at least 2 weeks. In fact, IIRC, it will be 2 weeks before it is available for software update services users (MS's first crack at an internal windows update setup for corp users that works pretty well), and again IIRC, that windows update will occur after that
One thing I have noticed is that ibm and hp have 1 opteron cpu boxes with no redundant power supplies, and then 4 cpu boxes with 32 ram slots, 2 PSUs that cost 12k without ram or HDD. Neither of them is selling a fairly normal dual cpu box that is 2U high - they are either web servers or computational nodes for clusters, or big honking 4 way boxes.
On many systems you cannot do a *.* or * (depending on your OS preference) for a full system backup due to open files (think databases) and expect consistency. Due to the binary windows registry, among other such creations, you cannot expect to be able to copy it from a live box. There are tools and APIs to do so - windows own backup app, etc.

i think it bespeaks of glaring problems with us antitrust enforcement: creative buys out darn near any money making home user/gamer sound card company, and symantec (who already own ghost) is able to buy powerquest, maker of the other big package for companies to image windows OS running workstations for deployment.
Yeah, i have not had any trouble with it at home or work.
home: xp pro license obtained thru a ms marketing package that cost my 39.99. i had it installed on a via based athlon mobo, i just having decommissioned that box, installed it on a sis based p4 mobo. activated cleanly.
work: no issues with machines that have been reimaged. we run the oem xp pro license, cuz software assurance for the client pcs was going to kick our brains in.
Yeah, i think this type of case is something washington can wrap their heads around. As it is, the law already takes a dim view of requiring you to use only manufacturor approved parts (i.e., scaring you from not using crucial ram), or service (cars, etc)
Cheap tape systems are a lifetime of agony. I'd recommend a used DLT drive over a new 8mm/DAT/DDS drive. DLT just *works*. When it needs cleaning, it tells you via a LED, not mysterious backup job failures, etc
basically, the theory is that if the heads are slightly off, the drive may still work fine, but the data is written slightly off as well, such that traces of the data exist due to slight magnetic remnants. this theory thus is that drives must be destroyed to be secure.
most high security orgs feel the same way - IIRC, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police put out a doc for.ca govt usage, and they came up with allowing any non classified PC to be recycled. But they also laid out destruction requirements (how small the remaining debris must be) for classified and higher pcs.
An out of the box Snort install seems to throw *tons* of ICMP alerts, so it is not surprising to hear that a marginally competent IT dept would do bizarre things based on ICMP patterns
I have a tough time believing this - when you are paying for hosting, paying for dead boxen will eventually add up. I tend to think, that if google is as smart as we think they are, they have a rack monitoring system that could establish at what point they should have a tech visit the hosting facility - i.e, 3 boxes dead costs them X a month, etc.
ESPN is apparently physically building out their addon HDTV studio to their complex in CT. When it is done, sportscenter HD and more content is supposed to follow. As it is, their schedule has gotten much better as of the start of the year - now they have almost 1 hd game a night, whereas last fall it was that football HD drama show, and one or two college games a week.
Intel has generally been on their (*%*$list for not providing technical documents. I would tend to expect that they had to completely figure this out of their own
apple ought to get 40% of the revenue? why, pray tell? they have absolutely no risk, and no effort other than providing more hard drive space on their itunes servers. once a label is configured to send them digitized songs, it should not make a difference (other than in bandwidth or hard drive space) for apple to digitally receive the files to host, and try to sell. the labels and the artists are the ones with dynamic costs here, and all the risk.
the labels have absolutely no need to listen to apple at all. period. the labels can say screw, and then apple is on their own with their cute little device. it is in the label's interest to have what is currently happening, happen = every one and their mother is paying license fees to sell music online.
your post makes it sound like apple has any strength whatsoever in their contracts = they have NONE. afaik, they can still only legally sell music in the US (or at least not in asia).
you can deny anyone access to a lot of things - execute, write, del, etc. If you want to avoid the overhead of restamping every file and folder's ACL, then set up the permissions to inherit, and use groups from the start. Then, to deny bob rights, add bob to the deny group. If the deny group is already denied all access, then no acl changes will occur
Everything downloaded from P2P is unknown, unless you have a hash to compare it with. I don't think you can go after people based on the name of the file - *&$^&##unreal2004(*$*($*($.exe
could be anything - an exe, a self extracting archive that contains anything, etc.
On 9/11 on NYC, the mobitex network that 95x series blackberries ran on was fine, all cell towers were maxed out. Of course, everyone is migrating to cell based blackberry phone/pager units.
we did it for our exchange, windows servers and cals. I correctly bet on windows and exchange 2003 coming out in the cycle. office and client os licenses would have cost us a ton. sure enough, we are currently refreshing our desktops, and just buying em with xp oem licenses. we will stick with office 2k, go with outlook 2k3 for its anti spam/ and anti html mail features.
the big question is to renew the SA on the exchange and server stuff. probably not, with longhorn so so far away

How do you think you restore a windows backup folder without running windows backup from a running windows install?

some of the very high end nvidia cards offer dual dvi. i don't think any non flight sim games support dual head though
in infected/rooted/wormed client pcs with lots of bandwidth.
great.
ostiguy saw some 3000+ intrusion detection system alerts from skorea over the past 36 hours

sure it does. xp and 2003 remote desktop/ts support 16 bit color. i believe for ts in win2k, if you want > 256 colors, you need to buy citrix.
i only use it for remote admin mode, not application mode, but i am 99.99% certain of this
fwiw, i think hockey in 1080i (bruins on nesn)looks much better than 720p (abc/espn)

i don't necessarily advocate upgrading licenses, but if you are getting oem licenses on the boxes, xp pro over 2k anyday
