There was at least 1 Purduced and it ran into problems with of all things guide data. Data Direct does have a policy about commerical use that means that if I take and build a myth box and sell it to you and provide support for you then you can't use there free data. If I wanted to start selling myth boxes with 1 Year support I would be talking to the copy about rebranding there service as part of my hardware sales and maybe put 1 Year of data servers into the program. After 1 Year I no longer server the equipment they can renew the service agree with me and get another year or switch to a free data service but at that point I believe it wouldn't break datadirect server requirements no support anymore from a comerical company. This looks like a 1st step to being able to sell commerical version of myth inside the us.
It time for a real world example here. I know someone who decided to test just how much gas he would save drive 55 MPH ver. 75 MPH. Filled up his tank and drive an 8 Hours trip his did reg. with the crouse crontrol set a 75MPH. Filled up his car recorded the amount of gas he used. Repeat the same trip next week filling up at the same stations only setting his cruse control to 55. Guess what he saved 1 Gallon of Gas but it took him 10 Hours to do the trip. Lets double the gas save to 2 Gallon and say that it cost $2.50 per Gallon so he save $5.00 in Gas on that trip. However he gave up 2 Hours to do that. So he got paid $2.50 per hour for driving slower. How many people do you know that will work for $2.50 an hour.
It is rather simple but not cheap. Most house are setup in a star paten at the DMark into you house. You could setup the box and run wire from you box to the demark and have lots of cut together wires. Not Pretty but Cheap. But it will require losts of FXS ports. One for each line or extension. Each Extension cost around $100.00 there are cheaper options at time and of curse alot more expenise options as well but I have been having trouble find a system for less then $75.00 per port. SIP phones are droping and you can get several models as well at around $100.00 as well. Prices are coming down as PBX/Sip Equipment becomes more used but still a fair amount of cost there. In the US there seems to be a few major reasons for moving to a home based PBX. 1) Because you can. Some people will build anything because it can be done with a price range they can afford. 2) Cheap to free Oversea calls. Local Rates inside the US just doesn't justify the cost anymore. 3) Finding value in certain options that makes the expensive worth it. Abilty for your extension to follow you anywhere. Voice mail to email. Separate out calls for your Teenager from you calls on the answering machine. Small Bussiness needs like Fax to email gateway etc.
Microsoft hasn't provided a stable API. Many Drivers from NT4.0, 2000, XP and 2003 don't work accress all NT based platforms. There answer has been to support all NT based platforms with diff. drivers for Each OS. What happens when longhorn comes out. Either the manf. has keep up with the changes of Longhorn and released updated driver for that version or doesn't support it and you can't use that device on Longhorn. I have been bitten with hardware no longer supported in new Microsoft OS more times than I care to admit. Under Linux I have a Raid Controller by a manf. that went out of bussines 10 Years ago that still works under linux today. In linux it seems once supported allwas supported.
1st if you bought a Cell phone for $50.00 then you either got a pice of plastic or you got a cell phone with the price paid partly by the cell phone provider. Most providers including Version, Cigular, AT&T will sell you a phone at full prices and let you pick your providers but that make that phone cost over $200.00. In the US at least Cell phone cost are done this way as most people wont pay $400.00 Dollars for a standard phone then sign up for $ Service from a provider. But they will signup for a $50.00 phone with $+20.00 per month cost. They hide the true cost of the phone. This is way off topic but wanted to make it clear that cell phones aren't free there is a cost to them.
10 Years ago it was Word Perfet. I Think it is a real deservice to not teach childern how to use serveral word processor and spreadsheet so that get a feel for the basics so in 10 Years when Office ZZ or openoffice 600 are given to them they wont go what the hell I am suppose to do now?
Most mail servers will attempt to deliver 4xx messages for 4 Days. Wereas most 5xx messages bounce staight out. Many RBL use 4xx messages as it provents mistakes such as the RBL from being down and not returning the info in a timely manner from bouncing usefully mail. So if you 4xx mail it can take 4 Days to find out that the message doesn't make it thought. As an admin of several mail servers I have ran into this problem more then once. I switch it down to 2 Days based on bussiness needs.
But the users are not the one's deciding who gets the mail or not. I don't trust any one RBL but I use several in spamassign to figuire out that as a group they agree that it is spam. There will alwas be mistakes in RBL as it is mantained by people and things happen that can land you on one. A comprised system that send a hell of a lot of spam before you kill it can do a lot of damage. Once on some list you never get off them. I have done a overall good job as admin for my email servers over the last year and have keep ous off most list however there are still two rbl that block ous. 1 Because our NSP is viewed by that person as being a spam provider because it didn't respond fast to problems they had. The 2nd is because prior to me getting here the was no postmaster or abuse and they black listed ous because we didn't have one. I have since fixed that but still 1 Year later on there RBL.
More likely the will leave isam as the fast and feature free DB and give you xxxx for store produceure with additional changes. or simple update inno databases to support that. So you will have both in one package and get to choice based on the needs for this project.
Yes that is true but you can't be held accountable for copys made to the work the day before the new law took effect but after the previous law was no longer in effect. In other I make 50 Copies of no longer copyrighted work today. Tommorow they make a law that puts copyrights back on that book. I hadn't broken any laws at that point. If I try and make another copy at that point I have borken the law but my and my 50 frends are fine with the original 50 copys all day long.
Its a myth problem tends to show up more when you are using the mythweb and/or have slave systems. I added a slave and my mythtv went from running 1 week without a problem with.17 to crashing ever 36 hours or so. Major anonyous. I submitted a backtrace from current CVS to see if the problem can be fixed by.18.
RH/Fedora does it for the client. But I haven't seen anything that does it for the server. I setup LDAP in my office and it was hell on earth and required learning a lot of little details to get it up and running. I think we need is a basic server that is easy to setup like setting up a domain master was in nt40. Simple is your frend. Just like Postfix is setup for basic use but if you are planing to send 100,000 email a month thought it you are going to need to change some things.
Correct but Outlook 2000 with patches from microsoft.com/office will stop letting download new mail until you remove mail and provents you from having a corrupt file in the 1st place. 2003 Lets you convert to a DB format without the 2G limit.
Try again. 1st Yea a case could be made for windows media player and a few things like that but what about office. I bought office 2000. Outlook 2000 had a bug in that if you get more 2 Gig worth of email it will crash and no alow any changes including deleting old messages. So you have to get some utils from were microsoft.com to fix they file and to provent it in the 1st place again you have to go to microsoft.com. So by proventing wine from working they are proventing my from getting import updates and bug fixes for a program I bought and paid for. So much for the free gift idea.
Read what he said. Two points. One was write a letter word pad is fine for that. The other part was open a document someone sends you. That is were it gets harder. Even across version of Office the file format isn't 100% comp. And wordpad would be not be useable unless the sender take the time to convert it to a format that is readable by wordpad and most users have trouble figuiring out how to do that.
Vipul's Razor, Pyzor work well because spamer don't make money sending a signal email to 100 users they make money sending it to a million users. If they had to create a new message every 100 users they wouldn't be able to make money. Plus systems like these say there are there to help but not cure spam problems. In other words take the spamassassin method and add it to what you already know and increase the change of catching spam and decrease your changes of catching ham.
As a former Comcast employee yes they do cap your emails. Try and send 20 Emails in less then 1 Mins sometime. You will get an error. Use to popup with people on laptops who built up email during the day and sent there when they got home.
Just like the XBox. The Xbox is a "Trusted Computer" It has DRM in the bias that requires microsoft to ok a software before it can run. Just check how many people have cracked that bios open. Once cracked you can play those DRM video and transcode them to something that can be posted on the net.
Haven't you read maybe someone will post a link to the slashdot artical on the fact that AdAware was one of the top 5 Spyware cleaners but it still only caught about half of the junk out there. Sypbot according to the study caught about 1/3. This numbers mean that both can mise large numbers of spyware/adware and that I have ran both on most machines as it helps alot.
Part of the blam for that goes to microsoft. They have been telling people the windows is so good anyone can manage them. So the people who take care of computers and networks are viewed more as a trained monkeys and are treated as such about the same as most people treat a cashier or bank teller.
Under this string sometime management doesn't listen. I recently had an issue that resulted in a network outage of almost 3 Days. Not six months ago I said that having a signal T1 convering the mail servers and web servers was an issue that could cost the company alot. It did there was a fiber cut that took almost 3 Days to fix. We the presendent of company was yell about the outage it was said it is to bad we don't have the backup T1 like we requested 3 Months ago if we had that then would could have just moved all the trafic thought that. Guess what new T1 goes live in January as well as 3 Other thing on the list of recommended changes that were said to cost too much until they found out the cost for not making the changes.
I agree things need to be documented if he is in a enviroment were people get fired for telling prof no then just document the issues and possible problems then we a breakout happens as you known it will fix the problem as fast as you can and then make sure that you do a memo outline the cause of the problem. Make sure you include cost for clean up and something like and as outlined in memo on 1/1/00 these changes will prevent it from happen in the future.
That shows that you did you best and how you sugest fixing the problem. Also make sure that the prof that cause the problem because he would follow the rules has to at least loss access to there system for a few days as you have to rebuild the system to fix the problem. I would make sure that you move all his files somewhere else on the drive so that he has to ask were to find them and makes him relize just how close he came to lossing his important data.
He was the VP of Engineering. He wasn't some engineer on the floor who complained because someone bought him a gateway instead of a Dell. Someone bought without asking if it meet the needs of his department 40 Machines that sound like they were likely underpowered and needed to be replaced within a short period of time instead of confirming they meet the departments requirements.
Yes, But when I bought my car it said in the manual that it needed an oil change every 5,000 Miles or 6 Months. It says there are certain things that need to be done to keep it in order. There is no such text in my manual for my PC. I known because I am the type of person who read slashdot that I need to do things like windows updates to keep my PC safe and running but as someone who has done tech supports for over 7 Years now many people never even known they were supose to do even that. The manual for most PC read like a TV and make it sound like all you have to do is turn on the Computer and it should just work. I blam MS and people like dell for marketing a PC like a TV and not like a car.
I have change my own oil, Check fluid & tire pressure but for the most part pay someone to do this things why. I drop a car off pick it up hours later with the new oil and pay less then $20.00 or pay $10.00 for parts and take a hour to do it myself. It not worth it to me. So someone for the most part does all this for me. I known something about car simple so I wouldn't get ripped off.
List be true when was the last time you READ the freakin' manual for a pice of software?
