create your own System Update server, yes it is a M$ product, tie the reg hack to the domain login and poof! push the patches as needed to the M$ computers on the wire. We rode out the last two worms fairly easily this way
. The other thing is to "require" one of the managed virus scanning software packages (McAfee and Symantec as example) that have a local update server package (LiveUpDate for Symantec and ePolicy for McAfee). That way you can be reasonablely sure that PC's on the wire are kept up to date with the current DAT files.

Can someone hear RMS cranking up for the diatribe of all time?
Wouldn't it be better to have the both users and dev decide what they need? In all seriousness, I think the users and developers both need this input. The developers for the nuts and bolts and the users for the apps. This way both groups get what they want WITH what they need. BUT you need to leave a way to easily add components that were not included originally. RedHat is the most "corporate" of the *nixes, and has VERY limited choices out of the box (OO.org as default office is just one), so some more choices would be a good thing.
I worked for a french chemical company as a contractor 5 years ago, they were a Netscape shop, they has modified Netscape 3.0 to do the work they needed and had stuck to it, we were rollling out win98 of all things and I remember building a installer for Netscape 4.5, but of course this isn't Mozilla yet, but it's the only place I worked that used anything but IE on a windows platform.
I remember reading a hacker book in High School (1983) called the Adolesence of P1. P1 was a program that managed to take over the networked IBM and CRAY mainframes of the day (the 70's??). Typical adventure fair but with many old school hacks like the bank and the school machine that did grades. I thought about it a year ago and it was frightening in that it predicted most of the security fears that people have now... anyone else remember this?
could it be that that the 10.x.x.x range is turning into the "555" of films? 555 is the first three digits of most phone numbers in movies, so is it unreasonable to think that 10.x.x.x could be the "movie" ip address?
couldn't be easier, CTRL-ALT-F1 to get the root console and knx-hdinstall to run the installer, setup the disk with cfdisk and then it copies away, 4 config questions, done.
Got it, burned it, loved it. Easiest way to install Debian on x86. They put alot of thought in it. One lesser known feature is that it detects wlans and automatically configures the cards to access it. (provided that there is no WEP installed) so it works great at Starbucks....Latte and linux!
So it's easy, when is the linux community going to drop this attitude of "Linux is supposed to be hard".
In the last three weeks I've tried RedHat 8.0(too slow on a 366mhz machine), Yopper, Knoppix (lots of stuff) and Mandrake 9.0. Of them all, I'm using mandrake. Why? because everything worked, first time, everytime. So I went out and bought a copy. Voting with my wallet, the easiest thing to do. I hope they make it out of Chapter 11 or whatever the french equivalent is. They're providing the gateway to make it easier to switch, without the cost overhead that Lindows requires.
Comcast in November last year finally allowed VPN access on their lower tier cable service ("silver"). Apparently they got tired of people asking about VPN and then going to DSL for the same price when the answer was no.
The RIAA is not a government or a government agency? Therefore they cannot impose fines/tariffs/taxes. They cannot force ISP's or anyone else to give them money without a contract/purchase agreement/court settlement. Even if they get the court settlement, it will most likely be overturned on appeal. They need to make downloading music unattractive by lowering the cost of the $.50 CD's they sell from 21.00 to something more reasonable. They are getting nothing less than they deserve for gouging the listening public for years.
A lot of classics end up at the Digibarn ( http://www.digibarn.com ) including the "shielded" Black Mac from the 80's. Seriously, any geek worth their propeller hat has a cache of old chassis, memory and motherboards. One of the classics from my collection is the mid 90's IBM Think Pad 701C, orignal design for the size and folding keyboard.....Is it worth anything? Most likely not, but it's history and history is worth something, to someone, for some reason......

Linux Is Cheaper

Is in the "utility" services; DNS, DHCP, Authentication, File Shares, WWW, Proxy and Mail (Unless your work uses Exchange). The services in a medium or small company can be run on one box as opposed to M$ software that has components that interfere with each other. Need a test server? a decent pc will do. Need a secondary DNS/DHCP source for a remote office? Something small setup here and shipped there with the "hook it up/turn it on instructions. That's where the saving are. I'd go as far as client server, but most of the ones that float past me are "MS SQL vXXXX" required. Like the commercial says, you can replace most of a datacenter with a rack full of linux, but can you replace a rack 'o linux with a rack 'o M$? doubtful and expensive..
Clarke, 2010....
He describes entire races of life existing in the Jovian atmosphere that while it would be alien, would be life. Mostly they were oversized gas bags or things that hunted oversized gas bags. Also on Europa, the monolith's new experiment is a banyan tree that reacts to light
Sagan used a variation of this in the mini series on Space in the early 80's.... His variables had similar reasons, but the values were different.
The one curveball thrown in was the time factor, in that it is entirely possible that great civilizations have come and gone prior to our arrival, or will arise after we're dust. So even using the Drake equation, you need a WHEN variable which could be infinite, and using infinite in the formula makes the result infinite, so the correct answer is 0-infinity. as Buzz would put it "To infinity and beyond!"

lovesan is the mcafee name for it, based on the the "We love you SAN" comment in the code. Patch early, patch often, panic never

think of the havoc if they had M$'s ip address...

OK, and this is any different than the Animatrix cartoons, filling in the gaps in the Matrix saga?
they have removed it. November of last year

You mean we'll finally get winmodem drivers for linux??? whooo hoooooooo! I can use by thinkpad!
