I personally believe that Microsoft's distributions have much more to do with the impending election than anything else. If John Kerry wins, he has vowed to bring back large capital gains taxes, which would hurt a lot of those heavily invested at Microsoft. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world for a reason, and that's certainly not entirely due to the software coming out of Redmond.
Since Lou Gerstner took control of IBM (although he is no longer at the helm), this has been a different company. Today they are doing everything possible to help Linux, but of course to that end they are also helping themselves. Still, it must be said that the IBM of today is one great company.
(I don't work for IBM or have any connections to them other than my Thinkpad T40 (NewEgg has them now for $1600 bucks!)
This is simply amazing. First it's amazing that publishers are allowing such a thing. It's also amazing to imagine what we only be in the immediate future for all of us. Knowledge at our fingertips, from web sites, and now from online books whose publishers realize that many, many people will read parts online but will want to purchase a dead tree to read the whole book.
I know Amazon did this first, but I love to see Google taking up the idea. Google is simply my favorite company in the world. They don't take crap from (mostly) anyone, and they run Linux across the board. They are an undeniable force.
It may be risky, but I for one will be investing in Google the moment they release their stock. This is a terrific company and the people that are running it are terrifically smart!
I have used PowerPoint upteen times over my career as I occassionally speak on Computer Security issues from general to specific audiences. I have always been forced to use PowerPoint simply because there seems to be nothing better out there at the moment. I have looked at KPresenter , Prosper, OpenOffice's Impress, and maybe one or two others. I love Keynote's features and gloss, but the expense of buying a very powerful 15" Powerbook to get it to work smoothly is somewhat of an obstacle to me. I'd love to have it, but I need it to run smoothly, and I'm not sure I can justify a $2000 expense for something I do about once a quarter.
Seriously guys - is there something out there I don't know about? I hate to open PowerPoint, but there doesn't seem to be anything even close to it right now. We have one Mac for checking web sites (G3 iBook), and otherwise run Linux and WinXP. I'd prefer to avoid WinXP if at all possible!
Suggestions? I'll look at ANY alternatives to PowerPoint!

Pushed email is COMPLETELY different. You get the email within seconds and don't have to check in over and over. Very often my Blackberry will beep very quietly before my POP3 client alerts me to a new email.
Pushed email is terrific if you rely on email communications like I do.
If I could get 1 and 3, it's all I would ever need. Can't someone come up with something? Blackberry is great, but I also have to carry around a Palm Tungsten C in order to manage my massive to-do list using Agendus and input time into TimeReporter for Timeslips - both only available for Palm OS.
Does anyone know if this thing has pushed email like a Blackberry? That's the "killer feature" for me and my use of Blackberrys. When I receive an email on my server, I get it on the Blackberry 6210 within 20-30 seconds. Two very quiet beeps tells me there is a new email. I never have to login to check to see if new email exists.
I have a suggestion - just list 3-4 DIFFERENT booksellers and let the user pick the vendor based on their feelings about patent issues, affinity for B&N, or whatever. I would personally never purchase from B&N online. It's only convenient to purchase in the store with a Reader's Advantage card. Still, they are MUCH more expensive than the alternatives.
I don't buy a lot from Amazon because I don't like their patent business, but I do like the reviews there. They have more reviews than anyone on books and virtually anyone on other products. I find what I'm looking for, read through some reviews, and order it on Bookpool (because it's SO MUCH cheaper!) or pick it up at Borders or B&N stores.
Why not Amazon, or others?

Another comment was right - poorly configured firewalls will result in a HUGE problem. Here's the fix:
Control-Alt-Delete to get to Task Manager. Look for a process msblast. Kill that process. Using Task Manager, start a new process called regedit. Using regedit, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and take out msblast there. Then run the patch from this site:

Can you suggest any good marketing books you've read, and especially any books that deal with getting good referrals? When I use clients as references, prospects tell me it's some kind of "love fest", but getting the clients to refer me to their competitors is sometimes a hard thing to accomplish.
I'm one of those silent users of Gentoo. I have Gentoo running on roughly 4 dozen production servers to date, with another 170 or so waiting their conversion from Debian, Redhat, SuSE, BSDs, etc. I've used just about everything under the sun, but I find Gentoo to be the very best as what it is - a Linux distribution that is, in effect, my own. I have a standard server installation on a new box down to 10 minutes of my time from a remote connection. I couldn't ask for more.
As for Mr. Welsh's comments, they seemed very personal to me, and I would suggest this isn't the best way to kick things off. I hope he can leave his personal issues aside and concentrate on the fork if that is what he believes is the best solution for him. Good luck to him.
Why do people pay good money to ISS for their Internet Scanner tool? It seems that this tool is very popular, but don't most people involved at these levels of security work know about the Nessus project? I personally find the ability to customize the system to the Nth degree and build my own triggers blows away most commercial systems. I've used ISS's scanner, Cybercop, and a few others. Some of the reporting tools are good out of the box, but I always find myself returning to Nessus.
Anyone allowing shell access to your systems should bookmark, read, and master this stuff. If you have no idea why, this should help (from the article):
So what is a "chroot jail"?
Essentially it is a security method for creating a safe user enviroment on systems that allow remote access accounts. The "jail" locks users into a virtual directory structure and grants access only to applications created for the jailed users by the administrator. It has long been a standard for hosting companies to create remote access accounts with this method, but the process was far from simple. Creating each account took many steps and needed thorough testing to assure system security.
I must have spent a week working through various docs trying to learn this, and most of what I read was either impossible to understand or just inaccurate. Finally I happened upon this, and I refer to it often. Here's the jist of it:
==================== Introduction Jail Chroot Project is an attempt of write a tool that builds a chrooted environment. The main goal of Jail is to be as simple as possible, and highly portable. The most difficult step when building a chrooted environment is to set up the right libraries and files. Here, Jail comes to the rescue with a tool to automagically configures & builds all the required files, directories and libraries. Jail is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Jail program has been written using C, and the setup script has been written using a bash script and perl. Jail has been tested under Linux (Debian 2.1 & 2.2, RedHat 6.1, 6.2 and 7.0 and Caldera Openlinux 7.0), Solaris (2.6), IRIX (6.5) and FreeBSD 4.3. Some people has contributed to jail with patches and ideas. Thanks to all of them.
Jail supports lots of interesting features:
Runs on Linux, Solaris, IRIX and freeBSD (tested) and should run in any of the flavours of these operating systems. Modular design, so you can port Jail in an easy way. Support for multiple users in a single chrooted environment. Fully customizable user shell. Support for multiple servers: telnetd, sshd, ftpd... Easy to install thanks to the enviroment creation script. Should work in any UNIX. Ease of porting. Allows run any kind of program as a shell.
An html version of the mailing list has been added to the web site. Now you can read all the user contributions, ideas and patches here.
