By basing professional hiring decisions on candidates
While I am a senior linux engineer, I also contribute to the technical hiring of candidates. "professional hiring decisions on candidates" do not involve how technical someone is but how they fit into the team and organisation.
There is no room for a double agent in a work place and those double agents are highly likely to be those who are antagonistic in their forum posts.
We must not forget that IE8 is still in beta. Maybe this is just a ploy fo MS to force webadmins to get their stuff sorted before IE8 with different compatability modes is released.
That said, its a big step forward from 7 - much much faster
I've love to see a change to the graph on http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/
The one the graphs spam and viruses over time. They should also graph the amount of legitimate email that comes in.
Dont get me wrong, grey listing is great but unless you use your own MTA, you cannot guarantee the message will be retried.
I strongly suggest using domainkeys, DKIM and SPF. Just reject against failures and accept everything else. It will be a great start.
What's a 'snap in', is it just another name for a patch or bits left out of the original PRODUC~1 ? Yes
How can a file format be 'less secure' You will need to ask the authors of the file format that
"mind-bogglingly complex workaround"?
As per the KB, you can download an MMC snap in and adjust the settings within group policy.
I dont think thats extremely complex?
My old work mate left his job here for a role at Microsoft. He is an MSCE and MCDBA and said that while his base is around £45,000 his bonuses add up to £20,000! N
This article does not include the fact that most IT organisations are now tending to pay employees by performance (bonus) and not just by their base rates.
I tried the 'oh! I didnt know' excuse when i got caught in Amsterdam for doing some not-so-legal drugs. It didnt work - nor should his excuse in the aforementioned case above.
Wow - there are some nice graphs in that pdf! I love those pie charts!
Thank God for those 'sophisticated management tools'. If it wasnt for them, we'd be screwed!
The point is not that you get a kernel panic in whatever scenario, the point is that at least once in your lifetime, resier (reiser3) will arse fuck you.
I'm currently running FC4T1, and it still doesnt fully support the dimensions of my display. There is a nice bois patch that works, but having it work out of the box...
Trying to do anything really IO intensive like having 1000 users try and pop their mbox mail using qpopper, each of which having a 1Mb mailbox in an instance. Once you're IO bound and the load is about 500 and you still have pop requests coming in...
4. It has better default driver support than Windows, without having to go out to a vendor site and hope they still offer downloads; In fact, most hardware is detected right off the bat nowadays.
You're joking right? I'm running a VAIO PCG-TR3.. Running X in full screen with the correct aspect ratio out of the box? Yea right!
6. This one's esoteric, but what the hell: I can use Reiser FS on Linux; Windows didn't offer a journaling ANYTHING up until their latest greatest (does that even offer journals???). Under Windows, if you lose power suddenly, the next time you power up you could have a garbled registry (reinstall time!). Under Linux with Reiser, when you reboot, the system politely tells you it's going to check the journal, and it fixes itself. This alone is a good reason to prefer Linux.
In my last place we hosted mail for 30000 users using sendmail with the spool as reiser3 and mbox. It was always fun trying to fix users mailboxes after a kernel panic, power failure or whatever.
I totally agree with your comments.
Seems they're charging $24.95 for this dribble
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/159327064X/
If you truly an open source advocate, you will use the $24.95 and donate it to an open source project instead of winging about MS cooperate dominance and how they are the devil of IT.
(I myself have donated a fair bit to nagios/netsaint)
Ohh.. and check out this blue screen of death

No - I dont think you'll FPS using a keyboard. I suspect however MS will release a keyboard / mouse along with Windows Media Ed for Xbox 360. Makes sense and fits in MS strategy for unified communication between all devices.
I reckon as a rule of thumb, you should bock every ip that doesnt want to access your webspace.;)
Alternatively (and seriously) tune your webserver as you know what material is being served up and you know the page requests that an average user would make. Why not make it so certain ips can only request pages X number of seconds totaling Y per day?
Whos going to swap to linux - I assume you mean every day people.
Say you have two new songs. One is better than the other but the other has a huge marketing budget and as a result constantly gets air play. (Unless you know about the 'great' song) You will of course buy the one that has the air play.
Apart from IT competent people, who really knows what open source projects in linux distro has to offer?
Most of that article is an absolute joke.
The argument that people will switch to linux to avoid the cost of upgrading their hardware is absolutely floorled. Cos we all know that all new games will only need the current day spec'd machines to run.
Furthermore Linux will only enter mainstream desktop computing after a distro(s) partners up with a packaging vendor like Dell HP and have linux pre-installed. If Jo blogs novice computer user buys a computer that has windows pre-installed paid for in the price, why would they want to swap to linux. Also, do you think someone buying a packaged system would be technically competent to do so? Possibly not.
Until we see more prebuilt systems with linux and better games under linux, MS will contain their significant market share in the desktop market.

Well summed up post.

I use Mosso - they are inexpensive and are hosted and owned by Rackspace. Therefore the service is fantastic!

The guy in the article and you renegadesx seriously need to get your ends wet.
Wow, so some security experts from India demonstrated that they could own a *RC* version of Vista...
This doesnt sound too bad - at least desktop linux will benefit!

Mate - you obviously need to get laid!
Oh god.. Unleash the anti-MS spam...
I guess you're not in the some 200 odd million that use MSN or Yahoo IM.
Less time that it would take half of the ./ users to see the real world.
