You mean party lines?

Come to think of it I think I will enquire through work to see if they can add me in to their technet volume license somehow. Worth a shot but I guess I will do it myself if they say no.

The network tool I was thinking of is iperf.exe discussed here http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/7545-Windows-Home-Server-Home-Server-OS/page3?highlight=iperf You could just shove a bunch of data back and forth and see what happens.

I keep forgetting about that and I know we have discussed the benefits of it and being able to reactivate after expiration fine before here. On the standard do you get server 2008 R2 and Office? Basically you get every download listed here that mentions "TechNet Standard (Retail)" right? If so I...

Yes core upgrade = motherboard, memory, cpu, video card and in your case I would likely do the PS as it is suspect. You get upgrades and end your troubleshooting, win-win. Throw in an SSD too. Further testing for example would be looping 3d mark, that would answer the question of full system...

I'm seriously considering a family pack to cover myself just in case. Wondering about getting it now verses when 8 comes out and catching a clearance price drop which could be risky. Assuming they don't pull the family pack any time soon again.

I saw this trolling in twitter; Also lion server is $49. With site licenses for business does the cost do down for windows and office products? How much? Been exposed to MSDN and what a deal that seems to be.

I kept an open mind at first and gave it a chance before saying anything but the tweaking has made a good difference.

I guess you could start by checking the motherboard for bulging and leaking capacitors. With a multi meter I might check the 5v and 12v lines but that is a decent PS so unlikely to find something there. Proceed on to memtest86 and something like superpi or burn in tester. If you have another...

Dear American Express; Feedback sent.

They would have to walk a balance, too high and people will cancel and only sign up when new content comes up. Beneath some pain point people would just let it ride and stay turned on.

http://allthingsd.com/20120302/hbo-digital-head-alison-moore-talks-about-hbo-go-and-more-video/ News flash Alison, people really do want to subscribe to it. Nice dodge there. Seriously I might $20~30 a month for it.

Server 8 appears to be more of the same. Knowing where the shut down is in win 8 didn't help, had to resort to powershell to shut it down. It's like they have forgotten UI needs to be intuitive, but I guess windows never really has been that way.

Yep, this seems to be more of the same though not continuing or preceding the story line in any of them.

Prometheus is really shaping up to be something special. Everyone familiar with TED talks yes? http://blog.ted.com/TED2023/ THE company referred to in the early Alien movies was Weyland-Yutani.

I thought I read somewhere that microsoft went to a staggeringly long ten year support timeframe for EOL security updates? Going to be a long time before we are forced from 7.

Oh well everythings OK now right? http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/1/2835509/colorado-encrypted-laptop-ruling-moot-hard-drive-decrypted

How the UI is supposed to work. Seems good once you get that touch screen tablet. http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/1/2835346/windows-8-vs-ipad-feature-comparison

It's an option. I'm actually with you and don't care, I have been getting new things every year and handing them down.

Well I confirmed our monitoring product doesn't work in IE10. Not really surprise as it relies heavily on actives and a little java for graphs here and there. I see some actives controls in security though, I thought that was gone?

For example apple offers a battery replacement service for something under a hundred dollars, about $80 I think I read somewhere. The dirty secret is you have to demonstrate the battery is actually bad and when they switch it you get a whole new service replacement handset, not just a battery...

Thank you. No kidding.

I honestly can't figure out how to switch to new apps once I have left the home screen. Or get back to the home screen. Or on the desktop how to find the start menu. I'm frigging lost, can't even shut it down gracefully. At the moment I can alt tab between calendar and the desktop but I don't...

The windows 8 killswitch. http://thehackernews.com/2012/03/killswitch-they-can-remotely-modify.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheHackersNews+%28The+Hackers+News+-+Daily+Cyber+News+Updates%29 Actually this looks like a good thing.

I only have player or fusion to work with from vmware but I figure the latest fusion should do it. Still over an hour to download, they must be getting hit hard.

I guess I'll try throwing it in a VM, any tips on vmware settings? I was thinking of prepping it like it's win 7.

Western Digital and Toshiba trade hard drive tech, clearing the way for WD / Hitachi merger http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/28/2832060/western-digital-and-toshiba-trade-hard-drive-manufacturing-equipment

I hadn't read that they had problems scaling the UI to different DPI, have a link? Or is it more of a ceiling they have hit?

Speaking of which anyone still read BOFH? I don't but that reminded me of them.

That must be nice. Our field guys are generally getting something ruggedized and IT says they saw repairs go WAY down when they did that. I really really don't want a ruggedized laptops bulk.

I'm pretty sure thats the idea in todays dual core phone CPU's. I think there is even one that shuts down two cores and relies on a very basic third core while the phone sleeps. You can't get multi day standby without it.

I just noticed the forum software auto saves text entry boxes if you pause for a bit, upgrades are good.

Dell is out of the PC business; http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/27/2828339/dell-not-a-pc-company Wonder what that means for my company who is heavily invested in the business line laptops?

You've got to make the phone store sent stuff on the server in the right box for your particular account, discussion above on if that is sent, sent items, sent mail etc. Pain to figure out but it can be done.

Input devices and monitors deserve more attention than they really get.

Seems like they could use a customer service injection, such a small place likely can't afford it though. I would not be surprised if the whole shop is two people dealing with an importer or overseas direct. If you search their physical address there are about ten companies operating out of that...

That's about the way it is when dealing with exploits. Same on apple for example on the 3gs phone there are different tools depending on what bootloader the thing has. IMO if they found one exploit that worked across the board that would be a huge cause for concern.

I have paint missing off an Alienware keyboard, a Saitech Eclipse keyboard, my Nostromo n52 and my Logitech G5 mouse. I really don't like painted products but it doesn't really bother me until things stop working right, in the case of the two keyboard above. What is interesting is the G5 started...

I picked up a 32gb patriot supersonic recently and it seems normal sized for this sort of thing. It gets warm during use. Noticeably faster even under USB2, my other USB drives must be terrible.

Before I went with a decent buckling spring one I had several dell keyboards from headless servers from work. They were ok but needed replacing with sticky keys after eight months or so. Not sticky with food but just worn out. That left control key just takes a beating in my using constant...

Keyboard is a bit over four pounds, rest must be shipping material?? Certainly is metal in there, doesn't act like a sheet of plastic at all.

I have heard from multiple sources only the dual core variants are delayed, and only then because of an overstock of previous gen stuff. All else should be on time in quantity.

Sent it to all my friends a week or two ago when they posted it and we all loved it. On my calendar; .... to buy the dvd. Not going in a theater ever again, not because of the scene in this trailer but because of the degenerates.

A: Fugly B: Only a 101 key C: Connector unspecified D: Damn that doesn't look good Though you could ask for your other one back and swap the guts?

Santilli: too bad it didn't work out as I like their products. I wonder how things would have gone wrong if you got something that was actually defective? I admit I have never heard of anyone interacting with their service. Merc: question is how much bandwidth per month? Does sound like...
