My experience is the same as yours...
I would bet that that parent poster may have had a problem with his CPU binding on the TCP/IP processing overhead...that was also my experience. When I moved to a dedicated TCP/IP offload iSCSI adapter, my performance problems went away.
We have both MSSQL and Oracle apps supporting several hundred users each. Granted it is not 'extreme' usage, but definately a higher volume than what he indicated.
The thing that pisses me off about/. is that should you have a security lapse (ie CitiBank, VA, etc) then the same people who are telling you that your security controls are draconian will be saying 'how in the hell could they let that happen? Didn't that moron SysOp know to lock down webmail?'
Pisses me off royal...
Probably not. My wife, a real estate broker, does price opinions for lending instituions and takes pictures of 10-15 houses every day. Most of the time they are 'loan portfolio' pictures for a group of mortgages about to be sold/purchased.
The ICAO spec http://www.icao.int/mrtd/download/documents/Biomet rics%20deployment%20of%20Machine%20Readable%20Trav el%20Documents%202004.pdf is pretty vague, but the one thing that confuses me is the capacity for storing datafiles on an RFID chip. ICAO recommends at least 15-20KB (notice the big B as in Bytes) for recognizable images and 30KB for fingerprint bio templates...I would guess that iris bio templates are probably about the same.
When I search for RFID tags, the highest capacity ones I can find a 64Kb (notice the small b as in bits.)
Does this compute?
Next, I am amusing that the passport number, birthdate, and expiry date make up the public key and that the software on the other side of the transaction (the RFID reader) would contain the private key (or at least have the ability to pass the encrpyted data off to the issuing state for decryption) and so, is the article's premise even valid?
Like most things reported, the reporter is way out of his understanding of the breadth of this ruling...and has taken the sensationalistic viewpoint to cover his lack of understanding.
If you read the opinion and the dissents, you will find that the opinion is very narrowly defined and in no way reinteprets free speech, it just clarifies the difference between private speech and public speech and the affect of protections for those classifications.

Pretty much what you want...from a decent manufacturer for just $8K (with 15 decent SATA II 250GB drives)
Actually, it is how the Marauder's Map works
Tell that to the parents of the Purdue University kid who was dead in a utility closet for a week or more before they found him.

You must have the same auditors as we do. I just went through the hell of a SAS70 audit that was more invasive than my last rectal exam.
I am in total agreement with both of your posts in this thread.
Yes, works as great as you think it will. BT headset will also double as headphones for MP3s. http://andy.the-broyles.com/ for more on the UX280

Agree completely. Never really understood why people insisted on running the same server both inside and outside...never made sense to me.
