... the FBI is not even after me. You will not see me cuffed in an orange jumpsuit on the nightly news. I am a law-abiding, tax-paying American citizen, just one of hundreds of business owners impacted by a secret government raid on a Dallas server company. Google and AT&T have been affected. Local city governments have lost data. Many are still without e-mail. Several counties have lost their 911 service.
... The cause? ... one movie pirate (who rented server space from the same hosting company) was facilitating downloads of the Hugh Jackman superhero movie, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." That is the rumor, anyway.
He also links to a local news video."

+ - Source Control for a Remote Environment on a Mac 0

capnchicken writes "I work in an C#/ASP.NET environment where the people in the creative department all use Mac OS X. The problem is, while the developers code what is needed in C#/ASP.NET, the people from the creative department want to be able to add their picture and Flash assets, as well as make changes to the HTML and CSS code. However, I also want to make sure these changes are reflected in the source control. Because it's in .NET 3.5 they can't run Mono locally to test their changes, not that I would want that anyway. So that leaves either having them run a Windows virtual machine inside their Mac (not a preferred option) or figuring out how to have them check out what assets they want to change remotely, change them, run the web site off of a development server running IIS to test their changes, and then commit those changes to the source control. What source control system to use isn't an issue as the company is using Visual Source Safe and I would love to have another reason to get them to move away from it. Is there a way to easily do checkouts and commits on a remote windows drive from a Mac? Or should I just go the VM route?"
