Why can't they redirect https? It's their phone -- they can bake into the firmware to ignore bad certificates from their own proxy servers.
I'm told that PSYC is much better than XMPP -- both on the protocol level, the way the stream is decoded, and the ability to scale.
You just used the old insecure password format.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database.* TO user@hostname IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD('password');
So yeah, that was pretty difficult to do right wasn't it?
Tell your company to stop using a Java based Citrix solution (how weird?) and to use NFuse. You have a citrix browser plugin then and it works wonderfully.
Sun isn't Oracle's recommended software platform. Oracle has been releasing stuff for Solaris later and later.
LINUX is the preferred platform right now. Go ahead, look at all the docs for an Oracle RAC. You never see Solaris mentioned in the recommended configurations.
Actually I just glanced at the CD in the corner of my desk -- it's even older than that! version 6i!
The last thing we need is Oracle Forms in OpenOffice. We're finally rewriting our oldest forms to be the new web-based version. You know, so we don't have to go around with a dusty old CD and install Forms and Reports version 7 and then search for that pesky service pack (make sure it's the right one!) to get things working. Don't forget the registry entries you have to do by hand and the environmental variable you have to set in Windows. WHEEEEEEE!
As did I. Someone at MS is being nice, anyway.
If you have a file and encrypt it with an algorithm, it will become encrypted and look like nonsense.
If you take another copy of the original file and encrypt it, it will become encrypted and look like nonsense... but still be identical to the first encrypted file.
Encryption doesn't = random. It just means indecipherable.

Our Indians reportedly ran 100+- miles in a ~24h period to deliver messages. You can't do that with your leg muscles atrophied from shoes.
"We can get some idea of the kind of distances such runners covered from the journals of early settlers. As early as 1794, James Emlen wrote that Sharp Shins, one of the Iroquois Confederacy messengers, ran
90 miles from Canandaigua to Niagara between sunrise and sunset.
In 1835, a correspondent to The Spirit of the Times newspaper told of a Native American who had run 100 miles in a day carrying a sixty-pound bar of lead. Another wrote of a member of the Osage tribe to skeptical
members of the Indian Commission. Seeking to prove his veracity, he proposed a wager. An Indian was to take a message to Fort Gibson at sunrise and return with an answer before sunset, a round-trip journey
of some 80 miles. The wager was won.
In 1876 Big Hawk Chief ran from the Pawnee Agency to the Wichitas, a distance of 120 miles, inside 24 hours. His claim to have run such a distance was not believed. The Wichita chief arranged to ride back with
him, sending a relay horse to the 60-mile point so that he could change horses there. Before the 60-mile point, the Wichita chief's horse was forced to stop and rest, but Big Hawk went on. The Wichita chief
eventually reached the Pawnee village before sunrise, less than 24 hours after their start, and found Big Hawk asleep. He had come in around midnight, covering the 120 miles across mountains, hills, and streams
in about 20 hours."

*yes, I just called them Indians. I've talked to many, and they prefer that term.

LVM snapshots are neutered and almost a complete waste of time. Can you restore an LVM back to the state at the time of the snapshot? Not yet.... Instead you're forced to do cp and dd operations. Inexcusable.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
