Good Luck. I have faced this my entire tech life. There are lots of business using OpenSource products and I've made all the arguments. It's often about the back room business agreements "business partners" then any tech. For example, Hertz Car Rental buys IBM and Cisco because they use Hertz cars almost exclusively. You can't fight this.
Garner say 85 percent of companies are already using open source. In this day in age, if you companies is not using OS, they are a dinosaur.
If this hold true and only 10 seconds are covered under fare use, what keeps them from charging you with 11 fines on a two minute song? (The first ten sec are free).
I gave up using these filters. My son show me not only could he bypass it easy but he could reverse the filter and use it as a source of good sites to go to.
I was in Wal*Mart in Northwest Oklahoma City. I had my memory stick in my hand and had already printed a few photos on the Kodak express print system they had when the lady, nicely, told me "These photos look like professional Photos. I'll need a release before you can purchase them."
The photos in question where 100+ years old. Old family photos that I had carefully copied with my digital camera.
I told the lady what they where and she insisted I would need a release. I ask "How can I get a release from a photographer that is dead for photos that the copyright ran out on years ago?"
She then told me I could get a release from a local professional photographer. I ask her why a they would do that if they are not their photos?
She then said "You need a release." I replied "How exactly do I do that? Do you have a form?"
"Yes" she replied "or you can get it on letterhead".
What the lady didn't know was I was a professional Photographer for many years. So I ask here for her form. She have me a nice pamphlet and I started filling it out. She said "You can't fill that out, a proffessional need to fill it out."
I then informed her I was a Professional Photographer. She smiled and said "I can't take your order."
I then ask for the store manager. It took some time but he did show and I she and I both told him the storie.
He told here to take my order and I finished filling out the form.
The only thing required on the form was my name and a signture. They did not verify it.
I printed my pictures.
My wife was very upset with me for doing this. However my father (an lawer) laffed.
Have someone give you a buck for a photo. You too are then a profossional photographer.
I work for a large car rental company with hundreds of Linux system running their e-comm systems. We started with the RedHat Network system. It worked ok and we where able to keep our servers "Up2Date". But this is a poor solution for workstations. It doesn't keep a good inventory and the licensing is a BIG hassle. You can also not add your own "packages" to the management process.
While still useing the RedHat network. I built our own YUM repository and reporting system. This was very secsessfull. Systems, including desktops where keeped updated well and I was able to keep an inventory of the RPMs and File exceptons on each system. Reporting was a bit ruff but it was in the work. This sort of hand rolled system was working well but management doesn't lile "hand rolled" work so we perchased ZenWorks as a recomendation of IBM.
I have been trying to get Zenworks 6 and 6.6 working for months now with little results. The installation was very ruff because the documenation is just brain damaged. Novel messed up the purchase and we went three months with no support.
I have support now and the support personal are trying their best but I can tell they are trying to make a silk bag out of a pigs ear.:-) System are not getting updated at all now. This system Hertz so much I've all but given up. Maybe version 7 will be better.
ZenWorks does support you creating your own channels. But like the RHN, reporting is bad. I tryed to figure out the database structure (Postgress) and write my own reports in Perl with limited sucksess.
NO - Not fewer Features - Less trainning. I use Linux as my Desktop and I have for years. I am a Unix admin. and a Linux Desktop makes me MUCH more productive. I use Open Office and Crossover Office for Lotus Notes as a way to interface with my co-workers. This is not Linux Desktops falt. If the company would standardize on other product the few places where there are problems would go away. And the company would not having problems with viruses and malware.
Actually yes. Java is the COBOL of the new century. Companies are converting almost everything into Java. They hire new unexperenced programmers full of "know better" and have old managers who think objects are things sitting on their desk.
I'm a systems / internet admin for top 100 company and I've heard "Java can't have memory leeks". The JVM has been known to leek and Java is a language. It is defined by the code your wight. When zit faced programmers get lost in their own objects and forget to close a parameter file or serialize objects that never get passed on you have a leak. Call it code and not Java if you want. The system is one its way down.
OH, and "add more ram" is allways what the programs way too.
The first six channels for WiFi are in a amature radio band. If a user operates their "radio" in complience with part 47 of the FCC rules the university will have even less ability to rule over it's use.
If a student connects to the university from say AOL how is this different from a student connects to the university through the Amature Radio net (HM) (44.0.0.0). Even if the HM is one side of a Linux box and the university is another?
The FCC provides me a privelage to use amature radio devices as a part of federal law. Unless the university wants to icolate itself from the enitre internet they can not punish a student for their method of access unless a direct aggrement (contract) has been created between the student and university about this matter.
As more and more IP laws become more like trade secrets laws how can libraries continue to provide free public access?
Why are there no Internet lending libraries? A internet sight that lowns it's digital property to one person at a time. You could receive a digital library card (Public key?) and check out the Matalica song you want to hear. After playing it would be checked back in.
If the librarie owned more then one licensed copy, more then one person could check out the same sound, movie, book, audio book, and so on.
Many IP objects are no longer sold they are licensed for the users use. This use right is not transferable. How to libraries get around this?
I'm one of those "Wizards". My first computer was a 4004. All I had was assembler. Today my resume reads "And me the right chips and I'll hand you back a general ledger."
After owning my own computer company several years creating ZDOS (an OS) for Micronics Systems. I went to work for someone else and I was shocked to learn how little the programmers know about the systems they wrote for.
I think besides learning assembler real programmers should design, or at least interface, a little hardware.

Thanks Dude - I've been wanting to spider my company for some time. With this and a little work from the book. I'm going to create a realy simple page of pages. I bet I find some real dirt.
The have email guys working on a opt-out database, the web developers working on an opt-out webpage, every employee must add their name, title, work address and phone number as a footer to every email.
They want this all done by Jan 1st. Not such a big deal. We run a Linux / sendmail email system. The point is they are taking this new law very seriously. So serious they are talking about an employee agreement that will make the employees responsible for spam.
I know this will never work. The web programmers don't have a clue. On the opt-out page you can just put in any email address you want. No cross check. I wounder how long it will take for our compeditors to opt-out all of our customers.
Because they are an OpenSource company and because their price is very competitive I will be buying a Tivo for xmas.
I also think, everyone who cares that they are OpenSource should let them know. I plan to write in large ornge marker accross they registeration card. BECAUSE YOU ARE OPENSOURCE!
Your nevi if you think AIX doesn't have any security issues.
I had a IBM security teem in my office last year. It took one guy five minutes to root our production system.
I believe most exploitable code goes un-patched and un-announced and is simply slipped in to updates. This is what my company does with it's code and what companies who I have worked for in the past have done. So older version go un-patched and remain exposed.
So I purchased it. And so far I'm very un-satisfied.
Big probem! - It requires a network connection (witch I have) and validates your info (email address) as a requirement for the network install. I've sniffed the protocol (https and ftp) and don' see any connection probelms.
The installer connects but refuses to install! They don't provide phone support and they answer their email very slowly.
This companie requiers to much intelechual propertiy security to be worth it. I think they may be spy for Microsoft or something.
To become a member you mail a CD to the place. They then rip it if they don't already have a copy ripped and make another copy avaible for check out. Only one person can play a CD or song at a time. (Computers are wounderfull).
If the music guys realy get hinky you retire a CD after so many plays just like a real CD so the only difference between this and a real lending library is electronic distribution.
