HD content isnt something that 99% of the consumers go sleepless about. People gladly watch screencams of movies. DVD-rip is like, wow, look at that resolution, and man, no choughs! I have a strong feeling that HD is an excuse to try to force the consumers to shift to another format when they really are pretty satisfied with DVD quality. Its very nice when your customers have to buy their whole collection of media, again and again.
My theory is that it wont be many month after HD has hit the streets before someone makes a thingy that pretends to be an LCD-TV or Screen that connects to whatever you want to record into. But normal consumers, those who actually pay for their stuff, those are the ones taking it up the chute.
And how does this supposed training differ from the training that Windows Vista and Office Vista will demand? What you are saying in essense is that nobody should upgrade/migrate at all.
I have myself been involved in migrating 400 users from Windows to Linux. Not a single peep or complaint. Linux in the enterprise can easily be taliored to look almost exactly like the previous enviroment.
Sure SG-1 is very good. I still think it has gone past its "best before" date. Let this show rest and the resources and very good actors, directors and producers start new shows.
1. Ship your non-ready product on the stipulated date. 2. Tell your customers your product has not met your enormously high quality standards *giggles violently*. 3. Use the time gained to make the product ready for shipping. 4. If its not ready in time see # 1.
I can second that, only first they could perhaps be so nice as to get it working? As of now you first log into your desktop, do a login to novell and save a profile in Casa. It stinks that they dont use pam correctly. All they would have needed was to write one lousy pam module.
When i see how journalists reports on specific areas i cant stop wonder. Some topics i feel very interested and knowledged in. Big news outlets tends to always get those wrong. War reporting is amongst the worst of all. The truth seems very uninteresting in that area. Same goes for terrorism where the least interesting bit is telling the truth. I value reporting from a random blogger higher than anything from lets say CBS, Fox News, or some other bigshot western mews outlet. Thats because western journalism have proven itself not trustworthy.
So, in my world not being a journalist is actually a merit and not something bad.
This is done in fear of the European Union. While i disagree that it is enough its a small step in the right direction. Next would be to attack the contracts that punish OEM that sells anything other than Windows.
The correct way would have been if Vista didnt NEED an antivirus app. Microsoft is just cashing in on its own shortcomings wich in all eyes is just plain wrong.
Waiting is just letting the crackers have more time before things hit the fan. Security shouldnt be something you slap on like bandaid afterwards. Before exploits are being "found" by security vendors and researchers they are often being actively used by crackers. Security vendors then buy the exploits and sell the information to their customers.
You understood me right, what i was out for was if the attacks are from users within or from the outside. That is, is it someone with a developer account that has been very sloppy with his password or is it a breakin because of bad software etc.
You managed to say exactly what i feel about patents and copyright. I myself havent been able to put those thoughts into such well formulated words. You have my deepest admiration.
Linspire has legal support for all the media formats you will ever need. The problem lies in the patent system in the US. In most of europe its perfectly legal to use codecs for mp3, wma, real and what else without paying a dime. The EULA forbidding the use of WMA on any other platform than Windows is highly illegal in most countries, expecially considering the current monopoly.
Well then we are on the same level completely. They have NCL (Novell Linux Client), now in version 1.2. Sadly some schmucks at Novell have decided to make it SUSE only. Thats a huge mistake and many lost sales if that idiocy continue. I see Novells products as perfect glue in a mixed enviroment. Limiting clients to SUSE takes that advantage away for any company who uses Linux because they most definately have more than one distribution inhouse.
Actually, i have just setup Groupwise on Linux and i too had a hard time. Im perfectly capable of setting up sendmail, postfix, Zimbra, Hula and even the horrid beast Horde. Once i had figured out everything it was easy to setup but boy, that learning curve sure is vertical on groupwise. I think the reason its hard is that its so extremely flexible. Now that ive learnt how to setup groupwise on linux its pretty easy and i can make it do pretty much whatever i want. The best part is that its very lean on CPU and memory. One Groupwise server can easily handle ten times more user than a Exchange server on the same hardware.
About the client, if you mean eDir its on the eDir Unix/Solaris/Linux cd. Its avaliable for download from Novell. Clients for users exist for Java, Linux, Windows and a very good webmail.
The only thing i think they could do better is to make the installation program easier and better at choosing defaults for a clueless user.
I have been implementing Novell Open Enterprise Linux, Zenworks for Linux, Groupwise for Linux and now i need a client for linux to implement the rest in Linux. Novell is making a huge enormous mistake if they dont release a Linux client for Redhat, Ubuntu etc real soon. Novells products sits like a perfect glue in a mixed enviroment of Windows, Mac, Linux and other OS.
My point is they can very well fill a void in the linux ecosystem if they try to play along and dont try to tie people into SUSE in every aspect.
Thank you Google! Now my users will be happy, some have complained about google earth not being avaliable on the desktops of our linux terminal server. This really makes my day.:D
People are enough confused as it is so the chance of anyone getting a grip about what dotnet really is supposed to be is slim to none.
Ajax is where i place my bet because it works. Ajax is being implemented by multiple sources and have shown to perform well. For the untrained eye dotnet seems like all hype and no show. A slew of marketing hype with nothing tangible in it.

I think youve hit the nail on the head. By doing this the hardware manufacturers could endorse those who openly supports Linux. At the same time it would highlight those who choose to not. Just like the printer recommendations on linuxprinting.org
Finland won the Eurovision song contest a week ago. I already expect to see flying hell, frozen pigs and Linux Torvalds applying for work at Redmond any minute now. But Microsoft releasing an OS with just a smaller amunt of minor bugs? Not in my lifetime it seems.
A beta this scruffy is not sounding that uplifting. Since Vista is due gold in October there aint that much time left to ease the quirks out. If you believe the developers at Microsoft its very time consuming to fix bugs in Windows Vista. I really hope Vista wont be as ridden with bugs as Windows XP.
Actually i dont think Microsoft will meet the October deadline if they dont let a lot of bugs slip through their fingers. Doing that would really be to shoot themselves in the foot. The last thing Microsoft needs right now is another Windows Millenium that people just ignore. If most people just hold out until the next version of windows instead it could do a serious blow to Microsofts income.
I didnt think it was possible or feasible to run Windows box as any other than as admin. Ive tried and it made setting a whole fileserver up look like a walk in the park. For almost every single app you have to determinate what rights it needs and adjust. Especially when you start using some older software its very time consuming. With Vista the possibility to run as a limited user without demanding one admin per PC is introduced. I think the intention is "eating their own dogfood" and to force this way of thinking into everybodys mind.
Windows XP really sucks hard when i think about it. Vista is a small step forward but still, it really sucks to admin.

New way of shipping on time?
1. Ship your non-ready product on the stipulated date.
2. Tell your customers your product has not met your enormously high quality standards *giggles violently*.
3. Use the time gained to make the product ready for shipping.
4. If its not ready in time see # 1.

But Microsoft arent capable of creating a good efficient OS and thats their problem.

Have anyone of you heard of who does theese kinds of breakins? Establishing where they come from is a big step towards preventing them.
That excuse is already taken twice, this time they will have to come up with a better lie.
Wow,
