Why don't you ask the people that have actually been there? I've had friends who have been translators at Gitmo. I've been there as a communications support technician. The so-called torture tactics that the media makes up are bullshit. The people get "tortured" because they toss their urine and feces on the guards and refuse to eat. The guards and the people down there just trying to do their jobs, but they are the ones being "tortured." The next time you see a person enlisted in the United States military, thank them, because they don't have the option to not be there. Also, most of these people are actually guilty. You just don't walk into a random town and grab people of the streets and mail them to Cuba. How do you think these people ended up there? These are people that were shooting at us. They were shitty shots and were captured. It's their own fault they are there.
The next time you look at the supposedly bad things that are happening in Gitmo, read some of the medal packages people are getting for being there. You try having someone throw a cup of urine or a piece of feces on you one time, let alone dozens of times a month. These people are hostile, wouldn't surrender, and were willing to die for a religious war they manufactured. Let them rot, or die of starvation(that's what they want to do anyway.)
This may not be a popular opinion on slashdot these days, but from someone who has been there, learn your facts and shut your mouth.
Oh, I forgot to mention I hate OpenView's SNMP alert monitoring. CiscoWorks is nice if you can have CDP enabled on all the devices. Solar Winds was probably the best option for us. However, management decided to go with combination of OpenView and CiscoWorks. OpenView and CiscoWorks are pretty expensive last time I checked.
I've used the Solar Winds software suite, HP's OpenView, and CiscoWorks myself for managing infrastructure for about 3500 devices. CiscoWorks is slow, but has tons of features if you're working with a lot of Cisco devices. OpenView is good for generating logical maps and managing a heterogeneous network with a lot of different devices. Solar Winds and OpenView were about the same in functionality for me. Out of the 3 I've used, I have always thought that I could do better, but I just don't have the time. I know there is OpenNMS, but I've never tried it. Enterprise Management suites are generally useful, but a lot are more of hindrance. If you find a good one, let me know. Good Luck on the search.
I'd beg to differ... I'm in the military and we have a server or two that could handle the slashdotting. However, the bandwidth on the other hand, we don't have that...
Yeah, I had the pleasure of working with 7206 VXR routers for a couple of years. The only reason I remember is because it was out of our traditional setup and it took me couple of minutes to figure out where the configs were being saved. I think I remember the drive being 10 GB and 32 MB of flash...
If I had a little more info, I might be able to help you remember. Information about whether it was a switch or a router would be nice. Now, I do know that some 7200 series routers come with the ability to write configs to a hard drive. I guess it really depends on the modules you put in the Cisco equipment(it seems to me that they have a module for just about anything.)
This software would have to offer much more that just WIC modules to even have me consider using it. Cisco routers may have low clockspeeds on the core chip, but its the ASICs that give them value. Also, take the 6509 for instance, slap in a SUP720B and you now have a 720 GBps back plane. No PC could ever hope to do that. Also, configuring a Cisco router is pretty much the easiest thing ever. I haven't checked out the software yet, but it better be much easier. Maybe they should network with the Open Source chipset guys and design some ASICs and all the other niceties.
I just wrote a Java program to do all that in one step last week. I even took it a step further and used the Sun classes for parsing HTML and Xerces for XHTML. Anyone who has ever had to do a datamining project knows how to do this. I don't really think this is a big deal at all. Just another excuse to apply a Web 2.0 buzzword to a technique that's been around for quite a while. Tutorials on the web these days are getting to be pretty lame. Maybe I'll write a couple myself, at least I have the chance of being recognized on/.
I agree with you, running over people with tanks is easy, and the Chinese aren't afraid to do it. Peasants vs. Tanks, wonder who's going to win that one...
The best idea is the education of the people, then providing assistance and access to weapons when they have enough public support to rebel.
I agree... I would personally use DocBook and Vex. It's relatively easy to setup and because it is based on Eclipse, you could write a plugin or ant file to generate all the output formats you want. If you want to do a web site, you could even set it up to deploy to your webserver too.
Vim is one of the first things I install on any system, including Windows boxen. Then it would be the latest version of Mozilla, which is usually a couple of versions behind in most distros. Then its the Java SDK, as I am mostly a Java developer these days.
