  1. Ease of use in the enterprise on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 1

    Linux might not be totally ready yet but it is improving fast. the ability to lock it down tight actually make it a better desktop for the enterprise, and now that novell opensourced the ximian connector we can even hook it up to exchange !

  7. Re:How I did it on Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE? · · Score: 1

    Would be a good idea to set bookmark keywords indeed... or maybe substituing the google box with a UPS box... for now they have the UPS page as their homepage but I'll think about that !

  8. How I did it on Getting Your Company to Migrate from IE? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I had all customer service agents switched to Firefox in a weekend, all they use is the UPS website to check tracking numbers, so the rest of the stuff they do is usually not business related so they don't complain. Have a few java apps, they work well, one required me to install Java 1.5.0 (Err I mean Java 5!) instead of 1.4.2 because it was running dog slow in Firefox with 1.4.2 ....

    Imported Favorites and settings...made IE hidden..
    2 or 3 users are special cases and they really need IE for some IE specific ActiveX crap but that's it...

    I spent 5minutes clearing spyware in the past 6 weeks.

    Don't pull it, create a GPO to prevent running it and apply it to that group of users I guess.

  10. S.U.S. on NIST Issues Windows XP Security Guide · · Score: 1

    Great free tool to deploy security updates if you complement it with a few VBScripts to check the status of the GPO and to force deployement...
    Too bad version 2 which will support Office, IIS and SQL patches keeps getting delayed..

  13. Re:Neuros II on New Walkman-Branded Hard Disk Player · · Score: 1

    I bought an iRiver. Can record FM to mp3, mic to mp3, got optical in and out, plays ogg, and the remote has an LCD...

    Now that I don't use the bus and metro it's not nearly as useful though, but it's an awesome little machine..

    The VIC-20 was a popular Commodore machine..

  15. Music CARRIER on Commodore - Back In The Hardware Biz At Last? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The fPet is a music CARRIER..
    That reads like "Standard USB thumbdrive" to me, definitely not a player. I'd still get one because of the logo.

    OK so what do you use to develop for a Zaurus?
    Yeah sure you can make an ncurses app, but what if you want it to integrate nicely?

    So yeah you have some choice but for a commercial app I'd still go with commercial QTopia as would anyone with a bit of common sense..

    I had to call SMC once to get a beta version of firmware software... I waited so long, some message explained to me the difference between a switch and a hub at least TWENTY TIMES !
