@ Des

Agreed, raid 5 much safer solution,

I suspect they offer raid 0 so it looks good spec wise, but I cant imagine anyone who values their data to use this alone.

Drobo has a 'proprietary algorithm' (shudder) for its raid & if you loose the raid, theres a fair chance your data will too.

@ Sarah B

Agreed, seems like it.

When Apple changed to Intel, anyone with a PPC Xserve would have realised they wouldn't be supported indefinitely, os-wise.

Anyone out there heaving an Xserve PPC (please)?

& for $49 you get...

5 licenses, thats er, less than $10 a pop

Even if it is considered a service pack thats a hell of a lot less than the 'service pack' Microsoft will push out to Vista is going to cost.

Whats more Ive every confidence that like other Apple upgrades, it will work first time. Unlike the tangled mess some MS upgrades can create

Stress And Pain

My invoice for £19,999 is in the post!

Good effort

Nice one FTC, just feel sorry for the (few ?) legit clients with domains on their servers

@ what patches?

Sounds about par for the course, I wouldnt be surprised if they are deliberatly engineered to slow down a system.

That & a good old sprinkling of FUD about security & so on, then sit back and wait for the tills to start ringing up sales of Vista SP2,

oops, I mean Windows 7

should be

...and your solution was this Viglen shite?

Your fired

Dear Mr Smith

Bing looks good for previewing porn, no need for expense claim

Nothing quite like

The smell of burning witch!

Good riddance

Im not sure who I like least out of the lot of them but she is certainly near the top of the dung heap

You cannot be serious

25K for a showerproof moped?

They are having a laugh, but April 1st was over two months ago

13 unlucky products?

Hopefully, thats every version of Vista

Too little too late

Dunno what took him so long to do this,

Blears & Darling next

then a general election

Makes sense

To block anything from Microsoft

a great loss, but

Im sure whatever she ends up with, they will be perfect, but meanwhile I could watch her play for hours

Christ,

The only thing I trust Microsoft to do is fuck up my desktop, OS & documents & now it looks like theyre into fucking up decisions as well.

I wonder how that would look in the boardroom, er well, um, according to Bing it said that...

Mouse

Their only wothwhile offering

I hope it works,

I suppose better late than never,

I suspect this is just one of several holes in the Microsoft security cullinder thats been plugged.

BTs wireless access points

Well known for complete lack of security & easy to break

At least BTs got something going for its Home Flub

Thank God

I dont work with the boring bunch of posters most of you lot seem to be, Its just a bit of fun to brighten up another day!

I had to get IFart or whatever its called, I know its very, very childish but, I dont think I have sniggered so much following a Reg read.

& as for the sensible ones, I have some of them as well - honest.

Thanks El Reg for the article

Dont make me laugh

How fucking ridiculous is that,

Theyre just using the statement to try and gain a bit of leverage

what utter bollox

My respect for Sophos

is dented

Im gobsmacked

"Lancs plod should get around 18 per cent of the takings"

Tell me, why in Gods name should they profit from criminal activity?

The money should all be returned to its rightful owners

Not only a firm hand on the wheel...

The mind boggles that someone could actually crack one off whilst driving!!!

MacBook

23 months old

235 cycles

100% capacity available

Cant see what all the fuss is about

Took a TM backup then all Macs updated no problems, it downloaded in a few minutes & completed without a hitch.

@ AC

"I'm sure Crapita, EDS, and all the usual suspects in government tendering are rubbing their mitts in glee at the prospect of this big expensive government project."

...To cock up like the others!

OK, but

Its all very well fining Intel, but if the EUs decision is right, then it must surely pay some of the fine to AMD to even the score?

& as for doing this right in a middle of a recession, well that just shows how much grip the EU has on reality, duh.

Is this some kind of joke

or what - check date?

It seems like Dell dosnt even recognise the existence of its feminine side:

http://search.euro.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=uk&l=en&cs=&k=della&cat=all&x=0&y=0

Reveals nothing but a few cables

Perhaps Dell is a closet cross dresser & wears its female attire only at the weekends!

What?

Like theyre not screwing sellers enough as it is?

Perhaps they ought to take a look & see whats going on around them

right century?

Is this really 2009 or 1909 - in fact it would have been embarrassing then, 1609 more like it.

& to add insult to injury, they expect you to pay for it!

Gordon Ramsay

Thats fucking excellent restraint Gordon, well done

What about that app

'Taliban near me' or something like that

as well as

A fucking big trowel to plaster over the cracks...

And what about

The lying, thieving, deceitful pack of toe rags otherwise known as government?

They are the ones who need investigating

@ AC

Info here but as stated neither lends itself to a remote attack

http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/442 which I read a while ago - honest!

http://www.nvlabs.in/

wipe the disk first...

Then physically destroy it.

I think the policy is called "belts & bracers" so you wont get caught with your pants down

Its long overdue...

sack Jaqui Smith

Regrets

To see people being laid off whilst the monkey running the show has no doubt made himself indispensable.

I think thant even some zoos would be hard put to employ Ballmer in a cage, not actually as an employee.

Typo?

"Microsoft has worked together with Microsoft to develope a secure configuration of XP"

That aside, be a good thing if they did make it available as an update as there must be a huge market for the refuseniks that are hanging on to XP

@ UK's most important infestation?

No but rumour has it Kent has his hand up JSs skirt

No VOIP?

Or is that cos the Microsoft client requires a cluster of Seymore Crays to run it?

@ AC - The only reason...

Im not sure why, but every time they build up the hype in the beta, the good stuff seems to get left out & what you have is a crock o shite left over. Wasnt WinFS supposed to be part of XP?

Which is why some people may ignore the security implications & stick with XP/2000

@ AC

If it shuts down every 30 minutes then thats no change

But If it shuts down every two hours, thats an improvement over Vista!

I think

The chimp shouting 'developers developer developers' should go

no insults to primates intended

No rush

To download anything remotely like Vista
