    You can't make a statement like that without citing your sources, and they better be referring to one of the following:

    1 - An independent telivision station not owned by a media conglomerate.

    2 - An independent radio station not owned by (or owning) a media conglomerate.

    3 - An independent newspaper with circulation (no the net and your blog don't count) not owned by a media conglomerate.

    They're framing the argument well to be sure. But the fact of the matter is, that technology marches on, and these telcos will do exactly what they've always done, charge more for the high end due to "equipment costs" and allow the low end and it's equipment to get older, and comparatively slower & slower.

    They want their pound of flesh from the consumer and they're not about to give that gravy train up.

  14. Gee Sounds Like what I do on my Mac on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1

    Gee Sounds Like what I do on my Mac with iChat and files.

    I take a file, drag it over to iChat, drop it on the individual I wish to send the file to, he sees the file come up as an icon in his iChat window, clicks it and it downloads onto his desktop.

    I'm really unimpressed with this, it's been done before. Granted it wasn't a wireless device, and the platform is different, but not THAT different.

    Hahahaha.

    Nobody said it was a conspiracy. It's not like I was stumbling around in the dark here. I read the docs for Samba, I read the man pages of Samba, I googled for the problem.

    It appears to be some DNS-like issue that XP _sometimes_ does, and samba 2.8 didn't support. My bet is that 3.0 probably takes care of this issue, or at least addresses it in the readme or docs.

  22. Re:Does this ver. solve the WinXP security "featur on Samba 3.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That's one of the issues. Some boxes didn't have the problem, some boxes did.

    I went so far as to fdisk the XP box, reformat and do a complete reinstall just to have the same problem after I reinstalled. All of that while other boxes _just_worked_. BTW, in my setup the Samba box was acting as the PDC for the Wintel boxes.

    Oh, and we're talking XP Pro not Home.

  23. Does this ver. solve the WinXP security "features" on Samba 3.0.0 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I was recently banging my head against the wall when attempting to use a Samba share on an XP box that had worked fine on all my Win2K boxes.

    Days & days of hacking the config and attempting to get it to work to no avail. Finally I find that it appears that WinXP has some security "features" added into it that break the use of samaba shares.

    This frustration I felt has actually pushed me one more step towards switching all of our machines over to Linux. It may not happen tomorrow, but it will happen.
