I managed to compile and install it . But I can't find instructions of how to run it. I was thinking I should shutdown the dm and then start it somehow. Release 1.5 looks like a production name, am I missing something ? Any links to the docs or howtos ?

Draft Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Update Expands Powers and Penalties 141

Posted by Unknown Lamer on Monday March 25, 2013 @07:10PM from the did-you-really-expect-anything-else dept.

Despite calls to limit the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, it looks like Congress is planning to drastically expand the law and penalties. walterbyrd writes with a few of the major changes listed in the draft bill (22 pages): "Adds computer crimes as a form of racketeering. Expands the ways in which you could be guilty of the CFAA — including making you just as guilty if you plan to 'violate' the CFAA than if you actually did so. Ratchets up many of the punishments. Makes a very, very minor adjustment to limit 'exceeding authorized access.' Expands the definition of 'exceeding authorized access' in a very dangerous way. Makes it easier for the federal government to seize and forfeit anything." TechCrunch also reports rumors that the plan is to push the bill through quickly for approval with a number of other "cybersecurity" bills in mid-April.

Asset Tracker works nice for us and is integrated inside Request Tracker. The web site only has the download item and the software is a little old but it runs surprisingly well.

FAT 32 files must not be bigger than 2GB, so the problem could be dealing with such a big files. Installing ext3 or any linux filesystem solves the problem ,but raises the user ownership issue the original submitter had.

Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules
by Steve C. McConnell

I'm in no way related to it, I just own it and I think every project director should have one. It contains a lot of ideas and hands-on tips you can immediately try on the field. The last section, named Best Practise, is a practical reference guide. There is also a chapter if you already are in a crazy project and want to rescue it.
