Back in 1963, the Beatles did some performances for the BBC and other places. The songs were recorded, but never officially released. Now, 50 years later, Apple has packaged all 59 tracks together and put them up for sale on iTunes for $40.

That makes it sound like this is the entirety of the (still existing) recorded material from 1963. It isn't. Quite a few more takes of There's A Place, I Saw Her Standing There, Do You Want To Know A Secret, A Taste of Honey, Misery, From Me To You, Thank You Girl, One After 909, and Hold Me Tight have already been bootlegged. In addition, some takes of Don't Bother Me have been bootlegged but none were released on this set. And several takes of I Want To Hold Your Hand and This Boy exist but have not been bootlegged (although some of This Boy was released on the Free As A Bird CD single).

For whatever reason, this set was only a sampling of what exists and has been bootlegged.

The problem is only "solved" until you actually try to (manually) install updates. That is, turning off automatic updates fixes nothing, it just stops the problem from happening (seemingly) randomly.

I just ran into this on Sunday, and quickly found out that turning off automatic updates didn't really help. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I eventually realized the machine still had IE7, and after I installed IE8 the issue went away. We'll see if it stays fixed or not.

Story from almost a year ago:

High-Frequency Traders Use 50-Year-Old Wireless Tech

I guess that part of the title is just carried over from the story, but what makes the footage "lost"? Simply the fact that it hasn't been released? Unless there's specific evidence to the contrary (which the story does not provide), there's no reason to assume the footage doesn't exist in a vault somewhere.

Sorry, that last post was me...wasn't logged in.

Not sure how I would go about sending you a message, but you can e-mail me: lukpac (at) (gee-mail) (dot) com.

I haven't, but I'm not sure if somebody on the server team did or not. I'll see. Thanks.

Mod parent up. Development is already in progress for the replacement systems, but that likely won't be complete for a year or more. This is a stopgap measure.

OP here.

The system *is* being retired. But it will likely take a year or more to move its functionality to newer systems. The point of virtualizing is to avoid a hardware failure during that time.

We can't simply flip a switch and go live with a new system.

OP here.

The business functionality is already being ported to new systems. But that isn't a trivial undertaking, and the projects involved probably won't be complete for a year or more. The point of virtualizing is to avoid a critical hardware failure in the mean time. It isn't meant to be a permanent solution.

OP here.

There are already projects underway to roll the functionality of this system into other, newer systems. However, those likely won't be complete for a year or more. In the mean time, the idea is to virtualize to avoid a critical hardware failure.

Thanks. However, it *appears* to just be updates, not a full install.

OP here.

It runs the middleware for a VB4 (I think) front end and Oracle 7.2 back end. Work is already underway to retire the system, but that probably won't happen for another year. The goal of virtualizing is avoiding a critical hardware failure during that time.
