IIRC, your major backup vendors have modules for backing up exchange now. Legato Networker does, at least. I have an exchange server at work that I maintain by the simple expedient of not backing up at all. Works fine for me!

I don't think of hard disks as reliable media for long term storage. Even mid-term (1 year-ish). I have drives that are approaching their 16th birthday that still work. I also have drives that didn't live two months and I see the trend heading more toward the latter. Drives are GENERALLY not...

Why the hang-up on DaO? Why CD-RW? ntbackup can write to a CD-Rw, only files with a changed archive bit. That'd work. right? You can write the backup job as a batch file that runs when you double-click it. If there's no worry about filling up the disc, only replacing changed files and adding...

Er, doesn't Nero make its hard disk backups in Disc at Once mode? Are you needing more selectivity than Nero? And then there's ghost, which requires some quality time in DOS..

1. Saving business email is a bad idea unless someone is making you. 2. I'd shoot anyone who sent me 5MB emails regularly. Really. Shoot. That's completely abusive if that traffic is going out to the wider internet. 3. So... they need to refine their practices. Email a link to a web site. Don't...

Mickey refuses to comment whenever I accuse him of that. But then, he also knows more about WD drives than even Buck, and occasionally mentions designing drives for a living, so I think we can draw our own conclusions.

Spoken like someone who has never been awakened by the dreaded 3:00AM pager.

Requires Acrobat. It's worth it.

Here. I tested it. It works, enabling you to play DVDs with WMP8 (whichever one comes with XP). Kind of a neat thing for fellow system builders here.

Not interested. Not enough space. Plus not enough Maxtor or Samsung.

You do know that you don't have to do that any more, right?

Crap I'm behind the times... most of my PCs have only 256MB of PC2100. Sigh. Only two with PC2700.

Nope. In fact I had a fairly long internal debate about what, exactly, it should suck hard. In the end, I decided to leave it to our various imaginations.

mubs, the last person to call me "gallant" dropped out of medical school and now lives with a 300lb. lesbian. Are you sure you want to use that word?

What's with this sudden fascination for logging out? What are you people, communists? I've got my eye on you now, you... you... people who don't want to be logged in!

Trackman Wheel cordless. They work OK, but I'd rather have cords than change batteries. Trackman Marble Wheel units are my rodent of choice. I buy refurbed units so I don't have to pay $50 apiece for them, but I'd pay that if I had to. They're superb little pointers. I can't even get the things...

What kind of RAM are you using?

I'm pretty sure the the now two-year-old+ palestinian uprising started basically the same day Sharon paid a visit to the Temple Mount. IIRC Netanyahu <sp?> was still in office then. Of course, putting hardliners in office after Shamir and Rabin was more or less the regional equivalent of...

Delete your sf.net cookie and try again?

jtr, you're right that your comments sound extremely anti-semitic.

I came to a similar decision some time ago. Basically, I see a combination of factors playing into each other, including the currently ascendant right-wing government, general religious loonieness on the part of orthodox jews (the kind with the most rights in Israel), general loonieness on the...

You're far from the only one.

Got your attention, didn't I? Read all about it here. Story has been on /. since last night but other sites don't seem to be pick it up, so here you go.

Step away from the crack pipe, Tea.

There's a 200MHz setting for mine, and the default DIP switch setting is in fact 100MHz/Other. You need to install the EasyTune app to do any real playing.

Probably NFS then. There are a couple of USENIX whitepapers on dual NFS domain security. You can point your IT people to them, but they may very well have a technical reason for not being able to do what you want.

Are we talking about NFS administrative domains or Windows security domains?

If you were using Mozilla, Netscape or even Mosaic, you could've right-clicked to "copy link location". Just one more way IE is keeping you down.

It was a Barrracuda II with THOUSANDS of bad sectors. I was extracting my revenge with an insulated flathead screwdriver. :D See, I'm not prone to random acts of computer violence like CougTek. I'm cold-blooded and methodical. Kind of a Vlad Tepes for bad computer parts. ;)

iGary's comment reminds me of a funny story involving my very determined ex and a Hitachi MagicWand...

I'll paypal $5 to the person who can tell me how Seagate SATA drives and "leading entertainment technology" retailers have anything to do with each other. The last time I saw a seagate IDE drive do something entertaining, I was prying off the various chips under the SeaBra while the drive was...

For the life of me I have no idea whether or not you're kidding. Fortunately, there are 24,300 other sites that also match the search terms +anal +golf +dick. We appear to have lots of competition. There were 60 hits for "anal golf" as a phrase, by the way. I shudder to think what unholy...

CougTek is correct. In fact, I remember my Intel Sales rep telling me BEFORE I EVEN SAW A SLOT 1 package that they'd be moving back to Socketed CPU at the first possible opportunity (of course, at the time I was told both would be options for the future, too), once the technical aspects of...

Here. Some motherboards will boot off these, even if they aren't explicitly bootable.

I'm pretty sure that Field Programmable Gate Arrays are slower and more expensive than the transistor-based CPUs we use now. I know there's a couple of EE types who I'm sure will correct me but, uh, slower, more expensive logic gates that're normally used in prototyping don't normally lend...

USB Homer rulez. w00t! My first choice for a useless USB gizmo. Man, I can't imagine buying one of these things. Here's another to make you go WFT? Cool side Cool. Hot side Hot Wasn't IrDA worthless enough without the adjectives "smallest USB"? Lastly, a remote that's probably actually...

... and, of course, they do this just after I finish buying my coolers. Inconsiderate so-and-sos.

So my eyes are different from everyone else's?

SF is slow? Really? It's just like it always is on my 19.2 aggregate connection... No, seriously, I'm getting TONS of "the site you're attempting is not responding" messages from Moz, and it's deeply annoying.

Forum unresponsiveness/connectivity issues on my end led me to "submit" the preceding post five fimes. I deleted a couple so y'all don't questioning my ability to point and click. I'm not really trying to rub it in. ;) Can someone who isn't a moderator tell me if this shows up as having been...

It seems to. I bumped the voltage up two notches (to, uh.. 1.80V maybe?) on the GA7VRXP I installed it on. It's run a couple of DVD transcoding jobs, completed them, and is now sitting quietly waiting for me to finish my next batch of rips. The only weird side effect I can find with the OC is...

IMO, the "tiny percentage faster than the appropriate P4 in most desktop benchmarks" that AMD implies in the XPwhatever+ naming convention is pretty much the only reason I find that nomenclature palatable. By and large it holds, regardless of which 1:1 set of CPUs is being compared (I admit I...

While I'm sure storageforum.net appreciates this fine effort to increase our page rank on various search engines through the use of terms not normally associated with computers, I think we need to ask ourselves if we really the extra traffic quite so badly. ;)

Just to echo what time said, I can't recall running into the problems you initially describe, e_dawg. If I had anything bad to say about Via boards it'd probably be that IDE performance isn't all that great. That's pretty much the whole list. "Skippy" sound when playing a CD digitally in Win2000...

Via motherboards seem OK to me. What do you do with your PCs that I don't?

You people all need a hobby. :P

When you get into the realm of $300 or $500 chips, there's less than $10 price difference between Intel and AMD (and Intel is mostly on the lower side) BUT that's also only a 2-3% difference, vs. 20% on the lower end of things. Point of fact, I also can't think of a compelling argument for...

You wouldn't like it so much if you've ever been there. Man those people are jerks. I made the mistake of driving over to Elmhurst to pick up some parts. Never again. Accubyte is evil. (why: 1. Didn't honor pricewatch prices in-store 2. Accubyte has me set up as a reseller, but wouldn't accept...

Where?
