I have to agree with all these comments. It's a shame, but Netware is a jumbled mess of stuff. The 'classic' Netware stack doesn't seem to handle the newer services such as Apache and anything running in Java very well. Processess can run away from themselves far too easily.
It's all too easy to do things in Windows these days, whilst in Netware you have to jump through so many hoops to do the same thing.
Having said that, OES Linux has something going for it. eDirectory pees all over ADS in terms of features and stability. We run a 10-year old eDirectory which first started on Netware 4. It's broken a few times, but Novell support have managed to fix it. It broke due to comms problems and server hardware issues. I can't see ADS coping so well in the same situation. At least thanks to Identity Manager, people are using eDir to underpin their passwords and identity management.
NSS is far and away better than NTFS. The rights and permissions are much better, much more granular, and allow so much flexibility. I see so many AD-based admins asking how to do things which require 3rd-party tools to do something built into NSS.
It's a shame that people are flocking to a lesser product, but that's what aiming marketing at non-technical managers can do.
I suppose you could have some sort of device which acts like a RIP and drives a big printer. Something involving lots of page generation.
Something like a graphics card;-)
One of the guys at work has run the latest vista CTPs on an Intel 945-based machine using the onboard Intel-Extreme graphics card, and it ran perfectly well. My guess is that quite a few onboard chipsets will be capable, or at least those within the last 18-months say. Earlier ones might not, but then I've seen stranger things.
I think they are counting on most people having a radio or TV on at the time of such an announcement. I don't think the TV would just instantly go off - there'd be an announcement for an hour or two, then it would be switched off.
I think if a similar plan existed today, they would keep TV channels running. More people have working/decent TVs now than radios. Many that do have radios they use often are either mains powered, or DAB anyway. The internet would have to play some role too in telling people what was going on.
I heard about 11/9 via text message from a friend who was listening to Radio 1 whilst on the bus. The London bombings I heard about via IRC, then went looking at the BBC and News 24's stream (which had just been put up as it was happening). It seemed most other people were doing much the same, as IRC was buzzing, and the BBC news site was performing horribly. In this day and age it would be naive for the government to assume they could just shut everything down to the radio channels only. In 1975 this would be such a hard thing as TV was relatively new, and as for the internet, it was hardly in the position it is now.
I bet the music on this is nowhere NEAR as good/crap as the music on How It's Made. Even the announcer on Discovery has commented about it once or twice.

I would wager there is a certain amount of MS code still floating about in there somewhere, plus licenced bits from others who aren't agreeable to open-source in the same way as IBM. Although It'd be a wonderful idea, I don't see it happening any time soon.
Apart from the university I work at, as the IT Security Officer, where we've spent large amounts of money on hardware firewalls and monitoring software etc. JANET take a dim view of people running 'h4x3d' networks.
Remember the hoohah over CPU IDs a few years back? They were supposed to enable software suppliers to keep track of things. There was so much of a kerfuffle that most BIOSes now have a function to disable it. I can see this going the same way when it turns out it causes Windows to BSOD or something stupid.
Zenworks for Desktops (ie Windows) is now a pretty advanced and mature product. It works pretty damn well.
Zenworks for Linux is pretty immature by comparison. I've seen Novell making LOTS of noise about it, but then again, they would. From what I've seen though, its the only enterprise-grade software from a major vendor to offer a central control system. Most others are very fragmented.
Just FYI, I wrote that post at about 10pm, by which time I'd been awake for about 15/16 hours, having only had about 6 hours sleep the night before.
Looking back at it, the grammar isn't good, and I wish I'd written it slightly better.
As for my code, yes, it sucks, but the comments are good.
I quite agree. The last few injections I had I didn't know they'd done them. The key is to make sure you have relaxed your arm as much as possible. They rarely hurt then.
Its a shame there's not a windows/*nix version, or a similar thing using AIM or MSN Messenger. Do similar tools exist and I've never seen them maybe? I'd like to do some online collaborations.
I like Gentoo for its customisability. All the other distros are hell bent on throwing in everything which is great, but uses up so much RAM. I've seen SuSE use a full gig before just running KDE. With Gentoo I can leave all the little things I don't want out.
It'll be fantastic to have the scripted installer too. You can only write the fstab and grub.conf so many times before it becomes less fun.
Time to be pedantic: eDirectory is the product MS 'borrowed' from for AD, Netware is one of many OSs that eDir can sit upon.
Personally, I find Novell's new direction very exciting. You can already run eDir on Netware, Linux, Windows, Solaris and a couple of other *nixes but it didn't integrate too well. The addition of NSS, NDPS and other bits currently only on Netware is going to menan you can build a scalable, resiliant system offering File, Print and web services using practically any hardware, as long as it runs SuSE. Its exciting stuff!
Back in the days of the Homebrew computer club, you literally did build a PC. These days, whacking a load of PCBs into a case isn't quite the same level of complexity. I remeber telling people I built PCs where I worked and they looked amazed. As far as I was concerned, it was nothing more complex than Lego with static. The hardest part was installing software.

Quite agree. What next, is Bush going to impose this on us. Then again, Tony loves Bush so much he'd probably do it at the drop of a hat.
Don't forget Supermicro. They do boards that support up to 32Gb. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeo n800/
I quite agree. The last few injections I had I didn't know they'd done them. The key is to make sure you have relaxed your arm as much as possible. They rarely hurt then.
Well failing that, you could always try raised floors and suspended ceilings - maybe even some cubicle partitions...
MoonEdit looks pretty cool. I'm gunna give it a spin with a few friends and see how it behaves. Thanks for that one.
Its a shame there's not a windows/*nix version, or a similar thing using AIM or MSN Messenger. Do similar tools exist and I've never seen them maybe? I'd like to do some online collaborations.
A tinfoil hat isn't gunna stand a chance against this thing.
It'll be great!

So, a microsofty of some years, finds some code that crashes a slew of other browsers, but doesn't find any that crashes IE?
Hmm. I suppose its possible that IE handles bad code well, its just the purposefully bas stuff if doesn't fare so well with.

Things have definately changed.
Maybe Freshmeat.net could help?

I'm sure there are plenty of helpdesk personnel, network administrators, and "computer guy" friends who would like to punch that guy in the mouth.
Not really. He keeps people like me in a job.
