Most Windows apps insist on opening a GUI when started, and very seldom confine themselves to just one function (ie they'll roll the functionality of both mkisofs and cdrecord -- and perhaps a few others -- into a single app).
Do a search on burning iso images as CDs on Windows 2000. You will see there is a command line version of both mkisofs and cdrecord present in Windows 2000. Nearly every thing that is built into the OS currently has CLI. So this is a bad example of differences. MS is trying hard to reinvent Unix and in the scripting respect they get high marks from me.
You're clearly confused. MS Office and OpenOffice are applications, not operating systems
I think you are following his confusion. You argue that his example has to do with apllications and not the OS, then you counter it by listing things that Unix Apps can do from a script. mkisofs and cdrecord ARE NOT UNIX they are utilities or programs.
Are their any other methods that I haven't thought of?
There are companies which provide a service where drives are dropped off and picked up daily and taken offsite. Removable drives were practically designed for this.
Seems to be the example of why nothing is outdated. To me they seem to be the example of what is wrong with IT. 50 Something year old paranoid people running MIS departments absolutely oblivious to new technology.
Patching in 24 hours is as Obi Wan said "dependent on your point of view" Microsft is going to be announcing new vulnerabilities once a month and releasing the patches at the same time. So, I imagine this to be the announcemt:
Microsoft announced today a horrible buffer overflow that lets grandmothers running quickbooks take control of all your pr0n, but they also issued the patch already....yay M$.
But this is a country which has hundreds of people locked up, with currently no prospect of seeing their day in court, or even a lawyer.
I can tell your' glass is always half empty. Locked up, no day in court, no charges, no rights or even fair representation. But do you mention, no bill for staying on a luxurious tropical island paradise?
True C64ers know what the ";" did at the end of line 10.
What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do? What did it do?
All in all, I'm thankful I was "raised" on the C64 and I'd like to think I learned a lot from it.
You should be glad! Todays kids growing up on Windows are more "comfortable" on the computer, but that is because they have a more comfortable computer. We had to 'hack' everything if we didn't just want a game system. Every kid knew what a 'goto loop' was and why you should avoid using it, but if you must then you should use a conditional. A SEVEN year old could tell you that in the 80s. We were da bomb!
DAMN! I am a basic programmer and did not know about this!!! C64 is much more fun than C++ will ever be. My first computer project ever was a railroad yard simulation on the C64 in 7th grade. Later that year Model Railroader had plans for a similar program complete with a SERIAL interface board that could control your model RR. I dreamed of building this (while my friends dreamt of girls). Now I have NO life and they have NO cash. I am not sure if it was worth it;-}
Could someone please explain to this lowely Helpdesk Technician what the hell a PHB is?
Easiest explanation, the guy who says that he will fire you if you don't show him the DAMN ANY key.
Seriously, the Pointy Haired Boss from Dilbert. Dilbert know it well as it is/.speak
I have seen the people that they hire when not in secret. Seriously, I had a guy in two weeks back to train me on my new I-series server. I helped him set it up then showed him how to connect to the internet, then I skipped the training in disgust.

Additionally, without being a DB programmer a linux specialist should understand that the above is just a fancy way to say 'positive'
I think you just made my point.
You were trying to say that?!?! Uh, glad I could help.
