I'm part of that 9%...of course it's because we won't push SCO now...our plans have changed to push SUSE, RH, et al. We had been planning to push SCO's Volution mail server combo in place of exchange. Not now. Screw you Darl.
Policy...Get signed documents covering IT policy. It helps with mistakes..."I didn't know downloads could contain viruses." AND with deliberate intent...i.e. it's easier to prosecute. Procedure...equipement and software must be setup with the right mindset i.e. "Do we really need this service? Do we need it RIGHT now? What is the least privledge required to get the task accomplished?" This will go along way towards securing a network. Education...read the NSA docs, CERT too. Bugtrak is great, but wear asbestos. And educate other administrators and users. It helps.
Google for his origianl article. You'll learn that man the guy certainly has a lot of time to meddle with the XBOX it was couple of nights...he's a typical MIT grad student i.e. smarter than half of/. put together (not saying much there) AND Now if you add a dash of sex
he's got a cute sig-oth.
So... a well thought out review on SD? Say it ain't so! Regardless...the meat of the review sums what other reviews have said...most of the changes are rev bumping of utilities. A new kernel is used, which will probably break Free/SWAN, and UML. Does the freeswan break matter? People who are running firewall and or VPN boxes aren't likely to be rushing out to get an upgrade, and the same can probably be said for UML, although that is more of an issue.
For me, the biggest thing to change is the availability to take screenshots easily during the install...makes it easier to get good documentation. All in all I'll wait for 2.6.x...THAT will get my attention, sincee UML AND IPSec are in the mainline kernel.

One word...3 letters...BSA. XP might be free to home users. IF they don't give a damn about IP rights. But in the business arena, MS products HAVE to be paid for AND licensed. Because a failed license audit is like getting raped by a rabid bull.
As for the IP rights issues...I don't like MS any more than the rest, but it is their product. I'm not forced to buy it. I won't steal someone elses hard work. It's called ethics.
The srticle states that 40% of Internet traffic is Spam. And where does this statistic comec from? From Brightmail...a vendor of anti-spam software. Remember...liars, damn liars, and statisticians
Basically what is being said is it's a job. Just like any other long hour, deadline sensitive technology QA job. Besides...my college roomie could have done at least that many whilst smoking a bongload or six a day.
OK, so the patent covers elements of CVS and webdav...does anyone know of good example of prior art including dating. Since the text of the patent is kinda broad, maybe that can be used against this patent and invalidate it's usage.
A system for asset management comprised of multiple workareas, each configured to maintain a virtual copy of content as it would appear when published;
A staging area to which content is submitted from multiple work areas and where any conflicts between content can be resolved;
Branches and sub-branches (for different projects or initiatives) that contain individual workareas, staging areas, and editions which allows for massively parallel development on a single platform;
The use of a hierarchical file system and an object repository for representing and hosting content and its structure;
Virtualization of all content regardless of location as well as Web and application servers - this allows contributors to make changes "in context" of the entire site;
The combined concepts of file history, versioning, comparison, and merging as it relates to content, provide an archive of all individual changes as well as collections of changes so they can be versioned and audited.
Nothing in the old article about HDTV, but loads about working hardware, future visions, etc. And some of the comment posters do a better job of explaining the methodology than anything that the current article had posted when I made the comment.
or understood? How many current office users actually understand or apply HALF of the advanced features in the last two or three versions of Office? MS pushes a new release every 1-2 years. IT depts push a release every 2-3 years and are currently more than a FULL REV behind. And with the current release it's gonna get worse.
Users have enough trouble on a daily basis, not counting the problems with UI change from rev to rev. And it spirals downward quickly when trying to train users on NEW features. Most people don't understand the the need for non-p2p DRM. And fewer still want the hassle of trying to think about permissioning every time they creat a document.
What is really needed is respect from the employeer and expectation of responsibility from the employee.
For problems like this it's often a matter of tweaking user right in the System ploicy editor. I would think it's possible to give the user rights for a DB connect without give full admin/root rights.
to know how to stop them! I mean, knowing WHY we do it is kinda interesting, but an article that definatively tells how to end the hiccups...That would be worth a Nobel!
This is a vehicle designed for URBAN combat and survellience. Monitoring email? Sounds like TEMPEST stuff. This vehicle would be used against new threats...like domestic terrorism hmmmm? Do you want the US military performing survellience on home soil? THINK about this people instead of making kiddie toy jokes...
I was reading about Reiser4 last weekend and HR mentioned similar functionality IIRC. I would hope everyone can sees the point behind metadata...it's kinda the reason XML is considered a GOOD THING. The question is...can we shift our paradigms to use this newer model? Change is hard to effect...this would have to be adopted be a mainstream OS for this to really catch on and be widely used. (Asbestos uunderwear on!) Isn't Longhorn's new DB filesystem also supposed to offer some or aLL of this? (RTFA if you want to reply please!) MS might not be as behind the curve as we'd like to think....time will tell if this will actually be widely accepted. My.02.
I don't know about this guy, but I've had bosses I'd love to be able to give a good head bobbling smack to...seems like it would help make me a happier employee...
GNU Stallman? After all...he want's the damn acronym added top everything else. And don't stop there...Make him add it to the title of his book as well.
But seriously, is anyone other than those already converted gonna read this? Proverbialy, stop preaching to the choir. I'm afraid it's kinda like talk radio (yuck!!!) in that the callers just agree with whatever position the announcer tasks, or they don't get airtime.
Don't you mean 139...or am i getting my port number mixed again? Regardless...Closing the ports is only an option if you can get around the whole federal openness policy crap. Although the new Hipaa laws should help with clue-batting a policy maker into seeing it your way.
I'm an admin for one of the larger university's in the south, XXXXXXXXXX.edu (name changed to protect the clueless) that doesn't have a firewall. This is due to the fact it's part of a teaching hospital, and has a historical policy of openness. Last week we recieved a windows popup message across most of the campus containing preformatted SPAM text. I don't know how the formatting was done...but some one else has already started this crap.

Thanks for taking the time to respond...I'm glad to see a substantiated response. I merely am cautios about fact from parties with a vested interest.

Frankly, my dear Sir, I don't give a damn about Karma. :-P I am just sick of people having ANY excuse not to RTFA.

This has been covered here on Slashdot before. Some of the comments in the previous post are particularily informative.
Users have enough trouble on a daily basis, not counting the problems with UI change from rev to rev. And it spirals downward quickly when trying to train users on NEW features. Most people don't understand the the need for non-p2p DRM. And fewer still want the hassle of trying to think about permissioning every time they creat a document.

Just my $.02.

Or when the DON'T change something. C'mon editors...I don't mind a slow news day. I mind people acting like we the readership are stupid.
Jeezus
This might helpwith your question.
