fine idea to destroy some buildings)
This is both a advantage as a disadvantage for SCO.
The disputed code fragments who's been analyzed have proven this.
We are looking at the funeral of UNIX in favor of LINUX.
I would feel guilty to say thnx to SCO for it.

They are using open source code for registration?

SCO's Roadshow Coming Soon
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I did have a look myself too the registration software they use for the famous roadshow
From the FAQ on the website of VRS http://www.verite.com/htmlsite/etools/t2vrsfa q.htm l
Can I run VRS on my own web server? Yes, but we don't recommend it. VRS, as it stands now, is programmed in Cold Fusion and utilizes MySQL database software. To install VRS on your web server, Verite would either need to reprogram the system in a language that you support (very costly) or you would need to purchase a Cold Fusion Server and pay consulting fees for Verite to install and set it up. (VRS supports any ODBC compatible database-like Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL server, Oracle, etc.-but we prefer MySQL because of high reliability and the fact that it is open source).
So probably (not for sure) they rely on mysql as database.
Amusing. This remind on the additional note of SCO posted by release of samba 3.0
Slashdot Mirror
hehe
... and my reference list with most used parts he copied from me, did contain some strange serious errors.
Did this once.
Gave my replacment a incomplete manual with missing substantial parts and told him to RTFM.
I knew already I had lost my job.
The funniest part of it: The things they missed, they would never ever know about them.
Oh
What do you expect? I'm no Saint.
It did work. 3 months later they contacted me to take op my old job. I just showed them my midlefinger.

You are right. I just tought it could be usefull to consider encryption strenght versus the use of the information and the speed. Geert

Why?
...
SCO is violating the GNU in more then one way.
This should be reason enough to kick them out off a consortium wich is based upon the GNU.
Oh yes, the contracts
If the congres would outlaw open source software,
the following things would happen in the next 24 hour
- space shutles would fall down.
- super computer grids would be shutdown.
- Hughe amounts of data will get lost
- ISP's will shutdown.

FW: SCO Victor#"aa)")))))"
A Mad Max scenario comes to my mind.

the SCO license is a 419 scam.
The method of selling it is just a bit smarter.
Of course, this is exactly what the people of BAM need after the earthquake...
If SCO is using the headers linus wrote himself, then SCO should release their products under the GPL.
If you are able to review the source, maybe nobody will ever use it again.
Hard to tell, someone could write a book about this theme.
A good starting point: release all windows OS under the GPL. We will see how the rest sort out.
I you choose Darl mcBride as the judge, you will have such a trial.
Chris,
You are fired!

This person has done more harm then the poor viruswriter they are chasing!
