Wow, will my 18 months of p-system pascal will suddenly become valuable in the workplace? How about my year as a Sage Retrieve (COBOL but nastier) programmer?
I think not.
I suppose people who are interested in this stuff are kinda like space age tarmac engineers, or more perhaps traffic light designers on speed.
I don't think it'd mater how hard I tried, I just couldn't find routers an interesting topic, any more than canals. Hang on, I'll have a go...
Big up the router designing people! I for one welcome our new router controlling overlords.
I think the color word you are looking for is "Indigo".
Not really. The boxes I saw were always blue or green. It's just the most well known (round these ere parts) is indigo.
The best thing about SG workstations was(is) that they came in funky blue or green boxes rather than beige. And this was years before Apple caught onto the idea and applied it to the iMac. Oh, they were pretty good at their job, but perhaps that's just a coincidence.
Who wants democracy anyway? We haven't had it for years. Vote for big business, big business with absurd religious moral stance, none of the above (as long as you're not in the UK, where the option isn't available) or big business. Or you could always abstain or spoil your ballot.
We are looking at reclassifying some jobs to overtime eligible in the new Fiscal Year. We have resisted this in the past, not because we don't want to pay overtime, but because we believe that the wage and hour laws have not kept pace with the kind of work done at technology companies
One of the main problems with that is firewalls. Many organisations sit behind one firewall and therefore 1 IP address. 1 click per week from an entired university? It's not going to make them much money.
Great. MS making it easier for another swathe of barely litterate nobodies to spout off uninformed bollocks on the internet. Not like erm, us... erm. Bugger.

Great name to go senile with. That's the kind of name I want around when I'm 85 and dribbling, "you seen the snuggling ifbot today son?"

You're badly misinformed.
We do have the resources to feed 7,8,9 billion people. We don't however have the resources to support waste on such a massive scale. Big car for one person? Small dinner in a big packet? Heater on but window open? Walking machines? Go for a walk ffs.
The big thing isn't population as you seem to think. It's a mixture of distribution of wealth, priorities and efficiency. You want your comodities but at the expense of the planet.
Anyway, you could always do the planet a favour and kill yourself. Or possibly force birth control on yourself as you don't seem overly concerned about your rights. Got children? Kill them too! Do us all a favour.

Then you're rather behind the times I'm afraid.
The old 'Malthusian' argument has been discredited for years. If you're such a strong believer you'd go outside and top yourself tomorrow.
One of the things I like about shib is the concept of a 'targeted id'. This is a unique id that is different for each service provider that requests it, but is persistent between user sessions. In essence it means that each service provider can have a persistent id for a user, but will not be able to trace usage between resources.
One cautionary note about the shib software: It's a complex install and configure procedure and it's got some nasty dependancies. Other than that it does exactly what it says on the tin.
It really isn't that difficult for one SAML target/origin to support multiple SAML profiles, including liberty and shibboleth. I expect that comercial software with SAML support (such as Novel IChain) will be developed with this in mind.
The real problem is coordinating trust on a business level. E.g. Does service provider x trust identity provider y to make authentication assertions about users.
I suppose a few publicly available identity providers might emerge, possibly basing themselves on existing services. This is what passport did: have a hotmail account? then these services trust MS to authenticate users on their behalf.
There is a sucessful SSO mechanism used by the education and health sectors in the UK. It has around 3 million users and over 250 target resources. It's called Athens and has been around for years. Eduserv Athens website

And how's your missile defense system going?
It works just as well as yours, but at a fraction of the the cost!
hehe.

Haven't you worked it out yet? It doesn't matter where they come from, All politicians are crooks.

It's hard to surf left handed with a laptop on your lap. That's 50% of internet users OK then.
You think Australia should strengthen copyright to help defend itself from an Indonesian invasion force?
Thats one to add to the '101 easy ways to win IP trials' manual. Are you on crack?

In other words, we didn't want to pay overtime.
Gah. Dil-bert!
