  1. Liars on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    I would agree with many posts here but the fact is users lie. Sometimes I just don't want to hear their lies. When an employee asks me to change their password because they can't login I'll change it. But when an employee comes to me with some lame excuse that their password changed and they don't know how (they forgot it) I get fed up and tell them not to give me an excuse and that I don't want to hear it.

  2. Fonality is not open souce on Nortel Strong-Arms Open Source Vendor Fonality · · Score: 1

    Fonality uses a modified Asterisk kernel. They are not open source. Their system is as proprietary as Nortel's.

  3. Re:This company has been doing this for years on 3D Virtual Reconstructions From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Have a look at their product ImageModeler. From their website "ImageModeler allows to measure and create photo-textured 3D objects from multiple photographs taken all around the objects." I have used a couple of times and it works very well. Their other products are quite inovative, at least, at the time they were created.

  4. This company has been doing this for years on 3D Virtual Reconstructions From Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    REAL VIZ has been doing this stuff for years. They even have a few movies under their belt where their software has been used. http://www.realviz.com/

  5. Re:VoIP is not cheaper on Solutions for Small Business VoIP? · · Score: 1

    That's a load of bull. VoIP is extremely cheaper for small businesses. I have consistantly saved customers over $500 a month on their phone bill with only a ~$5,000 entry fee. You can't beat that ROI.

    This might work: http://www.sandia.gov/media/NewsRel/NR2001/vizcor. htm

    I saw this thing in person. It's amazing.

  8. Re:Power Rocks on Dynamic Logical Partitioning for Linux on POWER · · Score: 1

    This news is great to see on Slashdot. I think companies will start to adopt the POWER architecture mainly due to it's long term roadmap. POWER 6 and 7 are going to be even better. The only thing that will slow adoption is price. They are quite expensive which was one of Apples choices to move to Intel.

  9. Done for years on Dynamic Logical Partitioning for Linux on POWER · · Score: 3, Informative

    This has been available from IBM for years. I've only started with POWER 4 but I think it was available a few versions back as well with limited functionality on Linux. The more advanced features recently came available with the release of the POWER 5 processor. Nearly all of the RAS features are now available for Linux on IBM that have been available for AIX.

    They also support Redhat and SuSE. Good stuff!

  10. .NET Dead? on Windows Vista Tool Targeted By Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    Didn't Microsoft recently admit that .NET was a failure? If so, why are they including it in the core of Windows Vista?

  11. Secure? on Florida Man Charged For Stealing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    For as worrisome as it seems, wireless mooching is easily preventable by turning on encryption or requiring passwords.

    Anyone with a wi-fi card, a laptop and the right programs could break WEP within 5 minutes depending on how heavily it's being used at the time. It's insane the false security the authorities are relaying to people about wi-fi security.

  12. Google Cache on SLI Primer · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Kerberize?!? on Where are the 'Modern' Directory Services? · · Score: 1

    I've personally never used it. However, I deal a great bit with it's creator at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Kerberize was a term coined by Apple. This can be seen in Apples training materials. Nowhere else will you see the word "kerberize."

  14. Kerberize?!? on Where are the 'Modern' Directory Services? · · Score: 1

    Kerberize is a term that Apple coined if I ever heard one.

  15. Redundant Article on The Japanese/American Tech Deficit · · Score: 1

    An article like this was on /. awhile ago. The reason the previous article said this is because the Japense are willing pay top dollar for the top of the line gadgets while Americans don't.

  16. Re:This has been around for years on Coming soon: Google TV? · · Score: 1

    That's incorrect. Virage and eMotion can have compelete automation integration without human intervention at all. I've personal put solutions together that did this.

  17. This has been around for years on Coming soon: Google TV? · · Score: 1

    It's called Virage Video Logger. Large companies like ABC have used this forever. Search through news , tv shows, etc... http://www.virage.com/

  18. Terror Level on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds about as vague as the current terror level colors.

  19. Re:The "free" accounts do NOT get 2GB! on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    It's $19.99 a year, not a month.

  20. Many Solutions on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I work for an integrator that does nothing but storage solutions.
    There are many solutions that support 10 or more hard drives. However, they are not inexpensive. Xyratex makes these enclosures and I would say they are the cheapest considering the functionality. Nexsan is another one. If you go with a manufactured solution I would recommend you look at other things than price. Some enclosures just fall apart after time.

  21. Product Specific Farm on Renderfarm Setup Tips? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest you look into a product specific rendering cluster. For example, Alias Maya, Newtek Lightwave, etc... I have a render farm with all of the render clients on the same machines. So whether the project requires a specific application I can use the same computers to render.

    Phpnuke.org used to do that before their recent changes.
