9/13    Thanks to Jordan, our disk server is no longer virtualized. Our long

5/4     Any thoughts about apple switching to ARM for all machines?
        \_ Could only have happened if the Mac App Store had been a wild, wild
           success, and they were willing to give up Steam. Games/dual-booting
           is strategically valuable to not driving people away from macs.

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

10/24   Should Windows 7 be really called 6.1 instead, given that there are no
        big new features over Vista?
        \_ If you have to measure iPod by feature, then it really blows
           compared to what M$ has to offer. Only stupid PMs value
           a product by the number of features out there.

8/5     Why is Mac OS 10.6 $29 and 10.5.6 $129? Is it a typo?
