Any player will let you fast forward and skip chapters as you want. Unfortunately it's the media company that forces you to watch trailers, warnings and other such drivel. THe warnings are on a lot of disks. The trailers and ads are only on a few discs. You can always use that time to go get a drink or something.
They are doing a debt for equity swap. In english, they are issuing more shares of stock in exchange for the retirement of some debt. This will result in less interest payments, ability to pay off the rest of the debt and have free cash flow to keep the company going. People should read the article. The reason for chapter 11 is for the debt to equity swap to take place, the company has to be legally under bankruptcy protection.
So it's alright to hog the telco's bandwith and cry about it when they try to limit it. But when someone else hogs your bandwith it's bad. How is that possible?
Win2000 server alreasy does this. You pick a time server for your PDC. Naval observatory is a good choice. Then all of your DC's sync of your PDC and the member servers and workstations sync off the DC's. All automatically.
Competition is about bringing better products to market than your competitors. The best doesn't always win. The best features for the price wins. Consumers vote with their pocketbooks.
Everytime a government agency doesn't get it's way or desired budget they always bring on the doom and gloom stories of civilization ending and all scientific and social advancement coming to a halt.
But it wasn't Windows that was at fault. The motherboards that the K5 CPU's ran on were junk. The VIA and SiS chipsets were horrible. I used to reinstall my Win98 box on a K6-350 monthly. Never had any problems like that on intel CPU's. VIA actually made you install drivers for the chipset.
I like the current AMD CPU's, and have stock in AMD. But anything concerning K6 and earlier was a joke.
And where will that fictitious organization get the money to lay all these T1's? The costs of laying the last mile under the city streets is the most expensive. Then there is the access costs that have to be paid to the backbone providers. Keep on dreaming.
Most users have no idea how the tech works and interacts together. So the solution to huge support costs is to dumb things down. Even helping a user troubleshoot on the phone is an ardous task. Now I don't mean the average slashdotter who knows more than the support people. But the average user who only knows who to click the icons on the screen.
As far as servers, bandwith is expensive. You're always free to purchase the business package which lets you run servers. It's always the small minority who are the bandwith hogs and want it all for less than the cost of providing the service.
Technically any non work related material on a company computer is not allowed. But if an employee has mp3's on their PC's no one cares. It's the file servers we care about. Late last year I started searching for MP3's and other media files on our file servers and found around 6GB worth in our company of 700. Including MP3's I found plenty of porn. Including some very sick stuff. I just deleted all the files. I did this every few weeks and soon people got the message. At one point I found a female employee with lesbian porn in her home folder. She was fired.
I stopped the auditing for a few months and the mp3's came back. So I deleted them again. And that's the policy. If you put MP3's onto company file severs they get deleted without any notice. No extra software required to do the searches either. Were on NT/2000 so I just PC Anywhere or terminal server into the server and do a search locally for the offending file types. I can do all of our servers on a friday morning while eating and having my morning tea or coffee.
His sabers look different than the SW ones and I bet he doesn't call them light sabers. Article said the company name was arc wave. But I'm surprised why lucas hasn't come calling. They are very close to the SW light sabers. And wasn't it was star wars that started the whole laser sword thing?
Only problem is that the problems aren't OS related, but application related. And the article doesn't say what system they run it on. Could already be Linux. Or it could be another UNIX, or NT/2000 or a mainframe on the backend.
Not much specifics. Basically says the union hates it and the FAA and Raytheon say it's OK. It lists a few problems, but doesn't say if it could be the result of user error. We all know how users always say the system crashed when it's really their mistake. I'm not saying it's good to go for production, but it could be another time when the union is afraid that it will automate too well and result in people's jobs being lost.
Forgot to add. The biggest challenge for the NSA was figuring out how to filter and sort through the info. If they did it 5 years ago then chances are that by now they wrote a program to filter all the info and categorize it.
The cables carry internet traffic from Europe to North America. Unless they route their email through asia it can get read. The biggest trouble is sorting through all the info.
A while back the Wall Street Journal had an article that supposedly in the mid 1990's the NSA figured out how to tap undersea fiber cables without tipping off the engineers monitoring them. Supposedly they had a submarine that could pluck the cable from the ocean floor. Then somehow they cut it with special mirrors that would retransmit the signal and not alert the engineers that the cable had been cut.
The article was in the paper around a year ago and if you want to look it up you have to shell out $$$ for the online WSJ subscription that may have it archived.
In exchange 5.5 it depends on your back up program. We have it with Veritas net backup. Exchange 2000 it's out of the box. And with Veritas or Commvault software you can do single message restore. Or there is deleted item retention time out fo the box. Even if user empties the trash folder the message will still be there fot the number of days you specify on the server side admin program. You just recover the message in outlook client.
I ran isinteg with all options and to fix everything on a 12GB database and it took 30 minutes to fix it. Another time we lost power a few times in a few hours. Decided to run isinteg since we had sudden shutdowns on the server. Same database took 45 minutes that time. We had 20,000 warnings after multiple power losses and a UPS failure at the same time. And this was a huge APC UPS that wasn't wired right by the previous generation of admins and electricians. 6 hours? You must have some old hardware.
And I forgot to add. Deleted item retention. You set the number of days. The user deletes an email and empties the trash. The email is still in the database for that number of days and can be restored without back up software.

I spend a huge amount of time calling live sex lines. Who would they sell this info to?

It's blackmail because it's cheaper for Sun or any other company to pay up than to fight a legal battle with IBM.
You can get an OEM copy on Ebay for that much. Or from a local computer store. You just have to buy a small piece of useless hardware with it.

Roll it out into production and patch it later. Only full production testing will find all the bugs.

Backups are important. I work for an internal IT in a company and we do them every night. Fulls on weekends.
