IBM's laptops have hardware encryption of the disk on board... and got it for something like 10 years. You don't need Vista for harddisk encryption... and Vista's encryption is even not the best solution (for Vista) available, there are several 3rd. party solutions wich are fairly cheap, powerful, and runs on several versions of Windows. You don't even neesd that TCP chip for running real safe encryption...
...nothing can protect them there, they are located in a country wich protects them quite well against US **AA organisations. If they move to Sealand it would be enough to cut the connections.
...on my new PC: Microsoft Windows (any version). I just would like to tell wich OS i want with my PC and in wich version... but that craplet seems to be impossible to get rid of. Pls. don't give me the "but you can, you have to...", no, PC's should be sold without an OS. the OS should be an option and it should be free to choose which OS you want to have installed when you buy a PC...
...reasons for people running unsecure windows. If WV makes it hard for the gaming industry then I'm all for Vista... and I usually are a MS-hater... If he got a problem he should move to Linux or xBSD, then he could distribute his fucking games as Live-CD's.
Apple is going in the right direction. Active Directory in terms of failover and replication... Have you ever tried to replace an AD's first DC ? That's a PITA... AD do have a PDC (that is the first DC created) and it is next to impossible to replace it when it dies. In NT 4 it was just to tell a BDC to chang role to PDC...
must comment on your sig... sorry... Running Windows Vista with a BSD kernel... err... I meant BSOD kernel You should consider upgrading to the new RSOD kernel, unless you are running the new UI on the old kernel...
Yeah... That's the technical part of it... the other side is that sites are doing whatever they can to prevent you from viewing MS WMV and Apple MOV (both files and streams) without the proper plugin... wich is not available for Linux. mplayerhq.hu seems to be blocked by some ISP's...
...there is at least one commercial multiplatform Exchange equivalent... it is called Lotus Domino... it got all the functions of Exchange plus a lot more. it is far better solution than migrate the whole shop to Microsoft.
NetBEUI was made by IBM and back then it was very important, primary because of it's size... you couldn't fit a full TCP/IP stack in to the RAM on a std. PC back then. The other alternative was IPX by Novell... there were three or four other solutions but they were designed for some special network hardware.
They (IBM/Lenovo) are selling it here as the portable Linux Workstation (with Linux preinstalled) so I assumed that it was working well. My A31p works perfectly.
...now, when Linux is running on more desktops than ever, people are saying that TWD is impossible unless we sacrifice some of the holy grails of the whole FOSS concept ? Funny...
"Anyway - if the person has root on the box (which they need to install the rootkit anyway)..." afaik a rootkit is needed to get root... if you got root you don't need a rootkit, you are the almighty beeing on the box...
1. SORBS sucks... and they work because they suck. They assume any mail source is a spam source unless it got a rDNS record (wich may be quite hard to get on ADSL lines).
2. SpamHaus do a decent job and they don't make funny/crazy assumptions, and they do try to keep the list up to date.
3. Even content check does not block spam... spammers are sending pictures with their message... and they make those hard to run thru OCR (just like the Human-Check here on/.).
4. A world wide law against spam would help but is not likely to happen. ...whoever find a working non-STASI-like (ie. SORBS) and open solution will get my vote for the Nobel Prize... ...and yes I do know about several methods for fighting spam but they are far from perfect... they are usually based on certificates and they do work pretty well... we do however need a solution in the SMTP and not an propriatary addon on top of it...
Technically it is just a DNS server... there is nothing spookey about it, you just make a entry in your dns server for the spam source and point it to 127.0.0.2 (and not 127.0.0.1)...

This is on /. not because of the that info... this is on /. because NYT is writing "MS products sucks ! don't use them.".
thx... this seems to be the solution for my problem.
I did try that... it did allmost work... except the new DC is still desperatly seeking the dead one. btw. where is the nice UI for that function ?

You are welcome to borrow one of my AT-compatible PC's... I even got a Toshiba portable 286 (the one with the cool red plasma display).

I wish you're right... but I'm afraid that we just will se the usual development: cracked versions of WV, able to run whatever people want.

"Push on Leonovo to offer something comparable to...." like the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T60p ?

That is exactly what will happen when they win... and the case will probably be valid in the whole EU...
Are You scared now ?
Just FYI: if you did 4. on your Windows you have violated the EULA. It is not cheaper if you follow Ms rules.
You never saw the pictures of the MS staff from the Microsoft Basic days, did you ?
...I would buy a multiport server NIC.
