In the voice of James Earl Jones...
In a world where Google cars could remove the death and danger of traffic in society, should we seriously consider the interests of lawyers who want to make us concerned about changes that could make the world a significantly safer place?
For fucks sake just work it out. Human driven traffic kills people. Google cars don't. Set up some insurance or something.
So you believe it was OK to stand and hold a gun to someone on your porch? Is this the result of being taught responsibility with a gun? Perhaps there is something wrong with your community where you believe this is an appropriate response to a stranger on your property asking for water?
I really don't understand your actions. Can you explain? Are strangers really so dangerous in your part of the world?
I work for one of these service providers. Reliance on IT outsourcing is pretty common these days for major companies. Even technology based companies. I feel in many cases that paradoxically, it is a way for the companies to get back in control of their IT which may otherwise have become a self-serving money-eating monster.
Incidentally I would think a large percentage of slashdot readers are in outsourcing.
A. No local servers. Poor service. Censored invisibly. Failing market share.
B. Local servers. Better service. Censored visibly. Improving market share.
I don't really know why I'm bothering replying to you but...
1. Pulling someone's whinging blog comment is not why HP has fallen.. (etc)
2. Go and read the comments, They were posted in a forum where they could not be dealt with and they were unconstructively negative from a known HP basher.
3. If this (i.e. HP re-instated the post) makes you decide to go to another company, then I'm glad you don't make any of my business sending decisions.
It seems like a decent feature set. A sort of scheduled mirroring of volumes over a LAN, utilising the Shadow Volume copying. An agent runs on the source server and logs the data changes. At scheduled times this agent transfers the accumulated changes to the DPM server.
The server can produce snapshots etc and there seems to be some tie in to standard file save/open dialogs so users can access previous versions.

I can't see any justification in your statement that 'the forums as a support mechanism is pretty weak.'
One of the main points of forums is that it is a repository of responses. It doesn't mean a forum is bad because no-one online knows the answer. Do a search!
But then you did and you found an answer and a script to run to fix your problem all within two hours and you are complaining? Have you any idea how much commercial support with such a short fix time costs?

Spoken by someone who doesn't spend a significant percentage of their day fixing luser's messes.
If you take away admin rights first then you don't have to come back, fix the PC and then take away admin rights. Less waste of company resources.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe they want to ADD a backdoor?
This is the exact equivalent of a bomb joke when on a plane. This guy is an idiot. Did he think his tweets were private?

I know which I think is better.
It was a duplicate article from Saturday. I assume they realised belatedly and pulled it.

Disk manufacturers will love it :-)

72.6% of quoted statistics are made up.

Like so much journalism these days, this was written merely to cause a reaction. If this article had been a /. post, it would have been modded a troll.
