Regrettably the real documentation is missing. Where, for example, are the file formats for Exchange documented so I can repair it? Why do I always have to use utilities that often cause more damage than they solve?
I don't put IE or Outlook on a server - because I have eliminated MS server class machines!!!!!
Anyway if you wern't totally ignornt, you would know that it is very painful to install any edition of Windows that currently ships without bug infested IE. You obviously failed even your Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert exam.
This is one of the USPs over Microsoft. Linux is not the leader of the Linux community. He rules by common consent. If the developers believe that he has 'jumped the shark', no worries, there enough others in the wings.
One of the strengths of Linux is that there are many organisations prepared to come behind it. Many more so than Microsoft, after all who but Microsoft can support their kernel?
(Did anyone else think of Sergio Leone's work while watching Kill Bill?)
Not exactly a Clint paen to Sergio, was it but if anything it reminded me of a Python take of of him. I still think it was one of the best so far, but I still have great expectations of ROTK.
They hunkered down in the accomodation module. The ISS is still below the Van-Allen belts so there is only some radiation getting through and that is easily stopped by the thicker walls there.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed and supervised the construction of the Great Western Railway (including locomotives and designing the buildings). This is why the ship was called "The Great Eastern". The GWR was his first railway and the The Great Eastern, his first ship. His range as an engineer cannot be understated.
The thing is that he tended to run the projects himself, including getting funding. The strain was immense, solving technical issues, managing the projects as well as the finance.
First of all, whts the big deal over Bluetooth? We have been hearing more about it dying than the "BSD" troll. Bluetooth allows multiple devices to connect up and allows recognition of capabilities.
Simple inductive loop systems were deployed many years ago for places like art galleries and museums. It works, but needs a bit of power. If the transmiter is static, no problem. Maybe the power thing is solved now, but Bluetooth is for a lot more than headsets.
The interesting thing is that many 'big' actors are quite prepared to work for a less on quality projects. I don't know how it works behind the camera other than for the director, but it certainly seems that many want interesting projects.
In any case, if the big names want too much, there are plenty of others, as we saw with LOTR.
Jackson, his wife and one other are given full script credits. The three have worked together on his previous movies. I don't think that most hollywood scriptwriters would be up to writing the treatment let alone a script from such a book.
Yes, that is what I mean about the loop-device. However, you would probably find it easier to load everything into RAM loop devices than leave part on flash. Remember, it won't be much - there are single floppy (i.e. >= 1.44MB) based distros out there.
The issue is that the bios often includes chipset configuration. You would have to duplicate these setups before booting. Normally you would want to run your image in RAM (much faster), so you would decompress the system image from flash. Linux likes to have hard disks but again, you run a loop device if you want.
Plenty of machines can boot off a Lan, often this capability is built into a Lan adapter for PCs. However it always has to be specifically enabled and is relatively easy to lock down.
To be fair I don't know the Diebold machines but if you are somewhere quiet, you can faintly hear the ATMs that I use printing a log between users with some kind of dot matrix printer.
Diebold don't consider printed logs necessary when delivering your votes to the republicans.
I'm on a freelance gig at a major bank (somewhat bigger than CSFB). It has outsourced and found problems. Now the idea is not to place the company's crown jewels on someone else's plate, but rather to extract non-core activities only (aka Smartsourceing).
It comes down to what you say and your security argument is a good one for this type of person (although personally I disagree). I prefer 'business security'.
You draw a line between your customer and the process that generates revenue. Everything on that line you should have directly under your control. If it can't be 100% (i.e., hardware support), then you must buy in redundancy.
The other side of this is that for Dell, this is a USP (Unique Selling Proposition). Dell corporate support now seems more attractive than one that is outsourced. Pitty it isn't the Inspirons as well. We have often used high end Inspirons instead of Latitudes although Dell describe it as a consumer model.
If the Win2K/XP code base had been compromised fully, I'm fully sure that the code would have spread. It didn't. However the suggestion that the crackers had commit access is what is really scarey. In the case of Digital, they had to review their entire O/S source code. Remember the attempt to manipulate Bitkeeper with a change to the Linux kernel. Even though there are a lot more eyes on the code, it *could* have been a serious problem.

That is why MS will do almost anything to get into the education amrket and to lock other systems out. An example is the flat rate license - you have paid for as much microsoft software as you want so why 'waste' money on other software.
Create a pool of Linux trained students, and they won't need 'conversion' to handle it in their workplace.
I think the issue is the way that mod and meta-mod work out. Each open mod has to be separately processed during metamod - however I don't believe that upping the limit to 10 or 20 would be that much of a deal. The change wouldn't be too difficult if it applied to everything, bit more so for interviews only, I guess. In any case it comes down to CmdrTaco to decide whether he wants it.
One of the advantages about RH in the past is that you downloaded the ISOs or bought a box and if you decided that you liked it for the big time - you jest went out and got a product that was really just a souped up and supported version of what you downloaded.
It is interesting that RH stress that this product isn't upgradable to Enterprise Linux although the RPMs are similar. However if I can be sure that something working on it will work on RHEL then this could be a step in the right direction.
Thanks, I suppose I should have guessed that. Some of the differences between Pro and Server are to be expected, but many others less so. I only have 2 Win installations left, one pro and one server and I don't often boot the former.
However I tried the mirroring trick after using it many years ago on big iron for copies, and was agreeably surprised at how well it worked.
Both Perdido Street Station and The Scar contain a lot of detail, as you say it has been "baroqued". I had thought about how it could be excised. Really it can't be because it adds texture to the book. You come out of it with a feeling for a complex and deep back story which you only glimpse here and there.
The characters in The Scar were somewhat thinner, but I wouldn't say that of Perdido. Even the Slake Moths had character there.

Um all the bugs to date, for instance. Why can't I buy I copy of Windows XP with the known bugs fixed? They knowingly sell defective products!!!!

We are lucky as so many questions got answered. However the usual rule is the top 10 highest moderated posts. As they stop at +5, this kind of sucks.
The NYSE is one of IBM's premier sites, I believe running Linux on Z/series heavy-iron. That would be a good place to start!!!!
I tried to get viagra sent to president@whitehouse.gov, but they are clever enough to reject that domain.
