A while back we were using a bastardized version of polish variable naming, I had Boolean All OK...bAlloks, I was most upset when I managed to remove the need for it:-(
I also got a bug fix rejected from QA due to swearing in the comments....
If you can get the account info out of the domain/ad via LDAP etc, your halfway there.
Given that IMAP can be enabled for Exchange 5.5/2k, you should then be able to automate the moving of data from Exchange into your new IMAP server (throughly recommend Cyrus), atleast for mail anyways, contacts & calendar info is next to useless outside exchange (but retrievable via IMAP).
Blink.com do the handiest web tool I have ever seen, I couldn't survive without it now! Get at your favs/bookmarks from anywhere, on anything, import your current bookmarks from Netscape & IE. Admitadly, IE integration is better than netscape (you can drag and drop links in IE, but you have to choose a menu option in NS) Just plain top!
Why should we restrict our email to plain text ? HTML and RTF allow us to format email far more effectively than plain text ever will. Shouldn't we just make them more secure?
I used it for a while when I was travelling alot (to grab my home POP3 mail, work has MS Exchange with Web Access, which is the dogs danglies..), now my ISP has a decent webmail interface and I only use HoTMail for testing accounts etc, and for MSN Messanger.
Seen as this survey has highlighted code re-use in the Open Source community, (Gordon Who ?), do you reckon that OSS proves a good model for that Holy Grail, effecient code re-use (libtool et al). Is there anybody doing studies on code-reuse on OS sw or closed source sw ? McC
A good example is the tulip driver that comes with Red Hat. It didn't work! Only after I found out(after several frustrating unsucessful tries) that I had to download the C code and compile the driver did I get my ethernet card to work. Now you tell me, when was the last time you had to compile a driver for NT?
Somebody is bound to say this, and I know it's missing the point, but atleast you had the option to rebuild the drivers! I know you shouldn't have had to, but hey, you got it working in the end!
Surely all they are doing is witholding info on the bugs, not the actual source code, preventing people from taking advantage of the weakness until it's fixed. The code is there, go find the bugs & weaknesses yourself!
I know that in this age of the global community that geographical locations means less & less (as long as you can get internet access!) but what's the geographical breakdown of/. readers like ? How many readers here are actually from Northern Irealnd (or originally from)? I am...

OK then, come up with an alternative to Rational ClearCase, yeah it's big, complex & expensive but not much else beats it for multi-site SCM work.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but "poor student" and "buying an iPAQ" just don't seem to fit!
FWIW, I've just bough a Visor, and it's sweet!
The Exchange data stores are based around modified versions of the Access/Jet DB code.

Security by obscurity is not security.
