    There ISN'T anything to do with my PDA. That is why it is sitting on the shelf. I can still buy software for 4 year old palms and CE systems...

    As I type this I am looking at the useless Agenda, one of the first Linux based PDA's.

    It is next to useless because no one supports it.

    A thin client is a client where some of the processing takes place on the client side. 3270 does this.

    If all the processing takes place on the server side it would not be a thin client, it would be a dumb terminal like the old serial terminals.

    Samba-3 is capable of acting as a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to another Samba Primary Domain Controller (PDC). A Samba-3 PDC can operate with an LDAP Account backend. The LDAP backend can be either a common master LDAP server, or a slave server. The use of a slave LDAP server has the benefit that when the master is down, clients may still be able to log onto the network. This effectively gives Samba a high degree of scalability and is an effective solution for large organizations. If you use an LDAP slave server for a PDC, you will need to ensure the master's continued availability - if the slave finds it's master down at the wrong time, you will have stability and operational problems.

    You mean corn syrup. Sugar is too expensive in the USA for use in sodas (except for areas with a large Jewish population and then only during Passover).

    I have seen some graphs that appear to show that the fat people problem really took off when a large number of products switched from sugar to corn syrup.

    I am not sure that the gmail TOS 'agreement' meats the terms of a contract. There is no physical signature involved and as for a 'digital' signature I do not remember enought about that law to know if it applies to this.

    Case in point. Longview, Texas (where a very large portion of the senior class can not read at 8th grade level) is paying over 500,000 to have artificial turf installed on the damn football field.

    It is a question of resources. Their are a lot of more serious crimes being 'overlooked' that don't get enforced. Why are copyright laws enforced with such vigor, yet white colar (Sunpoint Securities) and illegal's are give what amounts to a free pass?
