Maybe you haven't looked hard enough or in the correct places, eh?
Seriously though, one of the things that I've learned in Mexico is that people consider "impolite" to contradict you. When you think "wow, I can't believe they didn't know that", they are most likely thinking "gringo estupido, I can't believe he thinks we didn't know that". Anyway, there's tons of talent in Mexico, but you need to understand the culture or you'll end up feeling very frustrated.
I can't talk about the specific model you mention, but the zebras I worked with were far from a "generic" printer. In the sense that you either used their windows label printing software (labelview) or, if your requirements are not met, you write specific code for them even in windows. Admittedly this was 10 years ago, maybe labelview has improved or there may be other options out there.
Anyway, in 2001 I had to write code to print (a very specific type of) labels at an adjustable rate for a production line. Plus we needed to update a database associating each label with the specific article, so labelview was not enough. It ended up running on linux, but it could run on either unix or windows. I still have the ZPL manual sitting on a bookshelf at my house.
Henning Tillmann, a colleague of Oliver Kaczmarek, the SPD MP who raised the question, and a member of the SPD executive committee's web policy discussion group, told our associates at heise Open that the government's response was not satisfactory. "The reasons given for the return to Windows are implausible," says Tillmann, "We need the figures."
It sounds more like a change in IT leadership to me.
Static IP is not enough. You also need your ISP to change the reverseDNS records or else you end up on many RBLs. Unfortunately, not many ISPs are willing to do that.
Anyway, you are better off sending your email "to the cloud", contracting an SMTP relaying service or renting a VPS if you can't afford a dedicated (T1/E1) connection.
I don't know how many Tray and Mat have got, but if you think extremist Christians don't make (and carry out) death threats you are being delusional. Extremism is bad, period.
It seems from the question that for Oracle, at this point in time, the "open sourceness" of software is a tactical issue rather than a strategic one.
There are quite a few tactical arguments as to how value can be derived from the stuff that they open source but it is in the strategic level that it gets interesting. Does the commoditization of certain parts of the business software stack benefit oracle and/or hurt it's competition or not? If so, isn't driving that technology "good leverage"? is a larger number of developers/integrators exposed to oracle's products better for oracle than a small "certified" elite? Is access to a larger market of smaller companies something desirable for oracle? Are the current or potential customers turning towards open source? Will they? Will Oracle's competition eventually end up integrating their current offerings while locking Oracle out (example: Exchange Communications Server + Dynamics + SharePoint)?
Tactically, as others have pointed out selling support and services for the full solaris stack (plus directory, communications, remote access, virtualization, etc) may be profitable. There is tons of extremely cool and useful technology at sun, a well run services division should be able to turn a profit from it.
And for $DEITY's sake, don't end up closing java if you don't want a huge amount of blowback.
My bank already has this as well as several other banks. What ends up happening is that the attackers are performing the man in the middle attack in "real time". The one time token is sent to the attackers through the malicious website and they have whatever time the designers allowed for timeout to use it. After all they already have your credentials.
Medical examinations are a matter of sitting in a diagnostic chair for a minute or two, then receiving a full health report. Ultrasensitive microphones and electronic sensors in the chair's headrest, back and armrests pick up heartbeat, pulse, breathing rate, galvanic skin response, blood pressure, nerve reflexes and other medical signs. A computer attached to the chair digests these responses, compares them to the normal standard and prints out a full medical report. This one goes in your mouth, this goes in your ear, this goes in your butt... no wait, wait, THIS one goes in your mouth....
Depends on the usage. As a decision maker for a corporation I had the servers moved to Linux to cut support, security, system administration and licensing costs. On my work laptop I use it for the same reason other people use windows, I am used to it. At home I use it for the games.... all right, you caught me, It's because I am a huge geek.
It was banamex, and the worm modified the target PCs hosts file. It wasn't even sophisticated enough to hack the broadband router... just a.exe file posing to be a greeting card.
Ok, let's be pragmatic. I think w3c is trying to achieve a common ground for next gen browsers. An "at least meets these requirements" if you will. Vorbis and Theora seem to be good options for "at least". Remember, the goal is to create a standard so that the html5 enabled browsers can show the content the same way across all platforms.
I had the same reaction originally. But then, just imagine for a moment that the genetic origin of stupidity is substituted for a social/cultural origin. A society/culture that consistently rewards dumb actions while frowns uppon smart ones. The movie's point is still valid, isn't it? In that sense, the genetics part is just a vehicle for the movie to present a "how we got there" in a funny way.
Bless you, you reminded me of my first years with computers. Since I had very little access to decent reference material for my Sinclair ZX spectrum+ I had to do many things manually.
This one time I made a "memory map" by looping from the start of RAM to the end of it and peeking the decimal value + the char value of every address to find text. Afterwards I poked 255 to the addresses (after that I found the address range of the "video ram" and several other tricks). This was a hard thing to do since poking some addresses would reboot the computer and you had to start all over again from where you stopped.
I remember feeling frustrated when after poking every available byte I wasn't able to get any sound, and then realizing that there were another set of instructions for interfacing with parts of the computer (in/out). It was like the magical machine was opening up to me revealing its secrets. I love computers since then.
You don't need to modify anything with the vmware.tar.gz package if you don't want to. Just make sure the package linux-headers-[your-type-of-kernel] is installed and the headers will be updated with the kernel every time. You just need to run vmware-install.pl after every kernel update. This is the way we've been running our production systems for a year or so.
Agreed, it is a pain to reconfigure vmware every time the kernel updates, but can you afford to run an unpatched system?
No audio? That sucks. I really wanted to hear the 'whooshing' noise of the probe speeding through the moon's atmosphere! Not only that, the video is recorded in black and white...

RIAA Sues Usenet.com
·
· Score: 1
In my opinion you are venting stress at the wrong people. Usenet.com (and usenet in general) is just a way of exchanging all kinds of information. Even if the RIAA succeeds in shutting them down, your competition will find another way of obtaining their songs.
Your real problem is that your competition chose to profit from disobeying the law. It is not different from any organization that chooses not to follow sanitary, pollution, worker's rights, compensation or any other form of laws and regulations. It puts the law obeying businesses (like you) at a disadvantage.
In the IT world we face the same challenges, our competition can afford more/better hardware since they don't pay for the software. We adapted in several ways (by using Free software as much as we can for example), not by hoping that Microsoft/BSA would shutdown all the warez sites.
I am sure you will find your ways to adapt, just make sure you don't blame the wrong people in the process.
I have been following lightning's progress with real interest because I will need to implement a calendaring solution soon. Right now it is quite usable for an individual calendar, but it does not play well in teams. I tried using webdav, the result was that you don't get predictable results when two people are editing the same calendar.
It is maturing really fast indeed. The problem is, i haven't seen the "exchange replacement" it will be integrating with.
On a more serious note, not all tracking systems are inherently bad. There's an interesting story about a teenager whose parents installed a GPS tracking system into his car. Now he's going to court as the GPS record shows he wasn't speeding, unlike the police officer who wrote him a ticket. The real issue here is that the GPS unit installed in that case was under the control of the car owner.

I like alfresco because it can be quite simple to setup and get going yet very powerful if you need it to.
I used it's workflows, versioning and access controls a couple of years ago, very simple to setup and worked as advertised.
