The fail point is that you are still highly vulnerable to DOS attacks - heck, my simple wireless plantronics headset with its great "spectrum hopping feature for clarity" will drop any WAP it gets close to.
My real question is, does 802.11 N protect you against DOS attacks in the real world?
I bought the Evoluent 3 a few weeks ago, and it's saved my life. Pain has gone away after one day, and it's easy to use. It's a little slower to work with, but only a little. Programming it right is a saver - I have the middle button set for double-click, the upper button is left click and the lower button is right click - and that takes a lot of load off my carpal'ed right hand and leave me more energy left to do other important things with my right hand.
As a side note, the Evoluent keyboard is cool, other than you can't tilt it - it's driving me crazy. And the evoluent mousepad is a waste of money - I went though 2 of them in 2 days. They fall apart easy. But the vertical mouse - it's incredible, and is a great programmers mouse.
I've sat non-technical Windows user down in front of this dual boot Win/SuSE/KDE box and they can't tell the difference. Start menu, browser, word processer, email, media player, they can't tell the difference.
Give me a clear study 1000's of users doing just this and I'll wave it in front of the CIO of every company I know!
Here we have a study buy a highly technical CIO that claims that SUSE Linux is an acceptable enterprise OS. This is bunk. Any solid technical person can use any OS and make it work.
Show me a study where a non-technical standard business user is successfully using SUSE for 30 days as their only OS, and suddenly you got my interest.
XHTML 1.0 "Strict Standard" has nothing to do with the clusterfuck that Javascript has become. Ever try to code a complex ajax task to support a wide array of current browsers? This mess has nothing to do with XHTML.
But your medical rights are still federally protected by HIPPA which is why the feds are not waging all out war on (state) legal pot smokers with medical license to do so.
There's nothing wrong with having well supported proprietry kit,
Yes there is, its evil from a tco perspective over long periods of time. The world is changing to OSS and open web standards and you can't stop it! THPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Once MS is gone and everyone is using Mac, THEN we can get people to come to Linux. HA! That's funny as hell, good show, chap. And as the parent poster, I must admit I'm saying this on a Dell 9100 XP Pro getting ready to buy *drool* one of the new Macbook Pro's, and I run Solaris for my servers. *sigh* All u*x desktops, other than Apple, look way to clunky to me. I love love Linux more..... But how many of you leave the wives that you love to sleep with some slut? *sigh*
Or Apple. Which makes ME smile even more. But should't Apple be most Linux fans' nightmare?
1) Proprietary system that is only in small part, OSS
2) Standard PC hardware with fancy plastic that is much more overpriced than the same hardware minus fancy plastic
3) A OS that is more expensive over it's life that even Winblows - and Apple CURRENTLY charges serious coin for major OS updates
4) A secure coding and patch release methodology that is *years* behind MS
5) Apple regularly lies about the performance capabilities of its' machines
6) Apple uses Solaris and Windows (Apple china ran it until 03) because of their superior stability compared to OS X.
Linux shall set you free, Apple will only drag you into Job's reality distortion field.
Yes, but lets be truthful about this. I can't debug an iPhone application on Safari for Windows. In order to test my app on Safari for Mac and for the iPhone, I'm going to need to debug my app - right - in a real iPhone and on Safari on a real mac (or a hackenmac). Safari for Windows seems like an left field oddity to me.
I only use the most recent version of MySQL, and I have the exact opposite perspective. MySQL does what a database is suppose to do really well - simple relational queries onto data. MySQL's transactional processing; the ability to set a savepoint and then commit or rollback, seems flawless to me.
Oracle on the other case, seems to be doing exactly the opposite of what a database is supposed to do - it's encouraging you to push more and more of the application layer into the database (first plsql, and now Java at the database layer?).
I just want to create tables, select, insert or update data. Not much else. That's what Codd truly intended. Codd would roll over in his grave if he saw the bloated mess that Oracle is today. And you can design a horrible denormalized schema in Oracle just as much as MySQL - neither force any form of normalization at the RBDMS level. (Some applications merit denormalization)
Not to even mention the absolute shameful way Oracle considers, manages and patches security issues.
MySQL is a simple, free relational cruncher. I can't believe a true finance architect considers Oracle more robust that MySQL, especially when its comes to security.
Interesting post, albeit arrogant, but let me ask you, was the problem with MySQL the database software itself, the hardware used, or was the problem with how the schema was designed and/or the application code? Sure, transactional processing in MySQL is new, but do you have solid evidence to support the fact that Oracle has better/more accurate/faster transactional (commit/rollback) processing than MySQL? Also, do you have expertise with MySQL at all? Last, what is your definition of a database? I admire your arrogance, but you would care to back it up with actual helpful data in any way?
How would a.bank TDL stop a phishing attacks in any way without browser-specific support? This does not seem to be a very revolutionary or even helpful idea to me at all.
Huge write operation applications such as a database are not viable in terms of drive longevity when compared to old-school hard drives - at least for now.
Are we miscommunicating? No, I'm just not listening.;-) What kind of resources does/did it take to keep such a system running? Did the airline industry logistics change much over time, or was/is it really a set of static business rules? Also - please take note your a mainframe man - I'm on internet time where I often see 4-6 programming languages used in even a simple application. It gets messy and fast, after a few years of internet-speed-pace, we really need to redesign it clean from the beginning. I also see this a lot in enterprise computing, where business rules and needs change fast. Modular programming assumes a certain kind of design framework to begin with - even some of those assumptions change over time from what I see. Regardless, your story seems to be a clear exception to the rule.
a "patch" might often be a new module rewritten to include the fix Right. The more you do that, the more refactored your system becomes, the more fragile your software becomes. After about 3 years of this (in the enterprise world, from what I see), you need to start over, IMO.
With respect, I do not agree. I believe that the more you factor a software system (and that includes bug patches) the more fragile the system becomes. There comes a time when you need to stop patching, and start over with a SDLC from the beginning. Security needs to be baked in from the beginning as a core requirement.

Doesn't moving to 802.11N and a Radius server mitigate these problems?

Well, this is at least better than using a card reader - pulling the damn card out all the time leads to excessive wear and tear.
