    In the good time of the Novel server, they were using a NDS tree Here a link to know what is NDS a very good working tool to administrate the different servers and users. Some of the engineer of Novel helped Microsoft to build their active directory server...

    I can't believe Novell are begining to destroy Open Office with VBA ... There is a lot of memory leak and security holes in vba how can you add those feature ?!!!!

  6. Why disable javascript? Change to firefox ... on Zero-Day IE Exploit In the Wild · · Score: 0, Troll

    "This exploit can be mitigated by turning off Javascripting."

    In fact, I really don't understand why on the news they NEVER recommand to use another browser than IE... Sorry, but when there is an exploit, why disable some web functionality like javascript (I don't have any problem to disable ActiveX (very bad and insecure thing)) to continue to use IE ?!

    I don't understand, is that the Microsoft lobby the reason ?

    And then, I think there is some technology website that are very stupid, like the website silicon.fr, they say the red "panda" for the firefox logo ... -DUH-

  9. I don't think... the problem is elsewhere on Is Microprocessor/Controller Design Dead? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm currently seeking for that kind of job.

    What I've seen, is that the circle of embedded coder/designer is small. So if you are a new graduate, there will be a lot of senior ppl wanting to get the same job than you. So you never can start :-/ or you have to find the place where the senior was working. There is plenty of good jobs, but need to find'em, because the don't get posted on jobs website for long.

    I'm from montreal if you look for a microcontroller designer/coder! I'm interested!

  11. Re:Standby leak is not important on Game Console Energy Usage Comparison · · Score: 1

    Your right, but we don't have the time to wait for "Energy Star 2 appliance" we must act now.

    It's true to reduce the energy sink of my fridge by 10% will be more significant, but with the energy star program, a lot has been done to reduce it. We have to go a step beyond and reduce everything that sink energy for absolutely nothing and you are right, we must increase the efficacity of the products we buy and even look at the power consumption before choosing the product we want (My laptop battery last 30 mins longer when I use Linux than Windows). Why letting your printer in idle (or sleeping) mode to save 30 secs when you want to print something ? Why on my microwave I don't have a hard plug? It's a little effort for us to reduce the CO2 emission it will not be a big difference as everybody change their freezer or their air conditioner to a new one, but it will count.

    We have to do all this at the same time, and since I can't change all of my appliance (they are all energy star anyway) but, the government could help people change their old 20 year old fridge. My parents has a 35 year old freezer, it could convince them to change it for a new one, with a 50% energy bill saving in bonus

  12. Re:Odd... on Game Console Energy Usage Comparison · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you add the power consumption (and leak) for an entire town of 100,000 habs. If 30% of the pop has an xbox360, it cost's 600,000$! It's a lot of energy. And that's why, the idle current leak is not essential. Only think in your house how many appliance has a clock on it?! Everything connected (unless there is a hard switch) leak current. We'll have to think about it very soon. A lot of electricity come from diesel or gaz or worst, coal it's a lot of pollution for absolutely nothing when we think the quantity of energy wasted to have the clock on my microwave and my range, on my coffee machine and soon on my fridge and my toaster.

  15. and the battery ? on Portables as Servers? · · Score: 0

    I'm scared you'll have to change your battery pack often.

    If your laptop is always plugged and sometime there is electricity shortage, il would not be very good on your battery.

    I did plug my laptop on the wall plug everytime, and 6 months after, I can use the battery for about 30 mins. So, i'm not sure it would be a good idea.

    The ups has internal controls to keep the battery in health, not in a laptop.
