  2. Walmart runs OpenStack on Walmart Open Sources Its Cloud Platform To Take On Amazon (walmartlabs.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Walmart runs OpenStack (as can be seen here: https://www.openstack.org/summ... ). It will be interesting what they want to open source, maybe they have built a management layer on top of OpenStack or even their own "distribution".

  3. Re: Logistics too expensive on New York City Considers Articulated Subway Cars · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The subway operators in Berlin have decided for these long trains beacuse the manual labour and logistics needed to extend or shorten trains during the day is more expensive than just letting them roll.

    Berlin/Germany had a tube based system for letters and postcards that extended to 400km in 1940.
    It connected 79 post offices in the city and transported 8 million mailings yearly.

  7. IPv6 Autoconf & DHCPv6 on Vint Cerf Answers Your Questions About IPv6 and More · · Score: 1

    I am missing a question and an answer: Why is IPv6 autoconf missing such basic features as providing information about DNS servers?
    Or the other way round: why did nobody think about central management stuff that DHCPv4 provides in corporate networks? DHCPv6 is nowhere even barely usable.

    What Blackberry does have is the best mobile messaging platform, by far. Great management tools, great encryption, great integration with existing IT infrastructure. Great integration into MS Exchange maybe. But try to integrate BlackBerries into an IMAP/SMTP shop.

  11. Simpler Script in Python on Automate Spamcop Submissions · · Score: 1
    Hi!

    I made a simpler script in Python that does basically half of the job.
    You have to submit the SPAM manually and then pipe the Spamcop reply through it.
    Use at your own risk etc. pp.

  12. Submitting SPAM to spamcop on Comcast Port 25 Blocks Result In Less Spam · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have written a little python script that does the job of confirming SPAM for me. I would have posted it here but the /. junk character filter was catching on the python syntax. ;-)

    If anybody is interested I may publish it on a website.

  16. Re:Error Message on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 1

    Hm, that's right. But the error message may be not more verbose because lilo does not have enough space in the boot record to store a message explaining the error.

    Well, good thing you have a bootdisk / bootcd of the distribution of your choice as a rescue system. Or use Knoppix...

  18. Re:Error Message on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 3, Informative

    But then you just have a look at the lilo manual and see:

    LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
    loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
    geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
    installer.

    and

    0x01 "Illegal command". This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it may
    indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the
    BIOS. See also "Warning: BIOS drive 0x may not be accessible"
    in section "Warnings".

  25. Standard Customized Profile on Rolling Out Mozilla in an Organization? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We are currently deploying Mozilla 1.2.1 to our employees using a standard profile template filled with user specific values read from our LDAP system. This takes the hassle of configuration away from the user at the desktops and guarantees that he has a working profile the first time he launches Mozilla.

    We had to manually edit the registry.dat file of the default Mozilla installation to point to the preconfigured profile in the user's home directory (drive H: on windows). We basically eliminated the random string in the profile path which is included for "security reasons" but makes automated profile generation very hard.

    No we have a neat little script doing an sed over the profile template. With that we are able to generate user profiles in a second.

    The binaries are distributed using "PC Updater", a package tool for windows. The packages includes the modified registry.dat file in c:\windows\application data\mozilla for win98. For W2K we put this registry.dat file into the user's roaming profile directory "application data\mozilla".
