  9. Re:OpenLDAP Schemas? on Deploying OpenLDAP · · Score: -1

    I've done an OpenLDAP install once if I remember correctly and the install itself went fine, but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to administer it or really do anything with it as there were no tools that came with it.

    Active Directory and even Netscape Directory Server(or Sun iPlanet) are a lot better to experiment with. Both of those will give you an idea of how the classes and attributes correlate and since you are trying to learn OpenLDAP I'd suggest going with Netscape/Sun (both can be downloaded from Sun's website and as far as I can tell after downloading them they are both free but Sun does have a pay version of theirs; I know that for sure) because they won't have Microsoft related classes and attributes spread throughout the schema. Your lowest level default class for a user is an inetOrgPerson in standard LDAP; MS uses user as the lowest leve default class for users. At the top is just "top". And it flows down from there to inetOrgPerson. Each user class down the hierarchy gets more specific by adding in more attributes while inheriting attributes from those above it. Since Netscape/Sun conform to the LDAP standard, viewing their schema should prepare you for OpenLDAP and they have much better tools to do that as well.

  10. Re:Disgustingly Bad Book on Deploying OpenLDAP · · Score: -1

    For just one highly simplistic example: Tom, LDAP is NOT a database.

    Just to redeem Tom a bit here: the reviewer does make it a point to say that Tom "makes a clear case that an LDAP directory is not a relational database" so based on that I don't think anything was said that should make you think he said LDAP is a database.

    The more famous shot is where Keanu Reeves is dodging bullets up on top of the building before the subway scene because that scene gave the camera trick its name: bullet time.

    What's the point of a journalism degree if you can be called a journalist by making your own site and posting messages to it?

    I think that Yahoo has a problem with this in a sense because people can send other people messages on Yahoo messenger, the recipient will wonder who it is and visit the sender's Yahoo profile page and when visited the sender can steal the Yahoo password of the visitor and change it so you can't get back into your account anymore. And then they use your address book to send to your friends and try it on your friends then. Anyone know anything about this?

  21. Re:Discount? on Attempt to Apply Decency Standards to Cable/Satellite Television · · Score: -1

    George Carlin should take his own advice about how some words just are not needed to get a point across. You can leave out all swear words in all movies and still get the same effect. Don't believe me? Watch a movie on TV once it has been censored and see if the explosions or the naked women (different topic) look any different or the plot is scarred somehow. I'm not talkin about the stupid words that get inserted because of the censorship but when the sound is totally blanked out I can still get the full plot just fine. When unnecessary words are removed then a bigger viewer base is capable of seeing the content and doesn't that bring in more revenue? I don't see why the media producers don't get that concept. Those who feel the need to hear f*ck every other sentence can feel free to say it to themselves but I don't think having to use more than my fingers and toes to count how many times that word is said in a movie is a sign meaning the movie is great. It is just the opposite in fact. It sure doesn't make it a movie that most people would enjoy.

    You should take your own theory into account as well and realize that without "f*ck" being used at all in a tv show or movie that the idea can still be very clearly expressed so what's the added value of including the swear words then? Simple answer: there isn't any added value.

  22. Re:Better Solution on Attempt to Apply Decency Standards to Cable/Satellite Television · · Score: -1

    There is no Constitutional infraction going on here. No one says the media producers aren't allowed to produce the crap they produce. They just have to distribute it in a way that prevents just anyone from getting it. The speech is still free because no one is telling them to shutup, they are just being told when and how to talk because not everyone wants to or *should* hear them. Sure we can change the channel but the media producers need to show some responsiblity just as parents do. The producers think they are all high and mighty and don't need to show any responsibility and most people disagree. As one person said here a few months ago, just because you change the channel doesn't mean it goes away and when you choose to ignore someone they will get worse and worse because they know they can get away with it. It's about time we rein in the producers.
