If IT do their job correctly, they should test the install on a separate system before deploying it live.
If the install does not work 100% first time, don't tweak it, send it back. I would tend to agree with this as well. The problem when developers deploy code or applications into production is they (in my experience) WILL try to fix bugs/errors/etc in PRODUCTION if things go tits up during the install. They don't like to back out the change and do more testing in their DEV environment. Even if they do get the code working, you really aren't sure what you get stuck with in production. And then it's the IT support guys who get the 3AM phone call when something is wrong and also the blame for whatever downtime might have occurred. I have, and will, always vehemently object to any developer having access to a production environment that I have to support.
Is it trespassing if his neighbor's AP is broadcasting a signal into HIS property, or "airspace" per se? If your neighbor has an apple tree that has branches that are growing over your fence into your backyard, are you allowed to pick the apples? Or is that theft as well?
I've run just about every kind of server we have on here via this, even older things like Novell servers. Getting rid of old servers is one of the best reasons to go to vmware... They have a migration tool that essentially virtualizes and existing box, as long as no one's hitting it directly by the IP address the next day they come in most of them won't even know they're hitting a virtual server.
I've had good luck doing this with Leostream. Not so much with Platespin although I have not used their latest release. Amazing tools nonetheless.
Hehe, yeah. I can't believe there were not more comments about the "underground" scene. I've forgotten most of the groups from back in the day though. I don't think anyone mentioned the anarchist's cookbook either. That was always a popular file floating around the BBSes.
My favorite part of BBSing was the art scene.. with all of the ansi groups like iCE and ACiD..
Can't believe no one else mentioned those groups. That was one of the greatest joys to upgrading to a 9600 baud modem - those 3-4 screen ANSIs would scroll beautifully and not take forever to display.
I dabbled a bit with warez of course, couriered for a PWA (Pirates with Attitude - I think) and played around with wardialing trying to find as many System 75/85 systems as possible. This all stopped when I was 18 when I figured I could possibly get into "real" trouble. I remember hitting Alpha 2010 (or something like that). It was a 6-10 node "zero hour" warez site. I loved my USR 16.8 HST Dual Standard modem - you couldn't beat an HST to HST connection. Ahh, the memories...
"The USB 2.0 Advantage
USB 1.1 was great, but USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port."

Sounds interesting and would like to check it out... :(
The 80s don't look so bad when a twister rips through those fancy network RAID and NFS shares one day. :P

ESX really shines when connected to a SAN shared by multiple ESX hosts. Vmotion is the coolest thing *ever*.
