I would rather have wanted the IBM Transnote
If the tablet PC should work, it should be cheap since I never really think it would be the only PC you would have. it would need to be thinner than it is. It wouldn't need a lot of fancy features.
You could have a dockingstation that would give it more features, option for other graphiccard etc. It would have some very for some things, but bad for others.
What bothers me most about spyware and insecure windooze programs(outlook etc) is that you can secure your PC by tweaking the right knobs, but then the time comes for that 1/2 year re-install and you have to start all over and remember what to turn off where etc.
Installing a Windooze pc and connecting it to the internet requires so much work before you can say it's secure. And then there is all the spyware that comes with "great" shareware programs, so you really need a seperate partition to test the programs on first before installing them on your primary installation. Then you need programs like Ad-Aware and a personal firewall to keep track of programs that likes to phone home(have even seen programs with no network functionality all of the sudden wants to contact a server on the net).
Oh, and let's not forget antivirus software etc etc.
So I installed a Linux dist, not because I think that it's impossible to infiltrate it, but because the focus on all that Crap-ware has not yet turned too bad there and I feel more in control over what's going on under the hood. Now if only they would make the fonts look right, they are getting better, but not 100% yet.
I thinking about those 90% of the people with a connection to the internet, who does not have any clue to what's going on. And the great concept with Windooze was that they shouldn't need to know everything about computers to use them. These days they don't, but they do get their pc 0wned in a mild way.:)
We are beginning to see ISPs offer secure/firewalled connections to the internet. So that might be a new feature(income) for them, firewalling,spam blocking, blocking "bad" ip's. I have seen advertising for it, but I haven't looked into it.
Isn't this something you could put in a poll?

(o) I own a Fujitsu and no problems.
(o) Fujitsu 0wned my harddrive
(o) I don't own a Fujitsu and no problems.
(o) I don't own a Fujitsu but many problems.
(o) I want a Fujitsu so I can get problems.
Yes but this is where most people fail.
First you could start by "securing" the net using the "security" available today in 802.11, something all too few companies does.
Then instead of connecting it to your network, you could connect it to the outside of a VPN box, so that you would need to run VPN over it.
If setup right it would work well for those on notebooks, since use the same method to connect to the company network when you are on site or remote using the internet. The difference is that on site, you would use your 802.11 card and remote you would use a ethernet/modem connection to the internet to connect.
I have tried this and it can work, you can even make it work so that the people in the sales dept. can understand it.
With that said, I am still amazed by amount of companies who install a 802.11 net without securing it at all. I have tried it many times, I open my notebook connect to the network and ask them for a account so I can login. Then they ask me how I got connected to their network and I tell them that I am just using their wireless net.
After that I normally can sell a few hours extra to secure their wireless net. And recommend that if they want that extra security, they sould do something like I mentioned above.
And so I end the day with selling a few extra hours and maybe some VPN boxes.
Because if your not the target group, why waste any bandwidth on you. .. or me for that matter, I got the same message as you.
I think it might have something to do with them not wanting the users being out of reach for their lawyers.
I had a excellent Novell experience today.:)
I just installed a demo of Netware 6 today, I was amazed by the number of programs coming with the server as default, damn. Just look at the web admninistration.
When talking NDS, I discovered that now that Novell runs PHP,MySQL,Perl there is a greater reason to run apache web servers on it.
And what was even better, you can now authenticate users against your NDS in apache. cool. Just like you would use a.htaccess file, you can point it to the NDS directory instead, very cool indeed, it would look something like this.

AuthName "Secure_Site"

It was very cool to see my php/mysql applications running on a netware server, I didn't need to change anything in the code, I imported my SQL data into MySQL and it was running.
uhm, maybe I should remind you of some fat guy standing on a scene in front of a lot of people at a conference, chanting and dancing.
(I hadn't anything to do with religion,,,, then again)
So now that the site has move a few timezones, we won't see anyone pull a Lone Gunmen anymore?:)
Oh wait, it doesn't work that way, and they moved in the wrong direction.
There are many reasons, mostly for those who program websites. Sometimes you don't want people to see a page before another. this could also be solved with cookies, but some blocks those too.
Then there is the statistics, learn how people navigate around your site. referer can help you see a pattern and improve your layout.
Also it can prevent bandwidth hogs, mostly a issue with ad. graphics and pron sites where people use graphics from others servers on html pages on their own sites but also on free servers where people place graphics and files and link to those directly without using any html and then not showing any of the free servers ad's which provides them with money to run the sites in the first place.
Well I have several Novell certifications and have decided,like so many others, not to maintain them anymore.
Everywhere I see sales people sell MS products even to Novell users. So it have been hard to keeping your hopes up.
In my last job, I started to shift my focus away from Novell, because I, like everybody else, can see that their customer base is getting smaller.
I like Novell and their products, they have not managed to convince me that I should keep my focusing my career on Novell. I fear that I would end up with at lot of skills for product that is not wanted.
The "fun" thing is that many techs are running away, so it is easy, where I live, to find a job if you are a skilled Novell tech. with Certifications. But who wants a job that focuses on a skill that might not be there in the future.
My first thought was that when I clicked on the "Read More" link, I would face a lot of people joking about that, Really:)
And I can see that I was right, so I am happy now, wheeeee
Yes, just like Discovery started showing all their series on high tech war machines. Just like they do now, at least where I live.
So much that I was thinking the other day that it looked like propaganda. But,, I might just be over sensitive.:)
I guess that is why going to the dentist was so much more painfull for me.:) You know they say "this should make sure you don't feel a thing". But I still feel a thousand needles poking around.
Maybe one could blind the cameras with infrared light. I know that my camcorder can see my remote control for my TV. So could you blind the cameras that way also? It's not a digital camera so I don't know how those react and I guess you could put a filter on the camera to block it out.
Well, just an idea that hit me, it's Friday and I want to go home and install FreeBSD.
Me hopes for support for my controller
on
FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Ah, I hope it will support my promise Supertrak SX6000 RAID controller.
hmm: The pst driver, for supporting Promise SuperTrak ATA RAID controllers, has been added.
Sweet. There is hope, thank you Søren Schmidt.
And ftp.freebsd.org is hosted by a local ISP, as well as the local mirror. Ah, I will have the disc in 40 minutes. yes.. Now if only I haven't drunk that bottle of wine for dinner, oh well. just makes installing that more fun.
I'm getting too old for this site. How on earth can a comment like that me so high rated? But it happens all the time. At one time, I felt like I learned something when I read the comments or got a different perspective on things. These days it just sucks so much. But then as I said, I might be getting too old for this shit.
Hmm searched Google the other day do find some fancy ways of getting Apache statistics into MRTG, and I ran into some BBC mrtg stats right on top. hmmm
Slashdot Mirror
You can checkout any time you want,
but you can never leave.
Quote the website:
"I'm quite pleased with the dome - and I finally found a use for the blue ball that appears in LEGO set 8269!
I,,,, but,,,, aaarrrghhhh... damn!
Static? hmm I have never had any noise in my cell phone, but I have also only had GSM phones since I got the first one, uuh 4-5 years ago i think.
I would not allowed to help them, If I did, I would break my "unimployed insurance" or whatever that is called in English, and not get any money.
Here's something to focus you mind on.
If Slashdot links to Slashdot, will it be slashdotted?
Dark side? There's no dark side, although I do like to listen to Pink Floyd.
I would rather have wanted the IBM Transnote
