You are missing the point, midway through the article and I quote; 'and his punishment was to be sent back to a closed prison.' regardless if it happened to one or one hundred inmates, the only way such rehabilitation can work is if the threat of returning to 'closed' prison exists. If that threat where not viable the inmates would have no reason to rehabilitate themselves.

Submission + - What do I do with eDirectory? 1

I know it may sound like I'm jumping the gun here, but I recently (as in last week) inherited a very large eDirectory based infrastructure after the previous sys-admin who literally built this directory from the ground up hopped the fence for greener pastures, following our other sys-admin who left a few months ago. I am now the only 'sys admin' on the team and am thinking in the very near future I will be faced with a very crappy decision. I can allow management to force Active Directory adoption because 'everyone else is doing it', I can 'hope' all will be well with Novell after the sale, or I can ???

Honestly I'd rather not ditch eDirectory but lets face it the writing is on the wall. So there's the question Slashdot, if presented with the above scenario which competing directory solution would you choose?

IT Asset Tracking and Helpdesk Software? 82

Posted by Cliff on Saturday August 19, 2006 @10:45PM from the IT-assistance dept.

MJanofsky asks: "I am the IT guy for a new, smallish non-profit organization. I won't always be able to be in my office to access information about our a users machine or to get the word that there is an issue somewhere. What I am looking for is something similar to the likes of Numara Track-It!, but it is very cost-prohibitive despite having all of the features needed. What it needs to include is integration of the HelpDesk and Asset Tracking parts (i.e. a user submits a ticket with equipment associated to it via a web interface and when I view it, I get the option to view the profile of the equipment), it has to be able to use bar-codes, be web-based, and ideally under $300. It would also be nice to have auditing via the network, and remote-control features but those are in the 'if it has it, great' category. Do Slashdot readers have any suggestions in their endless wisdom?"
