Firmware Importance
I can't understand why so many IT professionals in this day and age, don't understand the importance of firmware.
It solves known issues and is released for a reson.
1. It solves known issues that have come out since the release of the hardware
2. It makes older systems recognize newer technology ie larger hard drives
3. The most important one is it can't prevent data loss ... i think this is the most important reason especially for PCs , Laptops and Serves
4. In Networking Equipment it will add functionality and even in NAS devices it is key to keep your firmware up to date.
Most of the big players release firmware on a regular basis and will even E-mail you firmware changes for your equipment, then you can go and download the firmware and apply it.
I check every couple of months even though I get mailings just to make sure I didn't miss an e-mail as that is always possible with the volume of e-mails people get today or it might have been caught by spam.

SharePoint Designer Server error: There is no Web named " ".
This issue happens if you try to remove FP2000 Extensions from a Virtual Directory from the IIS server
discovered in IIS 5.0 XP version.
I experienced this issue with one directory, while all the others worked just fine. The strange part was that I was able to open the subdirectories of the failing directory. With this in mind, I made a new directory and began copying separate files to the new folder. After a few files, I tried to open it with SharePoint Designer and this was always succesfull. When I copied one of the last folders - which was a hidden folder - I got the error again! From that moment I knew what the cause of the problem was.
When using SharePoint Designer to open a site directly from it's directory (like E:\site\ ) via the "Open Site" button, it is possible to receive the above error.
Solution to solve the error:
It is the hidden folder "_vti_pvt".
Delete the folder and all its contents everything will open like it should.
Issues might arise with FP extensions if files were in the folder but you should be able to recreate it if needed
