There is a whole tranch of much more basic stuff that Tiger does not do such as DFS shares, no SMB signing etc. You can make Mac's work much better in a AD setup, but you have to shell more money out to a third party.
ADmitMAC-vs-Tiger
To work in a corporate enviroment you need to be able to setup a Mac so that any random user on the system can walk upto the Mac and logon, have their network drive home folder automatically mapped to the computer, and a kerberos ticket stored and used with my web browser, when mapping windows shares, when doing LDAP queries etc. In addition my mail program needs to talk to the Exchange server in native protocols.
Maybe Lepoard will bring all these features, I would be very happy if it did. However I doubt that it will:-(
If you want the ability to recover individual deleted files for example then disk to disk to tape, makes things much quicker and efficient. However I agree 100% only idiots and cheapskates backup to hard drives. If it's not offline it's not backed up. Taking disks offline is not pretty for reasonable amounts of data. Just imagine having to take 10TB of hard drives offline every day! Sure fire way to put your back out really quick.
Then again I am fly to the US in three weeks time for a skiing holiday, and I paid with a cheque or a check if you cannot spell:-). Why, well the holiday company wanted to make a 3% surcharge for paying by debit or credit card. It would have been the equivalent of 100USD so I told then to forget it and wrote a cheque instead.

Well by all accounts the Tongan soldiers where very minimally if at all armed. Clearly if you are trying to set up a new sovregn nation state an army to defend your nation is critical. There are plenty of individuals in the world with sufficient wealth to pull this off.
A couple broadband connections later and a bit of fiddling and you can locate those two NAS drives anywhere you can get a broadband connection. I am looking to put my second one two hundred miles away at my brothers.
I didn't plan the network and yes the cost is one issue. Terminating 1200 1Gbps links into one chassis is another issue. From a practical perspective it is a nightmare. We don't yet have the money for even one 10Gb uplink, let alone a full chassis switch. Besides a NetIron MLX-32 will only provide 640 ports in a chassis and 1280 in a rack. As I said originally we have just shy of 1400 ports in one room. That forms a small part of the building and an even smaller part of the overall network.
Not bad prices, list is 795USD for a fibre optic card and 500USD for a SR optic or 900USD for a LR optic. A CX4 card is only 695USD. With switches like the HP Procurve 2900 having 10GbE CX4 as standard, I predict that 2007 is the year when 10GbE really moves mainstream.
News flash, your average desktop cannot even handle a 1Gbps link, let alone a 10Gbps. Experience tells me that you will see about 30MBps max out of a 1Gbps link on desktop hardware. You need server grade kit to go faster. I can max out a dual bonded 1Gbps link on my servers for example.
Maybe, but at the moment there is no way on earth we could take 1Gb to the edge at work. The network is two big. Think up to 1400 outlets a patch room, think over a dozen patch rooms in the building. We are not using cheap SMB switches either, it's a combination of managed enterprise HP Procurve and Cisco.
At the moment it is 100Mbps to the edge, 1Gb uplinks in the patch room, and 1Gb (sometimes two) uplinks out the patch room. We really need 10Gb uplinks out the patch rooms just to get the performance levels the users are crying out for. We really could use 1Gb to the edge, but this would need 10Gb concentrators in the patch rooms, and 100Gb uplinks, and all *way* two expensive. A 24 port Procurve 2900 will set you back over 1000GBP, and some of the patch rooms have over 50 Procurve 2626's in at the moment.
Surprisingly (or perhaps not) the number of cars that any given road can handle per hour is related to speed and not it the way you might think. For example a road can handle more cars at 50mph than 70mph. So many busy roads have lower speed limits than you might otherwise thing simply to improve the traffic flow.
Taken to the extreme the London orbital M25 has variable speed limits, so as the traffic volume goes up the speed limit is reduced to keep the traffic flowing.
Except a recent survey showed that despite the trend for the rich to have better health than the poor the richest group of Americans had *worse* health outcomes than the poorest British group in the survey. That is despite the spending per head on health being much higher in the UK than the US.
What's the major difference between the USA and the UK when it comes to health care. Yep you got it a goverment run, free at the point of service socialized medicine. So at least on the face of it Julian Simon's analysis is a load of rubbish as it is not born out by the facts.
You missed out all the software that you have extensively packaged up for deployment via GP, SMS, or other system. They will all have to be tested and probably repackaged with Vista compatible replacements. This is a huge task that will take months to complete. As for power management, you can do this if you write a suitable VB script to change the settings and then deploy that via GP.
Halogen hobs are the best. Induction cookers have problems for people with pacemakers and the like. I would note that getting a new gas oven in the U.K. is almost impossible. They are all fan assisted electric ovens. I have lived all my life in a house with an electric cooker.
Actually electric heating is 100% efficient. That is everything you pay for is converted into heat. Of course you could use the nuclear powerstation to produce hydrogen gas and pump that down the pipelines instead of methane. We have already managed one transition from town aka coke produced gas to natural gas.
It's an alpha emitter, you could carry it in your wallet in full view and it would not be spotted. Or better yet put it in the hold luggage. Remember the amount used was tiny, we are talking milligrams.
I guess the number of people who travelled on both contaminated BA planes is very small. If they have localized the contamination within the plane, they probably already know who brought the stuff into the UK by cross checking with seat numbers. Problem is if it is the Russian state he/she could be a none existant person travelling on a fake passport. Though we probably have CCTV and other photographic evidence so we will know what they looked like. There are some advantages to having all those CCTV cameras:-) They really do help after the event to get the guilty bastards.
Does the UK have an extradition treaty with Russia? In due course that could be rather interesting.
You make it sound *much* *much* easier than it is. The chances of actually being able to do it in practice are very small in the first place. The chances of it being done in this case are vanishingly small to not be worth considering.
No a single "not flawed" study would not be enough. It must be a *REPETABLE* flawless study for it to mean anything. If it cannot be repeated reliably then it was just a statistical fluke. The reality is that in fifty years of research nobody has ever been able to produce a repetable study that shows any links between low level EM fields and any sort of illness or developmental problems.
The reality is for WiFi, mobile phones or similar technology to cause the problems that are often suggested would require a significant new way for EM fields to interact with matter that has gone completely unnoticed till now. This would require that parts of the standard model that have been experimentaly proved to unprecidented levels of precision are also plain wrong. It just is not happening fokes.
Problem with that is whatever individuals and lawmakers might like to think, copyright infringment is legally not theft. That is a quite simply and abundantly clear point of law to those in the know. Unsurprisingly judges hearing cases involving copyright infringment have a tendancy to be in the know.
Because lots of expansion cards have BIOS's option ROM's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS#Firmware_on_adap ter_cards Most noticable are video cards which *all* have one, most RAID cards, all bootable SCSI cards, and many network cards.

It's a mutual building society, so firstly it is not a bank anyway. Secondly it cannot just be brought out unless a majority of it's current customers vote that way. The Nationwide in line with most of the other remaining building societies in the U.K. have made the process of de-mutualization much harder in recent years. It therefore unlikely that it could be brought out by anyone.

All I have to say is Coventry. The Germans are the ones that started firebombing cities not the British.

True, but when the option was sold there was no blockbuster, and the previous attempts where comercial flops.
