Doing bodily harm is not against the law. It depends on the circumstances. Please show me how downloading "The Simpsons: Season 7" has issues with circumstances to mitigate its use.
If I use a gun to defend myself from a crime, firing a shot or not, I have done something to prevent bodily harm to the innocent involved.
Why not get a "cheap" USB/1394 hard drive at about 300GB or an enclosure, a copy of Drive Snapshot and a Sony AIT-E tape and back that sucker up right?
No, dipshit. NT did not have as good security system as even other OSes did. Win2K, XP, etc still have users needing to be administrators on their machines for many versions of various software to run. This is a problem. Security != password to sign on.
As for your stupid comment about the most important data being the user's own data, that is a poor planning problem. The user's data should be backed up if it is that important. It is still much better than say losing the entire machine and possibly the data of MULTIPLE users.
Try logic sometime, it might stick.
If the virus were not able to compromise anything aside from the user level crap, then the OS would not need a reinstall. They would need a restore of the user's directory only. I would put that at maybe 2hrs at best with even somewhat older technology.
However, with a better security based system, the virus would be contained to user level processes and hopefully not compromise the system. The user would lose their crap.
Tough one there, maybe they'll learn. Unlikely, though. Most times they blame the IT staff for not preventing them from being as dumb as they are.
Did anybody happen to catch the SouthPark episode where they were trying to stop Lucas and Spielberg from ruining the movies they loved?
The agents tried to attack them with radios (it was radios, not cell phones). I found that hysterical. Not as hysterical as when they shoved Paris Hilton up Mr. Slave's ass, but funny.
propagation of myth. You have those in different camps. Spinning up does not necessarily cause more wear and tear. Drives go into low power states and spin up and down all the time. Many times you have a MPOHBF (Mean Power On Hours Between Failure) level on equipment. You do not have the same issue as with combustion engines that have an oil pan that needs to have viscous fluid distributed around moving parts to keep it from failing. There is evidence to both support and negate both the "Keep it on" and "Turn it off" camps.
that we abolished parties in general. Their days of being helpful are over and in fact they stagnate politics. No 3d party candiate doesn't have a real chance in most American's eyes because he does not have the blessing of the 2 that are like 1 (Dems and Pubs are both the same minus the funny hats).
If we got rid of parties, people would have to vote for someone based on their merits, not based on which club they belong to and are beholden to. We could actually have people who are running who are the best for the job. No more voting down a line either. Create a thinking government.>
Yes, the all powerful version number. We all know that Word 97 is 91 times better than Word 6.0. However, Word 6.0 was only named to compete with WordPerfect 6.0. Where is Word 4.0 and Word 5.0?
yes, like VNC software that my company uses. No thanks. Plus it is a resource waster IMHO. I use Spywareblaster, Spybot and Adaware, with Hijackthis thrown in for persistent and stubborn problems. After that, it is no internet connection for a week;)
Choosing bad ANY software will cause problems. Don't go from being a nit to a twat. Yes, many people run antiviruses. A lot of them got those LOVELY 30 or 90 day trial offers from their computer vendor and never updated them and never kept them current. They also don't know how to install or use a firewall. I help them by making it work. After that, they don't need help as frequently. You on the other hand need some now, but I am not a doctor, so I will leave that to the capable hands of the men with the white coats and butterfly nets. Don't get so defensive. Just accept that you are wrong
It is still old and the new technology should not be penalized for the rectified problems of old. If this were not the case, then you should never suggest intel products due to the P90 bug, the 820 chipset recall, 1.13Ghz P3 recall, the 600Mhz Katmai P3 microcode update that was needed to make it stable, the problem with >600Mhz Coppermine P3s and Creative, the problem with >800Mhz Itaniums having issues that required them being downclocked, etc etc. Intel has its shares of problems. Compare that to AMD's problems and their new technology of thermally and otherwise efficient chips and your case is meaningless.
No ability to tell if there was an underlying security risk either.
Saying you just use common sense is covering up for macho bravado about your own foolishness. Get an antivirus and a firewall before you infect all the other nits out there who don't know any better. You should, you are just being lazy about it.
please post your experience with anything CURRENT in that arena. AMD has opterons at circa 30W. Show me a Xeon that does this. Your data is old, your argument is weak.
smoke is right, do you know how much power those suckers have running through them? Btw, Sun has better quality control. Itaiums that had to be run at lower than purchased clock because of a flaw? PUH Lease. Plus, the issue is that SPARC is a more open standard. Fujitsu's SPARC chips make SUN chips look bad and they scale pretty well too. How many non clustered Itanic chips go to 128 CPU easily?
It was a different time then. Then, they were more of an underdog than they even are now and it was to prove that they had the power to beat intel to something. Intel beating AMD to something is nothing to be proud of. With their money and R&D budget, they should soundly crack the whip on AMD on a regular. The fact that they don't should be a testament to how well AMD works with their money and talent to design a product that is superior. This should be a lesson that marketing may keep you running, but the better product will get noticed for being just that, better.
what do you have in those things? I have several 2003 servers and they work pretty snappily. I have an exchange cluster on dual opteron 2U boxes (240x2) with 1GB RAM in each (small number of users, don't complain about how much RAM I have, I had to keep it under budget). They work damn fast and keep everyone happy:).
you would be wrong in this case. I used to believe it was virii but that is a bastarization of latin pluralization and does not follow the common method of plural nouns for words from Latin origin.

Fine by me, as long as I can get into gov't buildings and high clearance areas to make sure they are not doing the same bloody thing

Get rid of parties for parity.
Macs did not have dual cores in 2002. They don't have dual cores NOW. They did have dual CPU machines, but PCs have had that for a tad longer.

there is a difference between criminal and against the law. Read about it in things called BOOKS.

it is the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE not PIECE. Wankers Btw, the PEACE prize is only for PEACE. There are other Nobel Prizes
You talk like a man who never saw a Samsung TV next to a Sony

he's hiding behind a NAT firewall, get him to turn it off. His real IP address is 127.0.0.1

not virii.
