Let's not forget the Democrat's wildly unsuccessful plan to have Hollywood and musicians campaigning for them. That really did NOT strike a note with your average voter.
It would be so nice to just plug it in to Exchange/Active Directory and have it work in one shot. The current Ximian Exchange Connector is broken to the point of being unusable in Suse 10 and Ubuntu and probably everywhere else. Ximian developers, you listening? This bug is a real show stopper. Had to switch myself and all of my Linux developers to IMAP. Looking forward to hearing the typical Slashot solution "just get rid of Exchange." Like I wouldn't if I could.
Hang on and stop trying to sound so wise. If you'd installed Grisoft Free Edition you'd know that it's not licensed for enterprise installations. So your advice is about Grisoft Free Edition is pointless for the sysadmins dealing with Mcafee.
Perhaps you might be thinking of an actually free alternative such as ClamAV? Of course, ClamAV is actually a server-side solution. TrendMicro and Grisoft's enterprise solutions come to mind since you hate big companies so much. Myself, I'm using Symantec Corporate for my Windows boxes and it works just fine.
Here's some advice. Get some thicker skin. You will be modded Troll in the future and it doens't mean shit. It's rows in Slashdot's MySQL DB. Plus, you should expect to catch a little hell particularly when you make such an inaccurate statement. Microsoft built their empire on OSS? Come on...
Then don't play the backwater Southern card either. That's bullshit along with the Anti-American card. I see what you're saying about the escrow, makes sense.
It can go either way. Either we assume all OS X users are clueless and maybe most Linux users are too or we can assume that a good deal of them made an informed decision for a better OS and are a bit mroe savvy. I've never seen a clueless OS X user that can compare to the typical clueless Windows user.
Give it to a person who surfs the web between 2- 4 hours a day, and who has no computer security knowledge whatsoever. This is, in fact, the typical Mac OSX user...
Like hell. Most hardcore Linux users I know have a Powerbook.
Microsoft implemented some parts of BSD's TCP/IP stack. As far this statement "Linux tries to compete with their own, better, product", that statement is so fantastic I almost don't even know where to begin but here's a few thoughts.
Linux is not competing with ANYBODY. Linux is the pet project that Linus Torvalds created to have his own desktop Unix clone and he still states that's his goal. He also states frequently that Linux isn't in competition with anybody.
Also, are you calling Cisco products "rubbish?" How many Cisco products have you had responsibility for? As far as the Microsoft support rant, you'd know quick, fast, and in a hurry how Microsoft's support is if you were an Exchange admin and it had crashed. Hint: Microsoft support is pretty good. That's why companies pay for it.
I would love to tear Exchange and my Pix firewall out and replace them with OpenBSD and QMail but I can't due to corporate policies. But guess what? If oyu know what you're doing, the Exchange/Cisco stuff can work with decent uptime. And that uptime gives me the time to replace other Windows boxes with Linux and OpenBSD.
Aside from calling you out on what seems to be a blatant advertisement, here goes. Can Smoothwall run with a automated backup box if the primary box goes down (see Cisco's HSRP or OpenBSD's CARP)? How many ethernet ports can Smoothwall handle? How about authentication via LDAP and then taking it further, authentcating seamlessly through VPN (single sign on solution)? Have you ever configured a router in an enterprise setting?
Anyway, Smoothwall is more of a home user/SOHO solution. I doubt GM or Sun could have their needs filled by a Smoothwall box.
Apparently you know nothing about the actual history of this case and would rather blame America and Americans rather than learn about the American who developed this technology in the 90's.
Here's your source. I'll dig up some others but did you know C02 was higher duing the dinasaur era? We're not even making a dent on the Earth, I'm afraid. I'll post the links on how our forests but you're spouting 70's era Rachel Carson crap that's been proven many times over as nonsense on acid rain. Please READ a bit. Try reading Bjorn Lomborg's book. I will post more information for you later, try reading it with an open mind.
You actually believe *WE* are responsible for the problems *you* see with the earth? Why don't you do a little research? Ever hear of the "Little Ice Age?" Did you know other parts of Antarctic ice are increasing at rates of 26 gigatons per year? And no, Katrina wasn't a wake up about the environment, it was a wakeup about red tape and the gov't. Hurricanes happen. It wasn't a byproduct of someone's tailpipe.
I believe it's the first one released by Lenovo that IBM didn't offer. Fantastic computer. Very Linux friendly, nice keyboard, built like a tank. Hihgly recommended.
For the gentle reader just checking in, I just got modded as a Troll for citing facts relating to my post that contradicted the general air of global warming is happening on Slashdot.
Moderator that modded that as a Troll, you're a ballsless wonder. Stick to actuall Trolls not bashing informed dreakign discussion.
That wasn't Flamebait. There should be a Mod category of something along the lines of "I don't agree with this post so I'm going to mod it down irregardless."
My take is that Crichton's already made freaking millions, doesn't need the money that bad, he's actually a pretty conscientious guy, and yes, his fiction does suck. But this is a legitimate cause with plenty of facts to back itr. Try actually searching/reading with an open mind past what politically driven figures have to say, what Greenpeace/World Watch wants you to think. Realize we're in a 35 year cooling period, that the Pleistocene carbon dioxide levels mirrored TODAY without any bad, evil, evil humans meddling with the global climate.
The parent poster ponders the evil of big companies as he enjoys highest quality of life humanity has ever seen, much of it stemming directly from independant research.
Stop looking for something to bitch about and realize how much money YOU'D make if you founded a company that produced a cure for AIDS. That's what the big companies are doing and I'll bet good moeny they're actually financing this effort. Jesus christ, find another target for your teen angst.

WPA configuration via GUI isn't too much to ask for, is it?
Not surprised that IBM rolls their own Linux, Cisco does as well though it's mainly for their servers.

Microsoft built an empire out of OSS
Come again? What OSS projects? What code? In which Windows releases?

Nothing worse than a rebel without a clue.

Don't you have anything else to do besides submit stories?
Creating a market for themselves. You have to ask yourself, what exactly are they doing releasing frequently updated antivirus definitions for OS X?
Good to see you here, Ogre. What's new in the stable? Just got an FN SPR I'm madly in love with. You should hurry up and review a Kahr.
What about stability?
Running BES 3.6 on Exchange 2003 here. Have no problems, runs flawlessly. Are you using 4.0?

OK, here's a couple of facts backing his speech.
Antactic ice IS increasing."
Banning DDT DID kill people.
