"Wide-Aspect 15.4" UltraSharpTM WUXGA LCD, the largest available notebook display size and highest possible resolution offered by Dell" [emphasis mine]
It's the largest display you can get on a Dell notebook, not the largest display you can get on any notebook.
"Can you even get to a command line in the latest version of Windows?"
Yes, of course you can. In fact you can do more from the command line than you can from the GUI these days.
"Is Perl included?"
No, but it comes with the resource kit.
"Can you easily write your own scripts?"
Yes. We use scripts for many day to day activities here. They're very powerful. VBScript is most common, but you can use several other languages if you like.
I have one of these, and it's been great so far. Lots of room for my HUGE Thinkpad A21m, and room to spare for my digicam bag, CD case, and a bunch of other misc. crap. It doesn't look too much like a laptop bag, so it doesn't catch the eye of thieves, and it's even comfy too!
I found it for about $50 Canadian at FutureShop (after rebate).
There is one way to get the density up to 4CPU per 1U of rack space. With one of these, and 14 of these, you can get 28 Xeon CPUs in 7U of space. That works out to 4CPUs per 1U.
However, there is no quad CPU 1U server made by IBM.
Yes, the "unnecessary services turned on by default" thing was bad, but MS has in fact already changed their ways on that one. In Windows 2003, very little is turned on by default. I'm sure they'll follow this trend with Longhorn (the next windows client OS). You need admin rights to start and stop services too, so on a properly configured system, that's not an issue.
Sure, MS has had a very shaky history in terms of security, but they really are getting better.
"My favorite example of this is Nexium. I saw an advertisement for this product, and the sum total of the information I got from the ad is that it is a little purple pill that I should ask my doctor about. They never bothered to mention what the product is or what it does."
There's a good reason for that. Apparently the law says that if they tell you what the drug does, they have to list all the side effects. If they just say "ask your doctor", they don't have to list the hundreds of nasty things the drug will cause (oily discharge, anal bleeding, etc.)
Unfortunately, they end up getting a bunch of men calling their doctors asking about a drug for mentrual cramps, or women asking about a drug for erectile dysfunction...
So said orbiting craft would accelerate and decelerate at each end of the trip instantaneously? I'd hate to be on the housekeeping crew. It'd be very messy in the cabin...
It seems you're correct. In 2000, it logs the logon event, but not the source IP address. How dumb is that? At least they fixed it in 2003.
I have to agree with you about the quality of the MS newsgroups. If you want good support, you pretty much need an enterprise support agreement (which, luckily enough, we have).
If you have your audit logging setup correctly (default settings on Win2003), it's logged in the security event log. I just tested on my server... here's the result.
In case anyone out there doesn't know what patent 821,393 is for, it was filed March 23, 1903, and it was granted on May 22, 1906 to O. & W. Wright. I'm sure you can figure out now what the device in question is...
Sounds kind of like Kitchener, Ontario. All directions are based on where grocery stores formerly were. I'm not sure why it's specifically grocery stores... but that's the way it is. Very strange.
My girlfriend does the same work I do. I have more experience, but she has more education, so that kind of balances out. I'm 6'6", and she's 5'4". She makes more money than me. So much for that theory...
Not that I have a problem with that. I kind of like the idea of having a "sugar-momma".:-)
However, RAID1 combined with something like this would be fairly adequate for home use (assuming you have a 2003 server kicking around of course). It doesn't handle the power spike issue, but it takes care of accidental deletions.
I keep all my important data on my server, and run backups to an extra drive on my desktop machine once a week. It's not important enough to do offsite storage, but it would be a pain in the ass to redownload all that pr0... er... data.
Just tried Irfanview again, since it's been a couple of years since I last looked at it. Wow, what an improvement. The batch processing alone is worth the cost of entry ($0, I think I can swing that!).
I think I'll keep ACDSee Classic (2.43) around for viewing images, because it's hella fast, but Irfanview will handle 99% of my photo editing tasks from now on (99% = resizing and rotating, 1% = red eye removal). Thanks for the tip!
First, TweakUI isn't third party. It's part of Microsoft's "PowerToys" package that you can download from their website.
Second, yes, of course there's another way to disable autorun (a few ways even). TweakUI just gives you a pretty GUI to do it from, along with many other tweaks.
Admittedly, not a very big group, but it's growing fast. I'm fairly sure there are some german cars using it now too, but I can't be bothered to look them up.
She's a regular user, and she doesn't (and can't) install software on her own. I either do it for her when I'm there, or I connect through remote assistance and do it that way.
Do you honestly believe that if one of these so called Joe Users decided to run Linux instead, that he wouldn't log on as root at all times? Really?
It's very simple. Put a Joe User in charge of a computer, that computer will have vulnerabilities. It doesn't really matter what OS he's running.
At least with XP, it's getting much better. Auto updates for security patches are great for that type of user. Also, the firewall is enabled by default if you answer the setup wizard questions correctly (ie. "are you connected directly to the internet, or do you have a home network?" if you choose directly, firewall is on).
I feel much safer having my mom using an XP box that I configured. I know it's always up to date on both critical updates and virus signatures, and she uses yahoo mail exclusively, which stops most email viruses before she even sees them. Guess what? Not a single issue with that computer in 2 years.

Got a model number? None of the 1U servers currently sold by IBM support any more than 2 CPUs.

That commercial pisses me off, since you can't dial that number by dialing down the center. "1" isn't in the center. Dumbasses.

I know it doesn't follow the theme of this thread, but my favourite quote is one of Stewie's:

It's all there, using native tools.

Well, I'm a 6'6" white guy, and my girlfriend is 5'4" and chinese. Somehow though, we make it work. No need for an upgrade. :-)

Are you not worried about this?
Car Support to be Discontinued, 01-May-2003.
Great for you that your device now has Ogg support, but I don't think I'd buy a new one (or a used one from ebay) if the support is discontinued.
Article about electric assisted steering.
Some examples of cars with electric steering:
Acura NSX
Honda S2000
Honda Insight
Saturn Vue
Saturn Ion
2004 Chevy Malibu
Admittedly, not a very big group, but it's growing fast. I'm fairly sure there are some german cars using it now too, but I can't be bothered to look them up.
The free trillian client has also been patched with the new protocol. The version you want is 0.74E. Works a treat.

The key word in the second sentence is "overt". I think they separated the stats for overt and covert attacks, for some reason.
Still, very confusingly written article, some kind of chart would make it much clearer.
