I have say, I've only played the game for say 12 -14 hours so far but the gameplay is very different to anything I've played for that long, before. For example, most other games I play don't involve constant freezing, crash to desktop and full reboots every hours or so, to allow gameplay to continue. Judging by the hundreds and hundreds of people complaining of the same thing, on their own forums, I know I am not alone. A very different direction to take games in, indeed!

I assume they saw how well skipping version numbers and going straight to ten worked out for Blackberry and wanted in on that action!

Which is exactly what I thought, the second I read it. A perfect way to insert yourself in the middle of other people's privileged communications. There is no way in fuck this can't be exploited. Fake certs, sslsniff and I guarantee you we're going to find a whole new realm of exploits, with this.

I wonder what it says about people like you and me that everyone else posting sees a wonderful opportunity for better networks and we see an obvious security risk? :-P

Hilarious:)

I actually have one - and (feel free to check my comment history on this) - I'm a long time Android fan (including running a pro-Android blog). I just got a bit bored and wanted to play with something else - also I finally cracked the shits at the lag on my Android.

Will my next phone be Windows Phone (or Windows or whatever)? Probably not - I'll probably go back to Android - but I won't rule out staying on Windows. I've promised myself to give it a genuine go. So far, it's only been a month and it's been not bad. Not great but not bad, either. The phone is like 85% of the way there - but that final 15% matters and it's a nuisance. Apps are poorly covered and there's lots of stupid querks, such as all the eBook readers need the eBooks in One Drive, not the local disk, which is annoying when you're on a slow link. And you absolutely cannot download from the store if a file is bigger than 50mb unless you're on wifi. This is a hard coded OS fact - not an option. But my wifi is hooked up to my DSL and in Australia, DSL is slow as hell and 4g is fast. So that's annoying as shit, too. Lots of things like that are annoying but overall, I am working on it (it's a Nokia 930 btw). The camera is beautiful and the build quality is great (I'm used to Samsung, mind you). Still... those Moto X's are looking pretty nice and I'm really missing my Google Maps.

We'll see where I go in a few months time.

Yep - my vote here, too.

I've used that site, too...

Not only did they take eternity to fess up but I found out about it via Slashdot - not from them. I have the same email address as 3 years ago, so I don't see why they couldn't have sent me an email??

I actually did switch from a 2011 Macbook Air (the dual core 2GB RAM, 13" model) to a Surface Pro 1, a little while before the Surface Pro 2 came out. Why? Because, through gradual changes in my client base and their worlds, I found myself spending more and more time in powershell, Hyper-V management and other purely Microsoft centric tasks. So I ended up Bootcamping my MBA to Windows 8 (required for Hyper-V 2012+ management), so it was now basically a PC, anyway. Then, once a guy next to me got a DynaDock with his Surface Pro, I realised I could dock it to a couple of nice, big monitors and keyboard and mouse and it's frankly more powerful than my 2011 MBA was.

So I sold my MBA on eBay (at almost as much as I paid for it, amazingly - incredible resale value) and switched to the SP1, which I am still using. I have pre-ordered a SP3, in fact, because I have been so happy with it (we don't get the Surface Pro 3 in Australia until September). It's smaller, lighter, faster and better suited to my current working life. I also love the pen, as I now spend about 40% of my week in meetings.

So overall, I don't think this is a bad thing - I just don't expect it to get heavily taken up. I think most MBA and MBP users will prefer to stick with what they have. The trust is, I use my Surface Pro like a desktop or a notepad (a literal, paper notepad, not a laptop notepad). I basically never use it as an actual laptop unless I have no alternative but then again, I pretty much hate all laptops, compared to the desktop experience.

Oh sorry, forgot to say, yes, it's easy to find all IPMI devices on your network. Please take a look at: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utili... - you can download the IPMIView tool from there, which will find all IPMI devices on your LAN. The default password and username for all Supermicro IPMI is ADMIN and ADMIN, so, of course, super secure.

The majority of IPMI would be enabled by default, yes - however the majority (not all, some are virtual IPMI) are on dedicated NICs - usually labelled management interface or port or something. They're not usable as a normal NIC (although as mentioned above, yes, some are virtual and share an onboard NIC). As such, you're best putting them in a different VLAN. We use differently coloured network cables for them, too, in our datacentre, so there's no confusion. They're in a different VLAN, on a different switch (makes sense to use a different switch as IPMI is usually 100mbit and not worth wasting space on expensive switches for) and only a handful of machines can see that network, which, frankly, if those machines got compromised, we'd be f*cked anyway (domain controllers, etc).

The default config for a Supermicro (which is what I use) is the IPMI is enabled and set to DHCP, so if you left it like that, yes, everyone on your network would probably be able to find it.

I guess it depends on what you're doing, doesn't it? If you're trying to provide Microsoft Sharepoint access to Microsoft Office documents to users or Microsoft Exchange email access, then, yes, it probably is cheaper and quicker to do it with Microsoft stuff. It's a pretty ludicrous claim to say that the TCO of Linux is higher than Microsoft unless you are also clear about what your company expects your IT to do... If you're just trying to use Linux to emulate Windows, then of course that's probably a waste of time and resources.

Probably works on Powershell 2 however I think it requires the .NET framework installed. Powershell wasn't that good until later versions. I have to say, current versions are actually extraordinarily powerful, when working with other Microsoft technologies, like Hyper-V or Exchange but the early versions were no reason to leave VBScript.

Ha! I'd give you mod points for that if I could. That's the first time I have ever tried to post using the new Beta interface on a mobile and it munted the link badly.

That requires powershell 3. Prior to that you could use: System.Net.WebClient but the Invoke-WebRequest is far easier.
