Why is it so easy for lawmakers to make a change to the time, yet they can't make the freaking change to the metric system to be like "the rest of the world". I wish we (speaking as an American) would convert to the metric system. Even though it doesn't negate the S.A.E. completely, it will overtime take its place.
Don't challenge me. I'm not the one writing books and getting paid for it. I'm also not a professional editor by any means.
I stated that I enjoyed the book, and I would recommend it, since I have been running Postfix for quite sometime, I used the book as a backup to the older Richard Blum book. I have not yet had the opportunity to proof-read the entire book. I've only been though parts that has been revised as of the latest few releases of Postfix.
Yes, I am glad you have posted an errata, as I said in my original post, I have it printed and placed in the book, I also have astrisks noting the mistakes in case I ever use something from the book. Learn to handle some constructive criticism, and make your latter publishings better from them.
We use a Sensaphone 1104 (my boss is a real geek). It will dial phone numbers, send pages if certain conditions are met regarding the server room. Sensaphone offers many more products that do similiar tasks.
I've been using postfix for quite a few years now, and I wouldn't think of switching to anything else. I'm sure there are published benchmark's out there that compare the system to another, but that isn't what this book is about. This book is about configuring Postfix, why should it spew worthless info about why it is better that MTA X? Essentially this book is assuming, "you bought this book? You're using Postfix".
One thing that I think really goes unnoticed about Postfix is that it is a drop-in replacement for sendmail, you have to admit, that generally (ala in most cases) *nix is built around sendmail as the MTA. Postfix can drop-in and act in any part just like sendmail, keeping current sendmail commands and directories, whilst being secure like it is.
As far as the book is concerned, my biggest disappointment with the book is the large errata that they have posted on their site. I would have waited until the 2nd publishing of this book if I had any idea that it was going to be published soon, but there are several key mistakes in the book that sort of bothers me. Don't get me wrong, I understand that nothing is perfect, and that all books and published articles have their mistakes, but some of the mistakes that were made in this book stand out. That would be my biggest disappointment with the book. I have printed off the errata and placed it in the book and noted areas that were incorrect.
We just got the new Symantec 10 version. An IT co-worker of mine installed it independent of the control center, and we have noticed major problems with it already too. Outlook works fine, however it completely breaks Thunderbird, and also the terrible performance hit that Windows XP took on his machine. We have the control center installed on a Win 2003 server right now, but the server is completely bare, but there is really no performance hit with nothing else running. We are still testing it though.
The sad part of this is, that my dad and I once had this conversation a couple of years back (related to the original 3 Star Wars). He always kept nit-picking at them, explaining to me that Luke should have two shadows (if I remember correctly Tattooine had 2 suns, I could be wrong). I guess thats what I get for having a physics teacher for a father.
I can't even imagine working for someone like this for 6-7 months, let alone 6-7 years. How could you possibly put up with this guy for this long, and not realize it was a bad place to be in. Or did you realize this, and weigh out (salary vs phb'ness; with salary winning) the consequences. I have to believe that at some time after getting hired into the position you're at now you would have realized how your boss is, and made moves to get out of the company.
If you did the mental battle of salary vs crazy boss, you had to realize that your resignation would end like this, right?
I like to consider myself a hard worker, and a loyal employee, but I have a really hard time dealing with a boss like this, why did you stick around this long?
I think that 3,080 in the linux community is probably not the greatest amount to come up with statistics regarding linux usage. I just don't find a survey of 3,000 computer users online to be useful.
What they need is a graph to show the incredible (~25% drop; 4,151 to 3,080) of people taking part in this stupid poll.
I was two sentences into this article when I thought about the condition of Michigan's roads. I was already thinking about a post on how ironic it was that it was the Univ. of Michigan that developed this concrete, and look at the road conditions. As the article noted, it is perfect conditions here in Michigan to test this new concrete.
It really depends on what sort of users you plan on having on your system. I understand you say that you have computer (read: Windows) literate people, but, I have seen people that I would consider have a decent ability to navigate and use various Windows okay, and just absolutely freak out when they see a CLI.
I'd really recommend a tutorial course given by yourself, or by some other member of IT, to familiarize your users with the CLI. I like my prompt very simple and plain, but informative enough for me, for example, in ZSH, I use: prompt='[%T][%n@%m][%~] '
and that is informative enough for me. If you do something simple like this in the global rc file, and then even personalize it a little more on per user basis.
The company that I recently joined is/has been using RightFax, and it seems like a quality product, I spoke with our local helpdesk and there are a very low occurance of problems with it.
I had a friend that would always punch the monitor (ouch!). I told him that was probably not the best thing he should do when he gets upset at the computer.
Does this remind any of you of that video that was circulated years ago, with the guy in the cubicle going nuts on his computer, and throwing it at the wall, outside of his cubicle? < quiet & devious > "I'll burn this place down one day."
The problem is. . . For a lot of contractors I see nowadays, the contract is the most defining part of your job responsibility, and isn't the job outline or job responsibility listed in the contract? I don't think you could get off by just shredding the contract, but I would have someone (preferable a lawyer) draft a contract that suits your, and the clients needs.
. . . I think a nice RSS feed would be great for searching jobs, but I'm just wondering if there could be more advanced functions added to is, so it would make it a custom RSS feed (So it doesn't show jobs that I'm not interested in, or have already applied for).
What it sounds like to me is that Australia has some pro-union legislation in place. I'm not familiar with Australia, or the job force down there; but after reading this article it sounds like there are some unions down there that got some legislation passed in their favor.
Born and raised in Utah, and I will call Utah a "religious dictatorship". Part of my family is LDS (minority), and the rest are not (majority). The republicans got what I like to call the "Bubba" vote, and the fact that Utah goes along with the "Bubba" vote, just shows that much more. Don't even bring up politics to the LDS in Utah, as they have voted for a fair number of idiots for government (Jim Hanson being one of the biggest morons I've ever seen). The mid-west is the "Bubba" vote.
Everybody has different experiences, and most people (hopefully) will base this off their own experience.
What I recommend is to go to the University directly after school. Don't worry about not know what you want to major in, it will come to you in time, and during that time, you can be taking your general education classes (which will give you more of an idea of what you can possibly major in).
There are a bunch of other factors that I'm sure can/will come into play for you. But also consider (maybe it will apply), you parents will probably be more likely to loan you money to go to school, while you're younger, rather than older.
From my own experience, I have found that it is harder getting back into University after leaving it, I'm guessing the same will apply to taking a year off.
Correct me in wrong on this one about the membership deal. (I was born and raised in Utah, and spent the majority of my life there). But the whole membership rule at bars and stuff is actually because/for smoking regulations, and not drinking regulations.
What I have seen in SE Michigan, most of the companies looking for IT personnel are going through staffing agencies, headhunters, etc. I got my A+ a couple of months ago, just so my resume looks a little more appealing to the headhunters out there doing searches for local companies. It does matter, and I'm no way embarassed (sp?) I got it, and I put it on my resume. I haven't quite finished off my degree yet, and I got a fair amount of professional experience (4 years or so), and the A+ certification doesn't hurt me in any way, it only helps get noticed by some of the staffers out there.
I recently saw "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea", and their probably were two points brought up in the movie that religious fundamentalists could see as being "biased".
I believe the first point brought up is they made an estimate as to when the earth was created (I'm can't remember exactly, but I'll assume that they went with the standard 6 billion years old), and they also said how life was probably created in the water, they did a little spiel about ameobas (sp?) and how it is impossible to find fossils or do any dating of ameobas or their non-existant fossils (All of which probably isn't/shouldn't be looked on as a negative thing by the religious fundamentalists).
I thought this technology has been around for quite a while? Isn't it really similiar to something that the military uses, and that they used to use in the 1940s-1950s? I know that both my mother and father and I think most kids of their generation (born 1945-1950), have permenant marks left by a vaccination in their arm, in which they didn't use a needle; they used a similiar method as the one described here to inject the vaccination.

I know Cool Edit Pro would normalize the music how you stated in your post (find an average throughout the whole song), but I believe there is a way you can normalize in spots. I use Cool Edit Pro all the time to take out noise of my music files. If all else, you can NOT choose the normalize option (if in fact in will only calculate the average for the whole song, and not just a snippet) and manually normalize it by hand by adjusting the values for a small section of a song (which I know you can do).
