  1. So.... on Monitor a Linux Box With Machine Generated Music · · Score: 1

    Does a server under stress play the Windows login song?

  2. I would welcome it... on Oracle Linux? · · Score: 1

    If ORCL decided to do this I for one would support it. There are so many freaking hoops to jump through to 'correctly install ORCL on linux or solaris or just about any of hte *nixes... Would love to have a preconfigured iso that laid down the OS and was primed and ready for oracle in some fashion... kernel tuned, etc... I know it can be done manually... their whole RAC setup could just totally auto-provision from a single image...

  3. you can't do this NOW... on Zune's Wireless Almost Totally Worthless · · Score: 1

    So there is no internet now... who is saying it cannot be done in a new release or with add-ons down the road? It is a 1.0 MSFT product and those releases are notoriously lacking historically. Did you think they would give you carte blanche to just send music pell-mell? shame on you.. :]

    me? personally? yes... better off... thanks for asking.. would we be better off if we had Mr Kerry when 9/11 happened? maybe we could have sent his debate team over to talk this whole repressed anger thing... i am GLAD we had someone who spoke softly (or what seems like confused) and carried a big stick for the last 5 years in american history. he does not take any bullshit and THAT i like about him. i don't think Kerry had that in him... too much 'lets talk this over' when a firm upper (right) hand is needed.

    the 'fact' that Bush did NOT win? uh.. wait.. not only did he pull this off once, but TWICE??? my gawd... lets turn the freaking page and get on with life lads... you will now probably tell me that you are still pissed you came in second in a spelling bee at the age of 9 and that you have PROOF the other kid cheated and are ready to take him to court and sue for defamation of character...

    i voted republican and am proud to say i did. that being said, i have my issues with all the bs around this last 'war'. i think there are some things that could have been done differently but to be totally honest, who here REALLY knows what information we had about things back then? not something run through the media blender topped off with a cherry...

    if Bush was so freaking bad why in the hell did he win again? get those whining dems off their asses and vote if they don't like it...

  11. Re:"Company" Credit Cards on Newest Job Qualification — A Good Credit History · · Score: 1

    yup... last company i worked for they 'gave' me a company amex card for expenses... BUT they still used my social and such... this was almost 9 years ago and i had a smudge on my credit history from a divorce (left the wench when i found she had gone out and opend 3 cards using my info and put herself on as a secondary card holder and ran each up to close to their max (3x 10k each) while i was overseas)... I could have cried indentity fraud but even IF i proved it i was still responsible for 60% of the charges due to Texas State marriage laws... i explained that to the company (and amex) and got the card after it was denied hte first time... now, 9 years later and all things paid off my credit score is in hte low 800's :) so screw the beeeeeyatch...

  12. Re:Little Suzy. on Newest Job Qualification — A Good Credit History · · Score: 1

    not to mention how one would travel if they were in job that required it... i have a credit card with a 10K limit that I use ONLY for work expenses like hotel, food, parking. the company pays for travel when its booked through our travel agency (and we MUST book it through them) how would you rent a car? some rental car agencies look at you like you have 3 heads when you only have a debit card tied to your bank account... just wondering

    yeah... i guess the market share that us windoze users are just all idiots... which is also probably why so many fortune 500 companies are using it or are moving to active directory or migrating from notes/groupwise to exchange. Linux has its place and while its getting better its not in the 'ease' of use for the folks out there who are making that decision with their money it appears. I love my Ubuntu 6 desktop that I dual boot to on my thinkpad like any other *nix guy here... but there are some things that are still easier to do in windows and while you want to blame the OS, try looking at the company developing the application (itunes or unboxed) that is doing this in the first place ?!?!?!?! t

  17. Re:TSA = wrongheadedness gone wild on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    i heard about the armed guards... the fact is that there IS no armed sentry/post/guard at their borders. i follow canadian events as closely as any 'non' canadian can. my in laws live in West Vancouver and my father in law started the Frasier Institute 30+ years ago.. I get my fill of Canadian talk during family get-togethers and to be honest it is refreshing to have questions asked from outside the scope of a normal 'american'... also refreshing to hear his stance on Canada and the fact they did not participate early on in the war... (Must be that he is pretty much a republican as to why we get along)

  18. Re:TSA = wrongheadedness gone wild on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    and its the Canadian ones who run for cover when some 'alert' comes through that an armed gunman is heading their way... just a month or so ago at the Peace Arch crossing they just left. Closed the gates and packed it in... caused all sorts of traffic problems... We can't force the Canucks or the Mexicans to screen better... it just puts them in closer proximity to our border with some of the 'lesser' monitoring going on north and south of us. As far as 'letting' them in... that is a farce... there are so many other ways to cross our borders than to focus just on the border guards... I have travelled my fair share in the last 22 years. Asia, South America, Europe and monthly (if not weekly) to Canada for business. The US guards are good for the most part.

    please... Canada (and the ferries in BC) were on a watch list for months a few years back... this does not mean they were 'attacked' but it does mean they were being watched... no, i guess not, the attackers see Canada as a doormat to the US so why would they dare piss them off?

  20. Re:Why would one want to do this? on LDAP Authentication in Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i work for a company that handles large enterprises single sign on and user id consolidation needs... (as well as small/medium ones as well)

    you are right on... when it comes to compliance and SOX requirements, getting all of your machines authenticating against one directory (AD or otherwise) makes perfect sense. I am sure there are a few sys admins here who have been asked for login failure and share access permissions across all of their network machines. adding more 'directories' makes it even more fun to gather these reports, comb through logs, look for changes across all the flavors of *nix and then the msft event logs, even network syslog...

    There are a few companies out there who have built product lines that allow unix machines to authenticate against AD, their machine accounts can have Windows Group Polices and managed under one single console, they have the ability to appear in SMS as any other machine for reporting and hardware inventory and also to send their performance metrics over to MSFT MOM...

    Why in the HELL would anyone want to authenticate against AD? well, it is simple really.. MSFT DID do the LDAP/Kerberos thing right and have been doing it right for a long time. They also have the whole pass-through, single id thing going and it works just fine in AD (when its an all windows network)... and its EVERYWHERE... how many LARGE companies are using whitepages/ldap type directories for authentication and how many are using AD? its a valid question to ask and what is happening is that most ARE already on AD or are moving to AD and they ARE using Exchange and this put AD into a space of being one of the main components of an enterprise. So why not just toss the unix machines in there as well?

    yes, it empowers windows AD... but the first solution below (from quest) does not take anything out of the unix guys bag of tricks... in fact it allows for the unix guy to actually do things against AD that before was a pain to setup/admin...

    anyway... sunday, should be out walking the dog and playing frisbee with the kids or working on my short game... check out http://www.quest.com/landing/?ID=531 or http://www.centrify.com/ for some good info on two companies that are doing this for the *nix world now...
