What interesting is that during all these years, the knowledge level has not really increased.

I ask how to backup a Hyper-V and get the answer if you need a backup, you are doing it wrong...

or  

"What's RDP, sorry too lazy to Bing or read the wiki." <---- That sais it all.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Wow, just wow. 

About number 2, I'm not sure if I got it. Can I remote into the Hyper-V hypervisor? I didn't think it had any kinds of RDP? or do you mean I can connect to it by PowerShell?

Thanks

Hmmmm...your avatar seems to be dominated by the colors....Teal and Orange.

Since when is navy blue considered teal?

ps. I know what you tried to do, trying to finding an irony and being smug and all that... but you should atleast put some effort into it. Not puke incorrect factualities.

...Channel 9's theme is not about art, not about the looks... it was an order... I'm telling you... someone gave an order to do this and you all eat it lock, stock and barrel without giving it a thought.

I miss the old "original" Channel 9 theme... I'm sure deep down inside, you do too.

Not because the Live ID is hard to get or a hassle... but because that is connected to a ton of other CRAP I don't give a flying frell about and don't want.

I just wanted teh forums... not damnation to hell.

I'm sure you get my point. 

The reason is simple... the leader staff are clueless and don't give a frell.

I mean seriously, I even LIKE the ClearType but can NOT use IE AT ALL via RDP.

If I turn off the font smoothing when connecting to RDP... the IE damn better respect that setting as well.

Whoever made this decision, one or 20000 people... they ALL should be fired. YES, they all should be fired.

IE feels like I'm buying a crappy sausage from a street corner... zero quality check.

I used to absolutely love IE... the IE team FORCED me to use Opera. I didn't go to Opera by choice.

...and don't try to defend the IE team, sure they bring all sorts of bells and whistles, oooh look, I can haz 1000 fishes in my bowl... how about you get the freaking basics right first... we'll talk about the fish bowl after that.

1. Is it possible to backup the Hyper-V? Not the machines running inside it but the hypervisor itself? ( Not talking about Win2k8R2+Hyper-V but the Hyper-V "standalone" server )
2. If I install the "standalone" Hyper-V server on a machine which is say at an ISP. How do I update this thing? Do I have to go there physically? ( Again, not talking about Win2k8R2+Hyper-V but the Hyper-V "standalone" server )

I know that you can "manage" it by connecting to it from a remote PC via the Hyper-V manager thingy but that doesn't offer any kind of backup nor updating it. o.O

@turrican: What's your point? And glad I could help out

Shows what you know... in 40 yrs we'll all have PCs implated in our brains

...

The ONLY way to learn is with building your own project. On that road, you will hit a lot of blocks and problems to solve. Hence, you will learn.

@Dr Herbie:

The fact that its harder to tinker with cars nowadays also matters, it means that in order to have your car serviced reliably you need to go to the dealership, have them order parts from the manufacturer. And thats all very expensive.

I'm not a car geek, but I'd like it to be cheaper to have my car fixed.

Yepp, That is exactly what is happening to the PC right now. See 40 years down the road and you will have to send in your PC to the dealership for service.

Ummmmm.... you can sideload apps on Android... Easily do the same when you jailbreak iOS or WP7... C'mon show that you're worthy of your geekcreds and jailbreak them devices.

PS

I don't have a problem with companies locking down devices... There are crappy apps out there

You just missed the point and proved my point at the same time.

As soon as it's a "tablet" or can have a sim card in it, it's suddenly OK for it to no longer be "my" PC? I can't download anything I want. It's locked down to some kind of weird data mining marketplace to suck down all my personal info etc.

I recently tried out one of these Android galaxy phones...

Mark my word, if this continues... 10 years from now, we will all have little locked down "TV"s in our hands instead of a "personal" PC... as in... MY PC... as in... I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO AND INSTALL WHATEVER THE H*** I WANT ON IT.

And of course, forget about making an application and selling it on your own. Everything must be "approved" by the big corp boys because you only can have these "Apps" ( such an insulting word ) in their marketplace.

Get ready because Cable TV version 2.0... here it comes! 

EDIT : I guess as long as people can play the latest Angry Birds, they are OK with anything.

"11:33AM No root for you."

Hello Apple?

I will never touch this OS.

These colors are just absolutely awful! I can not visit this site more than 5-10 minutes before I get sick of the colors and my eyes hurt.

Atleast bring some kind of themes... that would do just fine. ( ...and no, I do not want to theme this thing myself by custom CSS and junk. I don't have time for that, just allow me to click and choose themes... 10 themes would do! )

My two cents.

EDIT : Or maybe it's the white background... hurts my eyes. Some kind of light gray would atleast help a lot.

If you're in VS 2010, you can do this via the property pane, makes binding a lot easier in my opinion

*lol* cool, I didn't realize that.

Very helpful to have around: http://www.nbdtech.com/Blog/archive/2009/02/02/wpf-xaml-data-binding-cheat-sheet.aspx

That is excellent! Thank you.

brian.shapiro said:

The most likely problem is the binding isn't being done correctly, because it can't find the property CheckBoxes at the data context

it WAS my binding... I needed to bind like this, I set a name to my root x:name="whatever" and I bind like this :

Text={Binding CheckBoxex, ElementName=whatever}

! :>

Thank you!
