Novell Layoffs Coming This Month?
Roblimo writes "Multiple sources close to and inside Novell have told us the company expects to lay off between 10% and 15% of all employees by the end of October. '...shareholders have suggested that Novell divest itself of its consulting group and GroupWise division, while at the same time instituting personnel cuts across the board to bring expenses more in line with revenues,' writes business columnist Lauren Rudd at NewsForge, who also notes that '[Novell's] NetWare revenue stream continues to deteriorate, declining by $36 million in fiscal 2004, excluding the impact of favorable foreign exchange rates.'" NewsForge is part of the same family of companies as Slashdot.
Difference is that AD sucks, whereas Netware/eDirectory does not. I'm pretty sure that if I ever get an ulcer, it's because of the stress AD gives me... Wanna do something relatively simple (like, create a group with certain members, and give that group access to certain folders)? Here, go through these zillion dialog-boxes, and click around dozens of times! Oh, if you need to change group-permissions afterwards, please note how those forementioned dialog-boxes freeze and die, making this relatively simple procedure an experiment in agony!
Burn in hell, AD! Burn in hell! Oh Netware, how I loved thee....

No. I think Capitalism is a failed experiment that doesn't treat all people the same way. The american dream is dead.
Socialism makes far more sense, and most of the Western world agrees with me. Big shock. And at very nearly the same level of taxation as most socialist countries I just have to wonder what the government is doing with our money that we have so few services to show for it all.
You and I both know they use our tax money to support their illegal war instead of helping out the poor and homeless in this country.
Why are we trying to "gift" democracy to people half a world away instead of providing basic dignity and a solid education to the poor of our own country? I suppose they should just have to work for it all themselves, eh genius? I guess no one ever gave you a hand up or a real opportunity out of poverty?
Classic american rightwing bullshit to not recognize how we are a nation built from the middle class out. You now earn your keep based on the struggles of former union workers and an epic battle for civil rights for all people regardless of race or gender. I guess those roads you drive on are just commie propaganda, right?
