I assume by this you are pointing out that this kind of app is not for newer machines?

...and IIS, and RRAS, and AD, and...ugh. Has anyone had compatability issues running all of these on the same machine? SBS2k3 has some limitations I'd like to avoid, but IIRC I had some issues with SQL2k and Exchange 2k running on the same box. comments?

You't think someone would have written a general drive caching app that could be used with any drive. I don't think it would be that big a deal, and I'd like the ability to specify which files stay permanently in how much RAM. I know the OS does this to a certain extent, but I'm more anal...

Best of luck, all the things you've mentioned (and your motivations) match me as well. But I'm not ready to kick it (yet). I hope you come back in 6 months to tell us how much better you are....I might be ready to do the same about then.

ScoobyDoo2 in 1080p chokes my workstation....holy cow. All the others work great, no choppyness at all. And even better image running MPC instead of WiMP 9.

So if you aren't using onboard video, what are you using? This is what I've been using for servers, but no DVI. ASUS nVIDIA GeForce2 MX400 Video Card, 64MB SDR, 128-bit, 4X AGP, Model "V7100 PRO PURE" -RETAIL

Looking for a board with onboard video in the Athlon XP area....can't seem to find any with SATA and onboard video from a reputable mfgr.

Ugh, thanks for rubbing it in, Merc :P But I think she pawned it :cry: I was just in SF visiting a mutual friend...don't know what happened to her.

I'd really rather stick with MSSQL. If there's going to be a cost associated with the syncronisation, I'll just have a custom .NET web server app written to do the job. I was just under the impression that MSSQL 2000 enterprise was capable of doing this automatically.

Cash is nice, coins do suck. Anytime I recvieve coins, I leave them right there. At the register, as part of a tip, whatever. The number of times brick and mortar establishments give me better treatment with cash is amazing. Just pull out a wad of $100s and that clerk can help you right now...

And on top of that I'm in the middle of writing a paper documenting the increased security of a VPN link over SFTP....blah.

Part of the political process is that everyone works off their own database, and that information is then sent to the other users. Although having one run as the "master" and having the others sync their changes with it might be better. Here's how the data will flow: Location "A" will be the...

I'm still happy with my cash-only lifestyle....I haven't used an ATM in 3 years. I have a business account, and it holds a balance (a few grand) that I cover my business AMEX from, and cash checks out of. I'm quite the regular there, just walk up to the counter with a check and they hand me...

I started the Gay/Straight one. It's concepts of righ/left gave me some issues. eg: "Good" is left, "Bad" is right ok, now "straight" is left and "gay" is right or, now stright and good are the same (left) and gay and bat are on the right ....WTF? Is this supposed to be teaching bias or...

This is pretty much what I'm looking at. Becuase of the nature of the data flow, I'm not particularly worried about data corruption. And if the systems are slightly off, that won't kill us. What is currently running: The 3 sites belong to 3 different companies. Each have their own system...

I go to work for several reasons (reverse order) 3. I have no substitute...I don't work it doesn't get done..people get pissed. 2. There are no "sick days", there aren't even any "vacation days" I don't work, I can't eat eventually. 1. I usually can't tell whether it's sick or just a hangover...

I need a database to be kept identical on three identical servers regardless of where a change is made. I need the updates to be as instintaneous as possible. There won't be that much volume in changes, primarily adds. And the total bandwidth of adds, changes, and removes won't exceed 2kb/s; so...

Never done this before, but it souded pretty straightforward. I'm about to build 3 SQL Servers and set them up accross the US (Monterey, Miami, and Detroit). I need an entire database to replicate continuously between them. They are all connected to at least a 3Mbps SDSL line and will be linked...

Straight from firefox's "options" tab, with char. returns added for legibility. http://www.google.com/| http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4| http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=2|...

THat's a better answer than mine.....I'm don't have much time for work as I'm always posting on SF. Starting to fall behind :(

What!?! I can't hear you with all this....oh....nevermind

Nope, it's the cost of a programmer and a DBA for 6 months :lol: When I said "custom", I meant it ;)

The easier way? Get a reasonably moder f*in floppy disk. Sheesh. Floppys, like all cheap magnetic media, lose their ability to retain data over time. Floppys are the worst with zip disks slightly behind and tapes a healthy but still unnerving third. Choosing to use an old floppy is a bad idea...

I have a couple of Citrix servers, but they require MS TS licencing on top of thier licencing....making the cost really ridiculous. And I much prefer the MS client.

The fact that they will actually be using the terminal server as a terminal server makes it more cost effective. This app is very compute intensive, both server and client side. Each job file can be 300MB in size. One of the reasons I chose Opteron is so I can get medival with the memory if the...

It would be nuts, if this were instead of them getting new desktops but they're all getting new laptops as well. And terminal services licencing has shot down many a viable business model. But for this application, my client is fairly certain it's the proper route to take. Re: Software costs...

BTW, there is some margin in those #s :wink:

I need to build a terminal server (Server 2003) to handle 10 full-time users toing some complex stuff. What do you think? Motherboard Tyan Thunder K8W $500 CPUs 2x AMD Opteron 242 (2Ghz, 64-bit, 1MB L2 $1,400 RAM 4GB PC3200 (DDR400)...

The largest truely controlled statistical source I know of is Tony...but it isn't exactly comprehensive. Hmmm....Samsung good..... :P

You bet. You'll never see this info.

:P

That story reminds me of a fun time in a lexus in tahoe...it was fun 'cause the luxus wasn't mine ;) If you're one for practicality, I can reccomend a VW golf. Hardly a looker, but the price is reasonable, the power is acceptible, and it's more versitlile than any compact I've seen. With the...

Doesn't look like it will be out by next week....

I'm a bigger fan of european cars...what are your needs like?

Too bad on the ride, and congrat on your new one in advance ;)

I wish I had DID...than I could get over this "learning storage performance" thing. It's so depressing :(

I think your graphic fits that quote perfectly.

I'll take my Polish vodka anytime...except right now :(

The only time I try homebrews is when I'm at my sisters place. She and her fiancee make some great stuff. They started "because it's cheaper" and continue "because it's better". I don't think it's cheaper anymore, considering the quality of the materiels they are using.

Well, by midnight last night I was on to soup. ANd a good thing considering I'm off to work right now. I managed to watch a bunch of TV shows a friened got for me. Viva la bam (full season) Simpsons (first 3 seasons) Futurarama (First 2 seasons) Family Guy (ALL OF THEM!) I think I benefit...

Well, I think the secret is, if you're going to go that big...get something with wheels and a leash;)

NP, IIRC I got the suggestion from honold ;) Did the Outlook backup work for you?

Yes! The end of day 4 and I'm moving up the food ladder....Jello! ;) This is a great weight loss plan, BTW.
