My dad, a very smart well educated man, MBA,PHD. Told me when I was about 11 that the day was comming that there would be 2 classes of people,those that know computers and those that do not. I did not want to be on the wrong side, so I got a Vic20 and started learning basic. It seems that he was not too far off the mark and the rift is widening all the time. What to do about the know nots? I dont know, I have enuff or a time keeping up myself. I find that I too must hone in on a little sector of MIS and be that best I can in my chosen space.
Roman's Tech was its Legions. They could crush anyone or anybody and they would from time to time kill off entire towns to prove the point. All the other improvements were just to better the bottom line for Rome.
It is all about service not software. A SOHO can buy NT, W2K, or Linux and to him it is just as usefull as a brick. Even the magic outta the box solutions take some work to intergrate. The person that can set those systems up and make them jump and do tricks for them is were the value is. It is really the customers choice as to what type of license his software is under and the fact they have a choice at all. To most I think, the license is just an after thought. They just want to get their work done and are happy to pay so long as it does not cut into the bottom line.
"he only reason those viruses target Windows and Outlook is that there's a lot of people running that software"
I don't buy that for a second. It is the FACT this it is so easy to exploit. Don't give me that crap...wine wine, but it's the biggest target blah blah fooie.
On another note, take a look at the Fire Arm Industry in America, They are sure putting alot of blame on them for the safety of their products.
I really don't see the big deal here at all. I mean I can turn on MVT and hear the song, I turn on the Radio, I hear the song. I play an MP3 file of the song, I hear the song. It's not like the common MP3 collector is using the songs to do anything more then listen to them. Were is the harm in that? Artists should make money from concerts, product endorsements and licensing the music for Ad's and Movies not royalities. You are telling me that people hearing the Songs from a place other then ten places I hear it everyday is hurting your bottom line ? Get real, go cry to your millionaire buddies because most pay check to pay check people don't give a rat ass about you losing out on another million. Most Artist, like people to hear their music, I would hope that is why they got in to business. But, "The Music Industry" has nothing to do with Art or Talent, it is all Marketing and Exploitation, and It alway has been. The World will be a better place when They are gone or have no one left to exploit. A reality that I am sure they see, understand and are scared to death of.
That is not the point. I for one am pissed that they SPENT my TAX MONEY at MIT making Kerberos and MSFT takes OUR STUFF that WE FUNDED,CHANGED IT and called it their own. THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT. If nothing less the FEDS should MANDATE that MSFT stop calling it Kerberos or Pay back the grant and release the specs.
And you must be that lawyer ? Great, write up a class action suite aginst MSFT for the nonrefund issue. I am sure that you kind find all kinds of documentation about it on the web. I would be most happy to sign up.
One more about EULA's. Do we remember the big MS refund day. MSFT did not honor their own EULA, with respect to the return of its software. IANAL, but this seem to call the whole EULA thing into questions, How can a company selectively inforce an EULA, it must be either all valid or all invalid. You can't have it both ways. I think some one should call MSFT on that one, and get all MSFT's EULA's regarding OS's rendered invalid. This might open the door to all kinds of fun.
One of the HUGE problems with all of this is MSFT ships products with the permission to low, wide open in fact. Do an Install of NT 4.0, and check it out. Same thing with Outlook wide open. While it is understandable why they did this, it is also the cause of all of these problems. I would wadger, that if they shiped products all locked down like some of the BSD's, you would have a smarter group of NT admins and MS enduses. They would have to go in and make the changes to their systems, and might in fact, understand the risk involved with that choice.
Sending out I LOVE YOU attachments is really the users fault, they and thier employers should be held accountable. I bet that would fix the problem real quick. This might sound extream, but if you kill someone on accident, it is still manslaughter. So if you take out someone's mail server on accident, it is still a DOS attack.
Yea, everyone knows or should know that porn is what has driven all computer innovation. Just think bandwidth, bigger harddrives, larger screens, color printers, video capture, web cams, every thing. It is all for the sake of the porn. :)
Can you Relicense under BSD -syle license ? Why not have MIT relicense KerBeros Under the GPL and have the old license revolked. Then MSFT would have to publish the changes and the Src.
"NVidia may opt to stop supporting Linux." What a bunch of crap. Let's see hum... the fastest growing OS in the WORLD bar none. Let's Stop supporting it, that will teach those dirty linux hackers. I belive you have a better chance of Bill Gates admitting that he broke the law.
I don't really care if NVidia opens up thier scr. But They had better keep up with X and Linux or the Linux users will go else where for the 3D cards.
I think that MIT should Stop MSFT from saying the WIN2K is fully Kerberos 5 compliant. This is a blatent lie and false advertisment. With the Judgement in I think only a FOOL would not see MSFT's intent with this purposefull fudging of Kerberos.
M$FT should also have to put disclaimers on their products. Such as "Warning this product was made to break Industry Standards and Lock you into using MS Products. After installing this product we will force you to upgrade every 8-12 months with a new version that does not fix all the bugs in the old version, but is twice the size and twice as expensive. At which time we will stop selling CAL's for the old version. The new version will also attemp to break more Industry Standards and limit your choices even more in an attemp to control the information of the information age." ACCEPT / RUN LIKE HELL
I have done alot of work in 3d animation and NLE,. granted not lately. This is all for Broadcast work for CA's and Promos. All footage should be shot on Sony beta cam. Here is a quick run down, this gets you a very powerful system.
Use Speed Razor Mach III or lastest release with DPS PVR cards, The system Duel PII 450 or as fast as you can get running NT 4.0 Sp4. You will need other systems for doing Animations and the like, or photoshop work. It does not hurt to have an offline workstation with Speed Razor to work out edits and previews. Of course you need a high speed network and Lots of VTR and Such, this is the expensive part.
This is much better solution that an Avid.The learning curve for any NLE package is steep, but once you are versed the render time is the only limit to what you can do.
http://www.in-sync.com/ I have been very happy with their products
You were looking at the C2 tool. It recommends you remove the POSIX and the OS2 sub systems. Dont forget to unplug your network drop and take out that floppy too.:).
Right on brother.... Think about this, there are people that learned Unix 30 years ago who's skill sets are still in demand. Try that with MSFT shit. I think not.
I dont hold any MSC paper myself and at this point in my life I never will. I will get a few LPI papers to hange in the office, I gave my input to the exams and I might have to study to get them, but I will get more mileage, and more hair out of it.
I dont want to hear any more about policy crap in NT. I just spent all day fixing a policy problem on a NT terminal server. The TS had a hung, non killable program running under the user. The only way to fix it was to reboot the server. NT....what a piece of crap.
This is one thing that people don't seem to understand. A *nix box with a full set up has all the tools you need to get ANY job done. Word Processors and Spread sheets just take those commands and package them. You Don Really Need Them, sure it will save you time but that is not the point.
Too many people are accustom to other Os's which basically have no functionality with out extra boxed applications. *nix is not just an OS, it is a fully functioning symbiotic relationship of lots of small programs, the result is a TOTAL SOLUTION unto itself.
The release dates of the Movies and Theater billings are the Movie Industries Problems. Why should I be made to suffer because they can't get their act together. It is time for them to wake up, the World is getting smaller and the rate information travels it getting faster, they need to keep up, or their market will abandon them.

Yea, you can take Linux and Zebra and make a dandy router. BGP-4, disk space for logging, add some free/swan and you have a great VPN. YMMV
