Jasmina: Anyway, John, you can catch the 11.30 from Hornchurch and be in Basingstoke by one o'clock, oh, and there's a buffet car and... (sees corpse) oh! Daddy! John: My hat! Sir Horace! Jasmina: (not daring to look) Has he been... John: Yes - after breakfast. But that doesn't matter now... he's dead. Jasmina: Oh! Poor daddy... John: Looks like I shan't be catching the 11.30 now. Jasmina: Oh no, John, you mustn't miss your train. John: How could I think of catching a train when I should be here helping you? Jasmina: Oh, John, thank you... anyway you could always catch the 9.30 tomorrow - it goes via Caterham and Chipstead. John: Or the 9.45's even better. Jasmina: Oh, but you'd have to change at Lambs Green. John: Yes, but there's only a seven-minute wait now. Jasmina: Oh, yes, of course, I'd forgotten it was Friday. Oh, who could have done this. (Enter Lady Partridge.) Lady Partridge: Oh, do hurry Sir Horace, your train leaves in twenty-eight minutes, and if you miss the 10.15 you won't catch the 3.45 which means... oh! John: I'm afraid Sir Horace won't be catching the 10.15, Lady Partridge. Lady Partridge: Has he been... ? Jasmina: Yes - after breakfast. John: Lady Partridge, I'm afraid you can cancel his seat reservation. Lady Partridge: Oh, and it was back to the engine - fourth coach along so that he could see the gradient signs outside Swanborough. John: Not any more Lady Partridge... the line's been closed. Lady Partridge: Closed! Not Swanborough! John: I'm afraid so. (Enter Inspector Davis.) Inspector: All fight, nobody move. I'm Inspector Davis of Scotland Yard. John: My word, you were here quickly, inspector. Inspector: Yeah, I got the 8.55 Pullman Express from King's Cross and missed that bit around Hornchurch. Lady Partridge: It's a very good train. All: Excellent, very good, delightful. (Tony runs in through the french windows. He wears white flannels and boater and is jolly upper-class.) Tony: Hello everyone. All: Tony! Tony: Where's daddy? (seeing him) Oh golly! Has he been... ? John and Jasmina: Yes, after breakfast. Tony: Then... he won't be needing his reservation on the 10.15. John: Exactly. Tony: And I suppose as his eldest son it must go to me. Inspector: Just a minute, Tony There's a small matter of... murder. Tony: Oh, but surely he simply shot himself and then hid the gun. Lady Partridge: How could anyone shoot himself and then hide the gun without first cancelling his reservation. Tony: Ha, ha! Well, I must dash or I'll be late for the 10.15. Inspector: I suggest yOu murdered your father for his seat reservation. Tony: I may have had the motive, inspector, but I could not have done it, for I have only just arrived from Gillingham on the 8.13 and here's my restaurant car ticket to prove it. Jasmina: The 8. 13 from Gillingham doesn't have a restaurant car. John: It's a standing buffet only. Tony: Oh, er... did I say the 8.13, I meant the 7.58 stopping train. Lady Partridge: But the 7.58 stopping train arrived at Swindon at 8.19 owing to annual point maintenance at Wisborough Junction. John: So how did you make the connection with the 8. I3 which left six minutes earlier? Tony: Oh, er, simple! I caught the 7.16 Football Special arriving at Swindon at 8.09. Jasmina: But the 7.16 Football Special only stops at Swindon on alternate Saturdays. Lady Partridge: Yes, surely you mean the Holidaymaker Special. Tony: Oh, yes! How daft of me. Of course I.came on the Holidaymaker Spedal calling at Bedford, Colmworth, Fen Dinon, Sutton, Wallington and Gillingham. Inspector:' That's Sundays only! Tony: Damn. All fight, I confess I did it. I killed him for his reservation, but you won't take me alive! I'm going to throw myself under the 10.12 from Reading. John: Don't be a fool, Tony, don't do it, the 10.12 has the new narrow traction bogies, you wouldn't stand a chance. Tony: Exactly.
If you do like something that flies all over your screen, all it takes is installing the Microsoft Agent libraries and a few lines of VB Script (just look at the examples from their web page) and you can write your own spyware-free Bonzi Buddy.
I can understand that a UNIX admin is more highly trained, and therefor more expensive than your average MCSE.
I think that's a bullshit statement. I've heard that the Microsoft exams can be rather tricky and somewhat difficult. The "anybody can be an MCSE" thing is a lie propagated on slashdot. I have a friend that's studying for MS certification, and he said only him and another two guys in his whole class passed the exam the first time.
What bugs me is those guys that get Linux running as a firewall, and then suddenly think they are this super-powerful ultra-l33t highly trained UNIX admin, which is a falsity.
I have a couple of hotmail accounts: one which I use to sign up for junk serivces. That one was so overrun by spam (100+ messages a day) that I had to shut it down. The other account I am very selective about giving my address away. I only use it for legitimate discussion forums, e.g., my Slashdot registration. I only get "NewsLetter from Hotmail.com" mail about once every month or so. Zero spam. Just be selective with your address -- hotmail itself won't "give you spam" like you claim -- I mean that's self-defeating, remember they're paying for the space!
So you set the user to run in the Users group, but set individual misbehaving applications to "Run as A Different User" (you have this option in the shortcut). That way, you still have lowered privleges, except in extreme circumstances where you have total control (it's like the sudo command).
Dawn Freeman, 23, a tax analyst in Lexington, Ky., has bought lowbrow videos, such as "American Pie," from Amazon.com. But she was aghast when the site suggested Tom Green's gross-out performance in "Road Trip."
"I thought, 'I know I don't like high cinema, but have I really reached the point where I'd like to watch Tom Green lick a mouse?" To even out her Amazon profile, she went through the site finding "witty independent films."
Wow, if this woman isn't a complete example of "stupid whore," I don't know what is. She's fine watching someone f*ck an apple pie, but Tom Green licking a mouse -- now THAT shit has got to stop!
Anyone else think it's kind of odd where she draws the line?
Let me add that the Windows NT security model is actually quite complicated, moreso than Unix even. It's just that many people don't understand it very well, don't know how to utilize it to its full potential, and therefore make assumptions that it's insecure and put it down. (How many people do you see set their entire C:\ drive to Everyone RWXD? That's like doing chmod -R 777/!)
With the NT security model you can create some extremely fine-grained security permissions which would be very clunky and a pain-in-the-ass to implement under *nix.
Likewise, if you're a normal logged-in user under an NT environment, you can't modify the Registry either. (Except for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key, which is analagous to the ~/.Whatever/ directories under *nix.) NTFS permissions are very tightly intertwined into the registry. Next time you log into a Windows box, try running regedt32 and take a look at the Permissions menu. You get full NTFS file/folder permsissons, except applied to Registry-like cases.
Likewise, I couldn't get VBScript to modify the registry unless I tried.
Most examples people give nowadays apply only to Windows 9x which I think are universally regarded as dogshit. (Hey we're in the 21st century now, I think it's time to quit using OSes that begin with '9'...)
When run as a mere-mortal user, Konqueror and Nautilus are not full-access file managers.
Are you indirectly implying that Explorer runs as SYSTEM? It doesn't -- it runs as the current logged-in user -- check your task list next time you are logged into an NT box.
As for the e-mail, they do deserve to get blamed, but security patches were released; it's just that since no one applied them, the viruses and worms spread like crabs in a whorehouse.
As for Word, if a document has macros in it, it prompts you with a box that says something like "This document has macros embedded in it -- Unless you know exactly what they do and explicitly want to enable them, you can do so by clicking here, but we really recomment you click here to disable them."

Actually .edu corresponds to .ac.uk or .ac.nz. 'school' would probably be the analog to '.k12.stateabbrhere.us'
It wouldn't mean jack shit, except for keeping the admin on his toes.

Well, no wonder, some of those certification programs have a "money back guarantee" that you'll pass, so where's the motivation?
Actually it was a college class. Something about Active Directory design and network structure...
Actually Win2k is automatically set up for DHCP... usually if it already has the driver all you need to do is plug the network cord in...
