Do you mean previously proprietary? I have a hard time believing that very many LDAP installations are non-commercial.
No, he/she means commercial. He's referring to the product, Fedora Directory Server, not an installation of said product. That Netscape Directory Server was a proprietary product before becoming FDS is irrelevant to the OPs point. Nor does commercial/non-commercial LDAP installations.
There were actually several lawsuits between the two companies which this resolves. The article briefly mentioned it, but doesn't go into deal about what those patents actually cover. It is conceivable this is for more than just the hierarchical menus, however.
Its also conceivable Apple could have spend more than $100 million in legal fees for all of this. Entering into a partnership with Creative is a better way to spend that money. TFA also says Apple could get some of that money back if Creative successfully gets other companies to license their bullshit patent.
Dtrace has already been integrated into Leopard, which I thought was pretty impressive. I imagine its not as complex as ZFS, but, I still think its quite the accomplishment.
That said, I hope ZFS makes it to Leopard. And FreeBSD.
You think it's bad on Windows? You should try it on HP-UX. Random kernel panics abound.
For awhile, ISS was using us as beta testers. They'd give us a patch to install on a customer's box to "fix" the issue. Apparently they didn't bother testing these patches, and the kernel panics continued.
Fortunately, we were able to convince most of our customers to tell ISS to go fuck themselves.
I think they're most definitely related to the replicators, we just don't know how yet.
The Asurans (Pegasus Replicators) were of the "human form" variety, which the Replicators Reese created eventually evolved into in the Milky Way.
The Atlantis team were unable to find record of the Replicators in the ancient database. Its possible the Asurans lied about being a creation of the Ancients. The Asurans could be Replicators who escaped from the Milky Way prior to being destroyed, or the original Replicators encountered by SG-1 might've began life in the Pegasus Galaxy. Hell, maybe the plague that wiped out all life in the galaxy way back when was the virus Weir was infected with.
At least Devlin has said there are serious plans for a movie sequal.
Unfortunately, they'd be throwing away the 10 years of Stargate SG-1, and making a sequel to the film. The movie was alright, but I really like the way they fleshed out the story in SG-1. Though, I guess it could be interesting to see what they do with it.
You spent seven years on MacGuyver and you can't figure this one out? We got belt buckles, and shoe laces and a piece of gum, build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud. You used to be MacGuyver, McGadget, McGimick.. no you're mister McUsseless.. Dear God, I'm stuck on a glacier with MacGuyver!
heir absence earlier was explained due to their battle with the Replicators, but they were completely defeated at the end of the 8th season, or so we're supposed to think
Well, completely defeated in the Milky Way. Looks like there were some hiding out in the Pegasus galaxy though.
Actually, Boot Camp is only the drivers and the pretty little partitioning wizard. You don't need it, it just makes things a little easier.
The firmware updates that were released along with Boot Camp are what enabled Windows XP to boot on the Mac. EFI can contain a legacy BIOS mode, which Apple hadn't enabled on the first Intel Macs. The firmware updates enabled it.
Is the Xserve RAID PPC-based? Does it even run OS X? Apple doesn't really say too much about the internals of the Xserve RAID other than how big the drives are, total storage, size of cache, etc.
I wouldn't expect a storage array like the Xserve RAID to run an OS like OS X - I think it's more likely to run some form of embedded OS. But, I really can't say forsure.
Why do they show ads during Saturday morning cartoons? The kids watching them aren't likely to do any shopping. So surely they won't make enough money to be worth it...
and information embedded in the tags could be used to manage inventory and tell robotic machinery how to bag and/or stock the items
and track your purchases and compare them against your tv viewing habits and movie rentals and when they determine you were shopping at Target instead of Wal-mart the checkout machine will have an "accident" and you'll never walk again.
I have an FVS318v3 and a WG302, both have been RMA'd twice. I haven't even bothered opening the latest units they've shipped, I figure I'd be better off ebaying them than trying to use them.
In addition, Netgear's support has got to be the worst in the industry. They repeatedly let cases close without so much as updating them (cases automatically close after 10 days). Several times they'd leave a note in the case they were escalating it to 2nd level, at which point it'd never be looked at again. Often times I'd repeatedly make updates to cases while waiting for a response, asking what was going on, and it'd be flat-out ignored.
If I can convince one person not to buy from Netgear, I'd be a happy person. If somehow I could get everyone to stop purchasing their crap.. man would that feel great:)
ITIL-compliant involves more than being being able to open tickets and use them to track issues. It should have asset-tracking, user management (ie when Joe calls to open a ticket, entering his name should immediately populate the ticket with all of his information), change management (tracking what changes were made to hardware/software when), in addition to incident and problem management (Joe can't get his email). To build a truly enterprise-ready solution on top of a wiki would take a ton of work, I'm sure.
ITIL encompasses everything from your help desk to your change management processes. I'm not very familliar with Request Tracker, but it appears to just be a ticketing system. An ITIL-compliant solution like ServiceDesk or Remedy would include methods for tracking customers, problems, change management, etc.
I'm an HP employee, and unfortunately I have to use Service Desk too (albeit a customized version, mangled for years by some team within our organization). If the product had some sense of stability, it might be half-decent. It continually crashes with JVM errors. Also, we often experience issues where the app thinks the ticket you're working on has been updated by some other user, when in fact it was you who modified it. Old versions (Old versions being relative - ours are all based on SD 4.5, however as I've said, they've been severely bastardized^Wcustomized) used to merely reload the ticket, new versions attempt to merge the data, usually losing half of it in the process.
Sadly, we don't even use the Active Directory integration. The interface for the client is pretty nice (it's based on Microsoft Outlook - I know many slashdotters will be turned off by that, but it does provide a decent interface to the ticketing system). Its also extremely customizable - all of the forms can be customized to provide the data you want to display to your users. In addition, users can create their own customizable views of the tickets in the queue. Sadly, I don't think there's any method for users to create their own customizable forms (which would be handy - we have to click at least 2 tabs on a form to close out a ticket).
If it wasn't for the instability, it would actually be pretty decent to use. Keep in mind this may just be the result of the mangling done to our version.

All the more impressive that they were able to implement Dtrace already then :) Hopefully that bodes well for ZFS support.
Microsoft is doing this to avoid federal govt problems and put on a good show. Nothing more.
Right. It couldn't have anything to do with wanting to have applications available for their fancy new OS?

Tons of possibilities

So Ben Browder is the Ted McGinley of Sci-Fi?
It makes money, just not for SciFi. The real money is in sindication, and MGM gets those dollars.

Access could be a communications program, video game, or a screen reader.
Access actually was the name of a communications program from Microsoft at one time.

Why not link directly to the article here, instead of going via some other site?

Wow, I had just the opposite reaction - I was bored out of my skull until the end.
Maybe I'm just an asshole though.

Plus, my experience with other routers leaves a lot to be desired.

At least they're not as bad as Netgear, though.
