Five years ago the MegaCorp I worked for at the time was just beginning a merger with another MegaCorp. At that time we had almost completed our Win3.11->Win NT4 migration. The other company had gone from Netware/Win3.11 to Netware/Win95.
The PHB's at the other company spent a large amount of time and energy lobbying our CIO to go with Netware for everyone. One of their key points was the fact that Gartner had stated in several research papers about that time that Netware was going to be around for quite sometime and was a viable long term technology strategy for the corporate IT environment.
Riiiiight.

Exactly so.
But I do kind of winder why/boot is 99M. I generally set boot at 30M at the most and have never come close to running out of room with 5 or 6 test kernels in there....
The anon admins that run SPEWS should simply do what they told us to do when we were unfairly blacklisted due to an alleged spammer on a class C eight class C blocks away from ours - Just change ISP's or IP blocks.
What's that? It's a huge PITA that would be highly disruptive to your business? Well maybe the DDOSers have a newgroup you can post to and be either a) ignored or b) ridiculed.
Looks like SPEWS is 'collateral damage' in the spam war. Yeah, sucks doesn't it.
I sent repeated emails to Corel and to Lotus/IBM begging them to port their respective office suites to Linux, but without success. At the time StarOffice sucked arse (v6? v7?), when it was still using that horrid all-in-one interface.
Had they released ports of Word Perfect, Quattro Pro, and Presentations as an office suite they could have easily dominated the Linux office suite market space.
Most of the people I knew and worked with in the Linux community at that time would have gladly paid a few hundred dollars for a decent native word processor, spreadsheet, and prentation app that could read and write MS formats well.
Um, excuse me but the people I'm decended from, the Sami (Lapplanders), have been inhabiting those areas for at least since 400 A.D. When I go to visit my cousins they seem perfectly adapted to the -40C winters, why wouldn't they have adapted to different light/dark cycles as well?
Over the last few years suicide rates have increased among the young, but according to some it's more due to loss of cultural identity than 'long dark nights'.
The Danish and Japanese have a higher suicide rate per capita, so I doubt it has anything to do with adaping to long dark and light periods.
Explain to me; why is automatically necessary to use violence every now and then?
It's not automatic, but unfortunately sometimes necessary because people in power almost never want to give it up voluntarily. Furthermore they will do the most unethical things to hold onto it. Committing election fraud, harsh prison sentences for dissidents, the slow erosion of rights (free speech, speedy trial, the right to be confronted by your accuser, not being held without charges filed, the right to see a lawyer, etc etc).
You know, all those things that we used to accuse the communists of. And we supported the forceful overthrow of those communist regimes any way we could in the name of Democracy. If we've lost our Democracy shouldn't the people that *are* this country, the people that are the *rightful owners* of this country be allowed to take it back by any means necessary? Just like the US Gov't advocates in other countries all over the world.
the site caught the ire of the FBI for advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government.
Let's see what Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers on this nation, had to say about the subject.
"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." Letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787.
" . . . forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. . . . And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. . . . The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Letter to William Stephens Smith, Nov. 13, 1787.
It's already so easy to counterfit U.S. money, using Xerox printers.
Ahem, where exactly are you going to get the paper to print it on? US currency paper has a special cotton content that you can't get in the states, even by special order. And what about the "security stripe"? Nope, sorry.
Why oh why would you post another self aggrandizing "story" from Proclus, the world famous GNU-Darwin troll. I am not, in any respect, advocating censoring the irritant but for God sakes man don't encourage him either.
Proclus is nothing more than a Stallman-bot wannabe. If he was really serious about furthering Darwin he'd abandon GNU-Darwin and contribute his efforts to the OpenDarwin project.
Um...They already have, it's called Apple Works. No port to Win or Lin, but Apple gives it away with many Macs and it handles MS docs just fine thank you.
I suppose what's more surprising is that 1) you seem to be proud of the fact that you're functionally illiterate and 2) from your ID number you've been around/. for around four years - plenty of time to take some English night classes.
I think it's very sad that you're obviously aware of the problem but do nothing to handle it.
Well, thank you for your post. Personally I think he's a spoiled child badly in need of a spanking.
you answer yourself, pumping your post count up
I always make it a point to mod any post by Proclus -1 Troll whenever possible for just this reason. If more folks did this he would eventually go somewhere else.
I worked for a vertical market ISP that was reselling UUNet/WorldCom. And I can tell you for a fact that SPEWS is not in fact "reasonable". They blocked the entire subnet that we had 8 ip's on because *one* user on another segment of the subnet sent out spam. Their response was 'too bad, handle it with UUNet, not our problem'.
We had nothing to do with sending spam or any spammers, we we're just deemed 'collateral damage'. We eventually had to change subnets which cost us time and money. Was this fair?
Java may be great on the server side, but it's a waste of time on the client side
Um, I think you have this exactly backwards. The whole point of Java is to be able to run the same code on multiple platforms. Personally I run a number of tools and apps on both Linux and OSX, including a wifi config tool and jEdit.
Why on earth would you ever write a server app in Java? Once a server app in put into production you are *never* going to migrate to another platform probably 99% of the time. While development may be somewhat faster it is clearly not worth the performance penalty (which is significant in most cases), with the possible exception of small/low-load apps.
If you disagree reply, don't just mod down./. seems to be rife with "We demand the freemod of speech, the freedom to write code, the freedom to choose. Except when it comes to religion"
What a fucking troll. Read your own damn links. Reed Slatkin is an individual and does not represent the mass or body of his religion. Nor does he control it, it's actions, or it's policies.
It's like saying that the Protestants are trying to take over the world simply because the highest levels of the US gov't are 99% Protestant. Or the fact that the only US President in the 20th century that *wasn't* a Freemason was JFK, so the Freemasons must have some fiendish plot to control the world.
Way back in the day when I finally dumped FVWM, I switched to E13 and it seriously changed the way way I thought of computers and GUI design. At the time it was a huge leap forward. Since that time elements of the E style have crept into several other platforms and UI styles, which is a good thing.
Over a year ago I was just plain sick and tired of waiting for E17 (don't go off on the 'you should contribute' thing because they won't let you) and decided to check out OSX. I switched within a week. OSX is not as slick as E, and I still miss the glory days of E13-E15 when there was a very large and very active E theming community.
At this point I think that Raster has pretty much killed off any real enthusiasm for E by delaying even a beta release for so long and in much the same way the E themers were killed off - "No wait, it's better if we do it this way. No, nevermind. Let's change the interface again. It'll be really better this time. Ok, now we're going to completely change the theme format, but it's much better this way, really".
Pick formats, methods, etc and go forward. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work. Release early and often.
So, at this point who cares really? E is dead. Long live OSX.
The company is Executive Software, in Glendale, CA. Diskeeper is the product.
Does this mean that the German govt won't buy software from companies that are run by Jews? How about Hindus? What about B'hais. And I suppose Mormons are out of the question. Exactly which religions do the German govt find acceptable to do business with I wonder?

Im in charge of keeping production servers up to date. Im using a 2.4.20-rc7.
Dude you are *so* fired. What in the world possessed you to use an RC kernel in prod? Are you that foolish or that bored?
I have public servers running 2.2.20 that have been up for months and months and months. There's no *reason* to upgrade kernel.
You really should be fired. Or quit and find a new line of work. Really.
