Hah... in my town they fucked us over by yanking analog HBO and forcing you to upgrade to digital cable if you want it. Extortion, really, but I couldn't resist --- I can't go a weekend w/o seeing The Sopranos and/or Sarah Jessica Parker's bony ass. Plus, more channels!:)
It is the proprietary software makers problem that he didn't release the source code.
This is what I'm talking about. It sounds like they "have" to release their code for it to work -- once again, not their problem. Windows 3.1 apps still run on my WinXP machine w/o a problem. I've never had my hands on the code. Perhaps there is a better solution than releasing the code... hmmm??
You know Notes/Domino runs on many different not Windows OSes, including Linux.
You know, Notes/Domino reminds me of Outlook/Exchange.... coming out my ass!
The company I worked at this past summer was just finishing their umm... I'm gonna say 50,000 client migration of Notes to Exchange. Not an easy task, but it was for the better, trust me.
So let's see, you're creating the problem yourself by locking yourself into an incompatible OS, but are trying to blame others. This is like me complaining that Mac programs don't run natively on Windows.
Three solutions: 1) Write a client yourself 2) Use Windows 3) You're Fucked
Well there is a 4th.... does your company have a Windows Terminal Server? You could run outlook on that.
Why is it when the open source people make changes that break application software, it's automatically the fault of the closed-source software writers? Jesus Christ, just don't make changes that break software!
This is why it takes MS a month to release security patches. The patch itself could be out in a few hours (they have a 24-hour security team), but they spend the rest of that time testing it on every configuration possible to make sure it doesn't break other software.
He's just doing his little part to "bring down the infidels!" He's brainwashing his family into becoming pinko commies such as himself. Most likely, he's the "computer guy" in the family, and let loose with some ludicrous bullshit such as "If you install M$ (don't forget the dollar sign) on your computer it will catch fire! And it will e-mail your social security number, credit card numbers(s) and your personal information to Microsoft so they can rip you off! And it will load virusen (note spelling) on your computer so they can h4x0R you!! Plus, they don't give you the blueprints to their software, so that just pisses me off!"
Kind of reminds me of this linux-obsessed professor I have - he makes us do our programming in a special Linux lab; of course, half the fucking computers don't boot Linux correctly, and the other half give you errors-a-plenty in X.
My IE blocks pop-ups. With a plug-in, of course. See, if Microsoft added pop-up blocking to IE, they get caught between a rock and a hard place---someone will cry that they are overstepping their monopoly power by driving all the mom-and-pop pop-up blockers into oblivion, and since it's not open source, they might have a case. Mozilla does the same thing, but since it's open source, I think the people have less of a case that "they're trying to drive me out of business!"
It took me a while, but I found a pop up blocker (PopupPopper) that is free as in beer -- no ads, nada.
The latest IE versions, if you have "enough" memory by an algorithm that it determines, open each window (not it's children) in a separate process. No, it won't kill explorer.exe.
Eep, shoulda read the article. But I didn't mean like Gateway's Country stores... Dell for a while was selling them in retail stores like Office Max and Office Depot. That appearently didn't work out.
They should have taken a lesson from Gateway... this doesn't work! Also, didn't they try and sell a line of computers retail (I forget the name of the system, it was smiilar to IBM's NetVista) and it went down the tubes?
Let's take a snippet from a random Olin student's (your) blog, shall we?
Reading Slashdot clues me in on several technological innovations and generally cool things. Sean and I are plotting to get Olin on Slashdot. That would be good, even if it would kill our servers. The hype alone would generate new applicants almost certainly. Keep your eyes peeled.
OK, sorry for the interruption, but if you're plotting to get anything on Slashdot, I think it's safe to say you haven't talked to that half female student body yet.
I babysat for four hours today. Mark Somerville's two daughters and I ran around Needham Center in the park there. We would have played with the children statues running in a circle, but had poured new concrete underneath them. After that we watched the Blue's Clues DVD, guest starring, of all people, Ray Charles. Luckily they don't have a TV to watch at home (which probably is a boon to their development), so they watched very intently, making my job all the easier.
Jesus Christ. Blues Clues is, last I checked, a show for 5 year olds. Also, if you are one of those psycho learning-obsessed people that thinks television is the devil's tool for corrupting young minds (since you seem to agree with this), I now (two times over) really need to tell you that you have some growing up to do.
I think totally engineering-centric schools are a BAD idea, and I'm in engineering school. You need some diversity. Going to a big school allows this, it let's you acquaint yourself to the real world. Olin and other similar small engineering-only schools is like high school all over again. Sure everyone that graduates from there may be smart, but by the time they graduate, they'll be social outcasts.
When it was time to apply to college, I actually nursed the idea of applying to this school, after all the posters and free shit they sent me in the mail. Until, of course, I came to my senses and realized that it will make MIT look like Florida State.
I actually go to a great school now (30,000+ attendance) where I get a top of the line education, yet get to socialize with liberal arts girls, party if I want to --- all things from the "college experience" that help you become a well rounded individual street-smarts wise. These guys from FWO will be as well rounded as a home-schooled college student, if you can think of such a thing. I'm surprised if they'll ever see female genitalia in their life. Sure they may be the college of the future -- but hey, they may figure out how to have sex without intercourse! (Anyone remember Demolition Man with the wireless helmets and all? Kind of reminds me of the Coneheads and the sens-0-rings... ahh, my mind is in the gutter:-)
I use Bayden PopupPopper. I've tried them all, and found this one to be the least resource intensive. When a site attempts a pop-up, you get a small transparent window that asks you if you want to add this domain to your friends list, blacklist it, or to allow/deny just that popup. It also has a cool feature that will block all popups if you turn on Scroll Lock (Finally a good use for the key, since like Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS, circa 1980s!) Oh yeah, free as in beer.
If your cooling fluid is hotter than your CPU, it's not cooling anymore, so you have a big problem (actually, the temperature of the CPU will just raise until either it melts or it's hotter enough than your cooling fluid to create a new thermal equilibrium).

But they keep saying... MySQL is best at SELECTs!
This guy thinks he can do it with a hand full of parts from Radio Shack.

You've obviously never worked in a mission-critical corporate environment.
4 blatant spelling mistakes in two short sentences. Is that too much to fix in backSlash? I mean, it only takes 5 seconds of your time.

Is there anybody out there actually using MS Exchange scheduling tool? I haven't heard or seen any so far.
Me. Every day.

Just more pro-Open Source FUD.

1) Why would lab workstations be running IIS?
2) Do you even know what Active Directory is?

Remote administration plus the flexibility are a must.
It is of my opinion that remote admin is a no-no in a secure environment.

Yeah, this guy needs internet access. Uh-huh. For what, lawn tractor upgrades?

Not if you own an Intel CPU...
(hint: look at the second picture)
Use AIX or Solaris... so maybe they were wasting their time?
Don't forget VML - the Vector Markup Language!
