| | Re: Microsoft Activation servers Why do people have to give smart ass remarks? I was wondering that too because a post that I read made it sound like, if we go try it and it is still down then it will mess up our Windows authentication. So, I wanted to ask that before trying it too. "Bill Yanaire" wrote: Quote: > Did you try to activate and it didn't work?

I have tried the software and it works pretty good, but the only number I called was their tech support. I have been unable to connect to Microsoft's TTY number and that is why I asked if the servers are still down. The software I am referring to can be found at http://www.nextalk.net/nextalk62/nextalk.pl?rm=homepage Thanks MachineGun |

You should understand the principle of IQ. Draw a normal bell curve that represents intelligence. There is a central tendency where the average intelligent people are found. And by observation you will notice that half the people fall to the right and these are intelligent people. The people on the left are below average, less intelligent people. Conclusion, half the people you run into in general society are below average intelligence. Another observation, the dumb people are to the LEFT and FAR LEFT, (i.e., Mrs. Clinton) |

There are several applications that are added to Win 2000 or XP that will keep running if the kernel fails. As an example, we setup a factory running on a small server where all coordination was done via a Windows 2000 OS with that application installed - ran 24/7 for 3 years without a reboot. In the industrial sector many processes are controlled by Windows servers and workstations - production would halt without them running. Stability is a matter of knowing the OS and hardware and not allowing ignorant users to change anything. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@xxxxxx (remove 999 for proper email address) |

So if a computer crashes you have to restart the production line, so what? When you have to design a system that has to be up 24x7x365 or people /die/ then you can start to wonder if windows or linux is the correct OS. As no windows or linux OS runs on true fault tolerant hardware you can scrub them instantly. Quote: > > Stability is a matter of knowing the OS and hardware and not allowing > ignorant users to change anything. Stability is knowing all the possible inputs and hardware fault conditions and designing the hardware and software to continue under any combination. Not easy as I can tell you from experience. |
