The main idea of Cyber YU is to gather people from former Yugoslavia who are scattered all over the world following the civil war there. I think the goal of CY is to share information, find friends, relatives, etc. more than being a "real" country. Check out the current "citizenship" statistics at http://www.juga.com/list/countrystat.asp 839 people declared themeselves as real Yugoslavian citizens. This site following the (very successful) model of Serbian Cafe (www.serbiancafe.com) and couple of other Yu-related sites. I'm sure that the Cyber-Yu web masters will be very pleased to see added traffic to their site, though....:) Hey, they are not even officially up, and they are already/.-ed!:)
You want a Y2K tool for NT? Check out Y2K Test And Fix (http://www.y2ktestandfix.com)...As far as I know, it is network deployable (although I am not sure about NT). Price? $25 per seat, with volume discounts. I know it might be a tough cookie to swallow considering that less than 6 months for now it will be useless...:/ You want telnet? Microsoft sells pretty decent (and affordable-$150 list) package called Windows NT Services for UNIX, which includes telnet (client and server), NFS (client and server), KORN shell and password synchronization. I use NFS and telnet servers daily to connect my debian box with NT and they work as advertised. As for "X is better than Linux" - I won't go there. NT happens to work fine for me, same as NetWare 5, same as Linux. I think this is called freedom of choice. Hope this helps.
After reading couple of posts re: iBooks are chick magnets, fruity things sell, etc. I conducted a little experiment: I pointed the girls (ages 25-45) in our office to the Apple web site and observed their reaction. And you know what?
They absolutely love it!
Sample comments: - "This is so awesomely beautiful!" (looking at the orange one) (?!) - "Only $1600?" (?!!) - "You mean I can go on AOL with no cables?" (AirPort comment) - "When can I get one?"
To be fair, I also showed them the PB G3 "Lombard" and a couple of better looking PC laptops (Sony Vaio, Sharp Actius, Toshiba Portege), only to get lukewarm responses...
Well, I guess you guys are right - the power of marketing is amazing.

No, not really...you would have to have directory hooks in your applications in order to make them directory enabled....as for filesystem analogy, yes, you can look at the directory structure the same way as you would look at the file directory tree, but this is only the structural look, the directory structure provides you with much more functionality than filesystem only.... The whole directory thing is a very broad and still emerging subject and it is kind of hard to sum it up in a/. post...if you are into thick books, try "Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services" by Howes et al. (ISBN 1578700701)...this book is considered *the* book on the subject of directories.

Exactly opposite here...:) This whole UNIX/Linux thing is brand new to me...As for NDS, I think (hope) that it will become (or evolve into) de facto directory standard, so take notice!
From what I've read, it looks like they went with a hybrid that consists of the old-style NT domains and some aspects of the "regular" directory structure, as known from, say, Novell's NDS: you have your regular tree structure with a Root, Organization, Organizational Units and leaf objects, but you also have a Forest, which is supposed to be a collection of separate directory trees that trust each other and are able to synchronize and replicate directory data through some sort of trust relationship....I played with it a bit and then went back to NDS 8, which is infinitely better in every aspect - scalability, stability, ease of use, not to mention maturity (it's been in the works since mid-90's). As for LDAP, M$ AD has an LDAP connector, although it is "implemented a bit differently" (read: "embrace and extend").
If you are into FUD, here's what M$ has to say about their "new" invention in regards to NDS: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/server/eval/com parisons/ADandNDScomp.asp
Damn straight! The best time I had on the internet was back in 1992-3 on IRC - well-mannered and informative conversations were abound...no ICQ and other crap...
This looks like something that escaped from some derranged engineer's lab. It is still a single-socket motherboard. How the Hell is the OS (a good one, say...NT?;)) going to know that it has two processors to use? Weird.
