That many? Hmmm...perhaps they need to start cleaning the Internet on the 4th of July as well as New Year's Eve. I'll need to dig that warning out, so I can suggest it to the guy responsible for such things.
Quite so. The weary WebAdmin, as well as the SysAdmin and Network Operator can all sleep easy knowing that Joe RandomScriptKiddie is remotely administering the latest updates to their Win2000 servers for them.
Anyone running printer services over the Internet on a server is an utter moron for one.
How else would you run printer services over the Internet, assuming that's what you require? Throw an HP JetDirect box next to your router? Or set up an IPP daemon on a server you can secure, printing to the printers, and lock it down?
As an aside, are there any good, securable IPP daemons for any OS out there yet? I haven't touched Win2000's IPP service yet, and haven't had much chance to look into CUPS on Linux.
Of course, Ford doesn't advertise that their cars practically run themselves, with no operator needed. Nor do they include a "Getting Started" guide that gives the sense that nothing more is needed than the pointy, clicky, hit FINISH and it's running method. Their allowing their "certified" people to be churned out after a week of rote-cramming and little-to-no practical experience furthered that image. So many MCSEs have proved to be so obviously clueless that the idea that NT can be competently adminned by someone with a clue deficiency.
Thanks for your response. Glad to know that there was a definite reason for such, rather than a whim. Better to have a leaner product that works, than have a buggy one pushed out the door.
Myself, I always choose "Custom", even if I end up selecting everything. I like to see exactly what is being installed, rather than a vague description. And I like to cut out the stuff I won't use up front. I guess the Windows installers with their "Custom" choices have me paranoid. They tend to bite me in the ass when I use them to install/uninstall bits and pieces after the original install, so that has influenced my habits as well.
From reading the article, Apple appears to be morally bankrupt in this case, but well within their legal rights. Yes, it is an asshole thing to do, to take something people have worked openly and freely on, given freely without restriction, then not repay them with like generosity. But an the other hand, these same developers who are being "abused" released their code with licensing terms that make this sort of code grab perfectly legal and perfectly hunky-dory with said developers. It is the rest of the community that is getting supicious, and with good cause. When given the chance to do what is widely perceived as the "Right Thing To Do" in the "GPL" community, Apple has behaved as a grasping, lurker-not-a-participant the-end-justifies-the-means corporate entity.
As read in the article, Apples support of Open Source appears to be a 1-way street, which will piss off people, but again, Apple is does not appear to be violating licenses. Just the trust they have been asking for.
That's a good point, but is aside from the one I was making. Is running the mimimal install, restarting X, then running Red Carpet again to add the apps you wanted in the beginning, but weren't allowed to select without being forced to install apps you didn't want, the smoothest and easiest way to do things? It IS a wonderful thing to be able to use Red Carpet to add things later, but it is a very irritating thing to have to do it immediately. Having the option of making a finer-grained application selection up front seems to me to be a better design than being required to re-run Red Carpet immediately after installing in order to get what I REALLY want.
I just used go-gnome last night to uprade to Ximian from Helix. Very smooth, very slick. The biggest nit I have to pick with the installation was that I was limited to Ximian's "categories." I could have a minimal install, an install with productivity apps, an install w/productivity and Internet apps, or a full install including the "development files." (Did I leave any choices out?) There was no obvious way to do a "Custom" install, a la $BIG_MICROSOFT_PACKAGE. Since I wanted the "Internet" apps, I got all the "Productivity" apps that I don't use, and will have to uninstall them tonight.
To sum up, the installer was nice and easy to navigate through, but it was draconian in limiting me to the categories that Ximian felt I needed. Tying this together, I mention Microsoft installs for a reason. Windows 95, 98, NT4, NT5, and Office 95, 97 and 2000 have given the option of a "Custom" install, letting me pull out many things I don't need. Ximian seems to be much more controlling than Microsoft, and Ximian is supposed to be Free.
Yes, I know I could do the manual install of the packages, and not use go-gnome/Red Carpet/Helix/whatever the offical name is, but isn't that the main focus of Ximian/Helix, to make it easy to get what you want and need from Gnome installed, without the manual install?
Do you really believe that everybody owes you something? You might want to look at that view again, or you're probably going to get a huge disappointment down the road.

You can use Notepad, too. Does WinDBG give any useful info? Info that can be found in the Knowledge Base? Unlike many Event Log errors, that is.
If it's useful, I'll have to give it a poke or two.
Basically, yes. The rash, and accompanying itching, swelling, etc. (depending on how sensitive you are) is caused by an oily secretion from the ivy. Not sure if it comes from leaves, stem or both, but I have gotten a rash from both. If you burn it, it becomes gas, and still contains the irritants. That means it can easily get into eayes, ears and respiratory. A friend of mine was on a Boy Scout campout when some idiot threw some in the fire. The kids who got into the smoke all ended up with seriously affected eyes, ears, nose, throat and pretty much all exposed skin. That, and the fact that I would have gotten beat up more, makes me glad I didn't join the Scouts.
