Why not just move the site offshore & hire foreigners to maintain it from anonymous submissions? It seems to be the answer for everything else and CEO's love it.
In this free trade agreement we're sending our jobs there, buying their products, sending our $$ there for payroll, and buying our own products back. Somehow this agreement does not allow U.S. to sell to China tho. Sounds like they've got a definite advantage to me and the only ones cashing in over here are the CEO's.
I agree. People don't realize how often they use things like cell phones that were developed in space. There will always be people against it who refuse to do the research. One big example is the space pen. People thought it was a waste of $$ when they could use pencils. They don't even stop to think about all the lead pieces floating around getting in your eyes and the instrumentation.
Don't get all upset over what I say tho. I'm still upset over the supercollider being cancelled when it was well under construction & being sent overseas along with our 7 best physicists. We're selling our technological edge and it's not even mentioned to the citizens who funded it until it's a done deal.
This can't be! All the people supporting the free-trade agreement that is sending jobs overseas said the saved $$ would be passed on to the consumer! Seriously tho it's lame. My job was sent to India so they could cut costs and they're blowing $$ like this.
I'm running MRTG and Netflow graphs. I'm not bottlenecked. It's just saturated when I do massive 700Mb file bi-directional tests. Gigabit would be different I'm sure but the point is that the article gave no details on what was used to reach this claimed speed difference. 2.5X faster than my current setup would be impossible with what I currently have if I simply upgrade to Samba 3. you can go from 100Mb to 1000Mb pretty easily. Umm...no I can't. Thats alot of upgrades on switches, NICs, wiring, etc and it's more than I can afford. If this were the case the article would be about 100Mb vs Gigabit speed differences.
Perhaps they have a security policy that checks for critical security holes and it's not configured for Mac? I can see security not allowing home pc's with alternative os's that they can't secure on their corporate network. It's as scary as those ppl who want their home pc to dial into RAS with full access to department files on a mapped drive. You don't know if they let their kids play on it or not. My 2 yr old niece did a nice job of hitting enter while the C: drive was highlighted and tagging about 200 files for delete. I caught her when it was asking "are you sure you want to delete these files?". It could happen....
Wish I had mod points to get rid of that flame-bait mod. Considering when I do file xfers I'm at 80% network utilization now without using samba I'd have to call bullshit too if they claim my 100Mb can go 200Mb.
I've never known this to be a problem. Most places I worked the cute girls down in marketing "needed" Macs to do their graphic designs. I hooked them up, loaded the client, and it worked. Maybe I missed something that broke in newer versions of MS and OSX in my unemployment downtime.
CUPS rules in my opinion simply because I can share certain HP printers that their own MS drivers can't...heh. I have an HP 710 and in their how-to's it says to share it you need to load a generic HP Laserjet driver (which disables the color, fax, scanner, etc). I still can't use the scanner/fax but I can print in color over the network. Very cool for free software.
Nods. I did some work for a branch of Apple and they kept using the fact that typing the command to show performance in Netware 3.12 showed a higher # when running on their machines vs a PC. I kept asking for benchmarks on transfer speed, disk access, or just something but they didn't offer that information. I didn't have one to play with or I would have done it myself. The command really did show a higher # but I couldn't see any notable difference. Seems like it was just just info handed to the sales guys to use.
I use both linux and several flavors of MS daily. What is the difference in using samba for shares if a *nix box is compromised? None! If a username/pw has access to a share and it is compromised, you have access to the share. This is not a samba/NFS vs MS/*nix problem. This seems to be based on *nix not being hackable and the fact someone can't walk up to a *nix machine logged on and start typing.
I've been a security admin for almost 10 yrs and keyloggers, machine hijacks, etc DO exist for *nix too. If using a *nix client and a samba share makes you feel like you're secure, watch out. It's going to bite you where the sun doesn't shine.
Also, how many people do you know that use anti-virus on their *nix servers for samba shares? I don't know very many at all. They are usually hosting tons of windows viruses that can compromise the network when a client gets infected.
I love samba and use it myself. It's just scary to see people who still believe a non-MS product == always secure.
Thats an excuse website designers use when they can't make something work right or didn't take the time to check browser compatibility. Whether designers like it or not, they have to consider the massive % of surfers who use IE. It's like designing a fuel that doesn't work in import cars but does in domestic. It's not going to force people to buy a new car, it's going to make them quit buying gas from you.
There is one big difference though. The stovetop is nothing other than a dead short for the wattage. The watts going through a cpu aren't hooked end to end as a dead short. For V=IR you have a much different value of R in a cpu. Much of the volts and amps are dispersed to ground. But I do see your point;)
It isn't the water that shorts out circuits, it's the impurities like salt. I lost the link but there's a page out there where some guy submerged his entire motherboard into a cooler of supercooled non conductive light oil. It was quite entertaining to read if someone knows where it is;) Anyway, you can pour distilled water on a running circuit and as long as there is no salt or conductive polutants to get into the water it will keep right on trucking along.
I don't believe in $$ but you gotta do what you gotta do to get what you want/need. Personally I'm thinking this is going to be abused to give PI's and DUI's to people without the police even having to be around. It's like the radar guns with cameras mounted on them. John Doe drank 3 beers at bar A, drove to bar B and drank 4 more, drove to bar C and drank 2 more, BAC calculated at higher than allowed, police contact and you get a PI if you can prove you had a driver or a DUI if you can't. Another scenario, bartender at bar A is a total jerk and kicks you out for cheering for the opposing football team on the TV, puts you down as a nuicance, and suddenly your banned from the other bars? It's a load of crap.
I have one. It works on some of them but they're wising up and turning off the auto-hang when it hears the infamous 'beep' before the fax picks up. It's just as annoying when you get the same # of phone calls and nobody is there.
Why the hell should we have to turn our ringer off? What if I get a call for a job interview? What if there is a family emergency? The REASON for the do-not-call list is so we only get calls that we need. Last I checked, solicitation was NOT freedom of speach or the 'no solicitation' signs would be illegal. Anyone who calls me repeatedly, refuses to give me THEIR phone number, and annoys the crap out of me is harassing me. I'm not going to buy their crap. Me putting my number on the list should be money in their pocket from not wasting the long distance calls on me. I'm all for freedom of speach. I want to hear prayers at football games, I want to see the 10 commandments back up at the courthouse, I want to hear that school children can pray on their own without a parent-teacher meeting talking about how their child is causing trouble. Our country was founded on it, however there was NOTHING in the declaration of independance about freedom to annoy the crap out of people and give your contact information to all the others who annoy.
When they call you there are multiple levels of ratings the caller gets after the call is complete. 1) No reponse/hangup, 2) spoke to us (this means even saying don't call again for those buying the list), 3) listened to the sales pitch but did not buy, 4) bought the product. There is only one other category and that is the do-not-call list. In the old law asking them to not call any more did not mean they had to remove your name from the list they sell, only that THEY couldn't call you any more. Just hearing a human voice verifies it is a real person who is a potential client and moves you up from 1 to 2. Actually listening to them is almost as bad as buying the product since you're at rating 3. The higher up the list you are, the more phone calls you get from the list being sold when they do database searches to find the most likely suckers..er I mean buyers on the list.
If you don't want people calling your phone number, it shouldn't be publicly listed. That's why people have private phone numbers, so they aren't bothered Uhh...they call my cell phone all the time. Find THAT in the white pages. Your argument is based entirely on misinformation so far. Even credit card companies sell your contact information to telemarketers. They also can just rotate through all of the phone numbers and only skip the ones on the do-not-call list. Unlisted or not, you're number is coming up. It disturbs me that people will piss on the First Amendment so easily for a little comfort. The right for one man to swing his fist ends where another mans nose begins.
Telemarketing is not, and never was, harassment. You have a phone number. People are allowed to call the phone and try to talk to you. There's no national "do not ring my doorbell" list.
You're saying I call someone over & over trying to sell them my cat & when they ask me not to call any more I get 10 of my friends to call & try to sell them their dogs and it's not harassment? What part of "I don't want to buy crap on the phone, I work night shift, quit #$#@$ing calling me 2 hrs after I went to bed, and I'm broke" do they not understand? This process could go on & on until they have thousands of people trying to sell them stuff. Can I have your phone #? I have about 40 boxes of stuff to sell after I moved. I also have lots of friends who are wanting to sell some stuff.

I worked my way thru college & paid my own way. By the time I graduated I had 4 years of networking/administration experience.
Note my sig. I get alot more out of slashdot now that I turned off my filters.

Yes! QPEG and C-show. That was what I used to use. Ahh the good old days ;)

I wonder the same about SCO.

Nokia phones can handle email, spammers out of control, it was bound to happen...A spammer flamed him.

If you live as far south as I do you don't worry about cooling it, you worry about cleaning up the explosion.
