Becaus Active Directory is the leading directory service, right now. Nearly all the big players use it. Despite having a fantastic product, Novell's gone downhill big time. Here's to hoping they climb back up and kick ass again, because NDS was wonderful.
You're almost entirely right. NTLM2 is a separate protocol from Kerberos, though. It's used by downlevel clients who can't speak Kerberos, and is also used by your DC's when you're not running in Windows 2000/2003 Native Mode.
OpenLDAP and AD's LDAP crap is both originally based off of the original UMich LDAP code.
Sure NDS is (was?) superior to AD. But we're not talking about NDS, we're talking about AD and OpenLDAP and you're just a blind zealot if you think OpenLDAP scales better.
Let's see, let's try and think of some massive, global-scale OpenLDAP directories... Hmm can't think of any. If you can, let me know, and let me know how many objects they're storing, too.
Let's see, let's try and think of some massive, global-scale Active Directory directories. Hmm, Microsoft, Compaq/HP, IBM, Dell, oh well, you get the idea. Need more examples?
And AD "supports SSL" jsut fine. No, it's not OpenSSL, but it's just your plain old standard SSL.
AD's SSL and LDAP? PHP works with it, Perl works with it, C works with it. Right out of the box. I ought to know, I've coded tons of shit for it because I can't stand the garbage that is VBScript.
You're fucking ignorant and I can't believe you were marked as insightful. You're more of a troll.
Windows has a perfectly fine stable, secure, realiable base. Windows 2000/2003 isn't any less stable than Linux, and has a more robust security model. Hell, Linux hasn't even mainstreamed file/object ACLs yet. Sorry, the UGO model and hacking the NGROUPS_MAX and recompiling doesn't cut it anymore.
What about a directory service that integrates well with Windows and Mac clients? Sorry, OpenLDAP doesn't cut it. It doesn't come close to Active Directory for ease-of-use and scalability.
You people need to get off your Windows 95 kick. Windows 2003 ain't no Windows 95, despite your cluelessness.
So, basically, you're proud that your energy costs are high,
In their case, I would be. They have high energy prices, which produces low-energy/no-energy houses like he describes, people spend less for energy, and the environment is better off. Sounds like a win-win for everyone.
I'm dying for a mature, pre-@stake-like HNN to return. Unfortunately, I must've missed the segments on Slashdot and CNN about Hacker Intel, so I didn't even have a chance to register my happiness.
Being governor of the state of Texas is quite a bit more qualified than dormitory VP at a university, yes. Not to mention the 4 years experience BEING the president of the United States, albeit with questionable skill....
As for the rest of your rant, you're entitled to your opinions, but I don't share them, and even find them laughably naive.
His FUD rant against IBM was quite amusing, considering that he's an executive in a company who's released a series of curious, low-end "funny little boxes". JavaStation... Sun Rays... did anyone really buy, use, and keep using all that crap? No.
I wonder if Microsoft taught Sun execs classes on speaking FUD as a part of the lawsuit settlement...
Yet more hot air from a dying company mismanaging a great, outstanding product (Solaris), that's quickly being swallowed by Linux, Apple, *BSD, and NT, and is so... so out of touch with its customer base, or what's left of it.
Was elected Executive Vice-President of his dormitory at Indiana University, and became a BMOC ('big man on campus') known for getting things done, while always maintaining the high principles instilled by his parents.
No offense, but that's not something I'd put as the first paragraph of my political resume for my PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES campaign.
Then again, it's his right to run.
became an independent computer consultant in 2001
heh.
Became interested in the U.S. Constitution in 1983 and began a life-long journey in self-study of this founding document of the country he is so proud to call his home.
This is respectable but hardly enough to qualify him for ruler of the free world. Though, he does get points for apparently being familiar with the meaning of the Constitution, unlike Bush, Ashcroft, Kerry, et al.
I don't really pay much attention to the progress of the Libertarian party, but if this is the best they can come up with...things are looking pretty sorry for them.
As I said, I know 52 school districts in the country who wouldn't just blindly squander the cash. Better than blindly throwing it at NASA.
You'd think for $260 million, they could afford several plan B's. Although with their history of failures, they don't seem to think too much about them.
I know about 52 school districts in the country who would flip over each getting $5 million in desperately-needed funding. Maybe then we'd push out people smart enough to land a little probe successfully.
What the hell was he supposed to do? Jump up, have secret service grab him and rush off to an awaiting helicoptor in the school parking lot?
Well, yes. He should have done that. Events like 9/11 require a commander-in-chief for emergency response, coordinating a national heightened alert status. Who knew at the time if a similar attack was planned in Los Angeles at 10am?
Scare the kids, parents and the entire nation half to death?
Uhm, they wouldn't be any more scared than they were from the 9/11 attacks themselves.
There were no nuclear missles inbound. There wasn't anything happening that would have destroyed the entire country.
Hindsight is 20/20. He didn't know that. There probably wasn't anything that would have destroyed the entire country, but again, there could have been a synchronized west coast attack that killed ANOTHER 3,000 people.
If he would have rushed out of the room at the arms of the secret service he would have been criticized for scaring the hell out of the entire school.
He didn't have to rush out, he could have excused himself and walked out, instead of sitting there for several more minutes staring blankly and chewing his lip. You thought THAT was showing strength and courage? Haha!
Michael Moore is a liar, its as simple as that. He took facts and twisted and turned them through clever editing to make his own timelines and make up his own "facts".
I agree with you here. He could be so much more potent if he maintained integrity and didn't try to bend facts or outright mislead his viewers. He's an idiot for that. Regardless, he had several good points in his film.
As if this is anywhere near a major ir even above-minor setback.
As a switcher, my advice is to immediately invest $20 into a quality optical Microsoft 2-button mouse. Configure the scrollwheel for F9/Expose functionality.
Other than that, you'll have to get used to using the Apple keys in leiu of the CTRL key in Windows.
It's not just you. This is incredibly absurd and pathetic. I would think that any adult buying this is probably a future serial killer/rapist/panty sniffer risk.
In actuality, it's a long standing philosophical debate
Great. You keep worrying about "philosophy" and I'll worry about paying my bills, paying attention to my girlfriend, and killing any home intruders who were forced to rob me because of their "predetermined chemistry".
Used to have one, awesome phone, but wasn't Symbian OS, didn't (and probably never will) work with ISync, sold it, bought a 3620, haven't looked back. The 6820's thumb keyboard was awesome for composing emails and instant messaging, however. Even had an SSH client on it.

BTW, the "teh" and "pwn" word fads are extremely stupid and juvenile. No wonder you don't get any girls.
Time to get out more...
