Yes. But these people are from Treasury Department. They must have had some sort of ID card hanging off their necks - how would someone random got into IRS offices and pull off scam like this? Do they have security guards in that building?
You don't know what you're talking about. Windows shares are presented over the network through SMB protocol, regardless of the local file system on Windows machine Linux smbclient can do with them anything you want it to do.
I appreciate what you're saying. What I question is the relevance of going through all the trouble acquiring 'general knowledge' in a form of advanced university degree in this case. That thing is not cheap, either.
I doubt she'd ever get a job there if things at HP were not screwed already. On the other hand, she and companies of that size and importance are special - too much politics is involved, so it's possible that good political ties would have landed her a job anyway.
Back to 'Ask Slashdot' question - I believe that first and foremost one has to figure out in what other fields is he really interested. Having a degree for the sake of having it does not do any good to anybody - CS major with MBA but without any interest in business or the company that hired such a candidate.
I also believe that, contrary to popular opinion, MBA is too broad and too general to be very useful in day-to-day struggles of making the money. I'd rather go for a specialist accounting diploma (tax, procurement/assets, financials...). Then again, only if I had a real interest in business operations.
I never understood this argument. Why would someone who runs Linux ever want to write to the NTFS file system?
Want dual boot to only play games? Install Windows on a bloody FAT32 partition. Dependent on Word / Excel macros, CAD aplication, Access database? Buy Cross Over Office and run apps on Linux if you can or just run Windows.
This is total bullshit. Install stock XP, go to Windows update site and see how many critical updates are there for you. Now choose SP2 as a first one to install. Reboot, go to update site again, check how many critical fixes are waiting for you now.
Last time I did it it was 43:8 SP2:XP.
However, let's just say you give default installs of XP SP2 and your choice of recent Linux distro to two equally "non-technical-unable-to-think-run-every-exe-attac hment" users to do with them their usual stuff. Guess which machine will be compromised (virus, spyware, worm, root, whatever) first. I'll call any bet you put down. You?
Here's the one side of the story. That guy is doing pretty good job of building rpms, so his and other compatible ones is what I use. Never had any issues with them.
All those issues are long gone. Getting mp3 support is a matter of installing single rpm. All 3 desktops (Gnome, KDE and XFCE) are very solid. Repositories are fine, albight there are some that should not be mixed (livna and dag's one). Hell, if you could bare 7.0 and 8.0 issues, I reckon you made a mistake by not being patient enough. FC3 is awesome distro.
Can you please explain how are power users disadvantaged in terms of flexibility if they chose FC3 as a distro over Debian, Gentoo or Slack? What is it that they can do with any of those distributions and not with Fedora? I am really curious to find out.

No issues with HD. And don't worry, here is the quick howto, it's pretty straight forward.
Ah, well...
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
The thing that scares me the most is that it's like this around the whole fucking world.

The scarry thing about this is that it doesn't affect America only, it's around the whole fucking world.
It's spelled Emacs, not Eunuchs.

Easy dude. I was talking about his wife. My better half is using normal computer.
Trouble is, she has iMac. Not enough buttons.
Fool.

In other words, you'd make savings on alchohol and light drugs.

Would you please elaborate a bit more on this one? Is it what I think it is, or you have some other OS in mind?
E would also tell you how Gentoo is the easiest to install - takes only 3 commands.
What are those 'seasons' you're talking about?

Acquisition went so well that they are now thinking about acquiring Conectiva, as well.
Can you imagine the level of hilarity (this is the correct word?) produced tomorrow after dupe of this story appears on Slashdot front page?

You must be new here :o)

Please learn to spell - it's M1CR0$OFt
Yes because 42 is not a good choice, since it's too obvious.
