Not opening the source is extremely short-sighted. On one hand, the opposition (read republicans in this case) may be able to leverage the progress of Obama's campaign developers. However, third parties would also be able to leverage this software. This would aid the third (or forth, fifth) parties to gain visibility and thus choice for the American people. Opening the code would be a net positive for those that matter; the American people.
I used remoting for some stuff, but for some reason, psexec just worked easier. Plus it was easier to specify a user on the command line. I know, I could have done it with config files but when I wanted to do just a one off dos command, it was just easier.
So, been down this EXACT road. I was doing Linux automation, was so effective was brought in to do Windows too - yea! Anyway, tried the cygwin route... It went OK, but just not quite it. Went the vbscript route for a while (pure hell), but could work with wmi and had the windows objects available.
Soon, I started writing console apps in C# to make the trickier stuff happen. The.Net framework made it all so easy.
My final set of tools came to be powershell (access to the.net framework, you can do almost anything), Systernals psexec (for running processes on remote machines), and basic vbscript.bat. I had it set up with a web interface so I could enter a dos command into a web interface and point it a machine. It would build the bat and run it on the remote machine and return the standard out. This allowed me to add IIS sites and app pools, install com components, install apps, run msunit tests, and basically do whatever I wanted to any machine on the domain. Took me a quarter to build, but worked well. I've moved on in the company, but my replacement is still using it.
According to the history channel, the world ends in 2012. The mayans predicted this, but didnt say why. Apparently, in 2012, our solar system will cross the galactic plain causing the magnetosphere flip and killing us all...
Do you watch the news? Do you really need someone to spell out every way this complete idiot has betrayed this county and squandered our treasure? I went from Republican, to registered independent because I have the capacity to think and be objective. Are you aware of the declining dollar, the astronomical national debt and completely insane trade deficit with china? Delusion only makes you think you are correct. Please, DO NOT become a democrap or a libdrool, just start thinking objectively and quit ignoring the reality this completely incompetent, criminally minded, amoral, lying, cheating, stealing, oxygen thief has created.
I believe you could be stupid or lazy if are too stupid to realize other options exist or too lazy to explore them. I am sure that accounts for a majority of IE users, and excludes all users of other browsers.
My favorite is to just have a catchall on my domain. Then when I signup for something, I use a descriptive address plus my domain. This allows me to not only get all the mail, I know who I gave it to, and who is selling/spamming. If they start to spam, I just turn it off or dev/null all mail to that address.
I think if they are making profits by enabling user generated content instead of printing the corporate line, we (the users) win. The alternative is keeping the profits and limiting users input, printing thinly veiled ads and in general being almost worthless to us. We win if we let them provide the infrastructure, keep the profits and we produce the content. We will become less dependent on meganews for our information and it truly will become fair and balanced. If in the end we can reduce the amount of people believing things that aren't in their interests, are false or otherwise misleading, and only serve those who supply the news - we truly win. The profits are a fair penance for the value.
I would rather die living, then live waiting to die.
Love and Wisdom come from experience, not from being scared to "live like an animal" every now and then. Everything in moderation, including responsibility.
You are an idiot. You miss the point entirely and missed the point of my initial post. Basically it has all gone over your head.
My point was: Do the appropriate thing in our environment because it is the right thing to do. Do not use global warming to justify responsibility. So whether or not you agree with me moron, I am suggesting that we act the same way.
I am also saying the warming trend exists, but is consistent with data before heavy fossil fuel use.
Look, up until about a week ago, I would have tried to shout down someone saying the same thing I did. I found if you look at the data - not at a movie or a model but at the REAL data, you will see what I am saying is true.
As far as the elephant tail analogy goes, you missed the point there as well my uninformed friend. Can you tell how many legs an elephant has by looking at it's tail? The size of it's ears? That it has tusks? What it eats? Where it lives? How much it weighs? What sex it is?
Don't be so quick to dismiss, do some homework first - you aren't talking to some ditto-head Bushie.
That was my point. Deriving anything based on the last hundred years when the earth is 4.5 Billion years old makes no sense. Look at temperatures and co2 levels on geological time scales and you would see that global warming is a red herring. Looking at trends over the last hundred years and coming up with Global Warming is like describing an elephant by looking only at its tail. You simply need more information.
I have always thought of myself as a dirty liberal. I'm a registered independent but find myself identifying with the left. My stance has been you have a social responsibility if you belong to society. I have also always believed in leaving the smallest footprint possible, clean air - I even have a green peace sign tattoo.
Having said that, I would not justify my sense of social responsibility and desire to have a clean enviroment based on the warming of the earth. Global Warming is irrelevant with this regard and frankly not as it seems. Ianac, but if you look at *actual* data and past trends on geological time scales, the argument for it seems pretty thin - thinner than those against it.
Unreasonable men bring progress, so thanks for the compliment. Sadly you don't see the merit in progress. Even more sad is the fact you seem to embrace regression. I guess that is why you were trolled twice and were left reaching for insults.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw
It is a troll you idiot, and any idiot suggesting GBS meant we should be complacent is wrong. I do not believe that it is a hippy mantra, but then again I wouldn't know. I do know you have no idea what you are talking about and used the sig as a platform for some rambling rant.
Believe it or not, South Park had an insightful take on this matter: Kenny said in his will to NEVER put him on national TV if he was in a vegatative state - respect the patient. The "Save Kenny" people said it was playing God to allow Kenny to die by removing his tube. The "Let Kenny Die" people suggested the doctors were playing God by inserting the tube in the first place.
I personally say screw the loved ones, what about the dignity of the patient? Who cares how much money they have to keep her alive - do you honestly believe she'd want to live this way? There must be a point where the quality of life of the patient overrides the selfish drives of the loved ones. If I get that way, let me die with dignity, not as a drooling politcal pawn.

Not worried. We have always found ways around the obstruction of information. We get better at it and they waste more effort with little success.
May seem like a stupid question, but are these silicon particles consumed during this process?

It was the coating on the ship, not the he that made it a disaster.
Yeah, on linux it was:
Day 1) Find autoexpect, leverage that with some bash/perl/python/tcl etc foo
Day 2) Done

A strawman AND a red herring.

For more problematic "western" votes, see mexico. Although the Mexicans have actually said something to their leaders.
