Intel Landesk (an MS SMS competitor) also has issues when SP2 is installed. But why would MS care about that? According to them everyone should be using SMS.
Enterprise Linux users would be called up by SCO employees and asked:
"Would you be more likely or less likely to install Linux as a Server OS if you knew Linux has copied source code from SCO?"
any idas on how one would stop users, in a large corporation, from d/l this server pack? apart from blocking the www.microsoft.com/downloads and msdn.microsoft.com ??? asking the user to NOT d/l doesn't help much.
I started with Oracle Programming, then moved to Objectivity for Pure OO DBs, and now I am using mySQL. Stored procedures are very useful, if your application runs in a console mode, from the server that is hosting the DB. But in real-life this is not usually the case. Most applications are web based, in which case the web server is the middle tier. The latency added by the middle tier and the whole HTML/XML is so much that using stored procedure vs C++ doesn't help too much. Nowadays I use Java/PHP code to process the data, instead of PL/SQL, since it is the middle tier that is the bottleneck, and not the fact that I m processing data on the middle tier instead of on the DB server.
With all advances in the client (browser) technology I am even doing some processing (mostly for presentation) on the client using applets, and XML/CSS.
The name of that episode was "Lisa the skeptic". Here are some quotable quotes from that episode:
Homer: What am I gonna do with 1,000 angel ash trays? Bart: I could take up smoking. Homer: You damn well better!
Ralph: Prinscipal Skipple, Prinscipal Skimpster! I found something! It's a spearhead! Miss Hoover: That's your trowel blade, Ralph. It fell off the handle. Ralph: And I found it!
"Yeah, everybody's heard of angels, but who's heard of a neanderthal!" -Chief Wiggum
Why is it that Agnes Skinner pushes over and calls him "Shorty" if he is at least six inches taller then her?
Burns: "Smithers, use the amnesia ray." Smithers: "You mean the revolver, sir?" Burns: "Precicely."
Homer: (In an "Aleluya" type song) See an Angel! See an Angel! See an Angel! See an Angel!
Lisa: For the last time we don't *Know* it's an Angel!!!
Homer: I know that! if you paid atention you'll notice I never *once* used the word "Angel"
Lisa: What about the sign? (She points at a sign which cleary says "Angel")
Homer: Err...That's the typo!
Lisa: Ah here's Doctor Gould now. What were the results, professor? Stephen J Gould: Inconclusive. Lisa: Inconclusive?? Why did you come running up like that? Gould: Can I use your bathroom?
Burning Robot: Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?
Principal Skinner (over PA)- All honor roll students will be rewarded with a trip to an archaeological dig. All detention students will be punished with a trip to an archaeological dig
does anyone remember the simpsons episode, where Lisa finds a skeleton of an angel with wings? It turns out that was just a marketing gimick to attract people to the grand opening. This ilovebees.com is just that.
the article doesn't contain any new info. Everyone know how unsecure network connections can be at conventions. everyone know they can cause havoc.
Even the SANS conference, with all the security gurus, had issues with providing network connectivity. That is why they longer provide network connectivity, WiFi or otherwise, in classrooms.
> windows supports WebDAV (internet folders and such even with win98)
Actually to be exact, it was the Internet Explorer that introduced the concept of Web Folders on Windows.
If you ever use Web Folder on Windows, you will quickly realize that the Application needs to support Web Folder/Web DAV as well, to be able to save to that Web Folder.
For e.g. open up Notepad/Wordpad and try to save to a Web Folder on Windows. You WON'T be able to do so. You can cut and paste files into a Web Folder, but that is not really streamlining the content publishing process.
It is almost imperative that the application in question also supports WebDAV.
There were rumors that Microsoft had planned to improve the WebFolder functionality on Windows XP. But that never happened. I guess MS wants the users to use native File Sharing technology rather than a more Open Standard protocol. Actually on Windows XP, they crippled WebDAV authentication if you are trying to connect to the Unix based Apache server. On XP you can only connect to a MS IIS based WebFolder. Windows XP adds the domain context to the user credential when passing the credentials to a WebServer. Windows ISS server knows to ignore the domain context, but most of the other WebDAV server don't. To get around this you have to connect to a WebDAV share using I.E.
Make sure the online storage space provider that you choose, supports WebDAV . WebDAV will allow you to map these online storage space as drive letters on your Windows, or as mount points on your OS X/Linux.
i speak this from experience:
there are 2 kinds of good graphics designers:
1) those who have a real job; and
2) those who work a starbuck (or other coffee shops)
Those who have a real job, make way too much money to care about OpenSource stuff.
And those who work at coffee shops don't have enough time/money to spend on OpenSource stuff.
Both of these types don't have time to write HOWTOs on good User Interface design.
in my universities days, we used to read that 786 will come soon, and it will seperate the floating point processor from the main CPU. Did that ever happen?
Sun Java Desktop is based on Suse Linux. Suse Linux is owned by Novell.
Sun and Novell are the top 2 contributors to OpenOffice/Star Office.
Novell's Suse Linux comes with OpenOffice, while Sun Java Desktop comes with StarOffice.
now I can receive SPAM while I am around Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Capitol Visitor's Center.
On the positive side, I can go in the supreme court sue the spammer.
if the only difference between US workers, and offshore workers is the how much they get paid, then the US workers should try taking a pay cut. It doesn't hurt to try.
why would i wanna do that? i am unable to comprehend of a case scenario, where I would wanna do that. If I need to use Linux Compiler while sitting on a Windows box, I would rather use vmWare. Also vmWare has made great progress in their GSX and ESX, to make all this very easy.
The common wisdom in the security world is that easy-to-use scripts to circumvent security--called "exploits"--are a threat to the Internet.
The Metasploit Project and its founder, HD Moore, hope to change that perception.
I thought changing the name from SATAN to SAINT, fixed that perception. I mean, how many attackers wanna use a tool called "SAINT", no matter how good it is.

Copy the backup the files on CD (700 MB) and delete them.
We have been using cygwin dll to run RSYNC on Windows servers without any issues.
what's next? push polling???

I don't know of any any distro optimized for creating a NAS. But I have used RedHat successfully to create a NAS.
On my NAS, I have also included support for WebDAV protocol. It comes in handy when your users are publishing Web Content.

XHTML 2.0 almost forces you to seperate "content" from "presentation". Which is a good thing.
Something better would be to use pure XML for creating content and then let the browser apply a CSS to present the content.
See Mozilla + CSS + XML = Structured + Formatted Content for more info.

Actually I DONT want to use microsoft's schema. It has too many licensing restrictions.
I want to use DocBook schema instead. DocBook schema is much better, and has a open license.

trust me. you can not generate revenue from online ADs. Take Eric Raymond advice and sell mugs, t-shirts etc with your logo. That is better way to generate to revenue then to put AD banners. I used cafepress.com to create a online store to sell mugs and tshirts and it was pretty easy and effective.
