In ISA 2004 Enterprise Edition, one of the new features that was added based on user feedback was the ability to exclude certain sites from the CARP treatment. I've expounded CARP's virtues before in CARP and NLB . The problem with CARP - or more specifically,

aka Double Your Bits For Free! That's right - if you bought a Win32 version of XP and you're ready to move to x64 on your AMD64 or Intel EM64T-based system, Microsoft are running an exchange program that lets you swap over . It's still early days for

As a fan of the trilogy-o-five and a bunch of Douglas Adams' other work, I was quietly skeptical about how good the Guide movie was likely to be. Douglas is gone - weirdly, a loss that still affects me personally, as if he'd been a lifelong friend - but

Idle speculation.

Next time, run the setup on a fast machine, then port the Additions-installed VHD over. Duh. There's a reason the screenshot is one of setup ! It's been running since about 8pm tonight (it's 10:30pm now, and it's been 13 minutes to completion for about

The theme for this week is compatibility, brought to you by the letters W and O, and the number 64. In the PlanetAMD64 forums and on their Wiki , we've been thrashing out some terms for games that run or don't run under Windows x64 editions. My favourites

This doesn't work, as the MSI is coded to only allow "pure" Windows 2000 or XP installations. Faux XP-From-Windows-Server doesn't seem to cut it :) As I was researching the problem, I noticed that PlanetAMD64 have set up a new Wiki , so I thought it'd

No TV. Latest casualty: DVICO FusionHD DVB-T card. No XP64 drivers now (and not for a while , at least). So I'm taking it out and lending it to a friend indefinitely. I built a (32 bit) Media Center PC the other week, so it's not a total loss, I can still

Just a quick note - if you're planning on upgrading Windows Server 2003 to Service Pack 1, and you have ISA 2004 Standard Edition already installed, you should install ISA 2004 SE Service Pack 1 first - it copes with a few of the changes in WS2003SP1

Since my upgrade to XP x64, I've been looking for patches so that my favourite titles can benefit from the extra-spicy new registers, and other cunning tricks. So far, I've found I have one game that can actually do x64 - Chronicles of Riddick. Which
