Looked to me like someone trying to bring up all sides to a discussion rather than a "me too!". I know what I think, I'm here to hear what others think. That includes pro-MS "fanbois" and pro-Apple "fanbois" (you). It wasn't a personal attack until you started name-calling.
Then I thank you for staying here, even after Bush was re-elected, even after we went to war with Iraq. Your tax dollars have helped even more then the "idiots" who go to fight. YOUR TAX DOLLARS paid for the gas to get them there, paid for their guns, bullets, laser-guided bombs. YOUR MONEY IS PAYING FOR THE WAR, yet you are still in the US. Your talk about moving to Canada is cheap.
Why didn't you go for the National Guard, hmm? Your chances of being deployed over seas to hostile combat zone are dramatically reduced in that organization.
I personally know some guardsmen that will disagree with that statement.
Those people DO deserve our respect and sympathy. Regardless of their reasons for doing so, they are fighting and dying so YOU don't have to. If they didn't do it, there would be a draft and you would be rolling the dice.
My main point is that you seem to not have a desire to seek out information on your own. Unless some Prof gives you a book on the subject, you won't understand? Next time go HERE and learn more about a subject you don't understand. That's better than relying on a/. post to explain "techobabble".
IMHO, the ability to learn on the fly is a much more valuable skill than memorizing materal to pass tests.
Client Access License. You need one CAL for every user or device that talks to a Windows server. Exchange server, SMS server (Systems Management Server) and SQL Server (Structured Query Language) use CALs as well, although some will allow per-CPU (Central Processing Unit) options.
However, not to insult you, but you have totally validated my decision to NOT get a diploma. It is clear secondary education still has no idea how to teach anything but programming when it comes to computers. You have made my day a little brighter, thank you.
But a lot of those organizations use a license manager server so it's not really that big of a deal.
Are you talking about that steaming pile of shit from NT 4.0? The one that has NO idea what computers are in your directory and just sucks up a CAL whenever one is used?
I would LOVE it if MS actually made a product that would track my CALs and update based on membership in Active Directory. They have yet to do that though.
What is the "killer app" for IPv6?

IPv6 Essentials

· Score: 4, Insightful
I know, I used a 90's buzzword, but that is part of my point. The Internet with IPv4 was on a slow and steady expansion with gopher, ftp, and telnet. Then with HTTP and enough bandwidth to get.jpgs in with the page, it just exploded. Everyone HAD TO HAVE IT.
Until we have something that everyone wants and ONLY works with IPv6, we're not going to switch. That "thing" might be here today, but it seems we're all unaware what it is.
Sure, there may be things that are better, but I can do all of the things IPv6 can do with IPv4 and a slew of extra services that I'm already familar with (VLAN or service-based QoS, NAT, DNS, DHCP, etc).
I for one REALLY want IPv6 to get here, but the people who make my software and pay for my equipment won't change until they need to.
Sounds familar. We used a Livingston Portmaster with banks of 28.8 USR serial modems. Unscrewed the plastic case and put a screw into the side of it so we could secure them to a board at 90 degrees, volume knob up. I sometimes miss the days where you could turn up all the modem volume knobs and listen to the chaos of the 6:00 pm dial-up rush!
Please MOD UP! If Sophos is fine with it, then it seems McAfee and Symantec are just upset because they got burnt in making their AV run like a rootkit!
Thanks for the info! To be clear, my DSL service has not gone down once. I have had some outages with cable, and power-out does take out Comcast here but not DSL.
Also, my telco is AT&T, so my local ISP is forced to use them. I worked for an ISP that had Verizon as the telco, and I found their DSL setup to be a bit better. My CO for Ma Bell (I mean Indiana Bell(I mean Ameritech(I mean SBC(I mean AT&T)))) is in the sticks and is very old. There are hardly any businesses that feed off of it, so I don't think they invest in the lines or equipment any more than they need to.
Anybody that relies on VoIP service over a cable connection is insane. My DSL service is circuit based and survives just about anything including power outages. My cable service doesn't even survive thunderstorms and dies during power outages, presumably because the repeaters aren't line powered.
I wouldn't say insane. I had Comcast using Vonage for 2-years trouble free. I switched to a local ISP and DSL so I would be giving LESS money to AT&T and Comcast. However, I'm like 13,000+ feet from the CO, so my DSL line has at least 30ms just to get to the CO. Bad weather, wind speed, and political polls seem to affect the quality of my DSL line, and my Vonage calls are consistantly lower quality than being on cable. I know the setup of the ISP, and I know it isn't an issue with their "tube" to the Internet. It is just the technology of DSL over a longer distance.
I don't regret my decision, I still want to vote with my cash. But cable, from a performance standpoint, was better for my Vonage than DSL.
As these flights become routine, and as the technology improves (and especially as competition enters the market), prices will fall.
But first, you need to have somewhere to go. After you go through the 1,000 people on the planet that can afford to do this AND want to do this for fun, you need to do something else. I'd say 2-hour flights from NY to Bangalore would be a great start. Maybe sub-hour flights across the pond. Get that stuff going and you'll get regular flights from the Concorde set. Then maybe we can get the price down for everyone else.
Ugh, that sucks. I figured they would do the whole thing with Ethernet and just run larger trunks like gigabit to the CO. No need for routers, just put config on the switch for QoS per port. I guess I'm thinking too homebrew.
Is this the way Verizon AND AT&T are doing it? I would be in AT&T's area.
BTW, I burned my mod points 4 hours ago, I wish I could have modded that up. Thanks for the info!
He's not in search of the 'best' operating system, just looking for the one that can waste CPU cycles while making the user ooh and ahh.
Isn't that why people by Macs? Ohh and ahhh? If you are comformist, you get Windows, if you are out for the best, you usually end up with some flavor of Linux and run it from command line for the best possiable performance. I will agree that Mac has some cool hardware, but others innovate with other cool things. The choice over using OSX or XP is NOT about performance or security.
To me, the review looks at how well MS and Apple have done in their mutual goal: eye candy.
That's not the case with Virtual Server so there is no guarantee that Microsoft will continue to support it - and, with the release of Vista on the horizon, they have a lot bigger fish to fry in the short term.
With everyone putting in 100MB connections, now would be a great time to have FAIR access to the Internet. Here are a few ideas:
1. Give me TRUE, dedicated bandwidth at a low level. I'm talking like 768k down, 384k up that is MINE. It can't be squashed, and I don't get nasty letters for using 768k down 24/7/365. You really are not giving everyone 30mb down / 8 mb up, at least not all the time. Own up to it and let us know what is allowed JUST FOR US.
2. Show me my burst level. I might have 768k that is MINE, but I might be able to get 30MB down when everyone else isn't as busy.
3. Offer unlimited access within the switch (neighborhood). If I have a 100MB pipe to my house, and my next door neighboor is on FTTP, then allow me to talk at 100MB. I understand lowering it once you hit a trunked connection, but allowing full speed COSTS THE ISP NOTHING, and has a HUGE gain. My buddy might have 30MB from Comcast, but if I tell him that if he switches to ISP A he we can talk at 100MB, I'm sure he would switch.
But Starbuck's is no more a coffeehouse than Applebee's is a pub.
Yet it is no less of a coffeehouse than Applebee's is a pub. In either case, it isn't the chain that makes it a "third place", nor does being a chain disqualify it. The "third place" is more about the people than the building or the product. For some it is Starbucks, for some it is the M.T. Cup. Neither is more or less valid as a place to hang with your friends.
You are using SOME sort of electronic device to make your post, a device that uses electricity that pollutes and a devices that has at least some componets built by people working in poor conditions. Many people consider pollution and child labor evil.
My point is that you can not be black and white about stuff like that. Google didn't say "Don't do anything bad...ever". They said "Don't be Evil", and I think MOST people understand being Evil as both deeds AND INTENT.

We could get more upset about UNPATCHED holes, not when they release fixes.
Thank you for clearing that up. I was going to ask why I can get a red laser pointer for $10 and I have to pay $100 for a green one...
Then I thank you for staying here, even after Bush was re-elected, even after we went to war with Iraq. Your tax dollars have helped even more then the "idiots" who go to fight. YOUR TAX DOLLARS paid for the gas to get them there, paid for their guns, bullets, laser-guided bombs. YOUR MONEY IS PAYING FOR THE WAR, yet you are still in the US. Your talk about moving to Canada is cheap.
You just put down the red carpet for the one-liners...
I personally know some guardsmen that will disagree with that statement.

The part about Collins jokingly saying Armstrong had no balls always gave me a chuckle. :)

Actually, that wouldn't be the Vista team working on that. They have already said they are putting it into Longhorn.
If they do that, MS will be the leader in virtualization. It will be there, why not use it? Kind of like msn.com as a homepage.

Don't forget Netscape RELOADING every time you resized the page. On 14.4 or 28.8, that blew.
