I don't think arrogance means what you think it means as I haven't demonstrated anything to that effect.

Whilst your comment is marginal troll, I will point out in the majority of cases the sensitive nature of any project wouldn't be a bearing in the choice of creating your own data center, that is just absurd.

Also, in the UK the B2B sector of hosting is a cut-throat arena just like most heavily invested sectors. I'm sure some of our competitors would relish at the opportunity to put a spanner in the works to discredit the service we provide.

Paranoid delusions? Possibly, but better safe than sorry.

-- "if there's nobody in the room with you"

That's an assumption. You don't know what other people are doing. You are basing an installer used by thousands on your own experiences. You're making the same mistake as the developers are.

Plenty of times I have worked in the datacenter with other engineers from other companies doing installs all around me. I don't want them to see the password, thanks.

You perked my interested with a £50 helicopter. My son has wanted one for eons but any worth their salt seemed to be far too expensive.

Then I read this on the Hubsan website:

"Keep it away from children. Carefully read the instructions before any use. If you are beginner, it's advisable to be assisted by an experienced helicopter pilot."

Anything for a beginner without training?

Windows Update was originally just a website. During Windows 95 days the user had to pro-actively visit the site to get updates.

It wasn't until a while after Windows 98 was released that a notification tool became available that checked for available updates. But thats all it did, it just "notified", and it required the user to download it from the Windows Update website.

Windows ME was the first to have built-in automatic updates.

System going down at 5 this afternoon to install scheduler bug.
