I bought 'C++ Primer 3rd Edition' a couple of months ago.
I'm new to C++ but not new to computer languages.
I'm finding this box a dream to read, I think the previous posters paste says it all, but I highly recommend this book to somebody that wants to learn C++.
An easy to use Directory Service that: * childsplay to install * hides the LDAP schema from admins that don't need to know * a GUI / web console to add, delete, alter LDAP attributes * easy integration into the O/S with a few file changes: PAM modules * is easier to get going than OpenLDAP
I hope that the new Fedora project will do something like this, I saw the admin toolkit but no source is available yet, only binary packages - since I run gentoo i'll wait... Might be interesting!
Apple being the only company that doesnt act evil on Slashdot should take a look at itself.
They claimed that bringing the radio to the ipod would add complexity that users "don't want".
Well, I'd prefer to listen to FREE radio broadcasts than pony up yet cash to yet another service provider.

What a waste of time. No pun intended.
I think Time summed up the waste of time based on the fact that 2 guys thought that a few classics "didnt do it for them" - this isnt a "top 100" then.
For a more reliable list of top movies based on the average medium of voters, goto IMDB Top 250
1) Just get rid of all junk food in school canteens. 2) Only deal with food distributors that embrace healthy eating. 3) Get rid of soft drink vending machines - period. (replace with water & fruit juice)
Loving firefox, flexibility of Extentions with stuff like mouse gestures makes browsing an absolute pleasure.
Everytime I jump into IE - only for corporate web apps that are standards broken, I feel the experience is slow in terms of mouse movements and also from a security point of view.
The main motivation for plugins to be created under IE are for commerical reasons, thus the average joe will suject themselves to possible security issues, viruses, and spam.
Its great that also IBM is stepping up support internally for Firefox.
I remember when was I was in my teens (15 years ago) I used to love reading about the latest hardware advances.
These days you'd find me hard pressed to get excited about anything hardware related. I have a fast system with lots of ram and a decent GPU, and thats all folks.
Much prefer to pay a raging teen money to build the damn thing for me.
Do people find themselves as they get older more interested in software design, algorithms, and licensing debates?
Once I heard about a new notifer system I started to get a bit excited.
What would be nice is:
A system that detects when I insert any USB device, and it knows if its a filesystem drive - and mount it! Pops up a bubble or something in my GUI to let me knows its under control.
When new hardware is inserted, whatever interface, my desktop notifies me - and tells me its been configured and installed.
Ballmer: we've been working hard to find more bits for some time now
Press: so what exactly was found?
Ballmer: well i'm not entirely sure, you see everyone has been raving about us lacking in the bits in our products
Press: so what did you actually do about it?
Ballmer: we simply acquired the bits we were missing from our product offerings, various high profile acquisitions were conducted to ensure all bits were accounted for
Press: can you tell us preciously who was acquired ?
Ballmer: that would be telling, however I can say that I don't have the slightest idea what all this means, our customers have just been saying "give us more bits!" - we firmly believe we've been innovating for 20 years to continuly improve our products to contain more bits, or features as you will.
Press: Steve, I don't think you understand what you're talking about
Ballmer: we firmly believe we've been innovating for 20 years to continuly improve our products to contain more bits, or features as you will.
Press: you just said that, do you have anything more to add?
Ballmer: we now have more bits than the rest of the software vendor industry!
Slashdot Mirror
Several years huh - I'm just a novice but have decided on wx at present.
If you have the opporunity again would you consider using QT instead?
How long did it take you to gain enough understanding to design something in wx?
How much of the C++ language do you think one should know to start plowing away an application?
Cheers!
If you're after something that is a cross platform GUI toolkit, non commerical / commerical with LPGL license might i suggest Wxwidgets.
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
I have been using wx for a few months and love it.
Cross platform (Win32, MacOSX, Linux).
Very mature (12 years old) platform filled with lots of classes for most things you could think of.
And the seller point, no need to give away your source if you want to write something commercially at zero cost.
This doesnt mean QT isn't any good, but Wx has been around longer and really fills a need - try it out!
I'm using a Windows development platform Dev-C++ with all the hooks of wx: http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
Doesn't look like it made it into this release :-(
A quick list of functions and examples, looks very Bourne.

Its about bloody time.
VBS is a peice of crap, and is way to complicated for what should be simple tasks, MSH looks pretty damn promising.
I looked after a network shared across 3 networks with around 30 staff.
Had a mix of Linux, Novell, NT 3.51, NT 4. MTAs included qmail, Exchange. Firewalls were routers, and ipfwadm...
So about 8 years ago.....
I also was an onsite engineer for charge out work...
To answer your question, it comes down to a few factors:
How old is the hardware? If its older hardware, then there will be more repairs.
Do your users have adequate training? If not, then you'll be doing lots of support.
Does your site consist of a lot of Internet connectivity, on-line shopping carts etc? If so, then add more hours to your maintainance.
Also don't forget stuff has to be backed up. That takes about 20-30 mintes a day to monitor backup logs, and managing tape routines.
What about application/security logs? You probably won't have time to even look at that stuff. Then stuff will probably break more often.
You see it comes down to how much time can be invested in the systems, the less management give you, the more time you'll spend on it.
I'd say you're average will be around 1 hour per day, every day - at a rough estimate.
Cheers.
Goodluck!
P.S - I got out of sys admin gig, now a full time security consultant the past 8 years and love it.
Dude, somebody stole my freedom!!!!

There is a world outside of the United States however it seems that this lawsuit is only applicable to residents within the US - how suprising.
I bought a 3G ipod and its screwed, i'd be lucky to get 40 minutes out of it, just barely enough for a gym workout - useless.
Ended up buying a replacement from some ipod replacement dot com site or some BS and internationally delivered with instructions for about $AUS80....
Thanks Apple for:
NOT looking after international customers
NOT admitting responsibility or liability.

Beware mod_perl 2.0.0.
Perl is already up to 6.0 (almost) - best wait for mod_perl 6.0 to be released.
Nothing to see here, move along!

Screw Linux - Love their cigars.
I bought a box on a way back from a recent business trip to NYC and back to Oz via Singapore. (bought em in Singapore)
I feel sorry for the yanks not given the opportunity to sample these fine specimens in a legal manner due to a trade embargo.
The only ones that are legal and the ones purchased before the embargo, and im sure they are blowing up in smoke.
Cigar On!

You should consider working for Microsoft - that sounds deliciously evil...

stay out of the virus market and concentrate on the O/S - no wonder Longhorn is way overdue.

Hardware just doesn't do it for me anymore.
JIC anybody is interested FF 1.03 fails the test...
Might need a few more months, probably 1.1 will fix that action up.

Thats why MSN Chat is no longer available.
A shame that a few bad apples have spoiled it for the rest of us. MSN Chat was a great way to meet everyday people instead of the geeky IRC chat.
I didn't choose to browse to their linked ad site, and it wasnt intended for my browser to go scooting off to it. Its as simple as that.

They are a security threat.
Case in point, for which there is many: The Register.
Their ad served website got compromised, and users that were running IE got compromised if they werent patched. Trojans and keyloggers were installed.
Check out http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/21/register_
I fully support the use of AdBlock, and I surely run it in my security courses that I have been lecturing for years.
