What software is secure that doesn't clash with Symantec Software?
When I tried to convert my couple of users to Spop3, we found out that Outlook et.al. could handle it fine, but the email plugin for Norton Antivirus couldn't.
The situation wasn't all that bad as it incited me to implement virusscanning on the server (F-Prot, not Symantec:)
Where is that, [-1, not acquainted with my family] when you need it?
Anyway, these days I'm into installing my new hard drive's boot sector of its Win2k partition, as I initialised it while it was on hdb and win2k did not see the use of going through the hassle. By hand, that is (dd+hexedit).
after all the Linux documentation that I went through, this MS stuff is hilarious. It starts with this disclaimer, that to repair the boot sector, it is "best to use commercial software....In some cases, however, detailed knowledge of the boot sector can come in handy"
Considering the fact that everyone that I personally know that are concerned about using Photoshop only have completely and utterly warezed copies, what are we talking about?
These people do not need the strenghts that Photoshop has over the Gimp, nor would they like to use it under Adobe's conditions. The same goes for MS Office, and many other kinds of "professional" software.
I like to put Britany Spears' head on top of some nude's body as much as the next guy, and the Gimp is perfect for that. Let's sing a song of freedom!
I have been hired for installing, documenting, customizing and debugging open source software. Instead of being dependent on one company, there is an army of competent software engineers that you can hire to help you out.
But yes, the dirt is not hidden under the cover of a closed source, certified solution. This is scary stuff in a world where the number of meatballs in your soup is documented in that lunch room's iso9002.
Actually, I have a security problem which I hope can easily be solved. At my work, I have Phoenix 0.3 installed on Windowsxp. The problem is that it keeps remembering the password to my online email account, and I can't find a single setting related to that.
Of course the answer must be so simple, that I'm going to fall over backwards. Any hints will be appreciated, while I'm holding on to my desk...
... But OpenOffice didn't include the same fonts as my documents, forcing the program to select alternate fonts that messed up the spacing between words.
When I fixed the spacing and re-opened the documents in Word and PowerPoint, the spacing was now messed up by the return to the original font.
Hey, this happens in between different MS Word versions!
I love Openoffice.org, and I am proud of my list bullets showing up in MS Word as alien smileys.
Swapping floppies in Windows has desasterous effects on the data on both media, if there are any documents open.
I've seen years of work being destroyed, working at the university's help desk, because our users were able to do this. It shows the cynical side of Windows' user-friendliness.
But I admit, I had to learn to appreciated mount myself. Joke opportunities helped a lot though:)
The parent is moderated as funny! Must be the Dutch accent;>) It's happening like this all the time, though. Big Business is not for honest people, right?

I'm too stupid to understand that circular dependencies can be resolved by specifying BOTH .rpms together on the command line
Yes, that's me. But at least I know how to find useful Linux tips by including stupid as a search term!

And, even more disturbingly, it's the same link every time!

See "Politics And The English Language" by George Orwell. Don't remember if it concerned typical leftist or rightist tactic though.
