Policy is made by management. I don't care if you watch gay furry porn for all the three hours you spend in the Office.
I do care about the security of the network - so if you plug your private Laptop into the Office LAN, you won't get any connection because your machine won't authenticate. But i'll know exactly that you did so. And i'll call you out for it.
In all the places i've worked, WebSense etc. only worked in the VLANs for the office workers. All IT networks (as did the Exec's networks) had unrestricted internet access (they still went through a malware filtering proxy, but not content filtering). This might be different in larger organizations.
In the place i work right now, we only have a malware filter. No content filtering at all. I think it's pointless. If someone does not do his job properly, fire him. If someone does his job properly, but uses 10 minutes a day for masturbating to gay furry porn, he's still more productive than someone who takes a 10 minute smoke break every 20 minutes.
It's the solution someone technical will come up with (and it would work a lot better than what we have today), but it won't really solve the problem either.
I read about a fat guy in jail that hid a gun below his belly (and as i'm not quite thin either, i'm sure that this would work reasonably well). There's plenty of people smuggling drugs in their anus.
Samba is still stuck in NT4 times. That's why everyone should get rid of it. The hacks needed to make it work with Windows 7 alone show the age of the software.
I'm aware that the development to get Samba up to the level of WS08R2 is in the work, but it's nowhere near where Microsoft is right now.
Yeah, but the facts are that every mobile phone that ships today only delivers 50%. Now you can choose between phones that have a solid track of firmware updates (and you may get up to 70% some days later), or you can choose a phone without updates and stay at 50% forever.
I think this is one big importance thing that Apple does with the iPhone that neither WinMo nor Android deliver right now - steady improvements. You can use firmware 3.0 on an original iPhone - yes, you can't use voice recognition, but the most important thing for me (ActiveSync Support) is now pretty good - which wasn't there in the original firmware!
No, actually it has to do with whatever rating you have at your phone provider.
Numerous things count into that rating - how much your bill is, if you pay it on time, how often you buy a new phone, how often you call the hotline to ask about stupid shit and on what kind of plan you are (business, private) etc. pp.
The easiest distinction is usually seen between business and private contracts - i have my phone on a business contract (together with 20 other phones), and when the iPhone was released here, you had to wait 2-4 weeks to get one (as a few of my friends in store told me). I wanted one too, but as lazy as i was i didn't go to any store - i just called them up, asked about iPhone availability, they asked for my phone number and corporate account number, told me that they had them on stock and i got it in the mail the next day.
That's what a good CRM system gets you - the more you pay, the better service you get.
We have a lot of customers that are upgrading from Vista or XP to Windows 7 - mostly on 1-2 year old machines, which will work perfectly under Windows 7.
After i finished my apprenticeship, i leased a car, got credit cards, rented my own apartment, etc.
After about a year, i was 20k$ in debt. I realized i made a mistake, cut down all my expenses to a bare minimum, and a year later everything was paid off. Problem solved. I paid back around 1.5k$ per month. Just means you have to skip all the luxuries, but it works fine.
It couldn't possible be that VMware, Xen and Microsoft have different approaches to the whole Hypervisor thing, which could expose different bugs in Intel's Hardware.
What benchmarks were you looking at? The Xeon 5500 CPUs are fast as hell. They no longer need slow FB-DIMMs. They use much less power and yet deliver more Performance.
A Dual-Socket, Quad Core Xeon 5500 machine can beat a quad-socket, Six Core AMD machine (c't, a Magazine also bei Heise published a test regarding this some issues ago).

Sounds completely plausible to me. Your company may lose 0% to IT failure, but others may lose 50%.
Bombs are technology.

So every muslim that still wants to fly the plane is a terrorist. You're not thinking this through ;)
Can laptop batteries really blow up a plane? I know they can cause small fires and everything, we've seen that several times before.
How long would you need to rig a laptop battery to blow? How obvious would that look to other passengers?
Mandatory bacon sandwiches before boarding the plane. Everybody wins.
Yep. The difference is that you blame Windows and i blame Samba.

Everyone has a test environment. But not everyone has a production environment.

I can get the iPhone 3GS 16GB here for 250 CHF with a two-year, 25 CHF/month plan. That's 850 CHF. An unlocked one costs 1050 CHF.

EAS allows you to sync contacts and calender, but for mail only you could use IMAP.
(Though Exchange's IMAP support isn't really good)
You need to get a bigger screen.
But giving advice without insults is called consulting and costs money.
I'd like to see some pictures of gorilla warfare. Are these mechanized or trained Gorillas?

And its certainly doable.
You use thousands of programs daily?
It's a processor bug exposed by a new hypervisor technique used by MS and nobody else.
I'm not sure why you want to blame this on MS.
No, the OS exposes an issue in the processor.
No. It only affects Hyper-V.
I have 3 IBM x3400 M2 and 2 x3650 M2 (both Nehalem machines) with SBS 2008 at customers, all of them run without a single issue.
It couldn't possible be that VMware, Xen and Microsoft have different approaches to the whole Hypervisor thing, which could expose different bugs in Intel's Hardware.
