  6. Re:You signed away this "right" by picking Apple. on Flash Is Not a Right · · Score: 1

    Adobe is also under the impression that Flash is a proprietary platform.

    That's what happens when you choose two closed platforms. Never mind that they both see themselves as benevolent dictators.

    Apple controls the "java" on their machines too.

    no, samba4 will be awesome if it ever gets done.

    thing is, it will never match AD. just look at the list of samba4 functionality to see how ambitious AD is (and samba4 hopes to be). by 2012 we may have something MS built 12 years ago.

    and then...will it interface seamlessly with an endpoint security suite like forefront? or will there be a version of clam for it? can it integrate with WSUS? i hope so. still a ways off.

    It was my understanding that mac:wm was mased on MAC addresses and not rout-able. maybe i'm out of date on that?

    I ran WM inside a LAN, and it seemed like a gui-fied LDAP. which was nice, but you can auth macs against openLDAP and put a web front end on the server. which would be much cheaper than the mac server.

    you are a pussy, AC.

    AD is ldap + bind + all the ldap client software + stuff linux doesn't have like gpos + ability to integrate with wsus, exchange, forefront, etc.

    AD is BASED ON ldap, sure enough. it's way more than that.

    My last 2 upgrades of ubuntu were pretty crappy.

    You can do disk imaging in any OS pretty much.

    My man,

    the beauty of windows isn't windows.

    it's active directory and all the other systems that ms puts together for fleet management.

    i'll slap the shit out of the next person who says openldap. it is pretty easy to do stuff like point an entire OU to a WSUS server and specify how updates are done.

    they've built an impressive system for enterprise setups that would take a shitload of work in linux. pushing down group policies to a fleet of macs?

    Federal government is more interested in granting amnesty to law-breakers

    Correction:

    The democrats party is interested because they are eying their bread-and-butter voter base in 20 years: government dependents.

    SOME republicans are interested because constituent SMB owners enjoy cheap labor.

    Interestingly this is at odds with the environmentalists, law-and-order types, labor unions, and racists.
