Playing with the OLPC XO

Thanks to super-cool Robert Nagle who loaned us his XO, we have something new to play with this week. I will add some video of the XO in action, but for now here is a photo of the XO with our lovely web page open. Check back for more on the XO. Thanks, Robert!

Katherine ,

Thank you and Robert Nagle for the chance for a LJ testdrive of the OLPC.

Can you add pictures of all the I/O connections with your next info?

By the way, great job on the new anti-spam measures on the LJ blog system.

Certainly

I will definitely add those images.

Thanks for the kind words, and I am sorry our filter caught you in its spam trap. We added some additional measures to ensure that actual humans are able to get their comments on our site. In the past the spam has been so overwhelming that legitimate comments were getting lost in the sea of spam, and there were just so many that I occasionally missed real ones while obvious spam slipped through.

I hope our tweaks eventually lead to a far friendlier system. Thanks for participating!

Update: Here are those photos

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
