Do ehst your saying is we nab some courier before he gets to the salt mine, not necessarily yours, but maybe some other guy as he heads that way, as the odds are he has much better data.
My point wasn't that I want to grab your data in particular, but that your security is only as strong as the weakest link. You providing even small details of your data policies on a public website, could give some one who is interested in your stuff some of the tools they need to obtain it.
Now that you've told the world that you keep you tape backups in a secret half floor 3 floors above the data center for the Frankin Institute, you blown half your security.
Of course I won't need the key , as I also know that you use a courier service to carry them offsite, Shouldn't be that hard to watch the building for a few days and jack up the courier as he leaves.:)
According to the new FBI labels on DVD's and Tapes, it is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a fine of $250,00. (For Each Instance. Sell 5 copies? Five separate possible charges.)
Unless of course by pirating, you mean Stealing it from a store.
"The only reason I can find to purchase Microsoft's XP thin-client is for those of us who would use it with terminal services. Terminal server requires a license for each connecting client, which a Windows OS has."
Not quite accurate. Windows OS Do not HAVE a TS license, but are assigned one by the licensing server. However if the OS is Windows 2000, or windows XP purchased before the release of Windows Server 2003, the licensing server will give them a "free license" If it is a 9x machine it will require the licensing server to use a CAL purchased and added to the pool.
Now if your terminal server is Windows 2003 server, your screwed, because regardless of the client OS, you have to buy a TS cal for each
"Why purchase a $200 thin client and then a CAL license[1]when you can purchase a $400 full fledge desktop with XP? "
Because a terminal server license is only around $100 so your saving at least $100 per terminal and your gaining easier system management, Lower TCO, & less administration.
I challenge you to find a decent machine that will last a company at least 3 years, with Windows XP PRO for $400. Building it yourself from parts off of newegg.com only count if you add your hourly rate to the price
My media center 2005 works fine with my direct tv, I just have to use the ir blaster that came with my Media center remote to have the computer change the channel on the receiver.
If you have a satellite box or other cable receiver, you would use an ir blaster to change the channels on the receiver before feeding it to your tuner card.
I would stay away from the averatec. While certainly b udget minded, it is lacking too many features. I bought one and returned it after 2 weeks for a toshiba m205.
The averatec was heavy, it got extremely hot and the battery life was horrible. (60 -90 minutes)
It seems as if averatec just took their laptop and through a hinge on it. In tablet mode you cannot access the power button , so you have to open it up to turn it on. They also don't have a hardware "ctrl+alt+del" on the tablet front, so if you need to login into a domain or access the task manager, you have to open it it up again. Also even though the processor was an AMD 2200+ it still felt sluggish and their were many times the pen would lag.
To make it worse, once I made the decision to return it and buy the m205, I had the hard drive completely die while I was in the process of backing up my files, so I had to revert to my weekly backup and lose the last week of work. It's almost as if the damn machine knew I was going to exchange it so it killed the hdd to spite me!
As far as textbooks, I do know a lot of people who chop the spine oftheir textbooks, and stick the pages into a scanner with an Automatic Document Feeder to scan them to PDF. I don't like the idea of chopping up a very expensive book, but it can be done.
Sorry, but economies of scale give Mcdonalds the edge.
If I wanted to make a a single hamburger for lunch, it costs me much more to buy the meat, the bun, the ketchup, the cheese, etc, not to mention my time in gathering the ingredients and making it.
By paying somebody else to make one for me, I can devote my skills to something which is more economically rewarding for me. Since I now have more productivity AND more money, I can spend more time and money donating to worthy causes that can help people.
So you see, by buying Mcdonalds, I'm helping save the world!
Yes but will that 2.90 cents feed me for few days? I'm all for contributing ti those in need, but I also have to feed myself and my family, and 2.90 just doesn't buy as much here in the States.
Textbooks are supposed to be updated frequently, however 2 things work against that Naive theory.
1) Often the schools as a budget measure will not update those books with every edition.
2) Even with the revisions, this is still be passed as fact. They don't necessarily correct the information in those. My nephew's college leve biology textbook still contains information on this experiment as "proof."
And my point is that these original experiments are still being passed as proof in biology texts everywhere. So what you are saying is that we should expect our students to take for a fact ideas that have been discarded by the general scientific community? What does that teach our children?
I think its funny that this was modded down. Not once did I mention that I believe in creationism, but rather that many of the ideas of the evolution presented in biology texts books have been discredited.
Apparantently some./ people can't handle their belief systems being challenged.
See, this is exactly why those books need the stickers. Because you my friend have been fed lies and mistruths, and you bought it as fact, hook, line and sinker.
The experiment your are refering to was conducted in 1953 at the University of Chicago, Stanley Miller conducted an experiment
designed to create primitive life by simulating the conditions of early
Earth. The experiment consisted of chemicals and gasses in a glass tube
acted on by electricity to simulate lightning in order to induce life
producing chemical reactions. Amino acids, of which proteins consist, were
formed. Other experimenters came up with similar results.
Problems:
a) In those experiments using ultraviolet light as an energy source, which
would be present on primitive Earth, the longer wavelengths which would
destroy these same amino acids were artificially filtered out leaving only
shorter, non-destructive wavelengths.
b) The experiments isolated newly formed amino acids so that the same energy
source that helped create them wouldn't break them down again as would occur
in nature.
c) Two leading "origin -of-life" researchers confirm that Miller used the
wrong gas mixture.
"Science" magazine said in 1995 that experts now dismiss
Miller's experiment because "the early atmosphere looked nothing like the
Miller-Urey simulation."
The fact that Miller's experiments are still being used in Biology text books shows that the the Evolutionist movement will stop at nothing to prove their point, even if it is bad science.
From a purely scientific standpoint, many of the teachings of evolution as put forth in High school and even college textbooks, use evidence and theories that have been discredited by the scientific community.
The fact that many "experiments" that tend to reinforce evolution has been shown to have disproved are still being taught to naive students is enough reason alone to put these stickers on the textbooks.
1. Install terminal service in administrative mode ahead of time, so it's there when you need it.
2. Install the Windows 2003 server adminpak, freely available off the net on your windows xp laptop.
3.Use the remote desktop MMC included in the admin pak, set up a connection, making sure to check the option that says, "Connect to Console"
4. ????
5. Profit!!!

Don't feel stupid. It takes a big man to to admit that. Your a better person then most here. :)

Unless I follow the courier to your remote salt mine and rob him there
Of course I won't need the key , as I also know that you use a courier service to carry them offsite, Shouldn't be that hard to watch the building for a few days and jack up the courier as he leaves.
Technically, it's true as tiger doesn't ship until the 29th. :)

Having run shops with 1000's of computers, I can tell you that using cheap Power supplies will come back to bite you.
Assuming of course that the ATM Machine is working. The last one I went to had a malfunctioning NIC Card.

I call BS. You show me a a complete amd64 you can build for $500. I know I spent over 900 building mine last month.

You must be shopping at Bob's Old & Crappy Computers Parts 'r' Us then, because Lord knows I have a hard time find a keyboard that's NOT USB
I grew up in Milwaukee. No pizza is worth giving away my beer. :)
The question then is, will they deliver?
