What the fuck? Tell us what college you went to that A. Uses Windows, B. Allows an unprivileged user the ability to send broadcast messages to the whole domain. When people say epic fail, this is what they're talking about.
Hate to get off topic here but, I have to disagree with you on quotas. Quotas are a good thing(tm). "Time Burden" being key here; anything the user can do, should be done by the user. Unless you have a bazillion admins (never seen that before) then the user needs to accept some responsibility for what I consider to be trivially easy.
I really don't care who you are, from peon to CEO, part of your job is proper e-mail archival. Keep things nice and tidy with filters. Set automated pruning according to your requirements. Every so often, delete some stuff by hand, or burn it to a CD.
It's just like any other type of filing. If you were an accountant would you leave a huge pile of bills and invoices on your desk until it was so big you couldn't get to your desk?
IDK so much about ksh (i use bash) but what you're describing is not how I know libreadline to work by default. The history buffer is kept in memory and HISTFILE is not written to until the exit of the main loop in readline applications, which should be when you exit bash. So doing export HISTFILE=/home/whoever/.blah will not be written to until you ctrl-d out of the shell. You can easily prove to yourself by typing echo $HISTFILE then on the next line type tail -1 $HISTFILE. Your last command is not there. Now hit ctrl-D and You will log out. Log back in and your history from that old dead shell is now in the HISTFILE.
There is, and I guess it would be correct to say LPI because it's a multiple choice test that any dolt can usually pass. The RHCE on the other hand is completely hands on and you have to have a little bit of a working Linux knowledge to pass it.
I took a couple online courses and qualified for the student version, because I had a verifiable student ID that showed I was still a student. It was 50 bucks I think and well worth it, it has vi emulation, and a pretty awesome debugger. The guy(s) who made it made a protocol for communicating with *any* debugger outside of KDE, so theoretically you can write an add-on for komodo that does C, and integrates its awesome debugging capabilities. I was going to do it because at the time I was also doing a lot of C but I just had no spare time to hack at it. It IS a bit of a resource hog but what IDE of that magnitude isn't? I've used them all and find Eclipse too complex and slow and Netbeans I felt about the same. Visual * is actually not too bad if you're in Windows-land, but most of the time I am writing dynamic/interpreted stuff on Linux.
Exhibit A: Your brain on drugs. It's sizzling, has a yellow center, and is mighty tasty with hot sauce.
1. wrong. sativas are tall stringy plants that grow in areas like jamaica and mexico you fucktard. they have longer flowering periods, they make for lousy commercial operations indoors and are generally only grown inside for connoisseurs in small amounts for personal use. the reason bricsk are usually sativa is because they come from DING DING DING outside in subtropic to tropic areas, unless you're talking about mountain type stuff from the middle east which would thenm be short plants with shorter flowering periods and higher yields called 'indica'.
2. It's "indo" because it's growing INDOORS and not to be racist or anything pretend you're black and for a second and say indoor. You will notice tyou just said indo. Refer to Exhibit B: The Chronic by doctor dre (not a real doctor btw)
Beyond gardening I enjoy Italian cuisine, the C Programming Language and raging funk music.
I feel ya on the garbage man/janitor aspect of IT, EVERYONE seems to think IT exists just to clean their big stinking piles of maneur, even after they spread that shit everywhere. I hate it... but I'm beginning to think I've just worked in shitty places. (Which is why I am about to move to a different company).
lol, man it doesn't matter if I am five years old as long as I maintain a good standard SA practice. 15 years doesn't mean shit if you still admin RH servers and don't know about.rpmsave files. And if you don't enable auto updates, why are you even arguing this point?!?! You actually agree with me and fail to admit it...
BESIDES you should be rpm'ing to the path of your cvs/svn tree for dns servers, THEN pushing out to a test server, THEN testing the test server, THEN pushing globally. Failure? O yea that's what cvs/svn rollbacks are for...
Do you admin one single Linux box? Not only is this bad administrative practice (applying patches without testing on AT LEAST a VM) BUT as anyone who uses rpm at all knows, your configs are *usually* moved to.rpmsave. FUCKING COME ON, I almost suspect this is like an Ubuntu mole or something on/.... I can't even believe an admin this shitty made front page with his bullshit complaint.
It's called runas.exe, and billy and co even added it as an option when you right click on an executable file/shortcut. Been around for a while by now.
I find it somewhat disturbing that a lot of people here do not know this.. this is like the third response in this thread where I have mentioned runas, and I am not a fan of Microsoft or Microsoft software. I am a Linux user and have been for going on 10 years, but basic OS usage stuff like this carries over to whatever you're doing.
with Vista? RunAs has been around IIRC since NT4. Maybe 2k, I really don't recall but it works fine. I haven't used Vista, but my only remaining windows machine runs as a regular user, i use runas to do random stuff i need to. Very rarely do I even need to log in as Administrator.
You do know that you don't have to run Windows with Administrator privileges, and that there is a neat little program called "runas" that lets you run whatever as another user??
I like VirtualBox. The good thing about virtualbox is it comes with a nice suite of CLI utilities. I may have just missed the ones for vmware though...
I enjoy myself now too, but I know working 50 hour weeks and continuing my education through online classes while banking a lot of dough is going to result in a nice future.
Dude, that's enough to pay the rent in a slum in Chicago. You are either lying or leaving out a very important detail like "O yea I lived in a dorm for free"
HAHA I'm sorry but you've never done user administration if you think it's ok to allow users to install "non-default apps". People who have never been on the desktop admin side of things always say shit like that, and it really grinds my gears. Users can make a real mess of their systems if you let them, then they expect you (desktop team) to clean up. No, just no, I am not a fucking janitor.
Then when you allow programmers to install whatever else, all of a sudden they will tell someone in accounting, who will then come to you and say so and so can install whatever he wants, why can't i? That's why it's often easier to just disallow non IT-approved applications across the board.
And as far the edumucation thing goes, you'd really think that would work, but it wouldn't. No one would listen, they would continue to break the same rules. Users *do not want* education. They want to do what they want to do, regardless of consequences, and nothing is going to stop them besides strict environments and swift punishment.
Yea, but at least I'll be the idiot who retires at 50 with at least a few million in the bank, sipping exotic drinks on the beach. (Cue "few million won't even buy a tank of gas in 25 years" jokes).
But it's still where evangelicals prevail. I guess I should have been a lot more specific in my first post before everyone went buck. I think the majority here on slashdot agrees in spirit with what I was trying to say, but because I wasn't specific enough it pissed people off.
The midwest and the south, where evangelical christians exist in higher numbers than other parts of the country, are where you're going to see shit like this. Their level of batshit craziness is pretty high up there... not like scientology batshit, but still batshit.
Yea I meant "southern evangelical" so whoever marked me flamebait, come on now, it's kinda obvious that's what I meant. I am not a practicing Catholic or practicing anything so it's not like I was somehow passively trying to assert my religion's superiority. I was just stating that I don't really hear about shit like this up here, and as an observer, it seems like anti-evolution is confined to places where southern evangelical types prevail.

I went to a catholic grade school that taught evolution. I think most of this religious anti-evolution shit is confined to the south.
I mean, Minus the trackball hiding part. I guess that's what makes this new?
My bank has been doing this for about a half a year now. It's just a slight spin off from CAPTCHA or whatever the hell the acronym is.
