  1. Re:No Enterprise Offerings on Why Apple Doesn't Market Squarely To Businesses · · Score: 1

    Very true! + K and type in vnc://computer.local (or domain if you're on one of those) and it's great! But with the extra abilities to remotely run scripts with Apple Remote Desktop, it's almost priceless in comparison to running them manually over a network drive by using the default VNC.

  2. Re:Remove automatic updates from your slipstream on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    Those who are going through the trouble of slipstreaming their systems are already going through enough of a mess to get it done right. This list is small in comparison to some of the ones I've seen.

  3. Re:Note to self: clone hard disk before rebooting on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened to me with a kernel update on CentOS5 last week. Now this week when updating XP. I'm terrified of the update OS X has waiting for me at home :(

    As someone who's been running linux since slackware came on floppy disks, I was confused as hell when I sat in front of XenServer too.

    Someone who needs application software for which there is no reasonable Linux/Unix equivalent. Such software includes mid-range accounting systems and point of sale systems.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Windows isn't going away until Sage come out with a Linux version

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again too. Windows isn't going away until games come out with a linux version first, then windows/osx second. I'm talking about blizzard, steam games etc etc...

    I do the same thing with steam and half-life: counter-strike. the funny part is when I tell people I run cs on linux they think i'm hacking ;\ but hey at least I can use the X11 quick screen resolution change hotkey to zoom in for those pistol kills ;)

  7. Re:*always* connected? on Blizzard Previews Revamped Battle.net · · Score: 1

    Could always have your firewall block and play in offline mode. It's not like they'll prevent it like Steam tried to, right?

    Not only that but they have a blatant misunderstanding of how other jurisdictions work. Product Y is made in state A is illegal here, so it's now illegal everywhere. Wtf is that?

    This is what happens in a "progressive" society that's trying to remove morals from our society completely.

  12. Re:Telemarketer solution on The DIY $10 Prepaid Cellphone Remote Car Starter · · Score: 1

    I did this with my first gen iPhone jailbroken and unlocked using t-mobile and using iBlacklist, essentially allowing only my number to dial in and make a noise/vibration. It's an amazing little hack.

    Good thing Eddy Izzard isn't doing this. The drag on that freefall would be like Mary Poppins floating with her parasol! Also: EI rocks!

    I'm not sure why you were modded to troll, but it is a legitimate concern for many people. Even though I think the bios needs to die a quick painful death yesterday and move to something better.

    If that's really the only reason let me introduce you to youtube-dl, found here: http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home . It certainly beats installing flash on my desktop (linux) so firefox can view the file. I use it like this: ./youtube-dl -b -t $url. The bash script is "/usr/bin/youtube-dl.sh -b -t %1" so you can do "$ youtube $url" ;)

    I wish people in our government were sane. But with the "requirement" people see to cater to every feeling and emotion of the express loud mouth minority this isn't possible.

    if you haven't figured out how to lock down and customize a firefox profile with a custom build and ADM templates, you need to catch up with the times. also, blocking outbound SSH from within the disallowed subnet isn't terribly difficult and watching outbound port connections to find violators. ;) rst or simply blackhole the ip/domain ;)

  24. Re:What? on Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights? · · Score: 1

    Very well put. It's frustrating that people can't see beyond the limitations that are in place having been proven to be effective at minimizing anyones downtime in said production environments. Especially in large shops. Then again, local admin can be given on a case by case basis temporarily or even selected admin functions with proper GPO's without leaving a sour aftertaste in the lead admin's mouth.

    If you're such a good developer you'd know what to install before hand and have it requested. Discovering you need the debugger in the middle of your project? What are you, in high school?
