Actually, I think Sprint advertises the "most reliable", Verizon "the widest coverage", and ATT "the fastest" or something like that. Seems they are all touting something similar, just slightly different.
Good point. I don't think most people realize you don't have to sign the contract. However, you usually lsoe all the "free" goodies they are offering to sign up. If you are willing to pay up front for a cell phone, equipment, etc, you normally don't have to sign any long term contracts. It is usually best to compare how much you would pay up front to how much terminating your contract would be,
Caldera was a fantastic company to work for until they bought SCO. I was more than happy to jump ship a few weeks after the acquisition. Ransom Love was doing great things with Caldera, and the SCO purchase dragged the company down. Shortly after the acquisition, SCO employees were brought in left and right, while many Caldera employees left for other companies, huge bran drain. Coupled with the inevitable layoffs, I would have been surprised to see any pro-Linux people remaining there after a year of the Caldera/SCO merge.
I assume you mean the Verity part. Documentum can be a bit pricy for the whole suite of DiskXtender, AppXtender, and Verity, but it does work great for this purpose.
Google Postini is the service you need for message archiving. Looks a bit pricy as 1 year retention is 25 dollars per user, and up to 10 years is 45 dollars per user. If you want to host your email with Google, I would think Postini would be a necessity for legal discoveries.
I hear this suggestion a lot. However, many of us work for global companies that deal with legitimate email from these countries. We can't just reject IP blocks for countries when we have dealings in them. China and Russia are huge for international companies.
I'll second your last statement. Most bugs I find in openNMS are in the web interface. Backend code seems solid...maybe they just need to bring on a good web developer?
Can't say I have used EMC's software, but if their support is anything like their SAN or backup support, I'll pass. I have used HP SIM, solid product, but only good if you have all HP equipment and don't care about the application layer much.
I use OpenNMS as well. I actually migrated off of Nagios to OpenNMS. Tried out Zenoss and Cacti as well. While any of these are better than OpenView IMHO, I liked OpenNMS's full suite of functionality without having to pay for the 'commercial' version.
We use EMC's Documentum suite here to manage our large volumes of documents. Expensive, but works great...and integrates with Fax software, MS Exchange, etc.
Thanks for responding. So run Nessus or have a good IDS such as Snort? That becomes very a very reactive solution. That does not stop the machines from being compromised, that just attempts to clean up. You are now relying upon those signature files for your network security. You are also allowing your network to be compromised first. Your solution works, but it is still reactive and allows for machines to be compromised first before detection. I am making the assumption that this CSA software is proactive (ensures AV is up to date, ensures patches are up to date, etc.)
Considering the many posts saying the CSA is a bad idea, it raises a question. The fact that students get their Windows machines infected with every virus, trojan, and rootkit imaginable, how else shouls IT departments handle it? In the corporate world, it seems easier. However, a network of user-controller machines sounds like an administrative nightmare. For those who think the CSA is a bad idea, what are your alternatives?
Why Madden?

I admit I have not played the Madden line of games since the 90's, but I can tell you why we preferred Madden to anything else starting in 92. Madden football focused on realism in the game, above how hard you can hit (NFL Blitz) or how well you can guess the other player's play (Tecmo SuperBowl). Madden in 93-94 even allowed various play formations, and tried to mimic the sport as accurately as possible. As technology improved, the game continued with trying to portray football as real as possible. That is what drew myself and my friends into it years ago. Although many football games have tried since (the 2K series, Joe Montana football, etc.), they were already behind the curve. I think EA made their sports niche with just that...realism.
Military Humvees are made by AM General, who sold the rights to the civilian versions back in 99 to GM I believe. This won't affect the military production lines in Indiana.
Good point, it was introduced in WinXP. However, Microsoft did something that made it very unwieldy in Vista. For instance, a default install of Vista with no applications, results in a 10GB install. I have found that 5-6GB of that is just the winsxs folder. The folder then grows as you install applications. I think I recall MS mentioning that the winsxs is handled better in Win7, but I admittedly have not checked that out in RC1 yet.
Yes, the process is better. Our issues are more the size of the images. Vista does not compress into a wim file very well. Create a wim file of Vista with no applications loaded...it will still be ~5GB.

Not often I see a signature so related to the post...

You forgot to substract operating expenses (payroll, data centers, facilities, bills, etc.). Try this:
(revenue - expenses) = profit
I guess all those violent gangs in Venezuela are addicted to video games.
Addicted to Grand Theft Auto?

Looking at the posts...seems we did "out" a lot of people who work in the intel community on Slashdot...
