I think he meant to store the password in LDAP, then use an LDAP GUI tool to manually lookup the password you need. Although your interpretation would be incredible if it was possible.
I figured as much. I didn't mention it because I wasn't absolutely sure (I haven't seen the repeat posts yet) and didn't want to offend someone I was trying to help if I was wrong.
I think their current plan is to track whole skids, and only until it gets to the store. They want to cut down on the time needed to document the loading and unloading of trucks. In-store RFID is probably a little further away.
I know most people here think that RFID is evil, but stuff like that makes me wish it was here now. Imagine walking into a store, grabbing what you need off the shelf, then walking out. No checkout line involved, not even the self checkout.
Why don't you put it in Access? Then you only have to change the report template, and you never have to relearn the data entry. If the boss insists on seeing it in Excel... I feel sorry for you... er, I mean, Access can export it to Excel. You could even do it in a real database solution, like SQL Server or Postgres, it will just take a little longer.
A) It's been years since I've recompiled a kernel, and I've only compiled a few software packages in years. I use Linux daily at work, and exclusively at home. It may not be as easy to install software as on a Mac, but a good distro is equal to Windows.
B) I agree, but at the same time I find it rare that I have to drop to a command line to do normal computing tasks. I still go there daily, but by choice.
C) I can usually find anything I need online without having to post to a message board myself. However, I do agree that it needs significant improvement. I wouldn't expect non-technical people to search online for their answers.
By the way, you should find other examples to "prove" your technical skill. Ripping videos and using Photoshop aren't too "technical" in nature, especially here. Alternatively, don't try to prove it, just leave it assumed. Note: I'm not calling your knowledge into question, just your examples.
I was once told by some old-school technicians, the ones who remember the pre-network days, that NIC used to stand for network interface controller. And when you put one of those controllers on a card...
Boy, you need to listen to more patriotic country music and stay away from all those hippies at the local college. They'll rot your brain out. That's why you hate America. But with time...and country music...you can heal your wounds. Try shooting guns too...lots of guns. </stereotypical redneck accent>
If embryonic stem cell research is the panecea everyone claims it to be, why aren't more companies coming out of the woodwork to fund it. The patent rights to a cure for all the deceases this can supposedly cure would be a license to print money. Also, it's not just one man's religious beliefs, it's the moral and ethical beliefs of millions of Americans. For some of us, religion has nothing to do with it.
I think he meant 5'6" TALL, not wide. It's a common joke made when discussing Asian cultures in the US, because the average height in Asia is shorter than in the US.
I can actually say yes to that. That said, any replacement that can't do forms gets extra credit in my book. Every form we have is incredibly buggy, and a pain in the ass to fix. I'd love an excuse to replace them. It's not like any of them can't be recreated in ten minutes on our intranet with PHP.
The original submitter is looking for a policy on USB flash drives. That has nothing to do with network adapters. I would hope the users don't have permissions to setup a new network adapter.
I'm not saying it would be hard for them to do, just time consuming, with very little value added to their product for the vast majority of their users. Granted, they probably haven't considered it, but even if they did they'd decide it's not worth the time.
I doubt it would be trivial. They can't just copy the code, because they don't want to GPL their entire product. It would take some time to implement it as a plug-in that allowed them to honor the GPL and their license. Rewriting from scratch would take even more time. Besides, why bother when people using OpenOffice can just use Word documents when exchanging with Word users?
Good point. I guess what I meant to say was, "At least Microsoft did it better than other Windows developers." Goes to show that when it's as automatic as it is in Linux and BSD, you don't even think about it.
When I worked in a shipping department, we had a situation like that. After entering an order, we had quite a few codes to enter and confirm, stuff like whether the order was finished, what printer to send it to, etc. The codes we entered never changed, so we had the whole key sequence memorized. Twenty keys, on five different screens, and we'd enter every one of them before the system had pulled up the second screen. Users never look at confirmation screens.
You mention a possible alternative in your last phrase. If routine stuff such as the weekly test had no confirmation screen, but important stuff did, maybe users would notice it.

And the current release estimate would be Fall 2006.

The faster they move merchandise, the more they can move. More merchandise means more revenue.

I'll give you my opinions on these.

I've always wondered if they were making it up.
Yeah, I hear you on that. You really need it to be a bottle of bourbon.
What about the embryo? It's his/her body, not the mother's.

Wow, I hadn't heard that before. I certainly didn't see it myself in Korea, but I was only in a small portion of the country.

Exchange is $67 per mailbox, more than twice Communigate Pro.

Please God, let that happen. Then I'd be breathing heavy looking at a woman's feet.
I'm on NT Workstation.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
Speak for yourself. I died three weeks ago!
