Looking for drivers...anybody?

Just take a look at all the entries in the Windows DNS server and try to replicate them all. You might have to read up on Samba's DNS implementation.

I haven't tried that before, and the only documentation I've found is youtube ;)

Installing apps on a 2003 Terminal Server does excatly the same thing. Very annoying.

What Merc said.

The objectives on this machine were size and battery life, just upgrading the bits that wouldn't affect those negatively. Of course, I'm now dynamically OC'ing it 27% as well, but that doesn't affect battery life too much over all.

Is the workstations primary DNS pointed to the domain controller?

It is for people who want to video chat but don't have any friends. It connects you to strangers at random.

Of course, only yesterday I ordered 5 of the 1.5TB Samsungs...grr.

Seriously Lunar, just list your bodies in the For Sale forum and you'll be able to afford your 7D.

Fine. Great, even. But I don't ask much of them, they are just light workstations.

Sigh indeed, Tea. One more little voice in my head wondering why I haven't purchased one yet.

I've had 6 in systems for several weeks.

That is the anti-TED...

The last thing a camcorder needs is a long reach. No one seems to be able to keep still as it is.

Proxies? A cache server of some kind? Adblocking?

Sweet! Do the diamonds have some kind of DRM?

There were 6 minutes between his post and yours. I took 2. That isn't really that fast. All depends on how intensely I'm procrastinating at work ;)

Just an update, been running this on my own machines and some (cheap) clients, and it actually found something! It was able to detect and clean a real virus! No complaints, really.

It is indeed much better, and very snappy. I suspect I could get 99% of the perceived gain using the Vertex, but I don't think I'll switch back until I have a use for this X-25E.

That would be the problem ;) I'll prescribe more Dilbert until the condition improves.

ATTO of X25-E on U100: Not bad, actually.

Windows Experience Index: CPU: 2.2 RAM: 4.5 2D: 2.0 3D: 2.0 HDD: 6.8 Yay! ;)

Running the Windows Experience Index at the moment...I'll run ATTO when that is through.

It is a waste, and it is just for curiosity. The system will end up with the 30GB Vertex in it, I just had the X-25E sitting around and thought I'd try it out.

Nope. Since they have more sales people than engineers, they figured it would be easier to convince everyone that they didn't want to change batteries than design a changeable battery.

Installed to the 160GB SATA fine, imaged to the X-25E fine. Boots fine off the X-25E. What a PITA.

That is the current plan. I'll let you know how it goes.

Just grabbed a random 160GB SATA drive from the shelf and 7 sees it no problem. The only thing I can think is that the capacity (32 and 30GB) played a role?

The chipset is 945GSE+ ICH7-M, even XP sees it without anything special. Just 7 has the problem.

Same issue with the Vertex. Recognized in BIOS, Ubuntu installs just fine. 7 won't list the drive at all. About to try XP.

Considering we are discussing changing the behavior of users, I'm going with neither ;)

This is the problem, and replying in-line is a poor fix. The correct fix is having people communicate effectively by saying what they mean.

I'm tempted to start relying like this ;) If I get an e-mail, odds are I know what it is referring to from the subject. I certainly wouldn't want to re-read the whole thing. If I am lost, the content is right there at the bottom. To be honest, only two things are really annoying: 1. Inserted...

It is interesting. Apple does make sexy hardware, with the exception of some brain-dead hardware limitations (obviously the result of marketing or RIAA lobbying), and the make nice interfaces with major restrictions on software anti-competitive BS, etc. In other words, they would make great...

Agreed ;)

Ubuntu 9.10 went on no problem. Next step is to swap it out for a 30GB Vertex.

That does look cool, Merc. I'm getting the impression that software that works with these newer form factors has a long way to go.

So you want the text that has already been read to be on top of the text that is new? No one I know does it this way, seems pretty lame to me.

Thanks for the tips, I'll have to put off trying it until tomorrow.

1. Click on "settings" in the top right. 2. Click on the tab called "offline" 3. Click the button that says "Enable Offline Mail for this computer" 4. It will prompt you to install the Google Gears plugin and restart Firefox 5. Leave the machine logged into your mail for a while to sync your...

Unbox a brand new MSI U100. Pop the back case, install a 1GB DIMM (Rendition 1GB PC2-6400), swap out the hard drive with an Intel X-25E, put the case back on. Boot up, go into the BIOS. Confirm that the RAM and SSD are recognized. Plug in a USB DVD-ROM and stick in a stock 32-bit copy of...

That is funny.

I've done a hundred or so systems in the NSK3480; it is my default case unless they upgrade to the P180. I can't recall any power supply failures. As a hedge, you might sell UPS at cost with systems, just to protect the stuff you are guaranteeing. Congrats on growing your business!

You make some points, Tannin, but they aren't as strong as you make them sound. 1. Lack of web connectivity: Redundancy, Google Gears, HTML5 2. Having a local backup of your data in an open, accessible format is common sense either way. 3. I have an e-mail client that is automatically updated...

I consider any non-web-based e-mail client to be the trailer. If e-mail is a tool, than simple is better than complicated. Any e-mail client is more complex than no e-mail client.

Bummer indeed. Tom Cruise is a pathetic substitute.

Feeling dumb, which is unfortunately common for me. Trying to install Windows 7 i386 on an MSI 100 Netbook with some mods: 2GB RAM, 32GB X-25E Did the upgrades, everything is recognized in the BIOS, Win7 boots from the USB DVD just fine. It just refuses to see the drive. BIOS sees the drive...

There is no j, assuming you meant g or h? I ended up going with this: /c/f/h/e/h/x/g/i I'll confirm the files afterward.

(Searching for a car metaphor) Accessing GMail though POP3 is kinda like having a beautiful sports car and hauling it around on the back of a flatbed truck. Sure you get some of the perks (SPAM filtering), but you seem to have gone out of your way to not get some of the others (access from...
