We use a combo of 12.5 plus relevant server agents, BESR (previously LiveState) and the relevant NetApp solutions on Exchange and SQL platforms. BESR is an absolute gem and well worth going for.

somehow it ain't lookin' right seeing Mal without a Browncoat....

Around 5pm. White 08 plate 197 with Black alloys. I turned right from Walbottle Road onto Newburn High Street at Pringles, you were a good few yards away from your give way line and speeding towards it, but I still had priority since I was on the roundabout already, giving me priority. It's a...

Utter tosh. I'm slowly waking up to how good Macs are for what I might need to use them for (mainly publishing/design), but "high quality components" and "stability of the O/S at it (sic) maximum" are spouting rubbish. Using a clean machine (a last gen Mac Pro) that's been set up and lovingly...

From that photo and from various reviews (and Nvidia's ever changing name/spec goalpost game) that card's the "newer" 216 core version, as opposed to the "slower" version with 192.... still a damn quick card an I certainly wouldn't complain! Antec 900-2 - very nice. Got the Twelve Hundred...

Well worth using. Header compression alone's a fairly big bandwidth saver.... automatic SSL's helpful as well, if your NSP offers it.

Not a bad idea, given the prices new.... paid 130 before Christmas for one and they're now about 160ish in most places! Still, it's a damn fine case. Rumblings on OCUK forums about some foreign hackery/DenialOfService attacks I think, but I've not checked since earlier Thursday evening for...

OP: if you're going for them, get yourself to www.solwise.co.uk and get some of the HD adaptors from there instead. Better quality and cheaper than the Netgear stuff and (in my experience) work a little faster. Also based on Homeplug/Homeplug AV standards, rather then Netgear's own "we want...

172, 182, Trophy - Vertigo Green I'll have a 197 in Vertigo Green as well please while I'm at it!

Smartnav here, 'cause it came free with the car when I bought it a couple of years back. It's never out of date, it never gets anything wrong, it redirects around traffic hotspots where possible and it can't be nicked without tearing the car apart. Yeah, TomTom's cheaper/disposable etc...

Hate to do a full message quote, but that's one of the most sensible replies I've ever seen related to this kind of subject! Personally, I'm happy with Vista. Also had well specced Mac mini as well, and although OSX was excellent, I just wasn't happy overall with the whole Mac...

Exactly! We used to do that for staff, but with the work we did that I mentioned above it was possible for us to effectively use the policies from our Enterprise Console, export those policies and integrate them into an .EXE, effectively creating a customised standalone version. Internet...

I'm part way through a rollout where I've specified internet updates in lieu of the individual sites being linked into our core network.... 100 of 150 sites done (about 2000 machines so far) and it's purring like a kitten. Even removes existing security software using the integrated Competitor...

+2 from me on that one as well. As said, slightly over budget but worth stretching to, as it'll hand an 8800GT its butt on a plate every time. Keep an eye on Scan's website as well, as you may get the same kind of card cheaper on there and with miles better service than you ever will at OCUK.

Sort of, if you run it as Media Centre Extender from a Windows Vista machine that's running Media Centre and has a Freeview tuner installed. XP Media Centre might do the job as well, but it's a good long while since I had XPMCE on the Media machine. Works a treat on mine.
