Google's stock is largely based on speculation. Vapour ideas, which is
why it will not be sustainable if it doesn't translate the projected
growth into reality fairly quickly. That requires purchasing large
established companies with reasonable growth potential but that is very
expensive - eg buying Sun would cost billions. Buying start ups with
phenomenal potential growth based on gambling on some industry trends is
also necessary and likely to be a lot less expensive and if Google's
presence and size is what these need to enable growth they are adding
considerable value just by making the purcahase. Writely is an obvious
example. Its not really an either or but a both. So Google could buy
irows and wikicalc or neither. On balance I'd say Googles forage into
OOo indicates they are likely to want to promote OpenDocument over MOOX
but to what extent they are prepared to put hard cash behind that is
difficult to say and I'm sure they will have worked out the
cost-benefits of different options.

Of course OOo could run on Mac OS9 if anybody would develop a port for

I'm don't remember if it was sold or not). That was roughly ten years
ago and so I have no doubt that a MAC OS9 version of OOo would be
possible if anybody had enough interest for it and created a port for
it. Obviously that's not the case.

I think, and again, I'm just going on what I read in the article, it is
different from VoIP.

It's just that Word rings, and you answer it by clicking clippy. It that
you log into MSO (the corporate edition) so that MSO "knows" where you are
physically in the building. It then sends that information to the CISCO
phone server, which routes all your incoming calls to the phone nearest the
computer you are using. So it's just that MSO is your phone. It just talk=
s
to your phone system.


Maybe we should just do a deal with an open source VOIP software 


That could be a good idea, having some sort of hook into GIZMO (Linspire's
Open Source VoIP) or something - but that's different than what this is
talking about.

I don't really know if OOo needs to answer this with a matching feature - I
don't think we can very easily, and I really don't think we should. I just
saw it as one more way that MS is making MSO dug deeper into the corporate
user experience.

I mean, if you're going to do this - have your computers tell the phones
where to ring - why isn't it a part of the operating system (which for this
service would have to Windows) - instead of the office suite? You have to
log in to a terminal to use it - (in a corporate environment like this is
talking about) - so why doesn't Windows tell CISCO where you are, instead o=
f
MSO.

Since when do you have to log into Office? Everytime I've been in a shared
environment (mostly at school) - when I logged into Windows, my copy and
setup of Office was already there.

I think MS could have made it where Windows told CISCO where you are - but
then the corps could use OOo on their copy of Windows, and still get the
phones to follow you. But by tying it into Office somehow - they made it
where if you want this service (and I can see the value in it) - you have t=
o
have Windows *AND* Office for it to work.

Just my take on the matter...

It is most likely one of the redistribution runtime libraries.
Generally it is better to leave them as they are.

If you wand or need C++ (or C#) you can get a free version of Microsoft's
Visual Studio for example here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/express/default.aspx?wt.srch=1

Some elements of VisualStudio (e.g. the CSC.EXE compiler for c#) are
included in the .net framework directory of any Windows Version from Vista
Home upwards.

Again - the c++ installations you see in add/remove programs, are most
likely some runtime elements that don't harm anyone and it is better to not
touch them ...

There should be no reason, AFAIK, why you can't do what you want. I use
several servers on VMWARE machines behind a router. The obvious questions
are: are you forwarding the correct port(s) (25 for SMTP); do you have any
firewall installed between the ICS gateway and your virtual machine?

Can you try and telnet into port 25 on the virtual machine from another PC
on your LAN, if you can what result do you get?

The UDP communication is coming back from the other mail server. When I

when trying to send mail to their domain. If I open udp port 137 to them,
the mail goes through fine. It sounds to me like they are using NetBios
instead of DNS to do their reverse lookups, but I am still very confused ny

Microsoft Works - Creating a Filter in Works Database

Creating a Filter in Works Database

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 05:35 AM PDT

Ray,
Each month I need to filter out the birthdays. My
database has three columns:
"Birthday" with 07-04 date format
"Year" with -1942 (don't want the age to be known in all
instances, hence a separate column for the year)
"Month" with 07.
To filter out all July birthdays, I filter out the "month
contains 07".
Perhaps your simplest solution would be to establish a
month column. I believe you could use the "July"
designation in the month column, if that is your
preference.
Hope this helps.

Wasting Time Undoing Bold and Underline

Thank you so much James. I'll try that on the very next document I do.

Would you happen to know of any "option" I might have chosen under "Tools-
Options" or "Format" which is causing this to happen? I also realize that
when moving down a line from a bold/italic/underlined line, if you do not
click-off the feature, it will be carried down with the cursor. So, I'll
just have to remember to undo the feature before moving on each time.

Thanks again,

Browse object buttons for Word in Office 365 or 2013?

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 02:42 AM PST

I thought I would take a quick peep at Office 2013 Preview, but after the download from the Microsoft site I'm not sure whether I ended up with a Preview of Office 2013 or Office 365.

However that may be, it seemed the shape of things to come, a lot of them good, but to my great dismay I noticed that there are no longer buttons at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar to select a browse object. That's a huge loss, as it's an invaluable way to quickly check tables, images etc. in a two or three hundred page document, or for checking instances of specific text. The new navigation pane (since 2010) has its merits, but it certainly doesn't substitute for the browse object buttons.

Must we steel ourselves to their disappearance when Office 2013 finally rolls out, or could there be a better place than this to give direct feedback?

The solution in the KB I posted appears to be relevant. One question:
did you RUN the Office cleanup tool? If you just installed it, nothing
will happen unless you select the tool from the Start menu and let it do
the cleanup process. Then, in order to prevent having a handful of
duplicate Office files on the HD, when the Office setup program runs,
YOU must select (Browse...) the folder in which Office was first

Thanks for the reply.

I looked in the Registry on my XP machine and those
values are *not* there.

So, what can I do to get them back?

Since Works Suite2004 contains a full version of Word as do certain prior
versions It would depend on Office version to be installed as to whether
there is a problem with Word

Oh right. I followed an example from a Linux system admin book. This
said use -X to exclude a file.

The example given was -X /proc/*, which basically excluded the /proc
directory.

It said nothing about producing a list of files for exclusion.

I presumed the same would work with a single file.

I just wanted to exclude the swap file.

first-time linux server setup: general questions

What do you want to achieve? For 5 clients, NT4 should do rather fine except
the box starts to fall into pieces.
.... 
As long as you use these printers from clients only, no trouble. Don't think
you want to access them from the server.
 

Taper or similar software will do the trick at no cost. Or just write a
script using cpio or tar to do the actual tape job, and cron it.
 
Samba does really well as a NT style PDC. You will want to save the "my
documents" folder or the whole profile on the server, which makes the
nightly backup a breeze. Samba can run logon scripts when configured as a
PDC.
 
At my former workplace I had a script which connected to the administrative
shares of windows pcs after they logged on (using a root preexec calling a
delay and shellscript) which pushed several things to the clients, in
particular virus scanner updates for their local scanners. One brand of
virus scanner was able to use its database from the server directly, after
doing a little registry tweaking.
For scanning on the server, you will want amavis (mailscanner) and
postfix/imapd/pop3d together with spamassassin. No direct outbound mail
access on your clients, everything has to pass the server and the virus
scanner.
 
openvpn. No, I have no experience with it yet.
 

You will also want a good firewall which iptables can do for you on linux,
with a NAT setup you need only one IP address from your ISP and the pcs
behind are basically protected as long as the gateway server is secure.
If you have sensitive data however, and considering you are a linux
beginner, I would put the server behind a hardware NAT router (assuming you
want have internet access from the workstations).
For further service, become a member of a local linux user group :).

Multi boot 98 Linux XP - need help

Posted: 13 Feb 2004 04:09 PM PST


"Michael C." <com> wrote in message

partition, 

I'd recommend this. It's conceivably possible to run Win9x (includeing
Win95, Win98, and WinME, all of which are really DOS with a graphical
interface) and WinNT (which includes NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP,
all of which are really VMS source code with Microsoft wrapping their tools
around it) on the same partition, but siince WinNT supports an NTFS file
system and there are a bunch of benefits to that, it's usually worth
installing them separately.

Note also: Linux can safely read NTFS partitions with the most recent kernel
modules, but it doesn't safely *write* to NTFS, and perhaps never will
because Microsoft is once again planning to change it behind people's backs.
(Look at the newly announced XML-based filesystem meta-data craziness
they're planning!) If you need to be able to safely write *from* Linux to
the Windows file-systems, use FAT32. You can force NT installations to be
done on FAT32, although it takes some extra selections and isn't recommended
for security reasons.

But sheesh, if you're running Windows, don't expect that level of security
anyway. They automatically share the root file system as \\hostname\c$
without telling you, and Windows mis-handles network passwords so badly that
local file-system ownership is like nailing down the barn door while you
forgot to put up the back wall.....
 

??? I've done this quite successfully. FAT32 on Win9x on the first primary
partition, NTFS for Win2K on the second, and Linux on the rest. But I always
did it with the Win9x install *first*.
 

This happens when you install XP, it doesn't happen everytime you boot with
it, just to be clear.

Help compiling modules... Fedora

Posted: 13 Feb 2004 02:49 PM PST

mot.com schreef:
 

I'm running Fedora (albeit patched with numerous kernel
recompilations) and AFAIK the standard installed kernel package
(kernel-2.4.22-2115.ntpl.i586.rpm) contains the very modules you need.
I'll go check...

yep.. you've got /lib/modules/2.4.22-2115/kernel/fs/msdos/msdos.o and
..../fs/fat/fat.o, just modprobe these and said support should appear
(check /proc/filesystems).

NTFS.. hmm... dunno why they leave it out of the stock rpm, I did
compile the ntfs module in isolation when I needed it, it 'Worked For
Me' but YMMV. Anyhow, if you install the kernel-source rpm and load
the stock Fedora config (load alternative config file in make xconfig)
just add NTFS support as a module in Filesystems.. and go compile.
Sheesh!

But if you want to try and cheat.. install the kernel .rpm, go to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/fs/ntfs, sort out the Makefile and compile ntfs.o -
if that's beyond you, I suggest doing a proper kernel compile :^).
Also the kernel config scripty thingy says NTFS write support is
DANGEROUS - well, I never had any problems with it on a 4gb NTFS
volume.

Samba / Windows XP - Is there a plain password patch for XP

Posted: 13 Feb 2004 11:28 AM PST

deletethisbit.com (Mark Hobley) wrote in message news:<blueyonder.co.uk>... 

doubt a plain password "patch" is needed. check the latest Samba
version.
 

ie., you want to pass plain text passwords on the wire? 

Linux distro/version? Samba version? Which Win patch? Which
registry key?

Don't know of a "solution" off the top of my head, but doubt you need
a patch. Just correct configuration.

Google Groups search with:

Don't cross post so much in hopes of finding a quicker answer -- it
clogs up all the NGs with dropped threads when someone (like me)
prunes the cross posting. If you're unsure where to post, pick best
guess and ask advice where to post.

You'll get an answer/solution faster by posting _complete_and_

Absolutely true. However, RedHat dumped it in RedHat 9 and it's no longer
well supported there. They're using "redhat-config-xfree86", which seems to
be a better tool and supports dual-headed configurations vastly better.

Good ideas, but didn't work.

Eventually I realized that it's easy to use a floppy disk and to
specify

root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage
boot

Everything went fine. Sometimes the low-tech solution works just
fine.It's not as if I reboot this machine very often. rj

Knoppix_V3.3-2004-02-09 a dud?

Posted: 09 Feb 2004 11:23 PM PST

Have discovered that the problem reported below was caused by the ISO
burning software I used, EasyISO 123 which apparently doesn't work
properly with my new LG4040B multi-format burner (but reports the ISO
as successfully burned).

Today I burned the ISO again, with the program EasyBurning 1.62 (which
also failed to burn the ISO on the LG4040B, but reported the failure
and turned out a pure coaster), but using an older Plextor Plexwriter
8/20 burner, and this time the disk booted ok and all but two of the
52 files passed the md5sum test.
