It didn't try to be a jack of all trades and master of none. It did what it did, exceptionally well. Groupwise was an exceptionaly stable/scalable product, it's just anything below version 7 of the product looked ancient and lacked pretties. Even then it did everything far better then Outlook, except HTML tended to bork it, but usually that was the very broken HTML outlook spews (can't really hold Novell responsible for that). Recent versions of the client have strived to bring it in to the 21st centuary, but I've not played with it, as we lost the battle to keep the product, as people just wanted "outlook".
Zenworks Confirguration Management 10 on top of Windows or Linux or Unix and using itself or Active Directory or eDirectory or any other LDAP as a user source, and using it's inbuilt DB or MSSQL or Oracle (what ever floats your boat) blows the AD/Group Policy combo out of the water. Even better still, you can manage Domain/Local GPO with Zenworks, meaning you don't have to apply a Computer policy to a computers container for the damn thing to work. If you want to apply to just one person, you can associate it with that one person.(without trying to do it arse about with filters)
So being Platform Independent, Directory Independent, several DB options and manageable from a web interface (No cli necessary), makes it a very attractive package. We're just in the process of migrating from Zenworks 7.2 and we love it, as internally we're a *nix shop, so it gives us a way to take the pain out of managing Windows Desktops (would love to change that, but the business isn't even remotely ready... one day, one day!)
Have you been to Country Australia? Or even the Outback? They are quite a popular article of clothing. Mandatory if you have a Dri 'z' bone, as no hoods on those things. An Akubra is both water proof and also good to keep the sun off your face/neck.
I see you found an ADM for Firefox. Personally, I think that anyone that says that they won't deploy something because they can't control it, plainly isn't trying hard enough or at all. Firefox is probably one of the easiest applications I've had to deploy. It's small, simple and not hugely difficult to control.
GPO is a backwards pile of crap, There are plenty of other far superior ways of deploying settings and applications. Novell Zenworks being a personal favorite. Version 10 is directory/OS independent (can run on windows and use AD as a user source) and it has some pretty nifty features such as deploying Local and Domain GPO in a more logical fashion, manipulating txt files/infs and a swag of other things that make deploying an application such as firefox a breeze.
When someone says shrimp, tiny little nippy things come to mind. Quite common in the Murry river, they're actually quite tasty! Big load of Garlic prawns on the Barbie are also quite a treat:)
I can tell you what happened, Priminister Kevin Rudd successfully campaigned and got elected over a government (Liberals/Nationals Coalition) that had been in power for 12 years, that same government had also made some pretty unpopular decisions and their leader was likely to retire before the end of the full term, meaning that someone we didn't vote for would be in charge.
As for the Censorship, Optional Filtering that must be provided by all ISPs was on the cards and has been for every governments election agenda to investigate these issues for over a decade. Senator Conroy placed very little focus on it, but instead toured the country giving talks in lots of communities about how the current government was letting Telstra hold the country back and that something needed to be done about the infrastructure. I went to one of these "Broadband Forums" and was very vocal in regards to the fact he was making the wrong decision, that Fibre to the Node wasn't good enough and it turns out I was right and they wasted a whole heap of money investigating that.
Now as it turns out Senator Conroy has proven to be an uptight Religious Nut that wants to make sure no one can see "Unwanted" content on the Internet. Not only that, unwanted will be decided in secret, behind closed doors and no one will be told what is unwanted. Senator Conroy is wasting a bucket load of the Australian Tax Payers money and there are a lot of people who are very very angry about it. Anecdotal evidence this may be, but I have not spoken to a person who, once explained in full what they are actually doing, in support of Senator Conroy's position.
I applaud Google for not buckling to the whim of one very closed minded man and his agenda.
Or maybe even the Pirate Party. They are on a membership drive, nows your chance to get on board and support a Party that believes in maintaining our rights and freedoms.
Any direction towards providing working open source drivers to the community is a good one. But they've been promising lots of things for a long time and failing to deliver. My notebook has both intel and ati graphics, currently Intel's oss drivers are fantastic. Who'd a thunk it, slowest piece of crap in the windows world, performs quite well in the F/oss world (admittedly no gaming, but it handles compiz dual screen quite nicely).
Is it just me, but the only bikes I could see on that site all appeared to be "Girl/Female" bikes with a step through design.
Personally the whole concept of the "Male" and "Female" designs boggle my mind, why is it that one with the balls gets the one with the bar? (I understand the whole dress thing on the female bike design, which is where I'm lead to believe it came from..)
Sometimes these decisions are out of the hands of the "techies" you speak of. IE7 tends to turn our machines into slow running pieces of crap, IE8 does some weird things with some of the internal sites (even in "compatibility mode") and Firefox is scheduled to be considered for our next SOE (but that is no small task).
There is no magic button to change overnight, because if there is some small reason that the Alternate browser doesn't work, isn't stable, doesn't present Manager X's favorite site correctly, it will chip away at the products reputation. Now matter how good a product is, unless you get staff buy in and keep up it's reputation (proper testing, piloting, rollout strategy) it will ultimately get shunned by the masses and never be allowed back.
Good "techies" aren't cow boys, whilst there may be a time and a place for quick hacks, replacing an application that is used by every staff member, every day, needs some damn careful planning.
I did, and was thoroughly disappointed, not in the tech, not in the movie, but for the shear fact that unless they come up with something affordable to fix Strabismus or direct interface to the brain, I'll never get to enjoy it:(
I highly doubt it, i4i (ironic sounding name IMO) has a very specific patent on a specific XML function, not XML in it's entirety. Which is why they haven't sued other office packages like OO.org.
It's probably a similar scenario to the Uniloc case. i4i offers a licensing deal for their patent, Microsoft says bugger off, then implements it anyway.
I find alcohol then sleep works for me. Distracts me from the problem, allowing my subconscious to whittle away at it in the background. I have to have some sort of note taking instrument next to my bed during times of seemingly unsolvable problems as I can guarantee one morning I'll wake up abruptly with the answer. Weirded out my fiancé for a while.
In Australia (at least Western Aus), You can call the non-medical emergency Health Advice line called Health Direct. It is staffed by Nurses who are available 24/7. I've used the number myself when My Fiance had some stomache cramps, but wasn't sure if they really needed Urgent attention. They gave us the number to the After Hours GP, who arrived an hour later and that was covered by Medicare (national health scheme), so no cost to us.

Or Australian...
It should be simple, just change the window decorator layout, I'm sure I've crossed this bridge back in the days of screwing around with beryl.
First impression, I like it. As for the close/min/max buttons, that'll be the first thing I change.

What are electrolytes? Do you even know?
I can say one thing, they don't discriminate between OS's. They're proprietary drivers are painful to get working regardless of platform!

Nah they're busy sipping Tinnies around the camp fire.

I can attest to that, Racing Bike + Too Short for it + Bad Shoes + Pot Hole = crying 12 year old!
