well, we can pretend that they never made The Hulk. After all, they're acting as if the original Punisher was never made with the coming release of The Punisher
This isn't funny, I work on campus tech support. It's move in week, and the 30 of us on staff are working 60+ hours this week. 8,000 or so computers are coming back, of those, we expect about 5,600 to be unpatched, and we expect that of those 5,600, that only 1,400 or so will be able to follow our documentation. That leaves us with 4,200 machines to patch, and clean before Monday (and here I sit on Slashdot)
Benchmarks are all too often slanted with the drivers they're done with or by the person performing the benchmark. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's completely unreliable, but people should be aware that it isn't infalliable.
Compatibility problems, like the lack of a cross platform Access. Here in the real world, we deal with more than just ourselves, we have vendors who get get our raw materials from, ect. We need to share information, and when we don't have standards, that becomes a large problem.
...but this is extremely unlikely. In the event that they pull MS's entrenched ass out of the corporate world, maybe. People would be a lot more willing to run it at home if they ran it at work. Furthermore if Linux holds 20% you're going to have compatibility problems up the wazoo(sp?) The reason everyone uses Microsoft products is because it works[sic] so well together.
No kidding. Speaking as a college student, I don't have money to pay my back balance for summer tuition, let alone pay for music. Especially when I'm paying for other people's bribes. If they don't want to get caught, quit sharing your music, and put up a firewall. Damn script kiddies are trojaning boxes and using them as remote servers all over on campus (here)
Is there the slightest chance you could be more of a conspiracy theorist? I hate to break this to you, but you aren't special. For "BigBrother" to keep tabs on everyone of your caliber, it would take man power roughtly the size of our countries population, get what I'm saying?
Last summer when I was at Cedar Point I was stranded on the top hill of a roller coaster for about two hours before being escorted down the stairs to the side of the first hill. The engine towing us up the first hill was siezed. I was really pissed off because I drove 1,200 miles for the roller coasters and spent a good chunk of my second of three days doing nothing, I mean, for the two hours, I could have almost made it completely throught the line of the Millenium Force!
They can prove it via the mac address. Right now my computer is sitting at my friends, and I have the one from my parents house with my NIC in it. I went out and bought some cds of the songs I downloaded, and I'm fighting with fair use. Weeeeee
I opted for buying a low end laptop (700mhz with 192 megs of ram and a 10 gig drive) and the whole power-house desktop. I just finished my first year off at school, and the laptop was indispensable (atleast for me) Taking notes on it was a big plus, I could organize them in a much better fashion after lecture. I'd just copy and paste them in the order that made the most sense to me. Then I'd get back to my dorm and synchronize the files.
Yeah, I had a VPN setup from work to home before, and it didn't always take kindly to the network address translation. Certian things wouldn't function, and I'm hoping that's fixed here. Also, we have a whole chunk of public addresses on campus. I could easily configure the pool to assign some of them, and not worry about the nat, but then there is always a chance that there will be an address conflict. As a former net admin before coming back to school, I can tell you that I don't take too kindly to rouge DHCP servers messing with my address block. (I had a user bring in a access point that was also a residential gateway. The nerve!)
I read the article and immediately got excited. I downloaded all of the software and had it all setup and working within a few minutes. As of right now I'm living in an apartment and have no practical use, but on Monday I'm moving into my dorm room to start my summer class (bleh!) Anyway, I think this is so wonderful! I've been thinking about a secure network computing solution for my three computers when I'm at school. I have my server, workstation, and my laptop that I'd like to tie all together. The leading choice was vpn, but after playing around with this, I do think that running on my server and having the three of them connect to it, and maybe a few of my friends computers on campus, we can create a very nice, effective, small, and secure lan. Then again, after five minutes I haven't decided if the whole reinventing of the wheel is worth it. I'll probably try it out, and setup a vpn server too, and see which I like more.
The one interesting concession is that corporate licensees of Microsoft Office can now use that suite on a home computer as well
Is that similar to the licensing (myth?) that someone once told me, where if you use a license of office so often at work, you can install it on your home computer without purchasing an additional license?
You gain a certain understanding for certain things when you're "at the wrong end of a telnet session" A lot of that knoweldge can be used for protecting against the same exploits. If they're writing viruses, maybe instead of having a definition file for each virus that has to constantly be updated, they could author some detection scheme that monitors for activity that is like a virus, or certain function within the code that can be stopped much simpler than the current methods

My name is up there! I'm screwed...
Is the absence of anything considered news these days?
I was a bigger fan of 1234-1234567, It worked with office, exchange, nt server... It's absolutely insane
Hey, let it go. You're beating a dead horse with that joke.
One of my friends has at work had a winning streak of 3,000 games. It's beyond that now, but that's really impressive!
war, war, war your boat....

I'll store a few away, I've got some space right here on my desk. Don't happen to have any new 3.0+ghz boxes that need to be 'stored'?
