This Day in Legal History: Pivotal LGBTQ+ Rights DecisionsOn this day, June 26th, in legal history, two pivotal Supreme Court decisions significantly advanced the cause of marriage equality in the United States.On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court delivered its decision in United States v. Windsor. In a 5-4 ruling, the Court struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which had defined marriage for federal purposes as the union between a man and a woman. Edith Windsor, the plaintiff, had been denied a spousal tax exemption after her same-sex spouse's death, prompting her to challenge the law. The Court held that DOMA's definition of marriage was unconstitutional as it violated the principles of due process and equal protection guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. This landmark decision allowed same-sex couples to receive the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples, marking a significant step forward for LGBTQ+ rights and equality.Two years later, on June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court issued another historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. In another closely divided 5-4 decision, the Court declared that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right under the 14th Amendment. The case consolidated several challenges from same-sex couples who had been denied the right to marry or have their marriages recognized by their home states. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, stated that the right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment, same-sex couples cannot be denied that right. This ruling effectively legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, ensuring that all states must perform and recognize marriages between individuals of the same sex.These decisions on June 26th were monumental in affirming the rights of same-sex couples and dismantling legal barriers to marriage equality, marking significant victories for the LGBTQ+ community and setting precedents for future civil rights advancements.Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently surprised defense attorneys with her unexpected votes against criminal defendants, despite her background as a former federal defender. In two cases decided at the end of the term, Jackson broke from her liberal colleagues. She joined the majority in a case broadening expert witness testimony and dissented in another that reinforced the right to a jury trial.President Joe Biden highlighted Jackson's unique experience as a public defender when nominating her in 2022. In Diaz v. United States, a 6-3 decision, the Court sided with prosecutors on expert witness testimony, allowing experts to discuss what most defendants generally know. Jackson joined Justice Clarence Thomas's majority opinion and wrote separately, suggesting the rule could benefit both prosecutors and defendants.In Erlinger v. United States, the Court ruled 6-3 to apply the Apprendi v. New Jersey precedent broadly, requiring juries to decide facts that could increase sentences. Jackson dissented, arguing that Apprendi limits legislative efforts to create fairer sentencing systems. She suggested overturning Apprendi, which surprised many in the defense community given its importance to defendants' rights.Some notable defense attorneys have expressed disappointment in her positions, though acknowledging that public defender views are not monolithic.Justice Jackson Takes Unexpected Positions in Criminal CasesA recent study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and Workforce revealed that law school graduates earn a median salary of $72,000 after debt payments four years into their careers. However, this figure varies significantly depending on the law school attended. Graduates from seven elite law schools, including Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard, have median earnings of over $200,000 after debt. In contrast, graduates from 33 lower-ranking law schools earn $55,000 or less.The report, titled "A Law Degree Is No Sure Thing: Some Law School Graduates Earn Top Dollar, but Many Do Not," shows that law graduates typically leave school with a median debt of $118,500. Columbia Law School offers the highest return on investment with net median earnings of $253,800 after four years, followed by other top-tier schools. These elite institutions account for about 20% of law students and tend to send over half their graduates to high-paying jobs at large law firms.Conversely, 20 law schools have graduates with median net earnings of $50,000 or less after debt payments, including Cooley Law School and Atlanta's John Marshall Law School. The study utilized data from various sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau and the American Bar Association, to assess employment outcomes, salaries, bar passage rates, and debt.The report underscores a significant disparity in financial outcomes between graduates of top-ranked law schools and those from lower-ranked institutions.Law grads' median earnings of $72,000 after debt show 'vast gulf' in pay, study finds | ReutersLawmakers in the United States are pushing for the first major federal data privacy legislation, the American Privacy Rights Act, which has bipartisan support. The bill, sponsored by Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, aims to establish a national data privacy standard. This would allow individuals to access, delete, and opt out of their data being used for targeted advertising, and would create a national data broker registry.The U.S. has lagged behind other regions like the European Union, which implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018. Industry groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and TechNet, argue that the bill lacks safeguards to prevent states from adding their own regulations, which could complicate compliance for businesses. They advocate for a unified national standard without additional state-level regulations.Privacy advocates, however, contend that the bill would hinder states from addressing new technological developments and responding to emerging privacy issues. They fear that federal pre-emption could stifle the progressive influence of states like California, which often leads in privacy regulations. Ashkan Soltani, from the California Privacy Protection Agency, warned against setting static regulations given the rapid pace of technological advancements.Democratic Representative Suzan DelBene supports the bill, citing the current "patchwork" of state laws as problematic for small businesses. The bill will undergo a markup hearing on Thursday, a crucial step before potentially advancing to a House vote.US lawmakers push for federal data privacy law; tech industry and critics are wary | ReutersA federal judge has ruled that Walt Disney Co. must face an antitrust class action lawsuit filed by 25 subscribers to YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. The subscribers allege that Disney's agreements with rival streaming TV providers, which included access to ESPN content, restrained trade and led to higher prices. Judge Edward J. Davila of the US District Court for the Northern District of California found that the plaintiffs plausibly alleged Disney's conduct harmed competition in the streaming live pay TV market (SLPTV).The lawsuit claims Disney's agreements prevented other streamers from offering lower-priced bundles excluding ESPN, thus raising subscription costs and protecting Disney-owned Hulu from competition. Despite partially dismissing the initial complaint, the judge allowed an amended complaint to proceed, alleging violations of the federal Sherman Act and state antitrust laws. While the court dismissed claims for damages under the Sherman Act, limiting potential relief to an injunction, it allowed most state antitrust claims to continue, except for those under the Illinois Antitrust Act and Tennessee Trade Practices Act.The decision follows the Justice Department's plans to review a proposed new streaming service by Disney, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. for potential consumer harm. The case, Biddle et al v. Walt Disney Co., continues to highlight concerns over anticompetitive practices in the streaming industry.Disney Must Face Antitrust Class Suit by TV Streaming Consumers This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Discriminatory DistrictingOn June 10, 1946, the US Supreme Court rendered a pivotal decision in Colegrove v. Green, which upheld the validity of uneven congressional districting plans. The case involved a challenge to Illinois' districting plan that disproportionately concentrated voters into large districts in the central part of the state, failing to balance districts according to population. The plaintiffs argued that this uneven distribution diluted their voting power, violating the principle of equal representation.However, the Supreme Court, led by Justice Felix Frankfurter, ruled against the plaintiffs. The Court held that issues of districting were "political questions" not subject to judicial review, thereby placing the responsibility for fair districting on state legislatures and Congress. Justice Frankfurter famously stated that courts should not "enter the political thicket," emphasizing the separation of powers and judicial restraint.This ruling had significant implications for the future of electoral fairness, as it effectively removed federal judicial oversight from the districting process. Nevertheless, the decision in Colegrove was short-lived. Less than two decades later, the Supreme Court reversed its stance in the landmark case of Baker v. Carr (1962). In Baker, the Court established judicial standards for addressing political questions, paving the way for greater judicial intervention in ensuring equitable districting practices.The evolution from Colegrove v. Green to Baker v. Carr marked a transformative shift in the judicial approach to electoral districting, underscoring the dynamic nature of constitutional interpretation and the judiciary's role in safeguarding democratic principles. The concept of the political question doctrine, pivotal in these cases, defines the limits of judicial intervention in matters deemed more appropriately addressed by other branches of government.Cities across the U.S. are grappling with an October deadline to inventory their lead drinking water pipes, a precursor to the EPA's proposed mandate for full replacement within ten years. Charleston, S.C., for example, faces a daunting task with its 6,100 lead pipes, estimating a cost of $100 million for complete removal. The city's water system, like many others, is concerned about the financial burden on utilities and customers.To comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), water systems would need to replace 10% of their lead pipes annually from 2027 to 2037, a significant increase from the current requirement of 3% per year. This expedited timeline aims to reduce the risk of lead poisoning from drinking water, a priority for the Biden administration. Despite the 1986 ban on lead service lines, approximately 9.2 million remain in the U.S., primarily in states like Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.The initial step is to identify all lead service lines by October 16, using historical records, excavation, and computer modeling. Cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and New York have significant numbers of lead pipes, while Philadelphia and Baltimore report many service lines of unknown material. Some smaller systems, particularly in Ohio, struggle with the manpower and funding to meet this deadline.While cities such as Denver and Milwaukee are ahead in their inventories, many others argue that full replacement within a decade is unrealistic without additional federal funding. The Philadelphia Water Department and Baltimore's Bureau of Water and Wastewater have requested more flexible timelines or replacement criteria based on lead levels in water.Charleston, alongside other cities, urges the EPA to reconsider the stringent mandates, highlighting the substantial cost and resource challenges. The debate continues as the EPA reviews feedback and prepares to finalize the LCRI regulations.Cities Face ‘Impossible' Deadline to Remove 9 Million Lead PipesTesla is seeking support from its large base of small shareholders to endorse Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, as major institutional investors remain divided. The company's June 13 annual meeting will focus on this issue, following a Delaware court's ruling against the package. Tesla is campaigning to secure votes from retail investors, who tend to favor management but often don't vote.Big investors have shown mixed reactions; T. Rowe Price supports the package, while others like the California Public Employees' Retirement System and Norway's sovereign wealth fund oppose it. Despite this, Tesla's retail investors, who make up a significant portion of the company's ownership, might help pass the pay package. So far, around 90% of retail voters have backed Musk's compensation.Tesla also proposes reincorporating in Texas and re-electing two directors, including Musk's brother. The outcome of these votes will indicate the level of confidence in Musk's leadership. Proxy advisors Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis recommend voting against the pay package, citing its excessiveness. Historically, pay packages have a lower approval rate when both advisors oppose them.Additionally, Tesla's outreach includes engaging with online influencers and offering factory tours to motivate shareholders to vote. Influential supporters like Omar Qazi and Alexandra Merz actively encourage voting on social media, highlighting the unique grassroots effort among Tesla's retail investors. This unprecedented mobilization reflects the strong community backing for Musk despite the contentious pay package.Focus: Tesla turns to Musk's small shareholder fans to back $56 billion payday | ReutersA law firm involved in a $5.6 billion settlement with Visa and MasterCard defended its role after disclosing it unknowingly submitted fake claims. Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman informed a U.S. judge that other parties also submitted fraudulent material in the antitrust case. The firm, which terminated its relationship with nearly 2,000 merchant plaintiffs, claims it is being unfairly singled out. Visa and MasterCard settled in 2018 to resolve overcharge claims from millions of merchants. Milberg, which did not help craft the settlement, sought funds for its clients but recently revealed withdrawing dozens of false claims due to a third-party referral source. The class attorneys suggested punishing Milberg or referring it to the U.S. Justice Department. Milberg countered that it is cooperating fully and called potential penalties "absurd." Law firm defends work in $5.6 bln card fee case after disclosing fake claims | ReutersA coalition of over 20 lobbying groups, led by TechNet, is urging Congress to amend the draft American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) to ensure it establishes a uniform national data privacy standard that preempts state laws. The coalition argues that the current draft perpetuates a "patchwork" of state regulations, causing confusion for consumers and hindering economic growth.In a letter to House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Ranking Member Frank Pallone, the coalition stressed the need for broader preemption to override state laws like California's Consumer Privacy Act and Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act. TechNet, representing major tech companies like Apple and Google, as well as smaller firms like Etsy and Instacart, expressed concern that limited preemption would result in significant compliance burdens.The draft bill has not yet been formally introduced in either the House or the Senate. The coalition remains in discussions with some lawmakers to push for amendments that would ensure full preemption of state laws, aiming for a more streamlined federal standard. However, the path to passing federal privacy legislation remains uncertain.Trade Groups Urge Congress to Beef Up Federal Data Privacy Power This is a public episode.

For the fifth episode of Tales From A Disappearing City I am joined once again by my good friend Howard Slater aka Flint Michigan. I first met Howard in the mid 90's at Dead by Dawn which was a legendary monthly party that took place at the 121 squatted art and community Centre in Railton Road, Brixton. In this episode we discuss TechNet,  his collaboration with Jason Skeet that produced a series of essential written communiques from the frontline of 90's subculture. We then talk about his involvement in Dead by Dawn as well as his magazine Break/Flow that in 1998 released an acclaimed vinyl issue with tracks from underground electronic labels and associates such as Praxis, Crossfade Entertainment, Adverse, Ambush and Unearthly.Support the showhttps://www.youtube.com/@ControlledWeirdnesshttps://open.spotify.com/artist/20nC7cQni8ZrvRC2REZjOIhttps://www.instagram.com/controlledweirdness/https://controlledweirdness.bandcamp.com/Theme song is Controlled Weirdness - Drifting in the Streetshttps://open.spotify.com/track/7GJfmYy4RjMyLIg9nffuktHosted from a South London tower block by Neil Keating aka Controlled Weirdness.

The Pentagon has a cyber workforce problem: 30,000 cyber positions remain unfilled, but malicious cyber activity isn't slowing down. Defense cyber leaders warn future conflicts will combine kinetic and information warfare, elevating the importance of a robust cyber workforce. DOD Principal Director for Resources & Analysis Mark Gorak joins us live from AFCEA TechNet Cyber 2023 in Baltimore to discuss these challenges and his plans to address them.

Operating and hardening the Defense Department's networks is a highly complex undertaking. Training and retaining the workforce, keeping up with a constantly changing environment of technology and emerging capabilities and threats are continuous challenges not just for the Army, but also for all the services. Lt. Gen. Maria Barrett, commanding general of Army Cyber Command, discusses how Army Cyber forces are working globally to secure networks, responding to the needs of the warfighter and preparing for the future of cyber warfare.

Live from TechNet Cyber 2023 in Baltimore, Maryland, Defense Department Deputy CIO Lily Zeleke and Chief Software Officer Rob Vietmeyer discuss software factories, DevSecOps, zero trust and the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC). These IT modernization initiatives are transforming the department to be more tech-savvy as information dominance becomes critical to winning future conflicts.

Defense Department CIO John Sherman joins us live from TechNet Cyber 2023 in Baltimore, Maryland, to peel back the layers of the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) and the department's zero trust strategy to show how they're informed by JADC2 priorities and contribute to better data transport and interoperability with coalition partners. Sherman also discusses how cloud initiatives at the military services will complement JWCC efforts.

Earlier this year in California, two State Assembly members— Democrat Buffy Wicks and Republican Jordan Cunningham— introduced the California Age Appropriate Design Code Bill. The California Age Appropriate Design Code would place limitations on what companies can do with youth data, including tracking location and profiling. It puts limitations on manipulative design, and includes transparency measures so users are aware and consent to the use of their information. The bill makes the California attorney general responsible enforcement of the state's rules, opening up the possibility of litigation or fines against companies that do not follow the Code. It would also require the California Privacy Protection Agency to create a Children's Data Protection Task Force that would formulate recommendations on best practices. A coalition of civil society and tech policy groups supports the Code, including organizations such as Common Sense Media, Accountable Tech, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Sesame Workshop, the Consumer Federation of California, and the National Hispanic Media Coalition. Industry groups, such as TechNet and the California Chamber of Commerce, oppose the bill, and other experts have raised concerns in particular about requirements for age verification. The California State Assembly voted 72-0 to pass the bill, and it is now with the California Senate.  For this podcast, Tech Policy Press spoke to three people— all college students and activists— who support it, in part due to their own experiences: Aliza Kopans, a rising sophomore at Brown University, cofounder of Technic(ally) Politics and an intern at Accountable Tech; Emma Lembke, a rising sophomore at the Washington University in St. Louis, founder of the Log Off Movement, cofounder of Technic(ally) politics and an intern at Accountable Tech Khoa-Nathan Ngo, rising college sophomore and a youth collaborator at GoodforMedia.

AFCEA TechNet Cyber 2022 marks another return to in-person events, and Senior Researcher Kate Macri is here to discuss top takeaways and themes from the conference. Topics include ICAM solutions, zero trust, cyber operations and what it's like to be in-person again after two years of online panels.

What's this? Anna, Mav, and Andrew talking about a current comic book? Released this very past Wednesday?? It took Chris Claremont writing a tie-in to our darling, officially known as X-Men Legends #12: “Start Again: A Prelude to Excalibur” to drag us into the present. Except it's not really the present; it's still the past, specifically, the space between “Fall of the Mutants” and the arrival of the Technet at Muir Island in “The Sword is Drawn.” We do some griping but also wax nostalgic about expectations and Claremont and what it means to love fictional characters who always keep changing with an obligation to remain the same.  

Is Kurt a good leader or is he just an expert in dressing the part? Anna, Mav, and Andrew debate this and other important questions with comics & pop culture scholar Matt Linton, discussing Excalibur #45, “Nightcrawler's Technet”—a comic book in which most of the characters are dressed like Nightcrawler, but the story might actually be about Brian? But don't count out Rachel and Meggan, coming in strong with some complex and believable female bonding! We also spend entirely too much time (or just the right amount?) discussing Kurt's feelings about being the X-Men's “mascot.”    

Jessie and Rob talk about some interdimensional bounty hunters. Rob is on the podcast Stasis Pod which can be found here.  Jessie is also on Creepy Critters, Over Innsmouth, and Into the Rewatch podcasts. You can help by donating to Patreon.

Linda Moore, the new president and CEO TechNet joined Aileen Black on Leaders and Legends to talk about leadership and to discuss TechNet's role as the voice of innovation.

In this episode, Dazzler stan and all-around X-Men aficionado Dr. Nicholas Miller joins Anna, Mav, and Andrew to talk serious political allegories and equally serious gender play in Excalibur #15, "Technet: Impossible Missions!" We work through conflicted feelings about an affecting but messy story invoking imperialism & apartheid before fully embracing the rainbow of possibilities ignited by Brian's most important moment of character growth to date: a two-panel sequence in which he admits he enjoyed dancing with Kurt in very fabulous drag. Plus: Gatecrasher-as-protagonist and The Importance of Vampire Kitty.

In this podcast, we chat all about Microsoft Defender for Endpoint & Microsoft Defender Threat & Vulnerability Management with Matt Soseman, Microsoft Security Architect.

And now for something completely different... While the rest of the X-Family of books was undergoing a somewhat x-treme and hyper-posed makeover - across the pond, Excalibur was just plain weird.  With a rogues gallery that included the crazy Technet (including show-favorite Joyboy) and a bird-bomb Henery Hawk knockoff - and mysteries surrounding the interdimensional garbage can that is Widget's dome - this title can't help but to stand out as something special. For this segment, I am joined by my friend Jesse (@stiznarkey), and we have a really good time x-ploring the other side of the X-Books!  Jesse also shares his life and times as an X-Fan!  It's a great chat, we hope you'll give us a shot! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com https://www.facebook.com/sourcematerialpodcast/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

WEFFLES are delicious! WEFFLES stands for Windows Event Logging Forensic Logging Enhancement Services and is Microsoft's cool (and free!) console for responding to incidents and hunting threats. I had a chance to play with it in the lab this week and for the most part, the install of WEFFLES went well, but I had one minor issue that was cleared up easily.

Bill V. (@blueteamer on Twitter) and was the 1st of a series we like to call "2nd Chances: Rejected Talks". Bill had a talk that was rejected initially at DerbyCon (later accepted after someone else cancelled)  Here is the synopsis of his talk that you can now see at DerbyCon: Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) are hardened admin workstations implemented to protect privileged accounts. In this talk I will discuss my lessons learned while deploying PAWs in the real world as well as other techniques I've used to limit exposure to credential theft and lateral movement. I hope to show fellow blue teamers these types of controls are feasible to implement, even in small environments.  TechNet article referenced on the show: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/security/securing-privileged-access/privileged-access-workstations Direct Link: http://traffic.libsyn.com/brakeingsecurity/2016-033-PAWs-Bill_Voecks-Rejected_Talks.mp3 RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/2016-033-privileged-access/id799131292?i=1000374432509&mt=2 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DwR9RcEBo0   #SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/bryan-brake Comments, Questions, Feedback: bds.podcast@gmail.com Support Brakeing Down Security #Podcast on #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bds_podcast #Twitter: @brakesec @boettcherpwned @bryanbrake #Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrakeingDownSec/ #Tumblr: http://brakeingdownsecurity.tumblr.com/ #Player.FM : https://player.fm/series/brakeing-down-security-podcast #Stitcher Network: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=80546&refid=stpr #TuneIn Radio App: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582

How do you provide granular administrative privileges to junior administrators? Richard talks to Mark Minasi about the idea of Just Enough Administration (JEA). And it's not just for junior administration - the conversation dives into this idea that administrators should be domain users most of the time, and only elevate their privileges for specific tasks. JEA helps you organize privilege sets for those tasks so that you have no more capability than necessary. Administrator accounts are the hot new exploit vector, it's time to lock them down! Check out Just Enough Administration on TechNet.

So many people say the PC is dying that some people are actually beginning to believe this nonsense. The people who create malware are getting smarter and some of the fraudulent messages they use have realistic appearances. You can still outsmart the crooks. Were the Ballmer years good or bad for Microsoft? The answer is YES. In Short Circuits: The New York Times website was knocked off-line again this week. This time it was an attack, not a bad update, and it's going to get worse. And Microsoft has released Windows 8.1 to manufacturing, while simultanseously snubbing Technet and MSDN subscribers.

Want to know where your state ranks in the big broadband picture? The key author of the TechNet State-by-State Broadband Index, a report that ranks states in broadband adoption, network quality, and broadband-driven economic outcomes, breaks it down for you. John Horrigan, currently VP of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, completed this report after recently leaving TechNet. Last week he participated in a special rountable of national experts discussing research on broadband and economic development. Listeners pick up valuable insights to how leading states are using broadband to increase small business creation, job growth and tax revenues, as well as influencing social changes among constituents. Horrigan's observations help communities with their broadband planning for next year.

Why do scammers say they're from Nigeria? Wouldn't it be better to claim you're from New Jersey? How to speed up a slow computer (part 2). In Short Circuits: New software can idenfity the source of viruses and rumors. The release version of Windows 8 is now available for TechNet members. Flash says adios to Android. If you could crack Google's Chrome browser, you could take home as much as $60,000, and a mystery computer virus has Kaspersky asking for help.

Richard chats with Rhonda Layfield about the now shipping version of Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012. Rhonda describes the relationship between MDT 2012 and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - what MDT does and what SCCM does. The conversation continues over to how Group Policy packs are deployed by default in MDT 2012, which might surprise some IT folks.

You can get MDT and SCM at the Solution Accelerators page on TechNet. Also, check out the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager library page on TechNet for a list of the security baseline settings for various operating systems, Internet Explorer, Exchange and Office.

In this episode I reveal I passed all four SharePoint 2010 exams. I also discuss how 'someone' broke my blog, and how I fixed it. Then I talk about how the mobile view that I so carefully disabled got reenabled on my blog. I also discuss a weird upgrade issue I encountered where I couldn't get out of SharePoint 2007 mode. Finally I talk about how you can export TechNet articles to PDF for easy offline reading.

Richard flies solo to talk to Peter Schmidt about federation in Exchange 2010. While federation has been around for awhile in Exchange, the 2010 version gets away from connection Active Directory together and into a web services model that allows simple, limited visibility for other Exchange 2010 users into your calendar and contacts. If you've ever wanted to give a third party the ability to see when you're available without emailing you, you need federation! Check out Exchange 2010 Federation at TechNet.
