  1. Viper Antivirus on Central Anti-Virus For Small Business? · · Score: 1

    I am currently testing Viper Antivirus http://www.vipreantivirus.com/ in a similar sized group. So far it seems very fast to scan, none of the users are complaining about extra load and it is easy to administer.

  2. Australia? - No law, just press hype on US To Extinguish (Most) Incandescent Bulb Sales By 2012 · · Score: 1

    There has been no vote in parliament, there has been no law passed. It was just an idea put forward by a single politician and his party didn't win the last election.

    How annoying is it when the press state a concept or idea as law or fact?

    PS.
    I'm not going to get into the cost or carbon footprint left by the manufacture of these expensive alternative lights.

    I read the article and I still dont know.

    Must be very important whatever it is.

    Or perhaps you should stop trying to enforce your American english on the rest of the planet?

  6. Re:White box all the way on White Box, Or Big Names for Lower-End Servers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Go on give him a plug. If he is that good give hime some free advertising.

    I use a mix of whitebox and HP gear. Thats about 35 whitebox and 10 HP.

    I only use the HP gear on the high availability servers as it has great Lights Out using iLO advanced. If I could find something similar that worked as well I would probably stop using the name brand gear.

    The white box servers are great. Parts can be obtained at just about any corner computer shop as there is nothing proprietary, it is built exactly as I want it, I can change the hardware myself without worrying about voiding the warantee and the money I save I can spend on keeping spare parts on hand or extra servers.

  9. Can we see it fall from 107 angles? on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Where is the footage? I expect to see images of the cover falling off from the 107 cameras they recently installed.

  10. Re:Check the HOSTS file as well!!!!!!! on Stopping Unstoppable Malware? · · Score: 1

    Spybot has this feature and can add its own enties redirecting known bad sites to 127.0.0.1, it then locks the hosts file to stop any unauthorised additions.

    You need to use spybot in advanced mode to find this setting.

  11. Re:Cool, but - on Mandriva (ex Mandrake) LE2005 hits FTP mirrors · · Score: 1

    What are you on about? It doesnt delete what you have already downloaded. The only thing you loose is the upload to download ratio figures.

    If you want the DVD now rather than waiting to leech from the public mirrors in a month join the mandriva club and download the full DVD (4gig) or download edition DVD (2.1gig).

  12. Viralator or c-icap for proxy servers on Open Source AV Proxies and Network Scanners? · · Score: 1

    From a mial server point of view amavis with clamd have always worked well for me.

    For squid proxy servers have a look at viralator or c-icap.

  13. SeberTech M4 SeberTool on Best Leatherman-Style Multitool? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Looking for a mini keyring tool that does just about everything and has locking blades. The SeberTech M4 SeberTool is great.

    I own a couple of them and have had them for 3 years so far. The fit in your wallet or coin pocket. I buy one for each of my staff and have been known to give them to friends for christmas.

    I buy mine at Fry's http://shop4.outpost.com/product/2522351 but you can find them elsewhere.

    Most people dont have the distro news turned on by default. You would suprised how much of slashdot you miss using the standard slashdot filters.

    As for Firefox and thunderbird you can get them from mandrakeclub.

    As per the Freecache article the other day the problem is it only caches the exact link not the images. You need to point to freecache for each image.

    How cool. Then I can tell people I've owned heaps of robots in the last 25 years.
