Doesn't Forefront also require you have a Windows Server 2003 or later with Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 server and System Center Configuration Manager 2007? That'd end up being $$$$
What does a Premium Support contract cost? I browsed the Oracle website for a bit but didn't see anything other than a phone number to call. Is it one of those "if you have to ask you can't afford it deals"?
Umm, reliability and convenience. If you smoke a harddisk holding your data, you can still boot the OS and have access to all your tools, networking, etc.. and can easily restore your data drives.
Also, with the OS and programs, any limited number of write to the device is a non-issue.
The Atlantic Monthly had an article last month about this, and what I got out of it was that the Chinese government doesn't have to block everything, just make it inconvenient enough so that most citizens don't bother and instead stick with the in-country sites. It was a pretty decent article for a non-techie publication.
Agreed. I've got 256MB slice running Apache, Django, PostgreSQL, Exim quite nicely. It's a Xen setup, my particular machine is an Ubuntu Gutsy server, was awfully easy and quick to setup. Lots of clear tutorials for getting your VM tuned up for firewalling and so on - I found those especially handy since I'm more of a FreeBSD guy and wasn't up on some of the Linux-isms.
DiskCompare.com is a good place to check out how these drives rate in terms of value. The Caviar GP WD10EACS is currently at 4.35 GB/$ (newegg prices), the sweet spot though for the Caviar GP Family (and for most other brands too) is the 750GB size, with the WD7500AACS coming in at 5.35 GB/$
I've upgraded a couple Windows machine from 1.0.7 to 1.5, and it seems the display changed a bit so the fonts look quite harsh - jaggy and so on, in the folder tree and message listings.
I wonder what changed, and if there's a way to change the font for things other than the message display.
Is Roland actually submitting this stuff to Slashdot? Or are the illustrious Slashdot editors merely mining Roland's excellent site for material to fill whatever story quotas they have?
Either way, I make a point of checking Roland's site regularly because he manages to have a posting every day that's usually interesting.
The same thing could be done much more easily now with absentee ballots. "You better register for an absentee ballot and bring it to the shop/church/nursing-home/whatever so your boss/pastor/spouse/doctor/parent can make sure you vote correctly".
I think going to a polling place to vote, where you can vote without anyone's interference, should be pretty much required - and the absentee thing should just be for really unusual circumstances, and not at all encouraged without a good reason.
Yeah, after Kirk dies in Generations he ends up in hell and his punishment is to quantum-leap into the final days of every Enteprise security office that every got toasted because of where the captain sent him.
I've often though a maximum wage, tied to the minimum wage, as some kind of multiplier would be a a good idea.
Say for example, the max you can earn a year is defined as 500x whatever a minimum wage earner gets, assuming 50 weeks at 40 hours a week. So at a current minimum of $5.15/hr, the max would be 5.15 million per year.
If CEOs want more than that, then they'd better get working on raising the minimum wage. That'd be a good incentive to improve everybody's lot, and not just line their own pockets.
If you select multiple songs (using the shift or control keys), and right-click on your mass selection, you can hit "Get Info" from the popup menu, which brings you to a special dialog just for mass-editing of tags. Does exactly what you're looking for.
Geezus christ! if rebate processing is so complicated for companies to handle, where they worry about abuse and who writes the checks - then DON'T OFFER THE DAMN THINGS!
The way I read the previous post is more like: jerking customers around is hard work..feel sorry for us:P
(noting personal wo1verin3, I just really hate rebates)
IBM 3270 mainframe terminals had a SysReq key, I'm sure that for emulation purposes it was awfully handy for IBM to add that to the keyboard when they introduced the PC/AT.
If you wanted to track cars, It'd be even easier to just put the RFID chip in the license plate itself - which you are not allowed to swap freely like you can do with tires.
Yeah, but one university, however big it is, is still relatively small potatoes when it comes to the internet as a whole - and it's not surprising that you'd have to go around and install your own CA certs
My point was that ALL the educational institutions, banded together with someone acting as a responsible CA, would be a significant enough number of machines and servers that Microsoft / Netscape / whoever-else could be induced to include that Root CA in all default installs, alongside Verisign, Thawte and so on. So you wouldn't have to run around and tweak each machine.
Since I work at a university, I always thought it would make sense for EDUCAUSE or whoever it is that administers the.edu domain to be a CA for machines within that realm.
Kind of silly to be wasting limited money on commercial certs, when it should be possible for educational institutions to work something out between themselves.
The same should apply to.GOV domains, or similar groupings in other countries.
If a legislature doesn't give people what they want regarding privacy, they can still call for a referendum - sure worked this summer in North Dakota. From the New York Times, June 13, 2002:
North Dakota voters overwhelmingly approve statewide referendum requiring banks and credit unions to obtain customers' permission before selling their personal data; outcome is lauded by privacy advocates, who say it will send message nationwide; 72 percent of those casting ballots favored tightening of privacy law; referendum is first giving voters chance to take stand on 1999 federal banking law that adopted national 'opt out' standard but permitted states to impose more stringent privacy protections; privacy advocates and banking industry officials comment
The banks put out all kinds of advertising claiming that stricter laws would cost jobs, be terrible for the state's economy, blah blah blah. People didn't buy it for a second.
IANAA but I think there are tax-advantages to keeping the money - if they paid it out as dividends to the stockholders, then they'd have to pay taxes, while if they hang onto the money and just let the stock value rise - that's an unrealized gain that you don't have to do anything about until you actually sell your shares. Or it could be I have no idea what I'm talking about:)
Yeah, that's my baby: Q2Java - the main thing to note though it that it's just the game logic that's implemented in Java, nothing with the rendering or networking (not to say that that wouldn't be possible given how fast machines are nowdays).
Look at the top-right screenshot, the lower half of the screen appears to be a palm-style pen input area, with an icon to switch to a keyboard input (as shown being used in the bottom-left screenshot with the terminal window).

Tom's Hardware has tackled this too. Just mentioning it for the sake of completeness.

How long before "Nano" gets renamed because of another electronic processing device.

I wonder why the US Capitol building and related office buildings in D.C are blurred out? Other things like the White House and the Pentagon aren't.
