Whats good CMS to migrate from Joomla? Our corporate website is about to get full overhaul and I'd perfer to switch away from the ancient Joomla we're running now.
I won't touch the design of the site, I'll leave that to the advertising company, but what I'm looking for is easy way to create and manage content on multilingual web page. Can someone suggest good alternative?
Your home network is not like all other networks. There are multiple valid reasons to give printer publicly accessible ip. Atleast in corporate networks.
I loathe notes/domino and yet I'm forced to use it every day(from another companys servers). I'd love to fix certain idiotisms in it to fit my preferences if it were opensource.
Seriously, which f*cking application locks screen after pressing F5 on email screen, instead refreshing the screen?
I hate domino aswell, but if I had option to use it for free, I'd deploy it companywide without hesitating. It just works, and since I'm working at small company with limited resources, we simply cannot afford to deploy exchange/domino/whatever commercial groupware and thus were stuck with cheaper webmail-thingy. It works for our needs, but I'd rather have something better still.
I have Danmere backer card somewhere in my storage shelves. That device converted data to video signal and basically turned your vcr into tape storage drive. It managed to store something like ~1GB/hour with normal vhs tape.
Problem with the technique was that the card had no way of controlling the vcr. You had to play the whole 3 hour tape through to restore single file if I recall correctly.
I know microsoft ripped kerberos and ldap to ad and crippled them while doing so.
Since this has been done years on unix systems, care to link a howto / etc documentation on deploying such system? No, I don't mean guides explaining how to install kerberos and ldap.
I haven't been able to find guide on deploying active directory-like system with free software which would offer group policy features. When I already have groups deployed in LDAP, why do I need to script installers instead just defining policy to install software to that group?
Self-updating is not problem, apt-cron etc will handle that.
The problem is, I have new software which I need to deploy to 4000 machines overnight. Do I really have to reimage 4000 machines to achieve that goal? What about user files on those desktop machines? Reimaging would wipe them clear. (ok, home directory on separate partition/on network would fix this)
Having something automatically installed/uninstalled on machines centrally deployed is the problem here.

That system sounded too nice to be true at first. Though I asked for OSS alternatives, let me rephrase, are there any FREE OSS alternatives for this task? Is the only alternative to write shell script to ssh into every machine and do the install?
On windows environment you use active directory and sus.
How do you centrally manage software installs and permissions on thousands of machines with oss? Handful of servers is easy to handle but how are logins and home directories handled in environment this scale?
Microsoft has truly lost its tracks during last 5 years.
Most of their new operating systems have been home-customer-directed teletubby-like interfaces for home-users.
Yet, 90% of Microsoft customers are corporate. Corporate customers don't care about aero or some fancy gui transparency.
Corporate customers want OS that looks and performs like windows 2000, is as secure as XP and doesn't cause excess load on their IT departments.
Vista and Office 2007 both failed miserabely with these requirements.
Office 2007 is being adopted since openoffice isn't ready just yet, but vista can be skipped since XP is good enough for 90% purposes.
Next 5 years, we'll see microsoft plummetting and losing its track even more, while linux and apple keeps gaining it's lost market share.
Once they realize they've truly lost it and try to regain monopoly, they come up with some system which is advanced enough to fulfill needs of customers for next 5 years.
Sadly, vista nor windows 7 will be that system and we corporate windows sysadmins are screw'd.
F* you microsoft for destroying my liver, since alcohol seems to be the only proper way to deal with your shit on daily basis.
I write alot of code and db structures on paper first. It helps me visualize the problem better. Also essential for trying to decipher code someone wrote in hungarian notation.
I used to keep a diary which I wrote with stylus pen on pda. I think it formed my handwriting to different style, I used to write only cursive before, but now I mostly write print.
For talented crackers, it would be relatively easy to cover their tracks by using several compromised machines as proxies for their attack. China has large internet user base and the average Jin would likely secure their home machine as well as average Joe across the ocean.
>The only people who write worse (un)installers than Symantec is Adobe. I truly think they have nothing but brain-dead chimps on their install team.
I have to agree with that 100%. It is nearly impossible to uninstall acrobat reader 6/7 after installing 8. They don't even provide cleanup tool to fix their shit, so it's manual labor all the way.
Removing Norton is simple, it just takes few steps.
Just open Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or remove programs and uninstall it. Reboot.
If the install asks for password, the password is symantec.
After reboot uninstall Live-Update, also from control panel. Reboot.
Then download norton removal tool and run it to make sure it's gone.
The domain does slow things alot since the startup loads alot of stuff on workstations, but still, even slower xp machines boot up in less than 10 minutes.
Something in that standard setup really breaks down vista, since that workstation isn't the only vista machine suffering from the same symptoms.
Most problems witnessed seem to relate to symantec, office 2007 and sql server.
Either would randomly freeze and turn the system inoperable.
The system reliability monitor kept running around 5-7 days uptime before sp1, after installing sp1 the number fell below 3.
I had vista on my work laptop for 6 months, I kept hoping that SP1 would fix everything.. after installing it.. I downgraded to XP.
The result?
Battery life went from 1h 40min to 2h 30minutes.
The system now boots to usable state in 3 minutes. With vista, it took 28 minutes to actually get to login screen. After logging in it took another 5 minutes to actually do anything.
I don't have constant UAC annoyance (yes I know that can be turned off, but it was touted to be one of the good new features)
I can actually use 3 legacy corporate programs we need daily which didn't run on vista.
You might assume the laptop was old, but no. It's brand new! Yet my home laptop 4 years old running XP felt 3x faster than the new dual core machine with 3gb memory!
Under the line:
I can get more work done therefore costing less to my employer!
As for w2k, we still run it on few computers. Why upgrade since it works flawlessly and those machines aren't connected to public network.
I don't see any reason for vista deployment. It's like Windows ME all over again.
Only good thing with vista is downgrade right to xp from business and ultimate.

I understand this point perfectly.

Gmail supports mail for your own domain aswell. See here
It also supports existing domains so you don't have to register new one.
If you open source the game, anyone can read from source how all the quests and puzzles work.
Kinda defeats the point of playing..

Is symbian devel environment still considered as form of S/M or has it evolved into something usable during last 3 years?
Haven't tried it since.

It's called MultiSIM. Same phone number can be used on multiple phones.
Though I'm not sure how GSM network would react if I cloned IMEI address of two phones to identical and used multisim with them.
I remember having lynx trigger which spawned Fbi when image was clicked, displaying the image in frame buffer.
Old sierra games were worth buying just for their boxes!
The box-art was simply amazing.
Let alone the game content.

.. if someone comes to me the same day that they lost their file ..
I restore the file instantly from shadow copy.
If your fileserver is running linux, you can use Stackable VFS to achieve same thing.
When you have environment with multiple domains and +2000 machines per domain, strange things tend to happen.
The domain does slow things alot since the startup loads alot of stuff on workstations, but still, even slower xp machines boot up in less than 10 minutes.
Something in that standard setup really breaks down vista, since that workstation isn't the only vista machine suffering from the same symptoms.
