I love threads like this, for this exact reason. 'My traffic goes through an anonymous paid for VPN service, so my privacy is protected...' - This isn't true, in fact it is quite the opposite, you are pushing all your data through a single endpoint, manned by people you have no knowledge of...

There is no chance this will work. The OEM installer disks utilise three elements to validate a OEM activation: 1) OEM Specific Certificate 2) OEM Specific Key 3) Bios SLIC Marker (version 2.1 for Windows 7) The OEM disk from Lenovo will contain the top two and automatically insert...

Since they already had Nokia in their back pocket, why not buy RIM instead? - Then you take out a competitor, get plenty of patents and have the brand name...

Awful advert, really just awful - and I am a very irritating twenty something hipster with a reasonable amount of disposable income (also known as an ABC1). I have no issue with them trying to be flash and show off all the best features but like others have said, it shows nothing unique over...

Wrong, the endpoint sees a shared IP, the VPN service provider itself can track everything...$40 a year does not buy anonymity it just shifts who can track you. Clearly you only read a small amount of this thread. The OP's question was far more broadranging than what does a router with VPN...

Again I think you are missing the point, a VPN router will give you the ability to connect to a monthly paid VPN server somewhere else. This will then route all trafic through the VPN, essentially encrypting it from your ISP's eyes.- HOWEVER the paid VPN provider will still be able to see...

Where are you tunnelling the VPN router too? Are you planning on paying for a VPN service? - I think you have completly missed the point of all the previous posters. This! I fear that you have heard VPN or TOR somewhere and think its some magic answer to your question, it isnt. There are...

That is a stupid whitepaper indeed, tries to imply that Dell has some involvement in the Manufacture - we all know they are just OEM drives with Dell Fimware, admittely they always pick enterprise grade drives. In relation to the original question, I have some Dell T710's (with the rackmount...

This! I have been on since you needed a .ac.uk address over here in the UK so likely not long after you, also fast approaching 30 and everything you have said is correct. For me facebook is over, I keep my account up but rarely bother logging in which is a real shame as the premise was...

I know everyone seems to bash IE, but for corporations its use is pretty widespread so it being kept up to date is important. I wouldnt be suprised if MS silently tried to drop support but not for IE10 - that will just be slow, but there is no chance for IE11 when it comes round.

You are thinking of a 220S - they are old tech/SCSI. MD1000's are SAS/SATAII (3gb) and nice units.

Yeah it was meant it in a jokey way, forgot to put the smiley but the professor bit sort of implied it. On a side note, over here in the UK drives are slowly reducing in price, there does seem to be a premium on the high end consumer drives that isnt falling as fast as other segments of the...

So professor, when demand outstrips supply the price goes....down? Your logic is semi-sound, however the reality wouldnt quite bear it out. The reason any manufacturer (in any industry) would allow itself to be screwed to the ground by any one customer would two fold, firstly to gain the...

High End RISC stuff does well because for the last 30 years large financial houses have built their infrastructure around it, no way they are going to change that now. For IBM though their software and service purchases over the years turned them away from the consumer and solely into the...

Was just reading the 'Whitelists' thread over in General Hardware and someone mentioned it was unfair to base it on such a small sample, and I agree so figured I would start a slightly different thread over here specific to business related brands and to generate a mini database of opinions...

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Exchange is also a very nice product by the way, its tight AD integration makes it by far and away the easiest to manage for 99% of Admins plus its tight Outlook integration means that it is preferred by 99% of users.

Domino and Notes...if properly configured...is a huge leap ahead of Exchange and Outlook. Generally though, I dislike the idea of having huge amounts of sensitive data anywhere I cant get access to the disks and physical backups, no matter what assurances are made by the service provider.

This, I have worked in the 'Financial Roles' noted above and knowing just how close the company is to the edge and very nearly being unable to pay monthly salaries to upwards of 800+ people is far more stressful.

Come on....really? Only watched the first 20 minutes of that but its not great, selective history based around supposition...presented as fact...the textbook form of propaganda? The New World Order theory is attractive to some as it implies that there is a grand scheme, no matter how evil...

This would be my next laptop, except Sony dont seem to supply the 'Y' Series in the UK, such a strange organisational structure Sony use.

Just noticed that SBS 2011 is now up on Technet as th RTM. Grabbing it now but has anyone else had a play with this yet? Impressions vs 2008?

Yeah I have seen some devices not allow x.x.x.255 as it is traditionally the broadcast address, even though it isn't always these days under CIDR but still...

The Seagate Dell drives we have do not allow for RMA through Seagate direct, whenever I have put the serial numbers in it just redirects you to speak to Dell. Odd that the serial on that one allows for the RMA process direct through Seagate.

Yeah its called Cached Mode, there is a little tickbox under the account settings.

I have to agree, why would someone who hacked the unsecure wireless be transmitting from a public IP, unless the FBI ar trying to Subpoena the user from "192.168.1.5". Its like the old saying there is no place like 127.0.0.1

Interesting, weird that it has never autoupdated to that, our WSUS server has Service Pack 2 approved too...might look into that next time the machine is down for maintenance.

Not much from the production machine we have, its just windows 2008 server (very slightly) optimised for large storage and file sharing, there are no WHS features in there really and certainly nothing like client backup or media pools (well not the way WHS utilises them). Its just windows...

We have a Dell SAN which runs on it, using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator. The iSCSI is really the only difference I noticed over running standard Server 2008, the file transfers seem the same speed and throughput as the other similar machines we have running plain 2008. There must however...

Yeah, my right speaker on M1530 blew up for no reason, parts are cheap enough from ebay but if still in warranty then just give dell a call.

Windows Mobile 7 Still interesting to see Office 14 has been pushed back...

Paying for 10mb down so pretty mcuh bang on... £40 per month for 10mb, Phone, HD tv and second SD tv box.

Dell do a line of their Lattitudes named 'ATG' which are Semi-Ruggidised laptops, might be just the thing.

SLA = Service Level Agreement SLIC = Software Licensing Description Table You got the terminology wrong but the main point correct, I am willing to bet that the CD will have the latest SLIC bios emulator pre-installed and scripted, which for now will work but not forever. To good to be...

Yeah, it is waiting for you to put the Dell OEM COA key in that should have come on the underside sticker. It was very few Dell Machines that werent SLIC's for Vista yet were sold with a Vista license, only one I have ever seen was the Precision M65. The D600 was designed and release way...

The D600 BIOS was never SLIC2'd for Vista, I assume you used a Dell Vista Business OEM Install Disk (Dell Brown Colour OS Disk) and it never asked for a key but neither without the SLIC in the bios will it activate, just give you 30 days to do a real activation.

VMWare doesnt work like that. It creates a new virtual machine on top of your hardware, using the basic template and virtual hardware. The virtual machine never actually sees your real hardware and so will think it has whatever the VMWare software is telling it is there, which as I recall is...

Temps - 250MB Employees - 2.5GB Execs - 4GB Warnings are sent to both at 2GB. Large Engineering firm so drawings and plans are often sent via email, both in and out. Primary Store is on a Dell MD3000 with 8x750GB Drives backed up daily to a ultrium drive.

GPO will do this on a 2003 box. Somewhere under Internet Explorer Mantenience there is a option to diable the tabs in the IE control panel, just set the proxy in gpo and remove the tab which would allow the end user to change it. Otherwise just change your default gateway (assuming you are...

http://www.storagereview.com/ST3146754LW.sr I accept I may be mistaken, it was just the onlu 15.4's I have seen are U320 and the only SAS Cheetahs I have seen are 15.5's. I accept however there may well have been a crossover in models/interfaces. I wasnt saying that keeping your cables...

Cheetah 15.4's are U320 drives, they arent going to run on a SAS controller. Also JBOD doesnt really count when its just one drive. Otherwise the Perc5i is a good solid card, wouldnt use it in a desktop as it simply isnt worth it but for a server environment it is pretty nice.
