Slow and expensive sounds horrible to me... I worked on a farm here in America every summer while growing up. They now use the NZ style of rotational grazing plus they put in a milking parlor using some NZ techniques. Some of the stuff that you guys come up with in NZ is pretty neat. I liked the idea of the large round concrete platform that rotated using water as a friction reducing fluid. I don't have more details but basically the idea was the cow gets one and by the time the thing has gone 3/4 around the cow gets off and is done being milked.
I wish I knew more about the results of subsidies. At heart I just hate the idea as it smacks of a quick fix and I really want to blame some things on subsidies for the results we have today but I don't know enough to comment really...
Hm... So when you type in "gg search terms" it actually goes to google.com and uses "search terms" for the search? Or does "gg" just take you to google and you type in your query there? I'll have to go check this out...
Plus the computer has to monitor the flow of the milk to check for globs of mastitis material and maybe check the udder for hardness. In my opinion this sounds interesting but milking parlers have really made the whole milking process pretty efficient. Somehow the human putting on the unit and observing the health of the cow makes me a bit more comfortable with the system.
Konqueror does it much nicer in my opinion. In the URL bar simply type gg: whatever (for google) and ggg: whatever (for groups.google). Very nice for touch typists. I can't find an equivalent in Moz. besides the tab down which gets annoying due to the fact that the number of tabs changes based on your url history.
Of course the best thing would be to make the input routine a bit more intelligent and send almost everything with a space or two off to the search engines...
Oh and xenu.net is 4th! What is going on here? Did Google have an emergency corporate clam bake over this or something? Looks like things might be going back to "normal."
I just got new glasses and the doctor suggested two perscriptions - a lower one for work on the computer (works great for reading too) and a higher one for driving, etc. I've only had them a week and while switching glasses is slightly annoying so far I'm happy. You don't mention if you are near sighted or far sighted but this might work for you...
This sounds like a troll to me but really, the simple thing is to put redhat 6.2 or 7.2 on that AMD machine and keep on trucking. If you're really paranoid about her coming back to redo WinXP then go buy vmware or one of the other emulators and tab switch between the two.
Of course a commercial company could step in and write a "downgrader" for MS Office documents that could automatically be run on incoming mail (or insert your ideal usage here).
Why are you beating yourself up with the same card? Go to eBay and buy an Intel PCMCIA NIC for $20. It definately sounds like an odd problem but I can think of about 10 different places to ask about this before coming to/..
If you want something nice get a Xircom or similar with the built in jack so you don't have a crappy dongle.
So you can buy a desktop preloaded with linux. If you want a cheap one do it yourself. There isn't much benefit in HP or Dell providing one. Note that I didn't read this whole thread as I don't feel like wasting time doing so as the arguements are probably the same old regurgitated crap. So if you guys are argueing about cheap desktops oh well.
Take a closer look at the Dells. Some are "workstations". Obviously not quite the same as a cheap desktop (and I'm all for inexpensive desktops) but it isn't just servers...
As far as "not buying the products", you tell me where to buy a Windows-free PC and I'll run there; oh wait, you guys are harassing white-box shops that do that, and you certainly won't be able to get one from the major companies like Compaq, HP, Dell, etc.
I don't put a lot of stock in Amazon.com reviews but this one is odd - almost half are negative and from apparently younger readers while a bit more than half are positive (and generally written with more care). The 2nd edition paperback can be brought for $26 used from Amazon.com.

Well that is kinda why people flame MySQL so much (*). In PostgreSQL and Oracle you have triggers and things like pl/sql and much more that I don't know about. Basically you can put a lot of the business logic in the database and use features that tie records together and protect against accidental deletions. Basically imagine another layer that handles a lot of checks and balances that free you from having to do the same in your perl/php/tcl/whatever code.
That's why I have learned so far...
* Plus of course ACID and all that other stuff that some people really love to argue about.
Bingo! I forgot about the two way chat feature. I think I used that all of one time. Definately used the SIO drivers. HS/Link... Those certainly were the good old days. You ever search groups.google.com to see if any of your handles show up on there from the BBS days? I found some of mine the other day (apparently some of the discussion groups were broadcast to usenet).
Thanks for the post. I hate little things that keep churning away in the back of my mind:).
Speaking of Xmodem - remember Ymodem, Zmodem, and all those? What was the one that allowed you to do bidirectional transfers? I can't remember what it's called and I'm bugging out. I remember using it on OS/2 and it had a $15 license fee (shareware).
Or how about not spending the time on the CGI to make it "only work between the users and customers you set up" and use it? A PHP script for this would take all of 10 minutes. Of course if that is all the time you spent on it in a couple months they'd be calling you back bitching about a server out of disk space. So budget two days of development work and you got yourself a system humming away with minimal administration costs.
File transfer by email doesn't make sense when the files start to get bigger than a couple megs...
Is this fairly common? How many companies do this? I'm going to note this down on something to look at when looking for a new job but I'm wondering how many blank stares I'm going to get.
Well to answer my question it appears Samba-TNG is what I should be looking at... Specifically the Samba TNG and Unix Accounts with LDAP page and the other documentation here.

Well one of the two adverts or whatever they are called was to rotten.com... Maybe it slipped through?
Don't worry about it. Just enjoy the warmth of the fun loving moderat(er|ors) of the day.

Ah! Google has this site:

Unfortunately I don't think it was HydraCom.
That was ages ago. I remember it rocking because it made it much easier to keep up with the upload/download ratio.
What does x0rfbserver provide that plain VNC doesn't? Or why do you use it instead of VNC or with VNC?
