Voiding your warranty in the process.

And of course sending it off was asking for trouble. Which is why he confirmed with a support agent and then even attached a letter.

The moment that the support agent promised that it would be returned safely is the moment that it ceased to be the kid's problem and immediately became MS's problem. Period.

Orbital Express Launches Tonight 137

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday March 08, 2007 @08:27PM from the packed-its-bags-last-night dept.

airshowfan writes "When a geosynchronous satellite is launched into space, no human ever gets to touch it again. This means that, other than for minor software issues, there is no way to fix it if it breaks, so it has to work perfectly, almost autonomously, for 20 years non-stop. There is also no way to refuel it once it's out of thruster fuel, the reason why it can't last more than 20 years even if it gets to that mark working very well, with batteries and solar cells still going, which is often the case. If only there were a robotic spacecraft in geostationary orbit that could change broken satellite components and refuel those older satellites, then satellites would be a lot less risky and would last a lot longer. Does this robotic spacecraft mechanic sound like science fiction? It launches tonight."

Vonage Loses VoIP Case With Verizon 150

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday March 08, 2007 @07:45PM from the time-to-pony-up dept.

cdrudge writes "A federal jury on Thursday said Vonage Holdings Corp. violated 3 of 5 patents of Verizon Communications Inc. and ordered the upstart Internet-phone company to pay $58m in damages as well as 5.5% in royalty fees per month per customer. Verizon said it would seek an injunction to block Vonage from using its patented technology. The jury did reject Verizon's claim of $200m in damages and that Vonage deliberately violated Verizon's patents. As you might expect, Vonage said it would appeal the decision and seek a stay if an injunction is granted. Judge Claude Hilton set a hearing for March 23 on whether to grant an injunction."

Managing Lots of IP Addresses? 97

Posted by Cliff on Thursday March 08, 2007 @07:35PM from the more-than-just-DHCP dept.

haggisbrain asks: "I'm a Systems Administrator and I've recently started work with a new company where I'm now helping to support a much larger number of nodes than I've previously supported. We have just over 1000 nodes to support, but no efficient method to manage the IP addresses and subnets used. Previously, an Excel Spreadsheet has been sufficient enough for my needs, but now I need to find a new way. Can someone recommend a piece of software which can help me? Is there a simple way to list and view the IP addresses used on my network?"
