I'm beginning to really despise my "networks" class, especially the main assignment.:cursin: eg. Task 3, design a 3 network WAN, and demonstrate RIPv1 with routing in Cisco Packet Tracer. In a written report, explain the network setup (including all network IP address allocations), explain in...

To second Merc, the 3-4 people I know who do home video editing all use Sony Vegas. They all say decent things about it.

Walked into a Dick Smith store today to buy same canned air (to clean out my wife's laptop, mainly the HSF), and apparently the store (and most DSE stores) no longer stock it! They recommended I go to Jaycar? ** Dick Smith is similar to the old Tandy/Radio Shack stores here in Australia.

Actually I don't see this being enforced too hard... Big corpoare buy 10Ks of boxes from OEM and want to install their own Win7 image... and they can't do that. Big corporate changes OEMs... As I said, not going to be enforced too hard. (At most, just go into the BIOS, and disable it).

That was the whole purpose of the CIL and CLR with .NET. (Apps written against .NET are compiled to bytecode like Java, and the CIL compiler compiles it to native code at runtime - hence why for most .NET apps you get a severe lag when starting them for the first time). Any app written with C#...

I understand the paradigm being used by not having a 'close' button, eg same as mobile phones, however what's the policy on Windows killing applications? My concern is when Windows get's it wrong? Will it kill your main business app, that you had minimised for 30mins, just because you were at...

I just showed my wife Win8 with Metro, and she threatened physical violence against me if I even dared to install it on her laptop... Having played with it for about an hour, there are a few very poor human interface decisions being made... even to the point of how to close an application (one...

In what respect, bad?

Sorry to hear things haven't picked up for you. Hope it doesn't take too long to find suitable work. ;-)

Kids and Star Wars Thanks for the input. My wife and I have decided that Star Wars can wait a few years for him. He seems to be happy with Finding Nemo, Cars, Open Season, Flushed Away and other Pixar (and similar) kid movies. Also since our daughter is still under 2, it's not good for her to...

Just like to ask a quick question of the parents, or others who look after nieces and nephews in the forum... At what age do you think it would be acceptable to let a child watch Star Wars? (Not ep2 or ep3, but the original ep4, 5, and 6). My wife were talking about what we should be letting...

Hi Coug, Any update on this? Have you managed to get this sorted out? (Hope it's gone well, and your business has picked up a little).

Surely you jest? As it is widely known that Cricket at one time was Canada's official national sport! :mrgrn: http://www.canadiancricket.org/cricket-canada

Haven't had any snakes yet, but with all the property development and associated land clearing going on in our area, we're expecting to see a few brown's to come out this summer... (the last one I saw on a walk was just over a 1m long). Most of the land around us is farm land, but a lot of this...

On aspect of IVB I'm interested in is the power saving coming from the die shrink to 22nm, and the way it will trickle down to other CPUs including Celeron's and Atoms. Would be nice to get an i3 based Celeron in the same power envelope as a current generation Atom (that is under 10W), since the...

Also don't forget this will be very handy for web servers as well for SSL operations. It means for each new session won't have to spend as much time generating a new key to handle the encryption between hosts, and couple that with the AES-NI instruction set, most, and if not all crypto is now...

PNRG in high volume are typically in different crypto systems that use aged or cyclic keys.

Crikey! but alas unlikely...

Must be our week for saving little critters. We pulled a 35cm long blue tongue lizard from our rock wall next the house and needed to relocate him to a more suitable location... They're not poisonous, but can give a nasty bite. (and we didn't want our dog attempting to take it on)...

Yep, just ask those in Zimbabwae. When they got paid at the start of the week (which was enough to cover rent, fuel, food, etc quite easily), the value of the same amount at the end of the week would barely buy a loaf of bread... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar

Nice article on Anandtech with some details on the upcoming Ivy Bridge CPUs from Intel. Main points: These are built using a 22nm process, which leads to improved power consumption. Better onboard GPU. Backwards compatible with current socket 1155 systems (may need a BIOS flash), but will will...

This one. For Exchange based connections the server holds all the client configuration.

Not intentionally. However, since WinXP is nearing EOL, I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of testing and quality control would start to lapse slightly...

Happy Programmers Day Just like to wish all the programmers amongst this group a "Happy Programmers Day"! ;) https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Programmers%27_Day

You're correct, AMD introduced the IMC with the original Athlon64 and Opteron (Clawhammer and Sledgehammer CPUs) back in 2003. I've never seen just the IMC fail, it's always been the entire CPU fail. Mind you, if the IMC is flakey, the internal POST (within the CPU) should have picked that one up.

They did it a few years ago the introduction of the Core i-Series (i3, i5 and i7).

Besides the smell, quite good. Very quiet, easy to deal with, and doesn't ask for much. And it kept the kids excited for the evening.

I had a turtle stay in our bath last night. He is now safely at the local duck pond.

Samsung is a Korean based company... ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung

The last company I worked for, one of their software products output raw PCL for printing, before passing it onto the printer (the software has legacy components that go back to DOS 5 era). The 1 printer model that the company refused to support was Samsung printers - apparently their PCL...

Sure can... ;-)

I'm sorry tugless, but without more information it'll be hard to give you an answer. What make / models are we talking about and what storage system including fs?

Unfortunately corrupted data is corrupted data. The only time not compressing your data will save you is when dealing with plain ASCII text files, but since the majority of files these days are in some form of binary format, you're hosed either way. In one respect using some form of compression...

And that is one of the reasons why I won't touch Samsung products anymore. (And I'll starting to sound like Merc in relation to certain drive manufacturers and S*nym, but my bais is againt Samsung). Mind you, Samsung have managed to p*ss off certain companies that they make products for, namely...

None that I am aware of. The software in windows won't, this all has to be done in the BIOS... This is contra to most other hardware based RAID cards...

Same answer as above. Since it's got an OS instance on itm it'll have the boot loader partition there...

As Bozo mentions, I agree use the Intel RAID, rather than the Win7 one. As for your other questions: Yes you will the lot if you use Intel RAID. For the Intel RAID method, you'll need to completely reinstall Windows and all applications. I'm unsure if you'll need the RAID Disk Driver on a USB...

Works fine.

My BMI has always been high - even when I was running 1/2 marathons according to my BMI I was obese. However if one actually reads the history of the BMI and how it came about, it had *nothing* to do with medical health. It was a statisical calculation based on averages, which over 50% of the...

PS. My only word of advice when dealing with HP support on the business side, is make sure you have already run the system diagnostics (that are located in the BIOS) before you call, and have an error number ready. (Code 7 for HDDs will always get you a new HDD). The built in tests include HDD...

We used to cring when we saw a HP dv* class laptop on the order, knowing full well that we would see it back before the warranty expired and support would be difficult. But with a Probook, we had less than 5% returns during warranty, and I would say 95%+ were for dead HDD - and most were...

Generally impressed with them overall. I would take a HP Probook over a Dell Latitude. Maintenance manuals are available online so you can do most of the work yourself. Most of the laptops are easy to work on, just some of the entry level Probooks are a little hard to get around when replacing...

What do need to know? (My wife has one).

Dave, Happy Birthday! :b-day:

Here is a list of ALL socket 1155 based CPUs, and as time mentions only some Xeons' don't have it... http://ark.intel.com/MySearch.aspx?s=t&Sockets=1155 FYI, simply replace the 1155 after sockets with your desired socket pin count (eg 1156, 1366) to get other socket types...

Except when 30% of the drives decide to fail at the exact same moment, and you're left with a slow-a*s array due to all the rebuilds taking place.

No I didn't, I just mentioned that Sony have a viable option to his requirements, as do LG and Panasonic.

Very nice.

Not in the 21-26 size. However some 32" do, like the Sony 32CX520, Panasonic TH-L32C30A or LG 32LV3730. (AFAIK, none of the Samsungs do until you get 40"+). Any reason not to get a Blu-ray player or one of the cheaper streaming boxes with DLNA instead, and use the existing TV if present...
