The majority of (reputable) telemarketing companies are going to impliment the ndnc list regardless of its current status. The Direct Marketing Assoc. has also urged companies to comply.
Telemarketing companies get paid per conversion not per sale. There's no point in calling someone who has already stated that they won't be buying anything, it cuts into your profit margin.
I'm sure everyone is still going to receive calls about the great new toner cartridge technology that has three times the capacity of a normal cartridge (read reputable above).
Yes, long before they became evil and were actually producing software. I created their Inventory Control and Software QA systems.
Nowhere in my OP did I compare Windows to any other OS, everyone just assumed I was MS bashing and got their panties in a bunch. Typical for MS zelots.
I was talking about some simple and obvious things that Windows lacks....and of course DOS doesn't spawn a new shell when you run NET USE. As I said: the LOGIN SCRIPT spawns a new DOS shell every time you run NET USE.
I didn't say MS NOS's since 1984, I said MS OS's... as I see you corrected yourself in your next post.
And it was indeed Netware/DOS 2.0 and SYSIII and later SYSV on several platforms.
I do look at the resource kits. Using IfMember.exe means the login script is shelling out to DOS (yes it's still DOS) to find group membership then shelling out again to run NET USE.
And it does that for every instance of IfMember and NET that gets run in the script.
Let's not even talk about native TCP/IP under Windows circ:1993.
Sorry if you are offended... as a jewish fellow I would have thought you would know what sarcasm is... and no, it wasn't meant to be funny. I'm afraid, for the first time in my life about what my country is becomming.
That doesn't exactly satisfy the easy requirement does it?
That's a lot of work (I know it's not REALLY that much work, but mapping drives for users in a multi-user environment is one of the things an NOS should do without any work) to map a drive.
You need to have a VB programmer on staff to map drives?
Yes, obviously anyone can learn a bit of VB. I'm quite good with it myself but give me a break.
In an NOS you should be able to do something as simple as:
if memberof mygroup map j:/mydir; (pardon my Netware psudocode).
I do know how to use them. Don't be so presumptuous Mr. Smartypants. I'm very aware of how to run a login script that shells out to DOS and runs NET USE. Kind of primitive don't you think?

Right outside my home town.
I'm infringing on a license I'm not required to buy?
That's gonna' make a lot of sense in court.
Neither did the post I replied to.
Though my post was more relevant than it was.
How is that off topic you moding dickhead!?
/. post a story if no one submits it?
How can
Did you submit this story to /. ?
Why? Porn is good.
Porn, academia and the military is what brought the internet into being.
For those of you that don't believe that you should check to see just how long alt.sex has been on the net. Most likely much longer than you.
Or... I could read the link I just posted. I knew it was somewhere before it became it's own series.

Actually the Aliens v Predator series was released in Nov. 1989. The skull from Pred2 was inspired by the comic series.
IIRC the first AvP encounter happened in a short story in one of the Alien series books from 1988 (but that MAY be a complete fabrication on my part).

What's the most unreasonable thing your past or current PHB has made you do?
My personal best:
Called me every weekend he worked because his printer wasn't working.
I would have to drive into work to press his ON-LINE button.
Every time I tried to "teach" him how to do this: "I don't have time to look at status lights"
...and Peter Strauss.
Ice Pirates was Robert Urick (sp) from what I remember.
A robot that can combine my bad programming skills with kicking my ass.
Ow! stop... Unh, please stop! Why won't this cancel button work?!?!? Guh.
All it needs to do now is spend my money irresponsibly and have sex with my girlfriend.
Why try to detect it, just block the ports.
Leave it to a university to come up with such an ass backward policy.
Opps... That should read:

...and it opens a new cmd window for every instance of net use just like I said.
So what's your point other than agreeing with me and telling me I don't know what I'm talking about at the same time?
Yes, long before they became evil and were actually producing software. I created their Inventory Control and Software QA systems.

Who said anything about *nix?
Don't make asumptions. It makes you look quite ignorant yourself.
I've been managing MS OS's (among others) in a corporate environment since 1984.
Base functions of a network operating system:
File and Print sharing.
This should not require special software or programming.
Apparently anyone who says anything against our government is an enemy of the state at this point.

I have many reasons to be pissed at MS. The ones listed are the least of them.
What's the variable you use to test if the user logging in is a member of a specific group?
