is using a blind security system WITH no sort of verification. That is stupid insecure and bordeline criminal. As for not changing your SBC password, well DUH, sorry I have NO SYMPATHY for anyone who would use an issued password.
if you leave 'production' documents on your desktop, they are not properly safeguarded or backed up and that is grounds for termination. "All work related documents will be placed in the designated repository on a regular basis as determined by internal audit requirments."
We ghost build workstations, restore connection to the file and print servers, and install apps, your data is either in the repository, or you look really STUPID explaining it to your boss:) That aside I've set up several friendly developers with local raid cards and mirrored disks so they are keeping data locally but still protected, but those few I know about ensure tons of people are doing other less wise things...
these problems in the last 2 days, ONLY on IBM T20 laptops installed by the OEM vendor. It appears as if they used an automated 'stealth' install process that totally by passed the "do you want to register" process, so 90 days later it is asking again. We've got a reg fix from M$ as a workaround, but tracking down and getting the farking laptops attached to a known network port vs VPN is turning into a nightmare.
and stupid 'OLD' crap someone just DISCOVERED on the net far outweigh the spam I get as well. I've opened another account and keep it for my friends to bombard me with useless crap that I haven't the heart to tell them I saw 2 years ago. I just smile and say that was funny...
of life....the correct answer is US, and our lack of awareness and general apathy. We've allowed idiots to take control, not because we don't see what's going on, but because it doesn't directly affect me....
you are correct and it is different then I had been told but I still can't use the disk, even disk administrator fails to see the device. In order for it to be generally useable it has got to be mounted and assigned a drive letter. I don't mean to spring arbitrary arguments, I was originally a solaris admin and this should all be EASILY accomplished, but the brave new microsoft world I've been handed has some issues that I have yet to figure out:)
Why can I only define 26 drives then total, local + fiber attached SAN disks in a Hitachi frame in Win2K AS or even Data Center. Your article only shows how to CHANGE the drive letter not how to have a drive WITHOUT a needed letter, What I need is unix like/dev/dsk/yada yada... Exchange storage groups can only be a certain size for managability reasons, my monster server, 8 way cluster servers with 8gb of memory can handle oodles off sg's but each one is a drive and I am limited to 26 in any environment. Thanks for the link though.
err no, NT and even 2K are DRIVE LETTER dependent, 2003 will be the first fully dynamic system that will allow mounts of drives without a drive letter identifier. Beleive me, Exchange and a large SAN frame have proved this fact over and over again. If someone can provide info to the different I would be grateful...
if you happen to speak Indian and reside in India that is...That's where all our coding jobs went to, not to mention our entire help desk structure. "We will be sporting tremendous financial losses soon I am afraid."
and as soon as my work IPL's this weekend, 02:00, my very large employer will return the favor to AOL. We've got a seperate presence on AOL for business so this will not impact us in any way, but will impact AOL customers who benefit from the good neighbor policy.
you make good points, but the technology to bridge the mp3 to mainstream equipment is and has existed for quite sometime. The recording industry has been ACTIVELY supressing it rather than riding it. Why should I need a computer to play mp3's ? If the RIAA had backed a format, it would be the standard instead of CDA. You should get an account, that was some well thought out information.
at least someone is showing interest in it. It certainly isn't the customers these days... Honestly I really think that the baggage associated with a 'traditional' record company far outweighs any advantages you can get EXCEPT access to musicians, but I am sure existing contracts are bound up somehow in this deal to remain with Vivendi. If a company could get access to musicians WITHOUT all the overhead of the 'brick and mortar' 15th century mentallity the music industry is RIPE for a revolution...
An idea whose time shouldn't come. What a complete and total waste of bandwidth. If you were talking about multiple people in a video conference for work, maybe but just like a video phone has not caught on most people DON'T want to have to be seen to take a call or answer a quick message, the way IM's were supposed to be used. On top of all of it AOL and every other broadband company is cutting your upload to a trickle making this seem even more foolish. It is like the cable companies using downloading music as a selling point then filtering mp3's out.
I flew concorde from london to new york...took 5 hours and 15 minutes, with the 8 hour time difference I got home to the states 2 hours 45 minutes before I took off. Was neat but it did little to counter the monstrous jet lag and it was almost 6k for the one way. I do miss the bloated dotCOM days:)
Next Archer Daniels Midland will 'volunteer' several Tonnes (tons ?) of gene mod grain that will displace the native grown stuff, AND not reproduce, thereby completing the dependency cycle set up by the WMF, and WTO.
Everyone knows when it is done for your own good everything always comes out in the end, right ?
my official job title at work of SSA, Senior Systems Admin with that of server monkey:) Took the boss 14 months to notice it, but I got a raise anyways and it was not even fruit:)
the ability to claim that the reason it was not working was the WEB and not their crappy code or poorly designed sites. My company has been migrating heavily to the intranet/internet, and then looking stupid when a 3rd party router somewhere cuts off all our customers. Someday we are going to find all the left brains that were removed from our managers heads...
The main problem is the proprietary CLOSED nature of console games. The BEST longest lasting most played games, read made the MOST $$$'s are PLAYER supported, designed for MODS and player maps. Until the consoles figure a way around that, and I am sure they will, PC gaming is and will continue to be superior. The grand expirement is EQ adventures, and I predict a slow painful death for that game. Without a keyboard and extensive macro ability it is going to be painful at best. Make a console controller that can compete with a mouse+keyboard in a FPS and you might have something also. As to needing new games with more imagnitive gameplay HERE HERE:)

fun, but dangerous as HELL. We've had several ambulance calls on various people, they sit in the garage alot as a result.

there IS a God, now all we need is to add some THC to the cocktail :)
but unless the paying customers...read THE PARENTS, get access to it, we are all wasting our time and energy...err that's right this IS slashdot :)

no no NO in English, it would be AN Xbox, in American it is Da Xbox.

true, I am from the west coast and was thinking in pacific time, while arriving in new york and thinking it was home, as in the US.

It actually took me almost 72 hours more to get to SF including stops and side trips
