Are you agreeing with me vehemently or did you miss the anticedent 'printing device' to the pronoun 'its' in "then feeds it off to the printing device at its speed"?
Well, sure they will, but that's not typically what you'd call a spooler. At least in my experience, a spooler is a device which takes the print job as fast as the client can send it then feeds it off to the printing device at its speed.
Name me one print spooler that can feed print to an HP laser printer at 100 Mbps. Read the specs on your printers. You will see the 'spooler' catches the data at network speed, but that is not the speed of transmission to the printer. There aren't any 100MB printers out there. Somewhere the data MUST be buffered. A text version of the encyclopedia wouldn't be 100 MB. If you transmitted that at a 100MBps and it printed as it received it would need a 2000 page per second print engine. I have impressive canon printers and they do 85 PPM duplex.
Not to mention if he runs any decent sized company before he puts the Axis into use it would need to be approved by an analyst.
As analysts we all know that if he runs ANY size company, he should get the item approved. However, if he truly runs it he doesn't NEED anybodys approval. Just thought I would mention that as it is a common bite to have owners throw junk technology into your network.
I have never had an issue with an Axis box that couldnt be fixed without factory resetting it. I am guessing you didnt spend any real amount of time with the Axis box.
Glad it went well for you. I don't ever factory reset my print servers, if that has to happen they are not production quality. You might just as well spend 10$ on a POS Kingston server for that level of reliability. You are correct I spent precious little time with that garbage.
Axis is way to flakey. If you need three boxes to reliably do a one box job, it is NOT a solution. Hp, Fiery and Linux - hell there are even a couple of good lpd servers for XP but not Axis. I found that they were not even worth the return shipping for a refund. No lie, I threw them away.
I think most of the respondents here are missing the point when they recommend a cheap COTS print spooler - they rarely have the rate limiting feature you need.
No, they actually do have that. If you have a paralell HP Jetdirect for example, it will not be printing at 100 Mbs it will print at 9600 or 19200 but you can change that by teneting into the box and changing it. The interface is simple. All print servers will do that.
Read this over and be sure that you understand what it does before you try it, better yet see if you can find it independently. Applying a registry patch from/. would be silly in the extreme. Here is the registry entry:

I have used seti@home since 2000 on the same 3 computers. Two of them have had HD replacements which probably were due at least in part by cache activity from the seti@home program, but three years is also close to what I put as a HD life cycle. No procs were killed in the writing of this post.
(associated press AP reporting) In a stunning development, the justice department has enacted legislation which effectively places the computer industry on a "feature freeze". Feature freeze is a computer industry term which is usually applied to software when it is near mature enough to release. The feature freeze act of 2004 is empowered by the DOJs expanded Antiterrorist powers and was sponsored by Microsoft Computer Corporation. Microsoft spokeswoman, Ima Lamer, had this to say about it "The computer industry presents to much of a moving target to make effective and secure OS software. The companies (and open source projects) responsible for this rapidly changing landscape basically create an atmospere ripe for e-terrorists"
Pres. Bush had this to say "Who is open source, can we bomb their villages"
Under this new legislation, any company or group of developers responsible for implementing any new technology prior to Microsofts 2006 launch of longhorn will be sent to Guantanemo.
I'd be interested to see what those obligations were. If it is as bad as that sounds, I wonder if VeriSign could lose their Registrar priviledges as a result.
They will bring in homeland security. We will consider anyone who messes with DNS to be an enemy as well as anyone who harbors the people responsible.
That is a heck of an assumption on your part. You know that he is a student, that is all. I have a programmer working for me with 20 yrs exp. he is currently going for his associates in CS, is he entry level? This guy that made the post is running his own project, his credentials in this case are a minor negotiating point. The big point is that corporation X wants HIS application. Market value is based on supply and demand you do not have supply / demand/experience. He can negotiate from a position of weakness as you seem to think he should and maybe get a job. Or he can come in with the strength of already knowing that they want his product and use that as a basis to found an ongoing development which may be quite lucrative if played right.
I disagree. As a decision maker in a company (more influencer than maker) I report to an older MIS director who has feared bringing Linux in at all. His fear was based on the fact that his perception of Linux folk was long haired trash talking freaks...despite the fact that I advocated bringing it in and do not match the description....well, I have short hair anyway;-)
We use Sco Unixware to run our Main CRM apps. The director has been following the controversy and a few weeks back when I said that we needed to do better security auditing he (quite out of character) said "Can't Linux do that" So I got Linux running along with MANY great tools on our network. Then our Sco server hiccuped and our Sco guru came out and preached Scos case and the director told me later "The linux developers seem to be attempting due dilligence and the Sco guys are just freaks. Can our apps run on Red Hat?" You tell me....
Who looks bad now?
The Mank was insightful? Insight is usually conveyed with carefully crafted sentences, that is clue one. Clue two, 12 yr olds talk a lot like the "Christian Mank" writes" Finally, why the Ransom Love Vitriol?
World's first physical DDoS- if enough linux geeks show up, everyone else will want to leave, either because they'll be obnoxious, or look like something out of a cross between an RMS-lookalike-contest and a anti-globalism protest- and smell like one(take your pick on whether tear gas is a curse or a blessing with that crowd).
Sounds like personal guilt, take a shower. The last few times "Linux" geeks have shown up to "evangelize" at my company they wore shirts and ties and carried "Thinkpads".
Are we going to let HP think that it's okay to back SCO.
I sure am. I think it would be cool if Compaq tech support started answering their phones like this:
"HP Compaq Tech support, a tiny division of a Big Blue Monolith. How can I help you?"

SUS is cute but try to push a Service Pack with it.
It is cute and Service pack support was announced a few weeks back. I used it to push XP SP1 to 3 dozen new laptops without a hitch
Any ideas anyone?

Naming it Netscape for name recognition? Is that a variation of the "Good idea" theme? Remember a variation of a good idea is "not a good idea".

That depends on the status of your SCO license.

Evangelizing and protesting, which is what it would be if zealots showed up at one of these things, are two entirely different things.
Not in the board room they're not. Both result in

What should I ask SCO when I'm there if I get a chance to ask one question?
Ask what tcp/ip stack they use in their proprietary "IP".
yeah but if they ask for you email address and you give it to them, it is not spam anymore.
Click on the links that say "To remove yourself from this list...." That seems sure to get you spammed.
