I *only* use IM at work. In fact, I send IMs to people who are roughly 30 feet away from me! It is so much easier to give urls or technical info in an text versus verbal speech. Also, for this purpose IM is far more efficient than an email.
Ever tried verbally telling someone to check out http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=87239&op=Reply &threshold=-1&commentsort=0&tid=95&mode=thread&pid =7575104??
If so, how much longer did it take you to say it than it would have to just highlight it and middle -click?
I sincerely doubt that any of those meat heads are reading Wired for crying out loud. Provided that *most* think it's fake, what are the chances that any FBI or IRS employee who browsed the story would think it was fake likewise? Pretty good.
If I were this guy, I would have no quams about writing a story with no proper nouns in it for Wired.
So according to Darl, IBM jumped in the ball game in 2000, dumped a million lines in, unleashed their massive hoard of QA'ers on the franken-kernel, and all of a sudden it was stable and robust? Gimme' a fuckin' break.
David comes on, he's now a shareholder, he's rowing with us, and let's face it, he's added significant value to our company since February. Our stock was around a buck, now it's $14. That's some of the best money we've spent, not even money, some of the best stock we've issued.
Pump-and-fucking-dump. There you have it, folks. I can just see Darl slumped back in a easy chair sipping a T&T while saying this..
...But I get about 1-2 spam mails per month on my UNFILTERED address. My filtered address receives ZERO. Period. My mail system at work throws away a ton of spam, yet none of it is destined for my mailbox. Ironic? Karma? Who knows.. I'm enjoying it!
Although I really like Ghost, this post simply mentions the names Dell and Microsoft far too often.. My eyes are bleeding!!
Let me boil it down:
Ghost will copy FAT, FAT32, NTFS (yes, NT, 2k and XP) and EXT2/3 filesytems flawlessly. You can even move a linux image of lots of EXT2/3 stuff to a different drive model and it works everytime. Just reinstall grub/lilo/
For you WYSIWYG Freaks out there, the Ghost Console will let you automate image roll outs, computer name changes, domain accounting, ip configuration, etc, etc etc. Just be carefull because it creates a lot of multicast traffic.. (it will bring a house full of 3Com 3300's and 4200's to its knees.. ask me how I know).
Ghost can also natively compress images during creating, which is nice. You also have the ability to add/extract data to/from images using a explorer-ish image browser (GhostExplorer). Have fun.
I'm running Procomm plus on a pentium 90 for the same purpose and I thought that was old - you certainly have me beat!
Although, our oldest Netware box (Netware for SAA actually) is running on a 386 and handles 01 through 9F worth of TCP/IP -> LU users running Attatch Mate Extra (ugh!).. Not too shabby for a box with a 1gb Conner SCSI-1 disc!
At work I maintain (loathingly) a couple of massive inhouse database apps written in Clipper that talk over IPX ONLY. Recently we cut out all IPX/SPX traffic on our network, but could not convince the PHB's to ditch these archaic apps. I am now running them in a Citrix Metaframe sandbox on 2 NT4 servers and a Netware box. This system could very easily be replaced by PHP + MySQL and cost less (due to citrix licensing) but the PHB's wont let us for fear that retraining the clerical pleabs will cost a fortune. bummer.

Sorry, I just had to!

SCOX has lost a dollar today..
No.. Illiad read slashdot 2 months ago.

Worst case enthusiast? Hell, my bedroom draws about 3kw... lets not even talk about the living room!

You are a moron, and probably listen to Punk Rock.
The content wasn't that good, and you obviously don't have the knowledge to even make that judgement.
My PHB thinks Darl is a nut job.

Shit. neener.neener tag, rather.
Hmm... I didn't know slashdot supported the tag.

Ghost will handle mixed drives and single-partition images.

Blender3d.org lasted a lot less time than I expected...
I wonder how many of us geeks will click add-to-cart tonight?
I don't know but it looks like the Sharp Zaurus is about to become REALLY expensive!

Am I the only dyslexic fool who saw this and read "Happy Third Party to Buy OpenOffice.Org" ??
Thinkpads are built for Linux, silly.
It would be a Tokin' Ring!
You said it yourself: "3G isn't available much.."
