It's monday morning. I'm in a bad mood to begin with.
Perhaps I just have a chemical imbalance, or emotional issues, but I swear if I had some sort of automatic weapon available and access to many people at the RIAA....
or perhaps I have a flair for imagination. I'm not violent, but I have a *VERY* low tolerance to pushing around or abusing those with no means to defend themselves.
I swear on my life I'm being serious. They won't support anything outside the GUI.
"What? You say you've been using to secure shell to remotely access your XServe? That's unsupported."
I admin a little over 20 FreeBSD servers, and a few Win2k servers that run Cygwin. This is a new one to me.
They'll support it if you purchase an enterprise support agreement, but you have to dicker with a sales person on the price...it isn't static. My client that has 5 OS X servers they wanted $15k (!!!) per year, or $6k, and $150/hour/per incident. So $6k to have the privelage to ask, or $15k to actually get answers to your questions.
In the words of my client:
"I feel violated."
Ugh, I'm a Unix admin myself, and can fix most any of their problems, but things like NDC (name daemon control for bind) are broken out of the box and we'd like to have work. Can't get support for it, and I've messing with it for months now. FYI, both NDC and BIND are pre-installed and 'working' with OSX.

Otherwise I wouldn't see full-page magazine ads touting 'the power unix', and giving details on power-user experiences converting from (insert your unix flavor here) to OSX.
Don't underestimate yourself before you make an effort at asserting what you want. You just never know...

Heh. Nice linkeage. Why be deceptive though? You could just come right out and let people know what it is. Might get more clicks that way too.;)
This is slightly off-topic, but slashdot apple while we're at it requesting ogg-vorbis support! Do so nicely, but be firm. Let them know you have music that can't be played without hacking iTunes, and you can't play it back at all on your iPod.
I'm currently working on getting chrooted ssh shell sessions set up for my users. I've looked at doing scponly http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/ But that only works for those not wanting 'real' shell accounts.
Anyone with experience on the topic I'd like to talk to so I can document it and submit it back to the community for searchability and useability. Kthx!:)
I'm still looking for h4xx0ring OSX: The guide to 0wnz0ring your mac...and everyone else's.:)
Serious, I've been a FreeBSD admin for quite some time now, and I use OSX on all my desktops, and have deployed 2 xserves in the last year. There is quite simply a LARGE void in server documentation for this OS, along with configuration how-tos.
I still can't get ndc (name daemon control, bind) to work on OSX, though named runs just fine. I had to write up docs myself (posted at macosxhints.com) on how to partition out the system and have Apple's updates work nicely and how to get SpamAssassin Milter working with a custom rebuild of sendmail.
Much much much documents need to be written for the rest of us....those who know what we're doing, but don't want to spend weeks researching in order to do it, which is what I'm STILL doing.:P
The only part that violates the DMCA is the part that describes how to circumvent copy protection schemes.
That's the reason Microsoft will want him to hang over this.

Now, that being said, I run an ISP in St. Louis, and spam is a problem, but for the precise reason mentioned on the submission, I can't use a challenge-response system. The reason is that our support staff equals myself plus 1. If I want to answer phone calls all day from people complaining about not being able to get mail from their daily spamming of mailing lists, I best allow all. The problem is that these same people complain about all the spam they get...ugh. The above solution is elegant and leaves the ability to control the filter to the end user via webmail. If they don't like it, set the threshold high and it's 'off'. Been using this for months without a complaint.
Now if you don't use lists, and it's for your own mail server...go for it. That has to be the most effective method available, but not appropriate for wide scale use.
Anyone else -- FBI hackers, law enforcement and malicious programs included -- would be locked out.

What I want too. Go to radio shack, get a clamp-down style cell phone holder. Get one of those FM modulators. Pipes directly into the antenna via wire. Or grab one of their head-end cd changer emulator units. Either should work. iPod heaven.:)

j/k.;) I know what you mean, but this application plugin concept is pretty nifty, especially not having to install any software on the PDA in order to use the application with their embedded plugin.
Although fixed wireless solutions are stepping in to add competition to the telco/cableco monopolies, computer usefulness and internet usefulness are being stymied by the lack of cheap, permanenet, and reasonably fast internet connectivity. Not everyone is willing to pay $50/mo for a good net connection. Dialup doesn't cut it.
That's why I've worked my tail off the last year to deploy a good wireless solution.:) Not 802.11x FYI. I'd tip my hand, but I don't want more competition...yet.;)

She said one study " reported dependence over a wide dose range", from as little as one or two cups per day to as much as 25 cups.
25 cups???? 8 hour workday. 25/8=~3/hour
Every 20 minutes you're downing approximately 8oz of caffeine and water.
Man, come up for air!

Look over at version tracker, there's an app that enables those functions...I forget the name now. It's a preference pane add-on. I think Tinker Tool.

It's not like I think all internet apps are used to steal software, it's just that no one pays for anything online.
Seriously...this whole concept would be pretty cool.
Woohoo.
:)
Actually, got thinking about how cool a remote control Kazzaa client might be...
Think of something you want to download away from home (Linux Distro?)
Begin the download from your Palm-type device.
Have the file waiting for you when you return, presuming of course you have a broadband connection at home.
You'd be that much more of a geek, but then, what are you doing here if you *didn't* want that?
Just wondering how many applications will utilize this. Might be nice to have access to those custom VB apps that aren't widely distributed.
:D
Aw, who am I kidding. It'll just get used to run Kazzaa searches from anywhere.
