The person is probably not going to be the one to mess it up. He is looking for information on how to implement things, and will be running a test case to see how it works. He has stated his reasons(money, and since he's on slashdot: dislikeing of MS) and is looking for the best solution that there is available to him.
He is not switching his whole server over to Linux with Samba and auth on it, he is moving some client systems over. Major difference in the disruption level if things don't work out.
I just read the article mentioned above: This is an excellent article that explains most of the steps necissary for a person to auth a linux box with and AD server. I highly recommend it.
Kidding? My current is a 500 AMD, I'm picking up a dual Athlon board from a friend this afternoon and am very glad that I pay reseller prices for my CPU's on this one...
But besides that, once I have the money, I will see about getting a dual amd64 system(they will probably be pretty good by then). With 4 lcd displays, SB audigy vX(whatever is newest then) ATI video and gig network to access my (to be built) terabyte file server... ah dreams...
I agree that the T616 is a good phone. I've loved mine since I got it. I also use a Jabra bluetooth headset with it and voice dialing... I don't have to use the phone much at all. I've not had issues that really bug me, the keys work fine, even to play the games, the screen looks fine at most times(I hate sunlight, so I avoid that) and I love the feature set.
Supercomputers _do_ fit into a tower case. 10 years ago the power that I ship our the door on any given day was unheard of. Tomorrow you will be able to buy a system that has Terahertz in a normal beige box... And you will get a couple of hundred thousand FPS in your quake 3 benchmarks, and about 3 FPS in the newest games.
Excellent, I'm having a bonfire out in the field tonight, and the weather has cleared up, so conditions look to be good. It will be a fun night... esp since the people showing up are a bunch of pyros and it's so wet here that you could drop in some napalm and not start much of a blaze...
Well, let me see here, you personally chose to pay attention to me. You have replied on 2 sub threads on this site under this name. This one, and a random stupid comment I made about a game. In that random comment you replied with a link to my photo album, a certain part of it and included a simple comment that let me know that you knew me directly or indirectly in real life. So, based on that and the relativly recent signup of the username: I come to the conclusion that you are very likely not who you imply you are.
So, unless you have a good reason that convinces me otherwise, I think continuing this sub-thread.
I do feel you miss how I look at this. I know that you are refering to my site at cauze.com when you mention a community site. The thing is that I do not have the intention to make it a majorly open and usable site at this time. People can sign up if they can figure it out( I threw that together, and it is ugly ) and request a community if they wanted. But I only have one community on there that I don't know the founders. I write it in some of my spare time, and the only reason I did that was to learn PHP. I decided to learn a language, and at about the same time a site that we used decided to announce that they would start to charge for access.
My question is: Why do I have to make this nice and simple and accessible to everyone? I pay for it, I do the work on it and my friends and I use it. It works for us, with few bugs( I will get to them, but as a hobby I don't rush it ).
Now since you say that you make sure that those who work for you do such a bang up job, give an example I can take a look at(even as a commercial app, I can probably find someone who knows about it). I never pass up an opporitunity to learn something, maybe they could help.
As for web browser compatability, I don't code the frontend look and feel. One of my friends recently finished a web dev course(I feel the course was a waste, but not my money) and I'm letting him experiment with the layout. We have not set on a look, so have not set on getting it working everywhere. As for the community sites themselves, that is my code( yes, I know I cannot do design ) and I test it in every browser I can get my hands on. It works equally well in Mozilla, Netscape 4.x, IE4/5/5.5/6 and a number of others.
And the spelling, I type this up and post it. If I want a professional spell check, I'll do that, but the effort is generally not apreciated when done, so I don't bother. This post will have spelling mistakes, deal with it, you will be able to read it.
True, but as I stated, not everyone out there creates stuff just for those reasons. I beliave this falls into the "I wonder if I can do this" category, and the person just decided to release it to see what happens, I know that I would do that if I had written something like that.
If no one is paying you to do something, you get to decide what your influences are. If someone does not like your decisions, well, then they can find their own solution.
Yes, there is such a thing as saving your game too often... Ever played games on an emulator? almost all of them have an instant save state key, that you can return to at any time. Using that feature, you can beat any game in about the minimum possible time, reach a hard part, save your state, die, restore the state and keep rying, no loss of life, verrly little repeat.
(Memo to me, lookup those 2.6 kernel instructions, running multiple file hashes in the background while typing is soo amazingly sluggish that I am taking naps between sentences...)
One solution I have seen for this problem is to have a few font size controls in the upper corner. I think wired uses this in the upper right of some of their articles. Basically, click the button and it changes the CSS with a dash of javascript(like 1 line I think could do it). Just one of many ways...
Also, on entering the site, give people the option to choose the look they want.
Now would the wxWindows GTK port link with this? If so then I could bring all my wxWindows apps to terminal access... that would actually be quite usefull, all those little utils I wrote from any system I control...
Just a sec, I have a text terminal that I was working on a few days back... I suddenly have an urge to redouble my efforts on that. Heh.
And for those who are complaining about how this is a total waste of time, and this person could have been more productive elsewise: You didn't pay them to do this, and your money would not pay them if they were, eg..., fixing the file dialog as many complained about.
This is one of the nice things about coding open source: If you want to, you can try to code it. It can be totally useless, but that is not a reason to stop trying. Usefullness is not a deciding factor for everyone out there.
You may ask why, and I will state right now that I'm not sure it is the earliest example, but it is so well done that you just don't notice. I was watching the DVD commentary track a while back and they comment on it a few times... The scenes on the mississippi with large numbers of incidental boats on the river in the bg... Stuff like that... Don't know the details of course.
I'll put it this way, I rate CG by how easy it is for me to notice it, the more I notice it, the lower the score usually(for live action, and those who try to be near to life like FF:tsw). And if the general public sees it as CG, then it just plain fails. And I don't mean this in a Jar-Jar sense either. Everyone knew he was CG, but his integration into the environment was superb, so the realism was way up there...
will it really include every episode of Doctor Who
They don't actually have every episode of a lot of older stuff. They decided a while back that the archives had no value and started destroying it. This is a real pain for collectors like me, but something we have to work with. Still, I'm hoping that thay will be able to flesh out my collection some(as i'm broke).
actually, I don't consider that something special, and I don't really care about the connection... It is just something that was found on the tree at some point, things like that the a connection to clan fraser(I'm registered as a family connection to that too, so?) As for the great geek world? Not really, I have geek friends, and non-geek friends, they accept me, to the best of my knowledge, and so it don't matter to me. Thou I do fail to see how being related to someone, who is decidedly non-geek, has anything to do with that.
As for the proof, I don't keep a copy of the family tree around, I think I mentioned that it is not my interest, just information that comes from direct family members research. If you area really anal about it, e-mail me and I'll see about getting you a copy, but I don't have it right now.
That would run it fine, I know from experience... Maybe a 486 could cause those issues...
As for network transparency, keep it! I use it everyday all day, I have 2(working on getting that to 3) xterms in my setup and they just run off my main box, so it is driving apps on 4 displays(it is dual head) at any given time... running kde3.1.2 on all displays and only using a AMDk6-2 500...
The basic X protocol should definatly be supported, along with compression extensions, my older hardware could never be upgraded( propriatary software unfortunatly ) to the new protocols, but work fine with what is there, but I would love to use one of the linux boxes at school to access my system with some reasonable speed...
Superconductors would only really be needed if you wanted to get the power directly from the generator in africa to new york city...
In the global power grid it would operate more like(simplified): there is a power deficit in new york, it pulls in power from the west of north america, creating a deficit there, which will then pull extra power from (say there is an interconnect to) eastern russia, they will then pull power from central russia, and they from the middle east, and they will pull some from africa and everyone will hopefully have some juice when it is all said and done...
Basically, the power from africa is still relativly close to there, and other power is really dealing with the problem...
At least that is how I understand it... IAMAEE but I'm playing one today on slashdot...
So I guess it would be a bad thing to mention that accorting to the family history( I have not bothered to verify this ) I am rather close on the family tree to the founder of their church?
Ah well, every family has a couple of those... ours just are sometimes a little extreem...
( That and the relation, I've seen the tree for this one, to the actor that plaid Big Bird and Oscar )
From your description, you need to log what was done with a signature from the location's manager to verify it was done... simple.
Example: with a pocketPC based system, just log the data in a excell spreadsheet and save the sig as an image...
or
Code something yourself, the tools are free from MS, either vb or C...
And for the backup issues, just give them a media card that they can backup and make it mandatory that the card be removed in the program, once the data is updated, then one copy will be relativly seperated from the other if one is lost and pccard of compact flash card modems exsist if you want to communicate directly... just throw together a simple webserver to deal with that, get a few accounts with nationwide ISP's and you are set...
Not really that complex... If you offer me money, I'll write if for you...

Novell may just be doing the right thing here, this could be extreemly interesting.

almost reason enough to move my firewall over... or see if someone will port it to linux...
