  6. Re:Terminal server, drive images, isolated network on Securing a High School Windows XP Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    what do you mean "running off" the servers? Are they thin clients? do they mount user homes? Both can be solid choices if they are used correctly.

    On our network we use NFS (with kerberos authentication) to mount all the user homes on client PCs in our labs, and we have only had a few minor hookups (and only one incident of unscheduled downtime) in the past 2 years. Also, on our windows side, we use windows 2003 server to host a domain, which all of the client computers are connected to, that hosts user accounts. Everyone has their own profile, and no one can write to c:\ (standard for limited users in XP). Any applications that are installed only affect the account on which they were installed.

    Since the Zune can't even play videos, that's a moot point. Yet another reason why Zune won't supplant the iPod.

  14. Re:Even better! on FCC Lets Wireless Devices Use Empty TV Channels · · Score: 2, Interesting

    um....not really....The amount of IP bandwidth which could be pushed through this wide spectrum would easily support broadcasted (255.255.255.255) IP tv along with a general purpose internet connection.

    Dont believe me? Think about it this way: we are switching to digital broadcast which will greatly shrink the need for a wide spectrum of frequencies. Now add a tiny bit of IP overhead (which would probably be cancelled out by newer compression technologies which would be a lot easier to distribute to these IP based boxes), and you have a general purpose internet line.

    To address privacy concerns, the packets would be a UDP broadcast. No one knows what you are watching.

  22. Re:forgive me if this is a dumb question on How a Wiring Rack Should Look · · Score: 1

    Well, I have a very similar router wrt54g, and I dont use it wirelessly. I have found that its worth the extra few bucks to get a router if dd-wrt can be loaded on it, so I can have the control of a $500 router (telnet, vpn, QoS, being able to adjust stuff like connection timeout, etc). With dd-wrt one can easily make one of these routers sustain 800+ simultanious connections, not to mention croning wake on Lan, or booting a comptuer remotely.

    When those companies are already at the top, what does it matter? why would they not like "free market"?

    In recent years there has been a turn on supporting big businesses like AT+T, which was split up because the company dominated all of the telecomunications in the 80s, providing poor service to consumers at exorbant prices. If the government didn't step in they would still be doing that.....oh wait......
