Does this seem incredibly stupid to anyone else but me? If someone were to use an encrypted proxy, does that not effectively nullify the benefits of the tap? $450 dollars per student seems like a lot of money for a University to shell out, especially considering the tap can be defeated easily (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Does anyone know if the 3com driver was fixed. That was one of the problems I had with a beta release, but I never got the chance to report it (I know, my community mentality sucks). I'll be installing it anyways, but it would be nice to know ahead of time.
Congrats on the release guys, keep up the good work!
Xen has been benchmarked to outperform VMWare in certain applications. In addition, Xen allows you to migrate a domain (instance of client OS) to another machine running Xen, live over the network.
Although, another difference is that the OS must be ported to run on Xen. But Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD have been ported.
IMHO, Microsoft is doing exactly what they are supposed to do as a corporation: limit costs, and increase profit. That's what capitalism is all about. Unless I misunderstood that part of economics.
Hmm, maybe that's why their software sucks so bad. They don't care about making good software, they only care about making good money.
It is very clear which side some of our Senators and Legislators are viewing the piracy problem from. But what about the consumers who are paying $20 for a movie/cd that cost the producer $0.10 to make? Of course the **AA is going to want to hold on to that enourmous profit. But maybe thats the problem.
I think a step in the right direction would be these companies asking themselves why people are stealing their products rather than buying them; not how. I also think giving the consumer a little more for their money would be in order. If someone can get digital data easily, then the value has obviously decreased. Give the consumer something more than digital information (a unique t-shirt, a one of a kind sticker, discounts on concert tickets, etc....).
I personally think an implementation of a one-time pad is a rather secure way to go. If someone does happen to capture your unecrypted PW, so what. The same PW is only used once. I will be implementing this on my FreeBSD box soon. If interested, here are the basics on how to do this with FreeBSD.
What ever happend to "innocent until proven guilty". In a court of law, one is inoccent until it is proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt (idealistically), they have committed the crime. This legislation considers poeple guilty before they have even committed the crime.
Redundancy aside, I think more people need to consider our legal system's view on John Q. Public. I, for one, do not like being viewed as potential criminal #424-90-8621.

Of course it's true, that's an assignment statement, not a comparison ;). Sheesh.

M$ added more than just NX support. SP2 added a heap protection mechanism, but as some have already pointed out, it can still be exploited.
Xen outperforms UML. At least on applications that heavily work the OS.
