On October 3, 2001, I.A.P. News reported that according to Israel Radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael an acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Peres warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us. "Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America." http://www.mediamonitors.net/khodr49.html
What kind of black budget can you run on $12 Billion?
Or the $3 TRILLION, that went "missing" earlier on Rumsfeld's watch?
No. Nobody makes a "mistake" or has an "accident" in "misplacing" billions or trillions. This is being used against the American people by their supposed agencies, like a gun to the head.
Again. Card Readers and Certs DO NOT MAKE A CARD MANGEMENT SOLUTION.
Conditions necessary, but insufficient.
If you had bothered to read further comments, instead of jump to profanity, you'd have seen how this has been dealt with as a sub-thread.
It is also a tangental point, which does nothing to further the absurd declaration that Vista is so different from XP, that it is an opportunity for platform change.
I wish all the Sysadmins would stop trying to play IT director.
Censorship, properly, is the exercise of power to prevent speech or disclosure.
This ruling is worse. Taken the wrong way, it leads to potential civil-rights prosecution for individuals who suppress advertisements with their Tivo...
When they did something so stupid in a ruling, so contrary to the purpose and intent of the First Ammendment, it is hard to imagine that this couldn't be interpreted this way.
There are big orgs that can't switch to Vista, because of deprecated ActiveX support in IE7. Hello, Seibel! I'm talking to you! And drop the smug expression,, SAP.
If you are proposing an org the size of Boeing or GM risk the operation of their financials on CodeWeavers, then be my guest.
No, I understand this - there are numerous ways one can argure the remote-versus-local processor diametric. I can make succesful points on either score. Your scores of "Knowledge Wokers" - or whaterver godforsaken term is in vogue - have historically been on a trajectory towards more mobility, not less. They need a CPU in their kit.
Wait. We have gone off in every direction, with all kinds of arguments. Most of these bring up good points.
They are tangential. I was simply HIGHLY critical of the moronic assertion that Vista is such a dramatic platform change from XP, that it makes as much sense to switch to Mac.
That makes no financial or operational sense. The most expensive thing to trade are people skills, and operations details. That's the difference in thinking with Director-level experience, or that of a Systems Administrator.
The statement is also just wrong: by this I mean it's a technological fantasy, with no basis in reality! Vista is like XP on steroids - the good things are augmented, and the bad things have grown misshapen, almost monstrous.
I have been tempted to refer to Vista as sports score: NT 6, Users 2.
That said, Vista deployment represents dramatically less risk for existing XP shops, than does a "switch" to MacOS.
Try and get Siebel and SAP stuff to work under Safari / Firefox.
Enterprises buy MS software on SA basis under enterprise agreements. Mac Office SKU is not included, and is cost prohibitive. OpenOffice is more likely as a corp-wide offering.
Binding a cert to a CN - and having a compliant cardreader - do not a card management system make.
Revocations? Temporary cards? Approvalsfor compliance with Certificate Practice Statements? Audit trails? This is not simple. CAs aren't simple - much less when you need validated access tokens.
On this last point, one network admin is quoted: "The changes in Vista are significant enough that we think we can absorb the change going to Macs just as easily as going to Vista."
Yeah. The entire enterprise application base from Win32 to POSIX/Cocoa.
Fire this guy, before he talks to your boss. Jesus! I love Macs - but don't think for a minute that you can use them with smartcards and automatically deployed certificate infrastructures, or any form of distributed policy management, etc. Where is the corporate distribution of packaged software?
This has been my problem with big Linux deployments. If you want badly managed client end-points, go ahead.
That was when Lotus GAVE you 4MB in SIMMs as a promo to induce 123/PM sales. They were unfortunate enough to lead this campaign in PCWeek with a picture of four elephants.
She uses vista - because of JavaScript support in the browser.
Don't think I am advocating OS/2 - just lamenting that exponetial resource use is not commeasurate with exponential - not incremental - functionality and application.

The Saudi's are a disinfo tactic used to distract from the ZOG.
Controls the funding?

As for Congress - all the Senators are Caesar's horse.
Replace STASI with MOSSAD, and you'd be close...
Brilliant.
But that would avert our plan for endless war.

I'm only demi-American. :-)
Born in Swansea, live 25% of time abroad. The remainder is spent is San Francisco, proper. Agreeable for not really being US.
Is now a civil rights violation.

Gee. That looks just like a penis - only smaller.

I used this to control my nodes (OpenBSD) at my MSSP a few ago. That was after giving up on the GNU config and systmes management stuff.
My experience of .MIL is that, regarding cost control, they have a different reality than business.

These guys make such a system http://www.actividentity.com/products/activid_cms
Again, the cost is more for a card system, than a whole identity and policy management infrastructure on AD.
O.K.
Not impossible. Just expensive.
Dual booting is not something I'd want to support for the Accounting Dept., or the Call-Center.
Yeah. The entire enterprise application base from Win32 to POSIX/Cocoa.

Don't try this at home.
Don't fall for that "republic" nonsense. The US is a corporate kleptocracy, where the corporations are proxy-agents for international banking.
Yeah. I meant OS/2 1.3 on a 286 or 386/SX.

I remember the $40/MB RAM!
OS/2 reccomended 4MB
Vista? 4GB
Too bad we aren't doing exponetially better things with these boxes...
means more CASHing!
There's a Gizoogle new machines on line!
Seems more likely to lead to Medeocratic.
