Group Policy Management
Bronze Award:
DesktopStandard GPOVault 2.1
GPOVault 2.1 from DesktopStandard Corp. takes this year's Bronze Award in SearchWin2000.com's Group Policy Management category. It's an add-on to Microsoft's Group Policy Management Console and provides complete lifecycle management for Group Policy Objects. It also allows off-line editing capabilities through an isolated working environment that can be used to manage GPOs off the production network.
Although judges didn't think GPOVault 2.1 offered the value and innovation of our Gold and Silver winners, it excelled in the areas of performance, ease of use and integration. GPOVault 2.1 does not require installation on a domain controller. Ideally it should be installed on a server that has good connectivity to the domain controllers and moderate resources available to control the vault of GPOs. Administration of the GPOs residing in the vault is done within the GPMC.
The software controls both simple and complex Group Policy environments. It provides full access to archived GPOs while tracking every change made to every GPO in the network. It allows administrators to restore GPOs from the archive, roll back to an older GPO or roll forward to a newer GPO.
Pricing: GPOVault 2.1 is licensed per Active Directory domain at a cost of $1,400 per domain, which includes one year of product updates and customer support.

While the full results of the hearing regarding Bethesda's motion for preliminary injunction against Interplay in the Bethesda v. Interplay case were sealed from all but the lawyers, we managed to acquire the following bit:
Motion Hearing held on 12/10/2009 re [3] MOTION for Preliminary Injunction filed by Bethesda Softworks LLC - Argued - "DENIED" as stated on the record by Judge Deborah K. Chasanow. (Court Reporter - Sharon O'Neill) (td, Deputy Clerk)"
What does it mean? Preliminary injunction is "an injunction entered by a court prior to a determination of the merits of a legal case, in order to restrain a party from going forward with a course of conduct until the case has been decided". Bethesda wanted the court to order Interplay to stop its work on Project V13 and its sales of the Fallout Trilogy pack until the case is decided; however, judge Chanasow decided not to. Until the case it fully settled, Interplay is free to proceed.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that Interplay will win the whole case, but who knows, it might make Bethesda consider a settlement, in order to avoid prolonged litigation.
Update: We have also received a longer statement, although it also does not go into details:
BETHESDA SOFTWORKS LLC v. INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
Civil Action No. DKC 09-2357
For the reasons stated in open court, it is this 10th day of December, 2009, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction (paper 3) BE, and the same hereby IS, DENIED for the reasons stated in court; and,
2. The clerk will transmit copies of this Order to counsel for the parties.

For the first time in over five years, Bossier Parish Community College will be offering sign language courses for academic credit. Scheduled for spring 2010, the two courses, which will be taught by nationally-certified sign language interpreter Margaret "Peggy" Gray, include INTR103 American Sign Language I and INTR106 Psycho-Social Aspects of Deaf Culture. INTR103 will be offered in the daytime from 12:30 p.m.-1:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and INTR106 will be offered on Tuesday evenings.
Because of a renewed interest in sign language among the community and a greater need for interpreters in various areas within the community, the BPCC administration and the Liberal Arts Division recognize the significant role that BPCC could play by providing instruction in the field and reaching out to help an under-served population in our city and surrounding areas.
According to Gray, currently, there is no place in the area for individuals to receive college credit for sign language courses. These courses will be especially beneficial for individuals working in schools and agencies that serve individuals who may be hearing-impaired. Future plans include expanding course offerings each semester as enrollment and interest continue to grow.

Bossier Parish Community College and EnCana Corporation have partnered to create a new degree and certificate program in oil and gas technology at BPCC. College officials welcomed EnCana personnel to the campus for the presentation of a $100,000 donation to jumpstart the degree program. The Associate of Applied Science in Oil and Gas Technology and Certificate of Technical Studies in Oil and Gas Technology have both been approved by the Louisiana Community and Technology College System Board of Supervisors and are currently seeking approval from the Louisiana Board of Regents.
Chancellor Jim Henderson accepted the donation and commented, "We could not be more grateful to EnCana for this gift to BPCC. We take great pride in ensuring our programs are aligned with the needs of the industries we serve. EnCana's generous donation is a validation of BPCC's responsiveness and an investment in the energy sector's future workforce. The EnCana-BPCC partnership will help ensure the continued growth of our regional economy and provide our citizens with access to education leading to quality careers."
"As a large portion of the energy workforce nears retirement, it is incumbent upon industry, schools and communities to collaborate and work together to create ways to bolster our workforce and provide a career path for young adults in a growing and exciting industry," said Deborah West, EnCana's Team Lead for Community Relations. "Part of being a corporate citizen is contributing to the institutions and programs that are important and vital to the community's well-being. Bossier Parish Community College has a strong reputation of providing exceptional educational opportunities to the students of northwest Louisiana. We're proud to work with them in developing a new program in Oil and Gas Technology that can provide a career path from high school through community college, and can also benefit those currently in the field with the education needed for advancement."
EnCana Corporation, one of North America's leading independent natural gas companies, has U.S. headquarters in Denver, Colorado. EnCana employs over 500 people in its Texas and Louisiana operations. EnCana seeks to build partnerships with local groups through the Community Investment program and has focused much of its attention on educational efforts and workforce development. EnCana has been responsible for developing Oil and Gas Technology programs in several states including two in Texas: Navarro College in Corsicana and North Texas College in Bowie. EnCana knows how important its workforce is and contributes to educational programs that foster tomorrow's workforce.
The Oil and Gas Technology programs will help prepare students for careers in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas boom has resulted in increased demand for workers in this and other related positions. The new programs are, in large part, a response to the tremendous increase in job opportunities created by the exploration and increasing significance of the Haynesville Shale natural reserve in northwest Louisiana.
Bossier Parish Community College's degree program will do the following:
BPCC anticipates enrolling students in the programs for the Fall semester 2010. For more information about the programs, contact Dean Frank Viviano, Division of Mathematics and Technical Education, 318-678-6363 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Cyber Security Education Consortium has been awarded a prestigious $2.7 million three-year Advanced Technological Education grant from the National Science Foundation to help reverse the outsourcing and offshoring of high-tech jobs.
"America is an economic superpower, but its per capita production of technical workers is dropping," said Sujeet Shenoi, F. P. Walter professor of computer science, University of Tulsa. "Already more than two million technological workers in China and India are working in U.S.-related jobs, and the number could quadruple in 10 years."
CSEC was launched in Oklahoma in 2002 to build cyber security programs at technology centers and two-year colleges and now has grown to an eight-state consortium of technology centers, community colleges and the University of Tulsa. "It has grown beyond our expectations," said Sheryl Hale, research and development manager, Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. "We now have 32 institutions with 105 instructors. More than 1,250 students are pursuing degrees and certifications, and more than eight states have benefited from CSEC's advanced training opportunities."
The grant titled, CSEC: Reversing the Outsourcing Tide in Mission-Critical Disciplines, will continue growing cyber security education and workforce development programs at two-year institutions in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, CSEC will create "centers of excellence" in the strategic areas of secure coding, automation and control systems, and mobile communications devices. The consortium's primary objective is to provide high-quality cyber security programs in at least 19 metropolitan areas in the eight-state region. "The goal is to annually train 2,500 students and 3,000 incumbent workers with advanced skills that will stimulate job growth and stem the tide of outsourcing and offshoring," said Shenoi.
Gov. Brad Henry said the ATE centers of excellence will be vital to keeping and creating jobs in this region. "America must reverse the tide of offshoring by spurring high-tech job creation," he said. "CSEC's centers of excellence will serve as hubs for economic development by creating a globally competitive workforce that will attract high-tech companies."
Gov. Henry added that CSEC has thrived because of the synergy of the educational partnerships between all three branches of Oklahoma's higher education system: the CareerTech system, Oklahoma's largest community colleges, and the University of Tulsa, a Carnegie research and doctoral university. "CSEC's latest initiative capitalizes on its demonstrated success in creating a highly skilled cyber security workforce," he said.
The Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education serves as the lead institution for Oklahoma in partnership with six technology centers and three community colleges – Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology and Rose State College. The University of Tulsa, a national leader in cyber security education and research, serves as a mentor to the two-year institutions.
CSEC's curriculum at consortium institutions is recognized for its quality, breadth and depth. Oklahoma schools were some of the first technology centers and two-year colleges to offer Committee on National Security Systems certifications. In fact, Rose State College is the only community college in the country to offer all six CNSS certifications.
"Because of their expertise and hands-on experience, CSEC graduates are highly sought after by employers," said Hale. "Many graduates have continued their education and training at major universities." Articulation agreements provide students with seamless education pathways all the way through doctoral degrees.
The ever-increasing complexity of wireless technology and electronic data is escalating the need for trained professionals in digital forensics, information security, secure coding, control systems and mobile communications devices. CSEC is poised to make a significant workforce impact and contribute to national homeland security efforts.

Congressman John Fleming was honored today by Chancellor Jim Henderson at a brief reception at Bossier Parish Community College. College administrators and local dignitaries applauded the Congressman's efforts in securing the funding under the Strengthening Institutions Program. This grant will be in the amount of $384,268.00 for the period 10/01/2009 through 09/30/2010. It is anticipated that the grant will be for a total of 5 year(s). The program provides grants to eligible institutions of higher education to enable them to improve their academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability, and increase their self-sufficiency.
The full description of the project is as follows:
BPCC and Northwestern State University will eliminate barriers to produce an increased number of health care professionals by analyzing current practices to improve retention and transfer of Nursing and Allied Health students at both institutions, integrate effective academic/student-services practices and strategies that will support positive outcomes and improve student transfer and transition between the two institutions, and implement curricula and instructional revisions for improving the academic skills of students This cooperative agreement will bring the two institutions together and provide a focused agenda which will (a) increase the second-year-success rate of academically under-prepared students from both institutions, (b) increase student retention-to-graduation in BPCC programs, (c) increase the number of students who transfer from BPCC to NSU to study nursing, and (d) increase the graduation rates of BPCC allied health students who transfer to NSU's nursing programs. The two objectives are to increase student retention and transfer rates by improving academic instruction in common gateway barrier courses in Nursing and Allied Health programs and to develop joint Student Success programs with services that increase student retention and graduation rates in Nursing and Allied Health programs.

Beginning fall semester, Bossier Parish Community College will be offering Building Information Modeling courses using the Autodesk REVIT software. H. Michael Hill at GoStructural.com writes: "The technology of building information modeling (BIM) is going to transform the construction industry and affect the jobs of every discipline involved in creating and sustaining the built environment… " In the future, BIM modeling will be used to design, engineer, construct, maintain, renovate and even demolish structures.
General Services Administration and Department of Defense are now required to submit projects in BIM model format. BIM modeling facilitates the design and engineering of green and sustainable projects and builds digital models that can be explored by other software such as Computational Fluid Dynamics.
BIM goes even further than modeling, however. The user can generate complete sets of construction drawings directly from the model, and these drawings are updated automatically as the model changes.
Having this training available through BPCC will mean that local design and construction professionals can begin to use this cutting edge technology now.
An introductory class will be offered in the fall and an advanced class will be offered in the spring.
For more information, people can contact Frank Viviano, Dean of Math and Technical Education, at 318-678-6363 or email@example.com.

A recent grant has been awarded to the Division to work with The University of Louisiana-Monroe and develop a new degree program for managers in the healthcare industry. This degree program aims to address the skill development needs of those professionals serving in middle management positions of hospital systems in Northwest Louisiana.
In 2008, Accelerated Learning graduated 40 students, who each earned associate degrees. Twenty – one students are expected to graduate in the spring 2009 semester with another fifteen graduates projected in the summer 2009.
Marilyn Jackson, a recent graduate of the program, commented on why she was successful in an accelerated format. "I was successful in the CALL Program for three reasons – determination, willingness to go the extra mile, and the support of the staff. The program is worth so much more than time and money, I am now a college graduate. I am so thankful that I entered in the CALL Program."
Accelerated Learning course enrollments have grown significantly. From fall 2007 when the first accelerated courses were offered in a regular semester to fall 2008, course enrollments grew by 160. From spring 2008 to spring 2009, course enrollments grew by 200.
When asked the reason for the success of the program, Luke Dowden, Dean of Accelerated Learning, replied, "The staff who admit and advise our students, as well as the faculty who teach accelerated courses, understand the adult learner. An intentional combination of personnel and support services has created a successful learning environment for our students."
Dowden reports that the average course retention of all courses is 84% with the average success rate of those who remain in courses averaging 97%. The reason for the success is not a lack of academic rigor; yet, it is the determination of adult student to succeed and dedicate the time required to be successful learners.
Demonstrating their responsiveness to student requests, Dowden projects more 8 week course offerings in the coming semesters in both online and hybrid/blended formats which require some classroom attendance. Hybrid/blended formats will help BPCC transition some of its new adult learners to the online environment through some level of face-to-face interaction.
In addition to 4 week and 8 week online courses, the Accelerated Learning Division also houses BPCC's Portfolio Assessment, an opportunity for adults to earn college credit for college level learning gained through work, volunteer, or personal experiences. Two graduates of accelerated learning have earned college credit through prior learning. Dianna Weaver, a CIS major and spring 2009 candidate for graduation shared her experience with earning credit through portfolio. She has earned 9 hours of college credit through portfolio assessment.
"Portfolio was a rewarding experience which allowed me to validate my years of business knowledge, and translate it into college credits. The CALL staff was unbelievably supportive in assisting me through the process of developing my Portfolios. Portfolio is an excellent vehicle for validating prior learning, and translating that knowledge into college credit. Other students should consider using Portfolio for college credits. It is less expensive and requires less time than attending class!"
For more information about completing degrees through accelerated course and/or portfolio assessment, people should visit the Division of Accelerated Learning at www.bpcc.edu/callstudents, call 318-678-6050, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Students in a BPCC's Telecommunications students recently produced a documentary about Shreveport's Strand Theatre. I Am the Strand will air on the statewide television network LPB, Wednesday, March 18, at 7:00 pm. Because of its Louisiana-themed subject matter, the documentary was a perfect fit for the programming lineup of Festival 2009, LPB's membership drive.
Rusty Johnson, an Assistant Editor in the Telecommunications Division, guided students throughout the development process of the documentary. Students wrote and video graphed the documentary about the 84-year old theatre. Student Director Laken Bowles supervised editing of the nearly hour-long video, which was mastered in high definition and completed in May 2008.
The documentary also features interviews with Mr. Tom Carleton, Chancellor of BPCC; and Virginia Shehee and Jim Montgomery; Co-founders of Save the Strand. Archival source material was provided by KSLA-TV and Noel Memorial Library at LSU-S.
For additional information, please contact Larry Powell, Dean of the Telecommunications Division, at 318-678-6304 or email@example.com .

The 2008 National Report by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSEE) recently featured BPCC's Writing Support Services Learning Laboratory (WSS) initiative as a best practice for increasing college student effort.
The publication praised the support program and its successes:
"The Writing Support Services (WSS) program at Bossier Parish Community College (LA) encourages greater student effort on writing assignments by providing students with intensive support at all stages of the writing process.
The Writing Support Services Learning Laboratory began through a grant by the Charles T. Beaird Foundation in the spring 2007 semester as collaboration between BPCC's Learning Center and the Division of Liberal Arts. The success of this pilot program led to two consecutive grants from the Louisiana Board of Regents, which have helped to fully establish the writing lab within BPCC's nationally award winning Learning Center.
In the fall 2008 semester, writing support specialists logged 746 visits/interactions with students about their writing assignments in English and other courses. Of those 746 visits, 255 were submitted through the Writing Support Services' online system and 144 were students receiving help for assignments in courses other than English.
For more information about the Writing Support Services Learning Lab, visit www.bpcc.edu/thelearningcenter or contact Program Assistant for Writing Support Services Laura Jones by phone at 318-678-6491 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My other find today: a nice, old, manual bread machine from Landers, Frary & Clark.. I've kinda wanted one of these for awhile now but have never seen one locally. So when I saw one today, and the guy gave me a good deal on it, I got it. It even still has the table clamp with it. Still in usable condition, but I think I'll just keep it for a decoration. :)

ATHENS, Ga. – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope didn't make a shot from the field for the first time in his career, and Georgia still found a way to keep its winning streak alive.
Caldwell-Pope then reached a conclusion no one would have dared one month ago: "We're a good team."
Georgia overcame Caldwell-Pope's off game and beat cold-shooting Texas A&M 52-46 on Saturday, giving the Bulldogs five consecutive Southeastern Conference wins for the first time in 12 years.
Caldwell-Pope, second in the SEC with his average of 17.8 points per game, had only 10 points – all on free throws. He preserved his streak of scoring in double figures in every game this season when he sank two free throws with 17 seconds remaining to help hold off the Aggies' late comeback.
"Every player on the team is contributing," said Caldwell-Pope.
Nemanja Djurisic led Georgia (12-11, 6-4) with 13 points. The Bulldogs have won five consecutive SEC games for the first time since winning six in a row in 2001.
Before the streak, Georgia was only 1-4 in the league. The Bulldogs' slow start to the season included deflating nonconference losses to Youngstown State, Southern Miss and South Florida.
Georgia is two games over .500 in the SEC for the first time since a 9-7 league record in the 2010-11 season. That team won 21 games overall and made the NCAA tournament.
Fabyon Harris led Texas A&M (14-9, 4-6) with 17 points. Elston Turner had 13 points despite making only 2 of 14 shots from the field.
Texas A&M made only 4 of 22 shots (18.2 percent) in the half and trailed 25-16 at halftime. The Aggies shot only 24 percent from the field (12 of 50) for the game, easily its lowest mark of the season.
"We have to make shots," said coach Billy Kennedy. "We have to put the ball in the goal. We had opportunities to score and we didn't do it, and Georgia's defense had a lot to do with that.
"When you shoot 24 percent from the floor for the game, you're not going to win many games."
The Aggies, who lost 59-52 at home to Georgia on Jan. 26, were swept in the season series.
Georgia also made only 12 shots from the field, a season low.
Georgia coach Mark Fox called the game "a slugfest, really a physical game, a hard-fought game, both teams really defending."
Georgia won the game at the free-throw line. Led by Caldwell-Pope's perfect 10-for-10 shooting, the Bulldogs made 25 of 32 free throws. The Aggies made 19 of 26 attempts.
"They got to the free-throw line too much," Kennedy said. "We got to the line also. The difference in the game came at the line because neither team could really shoot the ball."
The strong defense led to 47 fouls, including a technical foul on Caldwell-Pope with 20 seconds remaining. Harris and Turner each made two free throws on the possession to cut Georgia's lead to 50-46 before Caldwell-Pope's final free throws.
Caldwell-Pope, who had a least a share of Georgia's scoring lead in 20 of 22 games before Saturday, missed his only three shots from the field as the Bulldogs struggled against Texas A&M's tight defense. The Aggies rank third in the SEC, allowing 59.8 points per game.
"We had a lot of respect for Texas A&M's defense coming into the game," Fox said. "They guarded us very well, and I thought our defense was pretty solid from start to finish. Our kids were hungry and made enough plays to win it."
A 3-pointer by Djurisic early in the second half – the first 3 of the game for either team – gave Georgia a 28-18 lead. Caldwell-Pope made two free throws to stretch the lead to 12 points.
Harris sank three 3-pointers in a 14-5 run for Texas A&M to cut the lead to 35-32. Georgia recovered with eight unanswered points, including 3-pointers by Vincent Williams and Sherrard Brantley, for a 43-32 lead.
The Aggies, coming off a 70-68 win over No. 21 Missouri, were 0 for 7 from the field against Georgia before Elston Turner's baseline jumper with 12:10 remaining in the first half.
Georgia's Donte Williams fouled out with 4:35 remaining, less than a minute after the Aggies' Harris left the game with four fouls.
Kourtney Roberson had 12 rebounds for A&M.

Maybe you need to replace it with another software
First off - im kinda lost on what is the "dock"-like thing on the top section of the desktop. At first i thought it was "slit", but when i changed a few settings, different component responded.
Anyway, i need to remove that. How to do it?
I used flux-for-back. I Suppose it that release is different and i will get a different result with "apt-get install fluxbox" ?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/4/2013 (1600 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I had a wonderfully uplifting weekend weather column in store for you today, but then I looked at Environment Canada's website...
What I'm trying to say here is we are going to get some more sno... some more (very bad word) sn... OK, I think you know what I'm trying to say here.
Maybe it would be easier if you heard it from someone else, someone like my buddy Dale Marciski, a weather expert with Environment Canada.
Here's what Dale told me: "It's the last thing we need, but there's another Alberta clipper low-pressure system that is going to bring us some snow and temperatures well below normal."
Go and grab a box of tissues, because Dale says by the time you read this, there should be about four centimetres of fresh sno... fresh sn... white stuff on your driveway, and we'll probably get one more centimetre later today and Sunday.
"It's not anything big," Dale said in a comforting tone. "It's just a nuisance. We want to get rid of what we have and this is just delaying the snowmelt that much more."
Along with a 60 per cent chance of flurries, today's outlook calls for a bracing high of -1 C, which is way under the normal high of 7 C at this point in what we used to consider spring. On Sunday, we're talking a 30 per cent chance of flurries and a high of -4 C. It should get a touch warmer by Wednesday.
At this point, what you want to know is how unusual it is to have this much snow sitting around in April. My buddy Dale says it's pretty darn unusual.
As of Friday, we still had 38 cm of snow. During the last 30 years, there have been 13 years where we've had no snow at this point in April, and 10 years when there was just a trace.
In the remaining seven years, there was snow, but you have to go back to 1996 and 1997 to find anything greater than what we have today. In 1996, for example, there were 42 cm on the ground on April 4. In 1997, there were 12 cm but later that day we got walloped by a storm that brought the snow cover up to 60 cm in the following days. Good times, eh?
But we will not let a little frozen precipitation prevent us from having fun, such as heading to the convention centre for Piston Ring's 39th World of Wheels auto show featuring awesome vehicles, like three generations of the (be still my heart) iconic Batmobile, including the original 1966 version.
Speaking of icons, while you're at the convention centre, check out the 2013 Central Canada Pop Culture Expo and just maybe get your picture taken with actor Adam West, Batman in the famed '60s TV show, or Burt Ward, who played Robin, or Yvonne Craig, who stole our tiny hearts as Batgirl.
Or become a local hero by taking in the Bud, Spud and Steak event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight at the Area Nightclub at Canad Inns Fort Garry on Pembina Highway in support of Cvet's Pets, the non-profit group created by Bomber long snapper Chris Cvetkovic to help Manitoba's animal-rescue programs. You can meet current CFL players and Bomber alumni.
If you're still feeling really sad, swing by my place. The salt from your tears will help melt the sno... on my driveway.

DETROIT - Former Detroit contractor Bobby Ferguson wants to be let out of jail to find a new attorney to represent him in a federal bid-rigging trial.
In a bond request filed Tuesday, Ferguson's attorney Gerald Evelyn said his client's upcoming trial is "highly complicated."
READ: Ferguson's bond request
"Mr. Ferguson needs to identify and communicate with potential new counsel, and as currently situated, cannot do so in a private and confidential manner, whether by phone or email," Evelyn said.
Evelyn said his client won't flee if let out on bond because his passport has already been seized and Ferguson intends to vigorously contest the allegations.
READ: Ferguson faces new charge in federal bid-rigging case
Ferguson, who was found guilty in March of racketeering and corruption charges in a trial he faced alongside with Kwame Kilpatrick, is awaiting re-trail in May for a separate case on charges of conspiracy, money laundering and obstruction of justice.
READ: Ferguson indictment - March 25
He's accused of obtaining millions of dollars in public works contracts through false statements and bid collusion.
He's also accused of making false statements in a proposal as part of the Garden View Estates project, a public housing development in Detroit.

Did you turn off NoScript from Firefox ?
BT5r3 Fresh install from the ISO to a VM with 40g of drive space. Everything else is working fine. The only things I have updated was
apt-get update/upgrade
Nessus "plus registered it without issue"
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1
removed the icedtea6 stuff (didn't seem to work when it was there and a few sites said remove it)
I followed the instructions from this link
changing the 1.7.0_05 to 1.7.0_07 in the paths

in my printenv I have
When running the plugin symbolic link command I ran the below command, done within the mozilla/plugins directory (and because java is x64 there is no i386 given in the example, only amd64

in my usr/lib/mozilla/plugins I have
libnpjp2.so (nothing else in this directory)
When this didn't work I deleted the symlink and even tried just copying the file to the plugin's directory, still didn't work
(all this copying, creating of links etc... was done without firefox running)
But the Java plugin still does not work. I have read a number of online articles but nothing. When I do a

When I run

No enabled plugins found
when I goto the below website it says "Browser has Java disabled"
added these lines to my .profile and etc/profile (as per another suggestion from a website)
export JAVA_HOME
export JRE_HOME
export PATH
AFTER ALL OF THIS THE JAVA PLUGIN STILL DOES NOT WORK, so NESSUS WON"T WORK PROPERLY.
I can't understand why so many people are having a problem with this issue and why it seems so difficult to get it working
Did you turn off NoScript from Firefox ?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I get this
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.
How can this be an older version of Java, I have only just downloaded and installed it.

When you retrieved data from an XML file in previous exercises, the Flex framework has automatically converted that data into an ArrayCollection instance of generic objects.
In this exercise you will convert this ArrayCollection of generic objects into an ArrayCollection of typed data. You will use the Employee class, which was created in Exercise 2.7 (Creating an ActionScript class and instances), as an ActionScript value object class. Its properties will correspond to the values in the XML data.
In this exercise you will learn how to:
In this section you will create an ActionScript class.
You should see the Employee.as file open in the Editor view.
public variables all data typed to the String class.
public class Employee
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;

public var deskLocation:String;
public var city:String;
public var state:String;
public var countryCode:String;
public var hireDate:String;
public var evaluation:String;
public var postalCode:String;
In this section you will create a local variable, named
employeeData, to store the data returned by the HTTPService object. You will then loop over the employeeData instance to access each generic object to create an equivalent value object, which you will then place into the employees ArrayCollection instance.

employee and use the content assist tool to data type it to the
Employee class (see Figure 3).
employee local variable will hold the data for the employee that is currently being evaluated in the loop.

for each loop by changing
i to create an iterant named emp and change
int so that it is data typed to the
Object class. This parameter will be used to store the value being looped over in the data.
Note that the
in operand automatically specifies the
ArrayCollection variable as the data to loop over.
for each(var emp:Object in employeeData)
for each loop, to the
employee variable, create a new instance of the Employee value object class:
for each(var emp:Object in employeeData)
employee = new Employee();

emp.firstName value:
for each(var emp:Object in employeeData)
employee = new Employee();
employee.firstName = emp.firstName;
employee.firstName value assignment, repeat step 11 for the rest of the Employee class properties.
for each(var emp:Object in employeeData)
employee = new Employee();
employee.firstName = emp.firstName;
employee.lastName = emp.lastName;
employee.id = emp.id;
employee.title = emp.title;
employee.email = emp.email;
employee.managerID = emp.managerID;
employee.department = emp.department;
employee.location = emp.location;
employee.deskLocation = emp.deskLocation;

employee.countryCode = emp.countryCode;
employee.postalCode = emp.postalCode;
employee.directDial = emp.directDial;
employee.hireDate = emp.hireDate;
employee.evaluation = emp.evaluation;
employee.phone = emp.phone;
On each iteration of the loop, a new instance of the Employee class is created with data provided by the returned data from the HTTPService call. The loop will continue to run until all return data has been evaluated. Currently each of these employee instances is only available in this function. Later, you will populate the employees ArrayCollection variable with the typed data.
In this section you will use the Flash Builder Debugger to view the first generated employee instance.

This is only one of the value object instances that are created in the loop. Currently, each new loop iteration overwrites the previous instance with a new instance. In the next section, you will populate the
employees ArrayCollection variable with the data before it is overwritten.
In this section you will add each employee value object created in the
for each loop to an ArrayCollection variable.
for each loop, add the employee object to the
employees ArrayCollection using the
addItem() method.

You should see that the
employees ArrayCollection variable is populated with 12 Employee value objects.
You should see the DropDownList control is populated with employees (see Figure 9).
In this exercise you learned how to create a data model using typed data. In the next exercise you will use the Flash Builder Data Services wizard to connect to a web service and generate ActionScript value object classes.
