    What's about Yukon available for MSDN subscribers ?

    I would like to have my hands on Yukon like many others. I can play with Whidbey Longhorn but what's about Yukon ?

  • Scoilnet down :-(

    After checking my logs, I decide to close Scoilnet for the day. Sad because I feel useless against such denial attack.

    I am not sure if it's related to the Mydoom story (well I didn't know I was famous as Microsoft or SCO;-)), but the imbeciles behind this forced me to shutdown the site for today.

    The log entries increased by a factor 3 in less than an hour so unfortunatly it doesn't let me other choices.

    Bastards :-((

  • Solitaire patented ? ;-)

    LOL. Thomas Warfield who like and develop a solitaire game has received a letter from a lawyer claiming that a patent exist on ... Solitaire ;-)))

    Are we going mad ? Are we going to patent everything, the air we breathe, the footpath I'm walking on every morning, the melody I just created in my shower ! Crazy world.

  • Folder permissions in Windows 2003

    Is there something special in the security approach in Windows 2003 ?

    I have really a painful experience with this OS on one server with folder permissions. What I want to do is a really basic thing, an upload folder where users can upload their images.

    Works fine on my laptop with WinXP, but there, not a chance. I really tried everything, including giving full control permissions to Everyone on this folder.

    I know it's not the best practice, but I can't figure out why it's still not working. The only thing I have 'special' is that the website itself is not under wwwroot, like I usually do in production sites.

    Any idea ?
