How to: Set up a thin client cluster

For my final project in my CSC-231 computer organization class at Furman University, I had to set up an Ubuntu server to run some services. I’ve always been interested in computer clusters and PXE technology, so I decided to install the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). In this tutorial, I’ll show how I set up a basic thin client server that provides a NAT for thin clients to tunnel through for internet access.

Should Food Advertising to Youths be Regulated?

“Make your buck go further at McDonalds!” Weighing in at 19 grams of fat and 390 calories, the $1 McDouble cheeseburger aims to fill you up without emptying your wallet. Fast food advertisements appear everywhere, from billboards on the side of the highway to children’s TV shows, and brand recognition can make all the difference. In fact, in a 2007 study by Stanford University, researchers found that young children perceived burgers in McDonalds packaging to taste better than identical food in unbranded packaging, showing that children are certainly influenced by advertising (Robinson, et al. par. 7). Psychological influences are also known to adversely affect one’s opinion of food.

Indeed, a company’s public image can make or break its bottom-line, and although advertising has a strong effect on many people, the decision to buy a product rests with the consumer.

In this brief investigation, I shall attempt to outline all the problems that illegal immigration is causing Californians and how some of these issues have extended into the domain of national security. I will also discuss some of the proposed solutions from all sides in terms of dealing with illegal immigrants.
