  1. Re:The maximum uptime for Windows is ~17 months on Microsoft Has 1 Million Servers. So What? · · Score: 1

    KB2775511 has substantially reduced the CPU load and improved file-sharing performance on one of our heavily-used Windows 2008 R2 file servers.

    Microsoft recommends that it be applied to both servers and workstations.

    If they really want people to 'upgrade' from XP, shouldn't they make an in-place upgrade possible?

  3. Re:Panic Averted - Resume Doing Nothing on IPv4 Will Not Die In 2010 · · Score: 1

    So the question we each need to ask, on behalf of ourselves and our employers, is how long will it take to transition my/our setup to IPV6?

    If the answer is greater than 2 years, it would be prudent to start doing something about it now.

    This stuff really needs to be in the core of Firefox for it to gain corporate users.

    Rebooting a host doesn't power down the VM.

    warming due to Solar forcing (which accounts for Martian heating) is already accounted for in terrestrial models

    And only accounts for a small fraction of the observed warming.

    Also, don't forget we're at a solar minimum at the moment.

    Read Scientific Assessment Report 4, and follow the trail of references within that document.

    When you've read and digested, come back and explain (with references to peer-reviewed scientific research) why Tyndall's radiative forcing experiments of 1859 and all the climate science that has followed has been proven invalid.

    You must read different scientific papers from me.

    Don't forget to check your named.conf on RHEL 5.x (and CentOS 5.x).

    Make sure that any lines like

    query-source port 53;
    query-source-v6 port 53;

    are commented out or deleted so that forwarded DNS queries come from random ports.

    Restart BIND if necessary.

    I could pretty reliably crash Firefox 3.0 by using the GMail Notifier statusbar icon to open GMail in a new tab, then closing that tab and doing something else in the other tab.

    Not so with Firefox 3.0.1.
