The day to day ramblings of an IT Professional and Community Leader
Oh man, a Microsoft (M$) MVP! What should I expect from this kind of person. Man, get a life and read some books, you are just a damn piece of the Matrix!
I thought the problem with stealing is that there is an injured (or stolen from) party. The music industry is doing great, 90% of music downloaded is done so illegally. Money is still being spent on music. People are going to more concerts and the music people are downloading is stuff they would not pay for anyway.
There is a video from the editor of wired I watched on their website, if it's not their it'll be on youtube somewhere I'm sure, he's also wrote a book about it. going into detail about the above.
This situation is very different from stealing a car. And as a Canadian judge ruled, is far more like photocopying a page from a book in a library.
Back when I was a computer support technician I used to carry a binder of CDs and DVDs, including (but
My wife’s 17” HP Pavillion laptop broke; when I say that it broke I do not mean that the OS crashed or
I think this article is screaming for a picture of the damaged laptop
I might hav taken it as I have two busted laptops at home both unusable and one of them happens to be an HP that I would have jimmied the MoBo into if it fit.
Hey, I was wondering if you could add OS' like 98se, XP and so on that do not have 'identifiable Operating Systems' when trying to import the ISO images... If you know of a workaround that would be fantastic
Mitch, you are doing some amazing work--sorry I missed you on your last trip to the West Coast.
Very valid rebuttal. That's why you're an MVP! You certainly know the technology.
a good, well thought out article and hits almost all nails on the head. However I do disagree on one point, that being the UI being no mean hardship for a user past ten minutes. You obviously have never watched a pensioner who struggled but endured xp attempt to adapt to the new UI.
To not have a "classic option" dotted in the relevent places is a little unthoughtful really. I'm more the adept with using various operating systems and for the most part have dealt with the UI change. While I prefered a classic start menu I am okay with the new style. But to not at least include the tickbox to disable program scrolling miffed me. It's not a lot to ask really imo.
Remember some people struggle like hell with computers, it's like an alien concept to them. Microsoft could cater for these people a little more sometimes. I was equally disapointed in this regard when they started shuffling the UI and folder locations in Vista because to me it didn't render them more accessible, it was just something else to remember everytime the computer got turned on. For me a minor gripe but for older generations it's a huge turnoff.
Mitch,
4MB footprint! Other than that, perfection!!!!!!!!!

What a great feature! I have not been able to try this out yet but as soon as I get Bluetooth for my PC I'm going to use it! Thanks for sharing this fantastic tip!
We'd love to hear more at www.facebook.com/windowscanada

Mitch, this feature sounds great.
Thanks,

I had to deploy a new DC at work to take advantage of some of the management capabilities supplied in Server 2008 R2 (Powershell Active Directory Modules) but wanted this DC to be Special. Yep “Special”. I wanted a REAL DC. CORE. Secure. Restricted. Bet
This just solved a HUGE problem for one of my customers!
Thanks for spreading the word Mitch.
Excellent post Mitch. You educated me today because my Texas experience, it has appeared that Verizon was light-years ahead of ATT.
Good work. I'm looking forward to reading your blog more frequently.
Cheers,
After i update the deployment share i create a new media and the result is a list of empty folders with no content. what a i doing wrong i followed the instructions to the letter added windwos Xp and windows 7 along with their tasks.
Nice post... Looks like solid state memory is really starting to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing decreasing solid-state drive prices real soon. 5 dollar 32 GB Micro SDs for your DS flash card... sounds good to me!<br><br>(Submitted by NDSBro for R4i Nintendo DS.)
awesome feature...smart move, but i dont have multiple exchange accounts. im not that cool...
Thanks for this article - I've struggled for a long time to keep on top of three different exchange server accounts and I'm excited to put this functionality to the test. Currently, my solution is running three different virtual machines just to solve this problem.
Excellent article Mitch, especially the part about checking with the finance department.
Welcome to the joy of carrying everything you need on one machine. It's great to have both options on one fantastic piece of hardware.

Mitch, can't you download the file in Mac and then boot into Windows and install it. You should be able to read your mac os from windows but not write to it by default
But in this scenario (which works great - thanks) how do reminders work? Primary account? Secondary account? Tertiary .... or all accounts?
I guess it proved, as I predicted, to be not so essential after all. Microsoft attributes the discontinuation to "new IT trends" but the product is less than two years old and the trends were taking shape long before that. In fact, in the post linked
Microsoft is discontinuing its Essential Business Server (EBS) product family , company officials said
Very interesting situation. My thoughts/comments in not particular order:
The onus is always on each of us to protect our privacy. We can do a lot; then we hope the powers that be - i.e. government, credit card companies retailers - do their best to secure the confidential information they are given.
Connection between senior management, front line troops and training. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that if you had sold the video footage you accidentally acquired or been infected and exposed to fraud, you would a. be probably sued by the couple and b. have a case against the store. You wonder if corporate counsel has foreseen that eventuality? If they have then you wonder whether they formulated a policy to deal with the issue. And if they did, have they communicated the policy down to managers & front line troops? Doesn't sound like they have done any of it...Maybe corporate counsel is a dinosaur who is barely familiar with technology.
Danger lurks in the most unexpected areas. Your blog post reminded me of an article in the Toronto Star about a similar situation with the hard drive & memory in photocopying machines. They interviewed a tech at a leasing company who explained that almost every machine that is returned at the end of the lease has a memory full of images of all the documents scanned & copied over the course of the lease - contracts, lawsuits, employee reviews - you name it. No one thinks or reformatting the hard drive of the photocopier - just like few people think of reformatting the hard drive of a video camera...
I had thought of doing a blog post about the copier. Now I'll do the blog post for sure and add your story to it as well.
