Comment Network Setup (Score 1) 257

From a network engineering standpoint this is how I would set up your internal network for the condos. Using the 10.0.0.0 private address block - 10.floor.unit.1-254 for each condo unit. If you are using managed switches and your own router - set each port on it's own vlan - if possible - this allows blocking off each tenant's unit from the others, which prevents DHCP clashes, virus spread, hacking etc... Set up the router with sub interfaces for each of the condo units and a simple acl blocking any 10.0.0.0 from incoming to each of the vlans. This allows access from the internet only, not from other tenants, unless they route back through the internet. Your router should support NAT as well for address translation.

Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School 998

tanman writes "A student at the Houston-area Clements High School was arrested, sent to an "Alternative Education Center" and banned from graduation after school officials found he created a video game map of his school. School district police arrested the teen and searched his home where they confiscated a hammer as a 'potential weapon'. ' "They decided he was a terroristic threat," said one source close to the district's investigation.' With an upcoming May 12 school board election, this issue has quickly become political, with school board members involved in the appeal accusing each other of pandering to the Chinese community in an attempt to gain votes."

Why Microsoft Will Never Make .NET Truly Portable 293

Michelle Meyers writes "Just days before Microsoft claimed to be making parts of the .NET CLR "available" to other platforms, NeoSmart Technologies had published an article bemoaning and blasting Microsoft's abuse of it's developers by pretending .NET was a true cross-platform framework when they're doing everything in their power to stop it from being just that. Of interest is NeoSmart's analysis of how Microsoft has no problem making certain portions of .NET available to Mac users — just so long as its distributed under an "open source" license that forbids any and all use of the code except for educational purposes — yet are terrified of the very thought of .NET being available to *nix users, even if that's to the benefit of .NET developers everywhere. Even more interesting is one of the comments on that article linking to legal documents in which Microsoft employees discuss the (im)possibility of creating a cross-platform code and UI framework, years before the .NET project even started!"
