In Canada this may be a good thing, as he says Rogers and AT&T work well together already. Right now (I believe) Roger's cell phone service is done by AT&T Canada.
I looked at getting OpenMail for my previous employment (unfortunately others wanted a MS solution). One of the things that concerned me is that everyone's mail, etc were stored in.pst files and.pst files can be corrupted pretty easily.
"Sunday Driving mode" is the sort of thing I wished more games offered
There was a game at one point called Virtual Springfield which graphically was pretty "Simpsonesque". Not sure what the objectives were but it was laid out quite well and you could explore Springfield.
I can't believe I am defending MS but...
If you had sent that 7.5M file to a distribution list on an exchange server it would only exist once in the database with pointers in everyones account.
Surprisingly I didn't expect this to have much relevance for me as I don't know anyone who actually lives in New York. But then my wife remembered the company her sister (who also lives in Ottawa) works for has an office in New York in the building across the street. I gather there is a bridge that connects it to the WTC. Anyways she was supposed to be there this week but her trip got re-scheduled to a couple weeks later (guess it may be later still). I spent most of the day watching the footage on tv (pick your channel) and noticed one thing.
Although most of the footage was CNN based everybody would use whatever they could get their hands on, competitor or otherwise.
Cisco last week said that they are starting to see a stabilization in their sales and expecting things to look up by end 2002. What I wonder is with all of the.com failures and the fact that only a quarter of all fiber is lit up (see earlier posting) will it take longer than they are expecting?
I mean I would expect that the telcos had upgraded their infrastructure and was coping with the increase in data transfer across their networks from all of the flourishing.com companies. But when they have done that and all of the.com companies are dropping like flies, do you really expect the telcos to need to spend the money as fast as they expect?
So do you think that Cisco's claims are basically fortunetelling and isn't really based on truth? So then comes end 2002 and they will be still suffering along with the rest of the optics manufacturing industry and will see their stocks plummet again.
as long as they manage to make the "Peerless" "click-of-death-less" we should be ok... personally, I wouldn't trust my backup data to anything Iomega makes.
Another thing is that you can pull stuff off of it faster than the Sip drives. I have consistently found that it would take about 15-20 minutes to copy 100M off of a Zip drive. Now 20G at that speed......
Right now the appeal for something like this may be the types who download movies of the net. I tried to get into it once I got my cable access and I'm sorry but to be honest it is cheaper to go out and but the damn movie. I look at the amount of time I wasted trying to find a link that works or someone who is actually allowing downloads on Gnutella and for that amount of time I could spend in much better ways.
Now data backup.... Would it be faster than tape, if so great.

That's Rideau campus. This is where most of the technical stuff was when I went there (93-96). Also we got all of the crap computers at that time. All the good stuff went to the Woodroffe campus which is the main campus.
One common stumbling block I've come across in trying to build these types of office environments is management fear that if I (or the admins with experience with open source setups) were to leave then they'd be stuck - after all it is much easier from a corporate view to find someone familiar with setting up/running a wintel / nt backend environ than linux.
This is what happened at the last place I worked at (an IP Law firm). They wanted robustness in their Servers so I implemented both a Linux firewall and a Samba Server for home directories. WELLL! they didn't like that since if I got hit by the proverbial bus they felt they wouldn't be able to find someone qualified (course this is Ottawa where the two biggest employers are the government and High-tech) so I had to rip them out and implement boxes running NT 4 and Proxy.
The ironic thing is that before I left they were way over the amount of licensed workstations/servers they should have had and this place does intelectual law!! Sooner or later I am going to snitch on them to CAAST (www.caast.ca) just need a job first.
I have to agree with AVP but what scared the crap out of me even before that was the Alien Total Conversion for Doom. I couldn't wait for the Quake one but then it got "Foxed".
How many bets these Dells were just plugged in with a two-pin plug?
I can attest to the fact that it doesn't matter. At my last job (as posted above) I had it happen with 2 different machines (none of them Dells) 1 motherboard was ASUS and the other was a TYAN. Both machines had a 3 Pin powercable and power bar with surge protection and both used a serial cradle.
I saw this happen with 2 motherboards and 3 serial ports. This happened with 2 Palm Vx with the serial Hotsync interface. I have heard rumors about them blowing the serial ports on older motherboards.
I was wondering is there a site that actually gives you a list of typical ports that are being scanned? Granted you could look at the TPC port list but there seems to be typical ones bad guys/ script kiddies try involving trojans that don't necessarily show up on the lists.
But at the same time if you were to get the Love Letter with the Security Patch you wouldn't even be able to open the attachment as it would be blocked. This can be annoying since it blocks anything with a.vbs,.exe,.com,.mdb, etc. so if someone sends something legit they either have to zip it up or rename the extension
Plus downloading the patch is also free. (Course the software isn't since you have to sell your soul to the devil)
Your app looks quite interesting and I may have to check it out.
What problems have been found with the patch? I have it on 64 workstations and haven't seen (or heard) about any problems.
Start regedit, find the word "CompletionChar". By default it's not set. To set as a completion character, set the CompletionChar value to 9. That's all!
The same thing works in NT 4 and is located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
I just called the labour board here for this since they handed me a pager that I am supposed to carry around at all times since I am the sole IT admin for a 50+ workstation network.
According to the ministry, if I get called in the company has to pay me either full pay for the time I am in or minimum wage * 3hrs. That is the minimum that the company has to shell out.
Im thinking about moving to canada before Osamma gets a nuke, a breifcase and a one-way trip to DC/NYC..
I wouldn't move to Ottawa. Some guy who used to work at CSIS (Canada's equivalent to the CIA) said that if a terrorist wanted to set an example for the US rather than bombing in the US, it would be better to nuke Ottawa since: 1. It is the Capitol of Canada. 2. Is less than an hour or so from the US border. 3. Would take out the US embassy in Canada (not like that would be a bad thing it isn't the prettiest looking building).
Ronald Reagon was shot in 1982(?), and it didn't kill him.
Granted he didn't die, but he came very close (this fact wasn't released I think until last year) If it had been Joe Normal walking down the street and had gotten shot, He would have died. Reagan had been fortunate that as President he had the perks of bodyguards (which minimized the amount of shots fired into him) and a car that whisked to the hospital that broke every traffic law in the book doing it.
After saying that mind you I doubt Joe Normal would get shot just to impress Jodie Foster.

I wonder if Archer was packing a sock when he had the hole shot in his leg and was sitting in the doctor's office. ??

MS donate a billion dollars to the FSF?

different kind of display (eg if you were doing a car installation or
something exotic...)
Yessss.. I can see it now Cat5 in my car or wait! Even better wireless!!!

Looking at some of the links posted it seems to be happening mostly on the V series. I guess the metal case makes a good conductor for static.

Shouldn't you carry it around on a cdrom, so no one can replace it with a trojan putty? :)

My current ladyfriend had been giving me way too much sex and I suspect it has reduced my angst level into a dangerous level.
