Ok, now these 'storage towers' myspace blog quizzes ake me go uuuuhh and aaaaah: Wogg 17 ellipse tower . BEAUTIFUL!
Talk about big brother watching you -- Michael Peck reports how "someday the paint on your wall may spy on you." [" Sensors in Your Paint? " Defense News, 19 March 2007]. Peck's article focuses on the possibility that nanotechnology could change how we monitor affiliate banner verything, including people. Tom Barnett calls this kind of 24/7 connectivity the "Evernet." What some hold as the promise of the future, others see as the bane of the future. Peck writes: "Nanotechnology inhabits a netherworld of objects just larger than individual atoms. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter — or 10 hydrogen atoms lined up in a row. The period at the end of this sentence is about 1 million nanometers in diameter. Nanotech focuses on objects that are smaller than 100 nanometers and larger than a single molecule. They are not just smaller versions of the macro world, like you would get if you chopped a sheet of metal into tiny fragments. Objects behave differently at the nano level." This different behavior at the nano level is what generates both the hope and fear of nanotechnology. On the beneficial side, nano sensors, because they operate on a molecular scale, can detect harmful agents before they reach lethal concentrations. Peck reports: "Nanomaterials can sense small quantities of materials, such as nerve agents.
I was reading Joseph Tardo's (Nevis Networks) new Illuminations blog and found the topic of his latest post ""Built-in, Overlay or Something More Radical?" regarding the possible future of network security quite interesting. Joseph (may I call you Joseph?) recaps the topic of a research draft from Stanford funded by the "S tanford Clean Slate Design for the Internet " project that discusses an approach to network security help desk consulting alled SANE . The notion of SANE (AKA Ethane) is a policy-driven security services layer that utilizes intelligent centrally-located services to replace many of the underlying functions provided by routers, switches and security products today: Ethane is a new architecture for enterprise networks which provides a powerful yet simple management model and strong security guarantees. Ethane allows network managers to define a single, network-wide, fine-grain policy, and then enforces it at every switch. Ethane policy is defined over human-friendly names (such as "bob, "payroll-server", or "http-proxy) and dictates who can talk to who and in which manner. For example, a policy rule may specify that all guest users who have not authenticated can only use HTTP and that all of their traffic must traverse a local web proxy. Ethane has a number of salient properties difficult to achieve with network technologies today. First, the global security policy is enforced at each switch in a manner that is resistant to poofing.
I just read with great interest Allison Shields' post " What's Wrong With the New Generation of Lawyers?" referring back to a post Larry Bodine penned back in August called " Generation Gap Hurts Law Firm Marketing ." I really like Allison's take and find myself in strong agreement with her (which happens a lot, actually). What she writes above parallels (though much more eloquently) what ran through my mind when I first read Larry's post. I don't contest the American Lawyer survey findings that 69% of associates don't expect or desire partnership. I, too, hear this in both law and accounting firms. I agree with her (a former practicing lawyer) that one cannot draw the conclusion (as did Larry) that associates not aspiring to become partner directly correlates Deep River ith a lack of desire to market. Allison nicely explains why lack of a clear desire to be partner doesn't necessarily equate to lack of willingness to market. Just because a lawyer may not want to make partner or have a life-long legal career doesn't necessarily mean that young lawyers aren't interested in their firms, or in marketing. Most young lawyers realize that marketing and bringing in business will increase their professional reputation as well as their own personal bottom line, whether they ultimately stay with their firm or not. From what I witness, more often than not, associates are more interested in, and willing to participate in, "organized" and "preplanned" marketing activities than are partners.
