That's the theory. Actually, nepotism and cronyism rule most board rooms. People bring the same acuity of vision and judgement to hiring CEOs as they do purchasing new cars. "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap would otherwise have been parking cars instead of cooking the books and laying people off. Shareholders are captive sheep. Stock prices don't track performance very well and they don't track performance relative to competitors at all.
I think the tools are there, but they don't get used.
Hey - I don't know if your wife can install apps at school (there should probably be a policy against it) but maybe she could have the appropriate tech install the win32 gimp port. I like it a lot.

I was in a team in an intermediate C class. A teammate had trouble getting her code to work so she did a global search and replace on everyone else's code, eliminating all those asterisks because "they don't seem to work"
Oddly enough, ampersands didn't work much better.
Do not make test scores part of the grade for a programming class.
Who moderated this up? This clown is *definitely* missing something.
Someone assembling for a peaceful political protest is hassled by security forces *before* protesting - and you have no issues with this? This is moving down the road - not there yet, but close enough to be ashamed - toward rule-by-goons as practiced in Yugoslavia. It's unAmerican. But apparently it's consistent with Republican values.
Free speech is what makes America worthwhile. You can find purple mountains and amber waves of grain lots of places.
This is somewhat off-topic, but other closed-source VPN solutions were proposed, and I thought people entertaining them should consider Aventail. (Disclosure: I no longer work there- but I used to. I have no financial interest at all) Their product is based on open standards (SOCKS5), is modular as hell, and runs on many flavors of *nix, including Linux, of course. There is a server piece for NT. The client side runs on Winbloze as well as the *nices. What I appreciated most was how little the client mangled the client machine. Very small footprint, very well-behaved. I used to have to support all these winsock apps that were mutually exclusive and it drove me up a tree. This doesn't do that. The client is rules-based, and you can set it up to ignore (not set up VPN) for some things, and to set up a VPN for others. Many clients force you to be either in or out of the secure tunnel. Aventail's products don't. Also- the VPN is set up at the session level, allowing access based on individuals, not nets. Very good for untrusted extranets.
I remember reading about a web service that would let users post notes on various 3rd party sites. Your browser would connect to a site, then to the service to see if other users had tagged the site with their own notes. It was like opt-in graffiti or something. It sounded cool but I didn't follow up and lost the links. Probably didn't survive in our Orwellian world...

I am glad something as good as postfix is available Free. I had a pretty good experience with it under trying circumstances.
I don't know of a good alternative to djbdns, though. I'm sticking with the OpenBSD bind 4.

I remember getting the hostages to run to me, then going "down" while landed to make the helicopter bounce. Hostages. Who likes *them*, anyway?
