"Wow, they really owned while they were around. It's too bad they had to fade away." Think about it, can YOU name any war that happened 1000 years ago? How about all the leaders of a country somewhere?
I agree that if (big IF) the US is even visible in 20/100/1000 years average joe will still know fuck-all about what happens in the next street, let alone what happens anywhere or anytime else. Just don't assume that countries that actually HAVE some history are as negligent or as disinterested in their surroundings.... and I bet it isn't called 'Iraqi Freedom" by then, either.....
>Want to set reasonable defaults for new users, like how their Start Menu behaves or what theme they get? There might be a way to do this, but I still haven't figured out how.
It's a corporate solution and costs you $50 a seat, and a (easy for a techie) learning curve, but Novell Zenworks does all the profile pushing you want, and can even be part of a pre-boot execution thingy to distribute the whole machine image. Very cool.

I was going to say 'total crap', but you aren't too far off the mark.
I know he's got a M$ background, but read ANYTHING by Steve McConnell, especially 'Code Complete' or "Rapid Development".
There's a LOT of other stuff but it's all geared to specific languages. McConnell's examples are understandable by all.
UK and US as terrorists because they bombed Dresden? You are bending the definition somewhat..
Dresden was bombed purely as revenge for the indiscriminate bombing of UK cities by the Germans, they still find unexploded bombs in British cities every year.
otoh Nagasaki and Hiroshima.......

Your tame zealot(tz) isn't the Zenworks guy then, I bet he can recite the Novell 3.11 monitor screen menu from memory....
imho the care and feeding of the server and client software is tactical and of Zenworks is strategic, different mindsets.
Zfd is superb at controlling desktops and the mix of applications. Your tz should've fiddled with policy settings for the username/group/etc. Subject to the vagaries of MS there's a lot you can do.
I admit we use login scripts to stuff information into the environment in order to associate physical boxes with 'virtual' things like department names; but only because we are trying to transition between IPX and IP, and have 98, 2k and XP to 'standardise'. Come the revolution...
For some reason I never get Novell mugs and golf-shirts, lots of caps, CD cases and keyrings.....
You are supposed to post humour with a few clues, like:).... You were tottering along very nicely until you threw in the statement..
Hell, they even think rebooting servers is a *normal* thing. (My boss, for example, is a Novell fan, and he flatly refuses to believe that the 115-or-so day current uptime of my webserver is possible.)
er, who does? At least one of our NW5.1 boxes had an uptime of 140+ days until we threw on SP6 and rebooted, and we only applied the SP because of third party software. I can't think of a server problem other than hardware that has ever caused us non-trivial loss of service.
Yes Novell missed the boat on GUI, I bounce between consoleone and nwadmin too often. They also dicked around with too many other web environments before Apache. If they'd turned DRDOS into a lightweight Citrix-style client instead of slavishly following Bill into the DOS dead-end they'd still have had the substantial character-mode small network app market to themselves..... and I still blame them for giving up on Wordperfect.
If you want to thank Microsoft, next time you're at your embroidery class, sew a dot in front of the N and an 'et' afterwards......
The TV license people don't have a clue. I haven't had a TV in my UK house since I moved overseas 18 years ago, but despite my filling in their freaking forms they still send me 'death threats' four times a year. Fuck'em.

are gradually getting out of the monopoly business in the Carib. Cayman goes open this year. Mind you the prospective competition (AT&T, the irish, and a bunch of locals fronting for someone in the US) look as unappetising as the original. Maybe the devil you know......;)

SP4 went onto our 2k workstations fine, but wrecked our metaframe box.

So (if you are winfiltrated) use Pegasus Mail/Win32. Better in all respects than Outhouse.
