yes but that has got nothing to do with scalability.
You are merely pointing out that windows is scriptable too, which I don't dispute but sooner or later you will need to interact with a GUI , which frankly as a sys admin I would much hope to avoid.
just to nitpick, the arabs invented the decimal system, not the zero.
Invention of zero has been a controvercy, and mainly atributed to Indians. But as an Indian, I can tell you that there could not have been one bright morning when some Indian mathematician got up and said "I give you Zero..tada".
the concept of zero has been around in most ancient civilizations, the earliest probably babilonians, who had a concept of absense of a unit, but not used as the modern zero we know of.
I once knew a guy who tried to drive his bike (at night time ) in between , what he thought were two other approaching bikes from the opposite direction.
turns out , they were headlights of a 18 wheeler, who would have thunk ? Now there's an example of a catastrophically badly designed headlight system for a 18 wheeler.
The resolution of a lens, according to optical theory is measured in lines per milimiters resolved , this is purely an optical concept (not photographical), this resolution does not depend on the size or the amount of light that passes through the lens, but rather depends on the quality of the glass , the other parameters that is measured when testing the lens is contrast . Often the characteristics of a lens are displayed as MTF graphs (resolution v/s contrast).
The second resolution is the resolution of the resultant picture which in digital world would depend on the CCD.
If the CCD resolution is higher than the lens, then no matter how good the lens is , you will not get the sharpest details. Conversely if the lens resolution is lower than the CCD, no matter how much megapixel your CCD is, you will not get sharper images beyond a certain count.
Either way the lens size is not related to the resolution of the final image, remember pin-hole cameras ?
Umm, that's why you have contracts, where you the artist sign away most of your so called rights.
There are some basic human rights that you can't just sign away, atleast a sensible court will overturn them, but this right is definitely not one of them.
When you sign that multi-million dollar deal with the recording company for them to push and market your talentless crap, you can't then just turn around and say "I have rights".
Sony should sew this person for gazillions of dollars. Look at the brighter side, may be this will make future wannabe musicians think twice before they sign such deals, and then maybe just maybe the recording industry will give us a break from shitty tasteless crap called (pop/rap/punk/rock) music.
umm, microsoft warming upto OSS is not fooling me either, I was merely pointing out, that what the parent post suggested that , "the response was nothing but PR stuff" is not correct. The guy has some valid responses, whether we like microsoft or not.
Umm, what about the stuff where they discovered a bug in GAIM talking to MSN over HTTP ?
I know it's too much too ask to RTFA, but atleast RTF Text of the submission.
Be it Microsoft or any other company, what ever that goes to the press/public has better be cleared thru PR dept. especially if it involves a sesetive issue for the company.
you can ask IBM about linux and get non PR quoted stuff, but ask them about SCO, and be sure to get a PR approved response. That's what responsible business do.
And if indeed you do want to buy a inkjet printer for photo printing.
Plase do buy one with atleast seperate cartridges.minimum 4 CYM-Bk or if possible 7 CYM-RGB-Bk. Although they cost more, in the long run it will save you a lot on ink.
but my intent was not to tell everone "don't disable SSID broadcast or don't use mac filtering",
My point was rather, that you can't call your WLAN secure , just because you took some very basic measures, and even you can concur, even script kiddies can get past these things, so just having them is not going to do any good either.
I guess what I am trying to say is security is not absolute, but a relative measure. There is no checklist that you can tick away and say OK I am now secure.
Mind you I don't recommend that you turn on SSID broadcast, or turn off mac addr. filtering, but, these options will diter only novice users from stumbling accidently on your WLAN.
But security is not about stopping these novice users, who are less likely to cause any damage in the first place, It's more about stopping someone who is really determined to get in, in order to at best steal your bandwidth or at worst do some real damage like get sensetive data from your PCs.
Not to be a troll or anything, but why is everyone freaking out so much over google maps ?
I mean it's only a map, and it's not like everyone is on the go all the time to places they don't know directions to. I know its a cool little web application , but come on.
Usually it's impossible to update the video card drivers in Linux without using the command line.
Usually it's impossible to update just the video card drivers in Windows, period. So many of these vendors now, bundle their drivers in a installation exe, which without giving me a choice install all kinds of auto-update crap , and utility *cough*spyware*cough* crap. Do I really need a s/w which phones home every 1/2 hour to check for a update for a display dirver.
For anyone who modded Parent insightful think about it for a second....
They can't kill linux, in the hobbiest circle for obvious reason, unless people start getting jailed for not using a mircosoft branded OS, I can't see geeks all over the world giving up linux, or BSD etc.
And guess what, the IT literacy is probably much higher now, than it was in the early 90s, so not all bosses/decission makeres are PHBs.
And even the PHPs can not argue against cost cutting which is something linux has been promising for a long time now and justifiably too.
Besides last time I checked linux is not some company that can be bought over in a hostile takeover.
Slashdot Mirror
PUI has that effect
How about I smack you to death with an Apple iPod.
As this is a organization we are talking about and not file names, we we should be using reg-ex rather than wildcards...So dare I suggest \w*AA
You are merely pointing out that windows is scriptable too, which I don't dispute but sooner or later you will need to interact with a GUI , which frankly as a sys admin I would much hope to avoid.
Umm, untill even they started the annoying nag screen. 7-zip all the way..
I sure as hell would, if I filled up my tank yesterday.
Umm, the concept of zero was conceived as far back as 300 bc by babilonians. http://www.mediatinker.com/whirl/zero/zero.html/. Even mayan had a concept of zero.
Invention of zero has been a controvercy, and mainly atributed to Indians. But as an Indian, I can tell you that there could not have been one bright morning when some Indian mathematician got up and said "I give you Zero..tada".

you don't seem to know the terms "media spin", or "jumping to conclusions", or "may increase the risk by upto 50%" etc.

Umm, that's just my personal opinion, not a fact. I am not judging anyone.
All your bases are belong to us..duh.

besides some thing like this makes me very doubtful about joining netflix.
who would have thunk that ?

And DON'T buy Lexmark. ever

I guess what I am trying to say is security is not absolute, but a relative measure. There is no checklist that you can tick away and say OK I am now secure.
and Some sensible advice on how really to secure it
Mind you I don't recommend that you turn on SSID broadcast, or turn off mac addr. filtering, but, these options will diter only novice users from stumbling accidently on your WLAN.

that would be agnostic
