    Unlikely as they probably cant find some else's ass with both hands, and if they can, they are impotent anyways so it just dangles at the entrance.

  5. Lacks COrproate migration on Why Desktop Linux Hasn't Taken Off · · Score: 1

    Sorely lacking in integration with current Enterprise. Face it, most people get their primary exposure to computers in their workplace. If it does not have complete integration/Replacement of existing Server 2008R2 Active Directory & Group Policy it wont fly. GP allow IT to assign resources (disk space, networked printer, applications) and lock them down so the luser cant fiddle with and break the sanctioned setup. The lengths they will go to to work around restrictions so they can SEE THE DANCING BUNNIES must be seen to be believed. It needs automated tools/samples to migrate existing A lot of it is out there in bits and pieces (many of which are not free, so there is a budget hurdle, as well). SAMBA4 is not ready for Group Policy yet, no app for editing it (you have to MS tools) and the replication of the system directory hierarchy between AD global catalogs has not been created yet. It appears to work well enough for a single site/domain deployment, but has a ways to go before it will support a forest & multi-site environment.

    Do the BPI members use the same Hollywood accounting methodology to pay their contracted artists, like charging "breakage" against digital music download sales? If so then the BPI concern over the artists getting paid is hypocritically laughable.

  18. Re:Number One! on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 1

    What I hate is text formatting and the way that Outlook will randomly change my font color

    Of what possible use are font colors in an email? If you send it to me it gets stripped to plain text anyways, so I will never see the lolcats background in your "personalized" email style. Similarly, my outgoing is plain text, unencumbered by thousands of extra bytes in an kludgy MS "attachment". If I need to use more advanced formatting, I will send an odt document as a real attachment. Are you one of those deranged people that longs to send their SMS messages in comic sans?

  19. Re:Anyone want to translate this into dummy speak? on Major OpenSSL Security Issue Found (and Fixed) · · Score: 1

    ASN.1 has been the bane of all the standards that ever adopted it (SNMP anyone?) and should have been shot years ago.

    So what is the alternative?
    While I grasp teh main concepts of snetwork security, I'm relatively ignorant of the nitty gritty details of endpoint security negotiation, what, if any, is a better alternative to ASN and is there a URL that might hint how one might configure it (indicate a preference) for SSH or SSL connections.
