The attended installation process of Windows 2008 has been simplified. Until Windows 2008, the process of installing a Windows system included the basic configuration of the system. In other words the installer was asked a bunch of question he had to...
OK,so I was troubleshooting and odd issue with an FTP server and one of the things that caught my attention while using Network Monitor (on a Windows 2000 server) was that some(actually almost all) of the TCP checksums (originating from the server) were...
I have no opinion or clue about the accuracy of the article titled " Ten Reasons Why You Shouldn't Buy an iPhone"by Jim Lynch published at extremtech.com, yet it managed to make me laugh(read through it,until the end-and I hope you will...
