There's a Zenoss/Puppet integration here: http://github.com/mamba/puppet-zenoss/tree/master
Bias alert, I'm the Zenoss Community Manager.
Zenoss was written with the intention of making it easy to monitor and manage tens of thousands of network devices remotely. By using templates and device classes, once you have a single machine monitored the way you like, you can apply that to thousands of other devices, making individual changes as necessary. Zenoss handles network hardware, servers (Linux, Unix and Windows), databases, applications and just about anything else you need to monitor. There's a network map and a Google map mashup for mapping. No need to start from scratch, there's already an Open Source (GPLv2) Python-based solution with a large community and installers for Linux and OSX and a VMware image to get started (plus source for everything else). Lots of documentation and frequent releases, with commercial support available. If you're coming from Nagios or Cactii, you can reuse any custom plugins you've developed.
Short answer yes.
For whatever reason Schneier did a review on a case from 2 years ago. If you read that page you realize that this was analysis done in 2007. Since then the NJ Supreme Court ruled that this particular breathalyzer is accurate and can be trusted.
Sports. Tell me how I can get live HD sports and I'm listening. Everything else can get downloaded, ripped or scraped from another source.
First, off, whether or not things are still bad, trending towards a broader definition of fair use is still good. Not only in-and-of-itself, but it provides another wedge to start undoing all the other bad stuff and overcoming the factors that lead to abuse.
Second, let's not make the mistake of focusing too much on hosting and take downs. Maybe the RIAA can still force a take down of a mashup, but if the accepted law is that my copy of the Grey Album is legit, my iPod is less likely to be seized at the border.
Put no trust in cryptic comments.
