    how is that suspicious? They started in 2004 in October. 4.10 is basedon y/mm. The release schedule is 6 months. They then came out with 5.04. Doesn't this make sense?

    3M makes DUCT tape not DUCK tape. DUCK tape is made by http://www.duckproducts.com/ in response to so many people mispronouncing the name of a product. The tape was to close gaps in DUCTS not DUCKS.

    you are wrong. hosts file (soon to be unsupported if this goes through, hehe) is there as a method of resolving names from a file before searching for name servers. What if they do it by IP address? What if it is fed to you from a central and unblockable IP?

    I was under the impression that .NET was not about processor type as much as it was about programming language type becoming irrelevent.

    There is more than one type of free and the point was not that everything needed to be free. However, it is a good thing when costs are low and management is this easy. Just an FYI I am an admin for about 9 windows servers, 2 linux servers and 3 HP-UX servers. The tool must fit the job.
    The argument I was making, that it appears you missed or totally did not care to explore was that there is no reason to pay a few grand for a third party application, or even a same vendor application when there is a tool to do just what you want elsewhere. Just because you CAN do it a certain way does not mean you SHOULD do it that way.

    And actually they also have red and blue synthetic fibers, as well as strips embedded for identification. However, they are, in fact, paper. Paper is not solely produced from wood. The fact that it is made from an aggregate of pulp and not woven makes this a paper. Many high quality papers are not made from wood pulp at all.

    And yet they use different brand PCI cards, different brand Hard drives and optical drives. They claim they don't want a second supplier....waaah waah. Smoke and mirrors.pP they don't want to upset the sweetheart deal they have with intel, which is just shy of legal in a monopoly market (monopolies are legal, anticompetetiveness in a monopolistic marketplace is not).

  14. Re:why don't they call it "Look Out" on Mozilla Lightning Plans to Unify Mail & Calendar · · Score: 2, Informative

    My guess would be because Microsoft bought a company that created an Outlook plugin called LookOut. It was an indexer that let you search your emails, documents, etc for different topics and even went so far as to search links for references.
    it works decently well when it isn't broken

    They have an incentive. That incentive is the exchange of ideas and the ability to profit by the use and availability of quality software through the exchange of ideas mentioned above.

    Those who contribute to F/OSS, either through exchange of code, documentation or even simply recommending the product do so as a part of the belief that they are making a difference; even if that difference is that the retail products they seek to replace, supplant or coexist with will have to improve.

    No, a dual Xeon box from Dell is surely not the answer. However, Linux or BSD running on about 6 HP DL585s should be plenty. You would want to have at least 1 spare sitting on a shelf too, so make it 7. Then you would need some sort of fibre box for it to store the data, and a tape backup system. I would suggest LTO2 or LTO3 for that. An ML6000 tape backup unit would do it for you. Choose the backup software solution of your choosing and figure on another 2 DL385s for backups alone. You would also want gigabit switches for that type of load. Like you said, however, it would be definately nice to have the same setup in at least another location. If it has to be the same state, then make sure you have a long distance between the two. You would probably also want a dedicated pipe to them. This shit does not look cheap

    You could always use Drive Snapshot ( http://www.drivesnapshot.de/ ).

    It is not very expensive (not my product) and its great.

    While it will not burn your saved snapshots for you, it can password protect them, break them into size chunks of your choosing, mount snapshots as virtual disk drives to recover a single file or directory, etc. You can then burn those to a disk. I am usure of its support on linux, however I do know that you can back up a windows NT based machine within windows, including the boot/system state.
