I've been testing out CUPS at home with my Epson Stylus Color 440. It prints jsut as slick as it does from the windows box. I think I'm going to have to buy a single user version now. The print drivers just kick entirely too much ass. "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
Actually this is an official standard beta testing registration. You don't even get to download it when you finish the form. They actually have to approve you. One funny note about the form is that it asks about the version of windows you run on the form. i think n/a will suffice;) I don't consider X as Xwindows. There was also a section on current software you use most. I put staroffice 5.1, gimp 1.1 and vim 5.2... I can see the application readers now
"Gimp? VIM?"
hehehe "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
Hrmmm I've never had a problem with SAM setting up two NICS. Of course I've never had a proble with SAM in general. SMIT is another story though.;) "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
I'm just hoping that sun has the money to invest in compatibility with current MS Office formats. Especially.xls. That is one of the points that I find staroffice lacking in. Otherwise I interchange fine with the rest of my office mates and thier Office products. The only reason I need really good excel compatability is for the expense reports;) "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
I've noticed alot of posts about IPSEC and SecureID (hell I even made one) but he's dealing with patients not remote clients. SecureID would be too costly to implement and IPSEC wouldn't make sense. I htink possibly distributing a client certificate on a floppy to the patient at thier first visit would work well. That way you have Certificates from the patients as well as username and password auth security. Include instructions on how to add the certificate to thier browsers and explain to them why it is important to handle it this way (personal information, privacy and what not.) Another important key is to not alientate the patients who DON'T have net access by making them feel stupid when the receptionist asks if they have internet access at home. Of course that part is just a side note. No one should feel like less of a person because they can't get online for whatever reason.

Netcenter and t.o both have "themes" for web sites that customize based on user preferences. Im sure prior art would negate this anyway. "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece

I don't quite think that using redneck in your title says much for your cause. I'm not meaning this as flameage at all but it definatly negates your point by using the term as well. I happen to be a southerner and while I didn't take offense enough to take up arms I still found it kind of lame considering the tone of your post.

Because the source for the application is going to be open, it will always be possible for a third-party to monitor what goes into and out from any decryption algorithm.
That was the one of the two issues that came to mind after I thought about it.
1. With the source being open of course, someone with enough skill would be able to hack a fake daemon and replace the true one. This would still knock out most of the lil scrpt kiddies who like to play until someone came up with an easy to use root kit. 2. How do you handle authentication without making it too complicated to implement? This would certainly be easy for trusted sites but if that were the case you would use IPSEC and vpn the remote sites with you anyway.
guess it was just wishful thinking on my part;) "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
By authenticating the application you could guarantee that a certain daemon is actually THAT daemon and not a hacked telnetd for instance. Is that possible or does it make no sense at all? "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
Well if it's a 2.5 inch drive, it's more than likely a laptop drive. Shouldn't it be just as reliable as any IBM laptop harddrive. The last laptop I had was a vaio so it doesn't quite compare. What's the MTBF on IBM 2.5's? "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
I had mentioned that the other day. It turns out all the color changes have to do with special sections. For instance FreeBSD has the colors you see now. Look at the comments for one of the YRO articles and you'll see some other colors. "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
Well I'll be damned. You think I would have noticed this before now. heheheh "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
In addition, with men like Al Gore still holding elected office, many people doubt that governments can understand the basic issues (technical and otherwise) required for passing reasonable laws.
I find this to be the scariest part of the whole issue. I don't WANT people who have no understanding of the internet to pass laws. Chances are they will screw things up and make it worse. You've seen how the government has already handled encryption and related export laws. People fear what they don't understand for the most part. Thus making laws to restrict what they don't understand makesi t more difficult for those of us who do get it
I think netscape has officially hit the crack pot. 4.7 128 bit for linux is showing all the colors funny. check it out here "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
Cookies aren't the only issue. They can track the http referer header (not SUCH a bad thing as cookies) and other information about you from jsut connecting to them at all. Didn't anonymizer have a link somewhere on the page to show just how much information a website can gather from the client connecting?
By the way..am I the only person showing slashdot colors funny right now? "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
uhhh dude. IANAL and all that but you have some legal grounds to stand on here I believe. You might be able to find some nice lawyer type to help prosecute. If he made all these slanderous statements and it has stopped you from making a living then by all means go forth unto the courts. Of course if you're lying (which I doubt), Ignore me.

The lab I network admin at recently did some testing for a big client that required a Winframe connection to the client to do the testing. Since I had to set up the machines, I got a chance to see exactly how well winframe worked. Going over a 28.8 (barely) connection to the clients dial in which serviced all of the company's sales force, the performance was amazing. Admitedly they load balanced the terminal server connections, but once you connect you are locked to that server. I thought it would be like vnc (horribly slow over some networks) but it was as if I were sitting at the machine itself. you see you local drives in the remote file manager. It is truly sad that Microsoft sucked up another comapnies great technology and claimed it as their own. "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
I think the is the best interview I've read in a long time. Here is the key that jumped out at me.
This is a real world HIGH end test of linux in the server arena. No 8 way procs boxen running the web site. Not even load balancing. Look how it handles under the load. Wonderfully. This is what I want to see more of when people mention benchmarks. I want High profile real world examples. Thank you for a great interview and the positive support of GNU/Linux "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece

This is far from a graipe. I think Lokisoft kicks much ass but since everyone has been posting what they find to be the reasons they occasionally boot to windows, I'll list mine:
C&C: Tiberian Sun - nuff said Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire - Okay I admit I'm a Sid Meier whore. Starcraft/Brood war - Yep..i STILL play these on occasion.
You notice my theme is all stategy games. I find these to have the highest replay value of any games out there. I love a good FPS but they get redundant after a while, eve playing online. I think the big key is going to be Q3 getting released on Linux/Mac/Win32 at about the same time. Depending on how that goes, many companies are going to take note of iD's success and possibly pass off the linux coding to Loki to work in parallel with thier own win32 projects.
My only other concern is for the *BSD users. how well does the freeBSD linux emulator handle Civ:CTP? I hate to leave the other brethren of opensource out in the cold. "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
errrr I find it odd that I can play Civ:CTP full screen on my 8th desktop at the office and hit ESC to pause it and alt 1/2/3/4 or whatnot to go to my other desktops and actually work. You can't do that? "We hope you find fun and laughter in the new millenium" - Top half of fastfood gamepiece
I wans't attempting to be derogatory. Hell, I just noticed I mispelled lose in my post. I am usually the least Americentric person around. What I actually meant was if the tech sector was as big as, say, Japan or Valley. thanks for the rebuke.;)
