OOooooh, lovely idea, so they can sell you a little server that they buy for pennies on the dollar in bulk, stick some labels on them, image them and then sell them.
Why they can even build in the price of development and a small profit. They can appear to be less evil than a (no names please) large software company selling their office suite by download or disc. They can even portion them into strict service levels like : small for $2000.00, medium for $4000.00 and enterprise for $49,995.00.
Then in 5 years when the hardware's EOL is up the cycle starts all over again. Well, we have been here before. Haven't we?
Truth is, everyone is grabbing the cloud computing ring and while it has proven uses, it can't be all things for all people. With SARBOX, HIPPAA and other lesser known legal jeopardies it's just too risky to be part of that cloud after all.
I guess Windows Home Server *automatically* backs up clients that are connected to it
I believe you are correct on that aspect, so the question is; does it make incremental copies that explode -or- is it something else. It almost seems to early to comment on this until a more detailed explaination is expressed. Hence the title of this thread
Why would anyone edit the backed up files anyway, sorta defeats the purpose if they are stored copies of backed up files from the clients. Just edit the files on the client and let them backup again. No need to store data on a share.../sarcasm
Unless, of course, it's a leftie making fun of a conservative, in which case anything goes, no matter how nasty it is. To some people, the truth must always take second-place to their political agenda
not a leftie, but I find this man to be a budding transexual.
I'll spout some anecdotal evidence, though YMMV.
Being an old-timer, I can tell you that when I went to school all we had were polio vaccinations and tetanus. Out of a class of about 200 kids, 1 in 25 may have had bizarre allergies, (milk, grass, wheat, eggs etc.) Now it seems that most kids have some type of allergy or asthma, yet we live in such sterile times. It's not hard to conclude/perceive that something happened in the 70's and beyond. Was it in the vaccinations?
It's probably very easy for a lot of trepidation about vaccines because of past experience, anecdotal it may very-well be, however it does not help when polititians, school boards, professional organizations (AMA) AND big drugcos all gang up and require new vaccines mandatory as soon as the trial period is complete. I'm glad I don't have children in school (or children at all for that matter). I'd be leery too. (hope my tinfoil hat isn't showing)
Do you get the flu shot every year? That's a vaccine. Do you realize it's a crap-shoot as to whether -or- not it will even be effective against the "projected strain" the powers that be are pushing? I thought not.
No wonder a good portion of society distrust vaccines in general.
DVR-MS support for unprotected standard definition TV recordings from Windows Media Center. HDTV and protected recordings are not supported.' Let me make sure I understand this: at this point, a consumer has purchased a PC, Vista, a tuner card, and a Zune, but still can't be trusted with high-def content? Nice.
I fail to see why anyone would be surprised by this, we are seeing this everyday in so many different ways, but especially with content. Smart people have been thinking long and hard how to get around getting people to pay for stuff that is now essentially free. New York Times tried it (i.e."Times Select"), Slashdot has subscriptions where you can forego ads. Search for an IT term in Google and typically you'll get the first five links are at techmag sites and you only get the first paragraph, the rest you have to pay for. Same damn thing.
Wait awhile, soon you'll be able to get Hi-Def, but only if you subscribe to a service somewhere. It's only a matter of time. Besides, what's the big deal about watching Hi-Def on a 320 X 480 or smaller screen anyway?
but then again, name me please just one pda where you get operating system updates directly from the operating system vendor and not from the device manufacturer.
"This brings us to my favorite type of mail, the crazies. They range from the mildly disturbed to schizophrenics. I honestly wish i got more of these."
Yes, technically I got screwed too. But on second-thought did I really?
True, when I signed up it was for "unlimited" downloads for less than 20 bucks a month. I would load up the download manager and just go to bed, when I woke up I had like 150 albums I didn't have the day before. It was great being an early DSL adopter
Then the letter would a arrive day later bitchslapping me into submission to "not abuse our service". Then another letter the next day saying "You received that letter yesterday in error". Now this happened at least 5-6 times over a year. After the third bitchslap letter I know I replied back generally asking what they believe "unlimited" to mean. Some form letter came back telling me that "My download level is way above-average"...well yeah!!!
Rationally, did I get screwed? Not really when you consider that over that year period I probably downloaded at least 1500 albums of stuff I genuinely like and about another 300-400 that are just OK. It was well-worth the $120.00 or so for all that music.
I wasn't surprised that the terms changed abruptly, though I was less than happy about it on principle. I even considered dropping them in protest, but I realized the value of their service, and the fact nobody was selling music DRM-less and also for the fact even at the 90 downloads a month it was still a bargain.
Rationally, if every one of their subscribers downloaded as much as I did, there would be no way for them to make any money. They still had to transfer money for every download to the artist/distributor/label. Though it was fun while it lasted! BTW I still subscribe and make sure I get my 90 tunes a month. The only thing I don't like is the fact that certain things disappear [Frank Zappa comes to mind - though I blame the widow for that] and no longer even appear in your history, so forget about re-downloading them.
Actually, Dada's right about "groupings". I find it appalling that unless you are in a group you simply do not have a voice, let alone identity. We were taught 40-50 years ago (whoops... gave away my age) that the Bill of Rights was written specifically to protect the individual from the state. I really fail to see why: If I own a gun, I must belong to the "Gun owners" group. Or if I smoke tobacco[Smokers' Rights Group], Pot[Libertarian], wear Tie Dye's [Leftist], Use an Apple Computer [Gay], Linux [Smart], Microsoft [Dumb]... you get the point.
We are more managable in groups certainly. Though giving up that "rugged individualism" of my forebears is not an option to me. I have always bristled over many stands the ACLU takes and it is specifically because they (in most cases) only find worthy causes that are "Party Based". Do you think that Ed Asner would still give his backing if the ACLU went after the Gub'ment to advance property rights for land owners/small businesses as opposed to going after those same land owners/small businesses to make them hire a certain type of people (Group)? I think not.
Look at their website and you'll see that most of their issues are group-based. Unfortunately, since I am am not in prison [Prisoner's rights, Death Penalty, Drug Policy], or have AIDS [HIV/AIDS, Lesbian& Gay Rights], don't pick tomatoes [Immigrant's Rights], not crippled [Disability Rights] , have no vagina [Women's Rights, Lesbian& Gay Rights, Reproductive Rights], Though I am Human [Human Rights], I doubt very seriously that being white, male and own property/business that must surely mean I cannot be human, as they do believe in reverse racism. Which by it's very nature is racist.
By keeping the notion of racism alive and well, reverse racism thrives and they want to codify it into law -or- at least set precedence in law!
As an Ohioan I second your WTF and just want to say, this won't accomplsh much as there is nothing in the document to establish any competition whatsoever. Without that, it'll be an oh-boy!, old-boy!! charade!!!.
Keep the press-releases coming Ted, that'll wow'em. Plus, using the state broadband will probably guarantee that the backup tapes that would normally be in an intern's car overnight will now be available to all the blackhats out there and not just those on foot.

They want their bulletin board back.
Just like going to a hamfest -or- vintage electronics show/flea market, you too can set up shop next to the vintage vacuum tube sellers...
Keep any documentation that can potentially help you, delete the stuff that you know could hurt you.

I'll be watching this and hopefully it's going work as advertised.
There was a license involved. A license is a privilege and not a right!
