I'll give you my suggestions based on a mini version of the configuration I've been using for a couple years (except for the dropbox part which I just started using this year). This is only for Windows but most works on Mac and Linux...

1 Windows Server for Authentication, DHCP and DNS. Unless your users will be off campus for extended periods of time (30+ days) you don't need to worry about a VPN (since the local system will authenticate their account disconnected)

Dropbox for Teams on all systems. On Windows systems you can move the Desktop, Pictures, and Documents folders right into the Dropbox folder to sync and backup all files (Box.Net is an option with more features but I had massive problems with it to the tune of 80% of users and the company didn't seem to care)

Faronics DeepFreeze is a program that freezes the system files for Windows systems. By creating a separate partition for files you can freeze the whole system and avoid problems (just create a files partition and move dropbox and the users files to there). You can also set times for unfreezing for updates (I set it for Sunday at 1am and have the auto updates run at the same time). Macs and Linux can ususally take care of themselves on the security front

Patch Management with GFI Languard is cheap and doesn't require a whole infrastructure to work with. For updating software you can used a Powershell script and a shared "Updates" folder in dropbox to distribute MSI files

On E-mail I use Rackspace's hosted exchange because my users were used to an Exchange server. But you could just as easily get by with Google Apps.

AntiVirus I just use Trend Micro's corporate version but it does have a fairly small server footprint. It could easily run on the one Windows server you have.

Hope it helps. Feel free to e-mail if you have questions

It's apparently messier than that --- the imported GSM phones are showing up with several different builds, only one of which is the official Google version. (And some of the variant builds are not getting official Google updates, most notably for the "volume bug" that was reported on early shipped units.)

It seems to be possible to reflash the official Google build onto units that shipped with some of the variants (some xda-forum posters have reported success), but it might pay to wait a few days for this to settle out before ordering if you're really worried about this.

(I think some commenters assumed I was not a native speaker. English is my first language).

Mastery for me would be mastery of English as an art and as a craft. It's about making something people want to consume. Poetry, novels, songs, technical manuals, plays, screenplays, essays, esoteric manuscripts, perfect commentary, and so on. Those are mediums, I want to create something that lives beyond my lifetime. Mastery for me is writing something that becomes truly immortal communication.

AdBlock Plus will soon allow "non-intrusive" ads by default
I'll make a deal with you. If you don't put flash or animations in your ads then I won't try to block them.

For Verizon and Google: let me remove bloatware from your phones, or I won't buy them. Pity; I was actually going to look into the Galaxy Nexus whenever it comes out.

Seems fair all round to me.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. This is exactly what you should do. Rewarding the current system Google has by removing bloatware from a damn phone (a crazy concept to begin with) and spending extra to get a phone that updates in a timely fashion is horrible.

I guarantee you, your mom could not care less about whatever qualms you may have with Apple. She would much prefer the phone that can run everything you expect it to run, gets timely updates and doesn't come full of bloatware. Giving her an Android device when you know it's not right for the job is like giving her a Bible when she asks for a specific cheesy book. Whatever the reasons you don't like the book, you're just pushing your preferences on her over what you know she would prefer.
Imagine you are Stephen King, and you write a book.

Without copyright I can just copy your book, claim it as my own, sell thousands of copies and you don't see a cent.
No. Actually it requires "verifiable parental consent" meaning you have to be able to prove later you had such consent. This means having them fax a form that you retain, or get a digitally signed email, or the like. This is not trivial to comply with.
This. User experience is not a real driver for Android, and never has been. It only has to be "good enough". It's open, which I applaud. But you are overly optimistic if you thought publicly traded billion+ dollar carriers and manufacturers weren't eventually going to subvert this.

If I understand correctly, the premiere Google handset is not going to ship with a premiere Google product. In fact, with Google's acquiescence it is going to be actively blocked. Google will bow down to carriers in an effort to maximize their ad dollars.

Now, here's the funny part.

It is widely speculated in the Russian part of the Internets that this fraud is not Putin's doing, but rather a frame-up for Putin's party aimed at stirring shit up in the country. The ruling party would've gotten what they needed without this mess, and the voting fraud is allegedly a very rough hack job that was meant to be obvious.

There are so many levels of interpretation when we read a book, and as such, what we get out of it varies depending upon the scope of our view.

prat may have been onto something with his post. I have only read part of this book so far and already I can see the parallels and applications to modern times/thinking. It's funny how zen buddhism seems timeless in it's application.

I agree. It seems a reinforcement rather than a critique of the TechCrunch piece though.

The point abut the Tech Crunch piece was exactly this. Stop saying "we want women to..." and simply stand back and let women do what they want.
Not sure how to interpret this comment.

I don't understand why Wallet is a big deal. For users, it wouldn't be much of a difference from Isis. How is this selling users down t he river? What exactly is the good fight on NFC?

Every phone that ships without Android, or a Google-free flavor of Android, is one more point where they can be left out in the cold when something like Siri comes along.

What does this even mean? Google-free? Show me an Android phone on the market that's Google-free. And, at least as far as I can tell, Siri seems to have been a dud. I certainly don't know anyone that uses it regularly, and I don't know anyone who uses it at all for anything other than simple voice commands, which are not really Sir's value prop.

So as long as they can get most of what they want from these manufacturing partners, they'll take it.

Manufacturing partners? This is about Verizon, isn't it?

I also wish that Google would take a harder stance on stuff like the Nexus experience, and UI consistency, and update frequency. But I don't really see what Google is bargaining with here. What can they withhold from Verizon at this point?

EDIT: I know one person who uses Siri regularly. His name is Nicholas. He seems like a pretty nice guy. A bit snarky.
Actually I don't disagree with that either! I was just thinking "if we were going to do this to a branch, I think Legislative would have the biggest impact."
I am confused how these are "faster" than other templating languages, such as Mako. Don't all of the better templating languages "compile to bytecode"? It would seem that the large number of function calls that would be involved per tag would massively decrease the performance vs. something that was able to treat most of the content as opaque.

Adblock Plus will now allow "acceptable" ads by default
OK, to be more specific: everybody else has implemented some way for kids under 13 to use their service. That Google does this with the same heavyhanded approach they use for everything else having to do with meatspace is just ... hell, I don't know. Lazy? Short-sighted? Klutzy? Ridiculous?

Hahah I was the first reply with the same link... Are you taking the final tomorrow at Yale?
You just illustrated the entire point of the TC article. The "problem" you see (not enough women in startups) is only a problem in your mind. Maybe this is caused by generations of gender role programming, maybe this is caused by biological differences, maybe it's caused by the divine will of the flying spaghetti monster. What right do you have to "fix" other people's voluntary decisions?

What I don't hear is the argument that "women want to run startups and they are being blocked from the field". That would bother me. But a skewed outcome, by itself, is not a problem that needs to be fixed... and why shouldn't there be some scientific rigor applied to social meddling?
And that sums up HP and this whole fiasco, exactly.

I agree, but would say I perfer the stuffed toy idea. I think it captured the kids drawings better.
The majority of real hackers here on HN have almost certainly contributed to an open source project and many have released their own work as open source.

The startup ecosystem exists, in large part, because a huge number of hackers created and freely gave away things like GCC, *BSD, Linux, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Apache, Nginx, Ruby, Python, etc. Without free, open source, software large amounts of funding would be necessary just to acquire the tools needed to build software systems.

People admire Louis CK's position because it strikes a good balance between the need to make money and the desire to share.

Second this, on behalf of my wife, who is a theoretical physicist. Most women also don't want to do physics, because they'd rather have babies, or so she's always been told. And got passed over for a grant because she had a husband and therefore didn't need the money. I'm still pissed, not least because she's naive enough to believe it's right for her to be treated this way.
what is the risk and how high is it? Can you quantify the reward? Even a little bit? Ballpark?
> Lets assume there's an automated process for detecting underage accounts. Why can't they just prevent the account from being used to send email?

Any data collection is forbidden by COPPA without parental verification. You seem to think that's just logging ad targeting data or something. No, it includes any information entered by the child into the service. So not only can they not send any email, they can't receive e-mail. They can't even have an email address! They can't thumbs up a video on youtube, let alone save one as a favorite video for later. You could only view google docs that are globally-viewable, since you can't share a private document with a child without storing some data about them. They certainly can't edit a document!

It goes on and on.

White vs Yellow Gold
It is a manner of balance. There are people that work better with lots of face time, need to discuss problems, etc. There are other people that can do amazing things when they go off the reservation for a while (could be a day or two, could be a week). Problem is, any team is going to be a mixture of these and, generally, most management will insist on having the final say.

In my experience, a good team (with a supportive manager) will find the best equilibrium for getting things done. The team (in concert with the manager and product needs) will understand when people need to work together and when those that need quiet time can go off and do what they need. At the same time, a good isolationist (or a mediocre one, properly managed) will know when it is important to come together and integrate/deliver.

A company (and management) that insists on rigid facetime and all hands on deck, all the time, don't know how to manage projects. I learned late in my career that one really does need to look for signs if a manager is going to be hyper-controlling and if that is a situation you want to be in. Sometimes it is hard, we get worked up in the focus of wanting to succeed and deliver at the expense of our own time and work/life balance.

Some Relevant Information Regarding Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is actually one of the most popular computing services by which you can reproduce quick online money for your online business. You can easily share various applications, software's, PDF files, videos, images with the help of cloud computing. Well, I would like to tell you that cloud web hosting services are completely based on the internet and they are mainly described to deliver a standard model to the IT services.
I hope that wasn't the point I was making. The point I was trying to make was that telling people that, "most women want x" isn't helpful, regardless of whether it's true right at this moment in history. More to the point, it makes life harder for women who DO want to work at startups (whether or not they want to have babies), because it reinforces the stereotype that we don't want to work full time.

I don't want an investor thinking that's true when I walk into a meeting to ask for money. I don't want a CEO thinking that's true when I'm looking for a job. I don't want them thinking it's true about all women, because it's not true about the woman who matters most to me - ME.

It's about more than letting women do what they want. It's about believing women can do the things they want to do - in this case work at startups. It's about believing that many women do, in fact, want to work at startups and that more will want to work at startups if we talk about how awesome it is. It's about the fact that what we do want changes based on a lot of things that have nothing to do with biology or nature, and that sometimes changing what we want is a really good thing for everybody.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate the feedback.
well, if you add "registered voters" who isn't a living breathing person registered at the given district (i.e. so called "dead souls") than you can easily get beyond the 100%.

Honestly, even i (whose opinion about the old country can rarely be made worse than it is) am impressed with the scale of the fraud. Well, 10+ years living outside of the country ... When i was leaving, the kickbacks on government contracts were 20-30%. Recently i learned that kickbacks are normally 75%+ these days. Strangely these numbers looks similar to what i thought and what really is the scale of the fraud.
Reading other peoples code is a great way to learn, but often other peoples code is not very accessible. How often do you look at the code written by a star dev in another department on another project. I can't:

-identify star devs unless I work with them directly,

-look at the code base of the project they are working on if I am not also working on it,

-find out which portions of the code they wrote (without looking through commit logs)

In many places a <i>healthy culture of interaction between "junior" and "senior".</i> is not facilitated by the employer.
I assume you mean "COPPA-compliant account providers that allow children under 13". If so, scroll up in the thread - they all require either faxing, mailing, or credit card payments.
Yes. I read the article, becoming more sceptical as I went. In my opinion, he underplays modern relationships (relegating them all to Facebook-like) and overplays classical relationships.

It would be good to recognise that he is controversial and is an English Lit professor, not a historian or anthropologist.
"Someone presently in the valley, who is worth attracting, generally has no reason to leave" - I get your point but many people once they have families feel pressure to get out of SV probably due to long hours, cost, etc. Not everyone leaves but I've seen many good engineers leave to the more affordable tech hubs (Austin, Portland, Seattle, etc.) I have to admit that once I started visiting these places I can now understand why many people move.
Please don't assume that we third-worlders didn't have 8-bit computers when we were kids. Here in India we had at least two licensed clones when I was 10: dB Spectrum Plus, a ZX Spectrum+ clone by deciBells Electronics and SCL's clone of the BBC Micro B. I hacked on the Beeb at school until I got a Spectrum of my own at home.

I'd posit that it's not necessary to being a good programmer anyway.
I mostly block ads due to speed, usability, and privacy concerns, and if this results in advertisers delivering nicer ads that aren't privacy risks, then I am perfectly OK with that. I think a lot of people agree, and mostly block all ads because it's not yet technically feasible to block only the worst. This should change that.

Thank you for making me aware of this.
From their FAQ on the subject:

>Starting with Adblock Plus 2.0 you can allow some of the advertising that is considered not annoying. By doing this you support websites that rely on advertising but choose to do it in a non-intrusive way. And you give these websites an advantage over their competition which encourages other websites to use non-intrusive advertising as well. In the long term the web will become a better place for everybody, not only Adblock Plus users. Without this feature we run the danger that increasing Adblock Plus usage will make small websites unsustainable.

Part of me is extremely disappointed ABP made this change, but part of me knows there's got to be some compromise between absolutely no ads and annoying, intrusive ads. Not every website can offer a pay service. I'm happy they're making this change with small website owners in mind, and I'm also happy they're allowing users to turn off all ads by going in to settings.
Having unrelatedly just started using CommandT today, let me say how amazing it is.

I've been using vim as a supreme novice for a few years, and have only really tried to get to know it better in the past six months after switching to OS X and getting to use MacVim.

And already in one night CommandT has blown me away with how timesaving it is, and how much time I've wasted in the past not using it.
Someone got a call from Google :)

On a serious note, this is a great move. I will finally install the plugin because I do believe advertising, if done right, keeps the internet free (as in beer).
I grew up less than a mile away from the Fox River, one of the worst in the state, and I must say, I never thought of myself as saddled with a horrible legacy. There are plenty of places to go if you like being in the water.

That's not to say that I don't think all the pollution sucks, I do, I just don't think it factors in very much to the everyday quality of life as much as say, the weather.
"We have agreements with some websites and advertisers..."

Uh huh..
A brilliant comment from the article, posted by KenG:

I’m guessing a lot of hot dogs would get stolen, and then the hot dog supplier would lobby the government to hire guards for hot dogs. If a guard saw a person eating anything that looked like it might be a hot dog, the guard could confiscate all of that person’s food, without any kind of evidence.

Also, since backpacks were often used to hide stolen hot dogs, the government would be asked to charge an annual fee to everyone who used a backpack, so that the money could be given to the hot dog supplier to cover the cost of stolen hot dogs. Even vegetarians, who never eat hot dogs, would have to pay the annual fee.
On one hand, I applaud this. Ads aren't evil, and rewarding ads that play nice would benefit everyone involved. And, it's just an option that can be disabled.

All that being said, I see this ending badly for ABP. It won't be long until someone creates a version that blocks all ads again by default.
In my experience, people who haven't programmed much in any Lisp think that higher-order functions and map, filter, and reduce are the essential elements of Lisp rather than homoiconicity.
