Ok, so "turnkey" was a bit overstatement. "be able to do it for the common admin" atleast. To do this today, you need to be a wizard. With Red Hat/Fedora it's been a little easier - They have the system-config-auth tool. Which works. Hand editing the pam config to make this workable on a debian box wasn't... fun. here is how you set up LDAP+Kerberos. It is sorcery.
One of the net things is if you couple together Kerberos with LDAP - much like a windows network with Active Directory. Does the Fedora DS intergrate those two neatly, single sign on is neat, but OSS provides no turnkey solutions for this (yet).
So you decided to post a/. story but you didn't have anything to say ?
>One example is being able to write a program that purposely uses a combination of 16-bit and 32 bit. Idiotic example. What are you talking about ? 16 and 32 bit data types ? If so you don't trust your compiler to optimize ? damn. Oh, you're tlking a bout code then ? a combination of 16/32 bit is amazingly rare. For app practical purposes it means running DOS programs on windows, and speed isn't an issue here. Sorry.

Consider it close to nil percent of desktop software, but important for those few that uses it.
However hardware vendors will jump to 64 bit, they will support it, develop it and 64 bit systems will in short be the ones pushing more GHz through marketing ads. And running in 32 bit compatibility will have a (small) performance hit. So yes. It's worth it from a performance point for laymans, in the near future, but likely they wont have any use of the gains. Which area of "worth it" did you want to discuss ? Performance, reliability, investement or something else. And for whom ? Weather centers needing big iron to predict next weeks weather ?
>You can _ignore_ magazine ads. Not entierly. You have to be aware of them, so you can activly ignore them.
>You can watch something else when ads come on TV. Which breaks your mindest when you're in the middle of an entertaining movie or series. Very annoying.
>With ad blocking becoming ever more popular among users, why do you block ads?
They're annoying.
>And with what? Do you view internet ads as different from say, TV ads? No, so far the TV adds doesn't interfer enough with the program I watching, they're not scattered around but squeezed in sequence allowing one to switch channel. Though It's annoying to have these breaks in the movies or series. Which is why I'd rather go to thepiratebay.org and download it than watching it on TV.
>What about in a magazine? Do you not buy a magazine because it has too many?
Indeed, I've no interrest in a magazine filled with ads.
Even a simple bacteria would be amazingly interresting. Biggest scientific discovery of all time. It would prove earth is not the only place with life, and could teach us a great lot about life.
Secondly, a manned mission to Mars/is/ in the works. See NASA.
But not legally, and apple will not make it available for generic PCs. You will still need apple hardware, the difference is it'll have an Intel processor.
Actions such as these hacks will likely make apple incorporate much more copy protection and drm as the final release rolls. Maybe someone hacks that as well, we will see.
This might turn out good, as it hopefully will allow the "high" end chips to be manufactured and sold in bigger quantities. Which ought to lead to cheaper prices. More bang for the buck for/us/.

Nice GUI admin tool. I like that much better than silly web applications.

PrimeTrader is pretty neat. It's also one of the few Lisp commercial applications out there.
