..and if they also have 3G ipads to go with those iphones, they count as three "coverage" people.

I like having two phones, so I can turn the work phone off and leave it at my desk when I go home for the day.

Time to buy a red Barchetta and an old farm in the country..

The way around this is to _indent_ with tabs and _align_ with spaces.

Like "UFO 2: Flying"?

As a Norwegian, I'll be celebrating Queen Sonja's birthday. ..or possibly sleeping off the drunk I'm about to have tonight..

Unfortunately, the ReadyBoost concept seems to be patented in the US. Don't know if this patent still applies when the SSD is actually faster in every way than the moving platter disk, however. The clever trick of ReadyBoost was realizing that an USB drive could deliver a small file faster than a hard disk's seek time, so you save time even if the disk has a better sustained data rate over time for big reads.

I hate overlapping windows, and also never minimize anything except pidgin, so my 40ish (stopped counting after 30) open windows are currently spread over 7 dual 1600x1200 virtual desktops. And that's counting rdesktop as one open window.

I wouldn't accept a job where I'd be the only admin. For one thing, the company won't be set to handle my vacation time or any sick leave in a way I'm comfortable with. More importantly, I find that being the only guy who works with something gets old fast. I want someone to discuss ideas with who actually understand what I'm saying and can provide valuable input.

I love it when the boss or project manager takes this role. In addition to reminding people to eat, this person should also be in charge of making people go home to sleep, so we can continue in a useful manner tomorrow and maybe the day after.

When installing road user charging systems, the project manager also makes a fine test car driver.. :)

I'm much more happy with ours after we moved the servers to RHEL (and ~5 years more recent hardware).. We even get proper Gnome now :)

Yah. I know a few people who probably had it, and a few more who got sent home from work for a week just in case, but only one person who actually had it confirmed by blood test.

Personally, I got my vaccine early, claiming "risk group" privileges :)

Actually, failure to smell the milk after I open it has given me grief more times than those other things put together.

We're using ip helper forwarding to two ISC dhcp3 servers (on linux) with a load balance / failover setup. Works just dandy for a few thousand users and 200+ subnets.

Separate pools and subnets per vlan and all that stuff, of course. I'm sure there are howtos on the web..

He explains why DNSSEC fixes one aspect of MiTM attacks, but he fails to mention any reason to prefer it over SSL certificates, or even in addition to SSL certificates. The example he uses (login / banking information) isn't something you'd want to be passing around unencrypted, anyway..
