PR is what Walkers are doing to a friends 9 year old nephew... they've said they'll buy a dialysis machine for her.
If she can get her weight in crisp packets.
WTF? If they can afford to buy it, then they should be buying it, however many crisp packets she can get together, instead of leaving the family wondering weather they'll get the packets in time.

Thankyou! A voice of sanity! (I'm sure there are others, but this is the first I saw)
Sure, this protection system could be used to spy on people. So can cameras, microphones, computers, hubs, and people in the street. You're not rushing to outlaw them.
Come on people... do you *really* think your interesting enough for the government to want to know where you are 24/7?
Ok, so I'll admit to being kinda surprised when I saw it done the first time (by a usually non-technical person I know, who hated the noise of her computer so much she had the guts to open it up, and line the interior with foam padding... and also spend £50 on a low-noise fan and heatsink), but I didn't think it was/. material... but then things are always obvious just after you find out about them.
That doesn't make it the ideal language to use for those programs.
The IM programs are certainly good candidates for higher level languages, since most of what they do is text parsing - and I know that at least myself would do some work on GAIM if I could.
He said it's no longer viable for application level programming... Linux and XFree are certainly not application level, and argubly the Mozilla core isn't either (the front end is, but you could wrap the Gecko API for some other language to create that).
However when it comes to passwords most of the people on a corporate network will be, and it doesn't have to be *your* password I crack, just *a* password.
Well, since we're pimping open source web based groupware...
I'm a big fan of Horde, it's a bit of a PITA to get setup the first time round (lots of config files around the place), but once that's done, it's fabulous software.
I'd lose my job if someone found out that I'd picked inferior software on a moral issue (unless of course it was hand coded by a 3 year old kid in a sweat shop).
Management couldn't give a monkeys about the license. They just want to know that when they click Send & Receive, it will indeed Send & Receive. Every time.
Intellimouse... no. I much prefer the Logitech cordless optical sat on my desk, which fits in the hand perfectly.
However the MS natural keyboard, now *that's* a piece of hardware. I'm sure I'll get bombarded with comments about how it only deals with one ergonomic feature, when it shoud deal with 42 and a half, but I like it, and other people can type on it without too much trouble.
The "Netscape Staff" and "Mozilla peeps" are often the same people... and you want to thank someone for an awesome browser, that would be Netscape your thanking, for open sourcing their product.
I've not done it before, so excuse me if this sounds like a troll...
If you're NATing from port 80 to port 1234... doesn't the user still have the ability to do whatever they wanted to do your web server, since they're connected now.
Except NAT screws with the packets... which shouldn't have to be done unless you explicitly need them screwed with for something other than routing.
NAT has caused me no end of problems, all of which would be solved by real IPs on all the boxes (which for the trolls out there, isn't a security hazard... firewalls will still work).
And out here in the real world, we put services on well known ports for precisely the reason they are called "Well Known" - I certainly don't expect people looking for a companies website to remember their port number as well.

Well... I can't be completely certain, but it is someone I know personally, so I'm fairly sure.
Nope, that's not PR.

Am I the only one in this thread who's noticed that the orginal poster asked for advice working on the basis that they're using Outlook.
Last I checked, typing chroot into a command prompt on a Windows box resulted in a blank stare.
I'll second that, I did a test install on a workstation at work, and it now suffers much more random crashes.
;)
Guess my work box needed a copy of Linux on it anyway though
Chicken.

Wow! Is that a Slashdot editor reading and replying to comments?
Sorry if this is actually very common, I don't usually spend any time in the games section.
Huh? At a guess all the club members joined the club - how else would they be club members?
Congratulations. You are not a retard.
However when it comes to passwords most of the people on a corporate network will be, and it doesn't have to be *your* password I crack, just *a* password.
I always wondered how they do that.
Not enough to actually research it obviously, but I wondered none the less.

Well *I'm* not using it until I can have it open source.
Under the GPL license.
(And make sure it's then called GNU/Linux/[Vi|Emacs|Nano]/NaDa)

I'll second that, I'm using PEAR DB on several high traffic websites, and while it is slightly slower, it's also a lot more friendly to use.
Does it really matter what order you get cookies?
My guess is they won't be used the moment the come down the pipe.

Painfully?
Every copy allows two terminal server sessions for administrator access without wheeling out the monitor.

Well there sure as hell not going to use my bandwidth to make money from other people *without* paying me.
