You will not find a more dedicated firewall system like IPFire, (http://www.ipfire.org). Requires a PC with at least two network interface cards to route traffic, an easy to configure web based front end, back end through the command line, with firewall rules that include VPN, GIve it a go.

My thought about this after the purchase of Micros was "Do you want the combo meal or just the sandwich?" Seeing that Oracle will only take the juiciest parts of them and discard the rest.at fire sale prices. (char broiled, no doubt...)

Alfresco takes the DIY out of this.

You are stating that you need a secure data solution under ITAR, keeping your cloud based data within the USA. Alfresco Enterprise http://www.alfresco.com/ would be a solution, since you can limit what data is being handled by your users via the web, mobile or PC via role based management using Alfresco Share. Developer tools for Alfresco allows you create custom plugins, if one does not exist at the moment, have your developer team create a custom plugin to meet those requirements (say, ITAR??). And it works with either Windows or Linux. Data inside your firewall is kept secure on both sides of the firewall. Will probably catch hell for even suggesting this for your organization.

complaining about not having a full sized USB port? Check the Archos G9 80 and 101 Turbo series tablets that have full sized USB ports/3G modem functionality. Stuck a 32GB flash drive into the back of it and it worked just fine. The hardware might not be the best but it does the job. in addition, add a 32gb microSD card also. along with the 8gb internal storage capacity it has on board.

If you wrote a message that no one could understand due to your lack of cpmmunications skills, which includes the poor grammar and spelling you would not make it in this world. People rely on well-written, clear sentences that actually make a point, not gibberish.

This is a stress test on the servers for Battle.Net, and if you are currently a beta tester for the game, you will still be able to play it as usual. Beta servers along with beta key accounts will be reset on May 1st. As I said, enjoy it while you can. Happy hacking!

Could have saved you some heartbreak if you installed LoJack for Windows/Mac...remote delete or recover your laptop, its a subscription service (1 year $39.99 USD) but your laptop would be screaming its location if it was installed...used it on mine.

That could take care of the pure water problem. But I am not sure Intel thought of that with all that brain power there.

I don't know about the rest of you Slashdotters, but I have fond memories of reading the newspaper every day to see what kind of mischief Opus and the gang in Bloom County were going to do next, such as putting Bill Gates brain inside of Bill the Cat...and Opus getting a nose job. But the best one was the first time we all met him...encountering a Hare Krishna....with the "Pear Pimples for Hairy Fishnuts" reply. Go back in time. Remember a time when politcal humor was meant to be funny and not crass and callous as it is today with people like Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart. Berke Breathed poked fun at situations, he didn't rattle the bear's cage all the time. And as for his children's books, he has made a couple of cute ones, such as "Red Rider Came Calling" and "The Last Bassalope" and one of my personal faves, "Edward Fudwupper Fibbed Big", a story about one child's lie that can cause big trouble. So its sad to see Opus go. He can have a Herrring Whopper on me, heavy mayo :)
