What I find interesting is that Sony said "This would not be affecting any of the Sony laptops" Doesnt that strike anyone else as odd? Or perhaps it's just a bluff. Of all people you would think Sony laptops would be hit the hardest however no reports and Sony claims there would not be a recall. Perhaps they take better care of there laptops than others? Not trolling just curious is all.
Yeah but this also adds to the level of intensity. Would you just rather click....then wait a few hours for something to happen?
Giving a game more options and allowing you to control more things and how things works gives the game a much different feel that a typical RTS. It can also change the outcome greatly when you have more options. It keeps you on your feet.
I think the problem here is Software vs. Hardware firewalls.
Compair a Cisco PIX 501 to Nortons latest and greatest software firewall Software firewall basically starts off blocking what it thinks are potential viruses or threats to your computer. A hardware firewall such as a PIX 501 just blocks everything until you tell it otherwise. A software firewall basically is a nusence with all its little security warnings "CAUTION Your getting on the internet" Hardware firewall just stays out of the way and does only what its told to do.
The biggest of them both is the fact that software is so much easier to bypass than that of a Hardware firewall. Software only blocks what comes into your computer where as the hardware is there right when traffic passes your modem.
Also you get what you pay for...a PIX 501 runs around 400-500 where as norton with ANti-Virus is what...50 bucks? You basically get what you pay for and cant expect much more.
Man I tried to sell my Treo 650 on ebay 3 times and gave up. The first time someone bid and won the auction. THen I get an email saying this guy was not authorized or some crap. Well then I try again and someone buys it from outside the US (Said I wouldnt sell outside the US) and I never got an email from him...then a few days later his account was deleted. So I try a third time, someone buys...same thing...never hear from them then there account was deleted. Yeah im done with ebay.
I wish there was a way to force it to where no one could big unless they have allready purchased x amount of items...but i guess everyone would do that and no new people would be able to buy.
Wana relieve stress? Well as a computer guy you can have alot of fun screwing with others...for instance one guy at my office I felt like pranking...I took a screen shot of his desktop...moved all his icons and put them in a hidden folder...then applied that picture as a background...hah he restarrted that damn pc more times that i have fingers.
Took him about 30 mins to figure out what was up...That sure is a stress reliever.
Really what it was lacking was the lore. Dungeons in Morrowind were all different. Now in Oblivion you have set themes. Theres like 3. Sure they are for the most part different but they all have the same feel.
Also theres just not as much fun in the dungeons. Before id go out and find some awsome scroll or lost sword...Oblivion just doesnt seem to have as much of that...its like exploring the dungeons lost its fun.
They took alot of great things but also messed up on alot of thigns. Its like if you merge part of Morrowind with Oblivion you'd have the perfect game.
Nah you see because of thoes long lines you will miss your flight...then when ol' 747 explodes on take off your gana think..."Damn im glad for airport security....if they were any faster i would have been on that flight!"
Well if infact learning to do a job will go out of style (Due to new OS or programs or whatnot) would nt the same apply for programing? Now before I go on I know nothing about programing...well...Qbasic (yeah i kno i kno) but aside from that isnt there a new language or something new that would put that in the same category? Learn one language but a new one comes out or a new way of doing it comes out?
Sorry if im being confusing but isnt programing learning how to do something aswell? I guess I allways thought that its best to stick with one area...programing engineering or administration. Programing seems to be more towards...well...programing. I dont see how that would fit in administration exactly.
My problem is I am getting a degree in Computer networking and Systems administration from a school here in Texas. This is only a 2 year degree specialized in Microsoft.
There is only so much they can teach in 2 years and I cannot for the life of me find a school here in texas that offers a 4 year or more degree in Network Administration. Yes they have BUSINESS administration but thats not quite what im looking for. I want something geared directly towards Computer Networking.
I did find a school with Networking engineering outside of texas, but aside from that ive found that because theres only so much to teach in a specific area I can only go for two years.
Does this mean in terms of 2 yr vs 4 yr im shat out of luck?
Yeah to be honest your post made no sense...we have 3 servers running Portal server, exchange, AD, CRM, Sharpoint, Greatplains, and quote a few more smaller apps....whats your point...We have plenty of room to expand to.
Windows Task Manager that provides all sorts of information about the programs running on the computer. In addition, it is simple to find out what is configured to run at startup via the 'msconfig' command.
How can a user find out if there is a hidden program that is eating up memory? Is there a way to find out what executes when the device is rebooted? Not for the average user
Ok if its the adverage user were talking about then this changes things. I dont recall the adverage user knowing what an msconfig is some dont even know how the task manager works. Since when did you go help someone at there desk and they said "Well I did an msconfig and a regedit but couldnt find anything bla bla bla" You dont see this at all. I would clasify msconfig, regedit and mabye even task manager under an advanced or intermediate user...and for the record yes there is a way to check startup on WM5, just takes alil lookin around.
average Windows Mobile users are relatively blind about what their device is doing
So is the adverage PC user. You say the word registry and they wont know what you are talking about.
I really feel this artical confuses the adverage user to an advanced user.
I also feel that the aritcal is really aiming its fire at the software vendors and not so much Microsoft.
As you will see, blindly trusting a software vendor to keep you data safe is very risky.
History has taught the security community that software vendors will not code secure software unless forced to do so by consumers. The Pocket PC software market is a prime example of this 'law'
Typically, third party passwords are not encrypted. If they are, then it is a fairly simple matter to crack many of the encryption methods, thus exposing the original value.
As illustrated, there are numerous programs that advertise their 'security' features to earn your trust, but in reality fail to protect your data from attackers.
I really feel that this headline is giving a false statement as to what the artical is really trying to say. Seems to me that its the software vendors that are being targeted in this artical and not so much windows. The word Third party is showing itself much more than windows is in this artical.
Well its kind of how i responded to the last guy. If you have to worry about a GUI eating resorces from a server then your server is shitty. A GUI takes a tiny number from what a server should have in system resorces. If I had the choice between GUI or command line..id take the GUI, but at the same time its just matter of preference.
Lets see *Pulls up server* the GUI on our server takes up ohh...10 megs from explorer.exe (Lets open AD) hmm roughly 10 megs....lets see I have er...4 gigs in memory...yeah i think im just peachy.
Well when it comes to resorces you should not have to worry about the GUI taking away resorces on a server. If your that concerned about loss of resorces then your server is well...pretty shitty. Servers should be made to accommodate a wide variety of services and also have room to expand.
As far as just even having a GUI from a command line interface thats just matter of preference. If you can type up a command to create a user in AD faster than I can point and click then by all means go for it. Infact Server 2k3 allows you to do most if not all AD tasks from the command line.
IE 7 is a free product as long as you own Windows. Yeah I guess in terms of Linux users its not free but most of the world runs Windows anyway.
As far as security, IE7 is doing a damn good job of catching up. I was a big firefox fan for a long time however I have to admit IE7 is a major improvement from IE6 and Microsoft has done a great job in stepping up the security.
So wait...You mean to tell me you just called up Microsoft one day and said "Yeah I'd like a pirated version of windows please" And they just handed it over? Yeah smells like BS to me.
Having an interface that is user friendly is a great idea.
If you really want the interface to make the user happy here is a good bit of advice...Don't change it.
Users today are used to Windows. You say the word linux and they wont know what the hell your talking about. So esentually if you wanted to create a user friendly interface then you would want something like Windows. Then why not just use windows?
Keeping the interface simple is a basic part of how to help make a business run better. Its a key point however you have to look beyond such simple things and look into things from a sysadmin's point of view.
Windows: My Computer
Linux: Your Computer
Ok so you can change up a few icons and make some things look pretty. Thats nice...But what can it do for the business man? Tell me how Linux Beats Exchange server. Tell me how Linux beats SQL 2005. Sharepoint, Portalserver, CRM, Live communicator....Who cares about what the desktop looks like. What can it do to increase productivity?

Plenty of times. IE7's security allmost matches that of Firefox now.

Good analagy but there is a difference. McDonalds is bad for the masses but Microsoft is thought as being bad.

So your saying a GUI is bad?
Yeah...ok...I really just dont believe you honestly lol. Telling me that Linux allows for more productivity than windows? heh oooookay
Someone finds something wrong with something other than microsoft. =P Seems likes its allways Microsoft were bashing.
So wait...You mean to tell me you just called up Microsoft one day and said "Yeah I'd like a pirated version of windows please" And they just handed it over? Yeah smells like BS to me.

Micosoft does much more to make the end user's life easier. Sorry Linux just doesnt make the cut in the business world, and hopefully never will.
