DD on OSX is what I use.
1. Download the desired
2. Open a Terminal (under Utilities)
3. Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices
4. Insert your flash media
5. Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g.
6. Run diskutil unmountDisk
7. Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m
8. Run diskutil eject
UTM is a crock. It loads multiple single purpose apps on to a general purpose computing device and then tries to do it quickly.
The best thing in this field I've seen recently is Palo Alto Networks firewall (www.paloaltonetworks.com).
Knows the applications, even web apps. It can tell the difference between Gmail and gchat. Bittorent and wow torrent patching. Can do user based rules when integrated with AD. And can proxy SSL to look in the SSL stream if necessary. Malware blocking, url filtering via subscription. Because ports or protocols != applications and IP address != user anymore.
Either they don't use McAfee secure ( http://www.mcafeesecure.com/us/ Probably the right website, who knows really ), or their own dog food is garbage.
Either way it is bad gaffe. XSS is pretty well known in security circles. And this mistake is a relatively simple one (output validation or output filtering? please. After you read the linked article, you'll be even more sad they didn't catch this.
I hope not. There are a few pieces that are critical in education that are very difficult to do with distance learning:
1- make relationships with students and teachers. Sometimes the relationships with other students or teachers are what makes the difference in life.
2- the moral component is very hard to teach with distance learning. I'd rather nuclear chemistry or even computer science be taught within a moral framework- because it is easy to use great knowledge for the wrong purpose
3- subtlety of expression- sometimes lost in distance learning- actually it is lost in large classroom sizes sometimes as well.
It was actually a pretty good article. I'd disagree with the order, but those would all be on my list.
The summary is:
* 1. Diablo II
* 2. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries
* 3. People's General
* 4. StarCraft
* 5. Fallout
* 6. Baldur's Gate (and BG2)
* 7. WarCraft III
* 8. Battlefield 1942
* 9. Freelancer
* 10. Allegiance
Read a little further along the article for your answer;
Price? it can be built for less than $250, including packaging. Add in fixed costs and other stuff you have to deal with (like returns), and you can sell it for $300 and probably not go out of business.
I'd like to see that business plan. I suspect if you build it at 250$ the least you could sell it for and not go out of business is 500$. That might be normal.
83% cost of manufacture? At a price point of a few hundred dollars, it is almost impossible to break even, much less turn a profit.
You could survive 80%+ cost of manufacture if you had a very low price point (1$ or less), had no support or return costs, and very low advertising and could sell millions or billions of them. Even then you would want to get down to 50% or less.
I know I shouldn't feed the troll but I can't help it. I can tell you've never used both in more than a cursory way. They have very similar functionality now. Except RPM and yum is actually better with multi-architecture (which is very common with 64bit/32bit mixed on a 64bit system) than apt/dpkg.
And yum is every bit as usable as apt. So I'd say actually yum/rpm has the upperhand until everything goes single architecture again and the migration to 64bit is over. Or if someone fixes apt/dpkg.
On the other hand, for a desktop, the end user should normally never see either. They are likely to see synaptic or some front end.
75$ in 1897 would be a large sum as of recently:
What cost $75 in 1897 would cost $1846.03 in 2007.
According to one inflation calculator. But the linked article as a man in 1989 cursing and that 75$ isn't as interesting:
What cost $75 in 1989 would cost $123.93 in 2007.
As with all recommended books- make sure you read critically:
System and Practice of Network Administration by Limoncelli and Hogan. Not a how to book a why to book. It should be required reading for everyone in IT.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Also should be required reading for everyone in IT.
If you are a router jockey:
Routing TCP/IP vol 1, by Doyle, covers the IGPs.
Internet Routing Architectures by Sam Halabi
And the new world:
MPLS and VPN Architectures (probably vol. 1 and 2 if you have to do Service Provider or VRF) by Pepelnjak
If you are a sysadmin- you should read every shred of manufacturer's documentation on their website especially the login required. But if you can't always read the installation and configuration guides.
If you are a software dev guy:
Mythical Man Month- Fred Brooks
Peopleware- DeMarco and Lister
It will teach you about the why and how of managing the development cycle. Of course the algorithms and tools, and languages books are important, but so is understanding the development cycle and how the rest of the business sees it.
I wish I had a good intro to business text for the slot to recommend to all the types.
There is Out of Crisis by Deming for managers. I could probably come up with more...

1- NFS performance is amazing. It isn't the protocol you have performance problems with it is the transport (layer 1 or layer 2). The protocol in a transport might make a couple % points difference, and that even rarely.
The transport is where it is at. Comparing gigabit with FC is a losing battle for NFS, but compare 10G with FC (even 8G FC) and you have NFS at the top of the performance heap right now for mass storage, only iSCSI is in the same ballpark- but it is also on... 10G ethernet. iSCSI also cannot do simultaneous reads/writes like POSIX compliant NFS can. Direct attach is miserable because you invest loads in disk and can only use it on one server. What if you want to share that data around? Replicate? Islands of storage?
2) use automounter. Seriously, this hasn't been a problem for 5-10 years. Automounter, hostnames, don't use IP addresses (better if you can reverse the addresses).
You obviously haven't maintained NFS either recently or in a large environment.
NFSv4 does things your post doesn't even mention (security and ACL improvements, some performance in some cases).
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
