Ghost also runs in the WinPE boot environment without any problems. WinPE should boot off EFI based systems without a problem as it's used in the Vista and 7 boot DVDs. Just run Ghost32.exe from within WinPE and use Ghost like you always have.

you'd need one multi-stream CableCard plus the monthly subscription unless you buy lifetime service for the TiVo. It's pricy, but spread out over the life of the TiVo works out to be the best deal. I wish I had done it with my Series 1 TiVo that I got in 2000. It's still kicking, but I still have to pay monthly.
The pricing for Comcast works out to be $2.00/month per CableCard, but I think the first one is free. TiVo's monthly fee is $12.95 for the first box and $6.95 for each additional box.

I'm a Windows admin that's also comfortable in the Linux world, and work with someone that doesn't have Linux experience. I can tell you from experience that I am much more comfortable diving into config files trying to get something to work than he is.
Many people with primarily a Windows background expect config to be done via the UI and not via text files as many OSS projects are. I believe that this is what he was implying.

Microsoft releases security updates to all of its currently supported OSes, even if they don't pass the activation process. The mindset is that even if it's a pirated version, security vulnerabilities can harm everyone if left unpatched. They don't allow pirated versions to get non-security updates.
Oracle should take a similar stance, with free security updates to your current version but anything above that should require some sort of support contract.

This can also be started manually by running "MRT.exe" from the run prompt. The month of the update is in the title bar, so it's easy to tell if you're current or not.

It probably is still policy. Sysprep is now included in %windir%\system32\sysprep in Vista and Windows 7. I've been working with it for a few months and it's much easier to use over older versions.

NewSID does work with Vista, but it was retired last year. Russinovich looked into the common belief of why everyone thought we needed to change the SID and determined that it wasn't necessary. His full post is here

I agree...I miss the days of FidoNet and offline mailers.

I was always taught that this was how science worked. If your "results" can't be duplicated, then it's not proving anything.
By the same token, if you hide the data so it can't be duplicated, then the "results" should be thrown out and the work redone.

that's the situation I'm in...I work full time and am taking grad school classes at Pitt at night.
If this insane tax is implimented, they should call it what it is. It is not a "fair share" tax, it's a sales tax on education.

At least the last few McAfee Enterprise antivirus products have generated a unique sid and stored it in the registry (I think somewhere around HKLM\Software\Network Solutions\ePolicy Agent)

They probably define "new" as never been sold and bought back, not as fresh off the presses.

Apple prevents iPhones from running any app by requiring digital signatures on the apps. If it's not bought through the store or the phone isn't registered as a developer phone for that app, it won't install.

I've read reviews of it as real time collaboration. Think of it as private e-mail, IM, and document collaboration all in one system.

AD can set up Roaming profiles or use group policies and redirect profile folders to a central server. The benefit is everyone's data is in one place which can be backed up easily.
Roaming profiles are very bandwidth intensive, but the folder redirection isn't that bad, and I've used it for years at work.
