At least the last few McAfee Enterprise antivirus products have generated a unique sid and stored it in the registry (I think somewhere around HKLM\Software\Network Solutions\ePolicy Agent)
Apple prevents iPhones from running any app by requiring digital signatures on the apps. If it's not bought through the store or the phone isn't registered as a developer phone for that app, it won't install.
AD can set up Roaming profiles or use group policies and redirect profile folders to a central server. The benefit is everyone's data is in one place which can be backed up easily. Roaming profiles are very bandwidth intensive, but the folder redirection isn't that bad, and I've used it for years at work.
yet they list Memphis which I have never heard of being in the rust belt. I'm not as sure about the Pittsburgh area, but Memphis doesn't need to be bulldozed. It needs replacement of all the local government officials to remove the corruption that has festered there for years. That will do much more good than bulldozing parts of the city.
Ironically I lived in Memphis all my life until moving to Pittsburgh last year. I agree it is another great city. It looks like it is trying to reinvent itself through the technology and medical/research device industries, and I hope it's successful doing so.
I've used an app that does this for a while now. It's called Data Case and provides WebDAV and FTP access. There's a bunch of other ones on the app store as well. I fail to see how this is news.
The public beta will be out May 5th. Paying for MSDN or Technet gets you early access. I wouldn't have a Technet account except my work got it as part of their MS license deal.
sure, when you add the ?sort=gold it matches the other sites, however if you just go to http://stats.cbc.ca/olympics_medals.asp it sorts by total medal count by default, which is what NBC is doing.
has anyone even looked at this in the store? I'm wondering if paying for it gets you codecs that you can't get in the download version. That'd be worth $20 for a lot of folks. On the other hand, if it doesn't have the codecs and Joe User buys it, then tries to play an MP3 or watch a DVD and it doesn't work then Ubuntu's credibility starts going downhill (whether Canonical is actually behind this version or not).
Just A DOS, not a DDOS. We have no proof that MediaDefender is in control of one or more botnets. As Jim Lauderback mentioned in TWiT tonight, it was from multiple IPs (even though MediaDefender owned them all), and thus a distributed attack. If it were a DOS, they could have blocked the single IP and the attack would end.
I'm using TivoDecodeManager on Leopard. What's broken for you? The only problem I have is if I'm queuing multiple shows, anything after the first has the file name all wrong, so I only do one at a time. But it's hardly unusable.
Last year I wanted to watch the NCAA Basketball tournament in HD, but had no HDTV. I bought a cheap USB HDTV Tuner (Pinnacle HD Pro Stick). It worked great with the over-the-air broadcasts on my computer. I hooked it up to a projector in a conference room at work and it was even better.
the article says that computers configured to update via WSUS were not affected. I can confirm that my computer wasn't updated. Most companies that pay attention to their updates probably use WSUS to manage them.
SoftGrid has been around for a while and was bought last year by Microsoft. We've been using it in our labs for a few years. Our base image is XP with antivirus and DeepFreeze, then SoftGrid provides the apps. It streams the apps to the desktop without them actually being installed on the system. It has reduced downtime due to reghosting, and the size of our Ghost images considerably.
obviously you are someone that is not going to be convinced that Microsoft can ever make any good software.
However I'm still going to comment on your point here: " 12) Sharing with others (SharePoint, Groove, etc)
Is that a feature of Word, or one of Sharepoint? Double counting, I think. Besides, the usecase for collaborative authoring in education isn't that prevalent."
The post was about Office in general, not just Word. Sharepoint and Groove are two different products. Sharepoint is a web-app and requires an organization to set it up. Groove is a desktop app and doesn't require a local server. Working in education, I can't stress how wrong you are about collaborative authoring. Groove allows multiple people to work on the same documents much like Google Docs does. When you have multiple people working on one paper, it really comes in handy.
And while in college, look for jobs on campus in IT. I got my current full time position through connections made as a student worker reparing lab computers.
At least with Beta 2 Vista did run with admin privledges, just as all previous versions of Windows. But you have that box that pops up when ever you use those privledges. MS has done a good PR campaign to make people think it doesn't, but install beta 2 for yourself, the user created in setup is an admin just like in XP. I sincerely hope that this is changed with RC1.
in my test of vista betqa 2 you still run as root. Windows still installs without asking for an administrator password, and only recommends that the user account (which is an administrator) have a password. The "accept" boxes for any admin-type tasks are just window dressings, pardon the pun. As an admin in a largely XP environment I see no incentive to move to vista at this moment.
you can still burn songs purchased from iTunes, they limit the number of burns of a playlist, but not the number of burns per song. With iTMS you have access to the file as long as you have the file, and you can burn it as a data file on a CD or as a standard audio cd.

They probably define "new" as never been sold and bought back, not as fresh off the presses.

I've read reviews of it as real time collaboration. Think of it as private e-mail, IM, and document collaboration all in one system.

I was getting that most of this morning, but it started to work this afternoon.
yes, it will have the ability to do that.

The press already has review copies of SP1. This is the people in the trenches that need to test it before deploying it.

the intelligent menus are still there in 2003. I disable them frequently on client systems.
I have yet to see that on Tivo. Their "thumbs up for more info" during ads is actually pretty useful too.
