The keys can't be interchanged. They are akin to Server 2003 and 2003r2.

hasn't stopped us

We bought some Olympus digital dictaphones for this: they record to MP3 and then if there's any editing required we shove the result through Audacity.

My Debian AM wrote about synergy a while ago: My Boss, with a little help, starts the conversion to Linux - Source Guru I haven't got round to trying it though, I have a four-way KVM for my test rig

It's your filter.

so by "not the done thing" you mean "illegal", yes?

Exactly how an inspection should be (a long-standing view).

Now that's the kind of thing that makes it all worth while Nice going!

The instructions on the chat page are a bit out of date - the server is called chat.edugeek.net and you need to log in with your @chat.edugeek.net on port 443.

Radius is a common and open protocol, so lots of things talk to it - unlike traditional Netbios and other Windows mechanisms. It's commonly used in networking because it can do accounting and logging as well as authentication (your ISP almost certainly makes use of it). It's an abstraction, so although the back end can make use of all sorts of authentication protocols - CHAP, PAP, etc - the front end is common to all clients. This makes it much easier to plug devices into it. [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS[/ame]

The big repositories are indeed magic - if you ever want something installed, check them first. Installing from packages makes removing again much cleaner, and they're often well-configured for generic use or will even prompt you during installation (mysql for example). If you don't find what you're looking for straight away, have a good hunt around in case of package renames - in Debian, for instance, the Firefox browser is called Iceweasel. When Lucid Lynx is published you will get OO.org v3.2, so you might find that works better for you.

We provide full email and VLE access and some MIS access. After all, the point of a placement is to simulate the real world (sorry, the real school environment) and if we can't trust them now, we probably shouldn't trust them when qualified. They get a proper induction and AUP, naturally.

Citation needed. And, as I feared, "I think" is not good quality legal advice.

I keep up with it, to answer your original question, it's part of my job (and interests). I actually buy hardly anything though.

The general principle: for .uk domain: Tell your new provider you are coming, ask them for their IPS tag. Tell the old provider you are going, and they are to change the tag appropriately. If they refuse or are generally ridiculous, ask Nominet and pay them the small fee (when I used to work in the industry, it was £17). It's advisable to have the nameservers changed to your new providers spec before having the tag changed. for other domains: Ask your old provider to set the admin address to something you control and unlock the domain. Tell the new provider you are coming and to initiate a request. Answer the emails, wait a few days. Nameserver advice also applies.

Danger, this can leak all sorts of sensitive information if you leave it lying around and publicly accessible (and if it's on your webserver, sooner or later I'll be able to access it). Use it, read it and then rm -f it.

So do it a column at a time. Even doing 100 column table by hand is faster than the two days you've collectively spent trying to come up with the Worlds Most Complex SQL Expression™.

Because you've installed it from the package in the official repositories. The package manager has no business poking around in /var/www and potentially publishing material without the administrator even realising, so it is left up to you to symlink from your publish point to /usr/share/moodle. Note: symlink, don't copy or move or any other horror. This is the only way to have the moodle package maintain itself, during security updates for example. If you're really interested, it's in /usr because it's not part of the base system, it's auxillary software, and it's in /usr/share because all the files are architecture-independent, that is they are not compiled for a particular processor. If they were, everything would be in /usr/lib. And finally, you symlink instead of hardlinking because you can't hardlink directories. (powdarrmonkey is a Debian maintainer.)

Consult your LA's legal department. "I asked unqualified peoples on the interwebs" is not a defence in court.

Good to know you trust them so much as to share passwords with them in the clear... I have had so much spam from examples like http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/06/14/beware-of-pics-for-msn-friends-phishing-websites/

We have a full Facility/ePortal parental system set up and running for a year or so now including replacing girl-post with e-letters. You're welcome to come and see, PM me for location (it's a bit of a drive from Northampton, but not that far).

Well you need some way of editing the database tables directly, and I don't know Plesk well any more. Most commonly, phpMyAdmin, which it might have installed already, or you can install it yourself as a web application (it's just PHP).

WTF? It's so simple:Start a new update query in visual view, drop in the columns you want to consider, set the criteria on each one to "Is Null" and the value you want it to be in the Update To, then run it.

Indeed, Redcar is in North Yorkshire according to my sources... 'spose you could fly.

An update query. Set the columns you want to fill to the value you want them to have, and a condition to only do it on empty if you want that.
