If only they had known where these technologies would go and who some of these people would wind up becoming!

Not as interesting as some of the others that you have been finding.

Seems like it must be a driver issue. Or a conversion issue.

So ObjC was a Next product, not an Apple one?

Now I'm going to have "Don't copy that floppy" stuck in my head.

@Dominica exactly. And you would be struggling to even do that. If locked down the extension would be locked by IP range and the phone would hopefully be blocked from making its own external VPN connections. So it really would only be a gateway to other security flaws. On its own it should do very little.

In reality, NT in 1993 was surprisingly modern.

@alexntg you are correct, however if people haven't updated like some that i know this is still a very real possibility

Lavabit was a company that provided this until they decided to shut down last year instead of comply with gov't requests to allow them access to the encryption keys that the company was using to encrypt all of their customer's data.

Worst than that, the owner was found to be in contempt of court when he turned over a printed copy of the encryption key in something like 2 pitch font.

If you aren't the only one with the keys to decrypt, then there is no point in using a system like this!

Cool. Thanks for the update.

I just followed this:

Two minute job and I'm all sorted.

Hope he comes up with the proposed solution soon! Would be great to see a server monitoring tool with dashboard which matches the existing trends 🙂

@garak0410 so it is working now?

Yes...still have to use the FQDN when using remote desktop VIA VPN but it is working.

Sounds like your DNS suffix search order's screwy or not defined.

@jasonh : Thanks for sharing. Intel and SamSung are pretty much the leaders in the market. (Recent Gartner report June 13, 2014)

SSD Revenues

Samsung $3.1b in revenue leads SSD sales - majority of revenue is attributed to PC SSD Sales. At #2 is Intel($1.4b), #3 is SanDisk($1.3b), #4 Micron($0.8b), #5 Toshiba ($0.6b)

In the enterprise, the SSD reliability reality may TOO match the report:http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/storage-soup/gartner-report-places-ibm-pure-storage-atop-2013-all-flash-array-market/ . Look forward to hearing from enterprise users of SSD (server admins, non PC users).

Enterprise SSD Revenues

Total sales $4.4b, Hyperscale customers are purchasing low-cost SATA SSDs in huge volumes whereas Storage Manufactures are buying higher quality SAS SSDs. SATA SSDs: Intel lead producer of enterprise SATA SSDs, followed by Samsung, Smart Storage, OCZ and SanDisk. SAS SSDs: WD is #1 is SAS based SSD market followed by SanDIsk, Seagate, Toshiba and Hitachi PCIe SSDs: FusionIO is #1 followed by Google, NetApp, LSI and WD at #5. NOTE: Google, NetApp and Hitachi use their own PCIe SSDs within their own data centers - no external enterprise customers

With SanDisk's recent acquisition of FusionIO, they may pose a threat to Intel's SSD market.

OK weird.. This one didn't let me edit it.. I choose reply and it made my text from the reply part of the OP.

Oh, interesting. I wonder if that normally works.

You don't have another laptop on site that you could duplicate that with no local admin rights, the adapter can be turned off but not on? I would be really curious of the results!

I'm about to create a VM for our Estimating department to use to access a particular software. The company only wanted to get one seat, and as most know, a single seat tied to a specific computer is cheaper than network licensing most of the time. Basically this VM will run Windows 7 / 8.1 and allow one user at a time to login and use the program via RDP. We don't use VDI in any way. Other than the fact that this will be a VM, it is literally no different than having a desktop computer that is always online.

My CDW rep is telling me I need a license of Windows 8.1 Enterprise rather than Pro so I can leverage the VDA usage rights. I thought I just needed a license of 8.1 Pro (open license, not retail) to cover the requirements here. Can someone straighten this out for me?

Correct. You'll either need to pick up a VDA license (recurring annual) for the desktop VM instance or put the computers that will be accessing it under SA (recurring annual), which would also grant them Windows 8 Enterprise. Otherwise, running a Windows desktop OS in a virtual environment would be out of licensing compliance.

And if I get a VDA license for the VM, does that then entitle me to a full install of Windows 7 / 8 / 8..1 on that VM even though through open licensing I am being sold an upgrade license? Or must I have a fully-licensed underlying desktop OS from which I am "upgrading"?

The full OS. VDA is designed for use with non-qualified accessing devices such as thin clients.

i have some gpo in my domain, but for a long time not recently
