I think you have to take into account how secure the specific-use databases are going to be maintained. Who is going to write updates for security flaws in a specific-use database and support new technologies. Might it be safe to say we'll see companies forget or drop a specific-use database over a more general platform. I rather use a database that might be a little slower if I know that I can get regular updates to keep it current with my ever patching / updating / and re-securing Operating systems. How often do we see proprietary hardware stop working because M$ decided to make a new service pack? What happens when the latest version of your Debian or Red Hat install won't run your widget-PostMySQL super designed build because the new install no longer supports an older kernal?
My former employer was an ISP service, we were in the 8th floor of a building. We ran a fiber cable out our server room, through the drop ceiling into the elevator shaft, down the shaft and to the 2nd floor, drilled a hole in the wall ran the cable through accross an alley way ~ 16-20foot off the ground accross to the AT&T building next door for our "Primary" internet connection directly connected into the Local HUB, "we" did this on a Saturday.
Best internet connection I have ever seen.... Nothing like P2P'in a complete 650mb ISO in less than 5 seconds.
265sqm.. / 350 million people (Just the US population + generouse allowance) =.75 Square miles per million people or more exact (0.75714285714285714285714285714286 sq.m. per million)
1 sq. mile * 5280 foot per mile = 27878400 sq feet. 27878400 * 265 =
7,387,776,000 sq feet of solar pannel needed../350 million = 21.10793142857.. or lets say 22 feet. Sounds like my 2200sq foot house if I were to cover it with say a 10x10 100sq foot solar panel it would power my house and then a whole lot more for my family of 2./that was a little scatterbrained... but get what I am saying./yeah right 40% efficiancy would be that much power.
Lybia has 5.7 million people and if you do the math( 1.2/5.7=~0.21) that means that 21% of the population will now have a computer and that logicaly 100% of the population will have access to a machine since 1 in 5 people will have one in their hands.
I wonder just how this will effect everyone there? I wonder if they will have internet access? Some of the possibilities are endless. But realisticly I think we are going to have to worry about a new generation of phishers and spammers.
I work for a 501(c)1 corporation which is a Non-Profit that has been formed by order of the Government, we are an Alcohol and Drug Adiction Services Board. Google refuses to allow non-profits with our status to use their grant beta. I wonder if any of the other types of 501(c) they will accept. There are many 501(C)7's out there that do sports activities for example.
It depends on your view of what cyberterrorism is. I view it as terrorist using the internet to colaborate attacks and gain resources from other physical terrorist networks.
What doesn't make sense is all the energy they are waisting blasting things back and forth from earth to the international space station...
NASA Better model...
Launch a rocket with cargo pod including men to go the international space station as well as all the fuel and resources they need to go to the moon, unfortunatly probably including a lunar lander( until they find a more efficient way of landing on the moon) that will be left behind.
Rocket docks with international space station. Pickup a used lunar module(minus the lander). ISS operators load supplys from their rocket to a space shuttle docked and serviced with the ISS. Shuttle is re-fueled with supplys takes off for 2 week journey to the moon (probably would be pretty slow). Shuttle orbits Moon. Shuttle launches Lunar Module. People go to the moon do their thing come back dock with the space shuttle and the shuttle takes them back to the ISS. From there they can hop the next ride home.
In this model you save a lot of resources. If it cost X ammount of money per pound to launch there is no reason not to re-use all the standard parts that would come home anways and service them in space. If they lighten the load they could save a lot of $ in launching stuff into our orbit.
Heck the Russians might even fly our astronauts into space for us at 20Million a pop. Somehow I think that would be cheaper than it costs us to get GiArmstrong into space ourselves.
It might take some retrofitting of the shuttles we have left but they would never have to come back to earth and we might get another 20 years out of them, but Endevour and Atlantis could be permently left in space to do skips from the orbit of the moon to the orbit to the ISS, heck with 2 of them we would have an emergancy recovery shuttle always ready to go save someone in space. We might even consider designing them for conventional lunar flight.
Something we will most likely eventualy want to do as well.. ISS-for the moon, along with a lunar network of satalites. Wow just thing with the number of lunar meteor strikes we might want to put up a norad on the moon.
Two days ago I was eating dinner with my parents complaining about Microsofts cost licensing. And I made the statement that Microsoft was going down, and Google was going to do it.
The two techonolgies Google had to corner was integrating Sun Microsystems Open Office, with a DB MS Access similar solution would need to be included in the suite most likely based off of mySQL, into the google web interface. The second Google needs to produce it's own build of a Linux free OS that could install on 99% of all new machines. On install it would detect stable ethernet and modem drivers and boot to a google designed web browser interface or Mozilla. All it would be designed to do would be web browsing and a file system management(comprable to Internet Explorers hard drive interface) it could be booted off a CD or installed localy.
With these two technologies being given away for free by Google, Microsoft will slowly continue to die. Google has the abylity to market it and the world is almost ready for it, we just have to convince the MMORPG makes to release linux versions of WOW and the upcoming DDO.
Fear? I am not afraid of my Identity being stolen? I protect my identity. And we all should, so we don't have to be fear. There is a difference between inciting panic and telling others to be careful. Do we build fences around our property because we are afraid? Do we have insurance on our cars because we are afraid? I for one do it because I am careful.
Everyone should keep there information secure. But to do that means we have to know what we need to do to be prepared for an attack. It's a no brainer that another attack is going to happen, there are still muslim fanatics and many muslim leaders support followers to be fanatic still. Untill all the leaders mysteriously disapear if by crater or by covert opps we need to be ready for the next attack. It's just like WWII, we have to be ready, it is now our responsibility to tell someone hey you just left your briefcase in the entraceway to my officebuilding instead of ignoring them, as well as it is our responcibility to make sure our credit, our identity is not stolen by a terrorist and used to blow up London next week.
Personal attacks against a person could happen at any time. A dignitary is more likely to die at the hands of a gunman or a suicide bomber. And fits the suicide profile or fanatic profile of our coward Al-Quida freak. Cyber terrorism seems to be the quordination of these insurgents, actual attacks on our 'cyber' infrustructure will probably always be lead by those who test the envilope, us.
As for the altering of medical information... imagine the lawsuit that would come from a mixed blood type? I Think most hospitals already have that info secure, and if not HIPPA is going into effect and protecting that information is suppose to be the law of the land now for those agencies.
I think WP definition of Cyber Terrorism is a little more exact. They seem to be saying that it is.. The coordination and communication of multiple cells of a terrorist network over electronic media.

Did anyone else know that it is actually do to hit on April 13th... and it is a Friday. /not joking

So when are they going to grow one so large after it's cut it will be the size of a basketball?

Wasn't there an article a while back about the programs running 'better' in quantum computers that were turned off? /this is dumb tech

Is there an M$ Exchange/Outlook03 equivalent out there that is open source?
