Every positron is sacred, every charge is great.
If thy don't annihilate then thou must gyrate.
Let the singularities spill them, let them loose their mass....
I don't understand the relevance of this article. The authors themselves say that counterexamples have no way of coming into existence. Is someone implying that LHC can do this? What nonsense...
The whole point of the LHC is to provide the data where the standard model might seem a little shaky. It is then and only then that we should let the theorists out of their cages!
It doesn't matter where the problem is. Rebooting a modem/router is first thing because it is the easiest thing to.
The fact that the modem needs a reboot isn't perceived as a significant problem to most end users. It only takes a few seconds and you don't loose any data in the process. This means that there isn't much pressure on the manufacturers to produce high quality routers for end users.
In my own profession I prefer to reset an entire CT gantry (*nix) than the windows workstation attached to it. The only reason is because it is quicker and hence I am more likely to get the patient scanned and out the door.
Like most other distros, all patented and binary packages are not included.
Wifey doesn't quite understand why it doesn't just work out of the box. I pull the guilt trip and then threaten to install Vista and leave her swimming in the deep end.
I've found 3rd party repositories for Fedora a bit of an adventure (atrpm vs Livna). However, I can ssh in to fix the problems without her even knowing.
I'd really like to see a "core" repository for the essentials like drivers, codecs and browser plugins.
Please let it die!
We're also still running **** mercury mail server on Novell. Less than 50% of staff can actually log in to check their mail. The rest grit their teeth with the pegasus client. Now I can finally make a case migrate. Yay!
I have to agree that the review is very poor and misleading. I like the book, I like Fedora and I think that it is underrated. But, this review leads the reader to think Fedora is something which it is clearly not.
Could someone re-write a decent review?
I don't get this argument. Someone who tunnels to/from the office is no more dangerous than the same person who takes their laptop home and plugs it into their home network. Anyone who is allowed to take an IP enabled device from work to home is an equal security risk.
I think that reverse port forwarding to localhost is better than VPN. VPN changes the network topology and can cause havoc and confusion. The amount of beaurocracy involved in VPN configuration is huge in a large organisation.
All reverse port forwarding does is presume that if something can get out, then it can get back in. If SSH is sledged because it can do this, then the same userbase will just move to another protocol which can do exactly the same thing.
I remember 2 years ago I was sent renrollment information in a.doc format. I was fuming over the whole affair and the poor office administrator coped my flack in person.
It didn't dawn on them that a considerable number of people in faculty use Unix terminals for accessing email and that such terminals didn't have Microsoft Office.
I really felt like putting in a support call to the Unix administrator saying that it appears that the University policy requires all computers to have MS Office.

And if I'm not running a 1Ghz processor with 128Mb or RAM?
