    And why would he get arrested for something that he has done but can't be prosecuted for anymore and things that he hasn't yet done and therefore haven't broken any laws yet ? I thought the mantra was "innocent until proven guilty" ?

  2. Lots of HR systems run on Linux on Linux HR Management Systems? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The question wouldn't be that you're looking for a Linux HR system but something that runs on Linux. There are lot's of business apps that run on Linux such as Peoplesoft. They officially support running it on Linux since april '04. SAP HR also does Linux. Lot's of smaller web-based HR systems also run on Apache/WebSphere etc. so integrating those into a Linux oriented infrastructure will not be a problem. Interfacing with the apps mentioned in the question is what every HR application should to correctly (payrolling being no.1) just make a first selection based on rough features and invite the companies over for a chat.

    It's a marketing research report, that should give you enough hints about the validity of the study. Art Spinella, the author of said report is a spin doctor for the American automotive industry. I mean, the guy even has the gonads to claim that an American made regular sedan ha less impact on the environment than a Japanese mini. It was rubbish and has been debunked by many.

    Is that still the one that needs full administrative access to the Exchange server ? I haven't been around Blackberry since I read that one (coupled with the fact that the Blackberry Server couldn't be placed in a DMZ but had to be in direct contact with the Exchange backend.

    Which imho doesn't make the headline any less sensationalist.

    They just lost scanned images, nothing else AND they were able to recreate those images using the original documents anyway.

    How can the thing be out of warranty ? The KB article to which the article links suggests to return the console to Microsoft for repair.

  7. Re:IBM VM on VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server · · Score: 1

    You are missing the point. VMware is so great because it enables you to do VM with regular x86 machines. Which (for a lot of companies, even big ones) is what is available in the datacenter.

  9. Re:Evaluated both Virtual Server vs VMWare Server on VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server · · Score: 1

    Please get some Linux expertise into this project and evaluate either VMware Server on Linux or ESX 3.0 (which you license as a Virtual Infrastructure in Starter / Standard / Enterprise) flavors. If you are serious about running production data centers with virtual servers than you definitely have to evaluate VI3.

    Which is Service Console. In version 3 it's based on RHEL 3 so many people get confused and think they are running RHEL 3.

    That's why they invented guilds. Guilds that are good enough for the end game content usually lack dumbasses.

  13. Correction on the University name on Virus Jumps to RFID · · Score: 3, Informative

    The University is called the "Vrije Universiteit" or VU for short ( http://www.english.vu.nl/home/index.cfm/ ). Which is not "Free as in Beer". It also didn't stand for Free as in: open for everyone. That didn't come along until the 1960's.

    And 4-way Opteron servers, which still haven't arrived in IBM's portfolio. Other than that I like IBM better for everything from flexibility (HP's Sales are far too rigid --> local can't do anything if there's a problem in a global contract) to server design.

  15. Re:Not surprised on McAfee Anti-Virus Causes Widespread File Damage · · Score: 1

    Well, that actually is what it does (analyse on through some form of logic and reporting anomalies to either or both end-user and sysadmin. The issue is that you first have to set up the base security profile for your environment. The usual steps being that you leave the application in "learning" mode over x period of time and then translating all the traffic caught by CSA into the baseline. This gets harder in environments where you restrict user access to the system (example: a section of the population who are only power-user and not local admin) and/or where the user awareness on security is low (the majority of businesses I'm guessing and certainly where I work). This either means an extra effort in the implementation period and/or extra management effort because you get an exponential rise in reports into the policy management system. So every advantage has it's own disadvantages.

  16. Re:Not surprised on McAfee Anti-Virus Causes Widespread File Damage · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Well, Cisco's CSA (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps 5057/index.html) does the exact opposite: you tell it what is allowed to run and it blocks everything else. It also runs a signature analysis so when something that you hadn't configured yet tries to perform an attack it alerts the user. It can become quite a task however to properly configure and you still need user awareness to keep them from clicking "YES" everytime like they do with every other popup they face (the other option is that you manage everything but then you will get flooded with support calls).

  17. Citroën already does that (sort of) on Digital Cameras Help Alert Sleepy Drivers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The new Citroën C5 (http://www.citroen.co.uk/) has a lane departure warning system that detects if the car is leaving it's lane (like if when the driver has nodded off and there is a bend in the road). It only warns when the driver crosses the white line however so collision detection is still a way to go.

    Have you ever tried playing GPL on a P90 ? But I must say that on a PII 400 with a Diamond Viper 16MB nVidia TNT1 card it already looks very pretty. The recent updates (mostly the tracks) however will suck the power from any decent recent setup (P4 2,4 and up / 64MB graphics and up).
