"As soon as we have 'an Office' we'll take over the desktop!"
As we all know Star Office was not that product.
OS X has Office. It is vital to keep that product. It is the application that can swing things in a *nix on the desktop way.
OS X is an excellent platform (I say as I post from my G4 running 10.1.3) and I would be happy to see it gain prominence. I have gotten a few Windows folks to purchase iBooks recently and they have been estatic.
Word, Excel & PowerPoint no matter how bloated, over accesorized or even potentially dangerous (via macros) are the most important products to move OS X out of the hands of a few weenies and onto the desktops of corporate America.
Nice server in Domino, secure, fast and if not on NT stays up for quite a while (does very well on W2K tho)
Further Lotus Notes can do anything Exchange can do and about a million things it can not. Is a Notes developer needed? Well yeah, but I'd rather have that then have to spend 3 days down everytime some kid in Thailand has the day off from school.
how can I feel good about the work I'm doing if I don't have confidence in my management?
First ask your self these questions?
1 -- Who the Hell am I to judge Management? As brilliant as I am did I have the fortitude and cash to start a company that employs enough people to have managers?
2 -- Why do I need to _feel good_ about my work in a non quantifable way? Why can't I simply be satisfied in the work I accomplish? Do I honestly believe that that every person who has a job _feels good_ about their work? Do taxi drivers; warehousemen; burger flippers; lumberjacks; DCMA lawyers; Senators; sys admins need to _feel good_ about their work or can they just get it done? Can knowing you're good be enough satisfaction? Can doing your job to the best of your abilities be the bronze ring?
3 -- Other than the deadline and some parameters; what do I really need to know?
4 -- When the economy totally tanks and no one is wiling to pay me to manipulate text in a way that a computer can understand it; will I care about _feeling good_ about my work or will the fact that i haven't had to sell any organs this week to make my mortgage be enough?
5 -- Am I insane to be caring about how I feel about managers in this economy?
See how those five questions get answered and then Q-Tip the shit out of your brain and get a job.
not to argue here. but unless you're root you won't be replacing or changing the init.d file. BUT anyone or anything can replace/change your Autoexec.bat file.
For $49.99 I want to simplt open the book and know how to do what is in it.
No more Thinking In Java. I want to _know_ Java. I want to be an expert immediately. I don't want to read anything. I don't wat to have to know anything. I want to open the book and simply have the information flashed to my brain.
My son is two. He plays with Lego, and Duplos (which I believe _can_ be pluralized.) Dan, my son, does _not_ have a job. He goes to school, but, he plays with Lego bricks when he's there (note how I neatly avoided pluralizing Lego!) so that doesn't count.
I think if you are playing with a product like Lego to accomplish something you might have too much time on your hands.
My son certainly does. And this guy... a Mac loading up to iTools (s/b sTools for SLOW) he must be sick with all the free time he's enjoying.
You hate M$, you love Open Source, you think Linux Roolz, you probably have $60 bucks somewhere. Just send them the money,
RH puts out a decent product and will probably be the last Linux standing tall at the end. Just give'em the $60 bucks and prove that you are more than a 1337 h4x0r and someone who actually cares about this whole Open Source, anti M$ thing.
I majored in Journalism and spent so much time fixing the crappy Apple Talk NW that I ended up swtiching to Windows (sorry Linux just wasn't available in 1987) and NW the two so we wrote on Win and did Layout on the Mac.
Next thing I knew I was a Sys Admin with an English degree.

<i>I hate that it takes 1 hour meetings everyday to justify our positions.</i>
Trust me when i tell you this; I have experience here. You are weeks from getting fired/laid off.
<i>I wish the boss came in one day and surprised me with a worthy task</i>
Start wishing that the boss doesn't come in and tell you today is your last day.

the damn platform needs something! The Updater should be called Crasher. The only time my macnix crashes is during an Update.
Yes when it reboots the update works but still.
Carbonized or rewritten completely in Cocoa?
(I really tried, I just couldn't help myself)
in fact for a few months I blocked:
Hotmail
Yahoo
MSN
USA.net
When those folks learn how to close their relays and strip a virus then we can deal with the Asians....
A little while ago a site I worked at was blacklisted.
We fixed the problem that day and when we contacted the SPAM COP he wrote back to say, basically:
All Lotus Notes Mail Servers are insecure so we're leaving you on the list. Get another mail server.
I made achange in the Notes.INI file that made it look like I was using SendMail. And he fixed us.
Ridiculous policy. Notes is pretty secure anyway! I wonder what this guy read...

that module has saved me hours of icky pool cleaning. Thank you CPAN!

That is of what I speak.

That's what kind of book I want.
This is a Troll? Sounds like a testament to Perl to me.
"Perl has helped me in so many ways. Like the way my laptop formatted itself at 8PM on Friday.
Cost of loading Perl == Free
Getting a call from my boss on Monday, "What's wrong with the laptop?" == Priceless"
This guy is totally, irrevocably insane.
.bat file can wipe your harddrive you don't have any security.

Here's a phrase Windows should look into -- Permission denied

Feb == Valentines Day (Massacre)

Do I have to spell it out people?
I purchased AtomTime98.
.dll Hell and spewed bugs like a cursed pyramid!
I purchased Window Shade X.
Both are excellent.
I wish I had paid for pkUnzip and/or WinZip as they are both very useful/essential to Windows computing.
most of the other stuff is/was crap that created
