    Believe me, I understand not having good access when I'm on a client site or other situations where access is limited. However, your fighting a losing battle. There is very little of the net that is usable today without Javascript (and soon HTML5) and thats only going to get worse. The text based web is dead. This is not a battle you can win....

    Good lord! Are you still running Netscape Navigator on a 386? It's 2014, you can get a full featured browser on a wrist watch. There are MANY reasons to hate the beta but using Javascript is not one of them.

    No...right choice of words. Anyone whose religion calls for the death or subjugation of myself or my society must be exterminated. Obviously, those that reject that position as a result of education or any other influence are no longer included in the population that must be defeated. The others....need to die as surely as Hitler and Goering.

    The specify antecedents of Pearl Harbor are irrelevant. It's the world view and yes, religion, of the extremists that is important. If you want a better example, the rape of Nanking had nothing to do with the US. It had everything to do with the Japanese society at the time.

    And no I'm not defending the NSA. I think they have gone way to far. However, I do believe that radical islam is a threat that must be exterminated just as surely as Naziism and the radical Shinto warrior sect that controlled Japan.

    There was no "existential threat when the Nazis invaded Poland or when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. In the long term jihadist islam may be more of a threat than either of those.

    More people have multi-million entry directories than you would think. Not all of them are "users". For example, Time Warner Cable uses eDirectory to hold the configurations for their millions of set top boxes.

    Sorry but infrastructure management software will not have wide acceptance with a GPL license. It would also not make much headway with MS-PL. If you actually want it to be used then it has to be BSD/Apache.

    Try Filr from Novell. It's pretty amazing. It won't solve the dynamic DNS issues but it does allow access to your data and uses the ACLs you set on your server. It's likely overkill for one person but it works well for my small company.

    Please contact me directly at jcombs@pointbluetech.com and I'll answer any questions you might have. Running the 3.2+ version of the gateway on Linux we have been able to run over 30K concurrent sessions on a single node. We have gone to 50K in testing on some monster hardware.

    In this case it's even better. None of the user authentication data is on the NetIQ appliance. It's all stored on an LDAP server even further back behind additional firewalls.

    NetIQ Access Manager is rock solid and massively scalable. I support multiple systems that use it for over 30 million users. Nothing better for web access management.

    The first practice is illegal and it is fairly aggressively enforced. Most large companies go to a lot of trouble to ensure this is not happening and that they are demonstrating compliance.

    The second practice is perfectly legal.
