And as soon as your QOS tagged packets hit your ISP on the other side of your router the ISP will completely disregard them and you have done nothing but taken up your own router CPU cycles and insert QOS tags and into packets that can't use them in the first place....
Compaq reverse engineered the I386 architecture and that is how non IBM PC's (clones) were born. Yep, that monster gaming machine you are sitting in front of is a product of reverse engineering.
Except: What are you going to do with the new data that is created? Move the old stuff? Buy new stuff to hold the new stuff?
This is what people aren't understanding. When you have a *SHITLOAD* of data, both being created and being retained, things start to change significantly. At some point, you must choose to destroy it and have a rock solid data retension policy on what it is you keep and what it is you destroy. Till now, there have been *no* standards on this and it was usually left up to corporate attorneys who had no understanding of what it means to keep eveything, or it was up to the datacenter managers who had no clue of the legal ramifications.
Agreed, seems there are the people who know what this regulation means and why it is a good thing to clarify something that has been a huge problem, and then there is everyone else.
These naysayers need to step into one of my datacenters for about 5 minutes....I suspect their opinion on data retension would change mighty quick.
Sorry, but you simply don't know what you are talking about. In a little system, you can keep things forever, no problem. But in massive systems, it really isn't the space that is a problem, it is the bandwidth. Moving 600 terebytes of data around all of the time becomes impractial at today's data rates. What is one to do, keep everything spinning? Put it to tape? Go nearline? Think about it. Little mail servers are one thing, but the computers that really run things, like RS/6000's, Suns, and Mainframes, etc.etc. with apps like CICS, SAP, and Lawson, etc.etc are what this regulation helps with.
Every health care provider in the country is worried about this...not because they want to hide stuff, but because it is a huge burden on SANs and tape robots, especially when we are talking about huge files that may be included in an Electronic Medical Record. Also it makes it nearly impossible to have a reasonable "system" lifecycle because a provider cannot simply "retire" a system. Providers often have to go to outrageous lengths to migrate old data in old formats to old data in new formats. Since HIPAA says nothing about how long one should keep patient data, these kind of regulations or, *standardizations* are very much appropriate and necessary.
And *NONE* of this is applies to debit cards. People, do NOT use check cards, they are a very very evil way for banks to eliminate their risk and paper check processing costs while making consumers think they are not liable. You ARE liable for *anything* that comes over an EFT transer, otherwise known as a debit card....
Your bank account may be cleaned out, and the banks have no legal obligation to refund your cash...
Therein lay the rub. Microsoft is apparently doing something not in its best interest.
Can't recall the last time they did that...color me skeptical...
This is the real engineer talking. For people that think they are going to run d-link ethernet into 400 homes in a nighborhood, please step up to the crack pipe. Cabled ethernet will go about 300 feet, multi-mode fiber about 1400 feet. After that, things start getting REAL expensive becuase we are no longer in the arena of little LED's that are cheap and won't blow your eyes out if you look at it. Now we are in the realm of real high powered lasers that cost big bucks to install and maintain. Take it from this SONET engineer, he knows what he is talking about.
No one doubts the existance of metaphysics, it is what is in it that we are doubting...
Metaphysics doesn't mean meta-physics or outside/about physics. It means the study of existance itself.
Ever seen a StorageTek Timberwolf? Its about the same size as your basement and is a tape library. Veritas software runs it. Symantec has NEVER been in the backup business like that....
Norton has nothing for mainframes, practically nothing on midranges--A/S400's, R/S6000, Suns, HPs...this is where the real enterprise money is. Symantec has a long way to go before it can start even thinking about the playing field CA and IBM (Tivoli) are on....

I can just see some crackheads getting involved with space flight and taking out some neighborhood in Timbuktu with their brand new "Crackpipe 2" spacecraft....
I agree, the Novell Linux Desktop is a mess too. In order to get it to work in a Novell environment, one must modify the eDirectory schema, be on a specific version of Groupwise, use NFS to get to Novell shares, change login script methodology, etc etc. Novell really BLEW it. I wanted it to at least support Novell products and installed base! Instead it is Suse with a bunch of N's all over it....
They never seem to stay the same. They take advantage of things that no one previously thought of, which is why they are so damaging. Defense in depth is great and all, but the next killer worm will probably blow through all of it...

Reverse engineering is a good thing.

Actually, there is another nice silly internet word for it. That is a phish.

Its almost like OSS in that regard, put enough eyes on it and you will get some pretty good code....

If you need carrier class routing/switching, XORP will never be able to do it for you, ever.
If you need a cheap router, go buy one. 50 bucks gets you quite a bit of power in a Linksys or D-link.
Where does XORP come in again?
