If you aren't getting responses to your questions, there are a
number of things you can do -- delete it and try again in a different
topic area, or increase the points. But there's one other option:
ask the Page Editor for help.
So how do you get ahold of him or her? To the left of your browser
window, you'll see a box with the name of the Page Editor for whichever
topic area you're in. You can click on the name of the Page Editor,
and some of them have their email addresses listed in their profiles.
You can also put the Page Editor's name in front of
@experts-exchange.com and you'll reach him/her via email. Then just ask
the Page Editor to look in on your question. Make sure to include the
URL in your request.
Sun sets new benchmark records:
Last month, Sun announced the new world record
SPEC OMPM2001 results in the two- and four-thread categories, outperforming
comparably configured IBM and HP servers equipped with Power5 and Alpha
processors, respectively.
There are a couple of pretty interesting questions in the Solaris topic
area that could use some attention. The first has to do with transferring some
log files from a Linux server, through a Solaris server to a Windows server
using a script on the Solaris server. The other question has to do with setting up a Sun
server so it will get past the POST text. Any help would be appreciated.
I want to pass along some special recognition to neteducation, who
runs a company in Switzerland that provides training on Sun computers. He was
the top Expert in Solaris for the first two weeks in April, and in this question he
wrote a nice, clean description of how to install and test a new backup
device. Nice job, neteducation!

The boss put in a note above about how Microsoft
has found yet another bunch of holes that it's going to patch, but according
to Sophos, you also have to watch out for a fake Microsoft security
update website that delivers a Trojan horse to your computer. You'll get
an email saying you should update your computer; that's the sign that you're
being targeted. Microsoft doesn't send out emails to tell you to look for
patches -- you either set your computer to update automatically, or you click
the Windows Update item in your Start menu or under Tools on your browser.
The National Do Not Call
Registry has been extended to include cell phones. One thing you have to
remember is that, after you register, if you don't click on the link in each
email within 72 hours, your phone number will not be registered. Also, if you
don't get a "Registration Complete" message after clicking on the link, or the
link does not work, use your copy/paste functions to insert the entire link from
the email into the Address line on your Web browser. Copy and paste the entire
link - it's long. Don't try to re-type it. This browser window does not need to
remain open to complete the registration process once you've gone to the page.
ISPs are finally taking some responsibility for the amount of spam we all
get. Both
Earthlink and AOL are beginning to implement procedures that will require
users to use a password when they send emails, in an effort to cut down on
the use by spammers of zombie machines. AOL estimates that zombie machines are
responsible for 90 per cent of the spam out there, so if the ISPs can keep it
from going out, we might not get so much of it.
Speaking of spam, I found this article about the President's email
and how he doesn't use it. So what do you think the odds are that the email
address listed here, or that
anything sent using this
form actually reaches someone does?
