We've had Samba in Brazil for centuries...

Amazing how the USA thinks they are ahead of everyone else... ;)

I want to talk about Prevayler -- which is due to replace Samba in 2005. Anyway, noone uses Samba.

as we've seen so many times this week,

opensource != secure

by any stretch of the imagination, in fact there are probably numerous untold exploits available for this software. Its just a matter of time, as with any opensource product.

Yeah, so let's use the alternative.

Windows servers.

Those are more secure I heard. :-P

Finally! I was talking with a friend about this just the other day -- the only big thing that Samba is lacking is a working Bullet Drop Compensator!

It really helps when aiming files across long distances :)

It means samba can function as your Bondage and Discipline Cop.
What happens is that if you fail to listen to your Primary Domain Controller, the Bondage and Discipline Cop steps in to beat and humiliate you until you submit creditentials to the proper authorities. Usually, this happens when you're standing in front of many people and attempting to get at Powerpoint slides you left on your client machine.

First it was VI vs. Emacs
Then, Gnome Vs. KDE
Now its MySQL Vs. Postgres
At least we are evolving from text editors and eye-candy to relational databases.

Someone please explain why my post was moderated as redundant. I looked at all previous posts and did not see a single overlord comment. If the joke isn't funny then it should be rated offtopic, or overated, but not redundant. Unless, maybe the moderators were saying that the joke was getting redundant. I think moderators should provide an explanation for their decisions. That way posters would learn what makes a good post good and a bad post bad.

Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
