First thing I did was figure out how to recompile pppd to support ms-chap encryption. My uni had Windows servers for their dialup access, argh!
It was a RH 5 CD that came with some book I bought. That was my standard way of getting linux cd's back then, because downloading CDs with a 9600 modem was painful). I remember downloading netscape taking almost a full weekend.
CalDav exists, I have looked at it and decided it was not worth the effort (yet) to install software that implements CalDAV protocol, when compared to what I do:
- I enable WebDAV module on apache 2 - Clients use Thunderbird with "Lightning" extension or "Sunbird". Basically the same software but one is an extension to thunderbird and the other is a standalone app. - Cients use a "Network Calendar" in Thunderbird that points to "http://my.server.com/WebDav/Username.ics"
voila, quick and easy.
We are a very small company, and that works for me, (we have about 10 "online calendars") but I couldn't imagine doing this in a large org without some sort of directory integration or autimatic configure scripts or something like that.
It is nice for the users to be able to access their calendar anywhere where they have HTTP access:-)
I followed some guides that were for ubuntu, although I don't use ubuntu, all concepts are the same. Google will yield short but usefult "quick guides" for this.
In the other respects, I do as you do (postfix for MTA, dovecot for IMAPs, etc etc)
For that matter, they could have hooked up over the phone or whatever other means you can think of (so all of a sudden ATT or whomever would have to verify age/identity of caller???). I don't really think Myspace has anything to do with this.
except by having a nintendog you wouldn't be saving any dogs, heh
I fail to see having a nintendog could be a replacement for a living being. I mean, the game's probably nice (haven't played) but it's just a gameboy game.
I agree there. I have installed mySAP (downloaded from SAPs webpage) fro evaluation/testing purposes (we have a couple products thati ntegrate with SAP for fax/sms sending), and have set it up quite easily.
Only bitch about that particular version is that it NEEDED an older version of RedHat o run. I think it was 6.1 or 6.2, but the install was quite easy, as long as you knew how to read a shell script and install maybe an RPM or two.

How do you know what happens when the system goes down? It seems it's never gone down for you.
Just curious:-)
has been doing this for at least a year.
I've never actually tried it, but knowing the general quality of service of the Auna/Amena/Eresmas group, I would imagine it probably sucks big time.
Has anyone in Spain tried it and had it work?
I think it was this page. As far as I an tell they're not crippled in any way, which is nice because I need them for testing platforms for WAS, ORacle etcetera (need to test stuff before we deploy at customer sites):-)
You know, you might offend some of us Spaniards when you say that "spain has little to offer most western countries outside a place to vacation and a couple of pretty women".
Spain has a lot more to offer, just like any other country, and I hope you have the opportunity to taste the friendliness, climate, food and evrything else here:-) I'm sure your thoughts will change after that.
See ya,

I've been having this exact conversation with a bunch of my friends lately...
What happened to the 1960's idea of technological advancement, where in the future computers and machines would produce stuff while humans could have more time to spend on doing the things they like?
Was it a lie to sell us all this new crap, or was it idealism? I'm kind of cynical about all this.

Yeah my recent experience with Canons is the same, I've seen them "just work" most of the time.
But I am sure it wasn't that way a while back, so that's probably why the parent had a bad experience.

Well, they sort of DID choose Open Office, except that they chose the native MacOS X port of it instead of the "plain" version.

Here in Spain we just call the movie "Ghost". don't ask me why!! :-)
Cedric
Yeah just make sure your battery never goes kaput, heh.
I can feel your pain.
Same here (BCN)
yes, I was thinking something like product placement becoming the norm, and us not even realizing
Wel, DVR's are sometimes used to segregate ads from content so then you can watch what you want.
Just imagine when ads and content are the same thing, and when you buy, say a DVD, what you're really buying is the ads buried within.
hm.

I just finished this book yesterday. Nice to find a quote on /. the next day, jeje :-)
I think if they didn't reload the whole page, but only the part the picture and text (and made the refresh rate a bit slower) it would actually be OK.

Not that anyone actually believed it.

If you're using Active Directory in any way, well, 2003 is what 2000 should have been like. It works much better.
