Most businesses would have shit after a few devices were lost or stolen. Seriously, how do you lose a laptop or smartphone like that? Do thieves rove the NASA parking lot in packs? Is there a mugger riding up and down in the elevator?
For an organization of that size with a fair share of mobile users, I do not think the number is very high. Our organization has all policies and training in place to avoid laptop theft, but there are still quite a few of them. Most happen during travel. Airports are bad. Then again, most organizations keep their numbers internal, so we will not know if NASA lose more than the average.
You have to reexamine your infrastructure and find out *why* that info was on an endpoint to begin with.
And when you examine the infrastructure you may find (we do) that there is no LAN speed infrastructure everywhere (not to speak of the latency crossing a continent), and there are cases where there is no connectivity at all.
Keeping all data centrally is a good idea, but sometimes the real world will just not cooperate.
You need to have a Software Assurance agreement to get it. Also, it is for enterprises. It is basically managed XP-Mode, so for small environments, it is probably simplest just to install XP mode for those who need it.
Of course, XP mode will not get patches in two years time (as XP), so this is not a long term solution anyway.
I think you have a typo in there. You would need to purchase Win 2012 Ent to downgrade to Win 2008 Ent.
No. There is no Windows 2012 Enterprise.
You can run Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise (and even Datacenter) on a Windows 2012 Standard license. The only limitation is that you only get the Windows 2012 Standard virtualization rights (2 VMs).
No typo, and I have read the licensing documents, as this impact our licensing purchases quite a bit.
To do that now, you would need to purchase Windows 2012 Standard license and downgrade it to Windows 2008 Enterprise.
And why run it on the Free Hyper-V? The Windows Server 2012 Standard license entitles you to run Hyper-V + two VMs on the box (provided the root partition is not used for anything else besides managing Hyper-V).
Suing over $6.50.... even with a complete victory he would probably end up with something like $.50 after the lawyers get their part. This must be somebody with too much time to waste.
This is a problem only when your mobile device is not mobile anymore.
It will only be charged when it is stationary on a charging hotspot. Move it a few inches, and no charging.
It is still alive in Norway (and I guess a lot of countries) as well. The message here is that as long as people use it, it will be there. However, the demographics of the user base (average age is pretty high) indicate that it has a limited future.
Personally, I have not used it since we got triple play fiber ten years ago. Even when I used it, it was a pain, as my TV at the time did not buffer the pages. Any page change involved watching the page counter going through all the pages I did not want until it reached the one I wanted. I also found out that the less popular pages were not included in every loop, so for some pages I had to wait quite a long time.
It is hard to miss something I do not use. Another obsolete technology I will not miss is the telefax...
As you seem to have superior knowledge: How can the position of a speed sign be copyrighted? How is the position of a speed sign a "produced work"? What is not a fact about it? So far nobody have claimed that a fact can be copyrighted, so is your claim that a fact can be copyrighted?
Money might work, if enough customers were willing to pay to keep updates coming to avoid obsoleting old hardware and/or software that only works with XP.
My guess is that those actually willing to spend money rather spend it on updated software and new hardware. Those who stick to XP are more likely not to want to spend money on the OS. So the result is given...
The statement itself isn't what's legally binding. Unless explicilty stated otherwise via assignment to the public domain, copyright protection for produced works (such as photographs) is automatic in the United States
As the position and speed limit of a speed sign is not an artistic expression, your post actually support what I wrote.
Obviously it's the capture that's copyrighted. Certainly it's ambiguously stated, but did you really not understand it?
As it is a legally binding statement, it needs to be unambiguously stated. Also, if each and every fact is copyrighted by the "discoverer" that would place some severe limitations on the information, as each and every copyright holder would need to accept changes to the use of the data. This means that as an example replicating the data may require a license from all copyright holders. From the posting, it appears that this is not the case, so the copyright has no value whatsoever.
And facts can be copyrighted. The sun rising over a meadow is a fact, but a picture or drawing or recorded description of it is copyrighted.
There is a difference between a fact (the sun rising at a certain time at a certain place) and an artistic description of it (picture or written description). It is the artistic description that is copyrighted, not the fact. So your example is not relevant.
From the home page "the sign you capture is copyrighted with your name since you found it".
How on earth can you copyright a speed sign, and even if you could, how can that copyright be relevant to anything?
The location and speed limit of a speed sign is a fact. How can that be copyrighted? How can it limit the rights of others who observer the sign to publish its location and speed limit?
If anybody were entitled to copyright a speed sign, it would be the authorities that put it there and who actually own it. How can the location of other peoples property be copyrightable? Looks like somebody took the concept one step too far...
I highly doubt that the ISP is willing to mess up the network configuration and take the risk of unpredictable network problems just to give some people an extra address or two. Especially considering that most people install a router with NAT to get unlimited internal addresses anyway.
Forgot the missing address: The gateway address. The router needs to have an address so that it can talk to the rest of the LAN. So for a/29 subnet, 5 is the maximum number of addresses available for the user.
A/29 subnet contains 8 addresses.
The first address is the network address and cannot be used.
The last is the broadcast address and cannot be used.
This leaves one unused address in your case, which may well be a local address for the router or some other ISP use.
So basically, you have the 5 addresses your ISP can/will give you.
See http://www.aelius.com/njh/subnet_sheet.html for details on subnets.
Windows has had NFS (client) support since Vista. NFS server since about Windows 2003 server... I know as I have used it on Win 2003.
And as a previous poster noted, PowerShell has been available for some years now, and has been significantly improved in Win8/Server 2012.
GPL does not require that you include the source. It is sufficient to provide some way for the user to get it. That means it must either be published somewhere (like on a website), or the distributor offer to send the source code on request. Most GPLed software will most likely include information on how to get the source code in the software itself (like my Samsung TV does on one of its help screens).
I think 0.0.0.0 [wikipedia.org] would be perfect for accessing one's own machine as no-one would put this address onto the web.
There is already an address for that. It is 127.0.0.1 and it is called the "loopback" address. Any computer can talk to itself using that address, whether it has been assigned an IP address or not.
So put in a link on the paper to somewhere they can order the collection on CD. Then both of those who may want it can have it without the geek squad needing to hand out hundreds of CDs to those who don't need them.

If oil comes from Norway via pipes probably not
No pipes for the Swedes! They can get our trash, but oil? NEVER!

Afaict you can get any speed you want pretty much anywhere you want if you are prepared to pay enough.
I think my employers networking people would love to see that in Siberia or in Africa... without spending our entire network budget, that is.
OOI Is that price for a "boardband" connection or for a serious connection with dedicated bandwidth, service level agreement etc?
This is for private use. The bandwidth is real, as the ISP has really good lines. This is not in a low cost country, by the way...
Where I live I can get 400 Mb/s up and down (symmetric).
The price? $1000/mo. I guess you will really have to need it to spend that kind of money...
