running. When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but

Hall server room reorganization (we're being moved to a neighboring

2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like

- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'

2011/9/14-10/25 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:54173 Activity:nil | 9/13 Thanks to Jordan, our disk server is no longer virtualized. Our long
