It is unbelivable how many systems that novell has trashed.. I work at a school part time and novell is the bane of my exsistance. I have no idea (please give me one) of what linux uses for a central user accounts. But im sure its better then this. I use a Win2k server and all the clients have to do is check "logon to domain" under the properties for Microsoft Client. And i was told that BeOS computers can logon to these domains (tho i highly doubt it). Can "unix" clients logon to AD servers? Doesn't matter. But i hate the novell client because it has a very retro feel. All the admin utilities do not have an easy gui and do not perform very well. You cannot get things done fast. Theres more but i'll just piss myself off. My school uses macs, old novell pcs (and some new), and nothing else. All i am asking for is for a little sanity. For instance, if they don't feel that NT is secure enough (compared to their macs) then they should use linux. MacOS with at ease is so fustrating! No one likes the macs at my school, why must they torcher us? I've also seen computers (including my precious laptop) fucked up when i tried to remove the Novell Client. I will never do it again.
Ok, BeanThere. You have got it all wrong, i am 15 and that is exactly what i think and basically know. It's a fact that unless you are really good you do not make a lot of money playing footbal. Who the hell do you think pays the football players? Someone very richer who knows how to manage a business, not how to play football. It's a good message to kids because it gives them something to look forward to, and i can tell you that i am proud to be a nerd or a geek or anything they call me because it is much more fun laughing all the way to the bank then having your glory days when you were throwing a ball around and hitting people. In the "real world" suddenly teachers aren't that important anymore, nor parties, nor cheerleading or any of that sort. Sucess and smarts are, the two things that they outcasted you for.
Mark Twain once said "I kept my schooling seperate from my education" or something of that sort.
My school does a little oppressing. It forces you to do sports, computer classes are weak, they also don't count as credits either. My teacher once told me that Im going to regret not going to parties and being on the computer all day. Im not, i love it and if he has a problem good, we'll see who is lauging at the end, I will be, because i like to have fun my own way, not getting cross-eyed drunk and passing out, whats the fun and productivity of that. I get called a geek because i like computers, i got friends, i think they use me a little, some of them.
Here is how it goes -
People label you, a geek. You have restrictions, limits, borders that you can't do because you are a geek. A reputation. That restricts you, you try to break the expectations and you are opressed.
So, when they blame me for the jocks trashing of the "quiet room" because I left my book in there. I just smile, think when I am an alumni and they are kissing up to me for me to give them money, i will come to the reunion with golden rings, lots of money, and a big bright smile. Revenge is not for now, don't kill kids, it's for later, reap the memories now, use them as ammunition for later because the things that they did will come to haunt them. Smile and be proud. The band they blamed, KMFDM, is a band about being proud, standing for what you belive in, disobedience, and all the things that are opressed by society. Funny that they have a song called a drug against war.
Im sorry that this is a little misorganized but, then again, so are thoughts. Thank you very much for this input i hope that disgruntled geeks like me do not kill and put shame on our name because of this. I know, it does get hard at some times but fuck up their computer, do whatever you can. For now, use your strengths to weaken them. They do the same to you, in a world becoming increasingly involved in computers, the world gets easier for us... to CONTROL!:) See you 10 years from now, in a stretched limo, talking about which company we should by next, or what new and exciting hardware we can develop next... the limo being driven by that old football great who use to pick on you. Just keep on looking forward and smiling and hold your head up high. But, don't be arrogant and stuffy, be flamboyant and proud.

That pisses all people off!
