Regarding credit for reducing healthcare costs... I'd gladly give you credit, but first, we'd have to USE such a system for at least one mission-critical application. In the words of our <computer systems steering committee> regarding Linux, "Additional operating systems would not only further dilute our current capabilities, but would also require an investment that would prove to be cost prohibitive, exceeding possible benefits to the business."
They prefer the reliability, flexibility, manageability and low low TCO of Microsoft products, from server to desktop. So rather than spend my time writing Perl scripts on Apache servers, it's VBScript and Outlook Forms on Exchange servers for me! There... I admitted it. :-( -jcf ----- Original Message ----- From: "Post, Mark K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:22 PM Subject: Re: Probably the first published shell code example for Linux/390 > Ah, but it's not binary stuff, which is why the masking is necessary. x'00' > = end of string and x'0a' = line feed, so ASCII bash scripts that are going > to be executed can't have them embedded directly. > > As far as being an indirect cause of rising healthcare costs, do I also get > the credit for reducing them when one of your systems is _not_ cracked? :)
