true, but I've actually heard someone use rotfl in spoken word. It took us a few mintues to understand "rotful" was meaning she thought something was funny, and not that she thought the Jack in the Box food was particularly nasty that day...
There should be a smbmount command to do such a thing, though I do not remember, let me look...
findsmb seems to do the trick, though iirc there's a way to do so manually with smbclient or nmblookup.

More likely it'll just be the finance guy wanting to only use one vendor. Sun does make better servers than dell (generally). If you're forced to make the choice in a company, would you rather have better servers or better desktops?
No offense, but if google cannot give you a link to a website of someone that's gone through the process and given you an explination: you can't search, or it doesn't exist.
And seriously, how are you going to gain the life experience by just asking other people and not trudging through the little failures yourself?
Personally I've found that AD + win2k is more secure than XP Pro, but whatever floats yer boat. Notes itself has some other insecurity issues beyond its horrible client (though the actual server is arguably decent)
Actually, I just got away with telling my users they cannot use outlook. We were just bought out by a company that uses Notes exclusively. The users by and large accepted the change, and aren't even griping over Notes much.
The trick is of course selling the change to the PHITB (pointy haired IT boss), and their bosses, and then telling users with the line "sorry, nothing I can do, it comes down from on high"
In my experience Bynari is extremely painful to install and get working, and when you do manage to get it working, not everything works unless you do exactly what it expects you to.
Furthermore Microsoft changes Outlook every 2 years to break it.
Ximian's connector requires (iirc) exchange's web client to be running, and is for all purposes a hack to translate their client into the web form. The web form of course requires IIS and is suitably insecure.
Both things are for all purposes hacks. The German government is looking for something more integrated, and less hacked together. This still though looks as something that is simply hacked together...:/
As others have mentioned, the Bynari connector will be needed for windows access. This sucks. I mean seriously. Bynari is bad enough that nearly nobody is using even now to do groupware, HENCE THE DAMNED PROJECT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I would much rather just have a seperate application, nearly exactly like the KDE client, ported to windows. It will/would hopefully have an outlook importer (not hard, I can offer services in that regard), but it should not be outlook. If it looks and acts just like the KDE version, then it'll be much easier to move users over to *nix after they've used it elsewhere.
Well, I work for a computer security company which was just aquired after a great year of sales after 9/11. Certainly the company would still be doing well, but perhaps not quite as well if people weren't directly interested in security.
Thus 9/11 directly influenced my bank account, and likely many many other people's, albeit not in the same direction.
Though if Office stays part of microsoft, they might not be too pleased that Mac's don't support DRM, and might be inclined to pull Office from the Mac.
Maybe not a big deal, but to me (someone pondering buying a mac) that's one of the big things seperating OSX and other *nix. Perhaps I've just not used it enough.
No, but the government is allowing a known monopolist to force other companies into restricting our rights, or more accurately trying to force consumers into less control of products they've rightfully purchased (not even licensed in this case either)
While I don't have the horrible distaste for CMU, I'd like to point out that the only Masters in CS I know got his from Stanford. Much better weather, though the people are horribly aloof and boring (imo of course)
WotC has been one of the primary examples of how a company can destroy something via greed. They destroyed magic for christ's sake! The most popular, addicting thing until Everquest hit the shelves, and they killed it over greed. Surely you didn't think they could do much better with D&D, something that isn't nearly as popular or addictive?
Oddly enough, I use php for most of the stuff people use perl for: log parsing, process handling, and general scripting use. Mainly I've not had the need or time to learn perl, despite the fact it's generally nicer; more stable; and a hell of alot faster.
Actually, from what I gather MS's R&D engineers are some of the best engineers around. The actual production engineers are good as well, but nowhere near their R&D counterparts.
This might be a stupid point, but of course microsoft products aren't engineered for security. The common man doesn't buy products for security, and even now the common man largely does not understand that they could even have their functionality in a secure environment (though arguably most salesguys cannot have the functionality they demand in a secure environment, but that's another debate.)

I would agree with you to the one point. It should be illegal imo to force someone to listen to or accept any speech of any kind.
Thus people have the freedom of speech, and the freedom to not listen.
indeed, though my friends were guys that I saw 4-14 hrs a day. Granted I probably played quake with them 4-14 hours a day too...
True, the fact that at one time more people called me Tel irl than my name is perhaps more frightening :D

More importantly, the other downside is that the Quad memory will be more expensive, probably a bit more akin to ECC ram than normal SDRAM

Indeed, the very last paragraph's suggestion on how to actually make star wars make sense would be exceptionally cool.

a: Outlook
b: Win95-ME
Note: I am an NT admin in trade, and make such comments (mostly) in jest.
And this is different from today... how?
Why not just do a Hawking biography and be done with it?

Indeed, though I'd much rather use something *else* than .doc's or even *Office which is slow and cumbersome to me.
U5's are pretty cheap now though.
