Yup. At least since 2.15 when I first used it. It's called "Salvage". The only thing that sucks is that if you delete the actually directory structure (not just files within) then they get dumped into one huge list. So if you had a folder with ten subfolders and a hundred files in each one you would have to manually eyeball a list of those 1000 files plus every other file whose parent folder had been deleted.
Worked great 90% of the time. The other 10% or so it was easier to just go to last night's tape.:)
...allowing resourceful laptop owners to buy the game in mid-air, and then replicate the flight they're currently taking...players to take control of a Skymark badged 767 and fly any of that airline's routes..."
This is the stupidest marketing move I've ever heard of. (Well, okay, maybe not quite that bad.:)
But seriously, why the heck would I want to pay money for a crippled flight simulator?
If I want to play with flight simulator software I'll buy one that actually gives me some options!
Er, what about ConsoleOne ? That's the java admin utility that Novell has been using since NetWare 5.1, which shipped over 4 years ago:)
Oh, yeah, ConsoleOne...
Let me think here a minute.
That wouldn't be the ConsoleOne that four years later still can't perform all of the administrative functions that it needs to? That takes a freakin' lifetime to load even on a fast system with GB connection? That plays video hell with standard remote-control apps (VNC, PCAW)?
Yeah, I remember that ConsoleOne.
I've been using Netware since v2.15 and ConsoleOne was/is the first Novell app that I positively despise!
But I am drooling over this merger.:) My company just sank a ton of $$$ into Win2K/Exchange2K so I can't do anything yet but I can tell you that the next round of upgrades will not be Microsoft based.
Bankruptcy all the way bay-bee!
Just like those companies that make el cheapo hardware with a lifetime warranty. Warranty's useless if the company goes away!
Then reincorporate under a slightly different name (maybe in a different state), tell all the customers that haven't had problems that you had a corporate restructuring and please update the name in their records.
Et voila'! Yer back in business for the cost of a couple hundred dollars in filing fees...
And as I pointed out the queue name is not the core question.
He's already said he looked on D-Link's site (although not that hard because the answer to the queue name question is right here).
Yes, the attitude is one thing, but y'know what? This isn't a site for newbies! It's "News for NERDS etc.
But it's a slow news day, so what can ya do?:)
That is asked in a tangential fashion, but the primary question is about drivers, based on these quotes:
...Unfortunately, the router only ships with print drivers for windows...
...The router's web-based config system provides no configuration for the printer, it just tells me if there's a printer plugged in and turned on or not...
...The printer I'm using is a BJC-250. I've had absolutely no trouble printing on this printer when it was plugged into my parallel port...
Cliff ol' buddy, you just posted a troll!!
Look at the question - he wants print drivers for a router!!
Now granted, this may be a legitimate question (in that the person asking may not know it's a stupid question) but this is like somebody asking "Why doesn't my PS/2 keyboard work with the USB adaptor for my mouse?" I.e. not something that should be posted here!!
For the truly ignorant, here's why the question is a non-sequitor:
He should use any print driver that works with his printer. The fact that the D-Link is part of the connection is completely irrelevant!! Granted he does need to point his print driver to the print queue on the D-Link but there's a million copies of the Linux Printing HOWTO out there and damn if I'm going to post a link to any of them!
Nu-uh! Ain' gonna do it! I'm just gonna sit here and fulminate over how Cliff didn't bother to read the question before he posted it.:)
(Not that trolling Ask Slashdot hasn't been a favored pastime for the teen-age set for years, but c'mon, this one's pretty obvious!!:)
No clue what these files or how you need to work with them but PGP has a pretty good Windows interface now. You just right-click a file to encrypt/decrypt. You'll need support from your fellow engineers but s'long as the files are kept encrypted on the server and only ever decrypted locally (and then re-encrypted when they go back to the server) you should be okay. Just be sure to clear out the local files every night when you go home!
I must admit support was very responsive. I don't think I ever had to hold and emails were answered very quickly.
Unfortunately everything we ran into had one of the following responses: - one of our engineers has been begging for that for a long time(!) - that's planned for a future release but we don't know when - nobody's ever mentioned that before, send it to our suggestions email box and we'll consider it
One amusing conversation went something like this (after I noted that none of the emails back and forth had ID #'s). Me: I'm not seeing incident ID's for anything I ask about, don't you guys use your own software?!? Them: Yeah we do, we just don't use the email portion of it. Me: (Dumbfounded) So what do you do, copy and paste everything back and forth? Them: (slightly shamefaced tone) Yeah, actually, we do...
And not being able to update other tech's incidents via email even if you are set up as a tech yourself struck me as absolutely ridiculous! And no CC allowed on responses even when others were CC'd on the original request! Etc. etc.
Gah! Like I said above, long list of UI issues... (I'll stop now before the men in white coats come to take me away again.:)
Hmm, Shadow9600's account is brand new and has exactly one post.
That single post sounds like cut'n'paste advertising for Track-It and Shadow9600 very carefully includes the cute little "!" in the name which not a single other post has done!!
No way!! I just finished an evaluation of HelpSTAR and it sucks hard!!!!!!!!
We didn't even finish the evaluation period because we got so much negative feedback from users.
It's mostly stupid UI crap, like you can't send a request with "Fwd" or "Re" in the subject line (wtf?) - they say it's to prevent loops.
Attachment handling is awkward - have to click about three levels deep if you want to save it as a file rather than execute it.
There's no way to see all currently open tickets (well, there supposedly is but it doesn't work right).
You can forget about searching for anything like a closed ticket as the search function is terminally useless.
Argh!
That's just scratching the surface, I could go on for hours...
To be fair though, if all you have is a call-center you might be able to make it work acceptably. Most of our issues revolved around email and file attachments.
They've been bought by Intuit. I tried demo'ing their Enterprise version (v6.0-HF3) and never could get the Web server/interface to install properly.
Also has various problems if you don't have the DB/Web on the same server (and other problems if you do!). The base product looked very nice but I never really got to test it because of installation issues which they never resolved.
And these were clean installs on brand new servers! Grr...
Maybe I'll look at them again after 7.0:)
Never trust the "analisis" of people that can not spell analysis.
Did it ever occur to you that English might not be their native language...?
(Or are you just a xenophobic prick?:)
...but damn dude! Shoot your TV, get a life...
I haven't had cable in years, and y'know what? When I'm at friends' houses (yeah, I do have friends:) I'm even happier I made that choice.
The wierd thing is that the longer I don't have it the more I hate it when I do see it. Like reverse withdrawal symptoms or something. TV programming nowadays really is horribly poor quality but it's hard to realise that until you step away for awhile.

Mod me Flamebait (or Funny) as you wish but here's my take on the situation:
:)
Problem:
"...email delivery times are now apparently exceeding the times that our user base deems acceptable..."
Solution:
Get rid of MS-Exchange!

Open source does not provide me a single entity with whom to negotiate...

Anyone who's dealt with software vendors pointing fingers at each other would say the same thing about Closed Source.
