Help Me Get My Math Back?

I would mod you up if I had any points. Sad as it may seem calculus was where I *learned* trig. For me, trig is one of those subjects that you beat your head against for months and years and one day *POOF* it makes sense. My first semester of college level calculus was were I learned trig. The second time I took that first semester of calculus - man I got it.
Don't forget to brush up on the basics - algebra, trig, analytical geometry as well as your calculus.
goes looking for an old text book just to tinker around with it.......
They may be required to offer it but trying to get them to sell it is a different matter. In San Diego there is only one company that will "sell" it but they will do everything in their power not too. The main reason they don't want to sell it is that they have a hard time billing it anymore. Seems they have lost their software that knows how to bill for the calls.
well for one, nobody is sitting in there car taking my bandwidth or bypassing my firewall. i prefer wired to wireless and having a non-conducting cable is a positive so for me this is something i would do in a heartbeat.
Realize that I know NDS and am just learning LDAP.
Now having said that. In a Novell environment NDS is the *Cloud* (for lack of a better term) in which the network lives. It is a self replicating, distributed, self repairing (to a greater/lesser extent) database. In your Tree you have Containers and Objects that include but are not limited too: Orginizations, Orginizational Units, Users, Groups, Printers, Print Servers, Print Queues, Servers, Volumes, Orginizational Roles (this is about 11 of 30 object types install by default and it is extensible). You do 90% of you administration here (some programs just don't fully integrate into the admin tools). You setup user rights, file system rights, who can see what and do what. You can store programs here for launching with double click. It is X.500 compliant.
In the latest version of NDS, NDS 8 or E-Directory it includes LDAP. You can take an LDAP supporting application and using the catalogs that can be created, use NDS as your Directory for your site.
As was stated E-Directory runs not only on Novell, but can be placed on Windows NT, Linux, Solaris, SCO UnixWare, and I belive AIX and/or HP-UX.
Using it to combine administration of Novell and NT domains allows you to grant rights for any user to any NT server just by assigning rights (no more Trusts) and allows your Novell admins to administrat using NWAdmin or Console One while your NT admins use User Manager.
(Yes I know this sounds like a sales pitch but it's not.)
On the other hand a poorly planed NDS Tree will cause you no end of problems becouse if the Tree is down so is the Network. Fotunantly you can (and *MUST* [ok should but really]) but replicas on multiple servers, partition the network for both performance and redundancy, and raise or lower any of the replicas to master or back to read/write or read-only replicas almost anytime.
Like anything else usefull it has much to be learned about it, but if it is a possibility or a need for you take the time to look into it or talk to someone who knows about it.
to think that there are "property rights" on something that is in everyone of us is luducris. While thier work is important and deserves recognition and compensation but to "own" the rights to something this common is the greatest form of hubris.

NDS is much more than just LDAP.
