Very true, but it does make for a much more responsive system.

:frowner: That sucks, and based on the attenuation figure you gave, you're about the same distance from the exchange as I am. Have you done an isolation test and may be replaced the ADSL filters? (Might give you some more speed since your SNR is better than mine). Mind you can't be that bad...

Just another note, Telstra have pretty much disable most features through the web-interface (including even changing the DHCP address range available - you can either turn on or off DHCP - you get no other configuration), but if you man-up and use the telnet interface the entire router can be...

Here are my stats: Uptime: 1 day, 0:40:46 DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 917 / 9,846 Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.5 / 1.5 Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 26.0 / 45.5 SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.5 / 5.5 And this...

Had our new TV delivered today, and spent more time fiddling with and adjusting the wall mount than actually setting up the TV. Managed to get a new Sony 40" LCD TV (KDL40CX52) for just under AU$700, including 5yr onsite warranty and free home delivery. (it's a 1080p 50Hz LCD TV, with 4x HDMI...

And here I am happy finally getting ADSL2+, after being stuck with 1.5Mbps ADSL for the last 2yrs. :crap: PS. Due to my distance from the exchange (roughly 2.8km or 1.7mi), I can only get 9Mbps down with 950kbps up. But this is obviously far better than the 1.5Mbps/384kbps connection I had...

Not for LDAP address books. IIRC, most people use the central LDAP address book for the central corporate email addresses, and then use private address books for all other contacts. (Yes, that sucks when you want a centralised client address book). But for Gmail, the "Google Contacts" add-in...

Thanks for the feedback. I've only rarely seen the Sharp TVs in store, so they don't tend to be popular in these parts. (But if you want a Samsung, those things breed like rabbits). I'm definitely considering the Sharp TV as the number 1 option... The next version of the Wii (called Wii U)...

Hi Everyone, I must start this post with, we are having a royal PITA time with electronics recently, and am getting sick of having to replace our stuff... Anyway, long story short, our current LG 42" Plasma TV (which is a 480p panel) decided to not play nice anymore. It's 3.5yr old, and the...

Excellent. Sorry can't help you with that one. Only you know which SATA ports on the mother board it was connected to. Does the SSD have a working OS installation on it? I don't know your motherboard that well, but if it has 2 drive controllers, the Intel ICH10R and the JMicron controller...

This is only a suggestion, any may result in data loss. If you are ensure, immediately grab a copy of Ghost or some other drive duplication application, and make a sector for sector copy of one of the drives for safe keeping in case something goes wrong. I would connect both drives to the...

AFAIK it'll distribute over the whole 120GB...

Totally agree, that there are often mistakes in spec sheets. However since this series of drives also come in PATA models (at lower capacities), it would make sense that these are 512byte sector drives due to the PATA factor. But since we know WDC naming scheme leave a lot to be desired, it's...

To the original question, according to the spec sheet, it's 512byte sectors. Formatted Capacity: 1,000,204 MB User Sector Count: 1,953,525,169 Therefore 1,000,204,000,000 bytes / 1,953,525,169 sectors = 512 bytes/sector Source: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-701277.pdf

I don't have any, but Joerg may have some left? http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/7379-Need-a-Google+-invite.html (Joerg runs a Solaris blog that I read every 2nd/3rd day).

Very nice... I just wish the ADF Media library had some pics of the older planes in Australian service. (They recently released about 30pics of the Mirage fleet with some pics from the 1960s). For those interested the Australian Defence Media library can be found here...

Think SR-71 but with weapons...

What's wrong with ZFS on FreeBSD? It'll give you the RAID component, plus a few other nice features like checksumming on all files?

Having the touchscreen only becomes a problem once you get into the higher levels when the bricks are falling faster. You occasionally hit the wrong button. We eneded up settling for this version of Tetris: http://www.topandroidgames.net/detail?package=com.mybo.tetris

Just to follow on from this older post. On the Wildfire with the HTC Android 2.2 image, my wife and I are getting 4-5 days before a recharge with our normal usage. Initially it was every 2-3 days, but that had to do more with use constantly playing with the phones and working out how to do...

Does anyone know of a free Tetris game for Android that does not suck? I've tried the paid EA version, and a few others I've downloaded, but they all suck in some manner? Also does anyone know of a Puzzle Bobble like game as well?

+1 for MSE

I've only rarely used the internal file transfer in RDP, but didn't know that it didn't use any form of checksumming. (Now that explains why the few tims I had problems with it). Thanks for the info. Most of the time, I've used FTP/HTTP to transfer stuff across especially across the Internet...

Internal firewalls were/are implemented to stop worms from travelling around the LAN, when brought in by other means like USB keys. The problem is, most worms use services/protocols that need to be open on the firewall by default for anything useful to be done. eg Admin file shares. My biggest...

AMD based server Just saw this on HP's website. It's targeted at SMB, but should make a nice home server for those with minimal requirements. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/sm/WF06b/15351-15351-4237916-4237917-4237917-4248009-5040202.html Price starts at AU$480, with 1yr next business...

Glad you got it working. Alternatively setup a domain, and set all that as a domain wide GPO, that way you only need to do it once to it'll be applied all machines within the domain.

Now, now, don't be so harsh. The answer to all your problems is here or here.

On the Win7 PC, in event log> security, do you see the WinXP client attempting to authenticate? (I can't remember if Win7 records success/fail login attempts on shares or not. If not, just enable the right GPO objects to do the recording). This may give you some clues as to what is going on.

You log in as your normal user account. When connecting to a foreign machine, Windows will attempt to authenticate with your user account. If authentication fails, it will then try authenticate as "Guest" with no password, and if that fails will attempt to authenticate as the Computer name with...

My preference would be to use a real user account with a password instead of the Guest. Enabled the Guest user account on the LAN side of things is just a really bad idea with Windows. IIRC, in Advanced Settings, you need to set: "Turn on network discovery", "Turn on file and printer sharing"...

Have you enabled blank passwords for CIFS in local group policy? Other you may have problems with Guest accounts gaining access to SMB shares, or attempts for users on other computers to gain access to the SMB shares. Open gpedit.msc and it's in: Computer > Windows Settings > Security Settings...

Yep, they predate the Galaxy S by at least 12mths. Wish I had known that at the time, and would've saved having to get alternates phones later on. BTW, my wife loves the HTC Wildfire. (Couldn't afford the Desire). The problem we had, was availablity of models here in Australia. I found a few...

Yep, there's been a lot of talk about this newish rootkit, and Microsoft's advise on how to clean it. But going back years when I first started with UNIX systems, the advise for a system that had a rootkit installed or had been hacked was simple. "Wipe the HDDs and do a clean install. Restore...

A bit of luck I guess. However in order to get the best deal from Telstra, there are a few helpful items to know. There are actually 2 different Sales departments, one for inbound sales and one for outbound sales. The inbound sales department are very hardline about what they give out, and...

We don't have any price difference between cable and ADSL2+, with either service it's about your download limits and if you can get a static IP or not. And cable rollout was very limited to certain areas only with each city. ADSL1 is a different story. But it's interesting to note, that in some...

Who said anything about a 24mth contract? :confused: (No fixed term contract was part of the deal - I can leave at any time). :rambo: Anyway, it's all Helstra infrastructure in my area. (One of the problems when semi-rural). If I went with anyone else, they just blame Telstra for any problems...

No, we got the HTCs. Just an observation on the old Samsungs we had.

AMOLED Screens Hi, Just like to find out if any others had had warping issues with AMOLED touchscreens on their phones? Just noticed on my wife's Samsung phone that the screen has warped, resulting in v.poor touch responsiveness. My only thought is heat from the charging process, and poor...

Well, my current ISP STILL has not fixed the problem, and the core router upgrade has been pushed back AGAIN. (It was scheduled for April, and now scheduled for 3rd Jul - like they are going to do a core router upgrade that will take 50% of their customers offline for an hour or so, 3 days into...

Finally found it... https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar Looks like Firefox 9 will this year's Christmas release.

Reading the links time gave me, when you run 'dcpromo' to create the DC, it'll attempt to turn off write caching on the drive that houses the active directory database. It's that turning off of the write cache that may not work on some systems, is causing the issue. Now this could be a chipset...

That's because MPEG2 is the only required format, and as we know most manufacturers will do anything to reduce cost. IIRC, the only devices that will go beyond MPEG2 support are BR players (and they only add in the codecs needed for BR playback) or software driven solutions like Windows Media...

time, I don't know who you are with, but as a comparison here is the Telstra IR rates page. http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/internat_roaming/ A $29 data pack for IR gets you a huge 10MB, and anything over the 10MB will incur a rate of $15.00 per 1MB (charged per KB). A 50c flag fall is paid...

Nope, my stuff is on 110mb.com. But they freely admit, that they don't backup free accounts, and it's your responsibility to maintain your own backups.

I could, but that'll cost money. :joker: (Local pricing is about $45 for a 2GB DIMM)

I know 300MB isn't that bad when compared to a modern Windows variant, but when you only have 1GB, using 1/3 of your RAM just for the OS/DE isn't ideal. Anyway, I just learnt a cool trick in using 'udev' to automout USB keys with using any 3rd party volumn management software.

Well, xfce didn't last long. Just saw it's memory footprint, and gasped. Now running window maker instead. Also got rid of "networkmanager" and replaced it with "wicd" instead, and the WLAN connection at Uni is absolutely rock-solid. (NM would drop out after about 30mins, and would need to...

Yep, Mozilla have moved to a quick release schedule similar to Chrome. In reality, many see FF5 as merely FF4.1, as the number of new features added is nothing compared to FF3 -> FF4. According to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases , FF6 will be in BETA on 5 Jul 2011. Interestingly Thunderbird...

Reading up on it, it's capable of taking 2 separate inputs, and giving each input exactly half the screen, eg 2048x2048. But you still need a card that can drive that resolution. On the specs page for the AMD HD 6990 card, it says that: So, it even though it supports DP1.2, it still can't...
