Looking at the Microsoft Active Directory Migration Tool v 3.0. Any experiences?

New Project: Domain "bobiscool.local" has a bunch of users with large exchange mailboxes. I need to move all the users and their data to "bic.local". Both DCs and Exchange servers are running side-by-side with different IPs and DNS trees. I've done The JoJo's 3rd option above in the past due...

I've been using the new SmoothWall 3. You might want to take another look at it, lots of features added and a very comprehensive collection of add-ons with web interfaces.

Thanks for the in-depth analysis JTR, you never fail to impress.

Thanks. I did all this hiking and driving, so many beautiful views. This shot (my favorite) was taken while waiting in line for the bathroom of a gas station. :shrug:

I know it uses more power when it is on (I saw that show, too). The argument I read was that it "killed" the bulb faster to turn it off/on more than just leave it on.

Grrr. Looking at some of the others, there is a lot of dirt on the lens. Strangely, it is only on a certain location/lens combo, and not on ones taken afterwards with the same lens.

Looking closer at it, I can see what you mean. I think the horizon isn't level, either. Simple as it is, this is my favorite so far.

Proof that given the right subject, anyone can take a pretty picture.

Based on my few-dozen experiences with Amtrak, I would rule out that possibility right now. The fact that it can be an hour late and still be a net-positive makes it a good choice though.

I don't disagree with you, I just don't think very highly of Flash. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Your battery was "raptured", not "ruptured". Check your post ;)

explanation.

You must have seen it within seconds of the post, I fixed it within ~5 secs of posting.

Yup. I went back and disabled smileys for that post to fix it. ;)

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to hell...

Just got home from the trip. 750 miles in the last 4 days, about 1000 pictures (of which I like maybe 8).

I use the one built-in to my laptop, but a friend uses a TomTom and is very happy with it. I have a Garmin model (Rhino-something) for my boat and it works well. What are you going to use it for? Driving? Hiking? Sailing?

Your laptop is the "canary in the coal mine" for The Rapture? Thanks for the heads-up, time to get my repentin' on...

Also, from what I've heard, power cycling is way more of a factor than power-on hours. Some analysis stated that if you were going to turn the light on again within an hour, you should just leave it on (from a bulb-life standpoint, not energy consumption).

If you look to the server boards, you can find 12. These cost more than the board+controller, though.

Just disabling UAC goes a long way to cleaning up the user experience. It doesn't break many things, either.

Well said Gilbo. I sure don't have a solution...

I'm sure. And I do trust Handy to keep a careful eye on them. I just trust my backup method more ;)

That is why you need to backup all your data, even the stuff that is hosted elsewhere. Hell, having a copy of these forums wouldn't be a bad idea...

<dupe> quick reply bug.

Did it say the time had expired? Or did it just sit there spinning?

I'm interested in the GT for it's thermal profile. If I thought I could reasonably cool a GTX passively I would have gotten one long ago.

I'm off on an extended weekend. Half-Moon Bay, hwy 1 to Santa Cruz, Salinas to visit the folks, hwy 1 to Morro Bay, visiting my last grandparent, Santa Barbara, and back. About 700 miles. I may be posting on and off...we'll see.

Other than the lower power draw and heat production? I would guess that would be killer #1 on 8800GTXs.

Other than your general dislike of nVidia, are there any specific reports on the 8800GT?

So that you can drive while Tannin thinks he is.

I hear you, Tannin. I've spent a fair amount of time on your site looking at the shots and the lenses used; there is no way I'm going to buy and carry all that gear. And I understand what you mean about getting into place, I attempted just that on some deer the other day. Hell, even getting a...

In the page titled: "Let's Get It Out of the Way: Radeon HD 3870 vs. GeForce 8800 GT" The 8800GT holds a lead in just about everything.

On Sept. 11, I went to work. In SF within eyesight of Pier 39. I actually got in an argument with security who were trying to make me leave "for my own safety". Stupid cattle.

Mine might have that problem, but it lives it's life plugged in. My ASUS UMPC might have that problem, as the last time I tried to turn it on, it was dead. But it had been sitting in my bag for over a week.

Hardcore birding, Tannin style, is something too involved for me. Based on the weight issue (good point, BTW), I'll be sticking with the 70-300/4-5.6 IS. I'd be interested to know about how far that lens is good for birds and the like.

When shooting outdoors, I think "all I can get" the correct answer to how much reach I want. When I was out hiking with the 18-55, I saw objects/birds/whatever at all distances. 95% of them were out of reach. If I was walking around with a 70-300, 50% of them might still be out of reach. But...

So I've come to the conclusion that I want more than 200mm of reach. I would LOVE the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS, but $1500 is quite a bit. That leaves me with the 300mm lenses, either one of the 4 70-300 or 2 75-300 or 100-300. And I think IS at these lengths is a must, so that leaves two of the...

Hardly, uda. I used the cruise control at 10+ for the entire drive home last night (11PM). And my 45-50 minute commute took nearly 90 minutes. Madness.

Trying to figure a way to quantify this for myself as well. Here is what I came up with. Calculations are at full-frame, because my math skills suck. 200/300/600mm lens = 12/8.2/4.1 degree diagonal angle of view At 50 yards, the field of view is 10/7.1/3.6 yards diagonal. An object 6' tall...

Driving more than 45mph is "driving like a maniac"? The speed limit on these roads is 55-60mph.

Wow e_dawg, that is a pretty nasty looking image.

I can max both my cores without much trouble. HDR/Photomerge are the easiest ways to do it in my experience.

My Hebrew is very rusty, especially without any vowels.

My Gateway is sitting right here and Hibernate works very well. The one trick is that you can't choose "Hibernate" and then close the lid immediately. But it wakes up fine 95% of the time (occasionally loses resolution settings).

It was called SecondSight. Of course, you will have to put an exception in your AV software.

This is a question that I am interested in as well. My longest lens at present is 55mm, so something must be done.

Alright, I'll see if I can find it somewhere...we stopped using it when we switched to a domain.
