Gold is just a metal. It has no real intrinsic value. You can't eat it, live under it, and cloth in it. Everything else is just a means of common agreement that allows us to easily acquire the thing we need... and want.
Gold has an ammount of intrisic value it's got some very nice electrical and mechanical properties, additionally people have clothed themselves in gold throughout history ref: http://info.goldavenue.com/Info_site/in_arts/in_civ/in_fash_overview.html

Work has decreed that systems are named with a letter and 5 numbers. this is nuts. Whats' more the difference between production Dr, and Dev instances of a system can be just the letter.
By the way cannonical names should never ever contain data. it's stupid. functional aliases/cnames for sure. but never every system hostnames encoding the location, function, operationgsystem etc into a canonical hostname is just wrong.
but hey "ours is not to reason why"
The difference is that you can write an smtp server by reading in strings line by line and treating them as commands, then watch the logs and kludge it until it seems to interoperate well enough. With the OSI way of doing things you have to wear a blue tie for a start then you have to print out all the interface definition documents and spread them out on your desk and write the software to the interface.
man.. I want your desk if you can spread out all the iso interface definition documents on it and be able to read them
It's about the downside of memory becoming cheap causing latency problems with congestion control mechinisms that rely on the endpoints being able to inform the sender when it's sending too fast.
Jim Getty's research blog entry explains the problem in detail.
That works fine until you have 30 sysadmins... because you have 1500 systems in your environment.
Really.. sudo su - is not appropriate in serious environments at scale that need to meet strong AAA and governance requirements.
Nope.. only the fact you sudo su -'d was logged. nothing after that was.
Sudo everything provides an actual audit trail to the actions taken by an admin. which is essential in environments where governance and acountability are required.
So I enjoyed Tron legacy but... there were a couple of problems in my opinion.
It suffered for better technology rather than using the technology to tell a story they got sucked into we can so we should. in particular the whole cityscape inside the computer with neon was a tad cyber punk rather than being a otherworldly reflection of inside the system as the original tron was.
Also the whole thing with the one remaining ISO was very Weird Science ie Inside the computer is a super hot smart chick if you could just get off your ass to go rescue her.
Also When they break out of the grid there's this wasteland with no energy no light nada in the original tron regardless of where they go there's energy around.
The house was also a big problem the idea that Flynn just gives up and goes all zen master is totally whack imho.
Assuming just for a second that this isn't a horrible troll...
Low bitrate have many useful applications. ethernet style bandwidth isn't availible everywhere and where it is availible low bitrate codecs allow you to have more conversations in the same connection
so for example community telco you could use the wifi links to trunk 100's of calls instead of a couple of dozen. more efficient use of bandwidth for meaningful communications is a worthy goal.
