  4. Re:Sophos AV on Alternative Enterprise Anti-Virus Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Do NOT choose Sophos AV. It is terrible and expensive.

    Here are some specifics:

    WINDOWS CLIENT
    * The Windows client generates extra log information. Each
        workstation event log should be set to a 1024KB maximum and to
        overwrite as needed.
    * Failed messages queue indefinately. I've seen 500MB+ processes.

    MAC CLIENT
    * The Mac client is unable to communicate with the server
        (Enterprise Console) while the firewall is on. The Mac clients
        initiate communication with the server with a round
        non-privileged source port. For whatever reason/error/bug the
        firewall prevents the server from responding to the same
        non-privileged port
    * The Mac client logs all authentication information to a
        world-readable plain-text log file.

    SERVER TROUBLES
    * The Enterprise Console is unable to deal with packet loss (see
        above). This has to be mitigated by a scheduled script that
        deletes the msg envelopes every X hours.
    * Communication requires each client to have a FQDN

  5. GLPI on Inventory Tracking & Purchasing · · Score: 1
    GLPI looks interesting.

    GLPI is an information resource manager with an administration interface. You can use it to build a database with an inventory for your company (computers, software, printers, etc.). It has functions to make the daily life of the administrators easier, including a job/request tracking system with mail notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network topology. It provides a precise inventory of all the technical resources (all their characteristics are stored in a database) and management and history of the maintenance actions and the bound procedures. It is dynamic and is directly connected to the users, who can post requests to the technicians. http://freshmeat.net/projects/glpi/

  8. 2 slots NOT a bit deal on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    having it take up two slots is not a big deal. it is stupid to install anything next to a video card with a fan. it will most likely block the airflow (totally with the help of some dust, pet dander and smoke residue) and the card will die.

    all current cards require 2 slots, 1 for the card and 1 empty to give room for fan/heatsink.

  12. Re:The Che Cafe on That Link Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    '"anarchy" means the absence of ruling authority.'

    is that a dictionary definition? the media usually just uses anarchy as a drop in for "chaos". i believe what the FAQ does very well is document the historical and intelectual development of anarchism as a political system. history, at least in my mind, has much more validity than any dictionary.

    'Thus, true anarchists cannot advocate participatory democracy or progressive taxation'

    historically, anarchism has always been very organized. the absense of authoritarian hierarchical rule does not mean chaos. this is only what those who benifit from such rule would have us believe. why do you say "true" anarchists are against government? were the anarchists in the spanish civil war against the systems of government they set up? are the zapatistas against the system of government they have set up? i'm not sure about taxes, but their exercise of democracy puts the U.S. to shame.

    if i had to deny the complexity of anarchism, i would say it was the "absense of hierarchical power"

    'p.s. Despite your FAQs protestations to the contrary, its brand of quasi-anarcho-socialist is not the only legitimate form of anarchy. It's just the most inconsistant.

    would you be kind enough to point out where they make this claim? how can one anarchist tell another s/he is idealogically invalid? there are historical truths, i suppose. shouldn't anarchism be inconsistant to some extent? isn't there only conformity at the bequest of some great power (ie centralized goverment of media).

    i should hope that anyone who both a) pays taxes in the U.S. and b) has personally seen what those tax dollars fund outside the U.S. would confused to some extent. i have grown very wary of anyone who claims to have all the answers.

    wait...

    i'm not convinced that participatory democracy and progressive taxation are inherently un-anarchistic. anarchy is one of the most abused words in the media. why don't we educate ourselves

  14. bitkeeper on RMS Replies to "The Stallman Factor" · · Score: 1

    this entire thread seems to be just about the gnu/linux thing and egos. what about rms's points about bitkeeper? can we talk about that? i, for one, know very little.

    i know that the bitkeeper people have been very helpful and accomidating. i know they've talked about releasing their code in the future. But, the fact that it is not open does seem like a risk.

    also, the bitkeeper messages needed to get modded up to 3 because that is my threshold.

    thanks.
