TIP OF THE DAY:  A domain by any other name...
Deploying an Active Directory based network often means you get to pick the name of the domain(s) used in your environment. Often, when we name private network domains, we tend to lean towards official fully qualified domain name (FQDN) constructions that would be valid on the Internet. However, we need not do so. Active Directory does rely upon DNS to function. But DNS does not require you to use only the Internet-legal top level domain names.



The Missing Link

Of all the optic nerve! Computer use, glaucoma linked
[Reuters]
This is the kind of news that doesn't exactly make a cubicle rat's day. Scientists in Japan have determined that long hours in front of a computer screen (sound familiar?) can raise the risk of glaucoma. Those poor peepers, those overworked orbs can only take so much. So if you're not worried about carpal tunnel syndrome anymore, you now have something else to obsess about.
