And then there are plenty of dishonest people around who aren't inventive enough to think this up and would jump on the bandwagon if the retailer's name was mentioned. Banks keep stuff like this quiet all the time and just improve internal security.
Some organizations with money need the power of SGI. And when it's upgrade time they just buy a new system. This isn't for the average script kiddie who likes building his own systems.
You are so right. I work for a clec that is surviving this time and picking up customers from the chapter 11's and chapter 7's. One of our switch rooms is a leased space in an industrial building and looks pretty ugly. Our datacenter for our internal network for nt and exchange is in a small room in a non-descript building. Nothing fancy. Even the testing lab where we take the potential customers to is nothing special. Just another room in a bland suite in a bland building.
I don't know about Apple, but Dell has been steadily adding enterprise solutions to it's product line. And dell even has "consultants" to come in and set up all that stuff for you or sell you a solution. No one makes money on just PC's anymore.
Well why don't the mom and pops start letting advertisers onto their networks and start stuffing their customer's mailboxes with spam? It'll bring more revenue in and make them more competative.
Maybe that's because most of the 110 companies had business plans that basically said were going to spend millions of $$$ to run a website. You need to take in more revenue than you have expenses to run a successful business. Or should the VC's just continually pour money into money losing companies? It's a common fact that 95% of all business cease operations within their first 3 years. This is nothing different.
Connecting to Morpheus or Napster and cbn.org are 2 different things. No one can sue the ISP for connecting you to cbn.org so you can pirate music and software.
Like I said in another post. Apparently he didn't get the OK from management to do that little stunt. Where I work we need the approval of the Director of IT and sometimes the VP of IT in addition to maybe some programmers just to reboot a server or install software.
If the government hires a hacker or cracker to perform his skills against a foreign enemy it's called intelligence operations or information warfare. Just like the US Government hires tens of thousands of young Americans to kill others. That's why those in the armed forces don't get charged with murder when they drop bombs.
Apparently he didn't get OK from management. Now if he didn't ask, what are they supposed to think? They have a lot of sensitive files that even the sys admins aren't supposed to look at.
What exactly was he charged with doing? While I'm not familiar with the case I know that as an employee you are paid to perform certain services for your employer and to respect their property. The employer and the law draw the line in the sand and an employee should keep any experimentation not having to do with work onto their home network. I would personally get written permission before doing anything that can be construed as illegal or suspect on my employer's network.
I work for a company that does business with ATT and once in a while in meetings with management they always say how screwed up they are. Totally different systems for everything. The poor customer service people have to look at numerous systems just to find out what the customer's problem is.
Uh, currently XP is only sold in workstation mode. You can run DNS, web server and a bunch of other servers with.net server when it ships. Some things like firewall are separate products from MS.
Most linux distros sold in stores include a firewall and other apps as part of the distro. MS could do the same thing and include ISA as part of Windows just like they started bundling IE and some other software. Maybe Red Hat is breaking the law by bundling all these apps with their linux distro?
Did I say I worked in U of Kansas? I've personally seen and managed Exchange servers with an uptime of months without reboots. So anytime I hear that someone's server keeps crashing it means bad hardware, bad admins or politics is influencing proper administration of the servers. For example management says no mailbox limits and the server crashes because it runs out of disk space.
No they are really LDAP. AD has ADSI as the communications layer, while Sun has JNDI. But it's LDAP. MS even has an LDAP browser that comes on teh win2000 CD. It's not fully standards compliant, but it's LDAP. One thing it doesn't include is anonymous browsing.
And an Exchange server does a lot more than sendmail. I know all the hardcore unix geeks think that everything past pop3 and smtp connectivity is bloat, but real users love these features. And it makes management easier. Who wants to send 50 emails to schedule a meeting when you have shared calendars and the manager can send out a tasking?
The reason MS is so successful is because the geeks who run the company realize that the product has to have features needed by real users, not the sys admin who only sends out a few text messages a day.
Some people aren't into super realistic physics. Some don't want to read a 300 page manual for a flight sim and spend weeks figuring out the flight model. They would rather just grab a joystick and start playing like in Wing Commander.
USACE is contracting most of their IT work to a company called Syntegra. I think most of the WAN is now Syntegra. And they want to start moving the admins of the local sites to syntegra and away from US government employees. I heard the annual contract is something to the tune of $350 million.

I guess web designers, bandwith, and network admins come free.
Get your poles and speak out your grievances here.

I guess then they will be just like Apple charging for OSX upgrades.

that cmdrtaco saw this with a women next to him? I bet he went to see it all alone.

Is write caching turned off on your SCSI adapter? I've seen a database corruption on Exchange, but it was easily fixed running isinteg utility.

I actually work for a clec that I'm pretty sure will survive the current massacre.
