  1. Re:Can I use this with Exchange? on Thunderbird v60.0 Email Client Released (thunderbird.net) · · Score: 1

    Not quite sure what you have against Lotus Notes? Last time i really used was around 2007...

    Not much has changed since then, including the c2007 bugs. Sametime is much better than Skype for Business, though.

  2. Re:Why the cut/paste of change notes? on Thunderbird v60.0 Email Client Released (thunderbird.net) · · Score: 1

    1997 called and wants its SMTP, POP and IMAP email back.

    I won't dignify a response to the troll about SMTP, but I believe most of the webmail clients are just using IMAP on the backend anyway.

  4. Re: Don't give out keys at all. on What Electronic Door Lock Would You Buy? · · Score: 1

    This solution would break down if the local agent needed to access the shed because of a network outage. How do you let the guy in if the comm gear is hung and he is there to give it a good kick? What zentigger needs is an electronic cipher that can be set in advance, provided to the appropriate person when required, then changed again after the service is restored, maintenance completed, etc.

  5. Re: Verizon does not care how you use it on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1
    Verizon does not care how you use it, as long as it is legal, so servers for web, email, ftp, etc., are all allowed

    Do you have information to back this up? Verizon's TOS for residential DSL is very similar to Comcast, and most other broadband providers, with servers in particular being forbidden. Have you seen an official TOS or FAQ for residential FIOS that indicates otherwise?

    The most informative information I've found so far about Verizon FIOS has been at broadbandreports and at the curiosly "unofficial" FTTP Deployment Center website.

  6. Re:The sysadmin in my CS dept is blind on New Technology for the Blind? · · Score: 1

    Raunch - How about asking your sysadmin co-worker to check out this thread. He might be a CLI-only user as was previously suggested, but he might not be. Regardless, there's a good chance he'd either have something worthwhile to post, or he'd get a tip from someone else. (Of course, he's probably already been on here if he's that into Linux.)

    Fitting that you bring up Star Trek, since Gene Roddenberry is listed as a Founder's Flight passenger.

  9. Re:Tom Bihn on Recommendations For A Good Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. Tom Bihn makes a very high quality bag. I have been using their backpack-type "Brain Bag" every day for over 2 years now to carry my large & heavy Inspiron 8000. The removeable "Brain Cell" laptop sleeve is sold separately and can be used in other Tom Bihn bags as well. It is padded and additionally suspends the laptop in a sleeve so a drop from any angle is pretty safe (check out their cutaway cross-section view). The sleeve can also be used separately from the bag if you don't need to carry all of your gear. They aren't cheap but I would buy another one without thinking twice. Made in the USA too.

    Perhaps a contradiction to what you are saying, but his earlier post pointed out that the NSA just put out a new SElinux release...

  11. Re:jvm on Weekly Microsoft Critical Security Issue · · Score: 1

    Mozilla does not come with a JVM

    I stand corrected. Netscape 7.02 does, however, come packaged with the Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment (which includes the Java Virtual Machine). You have to choose full or custom setup to get it as an installation option though.

  12. Re:jvm on Weekly Microsoft Critical Security Issue · · Score: 1

    Anyone running Netscape or Mozilla on Windows most likely has the Sun JVM installed. Everytime I've installed either of those clients on Windows, it has made Sun's version my default JVM, even in IE.

  14. Great review on Technical Review for Red Hat Linux 9 · · Score: 1

    Seriously a very nicely written article worth reading.

    Agreed. Regardless of your personal opinion about Red Hat and their software, this is an excellent document. Dax Kelson's article is appropriately targeted at sys admins and is supported by excellent documentation and linked references throughout the text. We should hope that future reviews from him or anyone else are of this quality.

  15. Re:I prefer to think of them on Abandoned & Little Used Airfields · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard any updates on College Park Airport in a while. I know there are much tighter controls than other small airports are subject to. Flying in or out of there is no longer a spontaneous act. They do have a fancy new sign for their aviation museum, though, so maybe they've seen a boost in funding. Regardless, the whole operation is quasi-supported by the MD Park & Planning Commission, including ownership of the land if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't count on seeing any race tracks their any time soon.

    My mistake. I actually thought that in this case the "patch" was to upgrade to v 1.1.4. Why wouldn't they just include the newer version of zlib in this release anyway?

    7.3 is apparently still packaged with the vulnerable zlib 1.1.3 version.

  18. Open Office vs Star Office on Mandrake Policy Change Angers Users · · Score: 1

    I've heard that Star Office 6.0 (beta) is much better than 5.2, but people in this thread are not always specifying which they are talking about. Does anyone know how the current version of Open Office compares to SO 6.0? I understand they are the same code, but SO 6.0 isn't fully released yet. Is the equivelent Open Office code out yet or is it still comparable to SO 5.2?
