I've only seen two of these so far, both times I had to dig them out of a user's CD-ROM drive. Once was out of a drive that used a caddy. The second was a tray, but it had a large slot and the cd fell through. Usually you can just use a pair of tweezers, but once I had to remove the drive and "shake" it out.
They're kinda cool, but it'd be a nightmare if all my users got them.
I use PuTTY. a win32 ssh client and have found it works great. Supports color terminals, resizable windows, multiple connections, etc. Plus it's 1 file. No.dll's and it fits on a floppy.... Click here for the home page..... jeff_C
But the advisory specifically states if the employer allows the employee to work from home, even if it's 10 minutes to finish a memo.
"If an employer is allowing it to happen, it is covered," said Charles Jeffress, the assistant secretary of labor in charge of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, . . .
One small thing you can do to help in these situations is always make your email contact info for you domains be from a different domain. Then you can change nameservers even if your domain isn't currently resolving.
MS makes a program named uptime.exe that can messure your uptime for any WinNT server with SP4 or higher. The TechNet article is Q232243 and you can download it here. Microsoft makes you register to access the page, so if you don't have the right cookie it won't work.
I've got it running on a WinNT 4.0 server with SP6 that has 86 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes, 5 seconds of uptime. Admittedly it doesn't get used for much, just a private file server for me and my fellow support people, and running RC5DES, but NT can stay up for more than 49 days.
I thought this was funny. The DVD-CCA has hired Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as their law firm in this action. Read the Disclaimer on their web site. Seems to me that if they win this case, they would have to take their own web site...

Great Book, good review...

Gates of Fire

· Score: 3
I read Gates of Fire this summer and loved it. This is definately one you can't put down once you get into it. Pressfield does a wonderful job of inventing believable characters from a period of history (ancient Greece) I've always had a hard time relating too.
His next book Tides of War is due to be published in March, and is also set in ancient Greece this time about General Alcibiades, Athens most brilliant millitary leader. His first book Legend of Bagger Vance is kind of a mystic novel about golf and life, and while good, is not in the same league as Gates of Fire.
<RANT> As for all the posts wondering how this is News for Nerds, most of us enjoy a good book, this is a good book, hence the review. It was obvious from the topic is wasn't going to be about technology, why did you click through and read it? Better yet, why did you take the time to post 'This doesn't belong on Slashdot!!'? Noone forced you to read it, noone forced you to reply, and noone voted you Editor-in-Chief of Slashdot. </RANT>
After enjoying the short story several years ago, this has been on my reading list ever since. I just started it this week, and have really enjoyed it so far.

Happy Odd Day!

I just thought of this, my mother's birthday is today, odd day, and my sister's is Febuary 2nd, even day......
I also use Strip. It's a lifesaver for remembering the 30+ passwords I've got to keep. Otherwise I'd be stuck in the old synch password game.....
Password for one system expires, pick new password, then go change 10-15 other passwords at the same time. Forget to change one, then need to use that machine, lock your account trying to remember the password you used 3 cycles ago.....
I lived in Beaumont for 2 years.... and it sucks! It is an east Texas city full of chemical plants and prisons. The unions are very strong and Charles Manson would win an election there if he were a democrat.
There are several law firms in town that make a good living finding marginal lawsuits from across the country and filing them in Jefferson county, especially product liability cases. The average citizen there thinks all corporations are inherently evil and want to stick it to the man.
One way to make sure NSI feels some pressure to fix this is for whoever managed to get microsoft, IBM, ford, gm, etc. to send an email to the real administrative contact listed in the whois database an email from this free account. Just make sure in the email that you copy the original email, and explain why this was such a bad idea.
I just need to comment from a Christian perspective.
First, I disagree with removing evolution from the curriculum. I do not see where evolution and God are diametrically opposed. To me Genesis chapters 1 and 2:1-3 have always been an allegory for actions God took,(creation), that are beyond my understanding. The same way infinity, eternity, omniscience, and omnipresence are bigger than my mind's ability to wrap itself around. In short, I can reconcile my faith and science. (I struggle, but my solution is not "Bury your head in the sand.")
What bugs me is the type of arguments that I'm seeing made in this discussion. Emotional attacks (I was scarred for life by my Christian parents!), stereotypes (All Christians agree with this action!), and insults (All Christians believe in strict Creationism, and therefore must be stupid!).
Belive it or not, there are many intelligent Christians out there, and some (gasp!!) might be more intelligent than you (there are plenty smarter than me). Before attacking their beliefs, character, intelligence, etc., you might want to read what they have to say. I'd suggest starting with Reasons to Believe.
You might find some provocative arguments to research further.
I've wondered about the same thing. Many companies donate computer equipments to schools and non-profit groups, but there is a serious lack of affordable support. How hard would it be to organize free, once a week support for computers in schools? Schedule it so that it everybody does it one saturday morning a month, go in for 4-5 hours and do desktop and network support, next week it's someone else's turn. As for the legal issues, it's up to the local school district to set their policies regarding internet access, filters, OS choices, etc. I'm interested in helping kids, not advocacy. If that's your priority, do it in the voting booth and at your school board meetings. Anyone who wants to try this in Houston, TX drop me an email.
This will actually be a Good Thing(TM). The natural gas markets are designed to promote efficient use of the gas pipelines between markets, combined with an open market where consumers get to choose who they buy gas from, this leads to lower prices for consumers.
Just like you don't have to call the power company or gas company because a winter storm is coming and you will use more gas than normal, you won't have to call your ISP and order more bandwidth.
However, national network providers will be able to make more efficient use of their bandwidth by buying or selling from their competitors to make up daily shortfalls or excesses.
There seems to be some confusion.... This is the Q3Test, a beta version id releases to test the graphics engine. Just like the QTest they released before the original Quake.
Compaq has been over engineering their products for years now. It's great for the server products, but for the desktops it has been their downfall. They are usually at least three months behind in introducing new products compared to Dell this means they lose the early high profit from new processors and such. Their market share in the corporate world has been shrinking because Dell's service is better and cheaper. I hope they get back on track, but a major change is needed.
(I've worked in one Compaq shop and two Dell shops. The difference is unbelievable. In large enviroments supporting Compaq desktops is a pain in the ass.)

Yea but can you imagine if Microsoft had continued down that line Windows 95 then Windows 98 then . . . Windows 00 ?

Sure there's lots of good documentation, but there's some that should have never written.

To clarify what was brought up earlier. Compaq reverse engineered the BIOS of IBM PC's to make a compatible product. The BIOS is software.
