How many people just don't go to the trouble cause the product is a red-headed step-child. Why not just assume that everyone who uses Linux with an NVIDIA card just wants their shit to work (tm).
We just moved from HP to Dell. I'm happy, the problem with our last three HP lines was that they ALL sucked. Good support is nice, but not all the time, every day. The Dell's have been a bit different, they work as *expected*. OTOH my Dell Inspiron at home did have several screws backing out, really annoying to lose about four screws without cause. But, I'm a tech and I can handle that, the HP machines we got were always coming down with some crazy ass obscure problem.
That was Vista's worst crime as far as I'm concerned. Listing system requirements when in reality what was needed was the "Certified for Windows Vista" sticker instead of the infamous "Vista Capable" sticker. But, you couldn't just tell people to look for the sticker, because they're just going to look for a sticker that says "Vista". And you really couldn't tell people to go by the system requirements for an upgrade either (I did and the system is a dog). Point blank, there is absolutely no reason to put Vista on "Vista Capable" hardware.
I use an external hard drive and a small pack of six discs + some other tools. I looked through the options on Ghack and I'm putting a disc together right now.
FWIW the tools I have on my external drive would easily fit on a 10gb thumb drive.
My options are KAV, NT password, parted magic, and ubcd4win. This solution works for me because there isn't a lot of duplication of services. Also, I wanted to be sure everything fit onto a CD, that way I don't get to a system that can't read dvds and have all of my tools on a DVD-R.
Anyways, thanks for yet another tool to throw in my kit.
Get a lawyer and have them draw up a contract with a disclaimer. Those accounting firms are probably better with you than without you. Remember there's probably a dozen guys out there that will take that job whether they're any good or not.
You might be surprised with what you can do with a budget at your disposal.
I've been through about 20 machines with this infection or variants there of (av360, av 2009, av2008, etc). I'm guessing I lost about four of them, the worst of course were the ones where the user went all the way through with the install, assumed they were protected and let the damn thing run for months, updates and all. One of those machines I'd just like to shoot. It powered off and wouldn't come back on for three months, then "bam!" it's running again. I'm thinking that thing won't be safe until the drive is zeroed and the bios is flashed. But, yeah, some of them are really F*ing hard.
Bah, I guess what I'm saying is that if there weren't data portability it wouldn't really be a CMS, but whatever systems you come to depend on, you will eventually find it difficult to get rid of them. In your example above, with Sharepoint as the front end and Oracle as the back end. You will find it a hell of a lot easier to switch out the back-end if needed than switching out the front end once the users have become accustomed to it.
I think you and I are defining lock-in differently. You are focusing on the portability of the data, I'm looking at integration with Microsoft's other offerings, social issues, interface issues, API integration, etc.
Hell, just going with non-open code is a vendor locking away the practical logic you need to work with. I mean anything written in Visual Fox was ultimately at the mercy of the vendor.
Well that's great, as long as all you do with your CMS is move data to other CMSs you'll be fine. The second you standardize on a platform and start building on it. It becomes the foundation for your system, the back-end for the interfaces your users become accustomed to. Yes, portability and customization is important, but that doesn't mean you can pull a system that's been up for five years and replace it in two months.
So you're saying that building your entire infrastructure around Microsoft products does not constitute vendor lock in?
I mean come on. I'm not picking on MS in particular, I'm saying it can be really difficult to move from one CMS to another. The data is in SQL, that's great, but merging data with logic is not the definition of vendor lock in.
All content management systems have vendor lock in. Doesn't matter what you use, I suppose some are easier to move around if the DB is sufficiently accessible, but once you have some 20+ people using it you've got to convince 20+ people it's worth switching.
"Diet soda isn't exactly on the same realm in any way." Looks like denial to me. Tax the junkie G-Man.
Anyways, me, I'm quitting smoking and I'm all for going after people that eat mcdonalds and drink too much fucking soda pop and sit on their fat asses for hours watching tv every day. I have to, to mitigate the insurance liability that you bastards have made out of smoking. Your fat lazy ass life style is fucking dead and if it isn't you're going to fucking pay for it if I have anything to say about it.
Rah rah morality police state rah rah rah.
Hell, while we're at it let's draw a correlation between IQ and car accidents, obesity and car accidents (fast food ya know, it's technically illegal to eat behind the wheel in many states), fuck it, by the time I'm voting yes on nanny state bullshit I'll be able to afford to smoke again.
As a smoker who detests soda pop, could give a shit about fresca, pays more insurance to support lardasses, and will likely get denied for my smoking history somewhere along the lines. I say fuck you. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!
Fuck you all. Every single one of you relativistic morality police shitbags are getting exactly what you fucking deserve. After being pushed into a smoking box, I could really give a fuck how far this goes. In fact, it's not fair for smokers until it goes a hell of a lot further. Shit, dog owner's should pay more for car insurance, people who hunt should pay more for life insurance because they are more likely to get shot.
YUP, like I said before. Fuck you all, every single one of you - taxing cigarettes - ban smoking - cheeto eating - twelve hour a day teevee watching - six pack of soda a day drinking - shit bag - fast food eating - self righteous shit for brain mutherfuckers.
It's almost always a win-win to give your enemy their criminals back. In fact the only reason I can think of not to do it is when public sentiment gets in the way. McKinnon is a corner case.
From what I understand he just used blank passwords. Sheesh, sounds like they're trying to lure him with promise of a job, possibly. I'm not sure I care, the guy sounds like an idiot. I mean he claimed to purposefully bring down US networks on 9-11, he associated himself with terrorists in order to harrass US government networks. I don't buy that he was just looking for pictures of aliens, if he was he'd have no reason to leave stupid little hacker messages all over the place. The extradition stuff isn't even that puzzling, given his note about 9-11, then he might have been the purpose for the agreement. Probably a reasonable guy in most areas of his life, but a total fucking idiot when it comes to acting out his fantasies.
Brilliant. Put some folks with signs up in front "take the ski mask off pig". How often do regular violent protestors wear ski masks? Unless they're planning on blowing things up there's no point, a ski mask won't save a protestor from charges.
There's reason enough to apologize and I do think he meant it. Piloting a motorbike at those speeds is a great feat, it's rude to undermine the undertaking and I believe the OP "feels" that. I'm not motorhead at *all*, I hate working on cars, to me it's like all of the bad stuff that gets engineered into computers, lack of standards (metric vs english, everywhere), lack of documentation, someone always trying to upsell something, the use of jargon to displace the customer, etc. But I felt like defending the motorbike definition, because pedantically, it qualifies for the motorbike land speed and most of all it is the last land-speed that doesn't incorporate jet engines.

Stallman's already announced plans to put that in GPLv4.

Support does not matter if you don't need it.
You sir are wrong!

That's exactly the setup I've got. Kaspersky running live on the machine, Spybot S&D for immunizations, the avira bootdisc, and MBAM.
Never mind, I didn't read the article. Hahaa.

So, what's your vote on cigarettes or is it just your soda pop you care about?
Oh yea, fuck saletan and his fresca.
Fuck you and your diet soda.
You are living in a fucking DREAMWORLD if you think there isn't sufficient correlation between soda consumption and ill health.
"Diet soda isn't exactly on the same realm in any way."
Looks like denial to me. Tax the junkie G-Man.
