    The problem is not that god does exist or does not exist but how people are treated for having an original thought. Atheists are told they are without morals by the religious and the religious are told they are a bunch of lemmings following things blindly by the atheists.. who is right? who the #@%@#%#@ cares... keep your religion in your back pocket and just go have a nice life..

    had a row of teen girls in front of us last week (their parent right in front of my 4 year old) at the Madagascar 2 showing... two people asked them to stop texting and the mgmt was not anywhere in sight. my 4 year old was getting into the movie and his feet were kicking the back of the seat (of the parent might i add) and she asked me to control my child kicking her seat... and my response was short and sweet..

    I would love to have him stop once the texting by her child (and others) stopped...

    I expected her to have them stop... no, she huffed and moved the group up to the neck crick seats (ones like 5 feet away) and which also put her children in plain sight of the finally walking through theatre mgmt person who asked them 2 times to stop and finally booted them...

    what a great show it was...

  15. Re:Not surprised on A Run Through Windows Server 2008 · · Score: 1

    Not sure where Tom got his hardware but I have been running 2K8 RC0 on a E6700 with 2GB of ram while dual booting between Fedora and the aforementioned... It runs wonderfully... then I DID install the nvidia nforce motherboard drivers AND the Nvidia Geforce 7100 drivers (this is a server remember) and it runs flat out... this made a HUGE difference in screen redraws and user experience.. (btw: you can use Vista drivers on 2K8 just fine)

    The server manager screens draw just fine but what does happen is the values in the display boxes sometimes are slow to fill in. the Windows Server Virtualization screen for the settings of a given VM display quick as heck but the values FOR the vm (like path/etc) take 5 seconds... this i am giving MSFT a little room on since it is RC0 and NOT RTM and I am sure there are some things changing in the performance between now and release...

    not a 2K8 fanboy OR a linux fanboy... just a fan of an OS that lets me do what i need to do in my job... linux or windows... they both have their warts...

    I worked for a small family owned (publicly traded) oil/gas exploration company down in Texas for about a year.. Came in and the guy there was farming all IT work out to the local consulting firm... I got them off of NetBEUI (yes, NetBEUI) and on to IP and setup DNS/WINS/DHCP... I also took them off of WorkGroup PostOffice (ouch) and also managed to upgrade them to Windows 95 and Office 95 or whatever the heck it was back then... in doing my assessment i came across the fact that we did NOT have licenses for more than 25 pc's and yet we had 250 employees... I did the math, submitted it to the CIO and he said it was a calculated risk they were willing to take.. even though the OS/Office licenses would not have totaled 75k and the penalties at the time would have been over 300k... i left about 2 weeks later after rolling out Exchange and upgrading their desktops (Finished my task) and went on... I still to this day have the email that he wrote me back with the 'calculated risk' in the return... found it on an old 20GB DAT tape going through things to chuck into a garage sale box...

  21. Re:It's not the software. on "Very Severe Hole" In Vista UAC Design · · Score: 1

    As far as the file copies go there is sometihng you need to consider. The ACL's on the old XP partition or drive that was around long before you laid down Vista are permissioned using old XP/Win2000/2003/etc file level permissions... Those do not go away... I have a laptop that had an internal 80GB drive that was dual booting Suse10 and WindowsXP with each owning 40GB... I also had a 80gb swappable drive in the cdrom bay that was formatted NTFS and held WAY too many vmware/vpc images...

    anyway... i installed Vista in place of both OS's on the internal drive (i am using my old laptop for suse only... yeah) and on install i kept trying to save files to the swap drive... i would get these annoying errors.. basically the old acl's were keeping me from laying anything down and Vista was treating this drive/parition as read-only it appeared...

    So I copied the contents of the drive to an external usb drive... blew away the partition and recreated it under vista... copied the contents back and the annoying file copies nags are gone.. i am the 'owner' and can move stuff around as i please.. i probably coule have run takeown or some other re-acl'ing program but it also gave me time to NOT move crap over that I don't need/want..

    basically the annoy factor was huge... i figured out what hte problem was and it is gone now.. i occasionally get nagged for things but it is FAR less now...
