At least you were able to save something!

If you are going to give you r business to your worthless

Do not advance him to a new position until his supervisor
in the old position says he is ready.

Hi RBowman,

Oh M$ Server is a horrible piece of crap. I have to deal with them
occasionally.

Since my customer base is mainly small businesses,
when I see them, it is usually because one of my colleagues
(competitors) told them that they needed it to speed things up.
One of my competitors talks everyone he can into an Exchange
(eMail) Server. Takes my breath away. I have undone two
of them in the last year.

And you don't need a server when you have five or fewer workstations.

I don't care for the "Cloud", but eMail works beautifully in the
cloud. Both Zoho and gMail have incredible spam/virus filters
too.

And M$ likes to put an artificial performance block in W7 and XP
to keep you from serving files from them. Here is the
antidote:


-T

REGEDIT4
; Optimize XP and W7 for use as a mini file server

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session
Manager\Memory Management]
"LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\LanmanServer\Parameters]
"Size"=dword:00000003

Okay, yes -- I have met the occasional person who has decided that his/her
moral position is so impeccable that it justifies rudeness, hostility,
and an astonishing display of horrendous behavior. On the occasions
that I am in agreement with the position, I am still embarrassed by the
behavior. (I have even been criticized as being unsupportive because I
didn't go charging up the hill after the screechweasels.) But I would not
stereotype or categorize an entire class of people or their ideology as

Hi Scott,

Oh yes you are correct, they did make some nice stuff.
I should have been more careful about the "past tense".

I do remember the first Compaq 386 I got. Loved the
thing. I thought is was very well done. HP were
well done back then too.

HP and Compaq did not start making crappy computers till
much later. Pretty much around the time Carly took over.

Right now, I tell my customers to expect the hard drives
to go out on HP computers at about 13 months. That would
be 1 month after the warranty expires. And they don't come
with media. And, and, the *******s wont sent you the media.
What they send you is an image of the original install (with
all their junkware included), which will only install on
the original hard drive sent with the unit. Yes, they
check the serial number of the drive.

My solution is to just sell them both a new hard drive and
a copy of Windows whatever OEM. I always give the disk to
the customer. And, I get paid for installing it and customizing
it they way they want.

It is disheartening to see to giants in the industry disintegrate
like they did.

At least HP Instruments was spun off. Their stuff is so
good even Japanese engineers demands tariffs be lifted
to they could use them. So there is an HP bright spot.

I remember when HP Instruments 25 years ago had a policy
that when there was an economic downturn, everyone took
a pay cut rather than laying folks off. The idea
was that they absolutely did not want to lose any
of their intellectual property and not have to retrain
anyone when the economy picked back up. Their instruments
were unbelievably well done. (And no Carly!)

On the larger servers, nic virtualization is quite good. Most modern
higher-end NIC's support the PCI Express Single Root I/O Virtualization
specification. This allows the hypervisor to grant guest direct access
to the NIC (without interfering with other guests or the hypervisor
itself) using virtual PCI Express functions.

There are NICs out there that will support 256 virtual functions
(allowing 256 guests direct access to the networking hardware).

Likewise, disk virtualization via FCOE or iSCSI over SR-IOV NIC's
works quite well. Again, on higher-end hardware, of course.

There is even one System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that provides 16 SATA
controllers, allowing direct access from up to 16 guests.

This specifically is KVM on a CentOS host with Server 2012 guests. It
probably can be tuned up but the care and feeding of VMs isn't where our
expertise lies. Xen/Server 2008 appeared to do a better job but at the
time Xen/Server 2012 had its i/o problems too.

It's been a learning experience but this old dog's patience for new
tricks is wearing thin. I can't wait to see what oddities windows 10

I saw Shooter in concert a few years ago on a spur of the moment deal.
The warm up act was the pop country achy breaky heart **** and I almost
left. I was pleasantly surprised that Shooter was as much an outlaw to
the current C&W scene as his old man.

Hank Williams III surprised me too. He can sound like his grandfather
when he puts his mind to it but he also has a punk/metal side that's
refreshing.
