Um....he wrote the novelization of the movie, based on a short story by an entirely different author...so really the translation goes in entirely the other direction....
As a writer myself I am curious how you go about writing...I read the notes you had in the in the "incarnations"(Your best in my opinion BTW) series so I guess I am looking to see if time and/or new technology has changed any of that....
Yes but in most cases like where I sit right now, the print server handles 30+ queues...not exactly practical...personally I think the thread is more aparanoid than one needs to be within their own company walls...but I wanted to be clear on the issues.
Most office printers there days are IP connected. Therefore there is a crucial lan path that is nearly impossible to encrypt which is from the printer server to the print device. The Print device has the print engine inside it which is just reading the Print language so to speak, in most cases postscript. The server is nothing more than a switching station for print jobs to send them off to the proper printers. More so since these printers are IP connected to begin with the printer server can be avoided entirely as a client workstation can be setup by a savy(and enabled user) to print directly to the printer via IP. In the end its the printer makers themseleves which might need to be involved in solving this providing encryption in the device itself and the printer drivers. It is certainly possible to sniff the traffic going to the printers IP and pick out the Postscript/PCL/etc commands which generate the print out and then recreate the document as things sit right now. The answer would be to encrypt in the drivers and decrypt in the print engine on the printer I would imagine, using some kind of public/private key echange, or perhaps a tunnel....
1. What OS are the machines running? 2. What level of Access do the users have, admin, poor shumck user? 3. Do you have SMS Installer available to you(its a programing environment for writing install scripts)? 4. Do you have Winbatch available to you? (you will need either 3 or 4 not both) 5. Do you have the Resource kit for whatever os they are running?
You just need a script that removes the key written in one of the two installers above. To deploy it you need to know what level of access the users have...if they all generally have admin(unfortunately most companies are that stupid to give all the users this level of access to thier own machines) then you can deploy the script in the logon. Otherwise, Group policies could be used, or SMS. That failing grab a copy of Darkside its a utility for alllowing you as a n admin to removely excute things on someone elses machine. PSexec could also be used for this as well.
I have similar problems, not so much intrastructure wise, but just balancing my time to be "geeky" with my time to spend with my girlfriend. She doesn't seem to understand that "yes computers are my job" but "they are also my hobby" A good thorny programming problem or a misbehaving motherboard and getting it fixed is how I relax. I enjoy doing the biking, and hiking, and dog walks she likes to do, but once in a while I just need to go in to deep hack mode to relax for a while. Anyone got any advise on how to handle telling her that.
This is the same old crap SUSE, and others have been pulling for a while now. Suse has for sometime now not provided an ISO image for the distrobution. They have simply taken it a step further now, by providing compliled binaries at all. One would expect this as a natural business evolution. Now from an honest point of view I would have only ever downloaded the ISO, and have never even considered purchasing the distrobution. Infact I have only purchased two linux distrobution CD's in my life in the early 90's when I was a bit of a UNIX/LINUX newbie.(which were both turbolinux as I remember, and one of which I think was when turbolinux as simply repackaged slackware.) Since that time I have moved to using only distrobutions that offer a downloadable ISO image, Stampede for a while, then a breif flirt with Mandrake, Debian for my DEC Aplhas because its the only distrobution I can get to install on them, and now Slackware for everything else I do, although Gentoo, and sorcerer seem promising once they stablize a bit more(Yes I know these are not Binary distobutions in the strictest sense, but they do provide a downloadable that gets things off the ground). From a business sense, I think that it would make more sense to provide for the download(and sell a boxed distrobution in the store at minimal cost) and provide for signing up for service/support on a web site. This really is an elegant answer, get your distrobution in the hands of the people who want it, and make the money on those who want support. This would also allow a corpation wanting to use the distrobution the opportunity to break the M$ support cycle and lockin clauses they have been stuck with for years. Support costs should be for the people who need support. Not this per seat(aka per person your company employs, per computer your company owns M$ crap).
Opinions and assholes everybody has one after all....
On with the real meat. The author misses the point I think. The Epic grew to meet its audience. Which is a good thing. Lucas did exactly what the "old" star wars watchers wanted. We want the answers to the many questions we have always had about how did this happened where did this come from? The backsotry is key in making the entire Star Wars story arc come together. Which exactly how he screwed up so royally in the eyes of the "old" crew in Ep1 it wasn't the Star Wars of old it didn't fit, it didn't really answer any questions. Ep2 is much better, and is a much better fit it answers those questions. Spiderman on the other hand doesn't have that back weight to deal with, it phrases its own new questions and answers(and lets face it everyone in the world knows the basic themes and stories of spiderman, there really are no new suprises there)
I beg to differ, (of course I might differ cause your still living with your mommy but thats a different story). I am stil employeed thankfully. I made just over 75K(took home less than half that after taxes, 401K, ESPP, etc) last year in my Technical Analyst Position, between my house mortgage, car payments, food, heat, and just the basics of living(I spend vitually no m oney on myself that doesn't absolutley need to be spent otther than my cable Modem, and the ocassional DVD). If I became unemployeed now I would last probably about 2 months at most without a paycheck, and that would be on the proceeds of selling my now worthless stock short. Perhaps this person is in a simlar situation. My outlook has always been to build for the future of being unemployeed when I retire, and not for being unemployeed when my company has a RIF.
Anyone got 3.0 working from the tgz's for slackware 8.0..... I did the install changed the KDEDIR to/opt/kde3....but it never gets past setting up inter process communication....and kdeinit fails to startup....?
Its kinda funny that the thing that has helped M$ bcome who and what they are is now the object of their attacks. If someone had not come up with a Blind Reverse ENG of the IBM BIOS for all those clones they would never be in the position they are in. yet when someone manages to reverse eng one of their specs....!
Actually I was recently informed that the "classic" POP's are now owned buy worldcomm, so you need to go through them for the most convinent sign up and access.
Global, reliable and fairly inexpensive.... there is no better way to go, they have more pop sites world wide then anyone I can think of...and they have then in places you wouldn't even expect.
The best way to handle this(or at least the best way I handled a similar situation) is to combine Robert Love's Preempt patch and Ingo's Scheduler. They will significant increase high load user performance, keeps the system from running away with itself. If your feeling really, adventuresome you could also throw in Rik's Rmap VM...I have done very little testing with it, but I hear alot of reports that it helps. there are all available in the authors respective directories on Kernel.org riel,rml,mingo
I tried to send mail to a friend of mine last week, Yohoo appearently has something to do with his domain(I think they host it for him in some way)...anyway my mail bounced for no apparent reason....

The PTO really needs to stop granting patents on common sense ideas...
The whole on click thing, common sense, its patent that should never have been granted.
Downloading music samples, makes sense to deliver samples of songs to users, it would seem as connections got faster, that this would begin to happen more and more. Common sense...
Don't even get me started on the BT thing...again it makes sense that users would need to get from point A to Point B on a computer its a dumb patent.
I have always maintained that the Sci-Fi channel is where great Sci-fi shows go to DIE...and I knew as soon as I heard about Stargate going there that its fate was sealed. They do have some good Original series on sci-fi, although even then they have staying power problems...however when a show makes the switch to sci-fi its all over....pity, I was actually looking forward to seeing the 6th season at the same time as everyone else, instead of a year behind like on fox...Now who knows...:
The Plextor Replex tower would be a much better way to go...it and its software are made for this sort of thing and are reasonablely cheap...about the same cost as what you are suggesting, after a quick calculation in my head..

I am curious if you read/enjoy other authors works. There are several I read that have very solidly stated that they do not, notably Terry Goodkind.
Um....he wrote the novelization of the movie, based on a short story by an entirely different author...so really the translation goes in entirely the other direction....
A really simple question...
As a writer myself I am curious how you go about writing...I read the notes you had in the in the "incarnations"(Your best in my opinion BTW) series so I guess I am looking to see if time and/or new technology has changed any of that....

I did the install changed the KDEDIR to
Everbody has one....
And this is just that one guy's Opinion....
I for One enjoy Star Wars and always will I could careless where it came from....as long as I enjoy it....
But damn i hope EP2 is better than EP1 was...
