If you ever look at the properties in a typical user's account in AD vs LDAP you will get the screaming heebeejeebies!!! LDAP user = a paragraph or two of logically arranged and named fields. AD user = a page and a half of garble! There's a reason MS has an AD "connector for LDAP" product (for a small fee).
AD might technically have the same modes of communication as LDAP but that's like saying just because I can use the same phone to call my Aunt and that friendly guy in Nigeria that they can and should talk to each other. (Okay, bad analogy, but I thought iwas funny.:)
So, to summarise for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of attempting to integrate AD and LDAP, they ain't even close to compatible Jack!!

I've actually done clean-room-level work (doing whisker rework on bare-die chips and messing around with hard-drives) without a cleanroom and actually never had any problems. Granted I was in an office environment with decent filters and I kept the door closed and tried not to stir things up too much while I was working - ymmv!
However, I have to ask, why do you need a clean-room? Everything's going to be solid-state (and epoxy or ceramic packaged) and/or large enough mechanically (e.g. solar-array deployment) that it shouldn't matter. Unless you're conducting experiments with MEMs or something...? Whatever.
Besides, if you just leave provide enough gaps in the seams to let the air out as soon as that sucker hits vacuum - whoosh! - it'll be really clean!:)

I found an old S3-Virge-DX card (and some older cards I wasn't sure about) in my spares box and emailed them asking if they'd like it, here's the response (I removed extraneous bits that don't apply, like his mailing address!):
Hello,
Thank you for sending a positive comment, we have been waiting for one:) Yes please, we really need them bad, but afaik old Trio64 are not Xv supported by the XFree86 drivers. Did you test them? Well if you can send us any PCI vga card on earth that could do Xv using the XFree86 drivers, just send us plz. uptill now you are the only one who offered us & the 2nd one with a positive comment:)
WTF?!?
Am I the only person who actually read the article and thought about helping out?
C'mon y'all...

This is a troll!!! (Or the gentleman is painfully ignorant).
Having done this myself in the real world I can say with complete authority that one should definitely use cards which support this configuration (e.g. Adaptec's). The reason being that these cards will actively negotiate which one has access to a given device at any particular time.
If you don't have cards that support this (which I didn't, so I found out the hard way) the SCSI devices will get confused and hang if they're accessed by both cards at the same time. Interestingly enough it did work, I just had to be careful what I did on the two machines.
(Better just to get the right cards and not have to worry about it constantly).
If I'm writing a tool to break into a system which has this capability then I will simply pad my binary to match the size and tweak my code/data areas to be the same checksum.
Yes it's a hurdle, but methinks a minor one...

I get into that state too. I have one album that really gets me there easily. I just put it on "repeat" and go. It's by a guy called Plastikman and the album (or maybe the record label? can't tell) is called Novamute.
What albums do it for you?

Hi, I'm an 31337 cracker who is really, really trying to figure out to get a trojan horse onto a cell phone.
Hmm, maybe if I rephrased the question as a clever hack I could get Slashdotters to help! \/\/007!
I am not a lawyer, but I believe that if the suit is against the corporation, rather than the individual, it really doesn't affect him. The corporation is a legal entity unto itself. It disappears, the judgement becomes a piece of paper in a file somewhere and the spammer carries on unphased.
Unless, of course, he filed as a sole-proprietorship or in some other way screwed up when he was filing. We can only hope...:)
- most newer PS/2 keyboards can be hot plugged with no problem - most older (AT-style) keyboards with a PS/2 adaptor will cause damage - the damage is actually caused by a filter capacitor in the keyboard drawing too much juice initially for the poor little fuse on the PS/2 port to handle. If you look at any mbd with PS/2 ports (and you know what a surface mount fuse looks like) you'll see one each for the mouse and keyboard - newer keyboards (anything made in the last 4 or 5 years) are better designed and have smaller filter capacitors, hence less risk (if any) of blowing the fuse - if you do blow the fuse you can just bridge it with a carefully bent paperclip or a bit of careful soldering; I've never seen any other part of the circuit take any damage after bridging, even with repeated hot-plugs of the keyboard (or mouse) which toasted the fuse originally
But yeah, hot-plugging anything that isn't actually designed for it is kind of asking for trouble.
The problem is enforcing the judgement...
All he has to do is ignore it and they can't do anything without a prolonged legal wrangle with the courts in his state.
Assuming they work through that he'll have to pay some sort of contempt of court fine (a few grand at most) but he can dodge the rest simply by declaring bankruptcy and reopening under a different name.
(Disclaimer: I am presuming that this didn't happen decades ago before all the lawsuits over email)
This is not flamebait, it's a simple fact. It's been proven time and time again at just about every level of the United States legal system that a company has every right to do whatever they want with their internal email. They ownit!
Your CEO is/was head of the company, right? - QED

...but how does "Programming Theory" need a book to be understood?
Information comes in, it gets processed and goes back out.
Anything more complicated than that starts getting into the whys and wherefores of the particular hardware/OS/compiler/libraries/languages you're working with.
There's best practices, sure, but theory?!? Somebody tell me what I'm missing in this question...
Oooooh, got it, I think we got our wires crossed!
The $7 I was referring to is the actual (typical) production cost of a package of software, which can retail for anywhere up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. (I.e. completely out of my, and many other people's, price range).
I completely agree on the movie thing...
Geez, no wonder you thought I was a flaming idiot (and vice versa:).
Boy did you read a lot into that!:)
Your response actually argues my point. Except that you failed to allow for the scale:
Of course, to a homeless person, or to a bankrupt person, seven dollars to them is much more important than seven dollars to you. Perhaps someone should take away your money and give it to a homeless person.
Rephrase that to be the penny of my example above and yes, I would hardly begrudge a homeless person a penny. Even as it is rather silly for corporations to begrudge the loss of $7.
There are those that would argue that it isn't $7 but rather whatever the software costs to purchase normally, but if the thief could never have afforded the full price, (and yes, I do still agree that it is a theft), then it hardly equates.
Just my 2 cents (er, I guess that would be 1 cent!:)
In literal terms, and as a percentage of net worth, the contents of my wallet will be worth far more to me than the $7 will be to any corporation.
It becomes a matter of scale and perspective.
If a clerk shortchanges you a penny (on purpose or otherwise) do you go back and get it? Of course not.
In fact you probably toss a penny or two into the little penny bowl from time to time for the poor sod that needs one...
This is totally off-topic, but I have to ask.
I see your posts on a regular basis (usually pretty good ones) but I also see your sig.
Are you really still unemployed after gawd-knows-how-long?!?!?!?!?!? I mean dang!
