I'm in New Zealand, and we have two main competitors. Number portability between them isn't possible as they use completely different prefixes. At the moment, one has a great deal, and everyone is switching to them. As a result, all the numbers I used to have stored are now obsolete.
In this way this service would be great. You could switch plans, carriers, whatever and not have to inform people. Sure, call it a gimmick, but I call it a damned useful gimmick. I know when I changed phones, and I wanted a (then)"new generation sim card" I had to change numbers, and tell everyone my new number. It's a pain in the ass, and people (apparently) still try to contact me on my old number.
I say it's an excellent service, and I can't wait for carriers to start using it over here.
Where is your config file for samba? Well, I don't quite know. It's somewhere in the/etc directory I'm sure. Is it in it's own subdirectory? Possibly! Let's go and see.
ls/etc/smb
ls/etc/samba
That's all it would take to find if it was in a different directory or in the/etc directory. However without looking I can safely say mine in its own dir (: In my experience with windows however I would have to go start find, and wait for it to search through everything, or I'd have to fire up explorer and navigate first to the/etc(or equivalent) dir, and then to the sub dir. I can guaruntee that would take longer than it would for me to execute the above. Even quicker than what I did above would be 'locate smb.conf'
I don't see anything wrong with either filesystem really, I wouldn't personally move to the gobo filesystem because I would have a stroke using capital letters in directory names, but I think it's a good idea that maybe RH of MDK should look at including as an option at install.

Making Change

· Score: 1
It's a popular scheme, as it doesn't really cost anyone any significant money, bit it saves a lot of pfutzing with small change.
There is a similar scheme in New Zealand with the coins being 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00. It does actually cost large companies quite a bit of money when prices are rounded down. This of course only applied when cash is being used to pay. Say the company is a supermarket. There are hundreds of thousands of transactions(I'm not sure if this would apply to one supermarket, but even if applied to a chain I guess it stands) everyday. Say half of those are cash, and the figure isn't exact(this is a likely estimate considering the stupid pricings). If each one of those was rounded down $0.02 That's $2000(assuming there were 100,000 such transactions). Now overall that isn't all that much considering the profit the company is(hopefully) making, but when combined with other types of "shrink" such as stealing, it mounts up and can be quite significant.
That being said, as I work as a teller at a supermarket, I'm glad for the system, because messing round with $0.05 coins is bad enough.
At the moment the worst amount of change to be giving out is anything that includes $38.85(ie $38.85, $58.95, $78.95...) because they include:
1x $20.00(note), 1x $10.00(note), 1x $5.00(note), 1x $2.00(coin), 1x $1.00(coin), 1x $0.50(coin), 1x $0.20(coin), 1x $0.10(coin), 1x $0.05(coin).

Yeah... it was probably SCO: "ooops.... I think I hacked someone" "shit.. what now?" "new lawsuit.. they're runing our rootkit!"
