Well your commenting on a story about a conspiracy behind PAE being disabled on the desktop.
I realize you don't care so much about that, but mentioned avoiding an upgrade. You almost certainly had the option of buying an x64 OS at the time or purchase. Perhaps there was some trade off for compatibility, but PAE would have required similar trade offs.
This is ludicrous. Small villages in Africa and India won't have a stable internet connection to begin with; worrying about traffic shaping is a moot point. Up to this point, remote surgery has been done over dedicated, fiber optic links with a backup surgeon physically present. Frankly, it shouldn't be done any other way.
Because if they didn't, what profit motive would Microsoft have to support this conspiracy?
Do you think Microsoft should have supported PAE on the desktop, hardware manufacturers should have released PAE compatible drivers and software developers should have made PAE aware apps so you could use >3.25GB on 32bit Windows? Sounds like effort that was rightly directed at x64.
Personally, 64 bit on the desktop couldn't have come soon enough. I wouldn't have wanted MS to waste time on PAE. I started using XP x64 as soon as it came out and I'm running Vista x64 now (also Ubuntu AMD64 and OS X). I had to deal with PAE on DB servers, I don't want to think about it on my desktop
Of course, the hordes of people that *don't* want healthcare. I've never met these people, but I have heard plenty of people who've skimmed 'Atlas Shrugged' once talk about them.
It's really not that hard to understand their reasoning. Independent research invariably leads to people posting long theories about how 9/11 was in inside job or we didn't land on the moon or fans killing people in their sleep.
For example, many articles about breads are written by breeders and owners, and while they may know alot about their animals, they frequently repeat myths and exaggerations. When these things are questioned, they need to provide a verifiable source or it gets deleted.
Only if the 5k/year driver purchases insurance on a daily basis.
A better solution would mean 1 mile of insurance for the 5/k year driver is more expensive then 1/mile for the 100k/year driver. The 5k driver pays less overall but more per mile.
Wait, what do you know, that's exactly what we're talking about. High mileage drivers can pay for unlimited policies, low mileage drivers can pay by the mile and with some competition, I'm sure there will be in-between options.
While the moon rocks seem to have a lot of Ti, I doubt we would ship it back... we have plenty of it hear already. It's the 7th most abundant metal on earth and it's contained in just about everything. It's just a pain to deal with using current processes.
This is idiotic, have you seen how many products other companies produce?
I'll just give you some example analogs off the top of my head:
Symantec Virus Removal Tools
Symantec Antivirus
Norton Internet Security
And in response to your questions.
Malicious Software Removal Tool is targeted at the biggest threats and designed to be distributed via Windows Update, it helps protect unmonitored PCs from the biggest threats. Live One Care is an antivirus suite that is, or at least wasn't free, so of course it was a different product. Windows Defender is antimalware, not antivirus. Almost every security company has a similar product matrix.
This is why I switched to the Chrome beta almost full time.
It doesn't lock up on bad Flash sites, it just kills flash (good riddance), it doesn't fail to load JavaScript on Slashdot (Firefox), it doesn't sit on 1GB of my RAM for no apparent reason (Firefox) and it doesn't crash for no apparent reason (Safari).
It's ridiculous the information they can store about me and then turn around and charge ME to look at it more than once a year. And my credit score, that should be free for me to view as well.
I've already had two mistakes on my credit and I'm 25 (1 identity theft and 1 Verizon decided I didn't return FiOS equipment - of course I didn't return it, it's still in use!).
Making this information free and accessible would be a start.
I don't try to project paternalism on people walking down the street. However, when you know someone, especially someone close to you, I think it's appropriate to be concerned when they abuse anything (food, weed, alcohol). How you handle that concern is a different issue.
I just allowed a handful of computer at work to install the update. All of them asked before installing and none of them changed the default away from Firefox.
I agree, this is probably the best suggestion without knowing more of your budget.
Laptops are the closest thing you will get without breaking the bank - you could probably buy a few + storage with for what a truly ruggedized server system would cost. They will be infinitely more portable and easy to run on DC; plus they will run for years on DC while most UPSs wont.
If it must be real servers - I'd build them in something like this:
In any case WoL uses the mac address. Maintain a database of mac addresses to hostnames or employee names or whatever. You could even automate it so the hosts register/update their mac addresses/hostname/whatever pairs with the WoL 'server' when they power on. You log into the vpn, hit the wol server with your hostname or whatever and it sends out the magic packet with your machines MAC.
Please, try this and tell me how well it works. In my experience, WoL works about 25% of the time I need it to - often with no apparent reason to fail. Don't forget that by depending on MAC addresses you must have a "WoL Server" on every segment.
Now I have some Dell's that can wake on ping, that works great, but then they may not spend much time sleeping depending on what you have on your network.

And how many of those machines physically supported more the 4GB of memory? That came out before XP x64 was released?

If only there was a revert option in democracy.

Well someone fixed it before you posted. I viewed your post while the old CSS was still cached, which made your post seem pretty silly.
After a refresh it is indeed numbered and the GP post is lined up correctly.

Answering for the GP...

Somebody needs to explain this.

Heck, you could fit a pretty powerful network, including a large battery inside one - but it will cost lots of money.
I think he is saying the power is inconsistent with solar backup.
Say's someone who's commenting deep into a Slashdot thread. Perhaps you only screw around 19%.

Dear Lord, I must stop complaining about my situation. Apparently I live in an overflowing bounty of IT wealth.
These settings are default. Windows XP defaults to Home/Office Desk profile, Turn Off Monitor: 20 Minutes.
Uh-huh, and that will require a static NAT port map for every machine behind that router. Easy as pie, right?

I think your disagreement with couchslug lies with the your definition of state.
Anyway, that's a good example of why writing laws that will be interpreted and enforced in a way that matches is spirit is difficult.
