If you run a network then it shouldn't matter to you what runs over the network. Presumably you're charging the end user appropriately for their usage. If not, then start. When they ask why their bill is so high, tell them it's because of updates (probably not true in an era of streaming everything) and that they could lower their bill by running a local update server. Ultimately it isn't your problem to deal with. Make sure the network is up and stable, and that's it.

There is a solution for Microsoft, and it's built in to Windows server. It's called Windows Server Update Services, and it does exactly what you're talking about for Windows.

Mac OS also has exactly the same thing, called Software Update services and it's included with Mac OS Server.

Neither of these are Unix based, but if you've already invested in 1000 clients, it's pretty likely you have at least one Windows/Mac OS server for all the other ancillary things they provide.

I wish I had mod points to bump this up. This is the real answer, Lenovo using weird hardware with no Linux drivers, not some conspiracy with Microsoft.

The problem though, and the point people are missing (I think, though maybe I'm giving Holder too much credit) is that when they do get a warrant, they still can't access the data. Again, maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but law enforcement should be able to get a warrant and then access that data, through a legal search and seizure. At least the way it's being reported, with iOS 8 even if law enforcement brought a legal warrant to Apple, Apple wouldn't be able to decrypt the data. Won't be long before Google and Microsoft follow suit.

I know, I know, the Slashdot response will be "but NSA!" So be it.

...from Paul Venezia.

Yes.

Clearly, this was a phone that was developed and ready before the merger, probably already in production. Microsoft is deciding that rather than dump whatever inventory was produced, they'll sell it. Smart move. It would be more telling if they released another Android phone in six to nine months.

Not quite. Mach 7 is 2.38 km/s, and escape velocity is about 11 km/s.

This argument is completely flawed. Using a currency like dollars is inherently safer because it is backed by the government of the United States. Consumer protections exist (in the form of the FDIC) that ensure that if you choose an institution that fails, your deposits are insured and will be returned to you. There is no such protection for Bitcoin, or any other crypto currency that lacks any form of backing. The reason that banks don't deal with crypto currency is that it's too risky. An asset that can gain/lose 30% of it's value in a given day isn't very worthwhile to a bank.

Those show nothing of the sort. Wish someone would actually read the materials before writing the summary.

A couple of years ago, you would have been right. Anything with a 3.0 or above kernel has all of the Hyper-V modules in the kernel. For CentOS or RHEL, you can use the integration tools. I run about a dozen Linux machines on our Hyper-V cluster without any issues.

No need for expensive Cisco equipment. I have cheap Net gear switches that are completely LACP capable, and some cheap Realtor adapters support teaming now. It's more a driver issue than anything. If cell manufacturers designed their equipment and built the right drivers, you could easily dynamically team a cell and wifi connection.

Not sure I understand. Isn't this what philosophers are supposed to do?

Apparently that isn't the hard part, as the poster already identified a company that will do it.

First off, I'd like you to show me any single course that requires 8+ hours of study per day. If there is one (or you think there is) you're probably doing it wrong.

Sorry, I meant to say I have a three year old who was one when I started my Master's.
