They mentioned a delay in deleting - could this be shadow copies being made? Actually in general indexing and VSS slow things down a fair bit, are the equivalent services (or daemons I suppose) turned on for their tests?
It's occasionally a handy feature, life saving in Server 2003, but with Vista anyways, for some reason they've decided to not allow the user to determine when to take copies. Like I'd like to be able to do nightly copies; I don't need one every time the system installs a program or whatever.
Suppose this does come true. You're still paying MS for licensing at some point whether it's a VM or a real one. (I was actually wondering about this sort of idea the other day...our company is leary of VPN access to personal machines, so why not package up a VM and they can use that...their potentially infected machine doesn't actually touch the network itself right?)
I'm in a vaguely similar situation. In my current situation if I got cut, I'd be like, "Okay, feel free to call me, my consulting rate is $200/hr."
Eventually they'd call:
- other guy:
- can handle basic help desk - sure
- can manage citrix/TS - no
- can manage ERP - no
- can deal with scripts - no
- can perform complex troubleshooting - no
Have you tried NOD32 from eset? Been using that for a year or two now, doesn't take up a lot of space and is fairly unobtrusive. (Their heuristics aren't the best, and I usually shut that part down).
You can actually run stuff from the search bar, and at the same time it will search ahead for what you are typing...actually my favorite feature in Vista and something I actually miss when in XP.
On my Vista box at home I don't even go into Programs anymore, just start typing Far and it brings up Far Cry, Far Cry 2 etc...good stuff.
I suppose you could make all sorts of legalistic, pedantic arguments about why what she did was justifiable. But at the end of the day, it's just a mean thing to do. Why would we want someone like this teaching seven year olds?
I dunno, if it happened to our 5 year old I probably wouldn't put up too much of a stink. I'm sure my wife and I would vent to each other about how stupid it was. I guess the subversive thing to do would be to just tell our son, "Oh she's just mean, you don't need to list to that particular teacher the next time". Then if she came back to that particular class, she would have to deal with it. Hopefully after that she'd just quit:)
I've got my WRT54GL...haven't bothered to do Tomato (as I haven't noticed them throttling yet, but I don't do P2P; I use XBL, Steam, and FTP or HTTP basically...)
But I can't wait to geek out and give it a shot...hey you never no I may just order a second dry loop and another teksavvy account (then i'll have 400GB, and 10/2 service woohoo).
Hey, I for one, welcome our Canadian mind controlling overlords. I mean if it wasn't for the CRTC who knows what I might get to watch! I'm so glad they are out there, watching over me, and making sure I remain a pure (well 20% pure), undiluted (well only 80% diluted), Canadian!
Plus you can run MLPPP (even on a single connection), and get around Bell throttling your DSL (even though you are only using their phone lines and are actually with a different DSL provider).
I think as long as your WPA passkey is not easily guessable and long enough you should be good to go.
MAC Address filtering and not broadcasting your SSID is really not doing anything for you though. MAC addresses are trivial to spoof, and SSID can be sniffed out without too much trouble.
There is no inherent weakness or flaw in socialism or communism for that matter but every single implementation of either one on a national level in any country in modern history has been bad.
I disagree with your premise, but even if I did agree, do you really think the USG is the one that is going to get it right??
It's not like I'm sitting him down and saying, "NO GUNS EVER" or anything like that. Basically he's not able to go out and buy the games himself, and I'm not about to volunteer and go buy him Resident Evil or something. I've actually allowed him to play games with shooting (take the overhead shooter , Assault Heroes, or possibly a local-only game of Timesplitters with his cousins or something) from time to time, but he's not going to be sitting there playing FPS on his own all the time either. Heck he's played with Airsoft guns (supervised obviously) once or twice, and while not real guns, certainly require similar safety procedures.
Heck it's quite impossible to keep boys from playing "guns", if nothing else they always have their fingers, but a few leg bricks stuck together, or heck even a twig will do for their imaginations. Just have to find the balance between guns as a forbidden object of mystery and guns as super cool object of power.
This is somewhat true. Basically we took our 5 year old off games, and it helped somewhat. Games would make him increasingly more frustrated, inevitably leading to angry outbursts and crying etc. If, upon hearing this, I went and turned the game off, the he'd usually go ballistic, but really because I hadn't interceded earlier. I'm not talking about violent games (which we don't let him play), I'm talking about ANY competitive game.
So cutting out games does help, but here's the interesting thing - if his lego set (and what's more wholesome than lego?) keeps breaking and his frustration level increases and he would eventually become almost as upset...though not to the same extent as a game might.
So the real solution here is PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. If I see that he's not in a mood conducive to playing reasonably, I need to remove the trigger before it becomes an issue.
Now there's no way I'd let him play graphically violent video games, period. That's just stupid. Like if he sees a tame movie with fight scenes you've just put it in his head to try punching and kicking his 1 year old brother, even if there's no malevolence behind it. And it seems to make him hyper. And exposing him to simulations of shooting people over and over, may or may not have long term effects. I'm inclined to think that there's at least some negative side effects. Heck I can play some racing games long enough and when I get i the car, there's just that tiny hint of unreality, quickly expunged by my rational mind. But if he finds a gun or something when he gets older and he's not grown up, what do you think the logical progression is going to be? Plus hurting virtual people constantly will probably retard his development of empathy over time.
But again, we can't just let him do whatever he wants all the time it leads to unhealthy (or heck downright dangerous) situations. So if I just sit back and let him play and play and go ballistic (while I play my own video games heh), the fault is not the game, it's my parenting.
After the dust settled on all the games I've tried, I think Call of Duty 4 almost gets my nod. Been a great year overall, though there have been a lot of let downs. Crysis went the path of Far Cry in terms of taking their open gameplay and choking it off halfway through, only Crysis really went to town (Going from "okay I'll drive my jeep into the building, hop out, and hit the gas can to..A rail shooter segment...come on!). So in the end Crysis stacks itself up with a traditional shooter, but on traditional shooter grounds it cannot compete. COD4 is a purely traditional shooter really, nothing really new there, but it was done so amazingly well.
But now I'm realizing that the game I'm actually still going to be playing this time next year (new games that come and go aside), is Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Basically it took the excellent TQ and made it more addictive (with multi-level artifacts to collect), and added the caravan (which lets you trade between characters). I've been playing TQ since July of 2006 I think, and I still have the itch to play with TQ:IT.
I remember my high school teacher dropping one on the floor, cracked the case but the thing just kept on going. I do remember some PSU problems, but those things were practically tanks.

I use Mozy also, and I've even done a full restore of 60GB with no problems (though this was due to clean OS installation, not a failed drive).
Then I use Acronis to make a complete image of my machine.
I also (well almost always) refuse to clear camera cards until I know there's at least two other digital copies in existence.
I'm in a vaguely similar situation. In my current situation if I got cut, I'd be like, "Okay, feel free to call me, my consulting rate is $200/hr."

Lucky for him, he doesn't report to me!
Anime is creepy and weird.

Are are you the exception? A grand generalizer anyways.

It's not strange it just means most people have been there done that in college and have moved on.
Lol I believe the people using the power are paying for it.
Isn't boycotting Novell like boycotting the horse and carriage? Does it serve a purpose?
Wow, so you're right because you say you are right you're so, Wow.
Plus you can run MLPPP (even on a single connection), and get around Bell throttling your DSL (even though you are only using their phone lines and are actually with a different DSL provider).

As opposed to the other completely neutral news organizations..right.

Let's all concentrate on making a big red cloud around the world, then we can remove ourselves from this universe all together!
