You want to wear eye protection, as the broken glass explodes with pretty good force, enough to break the skin of the students sitting in the front row. Then, the chemistry teacher gets fired.
It's not a rationalization, it's a definition. That's like accusing someone of murder when they exceeded the speed limit, and berating them when they disagree. Both are wrong, but one is crime they committed, the other is a crime they did not commit.
I don't think he's the idiot of which you speak. I doubt the poster has much ability to directly influence lawmaking. You'd find it much more effecient to examine this body called "congress" for individuals that think of the constitution in a way inconsistent with its wording.
The problem is that the nodes seem to need to be in contact with each other, eg, one NIC per node, and you must be on the same channel as all the other nodes. While certainly useful, it seems to require a relatively high density.
http://www.houstonwireless.org/ and http://www.seattlewireless.org/ appear to be working on systems that work better in multihomed intelligently routed (well, assigned by a person and not guessed at by a machine - which is better may be up for debate) environments. Much less density is required in these types of situations, but near-universal is definately not guaranteed.
I'd like to see first, if this system can support multiple wireless nics, and second, how it behaves in a large scale setting. Second B, how does it work if you have a few directional antennae pointed at each other? The way most meshes appear to get around this is to set client-serving nodes in AP mode, and use ad-hoc for directional (routing) links.
Um, your point proves the bit about the abstraction layer. Win2k has a separate subsystem to generate an RDP environment. The console uses the direct device meta-interface, so you can't use RDP to connect to the console. WinXP however lets you connect directly the console with RDP (eg shadowing). I admin terminal servers (but not metaframe). I'm kinda familiar with this.
How the hell did this fud get modded up to +5? This is complete garbage.
You're looking at this like a typical office nightmare, the geek wannabe that knows just enough to be difficult. You only see two differences on your desktop, and decide to proclaim loud and long that this is the only difference. Idiot.
The console interface backend is completely different. I mean totally. Through NT5.0, the GDI had a direct interface to console display hardware. Now it's all abstracted through an RDP pipe. This is what allows you to connect directly to the console remotely with an RDP client. It also lets you have sound, printers, etc, on the same client. You can skin it. Sure you can do this with PCAW or VNC, but they are MUCH slower and not as flexible.
What the HELL do you mean that you can't lock a workstation? Maybe you forgot how to? I do it dozens of times a day. Perhaps I can teach you with my next round of primary school students? Killing explorer is hard? Eh? Just the same. The only way it can bring down a workstation is if you have some garbageware or bad video driver installed. Doesn't sound like MS's problem to me (either they'll make it more secure and people will whine about monopolistic practices and taking everything over, or they open it up more and people blame them for third party crap they choose to install).
People like you make me wish there was some sort of basic internet usage license. Sigh.
It's FUD because that's an option set by the user. If you like, you can edit your winnt.sif to have an administrator password set by default (but still allow the user to select other options like normal - it will even reversably-encrypt this password so it's not apparent on casual inspection).
Why not just set a script that logs into machines with blank admin passwords and either sets something to notify the users, or just changes it? Post notices saying that if your admin password was blank, it was helpfully changed by IS staff and you can get it back by calling them (or something like that).
My point is, don't blame MS because a user aquired a network operating system and doesn't know how to use it.
Eh, sounds like you need an admin that knows what he's doing. I administer a lab that's used by doctors (read: no computer knowledge). Office installs features on demand without any input required. You can configure outlook to your heart's content. Each computer has an assigned printer, but users can connect to any printer they're allowed access to by themselves.
The legacy/proprietary app thing is not my problem. Legacy, easy, it wasn't made for a modern OS. Maybe it still makes the API calls right but they didn't understand the way the security framework was going. The proprietary issues are because you hire stupid software developers. Use the API or environmental variables to locate paths instead of hardcoding "c:\winnt\blah". Don't expect write access to anything in \bin. In short, use skills that aren't five years out of date.
This is no good. I just got a spam from ATI this morning. I emailed them back (it was an @ati.com address) and said I hate spam, and I'll make sure to purchase my next card from nvidia.
Well, if you leave your car's hood propped open, with a flashing blue light on top of it. Or if you prominently display your house with open doors (commonly known as an "open house", at least in america, they're kept near the entrance to new neighborhoods, specifically so people can come in and examine the workmanship and . . . architecture).
Reminds me of those old computer games where they had a book of "paragraphs" 'cause there wasn't enough room to hold dialog too. To prevent you from reading the whole thing and knowing what to do in the game, they put in some really whack, or just completely wrong stuff. I liked it.:)
They don't work on my system. Any way, I'm looking for information, not flashy "content". If you don't want to give me information, I don't want to see what you have any way.
I clicked on the link, to see it, figuring that it wouldn't hurt it TOO bad this early. Nope. Well, the first row of pictures loaded up fine, but then it started getting slower and slower . ..I could almost feel the heat of the server melting on my face. The last two pictures have now died. And google has no cache, even if it would help. Sigh.
I have to at least think of the artist on this one. How would you feel if someone took your hard work and used it for something that you may not even like, without so much as a "how do you do"? Of course I don't know how it happened, perhaps the second artist asked, or at least credited the first. And of course your point doesn't relate to the artist at all, which is exactly how the studios and cartel want it.
I think that's the key. The actual heating element in your conventional oven is probably about 2000 degrees (note I have never tested this), though the ambient temperature is more like a few hundred. Same thing with chicken and lava.

But we're not bitter at all!

This definately has promise.
I would say it, having something that works right now is better than having everything that works much later.
So where's the FUD? That sounds like the straight up truth to me. No spin, no terror, just exactly what happened. Facts.

I'd rather be in the audience. If it's work, you don't want to do it all the time.
Well, I sent the email before I read the article here. Good question though. Do you want your vendor stealing from you openly, or behind your back?

Not if you don't have a system blessed (*ahem*) by flash. I want information, not a movie.

But you do that with the intention of it being shared. Do they?

No, your post makes sense in an odd, almost perverse, meta-sensical sort of way. I think I like it.
Why don't we keep 5.25" drives and MCA buses around while we're at it? Someone might need those too.
