Great! No really.

So what's the problem? There is a market, let there be commerce.
Just because it's stupid (yes, I actually agree with you more than you will ever know) doesn't mean it shouldn't be offered.

Did you really just write this article?

first lets start by cleaning up all of the grammar/spelling mistakes. Then lets move on to content/subject matter. How on earth would a toned down Linux-based-web-only OS ever replace something worth 100 times its usability?
Please....perhaps it's time to write about video games instead.

Google Chrome OS - Web Optimized Browser On Steriods

Google's all in bet is that the cloud plus a browser will kill off Microsoft
Submitted by Mitchell Ashley on Mon, 11/23/09 - 12:55pm.

Google's laying it all out on the table with Chrome OS. My editor posted an excellent article about Chrome OS and we're already expecting a Chrome OS update from Google. Despite the distraction of a bank robbery and shooting in our city last week, I managed to dig my paws into Chrome OS to try and really understand what Google's up to.

Other options

Thanks to Symantec for investigating this issue. I would propose other solution to this problem which might be better and/or cheaper and/or easier:
- Upgrade to IE8 (since this one is not vulnerable)
- Use other browser such as Firefox or Opera (which usually have faster bugfixes)
- Don't use Windows but switch to Mac (expensive) or Linux (free) instead

What a loser comment.. All Windows and .NET are is pure bloat that slows software to 1970s standards.

There, my standard.

can't program the tab key itself

I have not been able to program the tab key itself. I.e., if you type tab in the Keyboard Shortcut field it actually tabs. If one could tempo turn off tabbing in lists, one could work around it, but the system preferences panel does not support that.

CodySafe Admin Pack & Launcher: The Swiss Army Knife of portable admin apps

CodySafe Admin pack and Launcher the admin toolset you carry with you...literally
Submitted by Ron Barrett on Thu, 11/19/09 - 2:10pm.

I have written the past about portable applications that Admins can carry with them.

I came across a new 'suite' of portable applications that are being touted as the Admins Swiss Army Knife, and for good reason.
The CodySafe Admin pack hosts 75 portable administrative tools into a single suite that installs onto a portable device and takes up less than 63MB of space. Within this tiny package are tools for handling all of the most common Admin tasks such as:

• Data Recovery
• Password Recovery
• Disk tools
• File & FTP managers
• Network Tools
• Security

How-to configure Cisco Flexible NetFlow for NBAR exports

Cisco has been committed to NBAR and NetFlow unification since 2003.
Submitted by Brad Reese on Thu, 11/19/09 - 2:28am.

Plixer International President and CEO - Michael Patterson took time out this week to assemble the following "How-to" tutorial on configuring Cisco Flexible NetFlow for NBAR exports:

"Cisco released in October 2009 an amazing new feature that ties together Cisco's NetFlow technology with NBAR (Network Based Application Recognition). NBAR performs deep inspections of flows in order to identify the actual applications being used.

"For example, H.323, Telnet, RTP, Exchange and Skype are now all identified and exported in NetFlow. Traditionally, only the source and destination port have been exported (e.g. TCP port 80) in NetFlow v5 and v9. Flexible NetFlow improves on NetFlow v9 to make NBAR exports possible, but you've got to upgrade the IOS (view Cisco's software upgrade procedure) on a router to version 15.

"NBAR integration with NetFlow has been done with Cisco's Flexible NetFlow (FNF) technology, not traditional NetFlow, and because the configurations are a bit more involved, I've documented the commands below."

NBAR NetFlow Commands

"Type in the following NBAR NetFlow commands, but keep in mind that on Cisco routers, you've got to be in config mode:"

Xerox's Alto is the root of the GUI tree!

Xerox's Also was the original GUI and you could certainly say that elements were "borrowed". It ran on machines with huge Black and White HiRes monitors.

If you are thinking that Apple's GUI (way back then) looks like an almost direct rip off, you are correct.

Microsoft's management and marketing are simply incompetent. They are more interested in the spin than making a good product. Their commercials make them look like complete morons that have no clue how to position their product.

Take hours?? More like 5 seconds. Powershell is all AD admins need to make "magic queries"!
