It's just an AD server. Why would running under Virtualization environments, Hyper-V, Multiple AD servers, matter ?

Jeremy.

Yes :-). That's why you can use the Windows tools to administer Samba4.0 AD server :-).

Jeremy.

Ahem. Microsoft provided a positive quote for the press release, and were involved in bug fixing to ensure interoperability.

So no, I don't think they hate it :-).

Jeremy.

Oh, the old "government is the *problem*" crazy.

I'm sure you only drive on roads you paved yourself, in a house you built, eating food you grew in your own garden.

You probably make an exception on books though, and read Ayn Rand instead of only books you wrote yourself :-).

Yeah, I'm such an evil collectivist. I even pay taxes ! (and I want to pay *MORE TAX*, how about that for a scare story to tell your kids at night :-).

That's funny. I feel *exactly* the same way about public fire service. Why should *I* pay to subsidize the lazy bums who have fires in their houses. Makes my taxes go up - takes more money out of my pocket. After all, I'm sure I could negotiate with the fire-service people after my house is on FIRE to get the rate down. It's not like it's a service everyone needs, right ?

Sigh. Libertarians. What *would* we do for comedy without them...

Sad to say....

Just doesn't happen, eh ?

From that well known communist daily, Bloomberg's BusinessWeek:

You may be right wing, but you don't get to have your own facts. The real world always impinges.

Sure, I can believe as an NHS nurse she had lots of horror stories about how broken the system is. I can tell you lots of horror stories about how broken every company I've ever worked for is :-).

But (and I'm sorry to hear she passed away so you can't ask here) I very much doubt that she would have preferred to impose the US-style system on her patients, had she had experience of both systems.

I live in the US, and I'd pay double my taxes just to get a working NHS over here. Having experience of both systems I know what I'm talking about. It's the peace of mind.

If you've never had it, and only lived in the US system you won't really understand what I'm talking about. It's like trying to describe color (note the spelling there :-) to a blind person. But I'll try.

Imagine just NOT HAVING TO WORRY about healthcare or costs. Seriously - NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT IT AT ALL. Ever. That's what the NHS brings to people's lives.

People over there complain about it, but that's because they also don't understand how truely disfunctional the US system is. They (people in the UK) have no concept of being made bankrupt and homeless by healthcare costs. They just can't imagine it.

I just read your message again...

"I just lost all my savings paying my wife's health costs"

Wow. Just, wow. The fact you consider losing all your savings preferable to a National Health Service is, well..., just really *sad*.

I know it's true, because I live here. But I'm always astounded when I'm reminded how Americans have absolutely no concept of what a civilized society really looks like.

Oh, you read it in the Daily Mail ! It *MUST* be true then :-).

See here:

for details...

Damn, and you were doing so well there for a minute....

But then you criticised the NHS (National Health Service, for non-Brits).

Now most other things about the UK can be considered shitty (as with the US), but the one thing that *DOES* work in the UK is the NHS.

Don't fuck with it. No one wants a US-style (aka built by and for private insurance companies) healthcare "system" (in quotes because it really doesn't work over here) in the UK.

I worked at Batchelors foods with Steve Singleton from ABC before they made it big. He saved me from being beaten up by the resident bully. It's a funny ole' world :-).
