Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Datacenter support network load balancing. Kind of like Beowolf where the machines divide the tasks among them. Never used it. We only had clustering running on advanced server at work to test it.
SQL 2000 Enterprise and Exchange 2000 Enterprise support clustering on advanced server and datacenter server. I assume they support network load balancing too.
Melissa is a bad example since WSH has always been there, but patches and virus updates only came out after the fact. How about when hackers stole some of the source code from Microsoft? I bet there is a least 1 flaw that someone other than Microsoft know about.
I actually posted this question twice, and I'm glad they used this second posting with our actuall situation. The first one was more of a what if scenario.
As far as terminal server and IIS, you need IIS if you want to use the Terminal Server Advanced Client and go in through the web. I was originally taught to use TS through IE and forgot going in through the TS client.
If we do go with Datacenter, the servers will host SQL 2000 Enterprise in a clustered enviroment. We currently use SQL and have a propritery in house written app for it.
And as far as the Code Red holes being found months prior to infection, I just used this as an example. I remember in 1997 and 1998 NT had new security holes every week. Windows 2000 is slightly better. 6 months ago I remember downloading hotfixes that will appear in service pack 3.
My question still remains, if a new flaw in IIS, the kernel or any other part of the OS is found how long are we supposed to wait for a fix? I forgot the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the compaq people said they customize the source code for your enviroment. They will need a copy of our in-house app, get in touch with the EMC engineers because our EMC box will be our clustered storage and analyze everything else. Then we will get a CD with a customized copy of Windows 2000 Datacenter. Like EMC, the servers will be monitored by another company and they will most likely know of any problems before us. Every so often we will get a new CD with updates, service packs, etc customized for us. But if a new worm comes out in a few months that exploits some currently unknown flaw in Win2000 or any other part of the OS, will we be dead in the water while we wait for a patch? After September 11th we were calling EMC for tech support on our Symetrix and we were basically told get in line. They had richer customers to support first.
If we do buy datacenter I'm planning on burning me a copy and install it on my home network. And maybe share it out to a few thousand of my closest friends.
I think Ford can re-tool all of their plants right now if it wasn't for the auto unions. Re-tooling plants for full automation will greatly decrease the number of workers needed, and cut the unions' power. So of course they would be against it and threaten to strike.
So we are left overpaying for our cars to keep an out of date organization alive.
I think the beauty of this is that states will be able to tax those who don't live within their borders. New Jersey currently does this. If you work for a New Jersey based company, but not a resident you pay NJ income tax. Even if you don't work within NJ.
My last network admin I worked for used to work for a NJ based consulting company. He worked at the client's site in NYC and lived in NYC. He had to pay NJ income tax. NYC and NY state used to do the same thing but stopped a few years ago.
If localities start imposing internet taxes on anything bought within their juridictions I think we'll see a migration to other states. We should start seeing localities try to entice.com's to move with tax breaks, zoning law breaks, and everything else that governments use to lure businesses into their borders.
THis is the wrong place to argue this point. Slashdotters only want free stuff. If it costs anything they will try to find a way to get is for free. They don't care about you as an artist. To them, you should be thankful that they listen to your music. If they pity you enough they'll send in a few dollars through that website that takes contributions for starving artists and musicians.
As an artist you don't need money. You're doing this for the love of music. All the kids who dream of being rich rock stars aren't real musicians. Real musicians starve. Besides the music isn't yours. Once you burn a CD and sell it, it's theirs. They can buy one CD from you and share is with 10,000 of their closest friends over the internet. If you're lucky you'll sell it to enough people to pay back the cost of the PC and the CD burner. Then you'll have to worry about the rent, food and musical instruments.
I've used both, and Win2000 Terminal Server beats VNC hands down. It's faster and has more features. You can set security, amount of connections, time limits on active and idle connections and a bunch of other features. I like it better than PC Anywhere too especially over dial up lines. PC Anywhere slows to a crawl and terminal server slows down only a little over dial up.
Most games that come out are junk. Console or PC. It's like any business. Within 3 years 95% of all new businesses fail. Blizzard, EA, Activision, Infrogames and a few others will survive if they make good games.
CNN and MSNBC are reporting that an NBC employee has tested positive for anthrax in NYC. Looks like that as well as this being the 1st war of the 21st century this is also the first biological war of the 21st century. Since I live in NYC, I guess I better get an anthrax test just in case. Quite a few people around me have gotten a cold lately.
They want an ID card with Oracle databases being run on Solaris servers.

Actually the DOD is already implementing this. It's called Defense Message System. Each DMS client is supposed to have a fortezza card reader. For the uninitiated a fortezza card is a PCMCIA card with a unique key. Then you have Exchange servers with DMS software on them. Anythin that needs to be encrypted goes through DMS.
Unclassified but sensitive includes performance ratings, personal data, etc.
Those of us who either currently work or worked in the past for Uncle Sam know there is an IP network in place for DOD, NSA, CIA, FBI and some other agencies for passing around classified info.
While I don't agree with parts like holding indefinetly without warrants, these new proposals are nothing new. Only thing new is the technology.
It's always been US law that if a judge agrees you're a suspect the police and FBI can pick apart your whole life. They can come into your house and business and seize everything as evidence, tap your phone and etc. Only thing different now is they're only going to need one warrant. It'll save on paperwork and effort.
Not only that, but the prices are for cheapo RAM with no compatibility guarantee. If you buy from your OEM or anything with a compatibility guarantee for specific models it'll cost more.
runs their financial database on Oracle 8i I think it was. It runs on Solaris OS. As far as email is there any unix solution that can rival exchange? And I mean have an integrated address book so users won't have to hunt down and remember email addresses.
America has always used it's best scientists for military research. Do you know that an M1 tank can ride at 30-40 miles an hour over rough terrain jumping up and down. But the computer will compensate and keep the sights straight and level on the target. Then it will shoot out a laser that when it returns will tell the computer the weather conditions, wind etc to compute the firing solution. An M1 tank has something of an 80% chance of hitting a moving target from 1 mile away in this enviroment.
The next generation of weapons are supposed to be so called brilliant weapons. They will distinguish between friend or foe. The next generation cruise missiles are planned to fly around the battlefield for hours until they spot a valuable target worth destroying.
The US army is planning a Unix based TCP/IP network on the battlefield for instantaneous sending of information up and down the chain of command. From the combat vehicle fighting a battle to a corps command center hundreds of miles behind the lines.

About a year ago some hackers from Russia hacked into Microsoft's internal network and downloaded some source code over the period of a few months.

They will just have to train a new generation of nerds. Or they can just use the national guard.
I just love language. There is no such thing as bombing in military speak. It's called preparation of the battlefield.

You said it. It's supposed to be secret. No we have to kill everyone on /. without a security clearance. I wonder if JohnKatz has a security clearance?
Those of us who either currently work or worked in the past for Uncle Sam know there is an IP network in place for DOD, NSA, CIA, FBI and some other agencies for passing around classified info.
Why the need for another one?

The army's landwarrior runs on win2k. Personally my experience with win2k is it's been extremely stable. Close to rivaling our solaris based firewall.
runs their financial database on Oracle 8i I think it was. It runs on Solaris OS. As far as email is there any unix solution that can rival exchange? And I mean have an integrated address book so users won't have to hunt down and remember email addresses.
They aren't used for precision bombing. Their mission is carpet bombing. Just like they did in Vietnam.
