  1. Re:Upgrading must be for a reason on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 1

    SMB 2.0 is a big improvement on mid- and high-latency connections. The new WIM-based install method is easier to manage and maintain once you're used to the new tools.

  2. Re:last sentence on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that because Wine will suck less by then, or because Vista will suck more than it does now?

  3. Re:Not free but pretty cheap on Suggestions For Cheap Metrics Eye Candy Software? · · Score: 1

    What's Up Gold is fine for small networks, but it falls over at about 3000 monitors. They open a connection for each monitor rather than one connection per machine, so it's easy to run out of tcp ports.

    They probably discussed it on the telephone. He'll have access to it.

    There, fixed that for you.

  10. Re:Typical FUD against Microsoft on Windows 7 Benchmarks Show Little Improvement On Vista · · Score: 1

    And when did Microsoft claim otherwise? The whole point of Windows 7 has been that its built on the Vista SP1 (Server 2008) codebase and they are NOT trying to change too much.

    Especially when you consider that the server product will be named "Server 2008 R2". Added features, few major changes.

  14. Re:Don't panic, but... on The Real Story On WPA's Flaw · · Score: 1

    We need to stop trying to concoct schemes that are specific to wifi and just treat all media as untrusted.

    There, fixed that for you. What makes you think wired networking is secure?

    They have that. It's called "black spray paint".

    I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the particle involved in this case is not dark matter.

    No... No... That's not true... that particle's impossible!
