I'll pick here to reply since most of you people have no clue what you're talking about... Yes, lots of games use BitTorrent to transmit updates, etc.
They're not sending everyone to the cops who is using BitTorrent. They're sending people to the cops based on DMCA takedown notices. These notices give the date, time, "infringing file", IP address, port, and hash of the "infringing file". They're using this information to identify the person and send them on.
No, I don't agree with what they're doing, but at least know what the hell you're talking about before you start bitching about "legal" p2p usage getting reported.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Shibboleth. Shib is pretty popular in the higher-ed space. There is a bit of a learning curve when first playing around with it, but once you get it up and going, it's very powerful. It does more than just your average SSO by providing federated authentication across organizations while maintaining user security.

How can I trust that that push-button ignition will still shut off the car? I know it's conceivable that even a key-start ignition might turn all ignition control over to an ECM, but who's done that?
Saturn and GM did, somewhat. I have a 2006 Saturn ION and you turn the key to the start position and it "automatically" cranks the engine from there.
I hadn't completely shut my door one night and the dome light nearly drained the battery. I turned the key to start and let it go just like normal. The "computer" kept cranking the engine until the car started.
The lower-cost automated ones don't care. It's all handled by software; at no point in the process (on the CA side) is a human involved.
And I'm betting that if the browsers aren't catching it, neither are the CAs.
I don't really have a comment on which software to use for Small Office Backups, but we use CommVault QiNetix and we are very happy with it. But, we use a fibre attached SpectaLogic T50 which is way overkill for a small office setup.
One of the questions you need to answer is this:
Will you be doing backups for disaster recovery? Meaning, you won't really worry about keeping data for long periods of time as long as you have a good backup for a month or so?
Or will you be doing backups for file restoration? Will you be needing to always recover that MS Excel document that Sally from accounting deleted 6 months ago?
Once you have that question answered, search for a backup software that fits your needs. You may look into CommVault, i'm not sure how it's priced for the regular consumer market (we're a.edu).
Well, I hoped that he would use the information I gave him and adapt it for his needs. You can't expect me to do everything for him, can you? If the rendering manager is spawning 3DSM, why can't it spawn a batch file which spawns 3DSM in low priority mode instead?
Executive Summary:
It turns out there are several solutions to this problem. A simple approach is to use the start command to launch each job with Low priority as follows:
start/low/b job5.exe -i input.dat
I'm interested to see if software companies who license their software by CPU will continue to define a "CPU" as a physical socket, or a core. Right now Microsoft and VMWare (and lots of others) define a CPU as a physical socket, not a core. So a dual core processor only counts as one CPU for licensing purposes.
It will suck if they start realizing how much more money they could be making by defining a core as a CPU for licensing...
Finally, the chip can go across the front side bus and access the main system memory, which is very large compared to the L2 and L1 caches, but much slower in terms of number of cycles to access.
That's the good thing about AMD processors. They don't have to go across the FSB to get at the RAM
I've just started to take a look at Fedora Directory Server. It is very easy to set up and with the GUI manager, it seems about as easy to manage as Microsoft AD.
Basically, if you know what's wrong, and the product is under warranty, you can go to a web page and order the part you need.
No need to wait on hold for 30mins just to re-troubleshoot the problem with somebody reading from a script when you know that your hard drive is dead.
If you want to get professional, there's the parent company to MPIX: Millers Professional Imaging .
Now, you have to jump through certain hoops like submitting your work to them so that they can see if it's good enough to be printed there, but it's still the best service out there if you can afford them.
From the time I was 16, I always had a job working ISP tech support. Yes, it sucks, but at times it can be lots of fun. It should also pay slightly better than McDonald's or any other greasy fast food joint.
If you are compelled to answer yes, then your best bet is to leave as cordially as possible, but explain to any other interviewer, if necessary, that you left to pursue an advancement of your career and your supervisor resented it.
If he's just putting down that he worked at this place for a certain period of time in his 'job history' section of his resume, his new employer cannot call and ask them for a reference. Any HR person will know that. All his current employer can do is verify that yes, he did work there for that period of time -- that's it.
Now, if he put his boss down as a reference, (which, as it seems, would be a stupid idea) then his boss could put his (albeit crazy) $0.02US in.
So, even if he does end up having to quit before his notice is up, he'll be perfectly find and come out smelling like a rose.

Don't rush out and buy that iProduct just yet.. Just remember that correlation does not imply causation.

How can you make the case that your guest OS is secure if the host is found to be insecure?

Ah, so my elite googling skills DID save the day!
I googled windows priority command line and the 6th result was titled: "smallbusiness.itworld.com - Windows Tip: Launching a low priority ..."
/low /b job5.exe -i input.dat

That's interesting.. I just took a quick break from coding InfoBASIC (on PI/Open).. All of its code has to be upper case too.
... you guessed it ... upper case
PI/Open has something similar to UniQuery, it's called INFORM and it's in

Most flash memory i've seen (such as the USB keychain drives), have a rated maximum writes before the memory starts having problems.
Am I missing something here? How are they going to overcome this if they plan on using the same type of memory for disk cache?
Finally, the chip can go across the front side bus and access the main system memory, which is very large compared to the L2 and L1 caches, but much slower in terms of number of cycles to access.

That doesn't necessarily mean that they regression tested the patch as microsoft would; that just means they created a patch and got it out faster.
I'm sure it didn't take microsoft very long to create the patch, but lots of manhours to test it -- whatever that's worth.
2560x2048 spread across 2 monitors? I hope he means 2560 x 1024 .. Otherwise that'd be one helluva 17" LCD monitor!

What you're forgetting is that the "script kiddies" mentioned probably read slashdot too :)

So, would this change the "Libraries Of Congress" measurement? I'd hate to see everything need re-programming that contains that universal constant.
