Actually no , rebooting is very fast. The program is deep freaze (sp) and works based on looking at file system changes and resoting changed bits from the image, but not the whole thing (unless certain files or X% has been changed). Now if some one deletes the entire windows directory or something moronically stupid like that, then it does take a bit longer to reboot, but most students have been conditioned to not do that (mainly suspending of the offending morons account for 24 hours).
Why not let them push the rules? I prefer the setup that my school has, every time the computer reboots it re-images and the students have full access to the machine. This allows for people like me to do interesting things (like install vnc, putty, etc.) and with a simple reboot everything goes back to normal.
Or have you ever thought that BT might "accidently" filter some non kiddy porn sites that speek badly of BT? I'd prefer to keep the internet a dumb network thank you very much
"Certified Professionals" , right because we all know just how well "certification" works. Now well trained professionals might make better sense. Open source also ensures the acces of real professionals rather than "certified professionals"...
I'm not sure how much bandwith the Salt Lake Tribune place has, so I put up a brief mirror here
Alternatively (incase my server also goes under) you can read the article text bellow:
The Utah Court of Appeals has backed Novell's breach-of-contract victory over the Canopy Group, but in so doing unveiled a once-secret pact under which Novell sought to sue Microsoft by proxy.
That 1996 antitrust lawsuit by Canopy and its subsidiary Caldera (now SCO Group) brought a reported $250 million settlement from Microsoft in 2000. The litigation, the three-judge appellate panel found, came as an oral quid-pro-quo for the sale of source code for DR DOS, a computer operating system targeted by Microsoft's alleged anti-competitive practices in the early 1990s.
"Novell's board of directors worried that, if they brought suit against Microsoft in a private antitrust action, Microsoft would retaliate with further unfair practices that could neutralize the value of any antitrust recovery," Utah Appellate Judge Norman Jackson wrote.
The court further stated that Novell used DR DOS as the lure, verbally reaching an agreement that Canopy -- in return for a $1 million deal for the OS source code -- would then sue Microsoft. Novell also was to receive a cut of any lawsuit awards in the form of so-called "royalties."
"Novell insisted that its role be completely undetectable to avoid retaliation from Microsoft," the appeals court stated.
When Canopy prevailed against Microsoft and received the settlement, it tried to first deduct its attorney fees, court costs and other expenses, the judges found. Novell, believing its still-undisclosed cut of the award should have come on the gross amount, sued for breach of contract.
Written documents, Novell argued, made no provision for the deductions Canopy had made. Canopy countered that it was in the oral, side agreement that established its right to reclaim expenses before calculating Novell's share.
Provo's 4th District Judge Anthony Schofield agreed with Novell, and granted summary judgment. Canopy appealed. The appellate panel, consisting of Judges Gregory Orme and William Thorne Jr. in addition to Jackson, upheld Schofield in a decision published late Thursday.
On Friday, Canopy attorney Robert Jeffs said he was considering a further appeal to the Utah Supreme Court, but no final decision had been made.
"Canopy is obviously very disappointed with the decision," he said. "We felt we should have had the opportunity [in the lower court] to present our evidence to a jury."
Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drake would not comment.
Novell spokesman Bruce Lowery also declined to discuss his company's role in Canopy-Caldera's antitrust suit against Microsoft, saying only that Novell was pleased with the appellate ruling.
Here here... I got really annoyed when they started putting sat phones on the planes (fortunitly they sor dam expensive that no one used them). The article doesnt mention what they use for the down link so you might not have to worry about your working getting in touch with you (IE everyone could be sharring a 128k link which cuts out every so often).
They flew the dam thing up in a helicopter and it managed to navigate its way back using GPS. Correct me if I'm wrong, the only new thing they did was add the word "space" in front of allready existing technology (not that I have anything against that, marketing is very important for success); but I dont think this really deserves front page slashdot treatment. Then again I could be completely of base.
Actually this contest is really useful for google. All of half-wit SEOs out there will be pulling out their bag of tricks to win. Google can then take a look and see what methods are being used to artifially increase rankings and then work out ways around them. I wouldnt be suprised if google sponsored a couple of contests like this (on the sly of course...)
