Yes, I think it is dead. The reason is because there is no motivation for people to give Karma. If people don't have motivation then they wont do anything.

So, this is my take from a guys point of view. I am not super enlightened or anything but I have seen this before.
Ladies, you have to understand that for many of the individuals on here you are stepping into the mans world. No sexism is really intended it is just that you are uncommon here because women are not as involved in these parts. This has mostly been considered a mans world and many of the individuals her are adapting to it. It is not that you aren't welcome, you most certainly are. It is just that it's a little werd k? Hell, I am adapting to it. I am sure you might be saying "Why can't these guys just act like they normally do in public?" Well, the funny thing is that, this is normal. How most men act around women in public is *not* normal. Why do I say that? Well, most of the time when guys are in public they can't act the way they want to at work, or school, or whatever. Every other time we are most likely trying to get in ur pants. Here, coupled with a little more honest or rude talk assisted by the thin veil of Internet anonymity men feel like they can be themselves. Now, luckily Shuzak is blessed with (by the avatars which might be a blessing and a curse) some attractive women so most guys on here are probably struggling to fit you into the proper context.
Doodz, please stop either insulting or hitting on the chix. I see a lot of you flirting, and trust me I know. This is coming from a guy whose nickname used to be "The Skeeze" so I love me some flirting. It is a dream to see women that are into the same sh*t you are and that you would love to do a little snoggin with but try to place them in the context they want to be in. I feel your pain. Sometimes it isn't exactly clear and sometimes they flirt too but they are struggling as well I am sure.
Moral of the post, everyone is trying to get their bearings and feel out how they need to interact with people so be patient and keep trying to work with it.

This feature was mentioned in the previous megalist that I posted and I have been mulling it over for quite some time but super communities are most definitely needed especially if we wish to create feeds per community or group of communities.
However Rob brings up a good point. The addition of a community being in multiple super communities would definitely been an interesting idea.

Again, the whole key is not to induce limits, but to encourage the system to keep itself healthy. Thats why I think that there needs to be negative Karma as well as positive Karma. Sure, we all want a utopia where nothing is negative and we all get along but that is not realistic. Systems have to be self balancing for them to behave intelligently. Right now computer systems and their corresponding software are not intelligent enough on their own to regulate there behavior so we have to build in methods for people (who are intelligent) to regulate the system because people are intelligent.
In fact is someone wants to game the system there are probably more people that want to keep them from gaming the system than want to assist them.
It is my usual opinion that putting up roadblocks will only hinder social software. Instead we should put up sign-posts and call-boxes.
As for the theoretical Karma limits. I am frugal with Karma yet I give out much more than 50 per day. This is because I try to read and contribute to every post and reward those with valuable contributions. So, in theory, you would be limiting the contributions of the most active members with this feature.

Hmmm, well, there should be some upper bound, but waaaay up there. IT could be done but we really won't know how it will behave until someone hits it, and then there will be "collateral" damage, there always is. I think that the KISS and the Agile programming methods might apply here in that intelligence shouldn't be programmed in until it is actually needed. Then the code should be refactored.

I used to play this game a lot when it was in beta. It was originally slated to be released as an expansion pack follow up to the orginal Return to Castle Wolfenstien (Which I played heavily as well) but for some reason it didn't end up launching commercially. Wikipedia link here.
I haven't really played it in a while just because I haven't had much time and kind of forgot about it. Has there been any changes or improvements in the game? I was especially impressed with the gameplay. I felt it really promoted teamwork and objectives.

The only problem with this is that if this is put into place then the Karma system must be fairly refined before hand. For instance the Karma system and how it works should be well documented and Karma should not merely work by what people contribute but also a set of metrics in the system because A) People are lazy and people who contribute lots of small topics will not be rewarded and instead people who only contribute 1 or 2 big topics will. B) System based Karma and not popularity Karma will minimize "Karma Whoring" otherwise things might turn into a big popularity contest rather than a reward based on content contribution.
I do not agree with needing Karma to create topics or communities. The health of social networks relys on ease of contribution. Barriers to contribution only slow evolution and progress. So, if I don't have any points and really want to make a community topic what will a person do? They are going to comment spam until they get some. What does that mean? Less quality material contributed to threads.
Suggest Shuzak! - Posted By Ryan - Karma received: 1 |

The thing is that I DON'T think people plus comments that are intelligent or comical in threads. I think that most people just browse over them and even though they might like or contribute to a thread they don't add Karma.
For instance there are AT LEAST 4 people that have read this thread and the average (rounded down) comment is 1. So, even if NO ONE ELSE read this thread that means that even though each one of us is replying to this thread (obviously because we found something that someone said interesting) there is only an average of 1 Karma point per post. That is pretty much the bare minimum.

I think there are certain "stages" in which people revel in their geekdom. Those stages are thus enhance depending on if the person in question is a douche or not. My list0r:
1) First they are afraid of their geekhood
2) Then they are embarrassed of their geekhood
3) Then they are proud of their geekhood
4) Then they mock their geekhood
5) Then they loathe their geekhood
6) Then they divorce their geekhood
I am somewhere in stage 4. I can tell you that the reason I am such a f*cktard on here is because frankly I design enterprise computer systems, networks, and software in my head 24x7. My job is sifting through thousands of chunks of hexidecimal pieces to find out what nuances are causing a disturbance in the motherfracking force. I don't really want to come on here and go on and on at serious length. I really try to keep it down to only talking geeky when I am trying to help someone or contribute to something, but even I stray.

@myself
On thinking a little about what I previously said about encouraging contribution, I imagined that someone else could postulate the converse that if someone didn't have any Karma then needing some would propel them to contribute, thereby increasing contribution. I don't know this is a tough one and I guess it depends on several variables that are currently unseen. I wonder if it will just take implementation and testing in order to figure out which way the pendulum will swing...
Then again, it is also a preference on when you think the carrot is necessary and when you think the stick is necessary.

I have been running it for a while on my work workstation. I probably do not think I will upgrade my home Windows workstation to Vista. I just do not think there are a lot of advantages to justify the money. I suggest the same thing to business users.
However, I do think that a lot of the features under the hood will be a boon to mom and pop when they go to buy their next Dell and do not know how to maintain it.
I really want to see what Microsoft will do in the next version (then again I look forward to what everyone is doing, namely OS X, Ubuntu, and RHEL). Frankly they dropped the ball a lot with Vista and while nice in a lot of respects if falls VERY short of where they *should* be.

Thats a good idea as well but I think we cannot just leave it up to the user to decide.
There needs to be some type of either moderation mechanism or something else before hand. For instance I created a "Ruby" community a while back, only to find that someone created another Ruby community after I did. What if every single person decided to create their own community every time they want a new topic? This divides the strength of a person and will dived the crowd.
A community is something that people join out of common interest not a fiefdom they create for themselves. As always these things are a delicate balance.

Well, again I think everyone makes good points. Businesses do need to make money to support their activities in the market and make a profit at the same time. Then again, anyone with a brain immediately gets irate when they see a company making incredible amounts of money of people that really have no better option and then using it for nefarious means. Unfortunately it appears that many times the nature of business is to take things too far in the interest of profit.

Please please, let us not get on the DRM kick, I think most of us here rightly despise DRM in almost all if not all its forms. Doing so here would most likely be akin to the Pope giving Jesus a lecture on the intricacies of the New Testament.
And no, you shouldn't have to circumvent your own operating system but in doing so maybe many consumers will come to understand many things we already know.
I am a very big proponent of Open Source Software. I try to use nothing else if I possibly can and I promote its use to others. However, just like physical tools some do the job better, quicker, or cheaper than others. It would be foolish to deny such a thing.

The short answer to your question is... yes it requires its own WAPs. You cannot buy third party WAPs (that I know of). The long answer to your question is below and after reading you might guess why.
Well, usually *Enterprise* wireless solutions usually have what is called *Wireless Security Switches*, or *Mobility Switches*, or some permutation of that term. What these are are fiber or copper connected boxes both large and small (depending on how man DAPs, WAPs, Wireless Bridges or what not) that act as control units for the WAPs. What happens it when one of your WAPs come online with either a static or dynamic DHCP address they then associate with the switch. This allows the switch to control the WAP and upgrade code, change configuration, and enforce security policies on the DAPs before they ever come online and after as well. After all that the WAPs then tunnel all IP traffic back to the security or mobility switch usually in an IP-in-IP protocol such as LWAPP or CAPWAP. This allows the client traffic to terminate in a different or multiple VLANs depending on how you have it configured. This way you can have a WAP come up in a building VLAN but then terminate the traffic at the security or mobility switch in a different security zone. These switches also allow for resiliency and high availability with n+1 or n+n redundancy depending on your configuration and your wireless equipment vendor. What this means is that if you have optics go bad or fiber gets cut all the WAP will detach from the mobility switch and hunt for a back up and when they find one attach to it, bringing the wireless network back online despite the loss of equipment. Depending on how big you get and how many wireless or mobility switches you deploy you may also have need for a *Management Server* that controls all the wireless or mobility switches which in turn control all the WAPs.
Usually these systems come with other advanced features as the ability to advertise multiple SSIDs or WLANs for different uses such as an open network for guest users that gets dumped into a restricted usage WLAN for untrusted users and a WPA2-ENT or 802.11i WLAN for your trusted corporate users.
They also come with a whole lot of other stuff which if I elaborated on would bore the bejesus out of everyone, unless of course you wish to here it.

Lol, well, I have had it on my work computer since we do a lot of testing. I have been using it as my primary workstation/laptop since it went into RTM, but then again we have a software assurance site license for just about every single Microsoft product and I have a lot of stuff that most would think overkill. Don't get all snooty about Microsoft because we have a site license for Red Hat Enterprise (All versions), Oracle, and OS X.
I don't really understand why people would be so snooty about it though. Vista isn't that bad. Its got its good points and its bad points just like everything else. I really don't like the DRM capabilities and didn't like them when I heard about it as "Paladium" so I probably won't be putting it on my home computer. Who ever said anything about buying it.

Well, the big distinction here that needs to be made is what VoIP really is.
Now, many people are using hybrid services like Skype, Ventrillo and etc which are really just P2P voice applications. Then there are hybrid services which do P2P VoIP plus get switched into the PSTN. Then there is true VoIP, no soft clients, no proprietary protocols, just handsets that talk in SIP to each other and *maybe* drop into the PSTN for legacy lines.
As for your set up, there are lots of things that can be interfering. First, if you are at home and are trying to use this, make sure you cut out as much latency and jitter as possible. You can maybe look at QoS filters on your switch or router but I doubt that whatever you have has 802.1p diffserv tagging capabilities. Some have a more proprietary like queuing mechanism built in to prioritize certain services. Try that. I doubt your normal ISP has queuing and prioritization but you might want to check. If you have a NAT router and your service uses a static port, try opening up that specific port and using port forwarding to forward it directly to that particular host. This will keep the NAT translation from slowing things down and what not. Otherwise the client may have to do STUN or another type of tunneling protocol to get around the translation.

This should work at first, but there should also be some type of community "permutation" collision check. This would be an admin feature only. For example:
Say you have a community named "Linux" well what if someone came along and tried to make their own community named "Linux". Say they didn't like the original community and wanted to "grief" them or split the populace then they would create another group called "Linux Operating System". So, the feature would then not only check for a duplicate name but would also check against a list of community name permutations such as "Linux OS, Linux, Linux Operating System" etc.

Partly because I am interested in the fact that I have an idea to myself and then for some reason a few months later someone else has capitalized on that idea and is now making a ton of money. What I did was I bought a nice Moleskine notebook and as soon as I get an idea I immediately write it down and schedule a follow up mind-map on that idea.

I concur. Digging it so soon will most likely get it dugg down with Duplicate Story, Ok, this is lame, or worst yet Spam status.
I think the best bet would get a core group of people to do grass roots recruiting, while adding content. Then add features, continuously, and I mean don't even stop to breathe and then resubmit it to Digg as a "Version 1.0" story. That would go over well.

I think Digg is an excellent source, hell, thats how I got here.
The only thing is that being of the Digg crowd, I know that we tend to be locusts of sorts when it comes to information. So, once the information is consumed we move on. The key is to engage the user with plenty of content coupled with features to create more content of interest so that the interest stays. I think that those are the catalysts for a sustained reaction.

BTW David, just so you know the reason Sam suggested not using a "flat" AP is because you mentioned a "Corporate Wireless Solution". The big difference is when you start deploying WAPs it becomes very very difficult to maintain them as you scale up.
Think of it this way, you got that one AP in your office but say your office grows and you start adding more. Right now it might just be two or three but what if you need to cover a whole floor of a building, on low power you are looking at about 4-6 APs (depending on the composition of the building materials), say you need to cover a 3 story buidling with basement, now you are looking at ~24.
Then you have to start keeping documentation on which is which and who is on what. The biggest problem comes in when you make configuration changes. You need to change your WEP key on your home router you just hit 192.168.x.x and Bam, you click a couple links and the AP is reconfigured. Now, imagine doing that to a hundred. Factor in code upgrades, mobility groups, separate VLANs, MAC filtering for extra security, guest access, etc.
See where we are going?

Well, I also think that maybe delete isn't a good idea just yet. Rather it should be a multi-pronged approach.
First, admin users should have permissions on the back end to "Merge" communities.
Second, a group should be automatically deleted and the Topics previously entered into it should be moved into a default or orphaned Community if there are 0 admins and 0 members. (This also plays into my user level scheme of owner to (1) founder a mid level of (many) moderators and then finally (many) members.)
Third, a community can be deleted by an admin only at the request of its owner. The right to delete a community should not be directly given to the owner should the own decide to "grief" the members.

Hmmm, interesting question.
Well, the first key is to gather users through word of mouth marketing/grass roots campaigning (other forms of marketing usually require capital).
The second key is to create features that allow users to contribute to what they care about. This is a key component of Shuzak now but requires a parallel interest in guiding users in creating content in a coherent form.
The Third key is to find users willing to contribute more than the others (i.e. "Super-nodes").

Huh, interesting, it appears to have solved itself.
Note to everyone, when reporting bugs have someone in the QA side verify the bug report before sending the dev team the CR.

* Layer 2 Only, you don't want to see our Layer 3 diagram
We have a single fiber connection to Internet 1 and a single fiber connection to Internet 2. Both shaped to around 250Mbs.T hese connect Juniper M20 running BGP with our ISP. The M20 connects to two physically separate but logically identical halves of our network TippingPoint UnityOne IPS's that then connect to two redundant Nortel ERS 8600 (think Cisco Catalyst 6500) Layer 3 switces that branch out into several different security zones that then aggregate multiple gig fiber connections to a NetScreen 5400 Routing Firewall. That then terminates on 4 other Nortel ERS 8600 routing switches that terminate connections from about 800+ Nortel 5500 Series Enterprise Switches in buildings (most are 48 Port, 10/100/1000, some with PoE).
Yah, its a big network.

Well, I mean, I guess it isn't a "Sub" community per ser. More like a specialization. IT is a pretty big Super-set. Right?

Well, I do more network security stuff than host security, but we use Metasploit (http://www.metasploit.com/) extensively with Nessus (http://www.nessus.org/) and some proprietary stuff that I can't remember.

Thanks guys. The community is now "Computer Networking" (no not just "Networking" cause then you got social networking and who knows what other types of networking.
It is going to try to focus on the heavy duty stuff.

Go ahead and elaborate...

I would tend to agree with Sam on this one, except if you want more options then you could try this. If you are a Cisco shop and have a good VAR or contracts that give you discounts then you may want to go with them. See this link for details: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/index.html
I really hate recommending Cisco (I come from a non-cisco shop).
Second wireless vendor is Symbol, but they do mostly warehousing and logistical stuff.
Third behind them is Aruba (http://www.arubanetworks.com/)and they are showing a lot of potential. Microsoft tapped them as their global corporate wireless vendor so they are going to be sitting on plenty of capital that will fold nice features into their products.
Fourth I would say is Trapeze Networks (http://www.trapezenetworks.com/). This is what we use except it is rebranded by Nortel (http://www.nortel.com/) and sold to us through our current contracts. They are the only other "Enterprise" wireless vendor IMHO which can really scale. Their product is not fully mature but they are adding features to the code like there is no tomorrow.
Be sure to take into account a wireless vendors partnerships with other wireless security vendors or their own solution for for Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS/WIDS).
Other than those I don't know a lot. We are running a network of closing in on 1000 access points so my view is a little different. If you aren't looking for something that studly then you can always look at converged border router devices that come with wireless, routing, and security features built in. I personally like the Juniper SSG 5 / SSG 20 (http://www.juniper.net/products_and_services/firewall_slash_ipsec_vpn/ssg_5_slash_ssg_20/index.html).
Hope that helps!
