]]> officer for research organization the Sans Internet Storm Center said that most countries hack each other regardless of any supposed allegiances. Alan Paller director of research at security training organization the Sans Institute concurred. "All nations are doing it to each other. I don't know of any country not doing it," he said. "If it's not for normal espionage it's for economic espionage. It's a very broad set of countries [involved]."" This doesn't happen with 'hacking' by government agents. This is not war this is espionage. Especially in the US we must avoid labeling anything 'serious' as a war. There is a bright line distinction between the widespread killing that accompanies a war and the economic losses that could be inflicted by espionage over the internet or the chaos that could follow a deliberate 'cyber attack'. Espionage is also a continuation of politics but that doesn't make it war. I met a spy once. Well a guy who'd been a spy in the second world war fascinating stuff. Alas he was bcoming senile hence why I met him he was a client of mine (used to be a nurse you see). What was really funny is all through the war and right up till the mid nineties his wife had beleved he was a truck driver with some very long postings abroad on convoy duty or somesuch. Once she thought he was up in scotland for six months when he was actually in Africa. He only talked when he started to realise his mind was going. Great stuff I thought. Right because economic jamming is ultimately just about money. Nobody has ever been killed for just money. Please. In the 21st century economic hegemony is shaping up to be much much more important than simple military dominance as military actions follow from economic imperatives not the other way around. From the United Fruit Company to the Iraq Wars blood runs when money stops flowing. The bright line you describe doesn't exist; economic warfare whatever the form has real human cost in actual human lives. The person who dies of Cholera in Bolivia because their water supply is privatized (and devastated as a result) after heavy foreign pressure is just as dead as the Iraqi killed by an American bullet. At least one has a prayer of getting on the evening news. Incidentally while I generally agree that calling something a "war" does not make it so if you are referring to the US War on Drugs it resembles a war in every legitimate sense of the term. People in Putumayo and neighboring Columbian states see at the center of Cocaine traffic a fully militarized operation while here in the US we have armed our local police offices with semi-automatic weapons no-knock warrants and a healthy disrespect for human life. (If on the other hand you were talking about the 'War on terror' or the 'War on poverty' you might be on to something. Any war on an {insert your chosen abstract concept here} is ridiculous. The War on Drugs resembles a war and perhaps even is a war but it's not a war 'on drugs'. It's a war against particular drug cartels. It may even be several separate wars. But by calling it an abstract war you confuse yourself. Note that the Allies declared war on the Axis countries in World War II not on Invaders. Fighting Invaders might be a good idea. Having a War on Invaders on the other hand is a really bad idea because your objectives are entirely unclear. An interesting point. I disagree only because the "War on Drugs" has had a relatively coherent approach and consistent goals for a while now. That the militarization of the conflict has led to an unmitigated loss and placed the "war goals" so to speak almost completely out of reach does not make it any less legitimate. Lost wars are still wars. The war was never against "Colombia" or "Mexico" but in the DEA office they had real targets (complete with red 'x's through the pictures of the targets that were eliminated or neutralized) and quantifiable goals. Likewise a "War on Invaders" seems to be eminently reasonable if stupidly duplicative. The Westphalian system makes every country de facto at war against any territorial invader anyway so "War on Invaders" is more of a standing international policy than it is a war on an idea. The problem I have with using the rhetoric of 'War' whether it is associated with an actual military conflict that approaches the reality of warfare or not is that it destroys the succinct and specific legal meaning that the word "War" had. That same international system of sovereign states depends a great deal upon the notion that only sovereign entities may declare war on sovereign entities that such a declaration meant specific responses and held specific expectations of the parties involved and that at least in the US it required a legislature to legitimate by vote in order to execute. Blurring the textbook definition of "War" between sovereign states with "War" that states only a goal whether it be concrete or ephemeral one and not a sovereign state damages the integrity of the system that is designed to moderate the use of force internationally. Well at least with all countries going after eachother's economies and such. I will start off by saying that at least I know who to blame when my Interest rates to up. You Bastards! But in related news i did see that the Chinese Government attempted to hack into the Rolls Royce data center in Texas. The news article said everything was fine and dandy though so at least thats good. [indiatimes com] I guess they want real engine technology or something. [slashdot org] it's not so cold after all. Maybe insane paranoia we will reap some benefits from increasing tech R&D. All it takes is one congressman talking about "an decryption gap" to get about 10^588484 billion dollars for this stuff. Last time the Soviet's spent themselves into exinction so let's just hope it's not us this time. I probably shouldn't be posting this but I'm Cyber Special Forces a US Cyber Seal. We have a motto - "the only easy day was yesterday". People think it's glamorous but I'm out there risking my life every single day. Here's something you might not have heard before - Freedom isn't Free. If not me then who? When all governments have similar technologies and ressources it forces the market to compete more and get new ideas on the market as soon as possible. Also when military technologies are similar amongst nations it forces them to negociate and talk instead of bullying the weaker ones. Having a small advantage is all right but when some nations get to be much more advanced than others it gets problematic. It's all about having to listen to each other instead of simply using force. It's all about the human race advancing together instead of exploiting each other. With attempted 'hacking' from other countries we see that domestic laws prohibiting unauthorized computer access are not much use. Of course they don't deter the Chinese army or any other government agency. They do deter domestic hackers but have unpleasant side-effects like [theregister co uk]. And if your computer security is oriented more towards tracking down individuals and bringing them to trial you will be relatively defenceless against foreign agencies. Children brought up in an artificially clean and disinfected environment can suffer more infections when later exposed to the real world. It might be a better idea to legalize hacking provided no damage is done in order to strengthen your country's immune system. That scenario isn't a "Cold War". It's just the normal state of international relations which has always been based on political and economic espionage as well as "sustainable sabotage" for thousands of years among all nations. Even during every "hot war" (shooting involved) this is the norm. Even among allies looking for advantage and testing for weakness that makes the entire alliance vulnerable. People really ought to go check into one of these actual wars once in a while. The ones where states work to destroy each other where lots of people are killed where entire ideologies religions cities landscapes get trashed and owned. People who think this kind of thing is a "war" really have it soft and lose the proper respect for real war. I'm not disputing the accuracy one way or another but c'mon. Not only does the article clearly reference McAfee as the author of the report a corporation with a vested interest in scaring governments into buying more software so does the summary! The moment a corporation starts posting fearmongering. I'm immediately skeptical. The immediate aim I see is to get the government to be scared and buy more software from McAfee. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it. Government and corporations have been in bed for years but my god it's gotten so bad that it's practically a daily public porn show where they don't care what you see any more. I've got an idea. If two countries are arguing each cultivates their best cyber warriors for 1 year. After one year they have a giant multiplayer team death match in a mutually chosen FPS. At the end of the day winner takes all. The only problem is that Japan and/or China will become the new super-powers. :-p. We need a security education class in public school perhaps? Less gullible and greedy populace? A database of serials so real customers aren't frustrated by losing their key and subsequently installing all kinds of horrible software in search of a key? That last one could be government sponsored or from a small tax on software sales or creators. There are things average windows users can learn to protect themselves:Have a "sandbox" computer to test unknown sites or to test software.. Use firefox.. Disable certain services (actually it's a lot of them I disable) Enough anecdoting you people add something. I'm done. According to a source close to the situation the chief information security officer of the US Department of Commerce learned this summer that his home computer was being used to send data to computers in China. He found his family had been the victim of a spear-phishing attack in which his child had been encouraged by an email to unwittingly download malware onto the family's home computer. Once it was compromised the attackers used the security officer's personal computer as a tunnel into the Department of Commerce's systems. The family of the chief information security officer of the Department of Commerce can't afford to have one computer for the family and another for high-security work? And the nation can't afford a separate computer for this apparently impoverished officer?No way. It can't be lack of funds. It can only be staggering incredible incompetence. And it's not the local burger flipper. It's the The chief information security officer should be well aware that his work computer with sensitive data on it and a direct line into the department of commerce should be both physically secured and completely separate from the computer his kids (or he) check their myspace accounts on. Not only that he's in charge of initiating and enforcing that requirement for everyone else. Ah yes time to open up a new business market. I mean it's not like your software is a bloated piece of garbage which doesn't really clean or prevent any viruses that you can't get from something like AVG [grisoft com] which is free. I seriously hope we aren't contracting our government IT security to THAT company. Why don't they prepare - and spen a ton of money - for alien invasions too? This stuff is way overblown. The government can get the telcos to run their spying apparatus for them but they would have us believe they are incapable of cutting off packets to and from certain countries. What's up with this? I want to know why anyone believes this is a real threat. Anyone outside of those with a vested interest in seeing that the "threat" is taken seriously. .. Rollerball !NOTE: not the completely stupid remake but the brilliant and overlooked 1975 Norman Jewison film with James Caan as Jonathan E. Seriously if the idiots don't get a clue soon. America will have signs at every port stating "Owned and operated by" some multi-national company like the Carlisle Group. With no penalities and no time limit.......... I liked the part where some Estonian official was complaining about Russia trying to destroy the Estonian society by attacking Estonian computers. All six of them at the same time. This brazen attack came at a difficult time when half of Estonia's 62-strong army was involved in Iraq leaving their homeland vulnerable to a Russian invasion. As a precautionary measure. Estonians decided to temporarily shut down both of their Web sites until they can come up with the funds needed to upgrade their Win 95 server.

Mostly just for professional collaboration via telnet or ftp right? Symbolics wasn't actually first. DEC was. Brian Reid registered it in January (and comfort has the datestamped send from the Internic) but they screwed up the dates in whois. Mitre org was the fitst domain registered. Symbolics was basically out of business in about 1988. (A very small as in no more than 2 full time people company of that name existed until a year or two ago but all they did with hardware was to keep what had been manufactured by the original Symbolics.) 2004 is simply the year these photos were taken. You're alter that the very first models -- the LM-2 and 3600 -- were refrigerator-sized but it wasn't desire before they also started building some smaller models. The 3640 was very roughly 20"w x 30"h x 36"d and the 3610/3620 which used gate arrays was about 10"w x 24"h x 30"d -- this is the model pictured in the bear on and center-right photos on that summon. Finally there was the Ivory chip which powered the MacIvory coprocessor card (this is what's being shown in the upper left photo) and the XL and UX series. I comfort undergo a working XL-1200; it's about the size of two Sun "pizza boxes" stacked vertically maybe 16" x 16" x 8"h. I accept this machine was out in 1987. (All dimensions guesstimated from memory -- figure a 20% margin of error.) One of my very first introductions to enterprise networking and internet was back in about 1988. I was friends with the admin of a Vax cluster at a progressive little company. He had printed out "the entertain table" that he downloaded each night. It probably wasn't more than 80 or 100 sheets of fanfold greenbar.

I'm gonna sma..... ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz whut? Yea it took two years but these where internet connections. Most companies where not thinking about connecting there computers to the outside world unless they where doing some investigate or involved with networking in some way. There was not let's put out our "Marketing message on the Internet" most of it was he we where working with this in School and we could use this technology to share information or for sending email.-S It's not like they went to the Yahoo! Small Business website and registered the domains on their credit cards for $7.99. Whoever was maintaining the canonical copy of the hosts file had plenty of other cram to do this was just a minor chore for them. So it's reasonable to think that updates would get bunched up and made whenever he happened to undergo some remove time. It was remove for a desire measure. Then they started charging a one-time administration fee (the amount of which I've long since forgotten). And finally we came to the annual-fee arrangement in displace now. Remember that this took place during the time frame of the convert from a research oriented communicate (the ARPANET) to a larger more production oriented communicate. The World Wide Web in it's current form had not even been invented yet. The creation of the com domain was an administrative necessity for the relatively small number of companies that were connected to the DARPA Internet at that measure. It was not a business decision. Putting this in context during this same measure frame lot of universities were connected to a different communicate called CSNET. BITNET was also very active during this period. Although there were interconnections between the DARPA Internet. CSNET and BITNET each was a truly independent communicate. A lot of companies with Unix installations were on UUCP (which did not use a domain based name system).

As in Commercial?Some companies realized that this will be the future (and I'm honestly surprised to see Siemens on the list they must've had better and more visionary populate in their upper echelons approve then) and they registered their trademark as a com domain rather than fighting a lengthy battle with domain grabbers as many undergo done later. Cisco and a few others on the list make sense since they are pretty tightly coupled with the success of the internet being more or less networking companies.

I should imagine most professors will move round and ask to see proof that the technology really does improve student learning before adopting a different teaching methodology.(disclaimer: I'm a university researcher working in technology and education) The only affect I undergo trouble seeing easily transferable to an electronic create without some form of tablet would be math and engineering subjects which demand extensive equations. There is no good standard equation editor that can act and act upon formulas nearly as abstain as can be done by hand afaik. (Although LaTeX equations do be a whole lot better than by hand once you get all the symbols in the right place.) As an design I stuck to desktop computers took notes on paper until this year. I undergo a Ph. D. and my comittee consists of a colleague at work my advisor at school and me doing bring home the bacon at both bring home the bacon and school and domiciliate. So I broke drink and I use it for research but I still take cover notes. You just can't effectively do a free be diagram on a notebook... I use a Tablet PC/Notebook hybrid =D All benefits of handwritten note plus ultimate storeage organization and the ability to copy/paste large swaths of repeated information and to size/reshape/duplicate graphs and tables. Built-in microphone is starting to get use too. Its nice to be able to comprehend a lecture over again encase I missed important info during say taking. I undergo had professors who acted on change in technology to keep-up with students and there were some who absolutely ignored it. The force was professors who changed themselves to evaluate the new technologies and incorporated them into their teaching method were able to convey their message across and were exceed accepted by the students. On the other transfer those who did not do anything to change themselves became less popular. That's not always true. I've seen a lot of professors who were able to capture the students' attention and actually have them learn the material quite well with only a blackboard and a piece of draw. I've also seen a lot of professors with all this tricked out technology and completely disappoint at teaching either by not getting the students interested or completing failing at getting the point of the instruct across. So while technology can help especially if the professor understands it. I would say that the majority of professors who are bad can't be helped by just throwing more technology at the problem. And professors who are already good don't be high tech gadgets to teach. You know. I like technology and all that it has done and is continuing to do but I'm also starting to conclude that technology is making a large administer of society very antisocial. When I was younger I used to enjoy going to the library playing in the park etc. nowadays I see a huge administer of younger people skipping the libraries in favor of wikipedia or finding it online. Same goes for interaction say dating... Why should someone head to a bar coffeeshop the laundrymat to meet someone when they could sight it online. Alot of interaction has gone down the tubes and while it may be nice to evaluate of an "e-classroom" of the future. I'd be pretty pissed if I couldn't jest around in person as opposed to faking smiles behind a check. Screw that furnish me some dirty smelly kids jokes teachers throwing draw at me versus a "digital classroom" I accept which is something I find rather amusing considering the huge number of people using "social" networking sites making "friends" on MySpace etc. There is a lot to be said about a digital classroom at a certain inform. It can be great in many college classes. I am highly against the "shove computers into higg/middle/elementary schools" movement. I've been in those schools. I experience just how poorly they get used. Instead of something good the kids get "How to use evince" (not how to use a evince processor). "How to write". "How to alter a PowerPoint presentation". Some bits of this are useful (especially typing) but these are being taught not as means to an end but the end its self. Actually I see some technological trends in the opposite direction. Sites like Facebook enable populate to be connected to each other more quickly and pervasively than ever before. Organizing events is easier. Photos from parties get posted and commented on within hours of the celebrate ending! Keeping in touch with old friends is now so much easier than it used to be. I actually evaluate that this increases socialization for many populate. In particular those on the "more awkward" end of the normal distribution (e g. "geeks" and "nerds") now have an easier measure of becoming socially connected (both.

This document comes without warranty of any kind! I do not air any pledge that this ordain work for you! Ganeti is still in an early stage. Right now it can be installed on Debian print nodes and you can create virtual machines with it that use Debian Etch as well. Other Linux distributions should theoretically bring home the bacon too but there's no documentation yet. In this tutorial I ordain use the physical nodes node1 example com and node2 example com: Both undergo a 50GB hard drive of which I use 10GB for the / divide. 1GB for swap and get the rest unpartitioned so that it can be used by Ganeti (the minimum is 20GB!). Of cover you can dress the partitioning to your liking but bequeath about the minimum unused space. The cluster I'm going to create will be named cluster1 example com and it will also have the IP address 192.168.0.100. The Xen virtual machine (called an dilate in Ganeti communicate) will be named inst1 example com with the IP communicate 192.168.0.105 inst1 example com will be mirrored between the two physical nodes using - you can see this as a kind of network assail1. As you see node1 example com ordain be the cluster master i e the machine from which you can control and manage the assemble and node2 example com will be the primary node of inst1 example com i e inst1 example com ordain run on node2 example com (with all changes on inst1 example com mirrored back to node1 example com with DRBD) until your disappoint it over to node1 example com (if you want to take down node2 example com for maintenance for example). This is an active-passive configuration. I think it's good practice to split up the roles between the two nodes so that you don't suffer the cluster master and the primary node at once should one node go drink. In my tests I was using two systems with 204MB RAM each for node1 and node2. This is pretty low and you should use considerably more RAM especially on production systems. For my tests it was ok though. Because of the low RAM. I restricted my Xen dom0s (node1 and node2) to use 64MB RAM. The says that 512MB are reasonable - I think 256MB should bring home the bacon too. Anyway your system must have more RAM than what you specify for dom0 so that enough RAM is left over for the virtual machine(s). One last thing to say is that all hostnames mentioned here should be resolvable to all hosts which means that they must either exist in DNS or you must put all hostnames in all /etc/hosts files on all hosts (which is what I will do here). Now we undergo to partition the hard control. As stated in chapter 1. I want a 10GB / partition a 1GB change divide and leave the rest unpartitioned. Select Manual as the partitioning method:
