The line direct from our HP sales and engineering contacts is...
1) This continues HP's post-merger philosophy of getting out of the microprocessor business.
2) PA-RISC microporcessor design and fabrication is already enough of an issue. Eventually, they're ending that as well.
3) Itanium is second only to the X86 in terms of numbers of microprocessors on the market, so it doesn't qualify as a flop.
4) HP's participation was holding back other HP competitors from co-operating with Intel on Itanium design.
5) Itanium and Opteron only compete in a small space. Opteron won't compete with compute-intensive or database-critical applications.
Those don't represent my opinions, and many sound like a real stretch. But, #1 would have been enough for me. If I was HP, I'd want to get out of the microporcessor business as well. Doing it well simply costs too much money. And, it hapers their ability to, say, play AMD vs. Intel games.
Have you considered the usefulness of substance abuse? I've always found that drinking worked really well when a locked door didn't separate you from your users. Luckier still, sometimes you have an office with a lock on the door so that you can get a few belts in between luser visits.
But seriously...
I kinda meditate on the fact that the requests only seem inane because I know how to do them, or I am the gatekeeper for getting them done. And, it's helpful to keep reminding myself that I'm getting paid to do this. Never forget that the user who is asking you for the same thing for the tenth time needs your help, and they are likely under pressure themselves.
There are plenty of facets of my current and past employers that might seem shrouded in mystery and ritual. We're all uneducated about something. Drawing on what it feels like to interact with someone more knowledgeable helps keep my attitude in line.
Now, with all that, I'm still pretty merciless with the people who should know better. But, I'm merciless in a humorous way (or, at least, I try to be). It doesn't work for or with everyone. And, I try not to forget that even those who should know better are still under pressure and need my help.
And, depending on the SP level of the terminal server, you may still have problems with non-MS clients getting a temporary license that can't be used after a (somewhat random... like 50-89 days... don't recall the specifics) period of time. Lots of thin client vendors have worked around this, and it may not be an issue for you. Test, test, test (on a non-production system) and pay attention to the Terminal Services Licensing util on your terminal server. Also, don't forget that the TS CALs require a Server CAL as well. And, those are usually device CALs, not user CALs (unless you specifically buy user CALs with a 2003 domain). XP and 2000 no longer have their own built-in CAL, either.
Er, the Sierra Club gets trotted out a lot as a "liberal" organization. So does Peta. Neither have ever struck me as "liberal" in the sense that all which leans left is not all that is liberal. It's a special interest group that tries hard to attract those of a left-leaning persuasion. There are plenty of left-leaning authoritarians. That's antithetical to the real "liberal" mindset. Neither really compares to the ACLU, which I'd call a genuine "liberal" organization based on the organization's aspoused philosophy (they filed an amicus brief on behalf of Jerry Falwell).
On the flip, the Christian Coalition gets the same rap. They aren't a conservative organization. They are a religious special interest group who tries to attract right-leaning, like-minded Christians. But the core CC ideals are not "conservative" in the sense of Goldwater conservatism. They cover a much broader framework, though they may sometimes parallel them. On the other hand, the NRA is genuinely conservative in philosophy as well as sharply focused on a single issue.
Mention that you're a liberal in a CC meeting or at many of the "conservative" churches in may area, and you'll immediately be branded a heretic. No lie. Straight to hell. Spawn of Satan and all that lot. I've heard it, and I found it chilling, though I defend their right to say it. And, no, it isn't far afield of that politically correct nonsense that can be wielded to hold down other viewpoints.
But, mention that you're a conservative or a Republican to me, and (as long as you can maintain a reasoned and rational discourse) I'll call you the "loyal opposition" and buy you a beer. We have to go past the attempt to make the labels we hang on each other a "four letter word" sort of thing.
Ok, I'd play a pulling guard (American football... acts as a lead blocker for a running play:), but few others would. It's kinda like the C-47 duties in a game like Aces High. Few of us want to play "supply chain management," even though I find the cooperative team concept entertaining. It has appeal to me (though the points about lag are well-timed), but I don't know if it has a wider appeal. I don't know a lot of Madden players who'd want to be the receiver who doesn't get the ball.
Wouldn't it be just as logical that they may be adding additional firepower to the Mozilla/Firefox development at some point? I won't get rich on the quality of my predictions, but that would make a degree of sense. Or, at least, they might be developing some google-specific extensions intended to rock our world. Heck, if I was smart enough to know what those are, I'd be working at google!
No, it's not related to the performance of Linux in the courtroom. But, I do recall reading that Linux is a preferred host for doing forensics (via dedicated tools are even using VMware) since filesystems can be mounted read-only without the need for a hardware switch (like a jumper on the drive). It's a minor point, but potentially useful.
I've looked at:
Penguinsleuth It's mostly a standard Knoppix CD with some forensics tools added
SystemRescueCD From one of the partimage team members, it's gentoo-based and with a sweet array of boot options, including a boot option for an nt password & registry editor. Oh yeah... partimage is kinda nice for a Ghost-like imaging option.
Bzzt... wrong answer... I was picking on dictators, not Nazis. I could have just as easily picked Mao in place of Hitler. Is it rhetorical overreach? You must think so, or you wouldn't cite Goodwin's Law.
If you like it better, I'll say:
"But that's like saying RC Cola is head and shoulders above Pepsi and Coke. It's all relative."
I'd have to accept that you find all three beverages as palatable as malted battery acid.
Jon Stewart is the man. O'Reilly is just a bully and a blowhard. And, while the Daily Show is fake news, it's still more real than The Factor.
To be fair, I did try listening to the Radio Factor for a few weeks. O'Reilly is head and shoulders above Hannity and Rush. But that's like saying Franco was head and shoulders above Hitler and Stalin. It's all relative.
I'd have to say that the homeschooled kids I have met have, on the whole, been much more outgoing to me as an adult. Honestly, I don't really like kids. I don't have them. I don't want them. But these kids (defined as a small group from 3-4 families... not much of a statistical sampling, I grant) interacted like well-rounded individuals. They were bright. They knew how to handle themselves in a conversation. I'd rather not compare them to even the marginally competent high school kids who attend the private school where my mother teaches; it's not fair to the private school kids.
...is a good addition to the list. As with any source, use it as a counterpoint. It's a lot like the Consumer Reports of American politics in that you'd never call it two-sided, which makes it an advocate as much as a media source. But, they see themselves as antithetical to big media, not neccesarily just a view from the left.
Paper Money Is Accepted Because......there is the expectation that it can be more easily exchanged for goods in comparison to a barter system.
As long as all merchants on the island accept paper currency, it is money. Barter is a hassle, since the medium of exchange is determined in, say 5 pies for 1 shirt. You may have pies and need a shirt, but no one has a shirt to trade. You may have a shirt to trade, but Maryanne ain't bakin' pies today. Money, however, can be used more flexibly.
Had one island merchant refused to accept paper money, the currency system might have crumbled. Imagine if you went to buy beer, and the merchant said "sorry. we only accept shells." How will the merchant employ shells as currency without a dollar-to-shell exhcnage around the corner?
Also, a key premise to the show was that they would be rescued. The acceptance of paper currency showed optimism as much as anything. They obviously did not expect to be unable to use the paper currency ouside of the island.
NX accessibility and remote computing capabilities are not limited to Linux desktops and servers. NX encapsulates and translates into X protocol the Remote Desktop Protocol used by Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server Edition and Citrix Metaframe, and Remote Frame Buffer, the protocol used by VNC, another Open Source remote computing facility, available numerous different operating systems.
Although NX compression offers the best performances when running native X applications, RDP and RFB sessions can be compressed by a factor ranging from 2 to 10. NX support of foreign protocols provides further advantages. Firstly, it extends its reach to virtually any computer and secondly, NX offers to the user a unified view of any application resource available over the Internet....so I might be a total darsh. But I still haven't been able to find an answer on the nomachine.com site as to whether that means it works with RDP clients (I think likely not), or that it serves RDP sessions via the X protocol (yeah, that's my guess).
It's interesting, but until there are thin clients (no, not the roll-your-own-with-old-PCs variety) that support the protocol, it's a hard sell in a lot of environments. M$ Terminal Services is a pain, and isn't cheap, but we can deploy thin clients with ready RDP sessions in addition to VT220 and tn5250 emulation (including passthru printing). I could do all that with a PC running *nix, but the PC hardware isn't a book-sized device that churns away happily in a dusty warehouse.
It's not a knock by any means. I'd love to centralize the client apps and just serve sessions over 40kbps. But even that is a little expensive over a 128/256kbps frame relay connection. It's nice. It will be useful. But doesn't sound like something to adopt in a real, low-bandwidth, network computing environment at the moment. I'd love to hear that I'm wrong and missing the point, because I'd *love* to replace MS WTS as well as local PCs in our warehouses.
Our director is (rightly) expecting an exodous in droves if the economy continues to brighten. Some of them are employees who just aren't of the "lifer" variety. Others feel used and abused. A few more might really believe there are greener pastures.
Whoa... that may be a little harsh. How is this different from sysctl settings in the BSDs? Granted, the registry is a bit more nebulous, since you can't see/set values with a simple `sysctl -whatever`. But most reg settings are binary on/off settings. And their changing can be batched for easy reproduction. It's unfair to deride a solution merely because it's not "your" kind of obscurity.
Is it ideal? Certainly not. I'd never advocate changing window size on a whim (or even as a means of hiding system type, as some security gurus suggest). But it certainly isn't unreasonable.
I have lots of recovering Evercrack freinds (and a number who are still hooked). I still don't get the appeal of a game that would be so tedious at the lower levels that leveling is required. The only MMOG I play is Aces High. Version 2.0 will have a specific character that levels up depending on performance, and I'm not interested in that.
The current 1.0 version puts virtual pilots in a big (or a mid-size historical) arena, where you sink or swim based on real, between-the-ears experience. There is a ranking system. You can join a squad, particularly if you show a willingness to do team work and grunt work (like flying C-47s to resupply fields and mobile units). You can fly some of the higher-powered aircraft if you earn perk points (based on landing kills, not just getting kills). Ironically, many of the top-tier pilots don't fly perk planes because they're seen as too easy.
Newbies do get waxed every mission for the first week or two, but most players "get it" and start functioning as part of an official or ad-hoc team. Some don't, and that's fine. By and large, though, your experience is real, not something that can be automagically leveled without your intervention.
I guess I just don't get the appeal of games that require that sort of behavior. And, the funny thing is that none of my Evercrack freinds really seem to like playing. It's some sort of preference, definitely. And, I'm not deriding it (the call it Evercrack... I just picked it it because that's a funny way of looking at it). I just don't get it.
This one can go to the bank. Do not go to 2000. Even the Microsoft people (from PSS, no less) say 2003 is the way to go. The list of imporvements for AD (not to mention the other 2003 OS improvements) is staggering.
Yes, it's true that a M$ product can generally be considered trash until SP2 or SP3, but there are all sorts of known AD issues in 2000 that have been fixed.
Oh my gawd, it's the "Virtual Reality Yard Work Simulator" from the Simpsons:
http://www.snpp.com/episodes/5F08
Homer: Ooh, ooh, I want to see Lobster Boy and Shrimp Girl!
Lisa: I want some fried sugar!
Bart: I want to go to the Yard Work Simulator. Marge: But when I ask you to do yard work... [Marge sighs heavily]
I was only out of work for 8 weeks, but that was enough for me. I ain't complainin' about my salary any more. No, really. I haven't yet. I've complained about other salaries being too low and some being too high. But mine's just right!
Now, I will complain about a lack of focus, nonexistent project management, unreasonable expectations and unclear goals. Heck, I'll complain about that all day long.
I'm sure I'm not the only one to read more deeply into atdi.com. Lots of links don't work, and I haven't tried the Wayback to read them. But, most of the headlines seemed to be positioned pro-Microsoft, going well back into the 1990s. So, what should we expect? I can't comment on whether they are careful, reasoned analyses without reading them, but I certainly see the slant.
I really like the last puff piece they promoted: are MCSEs good? 87-percent of HR mananger are aware of the program. 55-percent feel that an MCSE is more successful than a college grad. I guess it depends on how you define successful. Either way, it doesn't seem to point to the real truth about MCSEs, which is that the only valuable measure of their potential in your workplace is their experience.
Also, I'd like to find out more about the board members and their affiliations. That would be most helpful. The funny thing is to read the mission statement about "omnicurious journalism" and keeping alive certain liberal ideas. Yeah, lots of "liberal" ideas about business involve taking it in the/dev/null dispenser from a particular major corporation.
We aren't using Websphere, but we are using struts, commons-logging and log4j together in production without issue. In our case, struts is version 1.1.
As a possibility, one dev guy offers:
"So in Struts 1.0, I can see this as a potential problem if Struts wanted one version of log4j and commons-logging wanted another, but as of Struts 1.1, this really shouldn't be an issue."
YMMV, because we aren't using Websphere, so i can't speak to all that package may lump together.
It's definitely not a politically correct phrasing. The situation is a horrific mess, with 10 years of past learning that production systems are really just powerful development systems. The stuff I'll get to define is, to a degree, where the boundaries lie, what's acceptable, who needs to pony resources to fix project X. There's no one doing that now, so there would be a lot of flex to define how it will happen.
I feel pretty qualified since: A) I did SAR with the Civil Air Patrol B) I do spend a lot of time on trails C) I likes my privacy
To me, anonymous tracking of where the warm bodies have been to increase the chance of getting people out safe before they dehydrate or die of exposure is just fine. Add to that, most SAR people are volunteers, which is a good reason to give them a better chance at making a good find. Speed is helpful to the victim and to the volunteer. Heck, it's safer for the volunteers, too.
I'd also agree that video and audio tracking are right out. And, it would be nice to have some areas remain as primitive wilderness (IOW, we ain't coming to get you). But, the anonymous tracking in most areas sounds fine to me.

Also, I'd like to find out more about the board members and their affiliations. That would be most helpful. The funny thing is to read the mission statement about "omnicurious journalism" and keeping alive certain liberal ideas. Yeah, lots of "liberal" ideas about business involve taking it in the
I'll properly cite this to our Java dev guys:
We aren't using Websphere, but we are using struts, commons-logging and log4j together in production without issue. In our case, struts is version 1.1.
As a possibility, one dev guy offers:
"So in Struts 1.0, I can see this as a potential problem if Struts wanted one version of log4j and commons-logging wanted another, but as of Struts 1.1, this really shouldn't be an issue."
YMMV, because we aren't using Websphere, so i can't speak to all that package may lump together.
It's definitely not a politically correct phrasing. The situation is a horrific mess, with 10 years of past learning that production systems are really just powerful development systems. The stuff I'll get to define is, to a degree, where the boundaries lie, what's acceptable, who needs to pony resources to fix project X. There's no one doing that now, so there would be a lot of flex to define how it will happen.
I feel pretty qualified since:
A) I did SAR with the Civil Air Patrol
B) I do spend a lot of time on trails
C) I likes my privacy
To me, anonymous tracking of where the warm bodies have been to increase the chance of getting people out safe before they dehydrate or die of exposure is just fine. Add to that, most SAR people are volunteers, which is a good reason to give them a better chance at making a good find. Speed is helpful to the victim and to the volunteer. Heck, it's safer for the volunteers, too.
I'd also agree that video and audio tracking are right out. And, it would be nice to have some areas remain as primitive wilderness (IOW, we ain't coming to get you). But, the anonymous tracking in most areas sounds fine to me.
