Act as a Domain COntroller for my home network (Windows PC's)
Host web application I am testing. Comes with PHP, MySQL, APACHE, other stuff
Web filtering (ala DansGuardian)
IMAP Mail available for each local user account
External Access to IMAP with IMP from HORDE that comes preinstalled
Web administration panel
Absolutely awesome product that I really recommend. It has worked for me better than I imagined.
New Zealand Post does something similar

Snail Mail As E-Mail

As a service, New Zealand Post, the major National Postal service will scan all your mail, collate and archive the Paper and deliver only the electronic version (PDF, TIFF) to you by email or CD every day. They can intercept mail that meets specific criteria (Forms, etc).
A PDA that you can scroll the screen out to a decent size and when finished scroll it up and back into your pocket.

As an structural engineer currently doing Data and Business Analysis I must respond. The current trend with buildings including materials and costings is going to bit people in a few years. Here in New Zealand we have the Leaky Building Syndrome where the introduction of new materials and methods (and in a lot of cases dodgy developers) has caused a major water integrity problem with new structures.
So what, engineers may want to build things a bit more rhobust and this will blow out the cost in the short term but in the long term . .
A similar argument can be made in regard to insulating houses. Yes, a well insulated house with Double Glazing will add cost to your house initially. However, over the life of the building the comfort and savings in energy can far outweigh the initial cost. TCO.
In regards to the initial question it sounds like the poster is doing the right thing. Trying to convey his conceptual ideas to the architect.
Now I can recommend some clients move their entire office from Windows to Linux. The only stumbling block has been Access as this is their main production tool.
Let the MS Access flames begin.
Hey, I could even bring in a box and show it working alongside their windows boxes. Cool.

Knoppix 3.2 Available

NONE - Yes, thats right. KNOPPIX does not need any hard drive space.
Read some of the earlier posts about why people use Knoppix - Trial of Linux, PC Support, Your personal interface wherever you go.
I was not watching my 4 year old closely enough on our family PC. We are all amazed at the way he can move the mouse accurately, type the words in MS Word, play the games but . ..
When you discover he has opened WIndows Explorer and MOVED the Program Files folder (I am sure it was that folder). I was able to remedy the problem but I counted he would have to click the OK buttom some 27 times to do what he did. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
As an aside my 13 year old is starting to learn GIMP and I am sure in the next 3 months will surpass my limited skills in that application.
I am from New Zealand which is supporting the USA in the war on terrorism (Our troops are in Afghanistan)
I can take part in a mature and reasoned discussion without lashing out in immature ways ( ..well this is/.)
As a very brave AC please respond and explain why it is okay to complain about SPAM from Asia and not SPAM from the USA? I look forward to your eloquent and explative free response.
Bad Taste - Filmed on the weekends (I understand). Favourite bit are "The Boys" with a Ford Capri and the giant Warfdale speakers in the back seat.
Braindead - For those who have seen this, when I walked out of the theatre, down the stairs, it was almost exactly the same layout as the huge gore scene in the house.
Peter Jackson usually makes a cameo appearance in his films. In "The Frighteners" with Michael J Fox he is in the scene where the dork husband has just died and is following Michael J Fox up the street (I am quite sure). Big Bearded Guy.
Every copy of the magazine had a bootable Linux distro (with some apps removed for space). There were some very positive comments from first time users.
Two months before the PC World distro I downloaded Knoppix and tried it out on my 2 PC's here at home. On my daughters PC it detected everything. On my PC it would not detect sound but hey, I had a great time discovering Linux for the first time. Still couldn't get my cable modem to work but I know I can one day. I wouldn't have tried Linux otherwise.
Now I have downloaded 2 other distro's of Linux. I have entered play mode due to my experience with Knoppix. Time to set up a server at home.
I have a new work opportunity at a clients office. I need to bring a my own PC workstation. It needs to be runnning a web server (Apache) and database (mysql) for an idea we want to develop. I am going to build a Linux box that runs on their windows network. The fact I am even trying this is due to playing with Knoppix. I may even use Knoppix for this as I know it can be run from a HD also.
The whole review is total CRAP!!! Check out this review of the comparison. It sums up the whole situation pretty well. There was no optimisation - it was a stacked deck against J2EE
Na, that's okay. The vast hordes of wankers stop most people wanting to even go there.
Careful there and use the proper english, not slang please. Most USians dont understand the term wanker, well thats according to Phil Collins when talking about his cameo roles on Miami Vice.

As I understand it one of the first generation of car alarms could be adjusted bu turning a small dial (after removing the cover). Apparently walking down the road with your finger on the button and turning the dial with a small screwdriver was quite efficient
I have stumbled into the GIS area. I had background in analysis, reporting and knew a reasonable amount about property (I now know more)
You having some JAVA experience, have a look at ESRI's offerings that have JAVA components.
This area is starting to develop. Where I am they are using ESRI products to develop an intranet GIS system that will also display associated data from whatever datasource they want (Sybase, Informix, etc). Currently in beta, they have developed to display data from two seperate SYBASE databases all using JAVA. Awesome potential.
Yes and we all know the majority of people dont get enough exercise. It is free maybe we will just burn a few more calories.
Now, what about gyms providing cradles for mobile phones so the can be cranked by exercycles. Your workout would fully charge the phone.
I read about a system for lighting using white leds charging batteries for third world houses to have some light at night. The system was charged by pedal power.
Get fit, less fat and have a constantly charged cellphone.
I am starting to see this more and more. The process for implementing a business application seems to be:
Get sold on a product by a vendor
Convince everyone else in-house it will do the job
Make your business processes fit the product
Put up with a solution that meets 50-70% of your actual Business requirements.
I have recently seen the model for one organisation where the technical solution is located WELL below the Leadership and other management and workflow processes.They actually implemented a solution to . . . here it comes . . meet their actual needs.
Why is it so hard to get management to see the benefits of proper process in implementing a proper solution?
You could do a demonstration. Remove 2 or 3 harddrives and "Pretend" they were stuffed. Leave it for the reaction and then suggest a change. Nothing like a shock to get them thinking.
In our case we came up with ways to improve the workflow and reduce lost files. You have to make it simpler for them (And there will be ways).
We created a logical directory structure on our server that could accommodate all of our job and administration related files and a naming convention. eg 2962re03.doc is the 3rd report for job 2962 located in the path i:\jobfiles\isp\2900\2962\2962re03.doc
Additionally, I wrote some macros for MS Word so users could click the custom SAVEor OPEN button, enter the 4 digit job number in the Pop-Up box and it automatically browsed to the correct directory. No more tree browsing - Then we had complete buyin.
As we dealt fully with Job Numbers it became faster to open and save using the custom buttons than using word Open/Save.
Took a few brainstorming sessions and some sensible thinking but this eliminated the need to buy a File Documentation software install.

Almost all my SPAM comes from USA. Should I block USA IPs?
Does anyone have a study covering the world and identifying the origin of SPAM. I think you would find most is from the good old USA.

If I believe a software company has used my copyrighted work can I attack their server to slow it down? Denial of service time with the law behind me?
Write some software, copyright it and attack whoever is in your sights. Then you can LEGALLY attack whomever you choose without going to court.
