I have not yet succumbed to joining facebook either, but:
Facebook gives you control over what is public, the stuff that you want
everyone to see, and what is private - stuff you only want your friends
to see.
Potential employers often check out facebook these days, so while you

What you are suggesting is product-based testing, i.e., something along
the CCIE or MCSE lines. Do we really want LOPSA to get into this area?
This doesn't really go in the direction of professional certification,
but *does* require constant updating and oversight.
Also, it is already possible

Hi, Jeremy:
Have you considered a policy, possibly linked to performance reviews,
for 'frivolous' use of bandwidth? In these days of financial pressure,
laying down a reasonable-use policy may have a very good return on
investment.

There's 'solving the problem' and then there's 'meeting the letter of
the law/order'.
This is a problem that can't be truly solved with technology, and

However, sometimes you have to jump through hoops to keep the officials
happy and then work the 'human' issue off-line.

You could consider a strategically-located repeater, or perhaps a 'wifi

Put the gaming adaptor in location where is gets a good signal (near a
window or up high?) and then the laptop's need only be within cable
range, and opera
My wife's uncle uses the usb-WiFi-long-cable approach to good effect in
some hotels. (I got a 'WiFi consulting' call from him the other night
looking for ways to improve beyond this trick.)

particular AP, this approach could work w

At $WORK, we do Linux patching without breaking root mirrors or other
such techniques.
We do extensive patch testing before rollout to production, so that by
the time the patches get to production, it's a non-issue.
We have 'development' and 'test' (staging) environments that are always

Weekly is far too frequent for most environments. Unless a very

quarterly patching schedules can be difficult. Rebooting weekly is out
