I haven't posted here in years, but I signed in to tell you how absolutely ridiculous your opinion is. ANYTHING can be used for evil. All of the vulnerability scanning tools are just as popular with criminals as they are IT professionals. Your opinion isn't just flat wrong; it's dangerous. It's the kind of clueless hysterical fear-mongering that you see when politicians say we need to ban encryption to stop crimes.
No dipshit his girlfriend was texting a person she thought was him. It turned out to be a 12-year old girl and her parents were (understandably) upset about the content of the messages.
We get this crap all day long at my office. It's so annoying, and I've come to find out that the Do-Not-Call list does NOT apply to businesses. Why the fuck not?!?!
So I just press 1 to get the person on the line and then place them on hold. Usually they hold for 5-15 minutes. I figure if I'm tying up their phone line, that is one less call they are bothering other people with.
But I already HAVE accurate metrics for all of that. This is just throwing everything off and wasting our resources.
This is from our logs from the day the product was released up to today when I banned it: 37 70 108 167 208 320 374 414 457 492 571 608 650 715 751 789 817 868 898 924 955
I think what bothered me the most about Network Solutions "protecting me" from domain tasters is that they were actually participating in the very behavior they were claiming to protect users from. Network Solutions are a bunch of assholes.
They actually fed me some wrong information on a domain the other day (they read back the right spelling but punched in the wrong spelling(on two separate phone calls)) leading me on a wild goose chase and wasting my entire day. So then I decided to transfer the domain to a competant registrar and they sent me an email saying that the domain was not eligible for transfer because of "fraudulent activity on the account."
Well, isn't the entire domain transfer process designed to protect against domain slamming already? And it works just fine if you ask me. Network Solutions are just trying to keep customers through whichever means necessary.
So instead of calling us and saying "Hey, we think someone is trying to steal your domain," they sent an automated email and then refused to respond to me (I sent 7 emails spanning two days and never got a single response). If they were truly concerned about fraud wouldn't they have picked up the phone to confirm the transfer rather than just blocking it outright?
Finally, the only way we were actually able to get the transfer to go through was by calling an Exec, whose number I found after some extensive research. What about the poor customers who can't find the magic "executive hotline?"
I reiterate my previous point; fuck Network Solutions. I will suggest to every client I have in the future to transfer their domains away from NS for their shady, shady business practices.
The real reason that files are put in RAR chunks is so that when they are being distributed across FTP "sites", multiple people can upload (race) the rip at the same time from multiple sources. Essentially, it allows for the stuff to be distributed faster.
What the hell does this word mean: "ecumenical"? I looked up a definition for it, having never heard it before and I'm still just as confused. Since you used it I assume you can probably explain it's usage in layman's terms better than m-w.
Probably because 99.95% uptime isn't very impressive of a figure. I can(and have) accomplished this on various machines over the years, none of which were even in a production environment.
Anyway, a windows server environment like you are describing is miles away from the type of ERP system that the OP is referring to. It's like comparing a Hummer to a A1 Tank.
I had an ATI WHQL driver bluescreen on me a couple times this week, why did Microsoft certify a driver with bugs in it? (the updated driver fixed the issue).
MS didn't release these whql drivers, but since they are slapping their name on it they are taking on a liability to ensure that these things actually work. Maybe they wont be sued for it, but certainly they want there customers to trust them?
Yes, but who cares? just crank up the difficulty and set your own limits(try playing all the way through saving only at the beginning of each map, for example). People that do speed runs are a good example, you have to become almost godlike at a game in order to do a good speed run, it's challenging and competitive.
I'm thinking about getting one for myself, set it up to loop one of my favorite movies over and over. I'll be the first person to receive a C&D from beyond the grave:-)

Set up a main house fileserver, make it SCSI and RAID. Then, setup a tftp/nfs server on it and use PXE to boot all of your clients from this main server. This way instead of having to do an OS install on each machine and worry about drives dying you have one server handling everything. It's easier to make backups this way too.
Plus the lack of a grinding hard drive is quite welcome.
What were downhillbattle THINKING when they released this stuff for Mac only???? I love Mac myself, but that's not enough to delude me into thinking that their target audience would be more than one fifth mac users, and that's a generous guess.

So, we're just going to keep doing this I guess?
Exactly

Thanks for jumping to conclusions though.
This "bug" almost got my buddy arrested. Apple needs to take this problem seriously before the courts do.

Funny, I just tried hibernating on my Vista laptop, it worked fine.
Too bad linux won't support half the hardware on this machine...

You have to pay a license to use mpeg2
This is why you cant play dvd's in WMP until you install a dvd decoder.

More like leaving your keys in the car while it sits in a locked garage.
Block 3rd party cookies and allow the rest and you should have nothing to worry about. Unless you enjoy the paranoia.

WTF?
Try using Gruv-glide to clean your records, it not only cleans but it removes static charge from your vinyl.
Well, because the man-in-the-middle is only going to intercept encrypted garbage.
