I can't speak for the dude that posted the article, but I went with WebDAV because I have a lot of remote users that I need to support. I wanted everyone to have a place to put stuff, but I also wanted the connection to be encrypted somehow. It could be that I'm an idiot, but I had a real hard time trying to get ssl over ftp to work reliably.
Each user has a read/write WebDAV folder as well as a read access to a bunch of common areas. The same box also has Samba running, so those of us that are in the office will see the same share show up as a mapped drive.
I'm still tweaking it, but so far it's performing fairly well. We have been seeing a lot of hookey behavior with the builtin DAV functionality on Windows machines, but that's bearable.
I'm at a loss for words. I simply don't understand how it's possible to have this many dupes. If your job is to post stories, how hard is it to simply scroll down?
You mean fat chicks? Sure, they're worth protecting too. Especially in America's politically correct culture. Maybe it was a logistic thing, or the fact that they just don't get attacked as much as skinny chicks. Or maybe they just didn't make them for fat chicks.
Yeah, it's just more flamebait. But what the hell, it's Friday.
They might point you right back to the place's you've already been, but you might want to check the vendor's sites for training partners. I know Cisco and Checkpoint both have complete training subsections with links to locations and partners. That's where I'd start.
I heard one IT employee to 20 "regular" employees was the standard. I don't remember where that number came from though. I do remember that being that ratio applying to only helpdesk staff, and it seems a little high today.
I'm also interested in hearing about what other tools are available for load balencing under linux, but if you're using network dispatcher already why not keep on with that? I've played with it quite a bit and it seems pretty solid, so why switch? Is it falling short somewhere on features or what?
I haven't done it before, but I'm sure you could come up with something centered around LDAP that would accomplish what you're describing. I'm pretty sure there's an apache module for ldap, and I'm betting you'd be able to toss in the public keys for scp and modify the ldap schema with an extra field for irc.
Check out www.istockphoto.com. You can download a couple images for free, but after that you need to put up something like fifty cents an image to help with bandwidth and such. But once you download an image, it's yours to do with as you please. The images are of pretty good quality, and there's a decent selection.
For IE, you'll want to copy make the machine that signed it a trusted certificate authority on your computer. I don't have step by step instructions on how to do that, but it should be in the doco for whatever you're using to generate the certs.
Having a software package determine for me what servers aren't worth my attention after a certain time seems a little risky to me. I'd much rather explicitly tell a piece of software not to bug me in the middle of the night if such-and-such goes down than have it try to guess whether I should be bothered.
Nagios has been working perfect for me. Tell it that you don't care if the porn site you host on your employers' equiptment goes down between the hours of 1am and 7am and it'll leave you alone till then. I've also heard good things about Big Brother, but haven't tried it.
He gets to zip along past New York City skyscrapers, for instance, but we know he isn't likely to end up with the girl. Or he's a mutant wolverine with fingers of steel who can't ever have a casual beer with his pals.
From those two statements it's pretty obvious (like we didn't already know it before) that he's full of shit. I'm guessing he's talking about Wolverine as the mutant, but to call that him a "mutant wolverine" is a pretty good sign that you know absolutely nothing about the character.
And some of the best Wolverine stories told involve him out with his friends for a beer. One of my personal favorites is when Wolvie and Nightcrawler took Colussus out for a beer. The night ended with Colussus getting drunk and picking a fight with the Juggernaut.
And Spidey never getting the girls? Where the fuck did that come from? Sure it started out that way, but Gwen Stacey was a babe. He married Mary Jane, and she was a friggin model / tv star.
From the look of the comments it would seem a slashdot editor actually read the story before posting it. That's a sign of the apocolypse if I've ever seen one!

I usually pull up bestbookbuys.com to see about the best prices. This book shows up for $23.90 at half.com...

It'll work. Use something like the following:
/user/harvey.wallbanger>
<Location
<Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
require user harvey.wallbanger
</Limit>
</Location>
If you don't want other users to see the stuff in that guy's folder toss GET and HEAD in the Limit directive.

I read the story - I was just curious to see what happened to the software.
That reminds me, whatever happened to Gobe Productive? It doesn't look like you can even order off thier site anymore.
They might point you right back to the place's you've already been, but you might want to check the vendor's sites for training partners. I know Cisco and Checkpoint both have complete training subsections with links to locations and partners. That's where I'd start.
When I read the headline the first thing that I thought of was the story, "Nintendo Playstation Settlement Bombshell". This looks just slightly more credible.

Exactly how does the Star Wars Holiday Special fit in with the 'canon'?

Not to nitpick, but I think now it's called the WWE or something. Not that I'm in to that sort of thing...
Aren't you in violation of Danish law by linking to the story?

That's enough outta me.

For some reason when I read the title it made me think of one of those cheesy Fox Specials.
Isn't that exactly what was said in the article?
