Laptops and Servers

Laptops and Servers 02/01/2005 09:44 PM
It just dawned on me that in a desk-side box, heat is not a major problem because it’s got a room to cool it off, usually without too many other computers in it. Laptops, however, are like back-room “mainframe” servers in that heat is a big deal. In the one case you’re worried about your users’ gonads and in the other your HVAC budget, but the problem is the same. Right now, the heat budget is a big concern for the guys at Sun who design our biggest servers. It’s no secret that our throughput computing initiative is partly about this: lower clock speeds, more cores, thread-level parallelism. Am I predicting that laptops with SPARC processors will be leaping off the shelves next quarter? I wouldn’t go that far. But I am smelling converging design spaces.

New: Vicomsoft SuperIntendent

New: Vicomsoft SuperIntendent 06/17/2004 10:12 AM
Vicomsoft released SuperIntendent, which combines with the company's network management and security software to provide detailed Internet usage reports.

Internet usage tracker SuperIntendent
comes to Mac OS X 06/17/2004 04:17 PM
Developer Vicomsoft has updated SuperInten dent, a module used as part of the company's InterGate solution, to Mac OS X. While InterGate allows businesses and schools to manage their network connections and Internet firewalls, the SuperIntendent module provides detailed reports of Internet usage. Network administrators can use the module to generate reports by user or IP address, by the types of Web sites visited, by the types of Internet protocols used, and by other criteria. They can drill down through any of the reports to obtain more granular data. InterGate pricing starts at US$99 for five users, with SuperIntendent starting at $349 as a companion module, and scales up from there. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.6 or higher, a Mac with a G3 or better processor and 50MB hard drive space. A 30-day demo of InterGate is available for download from the Vicomsoft Web site, after you fill out a request form.

Muni-Fi Watch; San Antonio, West

San Antonio considers municipal broadband network: A non-profit is working on a plan to offer low-cost Internet access to poorer residents of San Antonio and wants to work with the city to offer free wireless hotspots. The Texas house bill that prohibits municipal networks would disallow this kind of cooperation. (It might even doom some of Austin Wireless's projects that involve city help, founder Rich MacKinnon mentioned during South by Southwest interactive a few weeks ago.)

The reporter quoted the New Millennium Research Council's concern about muni networks, but tried to get the executive director, Alan Hepner, to identify funding for the report and the group, which he refused to. This is a step in the right direction. In the past, they just denied a connection--well, at least their partner on the report The Heartland Institute did. C'mon, Alan, you're listed as an assistant vice president at Issue Dynamics; the NMRC site says it's a project of IDI; the IDI site describes its relationship with NMRC as the council providing clients briefs, analysis, and research; and SBC is a listed IDI client (as well as Verizon, Qwest,, BellSouth, and Comcast, and, bizarrely, several no-longer-in-existence firms Pacific Bell, Ameritech, and GTE). Your cover is blown. Let's drop the pretense. [link via Muniwireless.c om]

West Virginia's pro-muni, pro-competitive bill morphs into deadly form: The quintessential quote from an elected legislator: '"We were moving toward a compromise with the industry," said Helmick, D-Pocahontas. "But they don’t want the bill, and they’re going to be against it."' I've forgotten, Senator from Verizon--who elected you?

The revised bill guts municipalities' self-determination and eliminates their ability to sell bonds to fund efforts. [link via Muniwireless.c om]

Principal bans bl0gging: "not
educational" 03/31/2005 02:31 AM
Cory Doctorow: A Junior/Senior High School principal in Vermont has banned in-school blogging because "blogging isn't educational."

Principal Chris Sousa said the decision to block the site from school was made because blogging is not an educational use of school computers.

But he's also urging parents to keep tabs on their children's blogging, with a particularly close eye to what personal information the student may be posting on sites like Myspace.com.

In 1988, I was the writer-in-electronic-residence for a class of grade 2/3 students in Toronto, reading and helping them with their writing via 14.4K modems using ZModem transfers. Getting them to use to computer to write, revise, and critique one another was an amazingly powerful tool for unleashing their creativity and improving their communications skills. If this prinicpal thinks blogging isn't educational, he needs his head examined: he should be seeking out every student blogger in the school and giving them special time to blog more -- and giving them extra credit besides.

Student Suspended For Posting Photo Of
Principal Breaking The Law

Student Suspended For Posting Photo Of
Principal Breaking The Law 03/24/2005 05:19 AM
Earlier this month, we had the story of some students who were suspended for video taping their teacher lose his temper. The punishment seemed somehow backwards (even if all the attention later resulted in videos of those same students destr oying property coming to light as well). Here's another case that sounds quite similar. A high school student photographed the school's principal smoking on school grounds, in violation of state law and posted it to the web. He also passed out fliers around the school pointing to the website -- which seems to be the argument the school is using to suspend him. The principal is claiming that the suspension was for "harassing and slandering her and being a disruptive influence." Of course, since it appears she actually was breaking the law, then it seems the slander part is tough to show. Of course, part of this points out a cultural change that people need to get used to: the fact that you can be watched and recorded almost anywhere at any time.
