Ok so without divulging to much info about the company:
We are working on an IT training niche small business and are at a standstill about the logistics of it.
So we will specialize in a specific type of training but are undecided how to distribute the software.
It has been brough up to use usb or cd to distribute, but without specific licensing we could not control people just distributing it on thier own….
So it has been brought up to have an online server to provide the service to hold the software. Users would purchase it and be issues a password/usrname to access the server. So my questions are this……
1. Is it feasible to manage the server ourselves with about 1k to 2k users? Any cost estimate for this?
2. Is there any other way to distribute software and protect the privacy of that software?
3. Any ideas how much a SaaS company would charge to host a software of this nature?
Thanks a ton IT community!

Hi all,
So, I’m incredibly frustrated right now. This is a little complicated, but I’ll shorten the story as much as possible:
Ten years ago (1/9/03), I had major leg surgery that required me to be in a body cast for three months and then a full leg cast (L leg) for a full month. When I went to get the full leg portion off, I told the x-ray tech to let me know when he was going to touch my foot (I admit, I’m crazy ticklish, and I didn’t want to jump). Well, he didn’t tell me when he was going to touch my foot and when he did, my leg immediately shot up to 90 degrees. I was in immense pain. My (pediatric) surgeon at the time came running and asked if I heard anything pop, but I don’t think I did; I just felt like the breath was literally sucked out of my lungs. My surgeon advised me to take this up with PT and treat it conservatively (he thought I may have a loose piece of cartilage), which I’ve done pretty successfully. When my knee does bother me, it’ll hurt for about a week at a time and then go away for some time (I’ll get minor catching, a little locking, and general pain near my patella and on the lateral aspect of my knee).
Cut to ten years later, and I’m really starting to have some issues. I’ve had several ankle surgeries over the years (long story), but now my L ankle is finally starting to heal (yay!) — the only problem being that it’s making my knee worse. Now that I am able to finally challenge my balance and really work hard at rehab, my knee is catching and locking, etc. with increasing frequency. I’ve had this particular pain for about three weeks now, and it’s progressively getting worse. I have constant catching/giving way, I am unable to fully extend my knee, and I am incredibly uncomfortable when flexing my knee. I cannot stand for extended periods of time, as I favor my knee. I am still on crutches due to ankle surgery in November, but they are more so for safety at this point than anything else (I have pretty significant atrophy in my calf muscles due to several ankle surgeries in the last year). I am able to walk without the crutches in terms of my ankle, but not with my knee being like it is.
I saw my orthopedic surgeon yesterday (I’ve been with this particular one for almost two years now) and my sports medicine doctor. Both checked out my ankle via ultrasound and said it’s coming along nicely, but my sports med doctor noted that my lateral meniscus on my left knee looks “pretty tenuous.” Nevertheless, he did not feel comfortable making a positive diagnosis based on ultrasound alone, which is understandable. This is completely preventing my rehab of my ankle — I am unable to perform any activities now; previously, I was able to bike, swim, row, and do yoga with very minor discomfort in either my ankle or my knee. My surgeon sent me for an emergency MRI last night, which is apparently clean. No loose bodies, no menisci damage, nothing. The only thing that was noted was that there was very, very mild fluid effusion. BUT in that same surgery I was speaking about ten years ago, I did have a femoral osteotomy and I still have a rather large plate and six screws that ends right before my knee. I was placed in a special MRI machine that supposedly slows down the images to compensate for the scattering from the plate, but I’m incredibly frustrated that my MRI is completely clean. Could it be possible that the MRI is mistaken?
I see my surgeon again on Wednesday, so I’m anxiously awaiting what he has to say. I’ll also show him the MRI then too (my mom is an administrator at an MRI company, so I was able to get in immediately; if I went through the hospital my doctor is affiliated with, I would have had to pay a significant amount of money and also wait quite a while). My doctor said that if I do have a lateral meniscus tear, I would need emergency surgery (mostly because it is completely interfering with my recovery from ankle surgery). So, again, is it possible that the MRI could show up clean but there’s a chance that I may actually have some tear or cartilage damage? I just can’t imagine, based on the amount of pain I’m in, that everything is normal. And honestly, I’m NOT one to complain about pain — I’ve had nine surgeries thus far, and I am absolutely terrified of anesthesia, so surgery is the last thing I want. But at this point, I would definitely prefer going in with a scope to check things out in place of this awful pain.
I apologize for the long post, but I hope someone has some insight! Thanks!

Republican administrations always tout the free market, but when it clashes with the perceived interests of the national security state—of which they are so fond—it gets outgunned. The most recent example is the Bush administration’s threats against a liquefied natural gas pipeline that would run from Iran through Pakistan to India. The administration wants to put the screws (to stop) to anything that would benefit Iran—a member of President Bush’s “axis of evil.” A less jingoistic and more enlightened administration would realize that through free commerce among the rival groups in this region, this pipeline would help poor countries to develop economically, and at the same time reduce the likelihood of conflict and enhance U.S. security in the process. South Asia, the proposed route of the pipeline, is probably the most dangerous region in the world. In recent years, archrivals India and Pakistan have both tested nuclear weapons and come close to nuclear war. Pakistan supports guerillas in the disputed Indian region of Kashmir, a potential flashpoint for nuclear escalation. Although India primarily wants the so-called “peace pipeline” to deliver badly needed energy to a rapidly growing economy, it sees the pipeline’s role in improving relations with Pakistan as a major side benefit. Economic links among potential adversaries can create peace lobbies in those countries because much money can be lost if a war starts. Thus, commerce may very well reduce the chances of war—in this case, an Indo-Pakistani nuclear war with dramatic global implications.International commerce can also open up despotic regimes to Western ideas, including those of liberty and human rights. This happens slowly over time, however, and the Bush administration has little patience for the approach. In fact, the administration desires more rapid results through coercion both economic and military. The United States has long restricted commerce with Iran and is apparently readying plans to attack that country. According to investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, administration planning for an attack on Iran is in the advanced stages and has included U.S. Special Forces missions on Iranian territory to identify key targets. Certainly, Iran has an autocratic regime that has committed human rights abuses, likely has a secret program to develop nuclear weapons, and has sponsored terrorist attacks. But the regime is only a limited threat to U.S. security. Recently, Iran’s sponsorship of terrorist attacks has been against Israel, not the United States. Furthermore, even if the worst case comes to pass—Iran gets a few nuclear weapons—the U.S. arsenal of thousands of nuclear warheads would most likely deter an Iranian nuclear attack on America (that is, if Iran ever produced a missile that could deliver a nuclear payload at such great distances). The U.S. arsenal deterred radical Maoist China from launching a nuclear attack on the United States after the Chinese obtained atomic weapons in the 1960s. The primary goal of even ideologically zealous regimes is self-preservation; getting their home countries incinerated is counterproductive to the spread of their ideology. Any military attack designed to target Iranian nuclear-related facilities is unlikely to destroy them all—because U.S. intelligence on such installations is limited—and is likely to deliver a pro-Western Iranian population back into the arms of the thuggish regime. Economic coercion against Iran is also likely to have a counterproductive result. Forty-five years of economic sanctions against Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba have merely allowed him to rally the Cuban population against the “Yankee oppressor.” Although counterintuitive, allowing free commerce with both Iran and Cuba would have gradually allowed Western products, services, and ideas to chip away at the oppressive ideologies of both governments. But the implications of U.S. economic coercion against the pipeline are far broader than their effects on Iran. To stop the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India natural gas pipeline from being built, the Bush administration is threatening India with the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act, which allows the president to penalize any company that invests more than $20 million per year in Iran’s energy sector. This sanction is called an extraterritorial measure, because it not only penalizes the target nation, but third nations and companies that have commercial relationships with the target nation, as well. Such measures are especially pernicious to the international commercial system. The Bush administration’s refusal to look at the big picture and realize that free commerce is also the best national security policy is puzzling and troubling. The administration has realized the danger to the world of nuclear war in South Asia and has supported the Indo-Pakistani peace process. however, it is also trying to block the peace pipeline, which would foster economic cooperation between the two bitter…

I understand what wikileaks is but now i want to start accessing the material that they leak out. please tell me everything you know about wikileaks in the simplest possible manner. i have visited the website but do not understand what i am supposed to see there. where are the secret documents that they leaked out? how do they release these documents – what source? what website? i tried downloading a couple of torrents of files uploaded by wikileaks but the files are encrypted and i do not have the password with which to decrypt the file using AES Encrypt software. how do they release the information and how can one stay up to date about what is being released next and where the password is? is there any website or torrent from where a complete archive of released documents can be viewed and dowloaded? or any website where i can get regular updates and info about all this? how does the wikileaks system work? are their any other websites or organisations affiliated to wikileaks or that support it online? most of all please share download links if any. Also, do you know of any persons who use this information for scholarly or academic purposes, or do you have any experience of the same?
