  1. Re:SharePoint? on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents? · · Score: 1

    Which is why I said it rocks as a document repository. All the wiki stuff is woefully inadequate. The vary concept of wiki really has no enterprise purpose in general (unless of course your enterprise is wikis). The recommended limit for content types and documents per library keeps the XML caching under control.

    In my experience, most (if not all), complaints about the performance of MOSS can be tracked back to someone who did not know (or chose to ignore) the recommened limits of the product.

    Totally agree. SharePoint is one of the few recent products that Microsoft actually got right. Of course, they will probably find a way to screw it up down the road, but currently it rocks as an enterprise level document repository.

    Hell with the 'white', when 'man' discovers it it's important. Mankind pat itself on the back whenever they figure out how to do something (no matter how poorly) that nature figured out a long time ago. I often think of going back in time and telling the Arabi who invented the magnetic compass - 'hey you know salmon have these in their brain at birth'. He'd be all like "! "

    I think a better statement would be 'at least 50% of the people who I see with computers use Macs'. That's because Macs are status symbols first, and computers second (not to say they are not great systems). If PC's were as sexy as Macs then folks would be proud to be seen using them too. And I would imagine those people would far out number the Mac users.

    Was the original poster a shill for some other ISP or what? An anonymous user submits a story decrying a great technical wrong by Comcast, that no one appears to be able to reproduce. So a little fact check action might in order here. Up next, "toyotasuxors@ford.com says: Toyota tracking all US drivers with a device hidden in the glove box!

    I think the parent was just using a bit of hyperbole there. Also, it appears he only has a limited understanding of what the word 'evil' means. And the word 'fuck'. And, well, he just don't appear to be that bright in general.

    Yes we are. But on a dark night you can look up and see a faint band of stellar bodies in the sky. You are looking into the core of the spiral galaxy we call the Milky Way. On a really dark night you can even see the peanuts and caramel.

    They do indeed have customers that most likely own an iPhone or two, sure. But the only shareholders that actually matter are major shareholders (i.e. mutual funds, board members). Do you seriously think these high rollers give a deuce about the iPhone? Do you think any of them even own one? Most likely they have 'people' to handle all their communications. And if they do not, then they probably have a big-boy communications device like a Blackberry.

    Well, except for the 12 year old they used for "realistic motion capture". They didn't, but if they had (which is not really that far fetched for a Japanese game) would it still be "no big deal"?

    We explored Linux as a database server solution last year. We are not running Windows servers now (all AIX), but we still stayed away from Linux because of the lack of enterprise support. Initially the price looked really good, but then we added the cost of buying enterprise support from the few that actually provide it and the cost skyrocketed well beyond the cost of software and support for AIX.

    I am reading a lot of 'just get a cell phone'. Problem is, true GPS requires clear view of the sky to work consistently. That means the cell phone would could not be in a pocket or a backpack, ever. One could use the cell signal's 'location estimator' which might be accurate or might be of by 100's of meters and also required a data plan, but that's not really GPS anymore.

    But the GPS needs a view of the sky to get a consistent signal. Best place to discreetly mount would be inside the car, near the rear window.
