Use nmap and scan yourself, that will tell you all you need to know. Alternatively you could use a command such as netstat -ltu or lsof -i TCP/UDP. The information is all there, readily available.
I know people seem to find it all trendy to bash Novell these days, but AppArmour is a a pretty damn good tool for containing the behaviour of applications. Use a handy little utility to monitor your application (apache, bind, postfix, anything else..) being used in a controlled environment, then apply that ruleset at kernel level and if access isn't defined in the AppArmour profile, it ain't happening.
When I first started looking at Linux, Win98 was the hot potato. I tried Corel Linux, and couldn't get X to work, so gave up on it. Now had that been the only distro around, what choice would I have had but to put it down to experience and go back to DOS, I mean Windows...
Fortunately that wasn't the case. I tried RedHat (5.2 or 6, I don't remember) and that worked reasonably, but I didn't really like the feel of it too much. Then I tried SuSE and liked it! I say more choice is good, and it kept my interest when the first candidate fell at the first hurdle.
That's because you have a lame desktop policy management system. Group policy is, well, a bit shite really. ZENworks can do everything group policy can do, and god knows how many things it can't.
Certainly works for my bowels. I take a lot of codeine-based medication following a serious motorcycle-related back injury sustained a few years ago, and said medication is notorious for causing constipation. I smoke a nice strong cigarette when I get up in the morning, and I'm busting for a dump in less than 5 minutes, guaranteed.
Surely this was only a matter of time? If anti-spam companies can read those graphics telling you about hot stock tips, that technology was eventually going to find its way into the hands of said spammers, right?
Fortunately the majority of British voters see Cameron for what he is; someone who'll do and say anything to get back into power. It will be a sad election that sees his greasy mug in Downing St.
That said, Brown doesn't exactly make me jump for joy either. Guess I'll carry on doing what I've done for the last 10 years, vote for apathy and stay at home.
We waited around 18 months before rolling out XP. We generally went direct from NT4 bypassing 2000 completely, bar a hundred or so machines which were pilots. I also see absolutely no killer reason to move to Vista - from a business perspective there's nothing I've found which sets it apart from XP.
Who knows, give it a few years until the masses start to feel the pressure to upgrade and maybe Linux will have got its foot in the door. It's already happening to an extent here in the UK. We use a lot of Linux desktops already (who cares that they have Evolution instead of Lookout, they've got XGL!!), and when I called into the local parcel depot to collect something the other day I noticed they had SuSE on their systems. When I casually mentioned it, the apparently dim employee said "yeah man, none of that Microsoft crap in our company". That's a huge national parcel and logistics company. Many are cynical, myself included to some extent, about the ability of Linux to find its way onto the desktop, but it's happening, slowly, surely, but it is happening.
Embedded Linux is growing like chuff, and has been for some time. Around 3/4 of Linux jobs on my preferred job site are now for embedded, and for damn good money aswell!
Surely that's the [regularly stated on/.] point, let people hack around with source and they'll do amazing things. Keep it all locked up in a nice blue box and what do you get? A bunch of crap smartphones which aren't clever. Meh.
Techie: is OOXML an open format?
MS: Yes
Techie: Can you give me the specs?
MS: No
Ho Hum. I work with a guy who hates FOSS. Is it because he loves Windows? No. It's simply because he loves spending money, and hates not being able to do a deal on something... because it's free!

The commercialising of such a rudimentary provision can only be described as an absolute fucking disgrace. In the UK we have free healthcare, the NHS. Whilst it certainly isn't perfect it is without doubt one of the finest things our country has ever constructed. Got some money to burn? Fine, there's plenty of private healthcare also. I have no problem with letting the wealthy spend their money if they want a few extra bells and whistles, but compromising care based on bank balance in a country whose TV stations describe it as "the greatest nation on earth" is frankly appalling.
I know everyone finds it fashionable to bash Novell these days, but have you ever used Groupwise? It's a very, VERY capable alternative to Exchange. Does just the same job as far as contacts, calendaring etc, had the basics (pointers anyone?) pinned down almost 10 years before MS got their act together, is better directory enabled than Exchange, has a NATIVE LINUX CLIENT (amongst many), webmail interface that doesn't suck balls if you don't use IE, excellent mobile support (and not just for smartphones either... anything that can run basic java!).
Sure, the boardroom sheep will lap up the redmond propaganda, but Groupwise is a more than capable alternative!
Don't believe me? Go download it and give it a test drive...
Last time I knocked up a few lines of code, it went like this:
[shuntros@thepub]# vi windowsvista.c
[shuntros@thepub]# gcc -o vista windowsvista.c
[shuntros@thepub]#./vista
Segmentation Fault
[shuntros@thepub]# mail -s "Vista Beta 2 Ready!" bill@microsoft.com vista
It's sloppy, buggy and prone to the odd bit of spyware, but pays the bills.
I was at a Novell technology preview yesterday and heard something interesting. Don't shoot the messenger btw...
Part of the much-criticised MS/NOVL agreement was interoperability. Part of this interoperability will mean that both OpenOffice and MSoffice will at some point in the future not only both support ODF, but will save their docs as ODF by DEFAULT.
I have to say it sounded unlikely to me, but it was announced at a public event, so who knows? Either way, don't shoot the messenger.
This rocks; http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpscheduleit
I use it at our University helpdesk for loaning out cameras, external HDD's etc, and I also use it as a booking system for a small aircraft owned by our 6-man group. A great example of someone spending hundreds of hours of their own time writing software with huge real-world value, and for absolutely no reward.

You Americans speak English right? The correct shortening of Mathematics is MATHS. With an S. Math is not a word.
Do you love the cock?
That's Borat on bread and water then

Excellent news. Now all we need is version 2.0 which is capable of removing slimey pockets of underperforming IT management.

I'm with o2 (although not for much longer). They suck to high heaven.
Could have been tempted, but not on that network.

How exactly is entering a valid username/password (albeit that weren't theirs) breaking the unbreakable? It's not, is it. So you're not funny. STFU.
