Well my work laptop is now running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, w/Office 2007. Still got to install all the other applications that I need, but for the time being it's all working fine. I have already experienced 1 BSOD (cause unknown, it happened just after installing the Intel Display drivers...

HP have recently released a nVidia ION powered netbook... http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/ho/WF06a/321957-321957-3832382-3832383-3832383-4011350.html Looks interesting, but about AU$200 more than a netbook with Intel's GMA chipset, I don't know how it will do... They have also released...

ROFL!

Umm, what's the point in that? Since SATA has nearly all the same features that SAS has these days? Then couple SSDs making slow headway into the enterprise market, it seems like a last ditch effect to keep market share... Anyway, don't VR's have a higher than average failure rate? (Or that...

Thanks, I'm so glad MS are open about such things... I think I have found away around it. If I fit a US-International keyboard, set language to English (Australia) with US-International keyboard, then he gets all the additional keys he needs, and it'll support all things he needs. The only thing...

Multi-national Language Support I do have a quick question about what versions of Win7 have multi-national language support? According to MS, I need to get Ultimate for any form of multi-language support? Is that correct? I just remember when I was at TechEd this year, there was some mention...

I've heard rumors of Samsung drives in general not liking nForce controllers, and using the Samsung utility software corrects the issue... eg http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1298857 But since I tend to only have Seagate drives at the moment, I can't help with specifics.

Other option is to set a static (or persistant) route... Also toy with the routing costs as well to set the cost on LAN1 to be lower than LAN2.

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/desktop-chipsets.jsp IIRC, they don't have a license for current i5/i7 offerings, as nVidia doesn't either, (which is the main topic of the thread). They do a license for HT, but not HT3.0 which means they can make AM2/AM3 compatible chipsets, but will...

I've got a Sony Ericsson K800i, with 3 Mobile (in Australia). Had no issues with it... But then again I only use it as a phone, or occasionally as a camera (rated at 3.2MP) for spur of the moment shots.

They sure do, and have for a while: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 Are there any decent products left being produced by Symantec, other than Ghost???

Seconded... Hope the meeting goes well.

Same, I've had good experiences with products from both companies.

Fantastic advice! I typically only carry 1 compass, as I'm confident in navigation using both Sun and Star positioning/navigation methods. I admit, I don't have a GPS either, since I was taught how to use a map/compass from a young age and haven't seen the need so far. (Which was not that long...

Considering Keyboards and mice are both devices needing power, it could make troubleshooting interesting!

The company got them a few weeks ago as well, but haven't distributed them outside of head office yet. Last time I checked, the DVD + key were in the mail, as they say. Having just been to TechEd '09 Australia, getting the HP Netbook and having a play with Win7, I was impressed with what MS has...

My work laptop will be upgraded once I get a copy of our corporate Win7 license. (Which should be any day now). My home PC will continue to run Solaris.

After reading the article, it has nothing to do with the Adobe vs MS on font engines. It's about Ikea (the furniture maker) using Verdana as the primary font in it's 2010 catalogue, vs the older serif font it used in 2009. Yep, they switched from a serif font to a sans-serif font in the new...

Nothing that I'm away of, considering I use GNOME as my default desktop? (Actually I use JDS - Java Desktop System, which is a Sun rehash of GNOME, but for all purposes it is GNOME). But some people like the tweakablity of KDE vs GNOME, and KDE tends to be "prettier" than GNOME due to that...

I thought this was common knowledge, any netbook running GMA500 series chipsets should be avoided (when using anything other than Windows) due to lack of drivers for the display and associated chipset. IIRC, the GMA500 graphics core is not a branch of the Intel gfx core, but is made by PowerVR...

It sure was a hot one yesterday, and of course the home AC unit decides to pack it in when my wife turns it on. Luckily, (since we rent) we have the repair guys coming around tomorrow to fix it at no cost to us.

When you don't have a server (since it just crashed), and the nearest replacement is 3-4 days away due to remote location, and the customer is screaming at you because they can't trade, and hence losing money.

I know here in Oz, the ACCC (Australia Competition and Consumer Commission) advises not to use rebates in purchasing decision, as they find more often than not, rebates are not honored correctly, in a timely fashion, or not at all. Personally, if they want to give me a rebate, I'll take it at...

I know. My understanding is, that they are to be used by staff, when they are away on inter-state trips, as replacements for their existing laptops, if they don't want to take their existing laptops, or if they have a normal desktop in office. Small comparison, as I have one of the oldest...

use and test, yes. But not have. We've already been told the individual attendees won't get to keep them after the event, and that they will go into the company laptop pool once TechEd has finished.

Microsoft in Australia are giving away a HP netbook preloaded with Win7 for all paying attendees the '09 TechEd on the Gold Coast... (but the only issue I have is, is the company is paying for my TechEd ticket this year, so technically, it'll be their netbook).

Has anyone seen a down loadable document for Windows 7 deployment options and installation procedures? I've found the technet articles on Win7 deployment, but want something that I can download, read offline and print off to hand out and discuss with the other technicians I work with. The...

Last time I used 1000SX for PC -> switch connectivity was for some Sun Ultra Workstations, and hence using Sun PCI adapters, which are in the same price range as the Intel adapters. Newegg has some Intel NICs (coming in PCI, PCI-X and PCIe) starting from US$499. Another option is to use some...

Highly dependent on the version of UNIX. *BSD has a combination of dump/restore, tar and w/live CD methods. Linux traditional DR (Disaster Recovery) is very similar to BSD solutions. Solaris has several methods, like flash archiving (...

That sums up my experience when people run SELinux enabled OSes. Even though I run Solaris Express (also called SXCE), it has all the Trusted Extensions enabled with SBD enabled, it doesn't take long to elevate your user permissions to allow most common desktop functions, while still...

I find that mplayer (with gui frontend) does everything I need. The one thing I have found is that many distro's don't enable hardware acceleration by default, to be on the safe side. Could always try compiling from source yourself to see if that makes a differencce.

Glad to hear it all went well... :thumbright: If you need any advise on what apps work well as windows replacements, I'm happy to offer suggestions, (considering my main home PC has not run Windows in any form for at 3 yrs now).

They do have a "women in the armed forces" thread lurking about their forum... http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5267 http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130786

I tend to agree... My wife has watched the complete MASH series on DVD at least 9 to 10 times now. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H_%28TV_series%29 ) I also tend to purchase TV Series, more than set movies as well. The TV Series being more character developed also set better as time goes on.

They're most likely left over from Windows Updates. (They are the temp folders used by the updates). To delete, boot in safe mode, and attempt to take ownership, apply sane permissions, and delete, etc. If they fails, rip the drive out, insert into a second machine and you should be ok to...

Your current weight should not be a concern when looking at boots/shoes. Getting under performing shoes/boots to save a few $$$ due to wear concerns will cause more long term injury issues, than getting a good pair now (or using your existing pair). Remember, prevention is better than any cure...

Anyone old enough (and lucky enough) to use an Adaptec T100 SCSI RAID controller with 10MB SCSI 1 drives? Mmmm... 1MB/s on the ISA bus (if you were lucky).

No...

Has any seen the "Stargate: Children of the Gods "Final Cut"" DVD? Is it worth it for someone who already has all 10 seasons of SG-1 and 5 seasons of Atlantis?

What about near-line storage in servers, packing 24TB in 2RU would be nice... (assuming a 2RU chassis with 24 hot swap SAS/SATA bays).

http://www.whatismyip.com I believe there are FF plugins that do similar, but never used any of them...

I've got the same T7500 in my work HP laptop, and VT works perfectly fine on it. (VMWare, VirtualPC and VirtualBox all see VT as being available and usable).

There are certain assumptions that HyperV make about the underlying OS. My guess MS are just covering their own, as they don't want the world to know they can't make a decent hyper visor either, or they royally screwed up their assumptions on how the world works when designing the hyper...

I moved last weekend, and due to the help of my 17mth old, still haven't unpacked most things, including my home PC... nor setup my home DSL connection, which is active according to my ISP for the last week. But my son does like the new larger back yard and his new play set. (Swing, slide and...

124 is a hardware fault and/or bad driver. Try the usual, update the BIOS, update the drivers, etc...

It may have been to the lower lever schools are so political bound, that they must pass everyone, so even a child who can not read at an adult level makes it through. Colleges are having to compensate for that. "No child left behind" policy seems to ring a bell. (Yep, we even heard about that...

I guess all the above certainly highlights the deficiencies in modern education systems, where political statue weighs more than the need and/or capability of the individual student. The Australian system basically works like this: 4-5 yr old - pre-school / prep (optional in some states)...

While not directly related, the northbridge/southbridge setup on most Xeon rigs have far more IO bandwidth than typical desktops systems, especially if talking 1 - 2 yrs ago. That certainly made a difference in performance. However due to widespread introduction of PCIe, even common desktop...

Especially when you factor is cost of OS vs cost of business systems. When some business systems are several orders of magnitude more in cost than the OS it runs on, most companies will tend to side with the business system requirements vs what Microsoft wants them to do...

What about living in a country, that when government departments issue software plugins (for tax, health system, etc) that all require versions of software known NOT to work on Vista, eg old versions of Java, old versions of various libraries/toolkits, etc. And the fact that ISVs use this...
