I've work with one VFS filesystem through a CMS application which was powered by Sybase SQLAnywhere. There is a definite performance hit when the directory hierarchy contains thousands of entries. I concur that it has its applications but I would not want nor need my entire system to be handled in this fashion. Mind you, performance is probably improved from the implementation I am referring to so maybe I am just being a cynic.
Q: What is the difference between a virtual folder (vFolder) and a regular folder?
A: A vFolder is a powerful new email management feature available only in Ximian Evolution. vFolders save email searches to dynamically create powerful, contextual views of your online messages. Regular folders are populated with physical copies of emails that are moved manually or automatically. vFolders represent the next level of email management, allowing messages to appear in multiple folders without requiring multiple copies.
The way virtual folders work is you can specify filtering against any number of real "folders" and do sub-filtering based on the results and it's stored as a "virtual folder".
When I am doing billing I frequently make vfolders with project names & dates and use that to reference. It does not physically move the mail from the original folder it was in so there is no duplicate entries in the IMAP folders themselves.
I cannot recreate the test so please right click the directory under Win2k, turn off indexing (recursively), and resubmit numbers after reboot. I'm truly interested in benchmark.
At my former place of employment they presented me with a classic non-compete as well as additional paragraphs regarding any work I may do outside the office or off-hours being owned by them. I promptly X'ed out, initialed, & dated those paragraphs and upon submission told them that I would not work for them under those conditions. When asked about my issue with the outside work I claimed that I was bringing knowledge that I had gained from prior employment and that if I had been bound by similar terms then I would be useless to them. As for the non-compete I claimed that I would be writing off my ability to get future employment within the industry for too long.
Surprisingly they took it well and that was that. I'm sure other suckers signed it and that is what is meant by *read the fine print*. If you've signed broad non-competes then I think I have a bridge (or maybe some twins) to sell you.
there are about three things that need to be done to fix a sick mac, and they don't involve reinstalling every application on your computer like with Windows
Has anyone else noticed how a majority of the claims regarding Mac superiority from the Evangelistas invlove pulling out the MS Windows card when this thread is suppose to be about Linux? I think they're getting desperate.
Regardless of whether they're passing the info back and forth via cookies is not the issue for myself. If the cookie expires at the end of the browser session the information will persisit longer in your cache depending on your settings.
I agree that you shouldn't be dependent on one or the other; it would be ideal if you could deny stored (time-based) cookies and allow session based.
I looked at your link and that there were no info listed on import filters. I use Corel WP8 under Linux so I can handle client documents without firing up NT.
I had downloaded StarOffice earlier today and was annoyed with the app trying to eat up the entire desktop (Gnome). I played with the email client for a bit and after having difficulty customizing it I went back to Netscape.
Overall I do not have a need for an office "suite" but it's a nice idea if you didn't have to fire up a mini-GUI to handle it.
I monitor several servers and I spend too much time firing off emails to sysadmins about scanning scripts running agaminst various subnets. They don't have to crack machines for it to be a pain in the ass. If a machine is running wide open and gets cracked it's a lesson learned but one that isn't necessarily deserved.
What if I just walk through your neighborhood checking each door and window to see if there's a forgotten lock or latch? Or maybe you didn't roll the window on your car all the way up and with a piece of wire I can easily get the lock open?
But I'm not evil. I wouldn't steal your car; just take it for a ride and piss in the interior before I leave.
But maybe you're careful but your family isn't. Perhaps the gas cap on your mother's car doesn't have a lock and I can pour sugar into the tank.
Think carefully about what you're saying. It's corny but in essence time is money and having to rebuild a server after compromise is expensive.
Suppose you have a company that is having a bad quarter and the employees have pushed "What Color is Your Parachute?" to #1 for that domain. It would cause serious damage to stock value.
Also, these types of marketing schemes may cause a situation where companies will not allow the ordering (and shipping) of books to the office which was invaluable to me when I was in an office due to the fact that I was never at home when they would be likely to arrive.
Finally, I shudder to think what kind of info Amazon may sell if this is something they would make public. I think the failure of their Catch-22 theory of profitability is making them desperate to explore new avenues of revenue stream.
Make an even better statement and send your business to www.bookpool.com (only after asking them for an email stating that they would not do something similar).
It's common for vendors to charge less for their products to non-profits and in some ways this is along the same line. Also, I'd be interested to hear how many Win32 developers have contributed to MySQL (or open-source development overall) compared to *nix developers. I'm getting ready to push out a commercial site and if it's stays on MySQL after it goes into production they'll get $200 cause it's worth it.
I'll celebrate the fact that I don't have to be in your IS group -don't you have even a single skilled programmer?
This guy was one of the good ones in the shop: Quote: "what does the dash/greater-than symbol mean?"
(meaning '->', BTW) None of the 3 Notes programmers had a clue what he was talking and us Perl/C programmers had a good chuckle; he thought it was a comparison operator of some type. I find many (I'm not saying all) Lotus Developers to be lacking in skills outside of LotusScript and wouldn't weep over them being absent from my IS group.
I find it hard to imagine that this is an argument against Open Source. I'm confident most commercial software packages for the medical industry already have disclaimers against this sort of thing so what would be the difference?
Mind you, I'm not an expert on this type of thing. Anyone have any details on when the last time a software company was sued because of failure of their product?
BTW: There's a harsh thunderstorm going on and my router's still up! Maybe MS should buy a Netopia;)
I admit, I havn't read the article, but it's name was just ludicrous.
While this response to the article wasn't off-topic or anything, I'm surprised that one wouldn't take the time to read an article on a non-/.'ed site. It's seems to be happening more as far as I can tell.
If an article or topic interests one enough to post comments to slashdot, one should read the article, look over current posts to see if there's a redundency, then post...it leads to a better, more informative site.
Again, not targeted at you BiGGo...just curious that you opened your sentence with that statement. One should know not to judge an article by the summary that Taco or Hemos might normally post;)

If it's a costly and drawn out project I'm sure they'll be on the short-list.
Not unless those VA Linux share burn hotter than rocket fuel.

You, my friend, are wise....
I do not see why this is moderated to "informative" as it seems rather speculative in thinking and lacking in fact.

The author dismisses out of hand many key criticisms of SGI that are quite valid.
