Ya they just pull that order of magnitude higher mean time between failure out of their ass to take your money. There is a difference between the requirements for an 'enterprise' drive and the disk you put in grandma's desktop.
No I'm saying that simply going to IPv6 doesn't mean that everything in the world will be (or should be) freely available to everyone else. Yes, you no longer have to set up PAT, but you're still going to have to set up firewall rules; your administrative overhead hasn't really changed. You might not have a little Linksys doing NAT with IPv6 (though as I understand it you can) but unless you are a complete idiot, you are going to have a firewall.
There is nothing technologically wrong with port forwarding and yes every application that is to be used over the Internet should be able to operate behind either a NAT device or a Proxy because the developer never knows when it will be. Many ISP's already proxy their customers for cacheing purposes, most of those users never know that. Applications had better be able to handle that situation. I would consider an application in this day and age that can not handle being behind a NAT/PAT device or a proxy to be fundamentally broken.
IP was also supposed to work in an environment where you trusted everyone else. In the real world there will be at least one firewall between you and the rest of the world so you're not really cutting down on any administrative overhead.
There is nothing inherently wrong with port forwarding, it's not that much different then proxying. The problems that pop up are because of applications that are still being written like they are running on one big network where everyone is nice and trusts each other.
We upped the temperature in our small data center to 75~80. Those systems in there run just fine at around (and a little higher then) room temperature. I didn't really see any need to keep it running like a refrigerator for no reason. The AC runs less, there must have been some money saved, but it is more comfortable in there the few times I have to do something there.
Yes that's it. What has happened in a few school districts in the past few years as affected the education of people that have been out of school for 20-30 years. It has nothing to do with the general distain for education or higher learning that has existed for god knows how long. It has nothing to do with the glorification of sports and the deification of its practicers. It has nothing to do with a culture that works very hard to create the image of the 'nerd' as something to be shunned as opposed to the 'pimp' the 'hoe' and the 'playa' that everyone should try to be.
We've only ever found Sun to be a few hundred more then IBM or HP when it was more expensive. The benefit being a Sun reseller actually returned our calls, HP didn't and IBM gave us a run around.
One of the things that let TNG be fun to watch and have good stories was the fact there was ~20 years between TOS being canceled and TNG starting. There were no writers that were stuck in a Star Trek mindset, there was time for writers to have new experiences. On the other hand, you had TNG, DS9 and Voyager all slamed together to the point that the writing ended up all the same and, especially with Voyager, they just did the same stories that had come before.
Let Star Trek rest. If it ever comes back, and there really is no law saying it has to, let it come back in 10 or more years.
There is more money in servers then there is clients, and it's an area that MS could still grow in. In this area Linux companies and traditional UNIX are competitors to MS whereas Apple is most decidedly not.
I would have to say that removable disk caddies would be more low tech, less error prone, simpler, and safer to both the drive and the drives warranty.
Show me how to make or point me in the right direction to making a big red ABORT button for my computers and that's a project I can get behind.
Actually I would expect most enterprises to never upgrade and instead replace hardware. Windows 7 will be deployed when they buy new desktops to replace the existing XP/Vista ones.
I've never understood why there isn't a central application installer in Windows, something similar to apt-get & Co of Linux
Probably because unlike a Linux distro, you don't expect MS to be the only source of applications because MS actually creates the OS as opposed to simply packaging software from other groups/people/companies.
framework for authentication, forms based data manipulation, and (obviously) skinnable data presentation
Django might be an option. It is not a CMS, it is just a framework but if you really ended up writing your own CMS this shouldn't scare you and in many cases, Django will probably make the job easier.
What it has helped is keeping people making complete crap under the guise of making 'good Canadian content' as opposed to reality hitting them square in the ass and giving them a clue that they suck.
Worst government waste ever. Well, not the worst, but still a huge waste.

X on a server? Heresy I tell you.
Actually, that pissed me off.
Keep thinking because 3d in the browser was already done.

Since there are valid reasons (application support) to not upgrading to 7, probably not.

You get to use one of these as a PC?
... err... Linux.
BTW, I'm Spart
Now I know what will be deployed around here 300 years from now. I can't wait.

No, its all them thar religions.
Came to ask this, this is just too funny to pass up.

The actual news item a little while ago about that change wasn't enough? For how long does it have to be mentioned every time QT is?

Oh come on now, that idea is so stupid that no one would ever think it would be a good movie, let alone actually attempt it.
You are definitely overestimating the attentiveness of the average person.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that term.
