This is the same crap deal as the WinCE devices that wyse and Boundless used to sell. Essentially, rather than buy a linux device (with Rdesktop, and 5250 emulation, and Xserver, and a local browser) - you purchase a WinCE, EmbeddedXP, MoenchXP, etc-OS-device from M$ (With IE and RDP only) and get the RDP portion of the TS license with it.
It is a play to keep people from mass producing a nano-itx/Linux thin-client
Many people do not check the hashes on the P2P files. Rather they check the comments written about the file: As soon as one person posts that the file is a fake, no one will download it. (This also works for password encrypted files that people will avoid untill the password is posted in the comments.)
1) Need to distroy data 2) It takes about seven formats to adquately remove the data. (I mean so that the FBI can't read it) 3) Now how about dead drives?
Problem 1) If the security regulations state that you need to destroy your data, you need to do it. (HIPAA privacy sections, Defense related crap,...)
Problem 2) I remember seeing a quote that formatting does not do the job, as you also need to remove the resonance of the old bits: You can zero the drive, but real intelligence agencies can tell the difference between what was always a zero, and what has just been changed to a zero.
Think about it, if your magno-meter (TM) reads from 0-9 and you have been using 5 as binary "1". If a particular bit was always 0, its magnometer rating is going to be closer to 0 than 4. Similarly, if you just changed your 1 to a 0, it magnometer rating is going to be more of a 4 than a 0. Hence, assume all values towards 0 or 9 were 0/1; assume all values near 4.5 have just been changed: now you can see a bunch of data.
Problem 3) If the platter is good, but the circuit board is bad - you can't format the drive anyhow.
Solution: magnatize it. OK you can take good drives and format them repeatedly under Linux (in a usb or firewire drive sled), but this won't work for dead drives & takes some time. If you put the drives in a strong enough field to magnitize the drive, you won't have any problems.
Just take an industrial strength demagnitizer, and leave in "on" on the drive over night. When you can use the drive to pick up screws and paperclips from the carpet - you are set;)
The update, much like the "Critical Potentially Unwanted Software remover" requires that you agree to it's license to install it.
I can confirm this, as I went to a client site (to repair a laptop screen) and checked the ever present (for that user) "You Have Updates waiting to be installed" dialogue. The computer was set for auto-update (by me) and did not install SP2 automatically. It seems that you need to agree to it's license to instll, therefore will not be installed by users who "do not know what the flashy alert thingy was, and so left it alone."
In response to the article on Java in OpenOffice, and the hubabaloo that GPL purists were makeing about it... I wrote: ~"Linus is using Bitkeeper, Everyone should drop linux now and HURD everone to something else"
Voyager was launched ~25 years ago, still sends telemetry and photos, and only takes minimal inputs and some (tiny) incoming bandwith. It's also, after ~25 years, reaching the Hugens (?) belt of crap between the inner solar system and outer space.
Even if the next probe is launched NOW, it won't return anything about that far out for the 25 years it will take to get there.
Then it definately makes sense to cut Voyager. Otherwise we might get useful information before everyone in the current administration is dead. Just look at what happened when the looked into the Iraqi WMDs.
? did you send it USPS? Next time use Universal Packaging Shipping for all your interplanitary needs. No cockups here: We measure everything in angstroms.
It's a DTD and not a computer. It's just I/O for something else.
Input Devices: 1) The seat/bowl-opening 2) The "Flush" button (Two if you live in Europe 1.Pee 2. Shit)
Output Device 1) The waste pipe
Counter Arguements refuted:
1) "But it has storage..." It is well known in high tech plumbing circles that the tank-resevior is Cache, not tertiary storage. This is a common misconception.
2) "It runs anti-virus" Based on some bars recently visited, I think that the anti-virus package is a rarely used option. If not an urban myth.
Based on the above, I can only conclude that the toilet is a Data Terminal Device: Crap in - Crap out not withstanding.
Linus uses Bitkeeper and not CVS....
you can't even see the BKL untill you install the program. I demand all FOSS people stop using Linux now... It's time to HURD everyone on the true path
hahahahahahaha
The answer depends on what you want to get out of it. I just started a LLC to do this and generally charge depending on the distance travelled. Friends are free for MINIMAL work. Bench time is 1/2 of the on-site rate.
Don't give your time out too cheap or your advice will not be appreciated. (The person who commented on the tyrants is partially correct.) You are doing work and should be paid for it.
I started by stressing about every client. Then I learned that the real tryants are a pain and don't refer. If I f*ck up, I eat it. However, since I started telling tryants with pirated software not to pay me, but pay for their pirated software I get fewer of them;) (I am my own tryant, my two month old more so.)
Rates in DC range from $25/hr for petty fixes, to a few hundred for fancier stuff. Depends on the consultant/company. (Mine are near the low end.) Don't be afraid to recommend new computers: a three year old P4 1.4GHz may be fine on spec, but after you upgrade the memory to 768MB for the bargain price of $150 (Rambus) - you may find the Drive fails two months later...
Mom Turdfarmer may not like the cost, but try to be upfront. You will get clients who value your honesty, and avoid petty tryants.
The author is a former CTO for the world bank: an international organization with about ten thousand employees spread around the world, not including on-site consultants. He has looked at the TCO question and provided a part one of a TCO comparison.
The Organization will not be purchasing 2K computers from Bob's bargain hut, or me. They will be purchasing them from a top tier manufacturer. As a Former TCO, he does not have the clout to get a rep on the line to order 2K machines and is doing a summary closer to a small business.
As that, he is checking out the web prices for computers which have a windows tax on them. Saying that he should create 2K computers from parts is not reasonable. I am personally curious to see what he looks for in parts to follow. Especially knowing that the help monkies at the bank are not that helpful.
