Man, people really don't understand what a TPM/Device Encryption does. It only prevents taking the data off using another device to access the Harddrive. Doesn't protect if steal the tiny device as the TPM is there (and therefore encrypted). http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/940721-from-smart-dust-to-pocket-sized-projectors-pocket-computer-roundup?page=1#entry-4603092

It's funny, years ago it was the race to the top.. get the highest clock speeds, best performance cpus. Now, a lot of ultrabooks, macbooks etc are using Intel Core M low power cpu's with clocks of as low as 800mhz.
They realized that speed pretty much meant nothing.
Yeah. I though AMD pretty much proved that years ago when they made the better preforming and cheaper Athlons with slower clock speed than the Intel Pentium 4's which ran way too hot, used a lot of power, had a high clock speed and bad performance.
Intel proved the clock cycle problem when they made then Pentium 4 and it was slower than the Pentium III
AMD proved that they could make better stuff than Intel (for a while, at least.)But even after we saw that clock cycles did not equal performance (the RISC world showed that for years) we discovered that we had CPUs so fast that CPU performance didn't matter anymore as long as we did not keep bloating the software. Now we can run a modern OS on a Pentium III and it is still functional!

I love random questions that are like "I did this thing and it did exactly what it is supposed to do, what is wrong?"
Um.... huh

Those threads.. and the you should which every pc in your company to linux threads make me laugh.

And now a thread with a serious tin foil hat guy. Someone just posted that any business person with a brain knows that having services on the Internet is foolish. Um, yeah. And he's talking about how his "customers" are all leaving "the cloud." I guarantee this is some idiot who didn't research vendors or products, screwed up for his customers and blamed vendors instead of owning up to having failed.
This is why businesses don't trust their internal IT staff - if going hosted has failed, chances are it was your internal IT that failed either in selecting the right products, managing them, or just doing the IT necessarily to support them. And likely they will claim that nothing was their fault.
The more your IT department does this, the more you should be going hosted and avoiding the IT department that isn't taking care of you.
-
@scottalanmiller where is that?
-
I've lost it now. It's the last place that I posted, I think. Finding things over there is pretty hard. Once you've posted, unless someone responds, it's kind of just gone.
-
It was a thread with someone asking about a customer who wants to go "all cloud." Then there was some advice. Then some tin foil hat "only idiots use anything other than the one thing that I know how to do" IT consultant.

He also has a tin foil hat about IPV6 and doesn't want to ever switch as it will never be needed and he likes the security of NAT? You mean you like NAT to do your firewalls job?

Played some Tropico 4. Gotta be up early tomorrow so that I can catch my flight to London. It's a two hour drive to the airport in Malaga. Then a two hour wait. Then a three hour flight. Then I have to find my hotel in London. Going to be a very long day.

Dude would flip out here. Every single server has a public IP. There are firewalls for a reason.
