"The question is how do you connect to the device "before, during, and after OS configuration."
You answer with "Clearly Windows is not Enterprise-ready and then karma whore by bashing "M$".
What part of before the OS didn't you understand? Pre OS is a hardware requirement and one that you'll find off the shelf with any real server manufacturers - e.g. Compaq Remote Insight.
make great ones: loads in stock, or if you have a weird keyboard, send them one you don't need back (they don't work after high temp forming!) and they'll vacuum-form you some to fit. cheap, too.

This isn't funny. It's sad. Deeply predictable, and very very sad indeed. This single post summarises what's crap about slashdot over the last couple of years. Pointless point scoring over content, intelligent discussion and debate. Fuck off.
i'm in the UK and our only satellite provider is SKY. SKY can provide a tivo-lite service called SKY+, but it's not that great. What I really want to do is get a satellite card for my PC, put my SKY viewing card in it, and watch their channels. As far as I know the SKY architecture's closed though and you can't do it via a card. Anyone know any different? Plugging video-out into a capture card on my PVR and using an IR blaster to change channels would appear to suck heavily...
eye strain's caused by lots of things - in my case it was usually the high voltage charge on a 21" CRT screen surface firing dust particles into my eyes 8 hours a day, drying out my contacts and making me feel like i'd got low-grade flu 5 days a week. swapped to an LCD and no problems since...
seriously, i'd kind of forgotten all of this - strange how quickly cassette tapes have faded from my consciousness...!
XLII! luxury! when i were a lad we had to make do with TDK AD90s. AND we liked it...
in the pharma world, FDA-regulation and GxP has led to a number of methodologies for formally validating IT projects - the stuff I work on is detailed down to Little Rubber Feet level - including firmware revision numbers...!
Horrible to work in if you're used to improvising projects, but essential if you're going to have 1005 reproducability and a bulletproof project.
Users come up with a formal User Requirement Spec which they sign off, IT comes up with a Functional Requirement Spec and a Technical Requirement Spec, and then formally maps using a traceability matrix everything the customer's asked for against those documents - so nothing can be left out, and the users can't say they've not got precisely what they've asked for...
if you build a storage box (NAS, USB, Firewire, whatever), why not put it in a larger box, like a small ATX case? if the fans fail, it's not going to cook anything. The only reason the OP had the failure is he was using a drive in a small case that didn't allow heat dissapation...
(claps) like your style, my friend.
we'll agree to differ on the elegance of dvdshrink, though - i think it's great, and if it was on linux you'd all love it too.
elegant? it's a single app that'll decode, rip, selectively compress to a level you decide, reauthor and recompile. it's very quick, it's full of features, it's free, and my mother could use it...
fuck off.
i've personally built about 25 shuttle systems, of various specs and models. you name it, i've put it in a shuttle, tested it to death and sold it to someone - and you'll be *fine* with multiple hard disks and a decent graphics card.
oh, and it's 250W on the G2 models, fitted by shuttle with the second generation silent PSUs.
now who doesn't know what he's talking about?
bollocks. you're talking crap: also, you can only fit 2 hard disks in a shuttle. the 250W PSU is 250 REAL watts, rather than the 350W generic PSUs that put out nothing like their rated power.
that as an individual, rather than a mammoth corporation that can get huge discounts, I can get an 80GB hard disk for around 35UKP, and a 160GB one for around 45UKP. i can't even buy anything as small as a 40GB one anymore - so surely apple could have been just a little less cheap with the drives?
you can barely see it, even using the special T@2 CD-Rs that the drives come with. no chance with any normal media. top drives though, even come with 1x constant angular velocity CD-audio mastering mode...
Slashdot Mirror
isn't it?
Can you tell me more about this thing called sarcasm? I have never heard of it, nor has it ever been reported on slashdot.
i like the idea of a pen phone where you dial a number by writing it down though - good for SMS messages, too...

Q: "How can I remotely admin my enterprise servers more easily in the field?"
A: "Buy a Mac!"P? Only on slashdot. Jesus.
can we all copy and paste this? store it away. whenever we get the 12 year old "windose $uckors!" kid, paste it. repeatedly.

because it'd cost more and no-one'd notice the improvement? seriously, at this level you're pretty much into the science of kiddology...
is that the apple-struder model with the dolby cinnamon sprinkles?
Studer!

i'll just continue to rent them from blockbusters and use http://www.dvdshrink.org/ to rip, copy and burn them.

you can get *very quiet* though, but there's no such thing as a silent hard disk. flash ram, maybe, but that's far too dumb to get into.
