Hindsight of course, but the only thing I can think of would be to seek a moment in private with the boss before the class, pointing out the issue and how it would complicate things. Not that it's likely to make anything better, but it's the only thing I can think of. She wanted to be noticed...

swap the plug with the power led?

Speedfan has logging capabilities

It's 6:30AM right now, and I'm having to put on a sweater. That sucks.

Well, it was a fluke anyway. It's been 71-73 lately, and will be for the rest of the week. Saturday it might hit 76 again :(

Looking for a 2TB/GbE solution. Is the Buffalo TerraStation still the best?

My favorite is to get an insulated camelpak, and fill it with margarita...always good for those long meetings.

Nitsirk, One of my clients is a construction company (~250 office employees, few thousand in the field) and I've been their soul source of IT since they were 20 guys in a run-down house. It is always a mess. I currently have them using HardDollar, Cheetah, and Primavera Expedition; but would...

Chairs arrived today, haven't assembled them yet. I'm really disappointed in the vinyl chair mats I got at OfficeMax. I have a medium depth carpet, and the chair "settles" quite easily and requires some effort to move again. I'm looking at these glass chair mats as a solution. I'll need a...

I'd say that is a very nicely confirmed dead NIC. To be sure this doesn't happen again, you need a Killer NIC.(so it can defend itself) ;)

What is this "film"? 8-)

Coug, that sucks. I hope by the time you read this you are feeling better. Today was hot; like 75F hot. I don't like it that hot. It should be back to 71F tomorrow (perfect) But we went for a walk anyway. "The Dish" above Stanford is a beautiful 3.5mi walk that is quite pleasant despite the...

I like the look of some of those ErgoHuman chairs, too bad mine are arriving tomorrow.

I've tried to make this post 3 times, but I keep losing it! Here are the modifications I make to the P180s intended for my use (they are more significant than the mods for other people's P180s). Remove upper drive bay Remove plastic mounting points for upper drive bay Remove all 5.25" drive bay...

I'm 6'3" and 180, but muscle development in the region required is actually a bit excessive. I've never had issues with seat padding.

Looks good, metal and bungee...It will be solid until it fails (catastrophically), so you won't need to worry about procrastination when it comes time to replace it ;) I like the design; but I need a "high back" chair, one that I can rest my head on (I'm 6'3").

Damn, that is quite large. It makes me wonder about the stability of the lens-camera attachment mechanism. Obviously you will be carrying this thing by the lens, with the body hanging off...

I ordered it online, so I got a 90-day refund guarante. They are charging $100 for return shipping, but delivery was included, so it all works out. Waterbeds provide motion, but you don't have control over the motion, so it's only really good for lazy lovers. I am attached, but that doesn't...

I'm actually in the process of sending my Tempurpedic mattress back. It's not as comfortable as I would have thought given the hype; and the lack of springs negatively impacts my social agenda ;)

I had 3 Antec PSs die, all were Antec Truepower 400-550W units, all purchased within 3 months of each other. The last was about 2 years ago, with dozens purchased since then.

What you REALLY need is a LAMP arrangement with a custom web interface ;)

I just ordered a pair of these for the house. Look nice, should be comfortable. They are scheduled to arrive Monday, so I can let you know how they turn out.

Wow Bozo, that is really odd. What in the mobo would stop it from working? DC power is DC power, no? I have a bunch of the Antec Neos and they all seem to be clean sources of juice.

WRT54G and WAP54G are both great products. I've used a LOT of them and do have about 10-15% fail within 2 years. They are a cheap commodity product, what more do you want? There are aftermarket firmwares available that can up the power significantly; I've used these with success as well...

I think it's about time to turn my phone off....

Not to fuel any paranoia, but I wouldn't have expected it to blow up. I would, however, expect it to do some random thing slightly differently that may or may not affect your situation.

Bozo, The shoud is useless IMHO, I never leave it in. The fan in the PS tunnel is very useful if you are running multiple/hot drives. The PS fan is usually not enough to keep them below 35C (my comfort zone). Because of the limited space, I use only modular cabled PSs and SATA cables with a...

pwned

I read this and started laughing, so my GF comes over and reads it. Her response? "Why didn't you tell me about that?" ;)

The RAID-0 of Raptors is just for the Vista. The redundant JBOD arrays of Seagate Barracudas is for stuff I care about.

Considering the process of upgrading is the pain, I wouldn't think of upgrading to 2003. That just means you'll have another upgrade even sooner. If you have Access 2007, this would be really easy to try out. Otherwise, I happen to have just upgraded and could take a look.

I suspect that Access 2007 is a bit new to have many experiences with it. But this seems a pretty easy thing to test; how big is the data set and how many users do you have?

My experience with VMs has been mixed. Unless the machines are idle most of the time, or have a core/RAM/HDD all to themselves, the performance has been lacking. Also, MS' tech support guys won't guarantee a fix on a VM. They will provide their "best efforts" and thats it.

I would set up a system where the other two machines grab a copy of the data at scheduled intervals. Free, easy, and double-redundant. The SyncToy that Merc referred to looks great.

I'll second Merc; scratches aren't your problem, the media available these days just sucks. I remember reading somewhere that the best way to archive something is to keep it on hard drives that are well taken care of.

Sure there is. Tearing off the front end of your brother's million-dollar sports car!

My favorite statistic from that car: Zero to 200 mph (322 km/h): 20.2 s

JPGs aren't going to compress much no matter what, so you are probably looking at a 25GB dataset. 5-6 DVDs. Be sure that the program you are using will create multi-volume sets so you don't have to break it down manually.

Expensive and simple? Sounds like a fun project. Step one would be getting everything onto a single file store. If people are saving to their desktops, nothing will save them. Server 2003's shadow copy/previous versions might be the best way to go; considering AutoDesk needs direct file-level...

What amount of data are we talking about? These days, most document collections don't need compression at all. Obviously, if it is over 4.7GB than compression could be worthwhile. As far as redundancy goes, why not just make multiple copies, stored in multiple places?

Thanks sechs.

I've helped companies recover from a few of these. I haven't had any positive experiences with any of them.

I didn't have enough PCI slots to hold enough iRAMs for Vista...

There is a different kernel for single and multi processor systems

Transport tycoon is a great game, and there is still an active community around it, doing new graphics and hacks to allow more flexibility.

Yay. Looking forward to it.

?

Wow, that is more than I expected. I've done about 750k miles in the last 10 years, and the only windshield I've had to replace was when my mother kicked it from the passenger seat.

What is wrong with the one that comes with windows? What additional features are you looking for?

Some people need help, others would appreciate some help, go find them ;)
