Beware of soapy frogs: Using IET (ISCSI Enterprise Target) for Windows Server Backup
Windows Server Backup in win2k8 server is fantastic - it's a consistent, snapshot-based automatic backup system capable of full disaster recovery / bare metal restore. I'm not a huge fan of much of the way the Windows servers work, but the backup setup is fantastic. With one wee flaw... Manual backups may be made to a network share, or to a local volume then copied to a network share. Fuss free, but only with operator intervention. Unfortunately, automatic scheduled backups require direct access to a drive, they won't work on a mounted NTFS volume or on a network share.

Commodore Computers "Commie web page
Commodore Business Machines was founded in 1958 by an Auschwitz survivor named Jack Tramiel. After some time in the typewriter, adding machine, and hand-held calculator markets, Commodore became first company to announce that it was producing a consumer-friendly home computer (the PET 2001). Before they filed bankruptcy in 1994, Commodore had also managed to produce the worlds first multi-media computer (the Amiga) , and what is still today the best selling computer model of all time (the Commodore 64). Although this once dominant company is no more, they still yet live in the hearts of those who loved and appreciated this early pioneer in the realm of personal computers. The first Commodore I ever layed fingers on was a PET-4032 in 6th grade.
PubsSPs
NIST uses three NIST Special Publication subseries to publish computer/cyber/information security and guidelines, recommendations and reference materials: SP 800, Computer Security (December 1990-present): NIST's primary mode of publishing computer/cyber/information security guidelines, recommendations and reference materials (SP 800s are also searchable in the NIST Library Catalog); SP 1800, NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guides (2015-present): A new subseries created to complement the SP 800s; targets specific cybersecurity challenges in the public and private sectors; practical, user-friendly guides to facilitate adoption of standards-based approaches to cybersecurity; SP 500, Computer Systems Technology (January 1977-present): A general IT subseries used more broadly by NIST's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL), this page lists selected SP 500s related to NIST's computer security efforts. Note: Publications that link to dx.doi.org/... will redirect to another NIST website.

Modern Microprocessors - A 90-Minute Guide!
WARNING: This article is meant to be informal and fun! Okay, so you're a CS graduate and you did a hardware course as part of your degree, but perhaps that was a few years ago now and you haven't really kept up with the details of processor designs since then. In particular, you might not be aware of some key topics that developed rapidly in recent times...

The Computer Magazine Archives : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming
Byte magazine was a microcomputer magazine, influential in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage. Whereas many magazines from the mid-1980s had been dedicated to the MS-DOS (PC) platform or the Mac, mostly from a business or home user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes other computing fields such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing. Coverage was... From Wikipedia: Compute!
