Well, the BIOS was the majority of what had to be reverse engineered to get the system to be compatible back in the day. The fact that you can't just plump windows into the cd drive and install without using a bootloader is an incompatibility. In that sense the current Apple computers are not really clones of IBM type PCs. To be a clone means allmost total compatibility (excluding bugs).
Yes they do but the threat isn't really that big right now to make the investment worth it. I also would install one to also stop email transmission to other users.
More and more stories of data centers in random recycled locations like churches and stuff. Isn't cheaper to just build a building than to refurbish some of these locations?
Yup I agree. A good Secretary might be able to do some pretty hefty VB scripting in Excel. But the crowd here probably thinks that's not a language either.
While that might be true where you are, Cops here are part of the city police force (not sure how the funding works) but they work mostly on campus have campus colors and a building on campus. Their jurisdiction does expand way beyond campus.
If you have an average Linux sysadmins at your office you won't need to do anything with the cli. In a work environment you can easily use Linux without stepping away from gnome. In fact using the cli could be seen as you trying to break out of your approved environment. I've been lucky enough to have Linux desktop (and plenty of Macs) and the Linux(or same applies to mac) users are usually a lot more self sufficient.(And trust me they aren't geniuses).
At home, well, I'm sorry but I see plenty of people who have to hack up their windows install to get it to work half way decently. Reinstalling windows isn't as easy as it's put out to be. That's why the Geek Squad makes a killing. Imagine if they started supporting Ubuntu. The average home user wouldn't care.
Most people use the windows installation on their system from the factory and when that craps out they buy a new computer or call some techie friend.
For those who will say "But I tried Linux and I had to do XYZ" You're not an average user and you have been with windows long enough to learn how to get it to work for you. You ignore all the hiccups because it's now natural to you. Linux is foreign and it requires you to change your usual fixing methods. You will have a learning curve th same as when you began using windows

We should boycott all forms of communications!
Flash is moving to be a little more open. Heck, you can currently use an opensource streaming server (red5) and opensource flash clients/players
Hum, there are a ton of programs for you opensource OS of choice that will write to an iPod AND some even support encrypted AAC playback.
Great compression algorithm they are using there. Hope they got something more efficient in their project.
I would venture to guess that they do have logs and snort running somewhere like all other universities of this size.
Sounds more like snort. Which frankly, is a good thing for a University to run, maybe they could ignore non-academic/business stuff like dorms.

You can get infected by about anything available on torrents these days. PDF, Pictures, Video, ...
Yup, any app can do this. A host level firewall can be used to prevent this by blocking outside access but they are a pita to manage.
Yes they do but the threat isn't really that big right now to make the investment worth it. I also would install one to also stop email transmission to other users.
Not that I like it but UAC would give you about 50 alerts by the time that trojan managed to get online.

You can't break what doesn't exist yet.
USENIX for the win
The word itself not right? I mean Electrical Engineer would be but if one organization had Engineer all the other would be SOL.
Licensing boards are somewhat of a barrier to entry for many who would qualify. Engineers having to certify in multiple states is crazy.
I fully agree with that. Network design is an engineering type endeavor, maintenance not so much.
You can still do an awful amount of dangerous thing with an Apache Config. Sysadmins only.
Well most webmaster can now be replaced with Drupal.

The reputation will never be restored.

How the hell did you relate that to Silverlight?
