I usually use a combination of the site name that the computer sits at, the department it is being used in, and the job title of the person using it. Oh, and each of these things are abbreviated. So a workstation name that appears like CO-AC-PC001 would be Central Office - Accounting - Payroll Clerk 001. Seems to work after you get used to what your "codes" stand for. I find tying the last part of the name to a job title instead of a user's name makes it easier when people come and go in positions.
As a dual geek couple (is that the proper term?) completing our 11th year of marriage, I have been the guy exactly described in the parent post: Try to be a good partner, but unknowingly lie to yourself about your true resentments. It's easy to do. Don't be that guy because it really does bite hard when you wake up years or decades later. It's funny how, you can have the best communication in the world between SOs, but communicating with yourself is rarely considered (and far more devastating). Too many people enter or run marriage with an over compromising "yes dear" mentality. True, marriage does involved some compromises, but it should happen with moderation.
Oh, and I'm not sure how old you are, but my hope is at the least you are in your mid to late twenties. IMHO marriage should not be permitted to those under 25.
I have been using Liberum helpdesk (http://www.liberum.org/) to manage the helpdesk portion of my job. It's free, has a very simplistic interface for users, and can store requests into a knowledgebase if you choose to do so. The two+ years I've used it has proven it to be a reliable solution.
I will second this. I've been using Liberum in my organization for well over a year. The interface is simple, the setup is easy, and the benefits are great. Liberum lets you track and and submit problems via a web based interface. As OP mentioned LDAP or AD integration is possible. You can store the data in an Access file or SQL. Perhaps mysql would work too...
Not entirely accurate. Your brain can also use ketones, and actually works more effectively using this method. Your body can switch to using ketones during starvation periods or low carb diets. See more info here.
Maybe the anti-phishing protection will actually mean I'll see less spam in my inbox. I use Thunderbird on Mandriva 2006 and have a terrible time with spam. The filters are supposed to be "adaptive", but there have been many cases where I keep "training" the filter of similar spam messages. Also it seems to only catch 50%-60% of the spam...
Don't get me wrong. Thunderbird is a great program (otherwise I'd be using something else). I just wish it was a little better on the spam control...
I suppose one alternative I could take would be to set up a spam filter on a seperate box. Note that "Integration with server side spam filtering." is a new feature!
One of the things I miss from the ICQ days was being able to set specific sounds on a per user basis. For example, every person that singed on would have their own unique sound played. So if I was in the other room, I would know who was coming and going instead have having to check the screen each time I heard an event. I know it may seem like a minor detail, but does anyone know if will potentially be implemented in GAIM?
because I snapped at him after he asked me one too many times.
You too, huh? I ended up snapping at my mother in law becuase she completely disregarded my advice about Windows Updates, then asked me to fix her laptop when it became infected. Had she followed the advice I had given (she actually wrote it down too!), I would not have had to go through the pain of virus removal...
soldiers wearing this matirial with some fine tuning it could turn into a "cloak of invisibility".
Scroll down toward the end of this article to see an image of this invisibility clocking. This technology seems to use a flexible LCD too so maybe they could benefit from Samsung's work. There are still plenty of bugs to be worked out, however. For example, it is difficult to reproduce the brightness of sunlight on an LCD screen.
That there says everything about the quality of Citrix software. Some flavour of VMWare is surely a better option?
Wow, tell me about it... Although, I do have to admit that the 9.0 client download does say "x86 client - requires OpenMotif 2.2.x". So technically you don't really need the latest...if that even matters. Here's the link to get OpenMotif.
I use Ubuntu 5.10 with ica client 9... works smoothly.
Good to hear not everyone has this problem! But if you'd like more info on the error, you can Google for "./wfcmgr: error while loading shared libraries" or click here. That's just one of the errors. I was actually able to get Citrix Client 9 up and running on Mandriva (and I'm assuming this would be the same on Ubuntu) after I upgraded OpenMotif. The Manager started, I configured a connection, and even put in my credentials to log in. However, the connection repeatedly hung and crashed. Using Client v7.0 cleared the problem though...
A long time fan of Mandriva I decided to give the latest Ubuntu a try. I soon found out there is a problem with the 9.0 Citrix Linux client. True, you may be able to use an RDP connection to the server, but shadowing doesn't always work in this mode. I really should have given it more effort, but instead I moved on to try Mandriva 2006. The same thing existed there! In Mandriva I was eventually able to get it to work by installing the latest openmotif and using the 7.0 Citrix client. I'm sure the same solution probably works in Ubuntu...
Sure, Citrix may hardly be a requirment in most businesses. However, for those of us that do use it we're usually pretty dependent on it. Although this was a pretty serious problem I had with Ubuntu, it's still a great distro IMHO.
Yes, for most it may be extremely easy. But in case you haven't had to do it for some time:
To disable JavaScript in IE, click Tools, Internet Options and choose the Security tab. Click the Internet icon, click the Default Level button, and move the slider to High.
What about using surge protectors to make sure your stuff is "off"? That's what I use for my whole network - okay, so it's only two computers. But still, everything runs to a master switch. When stuff is done for the day I hit the kill switch... I would say this cuts the power to the devices since my LAN link lights all go dead.
Do you by chance naturally have an extra amount of muscle mass? BMI really isn't this best way to measure. For example, my BMI says that I am "overweight". Yet I still have a 6 pack (abs, not beer;-)! I'm not even that big either... Just a little extra muscle seems all that's required to throw the BMI off...
I'm all for wireless mesh network competition, but do any of you think this could help bring the cost down? I recently had some involvement in a public safety wireless deployment project. As much as I wanted to see mesh happen, it was just simply cost prohibitive. Prices ranged from $75,000 to $150,000 per square mile. And while other solutions are out there, it's hard to get a good signal in rough terrian. The final solution? Private RF with a blazing 33Kbps connection!
The device's makers compares its shrill tone to that of smoke detectors, only much louder. It can be as loud as about 150 decibels, while smoke alarms are about 80 to 90 decibels.
So even if you were prepared with a pair of regular 30dB ear plugs, you're still getting hit with 120dB. Sure, some people may be able to stand that level of noise if it was music of their choice (like a concert). Just imagine, though, having to listen to an annoying sound like your smoke detector at that level... And for a prolonged period? Guess it's better than getting killed.
I think the idea is that it doesn't move as fast as a propeller: From TFA:
One of the primary environmental drawbacks of the propeller wind turbines is that they kill birds. The tips of the blades spin much faster than the wind speed, chopping through the air sometimes at speeds of 200 mph. The birds generally just don't see them coming.
The TMA vertical axis design flows with the wind, at the speed of the wind. "It looks like a building to the bird," said Taylor. "We've never seen a dead bird at our test site." Likely this is because birds don't normally fly into solid walls.
I have to disagree. This is excellent news for my site...
You should our website. Evertime you place your mouse cursor over some text the entire pages starts jumping around. It's a horrible experience and can really disorient the viewer. The last time I recommended our web master make our website Firefox friendly, I was given the reply of "Firefox is only 2% of the market share". Hmm, good thing I saved the email because now I can reply with the current stats. Plus with a little management on my side, maybe it will happen this time. Thanks Slashdot and ZDNET!
I am *really* looking forward to pop-up blocking improvements. It seems that when I first started using firefox (back in the early days) it caught the vast majority of pop-ups. That situation seems to have gotten worse lately. For example, I visit a certain guitar tab web site. Let's say I want to view 10 different tabs at once... using Firefox's tabs, I just click away. Unfortunately, this also means I'm greated with 10 new pop ups. This happens every time and has really brought back the days before firefox (and no pop-up blocker).

Beat me to the punch on that point, but it's so true. And even if you don't think the support is worth it, PHBs may beg to differ.
