    Some sex crust is so bad it's inedible too.

    If you allow SSH access from the wide internet and you allow passwords, you are probably still vulnerable.

    Really, just use SSH with private/public keys and you'll be okay.

    Aren't private/public keys just long passwords?

  3. Re:End justifies the means on Did the Netbook Improve Windows 7's Performance? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I seem to remember something called Cairo that was making news back in the mid-90s, which had a feature list similar to what we now know as Time Machine - on OS X. MS still hasn't come up with such a functionality.

    I see you are unfamiliar with the "Previous Versions Client" or "Volume Shadow Copy". The technology was first introduced with the release of Windows XP, released in October, 2001.

    Apple's Time Machine was released in October, 2007, six years later. Obviously Microsoft used H. G. Wells' Time Machine to steal Apple's Time Machine.

    Name a large city where people in the nearby area don't refer to it as "the city".

    Philadelphia. If you're going somewhere in Philadelphia you refer to where you're going (i.e. Kensington for drugs, center city for tourism, south philly for cheesesteaks, etc.). "The City" is New York City.

    Just because you don't like anime doesn't mean everyone who does enjoy it is dumb.

    Of course the reality is that just about everyone could get hit by a bus and within 2 months their names will be forgotten and the company will be just fine.

    Tell that to Terry Childs.

    Wait, Red Hat... that's Linux, right? Which side am I supposed to be on again?

    Most in person conversations aren't digitally recorded and kept until the end of time.

    Sure they are. They have to be, since not all calls go through that AT&T box.

    Moonlight doesn't support Silverlight 2.0-targeted code.

    Either does Silverlight 1.0. Early versions of Flash don't support YouTube-style videos. What's your point?

    So, this is gate-gate? Or Gates-gate?

    Even more distressing is the number of 'live' acts where everything is prerecorded except for the vocals.

    They have pop or hip-hop concerts where the vocals aren't pre-recorded?

    The film ends in Triumph as he founds Commodore and wins over Bill Shatner (played by Bill Shatner of course) to be his spokesperson.

    That won't work, Bill Shatner looks too young for that part. Too much hair too.

    You know, I've often thought that "newspaper editor" should be an elected position.

    It is an elected position... elected by the newspaper owner.

  21. Re:whats it give us? on Windows Server 2008 One Year On — Hit Or Miss? · · Score: 1

    I've had the opposite experience. The (WDS) deployment process makes a lot more sense to me than RIS, the network stack improvements will be worthwhile once Vista/7 gets broad client deployment (see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/App_Networking/extmsftw2k8vistacisco.pdf for Cisco's take). Shoot, the TS Gateway alone is worth the cost of admission if you're a Windows shop and have users who need to access their desktops. Multi-site clustering is interesting too, although we're not using clustering now.

    I like Server 2008 so much I run it on my laptop. (MSDN subscription makes the licensing cost irrelevant for me.)

    It's probably not worth it to upgrade all your boxes from 2003 to 2008, but for new server deployments in a Windows shop, I'd recommend it.
