Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the installer lets you enter hostnames manually. This isn't something I needed (backup server at each remote office), so I haven't tried. I think my sales rep told me I could cross subnets if I wanted to.
The only problem I've run into doing restores involed restoring a MS SQL 7.0 on NT. There was a bug in their connector and I was apparently the first one to hit it. I've long since switched to using an open file manager for Windows-side databases, and moved almost everything to Linux anyway. TapeWare's cross platform support is pretty good, although they do develop first on Windows and then port to Linux, Novell, DOS, and Solaris. I'm in the TW8 beta program but haven't done much as I'm still waiting for their Linux release.
That's not just the name of the product, it's the sound your digestive tract will make when you try to use it! Seriously, this announcement should serve as justice to anyone who found Arkeia and stopped looking. Your much better off with Amanda or TapeWare. Not that I've audited TapeWare or anything, but I've done several thousand backups with it and I know how robust it is.
I just called Comcast and it seems the silver chassis are HDTV or PVR, and I have neither. Is this counter to the FCC saying they have to give me a firewire box if I ask?
What providers offer FireWire cable box? Have I been living in a cave?
I have Comcast digital cable in Massachusetts, which is about 700 channels (including 100 or so of just music and a handful of HDTV feeds). The cable box is Motorola, black, but I've seen some silver ones at friends houses. Are these the FireWire ones?
I have the original 4.3 BSD manual, VAX-11 edition from 1986. It's 6 rainbow colored volumes plus two copies of the Master Index in a sophisticated brown. The cover of each features a cartoonish devil poking a bubble marked UNIX with a pitchfork. The part that I always found interesting is that the inside of the cover credits the design to John Lassetter, Lucasfilm, Ltd. Lucasfilm! How cool is that? That same year, he wrote and directed Luxo Jr., Pixar's first short and the origin of their logo. Here's his page on IMDB:
I prefer to be believe that Microsoft will put a bunch of money at into it, then throw a fit and give up. Their following will never grow much beyond the MSN customers that don't know any better.
If people are now treating google as a verb, bringing us tantalizingly close to a content-addressable web, how can Microsoft possibly usurp that kind of common recognition? Microsoft is already a verb, too; to do something expensively wrong (perhaps not in as common use as googling).
If all this 'fan-fare' isn't just Microsoft's own manufactured hype, which I believe it is, this will have a polarizing effect on the search industry. Expect AOL and Yahoo to publicly bring in (or restore) one search technology or the other, leaving people like Inktomi in the cold.
What does this say about the state of the world where the most recognisable brands in America are sell information access (Google and Apple), Europe gets stylish furniture, and Latin America gets... cement? How do they make cement sexy?
Are there that many installations of MySQL on Windows? Usually, worms will target the most common installations, and up until this moment, I don't think I even knew MySQL was working on Windows. Are the flaws this thing uses to spread (if there's something beyond bad passwords) specific to the Windows port? I would be much more concerned if this thing was targeted at Linux or was cross-platform. I guess MySQL should be proud that they're ubiquitous enough to host this sort of attack.
The infestation I'm working on now already knows about the address to MS' removal tool and redirects you to their "portal."
I feel like ranting about their attempt to dethrone AdAware. MS' tool detects 6 threats, half of which are VNC. The "unclassifed BHO" comes back on the next reboot. AdAware can't clean it either, but at least Lavasoft isn't tagging legitimate software as malicious.
Spyware can't screw up your computer for you when you don't even have the rights to screw it up yourself. Just take away administrative rights and stay on top of updates. Some institutions take this to the next level and run with all users as guests, and use logon scripts to build the user environment when needed. You will occasionally find software from sloppy vendors that don't do things in a clean way with respect to permissions, but if enough people come to their senses about admin rights, the few remaining vendors will get their shit together.
On the other hand, there was an interview recently with Microsoft's head of IT. It's shocking how they don't even try to use their own built-in security measures. They just give everyone admin rights and scan constantly. Since you probably aren't as big as Microsoft, you don't have that kind of luxury (or need for users to have that kind of flexibility). Just set permissions sensibly and relax.
If you don't give your users enough rope to hang themselves, they probably won't.
Very rarely, I do hear about messages strangely not arriving. I'm lucky in that I have a small enough user base (and loyal enough clients) that I can investigate these. All greylist daemons come with whitelist support.
This enables greylisting, antivirus via amavis, rejecting unknown users at the SMTP stage, and I also publish SPF records. These together mean I see about 6 junk messages a month to my account. There are about 100 mailboxes on this server, and I they all report about the same level of noise.
A validate feature would certainly be a tremendous boon, if not a fascinating toy.
I would love to see the Firefox folks provide something like that. Last time I read about HTML rendering, the argument against the "be liberal in what you accept, but strict in what you produce" philosophy was that this is very difficult to do in a quick way. It's less noticeable for email than it would be for something interactive like web browsing. Besides, RFC 2822 is infinitely more simple than HTML. A real-time linter within the browser would likely end up being a compile-time option for this reason.
(This is, I think, why became and why XML was always like that. The renderer gets to know ahead of time that the tag won't need a closure later.)
I almost had to agree with you for a second, except that your scenario would never happen. Microsoft's rendering engine is part of their overall strategy. By being able properly render the horrifically gnarled HTML their other products produce, they are able to lock out other browsers and lock their current users in. No open source browser would end up like this because the hackers behind it would say to each other "That's a terrible idea. I won't devote my time to it."
And you're also missing the idea that consistent, reliable and logical markup will make the internet more powerful and more beneficial for everyone. Following the rules brings us closer to a semantic, if not just easier to use and faster to render, internet for us all.

Disproportanal sentancing has always been a problem for drug addicts, who are victims of economic and public health problems, and go away for life with barely any cause.
Spammers are malicious, but most people in jail for drugs are in there because they made some mistakes in their teens or twenties, or are black, or both.
I wish people were more worried about drug addiction than spam.
Maybe now I'll stop hearing those stupid Al-Gore-invented-the-Internet commments since the guy who really invented (what most people consider the Internet) is getting recognition for it.
Flash in general is pretty reliable. I once dropped a digital camera in salt water, and wasn't able to retrieve it for around 30 minutes. The camera was beyond dead (bleeding rusty water) but the flash memory card was still usable. So usable, in fact, that a friend of mine borrowed it for a trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. God only knows what hell it went though in the jungle, but it still works to this day.
Thanks to Medal of Honor: Frontline, I can't watch a WWII documentary without getting chills. I vividly remember storming the beach on D-Day, and fighting house to house during Operation Market Garden. These events happend over 60 years ago, but to me the were just last year. I'm presently about the same age as those that were there. I know it's lame in a way, but thanks to MoH I now have an even grater level of respect for the veterans I know. Realistic and honest depictions of war may actually prove to be educational and valuable.

Do GIMP or Photoshop even pretend to be photo sharing tools?
Linux support is unlikely as Picasa has a long history on Windows and is targeted towards grandparents. Portability was probably not a consideration.
Mac support? Nobody is going to use this instead of iPhoto.

This is exactly the kind of stuff that will save us from those nasty terrorists!
And this is also great because we need more junk who's default and only mode of operation is "annihilate" floating around.
Way to go!
