I think RAV offered more features than ClamAV...ClamAV is more concerned about Windoze E-Mail viruses. If you want something that is probably a lot closer to the functionality of the old RAV, try avast! 4 for Linux...it's currently still in beta, but it looks to be pretty good...
As a side note, I run ClamAV as an E-Mail scanner on a Solaris installation and love it for mail scanning...
You can certainly run more than one virus scanner at a time. Some ppl that use FREE virus scanners on windoze machines use both AVG and Avast!. The only problem is that the more scanners you put on your system, the slower the system will get. So, it's certainly possible (some do it to add an extra level of security)...
Spamassassin is better than anything Microsoft may even thing to write.
You're probably right, but then again it's not replacing the functionality of SpamAssassin...it's using a different method of dealing with the problem...SA filters the mail after it's received...the method described here puts more of the filtering on the MTA side of it...
You may not have looked at Postfix deeply enought. Postfix is better in the way it is designed and in the way it is implemented. The multi-daemon design is orders of magnitude more secure than anything so monolitic as sendmail.
If you aren't using any of the "Don't Blame Sendmail" options of sendmail, it can be just as secure as Postfix...
Those security problems could have been cosmetic issues in a design like postfix's.
Yes, but it's also a bit like saying the Model-T sucks because it didn't have airbags. Sendmail was designed that way in the beginning and has changed with the times, but blaming the current sendmail for things that happened years ago is just plain wrong...
Not anymore for my distribution.
Really??? What's your UNIX distribution??? Solaris??? AIX??? HP-UX???
Well, lets see...spamassassin works with sendmail, so I don't get your point there...I don't think they are looking to replace the functionality of spamassassin, they are taking care of the problem in a different way...
And, as far as postfix being better than sendmail...sendmail has a bad rap because it has been around the longest...
Yes, some older versions of sendmail had security problems. Yes, sendmail has some feature bloat...
But, sendmail is the MTA of choice for UNIX distributions...sendmail is probably one of the most configurable of all MTAs (that also makes it one of the most difficult to configure)...mainly because of its past, sendmail is good in a different way than MTAs like postfix...
Just drop it off your resume. 5 weeks is not enough. If you're applying anywhere that REQUIRES an application, then you should write it down there, but 5 weeks isn't enough that it will matter. You can't gain any REAL experience in 5 weeks time that couldn't have been obtained elsewhere. Just omit it when you are putting out your resume...it's not lying.
Your resume should put your best foot forward. You shouldn't have to explain anything on the resume. For instance, if you are applying for a programming job, the fact that you can change a car tire is moot and would get your resume thrown out in a heart beat.
If you actually have any money to speak of, hire a professional resume writer (college towns are good places to find them...don't pay more than about $70-$80 for it). They are well worth the money and if you really are that bad at writing your resume, most will update it when needed for a small fee.
One last point on the Professional Resume Writer thing...don't pay for services that submit your resume or guarantee job offers, they don't work...some will offer rewrites if you don't get a job in a specific amount of time...these are different and are actually a good idea. Some will also offer X number of cover letters for free, this is also a good idea...
This kind of stuff doesn't work anymore. The only thing you might do is fry the phone company's equipment. This actually would never have worked anyhow, as you are not generally touching any metal on the phone...
One of the old UNIX giants (IBM, Sun, SGI, etc) is bound to come out with their own Linux distro sooner or later.
When this happens (if done right), their distro will take over almost overnight. The only reason I don't think IBM is doing their own distro is that they can really force the companys like RedHat and SUSE to include specific software/drivers/options...
Am I likely to upgrade from Solaris 9 (or even Solaris 8) just so I can gain a few clock cycles on I/O performance??? Not likely.
Am I going to risk damaging my user data, lose email, break automated processes and custom applications just to run the newest version of Solaris...not likely...
I'm sure he meant exactly what he said...now to clarify just why he said it. Females (Women) are generally considered a seperate market from kids and adults... And for what ever reason, these 2 demographics are what the market has catered to (this probably has to do with the higher ratio of male-to-female developers than anything else)...
Anyhow, in the recent past, companies have started to see that women are a virtually un-tapped demographic.
So, what Nintendo is really saying is that "We are targeting the traditional markets, but we are also targeting the female market"...
Now, this is not to say that women do not play games right now, it's just that they are mostly outnumbered by the men...
It's true. I am what most people would generally call polite, but I've found that when trying to get "service", it's best to simply go into jerk mode right from the start.
George Carlin said it best...
At one time in my life, I thought I understood the meaning of the word "service." The act of doing things for other people.
Then I heard the terms: Internal Revenue Service Postal Service Civil Service Service Stations Customer Service City/County Public Service
And I became confused about the word "service." This is not what I thought "service" meant.
Then one day, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them mentioned that he was having a bull service a few of his cows.
WHAM!! It all came into perspective! Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.
Umh, that's easy when it's your own personal network or a small office...it's not so easy when you have thousands of users...
Someone is always using some obscure application to talk to BFE and when they cant use it, they are suddenly the most important person on the planet...
Securing your network is simple, dealing with the implications are not.
I don't think the concern is that they outsourced something...it's what they outsourced to a group that didn't respect the security of the data.
The truth of the matter is that this guy (regardless of where he was) either didn't care or didn't know how sensitive the data was.
The real question is why wasn't this college being kept on a tight leash??? Why were they even allowed to outsource it at all??? The real problem lies with the county for not specifying "no sub-contracting"...
It's not going to encourage ANY behaviour except what the player WANTS to do (except maybe those related to the plot)....but then again, if you didn't like doing this, you would have never bought the game...it's not like the name of the game could be any give away...
What this guy doesn't understand is that games like GTA and specifically violent games are GOOD for society. It is a way of escape...it's not going to encourage violence in the real world...
In reality, these games allow mature adults to release their tensions...I'ld much rather see a guy spend a night of playing GTA than to shoot someone who cuts in front of his car on his morning commute...
I don't think the plan is to replace Control Center, once you look at the page and screenshots, it looks less like Control Center.
The big giveaway for this is the fact that I don't see any way of reading table data...as a matter of fact, the more you look at it, Control Center will obvously be used more for database development and data entry, but The MySQL Administrator seems to be just that...more focused towards UNIX Administrators...
From the page in the article, it seems that this is more of an Administrative tool and not a general database design tool (like MySQLFront or Control Center)...just look at the screen shots...
These look more like an administrative command line alternative. Which would mean it's providing a tool that has not been offered in another MySQL compatible app...
This is actually a feature offered by some advanced commercial databases...it's obviously just a sign that MySQL is coming into its own...
Will this product be backwards compatible with older versions of MySQL (3.x, 4.x, etc)...
From the looks of it, this is either a replacement for Control Center or more than likely this will serve as the administrative package and Control Center will still server as a data entry and database design package...I don't actually see any table manipulation functions in this application...
A product that's just been announced is not vaporware. The term implies deception and without knowing the real status of the project, there needs to be an announced release date or some sort of an obvious show stopper (company goes under, loss of major developer, similar tool released by same group, etc).
And with all of the screenshots, I am pretty sure they actually have a product in development...no use in doing so many mock ups of a product for a simple "coming soon" page...
Umh, even if this wasn't a while back (which it obviously was) there are quite a few places where you can still download KaZaA Lite...Here for example...
Now would be the time to mention the Transition Service offered by Progeny. They will start offering updates as of May 1, 2004 for RedHat 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0...
Their service is $5/mo per server. We have 3 RedHat 7.3 servers that are still in testing (just ready to go live) and these systems will be around for a long time to come...I can assure you that we will probably be buying one of these licenses for each of these systems...
What RedHat really needs to do is offer an upgrade path from RedHat Linux/Fedora to one of their server distros...
Just a WAG, but I would venture to say that this means that there very well may be problems at M$ with respects to the XBox and the XBox 2...
The XBox hasn't really been labeled a huge success yet...and for a major exec to leave at the end of the XBox's life will not look good on his resume...
This probably means that there are both problems with current XBox sales (this is pretty well know), current game development (companies like EA not developing for your console can have this effect), XBox 2 development (it's likely that they are making the same mistakes they made on the XBox)...
But, then again, maybe this means that the XBox is getting ready to make a comeback and shoot past Sony for overall dominance in the console market and Ed just wanted to give someone else the limelight <snicker>
Even if I gave any credit to the Guardian, the article says that they are building facilities...or did you notice that they are also building a courtroom...these are not civilians...many of these prisoners were caught with a gun in their hands, trying to kill Americans...

Does it work with Avast!??? This is the scanner that I install and recommend, as it is free for personal use...
:)
I would like to know if I need to start recommending another scanner...or better yet...Linux

No, it's much easier than that. When M$ was marketing Windoze 95, they went around saying that a virus couldn't be written for their new OS...
Those that have heard any of the circa '95 M$ talks to users groups should be able to confirm this...
