J.C.R. Licklider: *Man-Computer Symbiosis * "Man-Computer Symbiosis" is a key speculative paper published in 1960 by psychologist/computer scientist J.C.R. Licklider, which envisions that mutually-interdependent, "living together", tightly-coupled human brains and computing machines would prove to complement each other's strengths to a high degree: "Man-computer symbiosis is a subclass of man-machine systems. There are many man-machine systems. At present, however, there are no man-computer symbioses. The purposes of this paper are to present the concept and, hopefully, to foster the development of man-computer symbiosis by analyzing some problems of interaction between men and computing machines, calling attention to applicable principles of man-machine engineering, and pointing out a few questions to which research answers are needed. The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and that the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today." ?

By default symbolic links of full permissions and there is now way to remove them (at least that I am aware of). Since its the users home directory they can remove them. I looked into acl's but haven't found an obvious way. A solution which didn't prevent the user from removing them, but which just made it so a simple rm wouldn't remove them would be good enough. I just don't want a simple rm to be able to remove them in order to avoid the number of accidental removals (and then support requests for me to restore them).

Well, symlinks have permissions but it appears that even if you set them, you can still delete the symlink. Perhaps write a login script that restores them all, so when dumb users delete them you just say "Log out and log back in" -- Paul Betts From lingo.13 at osu.edu Mon Nov 6 22:45:51 2006 From: lingo.13 at osu.edu (Alexander J.

That's a good plan, basically turn the slowest (functional) PC into the login/file server, as even a fairly slow PC (P2-era) can most likely handle this. Make sure that the box has a decent amount of RAM though, that'll help. We may want to find more RAM for those 256 and 128 MB guys too; it'd be nice if we could get all those boxes up to 512. -- Paul Betts From bettsp at cse.ohio-state.edu Tue Nov 7 11:44:01 2006 From: bettsp at cse.ohio-state.edu (Paul Betts) Date: Tue Nov 7 11:44:10 2006 Subject: [Fwd: Re: [opensource] Office Computer Name] In-Reply-To: <454FBB31.7020100@cse.ohio-state.edu> References: <454FBB31.7020100@cse.ohio-state.edu> Message-ID: <1162917841.12217.18.camel@persephone> > Subject: Re: [opensource] Office Computer Name > Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 07:54:51 -0500 > From: B A Bair > > Ahem... > Where's the first programmer, Ada Lovelace? or the inventor of the > compiler, Grace Hopper? In this, I propose a deal: The OSUOSS club will name one of their PCs Lovelace if you (Bettina) encourage ACM-W members to attend an OSUOSS meeting. Personally, I think it's a win-win situation, as both of our organizations are trying to get students excited about computer science, so the more people we can get, the better! This department has far too many students who aren't learning about what's cool and new about their field, especially wrt women in computer science; I think that a lot of CSE student organizations from the outside seem like "boys clubs" and I'd like to see that go straight out the window, at least with OSUOSS. We include _everyone_, regardless of how technical you are or anything else, we definitely have topics for everyone, and if we don't, anyone can make their own presentation on what they're interested in! -- Paul Betts From dinan at cse.ohio-state.edu Tue Nov 7 12:32:18 2006 From: dinan at cse.ohio-state.edu (James Dinan) Date: Tue Nov 7 12:32:49 2006 Subject: [opensource] erubycon - Enterprise Ruby Conference, February 2007 Message-ID: <4550C322.8020100@cse.ohio-state.edu> Cross-post from cojug's list: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [announcements] [ANN] erubycon - Enterprise Ruby Conference, February 2007 Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 19:38:20 -0500 From: Rob Biedenharn To: announcements@cojug.org EdgeCase and AgileConsultingLLC are proud to announce erubycon, the first conference specifically for demonstrating Ruby's place in the Enterprise world. Many of you out there have stood back and watched as Ruby and Ruby on Rails have gained popularity. Many of you have had the same questions: * Can I use it for real applications? * Can I integrate it with my current systems? * Will it scale? We have gathered an exceptional group of speakers to come and share their experiences with Ruby in Enterprise organizations. These speakers will answer these questions and more. The speakers have had extensive experience and success in many environments such as Java and .NET. They have also found tremendous success and enjoyment with Ruby. * Bruce Tate, international speaker and best selling author of nine titles including Better, Faster, Lighter Java, and Bitter Java has recently written the popular From Java to Ruby: Things Every Manager should Know will give us an overview of how he has helped organizations accelerate their development and increase effectiveness thanks to the Ruby language. * Justin Gehtland, co-author of the recent Pragmatic Ajax and Rails for Java Developers will share his experiences and successes he has had recently as founding partner of Relevance, an organization that has successfully leveraged Ruby inside the Enterprise. * Stuart Halloway, founding partner of Relevance, co-author of Rails for Java Developers, international speaker, and trainer who has trained some of the top consulting organizations in the country on Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Stuart will bring his exceptional teaching style and extensive experience to the conference and demonstrate what this language can do for you. * Neal Ford, Application Architect for ThoughtWorks, author of The Art of Java Web Development, and international speaker who frequently speaks about Enterprise development for the popular No Fluff Just Stuff series will come and speak about the success ThoughtWorks has had with Ruby and Ruby on Rails in large organizations. We will have announcements soon about many of the other exciting speakers you will get to hear from at the conference. We will provide a balanced view of the state of Ruby and what it can do for your organization. erubycon takes place February 9-11, 2007 in Columbus Ohio. Registration opens November 15, and pricing will be announced soon. Tickets will be limited in order to offer a more intimate setting and chance for everyone to hear the speakers. A lounge area will be setup for speaker Q&A sessions, coding help, or just to hang out. Stay tuned to erubycon.com for more details as the days progress.

The event takes place on Friday 17 November at 7pm, at Barnes & Noble the Ohio State University Book Store 1598 N High St Columbus, OH 43201. Brute Force is the story of how the global standard for data encryption was broken by a group of hobbyists, cryptographers, and civil libertarians in 1997, even as Congress debated whether to relax or to increase restrictions on the use of cryptography by American companies and private citizens. Written by Matt Curtin, one of the project's coordinators, Brute Force tells what happened behind the scenes in the first-ever public break of a DES message, an event that changed the use of cryptography online forever.

It's a great chance to go and hear Matt talk about breaking the Government's encryption standard! Especially for those who didn't get to see him when he visited us last year. We'll be forming a group to attend this event so please respond (via mailing list/email, newsgroup is still broken) if you'd like to join us! Hope to see you there, -Jim.

We require more knowledge then the typical lab monitor jobs, because we give our students a lot more responsibility. We're primarily interested in the ability to independently learn, but you need to have enough knowledge that you are productive quickly. This job is a great learning experience and resume builder. As a general rule of thumb, we let the students set their own schedule, so its a job that fits around classes and other activities very easily. You should be able to work at least 10 hours a week. If you need to take time off then all we ask is an e-mail or phone call before you scheduled time to work. Normally I would wait until next quarter to advertise the jobs, but over the quarter break we're hoping to transition mail servers. In addition, I know they're looking to make some big changes to the undergraduate computer labs in our department, so we're looking to be very busy and could really use help. So especially if you'll be around over break (or at least for some of it) consider applying now. If interested please send an e-mail (with resume if you have one) to wtriest@chemistry.ohio-state.edu In the e-mail please highlight any relevant experience (please list anything relevant, including building your own computer).

Just create an initial Windows partition in Setup that is the right size and leave the rest unpartitioned, then do the rest of the partitioning in Ubuntu. > There are 2 solutions I've found. > > 1) Do something screwy with windows, put grub in the MBR and have it > point to the screwy windows thing along with any other OSes. > > 2) Leave NTLDR in the MBR and copy some .bin file or other from a > grub operation into a directory on the windows installation, which > will add the linux boot partition to the list of options that NTLDR > presents. 3) Boot into Live CD, open terminal, "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" Note that sometimes this won't quite work right, because the BIOS sometimes likes to rearrange your drives, so that the picture grub-install sees isn't the same as what the bootloader sees.

You are exactly right, the mbr was overwritten. One of the nice things about grub is that all your settings live in a config file on your hard drive. This means its really easy to re-setup grub. I assume you can boot a live cd (come on, you're running ubuntu). There may be an Ubuntu utilitiy to reinstall grub, I don't know. The generic way would be to mount your partitions, chroot to where you mounted it, and then run grub-setup (or if that fails run grub and type the necessary commands). Since I'm a gentoo user, that's how I installed it in the first place. Let's say /dev/sda1 is windows /dev/sda2 should be / /dev/sda3 should be /boot (other partitions may exist, but I'm trying to keep this simple) Then mount the partitions mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/tmp mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/tmp/home Then chroot into those directories chroot /mnt/tmp Try grub-install (it never seems to work for me). If so that should be it. If not, then run grub Grub has a "shell" that runs. Since the hard drive is hda, then if you have no sata or scsi it should be the first hard drive (hd0 in grub speak). When you see hd0,0 that means the first partition of the first hard drive. Under linux you have hda which is a parallel ata drive. Then you have sda which is sata, scsi, usb etc. With grub, they are all hd, but the numbering is literally the order the bios sees them. So if you have sda and hda then hda could be hd1 (although more hten likely it is hd0). The comma seperate a hard drive from its partition. To sort out which hard is which, I usually just tab auto complete and I am able to fairly quickly figure it out. Assuming hd0 is sda then you should run root (hd0,1) setup (hd0) Just so I can remember this in an emergency, I have an entry in my grub.conf with the correct info. That way I boot the live cd, mount, and can tail my grub.conf to know what I need to do. Finally, add windows to grub. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (that's a lowercase L, commonly the file is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf Or not, on gentoo I just have a grub.conf, but I really thought menu.lst was the proper file. Google it or read the info file if you really want to know) At the very bottom add: # For booting Windows NT or Windows95 title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 If you need more info googling really should solve it (which is probably quicker then waiting for a response). Obviously I'm happy to clarify any steps or explain what they're doing better. Also if some one sees any errors, please correct. I've been under the weather lately, so thinking straight isn't my strong point at the moment. --Bill From lingo.13 at osu.edu Tue Nov 28 19:56:23 2006 From: lingo.13 at osu.edu (Alexander J.

You can do this using fdisk in linux or diskpart in windows. Hopefully, once the active/boot partition is set back to linux the MBR code should jump to the right bootloader. -Jim.
