eDirectory isn't the problem, it's the local workstation client that is problematic.
All in all, however, edirectory is probably the best of their products ( even considering the downside of having to use the client on the local workstation ). It's the only one I could stomach using.
I'm forced to agree. He may be happy, but none of his users are if he's using zenworks and groupwise.
I've found novell customers exhibit the same symptoms as battered wives; at first they are confused, then they are greatful for the few acts of kindness they receive, then finally they feel like they've done something wrong, but he's really a great guy.
Wake up call folks; NOVELL SUCKS. They HAD good products, but have since been eclipsed by MS and AD. Their product is painful to use and doesn't stand up to the competition, especially when you factor in all the support the competition has.
I loved the game, but cheating was rampant from day 1. After a couple weeks, I couldn't tolerate it anymore, as it literally seemed that you HAD to cheat to complete your missions.
It was fun otherwise, and was looking forward to coming back to it in a year ( after they got the cheating under control ).
If your students are having a hard time adapting to cheap, "employer" provided calculators...how do you think they'll handle the real world?
The only flaw I can find with your plan is to pay for these out pocket, but I understand that's the norm for a lot of college supplies. Of course, given the cost of books, it's not too absurd to expect students to buy the model you specify either.
Just to be sure something like "Live Free, Die Hard" doesn't happen again.
In fact, I'm a big fan of slinging stars after asteroids. We could do it in the same style as throwing a perfectly good virgin in to a volcano, but with less loss of anything worthwhile.
It's a tit. Or a dick. Not that big a deal here folks. Kids are pretty robust, so if you don't panic they won't.
Not to mention most TVs come with parental controls and most stations have the ability to broadcast ratings...I fail to see what relevance the FCC has anymore. I can tell you, as a citizen of the US, I don't need or want them looking out for my child. I'm her parent, I get to decide what she sees and doesn't see.
( as far as profanity is concerned; it's just words. Pull the wad out of your ass and realize that children will learn these words anyway, no amount of filtering on TV will stop that. )
They will regardless. Those that are making the decisions will still make the decisions even with a highly educated population. They just have to use a different stick/carrot.
Note: Educated does not equal critical thinking. The most educated person I know has a PhD, yet buys in to the democratic party hook, line and sinker. When they flip on an issue, it's because they had a chance to think about it. When the Republicans flip, it's because they are chasing votes/cash.
She really lacks even the most basic critical thinking skills necessary to explain this bullshit. Education means nothing to politics.
Are we specifically referring to dos, or just the concept of cli file manager? Because frankly, to this day I run most of my linux boxes without a gui.
I'm not quite sure Archaic is the right word for something as useful as the cli.
Oh? So if a lower class parent decides they want their children to be better off then they are, they are blocked by...what exactly?
I speak from experience. My mother was "lower class". Single mother in a time when that wasn't fashionable. When workplaces didn't care that there was no one else to care for your children. Yet she still managed to raise her children to value education. We grew up and all got degrees, despite needing to take out several loans to do so.
Yet we all prospered.
Class warfare? Only for those that would rather find excuses instead of solutions.
Hint; there are easier ways to influence elections than the rather crass methods of direct vote manipulations.
See, the cool thing about the grunts is that they are extremely easy to manipulate. Or haven't you noticed that we haven't had a "working class hero" for a leader in modern history?
I used to think the same thing, but then I realized something.
My daughter will not be getting the crap public education that other children get. She may attend public school, but I make sure that's supplemented with education at home. As a result, she is significantly ahead of her peers as far as the formal education is concerned, and she is already beginning to develop critical thinking skills ( that, frankly, most adults lack ).
My point is this; parents that care will make sure their children are well educated. Those that don't will provide future grunt labor needs. Our country can't survive without this critical resource. We can't all be astronauts, as the saying goes. As long as we are able to provide the basics ( reading/writing/math ) for the majority of citizens, our country will do fine. Those that need or want more education will always be able to get it, and those of us who want more for our children will always provide it.
It leaves the what now? Pop quiz: Why do helium filled balloons float? Because the surrounding environment/atmosphere is heavier. The surrounding air is pushed down, with the natural result of the lighter substance being pushed up.
However, it won't simply keep going "up" forever. It will reach a point of equilibrium where the force of gravity equals the upward thrust of the surrounding particles.
For the gas to escape the earth's gravity well, it'd need some external force to act upon it. Perhaps the solar wind, or the moon's gravity.
Having suffered through the consequences of idiots making decisions, I've come to the conclusion that I actually admire these people. They are living the dream of separating fools and their money in a legal manner.
And a book is susceptible to fire/rain/environmental effects. More so than many storage mediums we have available today.
It's not inconceivable that future generations will be unable to reverse engineer a reader device, should it become necessary.
And it's not as if once data is written to a storage medium, thats it's final destination. How many pictures do you have that were originally taken on the old developed film? Then you moved them to your harddrive, then another harddrive. Maybe you backed them up on a DVD, perhaps a flash drive?
You just listed 17 forms of storage, which is merely a fraction of what's available. Further, information replication technology being what it is, it's not like 2000 years ago when it took a month+ to scribe a book.
I'll grant you, it's a question of quantity over quality, but the results are the same; records from our society will last far longer than from previous societies.
Strange, it's been my experience that work hardware is exactly the opposite. And while the work place *may* have a better connection than you do at home ( not a guarantee in the age of Verizon FIOS and cable speeds ), their proxy usually ruins the experience entirely, by it's very nature.
The home computer experience is often much better than work, and you have the benefit of not getting in trouble for indulging in your albino midget fantasies.
Slashdot Mirror
Mine didn't go active until this morning around 7:30ish local time ( PST ).
Would have liked to have played it last night at 12, but oh well.

Zenworks and groupwise, however...ug.

Vista/7, by default prompt.
Thanks to UAC in vista, folks have been well trained to just click "Yes" when prompted. So yes, this will be a threat.
Just to be sure something like "Live Free, Die Hard" doesn't happen again.

News flash: People lie, cheat and steal on the internet. Just like in real life.
It's sad that this needs to be news.
They will regardless. Those that are making the decisions will still make the decisions even with a highly educated population. They just have to use a different stick/carrot.

So...your plan is to, what? Make sure each and every child has a college education? And what would they do with that? Haul our garbage?
For society to function we need a certain distribution of education. The largest portion being the highschool educated.
But hell, it's the latest fashion to run around screaming the sky is falling. So don't let me get in your way.
Oh? So if a lower class parent decides they want their children to be better off then they are, they are blocked by...what exactly?

You really think that's what goes on now?

Of course.
The difference between these folks and politicians is that I have a choice whether I get screwed by them.
Having suffered through the consequences of idiots making decisions, I've come to the conclusion that I actually admire these people. They are living the dream of separating fools and their money in a legal manner.
If anything, I'm jealous.
One might be a "Political Scientist" in much the same way as one might be an "Honest Politician".

Again, replication of data is key here.
I think you defeated your own point.
You just listed 17 forms of storage, which is merely a fraction of what's available. Further, information replication technology being what it is, it's not like 2000 years ago when it took a month+ to scribe a book.
I'll grant you, it's a question of quantity over quality, but the results are the same; records from our society will last far longer than from previous societies.
See: "Joke".
Reference ancient Egypt and the finds regarding electricity.
I have no doubts that records from this time period will survive for far longer than from previous societies.
Palin, is that you?
... archeologists 3000 years from now will puzzle over their purpose. Obviously such a primitive society couldn't have had electricity.
