If they only sell 32" and 37" sets who is going to buy them? 32" is too small for even a bedroom, let alone watching the 'HD' media one would expect to be able to stream to one of these televisions. Also, if the rumours are true this television must have some significant features other than what can be achieved with an AppleTV + LCD. My guess is they will include an EPG and storage to record television shows to in addition to the AppleTV functionality. Then Apple will call it revolutionary and pretend like they came up with the idea to record to HDD. Not saying I don't like the idea of an Apple tv, just saying.

So what I'm saying is... these guys have potentially got the password databases. What's changing your master password going to do? It'll ensure that they can't get into your password safe as it stands, online. But if they brute force your database then all of your passwords are compromised. No?

This might be a lack of understanding of the LastPass system on my part, but I'm not understanding why they are/were suggesting customers reset their master password. Surely, if this password decrypts a password safe then it is as, if not more, important to reset all passwords which were stored in the database.

The solution to your problem is simple, either a) use a static IP configured with reverse DNS, as many people have indicated, or; b) use your ISP's SMTP as a smart host to forward all outgoing email to. Simple, really.

USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries.

That's purely speculative. Also one would assume that setting Location Services to 'off' will infact turn off location services.

Settings > General > Location Services

Now you can choose which apps are able to access your location information, or disable this feature altogether. Was that really so hard?

I wish that I had Hypersafe installed so I could open Acrobat on a virtual machine instead.

I am not even on the electoral roll but am considering signing up to give Labor my last preference.

You might have had more luck if you were Googling "Kepler's Laws".

Does anyone actually use Modchips on their Wii any more?

Of course Microsoft offer support. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'mission critical documents' but they offer a high level of support for all of their products.

They will create patches for you if you discover a bug which is effecting your systems and, in most cases, this graduates to a KB once they have tested it fully. The turnaround for this type of thing is usually as long as it takes them - in the order of days (not months, and sometimes less) - and in the meantime they will devise a workaround suitable to your environment. I couldn't comment on cost, though it is obviously worth whatever they charge considering how many large companies are onboard.

Microsoft's definition of EOL is that they will no longer patch bugs found in the product, nor will you be able to obtain support either online, via email or telephone. It doesn't begin shutting down servers, though I suspect if you are running any 10 year old hardware it may be well past the due time for you, as the administrator, to begin a hardware refresh cycle. With an Enterprise-level agreement you will not be paying for the copy of 'Windows 2000' or 'Windows 2003" but rather 'x copies of Windows Server OS' so it makes sense that in order to get the full benefit of your licensing you upgrade your operating system and software whenever possible.

I also don't buy your comment that you can only have first-level support for a proprietary product. Using MS as the example we have been, I think you'll find that the majority of people supporting Microsoft systems are Levels 2,3,4+ (whatever 4+ may be).

My experience comes from working in a range of large corporations, both consulting and in-house, where Microsoft was the ONLY option due to the quality of the overall product and support provided on their enterprise products.

FWIW I use Mac at home.

Speaking from experience, having two machines with the same SID on a single Domain you will have issues related to the computer account in Active Directory. Remove one of these computers from the Domain and the others will experience Netlogon errors and various other issues as a result. Although NewSID may no longer be relevant due to lack of Vista/2008/7/2008R2 support, you should always sysprep /generalize to prevent these issues from occuring. Not too sure why an MS blogger would have this stance, I've seen it numerous times (10+) with my own eyes. The fix is to either perform an offline workgroup join and generate new SID's on all but 1 affected machine, or to remove machines, NewSID all but one, and rejoin the Domain.

Do you remember when the only thing you could get on copper was an analogue dialup signal? It's much easier to achieve higher speeds with the infrastructure already in place than without it....or you could just move 100m away from your telephone exchange and use as much of your beloved gigabit ethernet as you like.
