Where can I go to get a certificate in the other kind of networking?
Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Ecole Polytechnique... or try your local Lodge [wink wink].
Or your local Linux Users Group. Aside from my own varied efforts on my own and from passing myself off many times as something I wasn't at the time, since I can lie when I have to and learn as I go, I've landed good work as field service tech, medical transcriptionist, and medical transcription team leader. I only recently completed my AA in Linux/UNIX OS admin and I'm 46. I pulled most of it off with a high school education, some college courses, some certs, and just being consistent in my work habits and the product I delivered. Figure that last part out and you'll go far.
Let's just say that the latest I have installed is the factory supplied ATI linux driver. I've tried the other open source variations, too. Yes, both of them exhibit this problem. Yes, I've tossed reports of the problem to the dev team via their feedback webform. Whether that feedback gets read or acted on is unknown.
What about the person who spends all day every day locked up in his living room, being useful to society for the first 10 hours of his day, and then spends the rest of his life either playing WoW or immersed in web pages learning new shit alla time, huh??
What then, eh, mister I-know-all-the-geekly-ways-so-well, eh? Look in a mirror any time lately, eh?
In ways that can't even go into fully here, for lack of space and time, WoW on wine is playable, but not as great as it could be. The biggest thing that's got me down is that on the ATI fglrx open source driver running on Ubuntu Hardy, the minimap is white. Another thing affected with the white-fog-like overlay happens when playing the daily in Blade's Edge getting the power boxes for the portal, can't remember details.
Anyway, if you want to get a whole segment of players happy, code a true Linux port. Hire some programmers, show them what you have for underlying code and see what they can do with it on Linux. Just because it's on Linux, doesn't mean you can't sell it -- all you have to do is include the source for any open packages that you include with your binary distribution.
Did ya ever think that maybe the best thing for a kid in a bad situation is to be held back, so that they might be able to learn exactly what they need to learn? Maybe what they need, as you say, is something to help them out. To me, holding a kid back a grade may be that thing. It may be a chance for the kid to mature another year. It may be enough time to let life situations settle down.
But handing them a free 50% grade isn't going to help, not by a long shot. It's only going to promote the idea that everything in life is free. To me, that's promoting laziness. Everything I've ever had, I've had to work hard for. Let's not set a bad example by suddenly handing kids everything they have.
Yep, the Idiocracy is well on its way to becoming a reality. Let's not grade on a child's actual performance in school, let's make certain they can at least "catch up." Yep, way to go. This mollycoddle society just irks the living shit outta me.
I'm the exact opposite. I work for a medical transcription company, managing a team of voice recognition editors/transcriptionists. I work at home, complete telecommute, and I get lots done. I put in a good day's work, I look for and call out problems, and keep tabs on the store basically.
I have the option of working out on the deck in my yard in summers. If I need to travel for vacation or whatever, I just take my laptop and other gear with me and still catch lines while I'm gone, if I'm really good and bored. Try it, you might like it. To me, work is Slack. Or kill me.
I disagree. If you yell username and password pairs along with hosts that they work with across a room, that conversation is what we call unprotected. Like there is freedom of speech, there is also freedom to listen. If you're going to broadcast your conversation, without first taking steps to protect that conversation, that conversation is open game to all and sundry. Same with broadcast tv. Brits might disagree with their odd television licensing, but here in the States, we don't need a license to receive television and radio signals.
But what about satellite television and radio, they broadcast from outer space. Why can't I listen in? Because they've taken steps to encrypt their conversation. Hacking that conversation is a no-no, just like sitting in a postal service truck, ripping open letters can get you in a world of hurt.
Same principle on ethernet. There's a conversation happening, with several listeners on the wire in a hubbed, layer 1 network. Each listener can "hear" what's on the wire. If you feel that shouting your protected information across the room without some form of encryption is a great idea, hey, go for it. Basic security 101 - Fail.
Many low-cost switches are simple layer 2 switching bridges, devices that pass packets from one interface to another, electrically segmenting a network into collision domains. If the network had stayed wired with nothing but switches, there wouldn't have been an issue. Let me guess, someone thought some hubs would be a good idea. Congratulations, epic fail.
... are seated in a noisy restaurant, yelling back and forth to each other from one side of the table to the other. I'm sitting 3 tables away and can hear them.
I won't use it. I just bought a laptop on Ebay, brand new, out of box, that came with the Home edition, great bargain at $421. First thing I did with it was actually start it up and say "No" on the AUP acceptance page. I immediately powered it off, put in my trust Ubuntu Hardy 64-bit install cd, wiped the disk, and installed a real operating system that will stay the fuck out of my way.
Sorry, Microsoft, but I'd call this Epic Fail. Trusted computing causes me to lose control of *my* computer. Problem is, Microsoft don't understand the definition of computer ownership.
Here, I can attest that this routine was what worked while I was with the Marines; there's no reason you couldn't do most of it indoors. Find a doorway in your home where you can hang a pull-up bar. Do the pushups and crunches at the recommended intervals and train up. You might even work in reverse crunches while laying facedown halfway off the bed with your feet secured by a friend.
The only thing you might have to do in public is running. For me, there's no better exercise than running.
Agreed. I tried a search that I've been abusing like crazy this weekend, trying to get World of Warcraft running well on an Inspiron 1501 with the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 video chipset. Google returned tons of hits. Cuil returned zilch.
More pages indexed than Google? That's one hella claim to make. Too bad, though. "Bob" would be proud of that bullshit claim.
The license the work was released under, the GNU Public License, requires that further distribution of the work must include the source code with any device that uses the code in object form or include instructions on how to obtain the source code. Copyright laws grant the author the right to license his/her work for use in any way he/she sees fit, including under the terms of the GPL. The GPL instructs that if the distributor does not follow the rules for distribution as set forth in the GPL, the distributor's license to use and distribute the work has been violated, that license terminated, and any further distribution considered copyright violation.
I'm certain there are many cases (see MPAA/RIAA) where distribution without license has been held to be in violation of the Copyright Act. OP should stop being obtuse.
From the Busy Box website: "The email address [gpl (at) busybox DAWT net] is the recommended way to contact the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations." Given the recent history of vigorous enforcement of Copyleft over Busy Box, I'm dead certain that it will receive appropriate attention.
However, for future clarity, I might ask you to review the rules for use of their (possessive implicit pronoun, i.e., "It is their software,") there (indicating location, "The authors put it there,") and they're (conjunction of "they are," "They're going to enforce Copyleft over the work.") Yes, I am the Grammar Police and get paid very well as a result.
I've seen Postini-filtered mailboxes. Don't bother.
Only solution that I know works is my own: Postfix with amavisd-new, spamassassin, clamav, postgrey, along with FuzzyOCR on smaller installs, though setting that up on a separate system to filter through might cover a large organization. Don't forget to include things like Spamhaus' Zen list, any of the *.countries.dk.net blocklists to filter out any geographical areas from which you don't expect legitimate mail, and also helo filtering--if the connecting mail server can't say helo/ehlo with something that resolves in DNS, it can just bugger right off.
Tell your boss that expecting not to lose email with spam filters in place is unreasonable, and that tasking one human to eyeball all the rejects is a serious misapplication of time and money.
Best of all, you should educate your boss to realize that email is not a reliable messaging system. There are far too many points of failure that could cause a message to be lost, most of them being outside of your own or your company's control. There exist many better ways to send time-sensitive material, like fax, overnight mail, and telephone calls. If a severe amount of money is to be lost because an email didn't make it on time or made it not at all, then the message should have been sent over a more reliable medium in addition to being emailed.
Only the severely clueless would rely on a system like the one you have set up. You have to allow for a certain failure rate in any system. That's a basic principle of quality control methods that have been in use for decades.
You mean you actually thought at first that the LVM was supposed to replace a RAID mirrored and striped array? Son, that's where you made your mistake. Create the raid, put the LVM on top of the raid.
Yeah, I have to agree. That's like "peace in the Mideast" or "the Dark Side is defeated" type of radical change of thought, right there. Cut 'em some slack. Embracing them with open arms would be the best policy.
I still giggle at times, when, for reasons unexplained, I suddenly find myself thinking of the Camp Chaos parody flash cartoons that made fun of Metallica back in the Napster take-down days.
Seems these buggers haven't learned a thing about the controversy that's been made over unauthorized wiretapping. But hey, what's one more violation of our Constitutional rights? *spit*
I'd swear I'm listening to the Subgenius Hour of Slack, reading this post. Stang likes to toss sound collages with similar content into his show all the time. Get creative with that, and see if he'll publish it for you.

...this explains why my spam numbers are down by half this week.
Last week, average was about 350 daily rejects. This week, 150.
Nice.

Am I hacking??
The one thing that I've never seen Linux do that Windows does extremely well is propagate viruses.
Again, why Windows? Why the worst of the worst of the worst???
Antivirus program conflict, my ass.
Why is it that the operating system on Dibold's computer *not* immune from virus attacks and needs antivirus software???
This is what happens when you run mission-critical operations on a Fisher-Price operating system. I won't name names.

My first questions:
What OS?
If Linux, why not SSH/Xwindow via XDMCP?
If Windows, why not rdesktop?
