Santhosh got me thinking when I read his recent blog post about confusion surrounding acronymns like RMS and SRS . I was thinking of how many other such dual-purpose labels exist in our technology world. Let's see... SMS = Systems Management Server...
After almost fifteen years of intimate working with Autodesk as a partner-developer, and now working in the more generalized area of IT with Microsoft and [VMWare] solution offerings, I've come to understand a few things about the nature of the geographic...
I get pulled into a lot of different types of situations where I'm asked to write a script to query information from remote computers or Active Directory, etc. There are obviously an unlimited number of variations that can ensue, however, I've found that...

Anyone that has had any interest in SSD (that's Solid State Drives) has heard about the frightening limitations on maximum cummulative disk writes. Better known as "write endurance", this refers to the maximum number of times a write operation can commit...
