My CD Spindle goes quicker than my DVD one. I use them as driver disks to give to employees or pretty much anything I am giving away. DVD&#039;s are for backups (and movies!) but CD&#039;s still do a pretty good job of burning VCD&#039;s and AVI files that play in my DVD player @ home! Why waste the DVD if the data will fit on a CD? I DO use USB drives A LOT more often now as the one on my key chain is a 8 giger... Lots of utils and Simpson episodes :) Aug 26, 2008 8:27 AM http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/08/cds-are-new-144mb-floppy.html#IDComment4928913 http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/08/el-di-pablo-visits-set-of-chuck-on-nbc.html#IDComment4469473 Wow that&#039;s pretty awesome Paul! Will we be seeing some Bauer-Power or AskTheAdmin screenshots in the episode?? :) Aug 15, 2008 3:40 PM http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/08/el-di-pablo-visits-set-of-chuck-on-nbc.html#IDComment4469473 http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/08/fighting-antivirus-xp20082009-malware_14.html#IDComment4439223 Thanks for the tidbit. I will update my post with this information as well!

Funny thing is I spoke to a few other admins and they said they saw a single infection as well... This has to be the calm before the storm. Be prepared for this one to blow up quickly. <a href="http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/08/antivirus-2009-is-a-fake-antivirus-program-get-rid-of-it-now-free-from-ata.html ">http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/08/antivirus-2009...</a> Aug 12, 2008 9:59 AM http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/08/fighting-antivirus-xp20082009-malware.html#IDComment4400003 http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/07/vmware-server-esx-free.html#IDComment3507223 awesomely awesome!

I really wanted to share that useless info with someone, you asked for it. :) NICE ONE! LMFAO!

What are you trying to add Jocelyn?

You would have to go decipher it.

Then at the dos prompt type in your "net statistics workstation" minus the quotes of course.<br /><br />--- Jul 24, 2008 9:29 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/display-up-time-of-workstation-or.html#IDComment3343093 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/06/free-full-hard-drive-encryption.html#IDComment3305263 Same version! Funny thing is when it happened everyone said the same thing... I never saw that before! I Should go dump some backups to the lto library!<br /><br />I would have said it was corruption but it worked when we got it back to the same hardware as before. Wacky wild stuff!<br /><br />--- Jul 23, 2008 12:21 PM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/06/free-full-hard-drive-encryption.html#IDComment3305263 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/06/free-full-hard-drive-encryption.html#IDComment3273913 We had to move the trueCrypted drive to a new machine and could not get to the data regardless of what we tried. I wound up having to put it back into an identical machine boot copy off my data... I was then done with TrueCrypt.

I should change the example in the article... Nah its Friday! :) Jul 18, 2008 10:57 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/12/i-have-hundres-of-files-to-rename-help.html#IDComment3227771 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/gmail-says-451-450-smtp-protocol.html#IDComment3227061 Barracuda sends out units strictly with a p.o. and a 30 day money back guarantee. That was why I tried them out 5 years ago and haven&#039;t looked back since. We have since upgraded to their newest box. It sees almost 1 million spam messages a day. I have since got rid of quarantine and all that nonsense. Either a message is marked as spam or not. Our major issue was with peoples personal addresses like hotmail or gmail getting flagged as spam. But with a combination of white listing and black lists have me down to about 50 emails spread out over 500 users as spam. The users fwd those messages to spam at mydomain name .com and they are marked as spam. My whole setup was working a lot better 3 months ago and that 50 messages was more like 10. But as time goes on you need to modify your rules and roll with the punches Jul 18, 2008 9:55 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/gmail-says-451-450-smtp-protocol.html#IDComment3227061 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/10/amazing-tool-how-can-i-get-dropped.html#IDComment3227031 The magnet hasn&#039;t been strong enough to fluck up any of my equipment but I&#039;m als not sticking it into my array or near my drives Jul 18, 2008 9:53 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/10/amazing-tool-how-can-i-get-dropped.html#IDComment3227031 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2007/06/free-full-hard-drive-encryption.html#IDComment3226851 I had some issues with TrueCrypt a while back and never went back to it. Have you ever had to recover a failed machine with a trueCrypt drive on it?

He wound up generating blue screens and getting some crazy errors. We wound up reimaging them anyway. Is it better nowadays?

Email 2.0 Where you at?<br /><br />We get almost a million spam messages a day that are rejected at our Barracuda. But some of those messages get through regardless. What are you using to filter your spam Joe?<br /><br />And if this wasn&#039;t bad enough today my 100mbit line went down and my backup line was giving me all of 80kbps. <br /><br />Another 2 hours of my life I wont get back! I had to reroute all of our traffic over our other line handling email/vpn. When I was done guess what<br /><br />the 100mbit line was back up...<br /><br />Time to undo what i did...<br /><br />--- Jul 17, 2008 11:53 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/gmail-says-451-450-smtp-protocol.html#IDComment3202251 http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/what-are-real-it-policies-vs-what-is.html#IDComment3118101 Thanks for stopping by Mackenzie and adding your 2 cents to make our Linux fans jealous! But like Michael said above most shops ratios of users to admins is like 50 to 1. I sometimes find myself feeling like a baby sitter or teacher telling them NO! Bad user! No access for you! Am I alone? Jul 15, 2008 9:00 AM http://www.asktheadmin.com/2008/07/what-are-real-it-policies-vs-what-is.html#IDComment3118101
