Number 10 BMW 1-Series Coupe 
The new BMW 1-series coupe is the No. 10 entry on this countdown. It's ranking is not based solely on performance (oh yeah, it has that too), but also on the merit of merging world-class German engineering with affordability. Implemented to stuff the price margin between the MINI Cooper and the 3-Series, both the 128i and 135i receive a cache of M-derived components with aero kits and sport bucket seats. Both variants are outfitted with a featherweight aluminum front suspension and five-link rear axle, frame-less doors to shave curb weight, L-shaped tail lamps with LED accents and corona daytime running lights. The 128i will feature a valvetronic, 3.0-liter engine complete with 230 horses and 200 lb-ft of torque, as its 135i sibling packs a bigger punch with the same block adorned with a twin-turbo, good for an even 300 horsepower and an equivalent amount of torque -- all for an estimated $30,000 price tag.
Number 9 Mercedes GL550
Number 9 Mercedes GL550
The luxury sport utility class has always been one that's difficult to navigate with the abundance of choice options, but we think Mercedes has an ace up its sleeve with the GL550 in 2008. Its predecessor, the multi-award winning GL450, was an exceptional light truck and served as the platform for the newer model. The German manufacturer has made aesthetic improvements over lesser-powered offerings -- primarily because there is no AMG trim to date -- that include a deeper grille, flared fenders, blue tinted windows, height-adjustable air suspension, and an enlarged three-pointed star badge borrowed from the Vision GL420 concept car seen at the Detroit Auto Show. The under-hood kinetics are also generously upgraded, tacking on 47 extra ponies that take the GL550 from a 335 horsepower, 4.7-liter V8 to the 382 horsepower, 5.5-liter V8. All of this and three-row seating for $65,000 -- it's no wonder this is a 2008 dream car.
Number 8 Lamborghini Reventon
Number 7 Lotus Exige S 240
Number 6 Jaguar XF
Number 5 Lexus IS-F
In previous years, Toyota’s upper-crust affiliate Lexus has been scrutinized for its lack of performance branding. In the fore coming year, the luxury line attempts to break this stigma with the IS-F. Lexus disclosed at the 2007 North American Auto show that the “F” designation was the codename for its very first sketch some 20 years ago. But we assure you this four-door should be a staple for future generations. Crafted on a highly modified skeleton of the IS 250 and 350 sedans, it utilizes an aluminum-block, 32-valve, DOHC, 5.0-liter V8, with an intelligent variable-valve timing configuration and direct-to-cylinder injection with secondary port injectors, amassing 416 horsepower and more than 370 lb-ft of torque. Above all else, the greatest ingenuity was applied to the world’s first paddle-shifted eight-speed automatic transmission. Finessed correctly via the well-proportioned gear ratios and the pilot should reach 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. The IS-F doesn’t skimp on aesthetics either, being treated with a bulging hood, sleek front fenders and vents, rear deck spoiler and quad-tail afterburners.
Number 4 Aston Martin DBS
Number 8 Lamborghini Reventon 
We almost feel it's unnecessary to have to elaborate on this amazing feat in automotive engineering. If you haven't seen or heard about the Reventon, it's time to crawl out from under your rock and embrace the latest and greatest in vehicular epiphanies. Shaped like an fighter jet, the Lambo Reventon cuts through the asphalt like a laser with a 0-60 mph time of a jaw-dropping 3.4 seconds. Which is not surprising, seeing as a brutish 6.5-liter, V12 engine pushes out 641 horsepower to make the Reventon both beautiful and deadly. With a price tag upward of $1 million, it's no wonder this raging bull made it on our list of 2008 dream cars, but even if it wasn't reserved for the very rich and famous, we'd still be dreaming about it...
Number 7 Lotus Exige S 240
The allure of the short-sport scene has always been the ideal power-to-weight ratio, and no one understands this better than the small UK manufacturer, Lotus. They have built on this formula by unveiling the bantam 8.8 pound-per-horsepower Exige S 240. Fundamentally, it's a two-seat coupe alternative to the Elise roadster with a little more kick and an enlarged scoop that was repositioned from the mid-roof all the way up to the top of the windshield. The Toyota-supplied, 1.8-liter, 16-valve, DOHC, supercharged, 4-cylinder mill that introduced the previous generation remains a welcomed constant. However, for ’08 standards, there’s a beefed up clutch and a bonus 20 ponies, raising the total to 240 horsepower. What’s so special about 240 marginally average horsepower? Nothing, save for when it’s the force behind an airy 2,000-pound machine. The newest pocket-rocket Exige will still maneuver just inches above the ground and with a variable-traction and a variable-launch control function, it can hit the 60 mph mark in 4.0 seconds flat and do 100 mph in a tick shy of 10 seconds.
Number 6 Jaguar XF
Jaguar and its parent company Ford, have nixed the mid-size luxury sports sedan S Type from its roster in favor of the 2008 Jaguar XF. Mounted atop a widened chassis of its predecessor and virtually a carbon copy of the C-XF concept saloon car, it varies most tangibly around the front head lamps and nose, with an oval, mesh grille circa the 1968 XJ. Although flashback influenced production has long been key in the designer’s blueprints, the inner workings have progressively advanced. The engine designations are a derivative of the S Type, but the suspension package and bearings, as well as the 4.2-liter, supercharged V8, are adopted from the 420 horsepower XK. A push-start feature, tuned exhaust system and a sophisticated, paddle-shifted, six-speed automatic transmission that switches cogs 10% faster than the outgoing model also seem to fit the bill. Orders will be taken as of March 2008, with a base price of $49,975.
Number 5 Lexus IS-F
In previous years, Toyota’s upper-crust affiliate Lexus has been scrutinized for its lack of performance branding. In the fore coming year, the luxury line attempts to break this stigma with the IS-F. Lexus disclosed at the 2007 North American Auto show that the “F” designation was the codename for its very first sketch some 20 years ago. But we assure you this four-door should be a staple for future generations. Crafted on a highly modified skeleton of the IS 250 and 350 sedans, it utilizes an aluminum-block, 32-valve, DOHC, 5.0-liter V8, with an intelligent variable-valve timing configuration and direct-to-cylinder injection with secondary port injectors, amassing 416 horsepower and more than 370 lb-ft of torque. Above all else, the greatest ingenuity was applied to the world’s first paddle-shifted eight-speed automatic transmission. Finessed correctly via the well-proportioned gear ratios and the pilot should reach 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. The IS-F doesn’t skimp on aesthetics either, being treated with a bulging hood, sleek front fenders and vents, rear deck spoiler and quad-tail afterburners.Number 4 Aston Martin DBS
If secret agent James Bond drove the wheels off it, it’s a safe bet that it must be a dream car. The modern Aston Martin DBS, not to be confused with the former DBS of the same moniker produced on the Grand Tourer coupe from 1967-'72, is the highest trim offered from the British factory and replaces the equally dreamy Vanquish S as the flagship on the roster. It is solely presented in a two-seat coupe format as opposed to the 2+2 setup in its DB9 origin. The DBS was welded with a bonded chassis comprised of aluminum, lightweight magnesium alloy and carbon-fiber composite. This marks the first commercially produced vehicle to incorporate such a considerable use of carbon fiber body panels for the marque. Escaping arch villains became easy for 007 with a hand-altered 6.0-liter, V12 motor transplanted from the DBR9 race car, tuned to dispel 510 horsepower at his disposal. The DBS, with its six-speed manual transmission and $265,000 sticker, hits showroom floors presumably this coming spring.
Number 3 Bentley Brooklands
Number 2 Audi R8
Number 3 Bentley Brooklands
When a manufacturer sends word that they are to resurrect a previous triumph, it's usually with good reason. The 2008 Bentley Brooklands is an example of one such second coming. Inaugurated initially in 1992, the Brooklands enjoyed success in the full-size luxury saloon bracket as the marque’s top-seller when the Bentley Eight and Mulsanne were retired, but was put out of commission in ’98 for the Arnage. 2008 will see the nameplate’s return in the form of a two-door, four-seat coupe. As tradition has it, the three-door GT will be manually assembled and adhere to a strict lifetime production cap of 550 units. The handsome heavyweight’s output is managed by a six-speed auto-stick as the powerplant is a dual turbocharged, 6.75-liter, 8-cylinder, which tallies 530 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque -- making it the most powerful engine ever composed by Volkswagen’s British arm, Bentley.
Number 2 Audi R8
Audi has a knack for leaking just enough spy photos and engine specifications to keep the consumer clamoring about their freshest inductee -- even years before it’s slated for release. We first caught a glimpse of the Audi R8 back in 2006, since then its exceptional performance and visual prowess has generated quite the worldwide buzz. Many have speculated it to be just another luxury sports car, but the German-based camp insists otherwise of the Quattro AWD, mid-engine supercar based on the Le Mans Quattro concept ride. The naturally aspirated, 420 horsepower, 4.2-liter, FSI V8 has already bested the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, Aston Martin Vantage and the BMW M6, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.0 seconds, a quarter mile run of 12.5 seconds at 113.2 mph, and a max speed of 187 mph. There are similarities between the R8, the Ferrari F430 and externally the Lamborghini Gallardo -- and these aren’t a bad pair to be compared to if you ask us.
Number 1 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead
Number 1 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead
There is something to be said for the credit of any marquee that has been in production long enough to celebrate their centennial in 2004. BMW fostered Rolls-Royce and threw their party at the Geneva Motor Show, unveiling the 100 EX concept car. This fluid sketch in 2004, heavily influenced the all-new 2007 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. The cloth top is a new addition for the world’s longest convertible, as the two suicide doors are a traditional remainder of the world’s best-selling and most-prestigious luxury saloon. Although every panel has been reworked, the hand-molded aluminum space frame cage is in accord with the base Phantom. It varies in that it has broader sills, a 10-inch shorter wheelbase and a slightly better tuned direct-injection, 6.7-liter, V12, provoking 453 horsepower, mated to a six-speed ZF gearbox. This limited production is the king of the countdown at a stout $412,000.

How To Discover Windows XP Passwords In 10 Minutes
TIRED OF SLOW INTERNET SPEED..NOW NO MORE WORRIES!!!100% WORKING
Editor's note: Jorn Barger of Robot Wisdom coined the term "weblog" Dec. 17, 1997 -- 10 years ago Monday -- to describe the daily list of links that "logged" his travels across the web. Barger's blog and essays on James Joyce and AI have earned high praise, but his opinions about Israeli policy have led to accusations of anti-semitism (see Wikipedia). In the decade hence, Barger feels that he's gained some wisdom of his own about blogging. Here are Barger's top 10 tips for novice bloggers.
My intent for weblogs in 1997 was to make the web as a whole more transparent, via a sort of "mesh network," where each weblog amplifies just those signals (or links) its author likes best. 1998-1999 was for me the Golden Age of Weblogs, when the following principles were widely understood:
1. A true weblog is a log of all the URLs you want to save or share. (So del.icio.us is actually better for blogging than blogger.com.)
2. You can certainly include links to your original thoughts, posted elsewhere … but if you have more original posts than links, you probably need to learn some humility.
3. If you spend a little time searching before you post, you can probably find your idea well articulated elsewhere already.
4. Being truly yourself is always hipper than suppressing a link just because it's not trendy enough. Your readers need to get to know you.
5. You can always improve on the author's own page title, when describing a link. (At least make sure your description is full enough that readers will recognize any pages they've already visited, without having to visit them again.)
6. Always include some adjective describing your own reaction to the linked page (great, useful, imaginative, clever, etc.)
7. Credit the source that led you to it, so your readers have the option of "moving upstream."
8. Warn about "gotchas" -- weird formatting, multipage stories, extra-long files, etc. Don't camouflage the main link among unneeded (or poorly labeled) auxiliary links.
9. Pick some favorite authors or celebrities and create a Google News feed that tracks new mentions of them, so other fans can follow them via your weblog.
10. Re-post your favorite links from time to time, for people who missed them the first time.
In this latest Rambo installment, John Rambo has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border, capturing snakes for local entertainers, and transporting roamers in his battered long-tail boat. After capturing a cobra, Rambo is approached by a man who asks him to take himself and his group of fellow missionaries to Burma to help the Karen tribe members,who are regularly raped,tortured and massacred by Major Tint's sadistic soldiers; with food and medicine. Rambo flatly refuses. Then, the woman in the group Sarah Miller asks him. Once more Rambo refuses telling her, She can't change anything and to go home. She leaves him only to return later that night alone. She asks Rambo once more, telling him that she's trying to make a difference, that's all she wants. Rambo reluctantly agrees and takes her and her group onto the river the next day. Rambo is taken with Sarahs determination and is only ferrying them because of it. He will only do as Sarah directs. He hasn't much compassion or likeness for the others in the group. While the missionaries are talking, Sarah talks to Rambo about his past. He tells her his name, John, and that he's from Arizona and about how he arrived in the orient. She asks him if he's ever thought of going back or if he had family,"A dad I guess," was his response before expressing he would not like to return. While traveling towards Burma, the group is approached by Burmese Pirates who after seeing Sarah, demand her. Rambo attempts to bargain with them to ascertain her freedom but seems to be failing. The Burmese man then points a gun at Sarah ordering her to him and Rambo kills him and the other armed pirates leaving the group shaken and afraid. One of the missionaries, Michael, scolds him telling him that,"No life should be taken for any reason." Rambo assaults him explaining that he did what he had to to save Sarah. Micahel and the other missionaries want to leave, but Sarah pleads with them to continue, Rambo heeds her. Rambo finally drops the group off at the riverside of the village and is informed by Michael that he will be reported for the murders he committed. Sarah stays behind much to Michaels dismay and gives Rambo her cross necklace and thanks him. Michael explains that they will be leaving by road and Rambo is no longer necessary. He then goes and burns the boat filled with dead pirates. The humanitarian mission is going well, until the village is attacked killing one of the missionaries and most of the villagers. Sarah and the remaining mercenaries are kidnapped by the burmese army. Rambo is then dreaming of the past years and is awoken by his name being called. The pastor from the missionaries church is there and asks Rambo if he can help him find the missing missionaries who should have been home 10 days ago. He continues to say that all he needs is Rambo to lead them to the spot where he left them and that his "hired help" ((assorted mercenaries)) would do the rest. Rambo wastes no time and goes back up river with the mercenaries in tow. The mercenaries are unaware of Rambos killing prowess and don't take him as anything more than,"Boat man." During the boat ride, one of the mercenaries introduces himself as "School Boy." After reaching the same point where he dropped off the Christian aid workers the mercenaries tell him to stay behind,that,"Boat man should stay with the boat." He refuses. The mercenaries come about to the Karen village that the missionaries were and find it completely obliterated. They are joined by a Karen rebel who will knows the location of the missing missionaries. They start to look for any sign of them when they see and army jeep approach. The mercenaries hide and watch as the Armymen begin to run the captured to their deaths by means of mine, leaving the mercenaries to do nothing but watch. One of the mines goes off killing a couple of prisoners and the rest run to the safety of the paddy wall where they are about to be shot. Before they are killed, Rambo starts to annihilate the army men quickly with bow & arrow. The mercenaries then help and after some Rambo Style persuasion agree to go after the missionaries. They travel into the forest and stumble upon an old WWII tall-boy bomb which never detonated. The group of mercenaries now joined with Rambo travel to the POW camp where the Christian aid workers are being held and stage a stealthy assault on the camp. They sychronize watches and agree that after a certain time they will leave, no matter who's not there. School boy had already sucessfully infiltrated the camp and succeeds in killing the watch tower guards. Rambo locates the missing missionaries and frees them telling them to stay put. He then sends a mercenary for them who rescues them and takes them to the the safety point. In the meantime, the rest of the soldiers are being entertained by 3 burmese women forced to dance for their pleasure. The men eventually begin to rape them. The Karen rebel saves a woman from a cage and proceeds to the safe place where the rest of the mercenaries decide to leave without Rambo and Sarah. Rambo looks for Sarah and finds her about to be raped by a man Rambo kills with his bare hands. They begin to flee, but are spotted by a guard who points his gun at a fallen Sarah. Rambo jumps ontop of her only to see the army man get killed by School boy who returned to help them. They make haste for the river which is very far from them. It's not long before their work is noticed. The army follows them with boats on the river, and several hum-vees filled with scent dogs and soldiers. The mercenary/missionary group continue into the woods only to suffer a near casualty when a mine goes off. Michael helps the mercenary hit and they proceed to the river in hopes of finding the boat. Rambo realizes they are being followed and takes some of Sarahs clothing to wear on himself and takes School boys claymore explosive and tells them to run towards the river after firing a shot to lead the men in that direction. Rambo then takes off towards the woods and is persued by the army men and the dogs. School boy and Sarah arrive at the rivers edge where they oversee the other missionaries and the mercenaries being beaten by the army men who caught them. Rambo is seen constructing a trip-wire type rig with the claymore and the Tall boy wrapping Sarahs piece of shirt around it and then starts to run away quickly towards the river. The army men are in pursuit and eventually come across the explosives setting it off and blowing themselves and the surrounding area away. Rambo himself is caught up with the by the aftermath. The explosion is seen from the mercenary site and they are setting up to kill the men. Sarah pleads with School-boy to do something, but an army man in a tree-stand high powered machine gun apparatus is nearby leaving him with no choice but to stay still and not interfere. Finally, the mercenary/missionary group are put into position to be killed and Rambo arrives to kill the man in the machine-gun apparatus and proceed to kill the army-men. The mercenaries then begin to join him. Major Tint arrives at the battle via boat setting a mercenary and Rambos boat on fire with large flame throwers. Rambo shoots the boat causing it to explode. The blood-bath ensues and Michael kills an army man with a rock to his head several times. The Karen Rebel brings more Karen rebels who all continue to fight. Another mercenary is killed and Rambo then continues to kill the burmese finally defeating them. Rambo sees a high ranking burmese Army man stumble up a hill unwittingly to where Rambo was. Rambo eagerly disembowels him. Sarah and Michael are reunited and after a thankful wave to a vailant Rambo, go home. The movie fades to a small road and Rambo walking down it. He arrives at a mailbox labeled ,'R.Rambo,' and looks down the driveway to a quaint farmhouse. He looks behind him to the road, then proceeds to the farm.

The other day I set up a new workstation for an employee in a remote office. We are a small company so I usually have new computers shipped to me in our main office where I configure them before shipping them out. In a hurry to get the XP machine out the door I did everything else except enable remote desktop. I’ve done this several times.
Of course as soon as the computer arrived the remote user had an issue with something that needed to be tweaked. I think I had neglected to set up his profile in Outlook. He didn’t want me to walk him through the steps on the phone so he went to lunch and left the machine on for me to work on remotely. That’s when I discovered I couldn’t get into it.
We’re on a Microsoft domain here. The computer had been joined to the domain before it left the building. The remote location is on a VPN and also has a domain controller there. Having a domain controller in the remote office is not a requirement but you must be able to ’see’ the computers in the remote office through Active Directory.
There is a way to enable the remote desktop feature but it took forever to find it and take care of the issue before the employee returned. You might be able to use this little trick sometime so I’ll post it here. There’s probably more than one way to do this but here is how it worked for me.
The first step is to make sure you are logged on as a user that has domain admin privileges. Logging on to a Server 2003 as the administrator works just fine. Next launch the registry editor and open the registry on the remote computer using File - Connect Network Registry.
Navigate to the remote computer in Active Directory and browse to this registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Change the fDenyTSConnection DWord value to 0 to enable Remote Desktop.
Exit regedit and do a remote reboot from a command prompt window:
shutdown -m \\computername -r
Give the remote computer a few minutes to reboot. You can now do a Remote Desktop session to the computer in the remote office. If you are unable to get into the remote computer via the registry editor then you might have to temporarily disable the Microsoft firewall.
You can disable the Windows firewall service remotely by using ’Services’ under the Administrative Tools. Use ‘Connect to another computer’ from the Action pull-down menu. This only works in a Microsoft domain setting so don’t go thinking you can hack into XP computers all over the Internet if you just happen to know their IP address.
I’m sure I’ve left out all kinds of details but this is the basic method to remotely enable Remote Desktop on Windows XP computers in a Microsoft domain. Questions? I will be happy to clarify in the comments.

We all want to get the most power from our computing resources, and 64-bit versions of Windows Server are becoming more common in the data center. This list describes some factors to keep in mind with 64-bit Windows Server so that you can gain its benefits and avoid potential problems.
Note: This information is also available as a PDF download.
go this site for more info - http://techrepublic.com
1 - Drivers are no fun
It’s important to correctly manage certain drivers, namely RAID controllers. They’re not impossible to manage, but they require additional planning compared to your familiar 32-bit management practices. Always check the drivers that are available for all hardware you are using on your servers to see whether a 64-bit version is available.
2 - Some BIOS settings disable 64-bit capabilities
Most current Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant systems have the BIOS settings configured so that the 64-bit setting is disabled. This is usually referred to as a “virtualization technology” setting in the BIOS. Having this setting correct will enable your installation of a 64-bit aware operating system. Windows server installations will not proceed if a 64-bit processing environment is not found.
Note that some installations are 32-bit and 64-bit aware. An example would be VMware’s ESX operating system, which will install on both 32-bit and 64-bit processor systems. Make sure you have the setting correct upon operating system installation. Also, be mindful that if you get a motherboard replaced or a BIOS flash, this setting may revert to the default.
3 - Task Manager distinguishes environments
You will quickly notice in the Windows Task Manager that 32-bit processes are denoted differently from 64-bit ones. The 32-bit processes have a “*32″ placeholder at the end of the process name listed, although a running process won’t have a “*32″ attached to the name of the file. Some 64-bit processes may have a “64″ in the name somewhere.
4- Service pack management requires a different approach
The 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 provide different service pack releases. Depending on your update management strategy, the 64-bit version updates will need to be incorporated and tested accordingly.
5 - Windows 64-bit computing isn’t a requirement
Generally speaking, Windows 64-bit computing is not required. However current server hardware supporting 64-bit processing offers greater performance than its 32-bit mode counterpart. Some Microsoft solutions, like Exchange 2007, are available only in 64-bit editions. High CPU requirement systems should use a 64-bit version of the operating system.
6 - Installation media management differs
The 64-bit versions of Windows are different media from 32-bit versions, which is fairly straightforward when purchasing retail versions of the operating system software. But if you have access to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Services (MVLS) with the online distribution mechanism, be sure to select the correct operating system version. The most current popular server versions, Windows Server 2003 Standard and Enterprise R2, are displayed as the default choices. To see the full inventory of operating systems, expand the tree (Figure A).
Figure A
When you select your edition, you can select the 32-bit or 64-bit version for download. (Figure B).
Figure B
7 - 64-bit Itanium processors lack support for client systems
The Itanium processor line is used much less frequently than the AMD64 and Intel 64 offerings. Microsoft still provides Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for the Itanium processor platform. But Itanium support is not available on client operating systems, such as Windows XP and Vista. Intel 64 and AMD64 are available on the client platform. From a hardware perspective, you won’t want to run a client operating system on an Itanium class system.
This alone is not directly significant, but it limits the inventory of compatible software available for the platform. Using Windows Server 2003, Vista, or XP on the Intel 64 or AMD64 platforms does not present as large a limiting factor. In situations where an issue is hard to identify, the Itanium version may be viewed as an “out” in trying to diagnose the error.
8 - 64-bit versions may add to your support overhead
Being on a 64-bit version of Windows does not inherently make your support situation more difficult, but it’s something to keep in mind. From an internal support standpoint, it is unlikely that all of your Windows server systems will be at a 64-bit version — so you have to realize that you’ll be supporting an additional platform. My current stance is to use a 64-bit version of the Windows Server series as required, such as for high CPU requirements or core application requirements, while maintaining the 32-bit versions for most systems.
9 - You need to know your limits
Microsoft publishes a list of limits for 64-bit versions of Windows. This is a good place to start if you are new to 64-bit computing. The main takeaway is that you can’t mix processes between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You’ll find the list in the Microsoft online knowledge base.
10 - 64-bit versions and 16-bit apps don’t mix
If any 16-bit applications are needed, you shouldn’t consider the 64-bit versions of Windows Server products. You can, however, configure your 64-bit capable equipment to run in 32-bit mode. This configuration can permit the legacy applications to function correctly.

Make sure you have the setting correct upon operating system installation. Also, be mindful that if you get a motherboard replaced or a BIOS flash, this setting may revert to the default.
3 - Task Manager distinguishes environments
You will quickly notice in the Windows Task Manager that 32-bit processes are denoted differently from 64-bit ones. The 32-bit processes have a “*32″ placeholder at the end of the process name listed, although a running process won’t have a “*32″ attached to the name of the file. Some 64-bit processes may have a “64″ in the name somewhere.
4- Service pack management requires a different approach
The 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 provide different service pack releases. Depending on your update management strategy, the 64-bit version updates will need to be incorporated and tested accordingly.
5 - Windows 64-bit computing isn’t a requirement
Generally speaking, Windows 64-bit computing is not required. However current server hardware supporting 64-bit processing offers greater performance than its 32-bit mode counterpart. Some Microsoft solutions, like Exchange 2007, are available only in 64-bit editions. High CPU requirement systems should use a 64-bit version of the operating system.
6 - Installation media management differs
The 64-bit versions of Windows are different media from 32-bit versions, which is fairly straightforward when purchasing retail versions of the operating system software. But if you have access to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Services (MVLS) with the online distribution mechanism, be sure to select the correct operating system version. The most current popular server versions, Windows Server 2003 Standard and Enterprise R2, are displayed as the default choices. To see the full inventory of operating systems, expand the tree (Figure A).
Figure A
When you select your edition, you can select the 32-bit or 64-bit version for download. (Figure B).

7 - 64-bit Itanium processors lack support for client systems
The Itanium processor line is used much less frequently than the AMD64 and Intel 64 offerings. Microsoft still provides Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for the Itanium processor platform. But Itanium support is not available on client operating systems, such as Windows XP and Vista. Intel 64 and AMD64 are available on the client platform. From a hardware perspective, you won’t want to run a client operating system on an Itanium class system.
This alone is not directly significant, but it limits the inventory of compatible software available for the platform. Using Windows Server 2003, Vista, or XP on the Intel 64 or AMD64 platforms does not present as large a limiting factor. In situations where an issue is hard to identify, the Itanium version may be viewed as an “out” in trying to diagnose the error.
8 - 64-bit versions may add to your support overhead
Being on a 64-bit version of Windows does not inherently make your support situation more difficult, but it’s something to keep in mind. From an internal support standpoint, it is unlikely that all of your Windows server systems will be at a 64-bit version — so you have to realize that you’ll be supporting an additional platform. My current stance is to use a 64-bit version of the Windows Server series as required, such as for high CPU requirements or core application requirements, while maintaining the 32-bit versions for most systems.
9 - You need to know your limits
Microsoft publishes a list of limits for 64-bit versions of Windows. This is a good place to start if you are new to 64-bit computing. The main takeaway is that you can’t mix processes between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You’ll find the list in the Microsoft online knowledge base.
10 - 64-bit versions and 16-bit apps don’t mix
If any 16-bit applications are needed, you shouldn’t consider the 64-bit versions of Windows Server products. You can, however, configure your 64-bit capable equipment to run in 32-bit mode. This configuration can permit the legacy applications to function correctly.

LG Viewty
LG's new 5.1 megapixel camera phone, the LG Viewty. The new touchscreen phone allows viewers to enjoy a wide variety of professional-level digital camera features in a single sleek handset. LG, which led design innovation in the mobile handset arena last year, is once again driving new mobile phone trends by shifting its focus to high-tech functionality. The LG Viewty is the first example of this new direction. Equipped with professional-level digital camera features, the phone allows mobile users to enjoy their viewing experience to the fullest.
The LG Viewty is a camera phone with unparalleled functions. This handset provides quality matching or exceeding that of conventional digital cameras, said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. With some of our earlier handsets, LG emphasized great style. Now we are focused on functionality and features as well. LG is always trying to identify unspoken customer needs and create new mobile trends.
With the LG Viewtys manual focus function, which no other camera phone provides, users can take more control over their pictures. In addition, the built-in image stabiliser helps record clearer images. Users can personalise their unique pictures by writing on them digitally using the 3.0-inch LCD screen and attached stylus; they can also use the stylus and screen for working with the LG Viewtys built-in digital editing software. And, when theyre done, pictures and video can be easily uploaded to the internet.
Borrowing from the high-end digital camera industry, ISO 800 and SmartLight technology help create bright pictures, even indoors and at night. Users are able to enjoy a wider and much more vivid display than with most phones on the market through the large full-colour touchscreen and Mobile XD engine. The handset can even recognise handwritten text input via the stylus.
The phone also records video at up to 120 frames per second, the highest frame speed ever for a handset camera. This allows users to seamlessly watch DVD-like content, even in slow motion. It also features a quick search-enabled jog wheel, which helps users quickly raise or lower the volume during calls as well as easily zoom in or out when taking photos or video.
The sleek black surface is one big touchscreen on the front, with the 5.1-megapixel camera and jog wheel on the back. And the intuitive user interface makes it easy to use right out of the box, with many controls similar to digital cameras.
The LG Viewtys highly advanced features even include the ability for users to create and edit their own video files right on the phone and then upload them direct to YouTube.com. The phone is also Google-friendly, with a fully-equipped package from the ubiquitous web portal for mobile internet users. Additionally, users can still enjoy terrific voice quality and high speed HSDPA connectivity at 3.6Mbps.
