IIS is not installed by default in the Workstation product. You must manually choose this component at a later time after the install. The Server Product(s) 4.0/5.0 IIS is installed by default (of course) -- fyi.

The guy who posted this story is, well, let me put it in his words, "...My name is Tom Limoncelli and I'm a 32-year old poly, bi, white male that lives in New Jersey." Dude, next time, leave the details out...sheesh.
I think the demise of the sysadmin/programmer/operator is probably more impacted by the bad economy than anything else. HP's Openview touts the same thing: going from 1 admin per 2 machines to 1 admin per 300 machines.
It's not frozen methane -- it's a cap on an undersea cave. If you take off the cap it will release the seamonsters! Run for your lives! aaaaaahhhhhh! ahhhhhhhh!
I typically put the applicant in a lone chair in a large room with a lamp hanging directly overhead. As it sits blindfolded, I play strange sounds like rat-feet scurrying, Pink Floyd, or the Windows Boot Up wave file. Then silence. I remove the blindfold, but remain outside the light. I make visible a loaded 9mm glock with glow in the dark sites I bought from ebay for 59 bucks and no questions asked.
"I only have one question...." I say as I deftly chamber a round and put the working end of the gun to it's head. "What are you thinking right now."
Some answers which have ended the interview badly:
* My dog/cat/pet won't get fed. * I didn't get to tell my friends/family/s.o. that I loved him/her/it. * I'm too young to die. * crying
Some winning answers:
* My cron job will fail if I'm not there. * Can we do this tommorrow I'm on call tonight. * I forgot to cut some space on the xp512 for >. * My quake clan is going pissed about this. * Damn, I'm gonna miss Enterprise/Buffy/Farscape tonight. * Go ahead you ain't got the cajones.:)
I currently work for one of the top 5 airlines, and even though we are losing money, we continue to spend on IT innovation (smartly). You just need to prove ROI w/ in 1 year and a good NPV. If you can't get your application approved, possibly find something small that would really affect the bottom-line and pitch that idea. Sometimes a $10000 project that yields $50,000 in savings is easier to swallow than $1Mil that saves $3Mil.
Finally, my thoughts on the IT industry. I had a talk with a recruiter friend of mine and he really opened my eyes. First, he said that the following things need to happen with IT: a) all those.commers wanna-bes need to go do something else, or whatever it was they did before 1994. And leave IT to the pros. b) we need attrition (like retirement), and since the industry is young, those that are good are needing upward mobility, yet the IT structure is always a little more flexible than say Finance. c) IT people need a lesson in macroeconomics; i.e. a company website is nice, but does it really make you money?
Since I work for an airline I may have to learn (very shortly) to say: does anyone have any coffe-ey or cook-eys? No, okay I'll just take a nap (www.oddtodd.com)
That's a load of crap. My dad used to make cool pictures using his old mainframe terminal in the 70's. All those terms in the applet are made up: why not call ISOTOPYL 'MAKE COLORS CHANGE' instead.
Yeah, this crap get's on slashdot...makes you wonder who you have to know to get submitted.
"My father would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark."
Toilet paper, with it's possible use as a wrapping for unsuspecting households (thus causing damage to property) should be outlawed even though it's majority use of keeping arses clean is much more in the public interest. The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
Actually the avocado looks to be part of the shirt (notice the crease of the breast continuing into the avocado on the shirt). The "illusion" of holding the avocado is that she is pinching herself because she's so happy that she get's to play AIRPORT (The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only, there is no stopping in the red zone). On the Atari theme, check out http://web.archive.org/web/20020131063616/http://w ww.safestuff.com/doclibrary.htm then check out http://www.digiserve.com/eescape/atari/articles/30 -Secrets-of-Atari.html then check out www.warrenrobinett.com. All very interesting!
The real issue, and I think I'm somewhat unbiased on both sides because as a Project Manager I'll go with what fits the situation, is that Windows is easy to use, or easier to use than most. Sure, Linux/Unix maybe the OS equivalent of a hummer, and the MS OS maybe a pinto. But darn it, if I wanna grab some taco bell that Pinto fits better in the drive thru, don't ya htink? For all the negatives people yell about Windows -- and in most / some cases I couldn't agree more -- it's still an easy decision which to deploy in most cases. Take for instance a group of data-entry folks (which is a common group in business) -- their computer skills are null. Thus, they need a simple, workable solution. Windows is the correct answer.
The other side note to all this is a little theme that I see nowadays running the corporate America: a lot of die hard Sun guys are discovering they can by an Intel 2Ghz, slap Linux on it and -- Damn! it's fast... and cheap.
Anyway, to make this a novel... I for one think Linux ought to come out with a Linux:Home version so that the computer illiterate in the world could run it as well. Remember, for every person who knows and understands computers there are 9 people who have a) never touched a computer or b) don't know the click from the clack.
Anyway good article... I thought the ideas were lucid, but it's seems that all Microsoft's White Papers say Microsoft is the best and all the Linux White Papers say Linux is the best. It would have been interesting to have this guy argue the other side and see if he could make it work.
I don't normally speak up, but it just cracks me up about all these companies working towards better product security. I mean that's all good and well, trying to protect your livelihood. But don't they realize they can't win? Let's say you have a team of 1000 developers, scientists, mathmaticians working on some security process for your product, does that really matter when compared to the 100 million hackers trying to break it? People are always surprised when a 10 year old kid breaks the security -- it just a matter of skills, creativity, and out-of-the-box thinking...

Why not just post the link and we can read they're web-page for ourselves. I have to wonder if SV.COM has some advertising here somewhere....
