paper for Nov 4 meeting: Amazon's Dynamo

[Constantin Berzan]

Hello everyone,

Not many people voted, but it looks like "Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly
Available Key-value Store" is the winner.

Link: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1294281

We will meet on November 4 to discuss this paper.

In the meantime, don't miss the Capture-the-Flag competition tomorrow
(Friday) from 12 to 3 in Halligan 106, organized by Tufts ACM. From
their email:

"""
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. To celebrate and
culminate the month, the Tufts ACM will be hosting a Capture the Flag
game. The goal of the game is to find and exploit vulnerabilities on
servers set up in the room. Perhaps you can even pw3n one of the
boxes! There will also be forensics and crypto puzzles. Bring your
own laptop! Lunch will not be served.
"""

If anyone's having trouble accessing this paper, you don't need to log in if you're in the Tufts network. Options:
a.) Go to Halligan
b.) Be lazy and look up how to set up a SOCKS proxy using your ssh connection to linux.cs.tufts.edu. Here's an article about how to do that from back in the days when lifehacker used to be good: http://lifehacker.com/237227/geek-to-live--encrypt-your-web-browsing-session-with-an-ssh-socks-proxy.
