Kamal,

I'd recommend signing up for some of the mailing lists on portmasters.com.  

http://portmasters.com/mailman/listinfo

And, before posting, take a look at their docs at
http://portmasters.com/tech/docs/manuals.html . 

Specifically, you'll want to look at
http://portmasters.com/tech/docs/trb/admin.fm.html#7225 .

If your company wants to advertise during the SuperBowl, but your
competitor has bought up all the available advertising slots, is the
correct response to set up your own transmitter to jam the signal?  Even if
MS has an unfair competitive advantage, what VeriSign did is not an
appropriate or technically feasible response.

Here's an interesting slip:


At the press conference Monday, VeriSign said it is convening
a panel of Internet experts to evaluate the technical fallout 
from its change.


Are they saying that they had neglected to evaluate the impact before they
inserted the wildcard?

Perhaps we can generalize this by pointing out the dearth of SLA's based
upon average-case.

Re: Worst design decisions? (Cisco 4x00 rails)

2003-09-18 Thread Mark Rogaski
My vote goes to the EMI gasket Cisco's BPX 8600 cards.  The gasket was
tacky enough to maintain a nice seal between cards ... enough to remove one
or two adjacent cards when you pulled the card out.

Special runner up nominee is whatever do-gooder decided it was a good idea
to have a cell phone beep incessantly when the battery level is low.  Did
this person never see the final scene of the original version of "The Fly"?

I would suggest calling it "nanog-policy".  I think the policy subheading
is a little more inclusive than "legal" and fits nicely with the
implementation/policy division that many consider to be fundamental in
system engineering.

Just my $0.02,
