Homo lepto dermis arise ....

Have you ever encountered the human sub genus ... homo lepto dermis.

Or the terminally thin skinned.

Those who take slight at the merest challenge to their intellect or moral code irrespective of the reality in front of their eyes.

A self obsessed group, above dragging their knuckles but not quite at the level of self determined independent thought.

Stuck in an evolutional cul-de-sac they are unlikely to die out, principally because they are too stubborn.

So, what do you think about simulation ...

Ok, this is not a scientific study, the audience participation is likely to be from a self selecting group etc. So lets call this a poll amongst friends, followers and like minded. A question that is structural to my research is ... Do you think simulation can replace real hardware, when teaching networking?

But a US Government Accountability Office report has suggested that many in-flight wireless networks could expose the plane to being hacked or remotely controlled . In fact it’s of such a concern to US authorities that when a well-known computer security expert made an admittedly ill-thought-out joke about doing so on Twitter, he was promptly arrested, his computers confiscated, and subsequently banned from the airline . And all he was suggesting was to make the oxygen masks drop down. So it would appear that the stuff of Hollywood may jump from fiction to fact: Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore starred in the 2014 film Non-Stop , where a passenger hacking the aircraft’s internal wirel...

It is not about buildings ...

Recently I visited a Cisco Academy in London - located in what I can freely describe as a humble environ. However, the quality of the kit and the skills and motivation of the teaching team put it all into perspective. It really isn't about the buildings. Yes, in other roles - I have been to centres boasting the best/shiniest/fab new builds. Yet from the resource and mindset of those involved. I think that the modest building and the excellent team beats a pretty site any time.
