Actually I recall quite the opposite... last I used rdesktop, it was hopelessly unstable (would crash all the time for no apparent reason)... this may have changed by now though, so don't quote me on it.
I think I was able to get the old NT version of microsoft's tsclient.exe working though, and found it a bit better, although it still doesnn't support XP's new remote desktop goodies, supported in the new RDP client, which unfortunately is only available for win32 and MacOS X.
Yeah but will they fork out the dough for long distance calling/mailing? I guess spamming is still an issue, but 90% of my spam comes from Asia or somewhere like that
After all, we know Micro$oft servers are a lot easier to crack than Linux or BSD servers, so they'll probably take the brunt of this.
It's asinine thinking like this that causes people to get hacked!
According to this article, 76% of boxes hacked in May were Linux boxes! Only 15% were Windows machines. It's just the simple thought that "oh it's open source, so it's gotta be secure!" that gets people to not update their stuff and get hacked.
Open source security vulnerabilities are just as frequent as Msft's, even moreso. Regardless of what you're running, you need to friggin update and stay on top of the game.
Or, you could just run chroot'ed Apache on OpenBSD.*:D
*The above statement shows the equal tradeoff between security and speed.
Think of the logistics behind that... that would mean they would have to support Linux too, which is a real financial burden on the company (training the techs, etc).
FreeDOS was a cheap way to ship a machine with no OS... the hidden intent was for you to download Debian and install it yourself!:D
Well, you'd probably have trouble having the W3C adopt it. Of course, you *could* do it the Microsoft way---stick it in mozilla and "make" it a standard.
Ok, the AC above just pointed out that this functionality is actually built into IE, replicating the functionality of the script above (except that it creates a standard Netscape bookmarks file, with its little proprietary tags and stuff). Just click File -> Import and Export, select "Export Favorites," click next a few times and you're done. Sure, a whole lot fucking easier than MY script... but certainly not... as cool!
Guess I never had the need to export to Netscape...:D

Slashcode is inserting random spaces and semicolons, so ignore those. Save this as Favorites.vbs and run at your leisure.
I think what he meant was "Navigator is an embarassment."
Using bookmarks and back and forth buttons -- we had about eighteen different things we had in mind for the browser."
Well IE is sort of better at this, in that favorites are individual files, so you can use the filesystem's find function to search (nice when you have 1000+ bookmarks).
That's cause they'd get sued by Real, Apple, and what have you. They have to follow the rules... mplayer reverse-engineers proprietary codecs (didn't they get in trouble for this?) and masquerades it as OK as it's "open source, you can't touch us."
Yes, dsl -> firewall. You don't need a router/gateway because it's part of pf. Unless you just have it act as a simple firewall and forward packets, but that'd be a stupid waste of resources. Just do a simple nat command in pf.conf, such as nat on $if from 192.168.1.0/24 to any -> $if and you've just got yourself a free, more secure router/gateway.
Cause, frankly, most people on this site are cheap skates and want nothing less than a free ride. The only "serious" competitor to MS Exchange is IBM's Lotus Domino server for LInux, with the Lotus Notes client for Windows and Mac OS X. But it's difficult to administer and Domino admins are a rarity these days, so you'll be paying top dollar. I mean, jeez, just use the right tool for the job... some people just are afraid to admit that it's Outlook + Exchange.
You should get RMS to go with you, and he can give them a long-winded lecture on why train fares should be Free, with a capital F.

What the fuck are you talking about, "legality?" Seems like the PHP folks are the ones with the legality problem, with this GPL/mySQL snafu. And "cost?" He mentioned that this was assuming you already have the software.
ASP is easier to configure, more well documented, and faster than PHP. Not to mention that it handles object oriented about 1000% better.

Isn't IPSec a possible solution?

These players alone will play ANYTHING out there, and do it very well.
If by "very well," you mean "seg faulting when trying to load files that other players do just find."
This is personal experience talking.
NT4 did support all four [see here] but support was dropped at a certain service pack level as there were only like 14 remaining users total of MIPS and PowerPC.
At least you're honest.

Plus, the top of this page says so.
(Three cheers for OSDN sellouts).
Oracle's OLE DB driver for Windows sucks major balls, I've used it. Needed the LOB support, and boy was it hell.
Things were nice and fast after I finally got it working, though. This was with classic ASP; transactions were almost instantaneous.
