I'm so sick and tired of hearing about Gentoo. There are other distributions.

So, how will/did you file your taxes?

A better question on the subject of taxes can be found here.

But, what about noise? It would seem that silent operation would be an important part of these spy planes' operation. However, the last model airplane I saw could be clearly heard for over a mile. If these things are aslo as noisy, they will simply become targets for the local skeet club.

It seems that Vi is better than Emacs.

I don't suppose that you've ever heard of Steve Jobs then?

What's your favorite distro? Tell em here.

Unlike so many of the "wearable fashions" of the past, these at least look like clothing that normal people might wear. Nice models too.

What's your favorite.

with the "witty" names again. Anyway, can someone explain to me how eliminating classes is better? I thought that implementing classes, the OOP approach, was the better way to go.

They don't really explain why their way is better. They just state it as though it was a matter of fact.

He's calling for hearings. That means that the government is looking out for you. Right?

Or is the government just making gestures so that you will feel better while, they don't really do anything at all? Sorta like airport security.

I don't think I am the only one spending evenings and weekends playing around with yet another IDS.

Unfortunately, I suspect that we are among the few that do. Especially when you look at this and this.

I would say that you are definitely on the right track and that your network is probably more secure than most. Certainly more so than those that will respond to you here. The fact is that if you are in doubt, you should have an audit performed by a security expert. This person will review you policies, procedures and configurations and make appropriate recommendations. Additionally they will perform penetration testing both from inside and out and make subsequet recommendations.

As I said above, I think you are on the right track and would guess that you have taken all of the necessary steps, and are hearing the complaints from your user community. But, the only thing that I would add is that you should never become complacent. Test your security regularly and use multiple tools to do it, and always the latest versions. Don't rely soley on a Nessus or nmap scan to validate your security. Also, when testing, remember that it isn't just a matter of whether you get in or not, you should also make sure that the attempt is properly caught in the logs, regardless of the attempts success or failure.

All for only $200. You can't get a PC with the same specs for near that price.

Two quotes from Austin Powers immediately come to mind.

Of course; "Fire the giant freakin laser!"

But as to the likelyhood... "Riiight..."

XML took a massive blow when its co-creator went public and said that it wasn't good and that it was too complicated for developers, generating headlines throughout the tech community.

Now he returns trying to "clarify" his stance on the matter. But, the fact is that all the clarifications are not going to garner nearly as much interest as the initial statement saying basically, that XML sucks. The damage has been done.

Regardless of whether XML is good or bad, it now faces a long uphill battle. Having one of the creators of XML deride it was/is a devastating blow to XML and his initial statement will be brought out against XML everytime there is even the slightest resistance to using it in a project. From now on, every time someone mentions XML, someone else is going to say; "It sucks! Even its own creator said so. There's no way we should use it."

I would say that the SuSE OpenExchange server is a pretty good solution, overall. It is still not perfect but, it does work and it is fairly well integrated. BUt, I do have an issue with it. The price of OpenExchage server is too high. Indeed, for a shop of the size you describe, it costs almost as much as MS Exchange 2000.

SuSE OpenExchange is a combination of open source applications that have been nicely integrated with each other, by SuSe. It is built using Postfix for the MTA, Cyrus for IMAP, OpenLDAP for the directory, Apache for the web interface, and a few others.

However, there are other simialr solutions available, that you should look at too. SCO makes Volution Messaging, recently renamed to Office Mail Server. Also, there is the Kolab (I refuse to call it Kroupware) project. All three solutions use the Postfix, Cyrus, OpenLDAP, Apache, etc components stitched together to create a unified groupware system.

One major distinction between the three solutions is price. While OpenExchange and Office Mail Server are NOT cheap, Kolab is FREE.

But, this is simply a marketing decision. Most of the "lesser" applications, the ones without certification, usually aren't hot sellers at the depot.
