BTW now that everybody knows about the wifi, I may as well tell you we have great coffee, food, bars, and beaches that used to be filled with really hot chicks... that is before all the geeks moved in!
So with this I will leave you the wifi, coffee, food, and bars to go follow the hotties in bikini's, anyone want to buy a house?
The hell with home service, voip, ip telephony, fsch the whole thing. Next time I need to build an enterpise class call center I will pitch a huge verizon wireless plan with a giant call forward loop for all the agents cell phones and conferencing feature for supervisors and be done with it.
The thing was wicked, I named her Domino, no not that Domino, after the Kiss song "That bitch bends over, and I forget my name" but it was more like "That bitch goes down and I forget my name" but thats splitting hairs since it only happened once, mirrored system drives apparently with a redundant failure option.... long night..... Now that I hear your story I wish I had a gun that night.....
Anyhow cheers all, I am going to pwrdwnsys *immed and call it a night.
I hope everyone realizes how important this point is. I work for a large consulting firm that deploys mostly ms servers, with a little red hat as required by our clients. Every engineer has at least one version of linux running on their laptop, as well as several sales and even management types. Nearly every engineer has at least a little novell experience and generally trusts the company (unlike ms who screws you over on lic, security, and bad updates) because novell always released a finished product (except netware 5.0 but I think most of us have forgiven them.) They are a nos company with a mainframe like mindset when it comes to product development, yes I think that is a VERY good thing for the people who depend on it. Now that novell is onboard many of us are switching (or adding because you will never get my slackware!) suse to our machines and following the news on novells other products being offered for linux servers, this will become our go to market strategy. I have not seen any reason to create a linux arm for the firm come from the red hat camp, but novell clearly does.
Hell yeah! I have been running this on several boxes as HD installs, it's great on older boxes. It runs fast on this old box next to me, P200mmx, 64megs of RAM, 2 gig HD. I put Firefox on it and use it for surfing the web. I am building a VMware session for it on my main laptop's XP partition tonight. Good luck, cheers all!
In A.D. 1989
War was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the BSOD.
Operator: We get no signal.
Captain: What, CTRL+ALT+DEL !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You !!
Gates: How are you gentlemen !!
Gates: All your b0x3n are belong to us.
Gates: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
Gates: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Gates: HA HA HA HA....
Operator: Captain !!
Captain: Take off every 'kernel hacker' !!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'Tux'.
Captain: For great operating system.
It's not hard fixing a disconnected cable, I am sure the majority of the book is probably a guide to hunting and finding lost token's (best hiding spots, migratory patterns, reactions of cornered tokens, ect)
I worked on a nine mile shoot last year going across a shipping channel. Remember that it is not like a laser, there is a cone of coverage going both directions called the fresnel zone. You must maintain at least 60% coverage in this zone to keep communications up ( check out http://www.firstmilewireless.com/calc_fresnel.html ) It is quite easy to calculate curvature of the earth, antenna height on both sides, distance between antennas, and finally how big a ship would have to be to block more than 40% of the fresnel zone and drop the connection. In a sense you are right, but it does work quite a bit better than you think.
And many of us still use the most powerful keyboard ever created, the IBM (super-clicky) Model M. The sound of these keys has been known to kill users at twenty feet and drive MCSE's mad.
Nicely put, it seems everyone has forgotten about the old "walk a mile" thing. I have met far more than my share of bad IT people, no wonder the field has this reputation. I know the messes I have had to clean up from accountants, graphics and CAD, and of course the execuative assistants, but the worst ones are always from other IT guys.
I was five when I was at the drive-in watching ANH, and I feel exactly the same way about the original trilogy. I know that there are alot of people who feel this way.
The question is this after going to opening night of every other film, and seeing all of the many times, and owning 2-3 copies of each film;
Can I bring myself to buy the ticket for epIII?
Am I going to contribute to opening weekend $?
Is it going to suck more than every one before?
I already know the answer to these questions, but at least I won't support the webcam!
The first telco wiring was bundles of copper lines, one pair per phone call (anyone see that picture of San Fran circa 1930 where you nearly couldn't see the water through the lines?) The second phase of telco life was TDM, one wire pair=one T1 with 24 paths and a path was created on the fly across one of these "channels." Now packet switching city to city is really the current answer, I don't see us going back to installing thousands of miles of copper in a city or installing TDM technology anywhere but to the doorstep.
I have been installing VOIP, VOFR, and IP Telephony for years now for many businesses, I have lots of 99.999% uptime systems, no complaints in almost two years for quality of voice, I can't believe/.ers are amazed and puzzled by such simple things as a forty year old idea being used by a carrier. I guess/. isn't what it used to be.
Jedi's just need a good lobby to get theaters to play all the episodes in rotation along with THX1138 once in a while, and install bathrooms that have robe friendly urinals! If anything the low cost of maintaining "Jedi" as a religion should encourage the Canadian government to embrace this idea. When I give my two cents on things like this, why do I always get change?
What really makes this cool is integrating it with Personal Assistant. For example you could tell your outlook that during your next meeting you want to ring forward your main extension to a wireless phone only if it is from your wifes cell phone or your bosses extension otherwise send to voice mail. During lunch forward all inside calls to your cell phone so nobody knows you are out of the office. After lunch forward all calls to the wireless phone for the rest of the day since you will want to break away from the internal meeting that will last the rest of the day. I have been waiting for this phone for some time, I just hope it has a good belt clip.
I do believe that you are correct in your statements, and I do hope that this gets the attention it deserves. However I intended my statement to reach the average person I encounter who believes in their heart that they are not really breaking the law. Students are the best target for the RIAA and many of them won't think that this is for real until it touches them directly. We need to educate the people targeted by these laws, and the people who voted to create these laws.
"Our Information Technology department, upon receiving this letter, contacted your office twice by phone (leaving messages for Jonathon Whitehead) and three times by e-mail in an effort to update our reference materials and procedures with you." Read between the lines, you schools are not out to save you. Here is proof they are working with the RIAA and the RIAA is looking to "set examples"
General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Browser
Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Duke of Nukem.
I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in
person, but my isp connection has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission
to bring Duke to Linux has failed. I have placed information vital
to the survival of the code into the memory systems of this x86
unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this boxen
safely delivered to the free people running free software. This is our most desperate hour.
Help me, ObiWan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Easy broken down into 9 littler chapters for those MCSE's still out there.
I can't agree more, Doyle's TCP/IP I&II are two of the best books I have ever read. Don't mod me funny, I am not kidding.

VOX is an old term that covered any Voice Over type (ip, frame relay, atm, whatever) and it sounds cooler than voip or v,o,i,p.
Soon the only thing left at SCO will be roaches and suits sitting on piles of cash.

a nice modern twist on one of my favorite Thomas Paine writings, mostly because its short with lots of small words.

For successfully referencing both Dr. Strangelove and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in one sentence, very nice!
