I think your missing the point... Music companies that produce loader CD's do actually have a lower quality due to the fact they have to overcompress the signal (and no, this has nothing to do with MPEG compression) in the first place.
If the volume is set too high (there is a max limit to what CD's can store), then the fine detail can be lost in the noise.
Now that you say that, however, I would strongly recommend avoiding stored procedures and triggers in any DBMS. They are proprietary and they do nothing that is not better handled in the application logic.
Wow, never thought a database expert would say this! Paramatized stored procedures surely perform much better and more securly than injected SQL, plus leaving SQL to be optimized by your DBA and not your application programmer leaves the performance of your database in the right hands?
There are many more examples of why skype should be blocked, there are other voip clients which can be used which do not put such a high drain on your bandwith, especially if you have a large pipe.
How hypocritical, Oracle's standard response to telling them there is a bug or problem with there software is...
"Oh.."
And when asked for a patch...
"Don't know..."
Do oracle actually believe they have good support? Or am I the only one who is getting seriously stressed by there inability to support their products?
Don't forget to check out the PKI infrastructure on Novell EDir, its easy (much easier than on MS boxes in my opinion) and is essentially a no brainer in a Novell environment.
Eh? I have been using MSOffice for over 10 years, and yes it had its problems but since Office97 I would say it has been pretty reliable, and as a System/Network Engineer for a very large college I speak for thousands of users...
I am a Network/Systems Engineer for a large college and I use OfficeXP in many of our presentation and data distribution solutions for our MIS. I have also nearly 10 years of experience with this product and automate many of the functionality with other programs to a high degree. I admit, early versions where buggy but after Office 97 things went more smoothly and now I don't have any real problems.
As a network Engineer, I have not seen any users with problems as you suggest and we do have expert users so we are not just using the basic features of the software. Maybe you have an axe to grind?
Direct Drive decks do not represent as good as sound quality as belt driven decks. Vibrations from the motors on direct drive decks go through the platter and the pickup, even small vibrations are received by a good pickup. Belt driven decks do not have the same problem, the motors vibration are usually absorbed by the belt before it gets to the platter.
I think what he's saying is that under windows alot of applications invoke IE to do web based stuff, not that it's easy to change your browser to another one.
I use firefox myself, but when writing code that needs to display HTML (rendered) I will use the common ActiveX control to do that...which is IE.
It failed because (and it kills me to say this), Windows NT was a better product than Netware in just about any way imaginable
This statement is very misleading indeed. Netware was, and still is the fastest and most secure file/print server available from any vendor. When a box running NT could service 100 users, a Netware server running on the same box could easily do 5x the load.
I will concede that Netware is a crap application server, the OS isn't really up for it, but this is why Novell has gone for SUSE Linux and ported all their services accross to it.
Novell isn't about Netware anymore, and hans't been for a couple of years now. Its about its management and directory services which have been ported to most other platforms... including windows.
I must admit that it was very early in my IT career that I made this switch. Perhaps my inexperience in Netware had something to do with my opinion of it.
So you switch your core NOS without knowing why? I would have to doubt your motives here.

DRM!! Exactly! Hopefully consumers will get wize to this DRM infested crap and steer well away.
Just for all those who say Skype is ok to put on your network and net admins should chill and allow this crap..

This is silly, what about a watch?, a necklace?, a ring?, a metal button on your jeans... brain dead article.

I have worked under a few IT Related managers in my years in the industry, and hardly any of them have IT backgrounds, only managment.
:(
Is this a good thing? They stick to managing the people, his/her staff stick to managing the technology??
I know it is fustrating, but it seems to be the status quo most of the time

So Novell is suppose to support it for free then?

Why not disable hyper threading if this is an issue for your servers security? You won't lose *that* much performance.
I generally found it can have an adverse effect on our servers performance anyway.
Come on, nobody can be that dumb, can they?
I wish slashdot would dumb some of these articles down a little for the avergae guy in the street.
Unless you are joking, I'm sorry I missed it, but MAC addresses certainly are spoofable.
