Well, that's [explained pretty well here](http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/archive/2008/09/17/what-is-the-winsxs-directory-in-windows-2008-and-windows-vista-and-why-is-it-so-large.aspx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; All of the components in the operating system are found in the WinSxS folder – in fact we call this location the component store.  Each component has a unique name that includes the version, language, and processor architecture that it was built for.  The WinSxS folder is the only location that the component is found on the system, all other instances of the files that you see on the system are “projected” by hard linking from the component store.  Let me repeat that last point – there is only one instance (or full data copy) of each version of each file in the OS, and that instance is located in the WinSxS folder.   So looked at from that perspective, the WinSxS folder is really the entirety of the whole OS, referred to as a &quot;flat&quot; in down-level operating systems.  This also accounts for why you will no longer be prompted for media when running operations such as System File Checker (SFC), or when installing additional features and roles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That explains why the folder starts off big, but not why it gets larger over time – the answer to that question is servicing.   In previous versions of Windows the atomic unit of servicing was the file, in Windows Vista it’s the component.  When we update a particular binary we release a new version of the whole component, and that new version is stored alongside the original one in the component store.  The higher version of the component is projected onto the system, but the older version in the store isn’t touched.  The reason for that is the third part of why the component store gets so large.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lots of other people [complaining about the size of the /winsxs folder, too](http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/archives/1306-Demystifying-the-WinSxS-directory-in-Windows-XP,-Vista-and-Server-20032008.html):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A coworker recently received his every two year work laptop refresh and was in the middle of loading his new laptop with Vista. For some reason, his hard drive C: was partitioned to only 25GB and the rest of the space reserved for a much larger drive D:.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Anyway, after loading many Windows Updates, he was left with hardly any drive space left on C:, and for some reason, the WinSxS directory had ballooned to over 8GB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; While I knew what the WinSxS (Windows Side-by-Side) directory was for, I wasn't quite sure why that directory would explode in size so fast with normal operating system updates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't really care about having all these duplicate files for safety, but I *do* care about the VM exploding due to an out of disk space error. So.. **can /winsxs be safely pared down in any way?** [It doesn't seem that it can be](http://blogs.msdn.com/jonwis/archive/2007/01/02/deleting-from-the-winsxs-directory.aspx).. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Administrators should not, for any reason, take it upon themselves to clean out the /winsxs directory** - doing so may prevent Windows Update and MSI from functioning properly afterwards.  Preventing accidental deletion from the directory is accomplished by putting a strong security descriptor on the directory that inherits to its children.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this /winsxs folder gets any larger, I'm going to have to re-image this virtual machine.. which I *really* don't want to do!" />

You're unlikely to get support from the provider, and if you do, it's likely to be of lower quality (e.g. slower) than for a paid product.  For most users, I doubt support for anti-virus software is that important, but some people like to have a number to call for everything.&#xD;&#xA; - Usage restrictions.  Most free solutions are limited to personal use only.  For example, AVG's free edition is limited to &quot;private, non-commercial&quot; use only, which means you can't (legally) use it on your work computer, even if you're a small business.&#xD;&#xA; - Functionality.  Often free versions have more limited functionality.  Using AVG as an example again, their paid versions have IM, identify theft, spam, and rootkit protection, and a firewall.&#xD;&#xA; - Ads.  Often a free product will incorporate some form of advertising (even if it's just for a paid version of the same product).  This can range from a subtle image in the UI (which you'll rarely use), to something annoying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for dangers, I presume you mean &quot;are these products less likely to catch viruses?&quot;.  Perhaps.  You can look at evaluations (e.g. the [Virus Bulletin ones][2]), although some people argue that those aren't particularly meaningful.  In my experience, if you keep whatever product you use up-to-date (and the definitions up-to-date as well), and you have a firewall, and you're behind some sort of NAT (e.g. most home connections), and you keep your OS up-to-date, and you don't behave stupidly, then you have little risk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FWIW, despite these limitations, I always recommend free anti-virus to friends/family (typically AVG).  For the commercial situation, there are many advantages in the commercial products, but there are plenty of good free choices for personal, home, use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://free.grisoft.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/results?display=summary" />

You must authenticate as the other user. If you want to su to root, you need the root password.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;sudo is a command to execute another command (optionally a shell) as a different user. You must authenticate **as your own user**. Permission to use sudo (and the specific things you can do with it) are specified by an administrator in the sudoers file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you give someone access to su (by, for example, giving them the root password), then they can do anything with it – run other commands, open a shell, change the password, login remotely via ssh, and so on. You're essentially giving them access to the other account, with 'su' being just one thing they can do with it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;sudo is much more fine-grained. You can grant privileges to a user, or to a group. You can allow a user or group to sudo within a certain timeframe (e.g. Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM). You can specify a specific list of commands they're allowed to run (e.g. only /usr/local/bin/run_backup) or you can specify a specific user they're allowed to run commands as (e.g. www, backup, staff, etc).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides its flexibility, sudo is a better solution in all cases, because it doesn't require access to anything the user doesn't already have. If you give someone sudo access, you can revoke it by removing their line in the sudoers file, or removing them from the sudoers group. If you delete their account, their access is gone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you give them the root password, even assuming they don't do anything unpleasant with it, then they will know it forever. If you have multiple people who need root access for administrative tasks, this means either changing all the root passwords whenever someone leaves, or assuming that it's ok for them to have full access to your systems after you leave." />

Keep in mind that although I was contacted by reCAPTCHA to work on the official WordPress reCAPTCHA plugin, I am in no other way affiliated with reCAPTCHA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people believe that CAPTCHAs dissuade readers from commenting. I believe this might be true in many cases, but reCAPTCHA seems pretty straightforward. Instead of using random generated strings consisting of numbers and letters, it uses actual words, well, most of the time. If you read about [How reCAPTCHA works][2], you'll see that it only requires one word to be correct. So it won't be too strict on your users. This is worth noting whenever that rare oddball pops up where one of the words is completely illegible, you can simply type anything in. Of course, reCAPTCHA would benefit if you tried to figure out what it says, but it's not necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To date, reCAPTCHA seems to be the only 'un-cracked' CAPTCHA system. I think I read an article where even 4chan gave up trying to crack it and instead just used the 'only one word has to be correct' trick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that as more and more people learn what reCAPTCHA is and how it benefits everyone, they wont feel too bad having to type in responses to CAPTCHAs. To reiterate, the fact that reCAPTCHA uses actual words means people don't fuss over having to type them in, because it's natural. Many would take 'elementary' over an overly obfuscated 'S3x7Kd'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, again, many people absolutely hate CAPTCHAs (Though it *seems* to be general consensus that reCAPTCHA is the best of them), and opt to go for other systems. [Akismet][3] is worked on by the same people that work on WordPress, and seems to do a really good job at detecting spam. For most people, Akismet should be enough. If you find yourself being targeted hard by spammers, then perhaps a combination of Akismet and reCAPTCHA would be best. reCAPTCHA stops all machine based attacks (read: OCR/scripts) but can't do much against paid-human spammers, which Akismet can then stop by scanning the actual comment's contents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;reCAPTCHA is nice in that it is accessible to anyone. Big sites like Twitter, Facebook, even some government websites, and Stackoverflow use it, but the very same solution is available to the Average Joe Blogger as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://akismet.com/" />

Keep in mind that although I was contacted by reCAPTCHA to work on the official WordPress reCAPTCHA plugin, I am in no other way affiliated with reCAPTCHA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people believe that CAPTCHAs dissuade readers from commenting. I believe this might be true in many cases, but reCAPTCHA seems pretty straightforward. Instead of using random generated strings consisting of numbers and letters, it uses actual words, well, most of the time. If you read about [How reCAPTCHA works][2], you'll see that it only requires one word to be correct. So it won't be too strict on your users. This is worth noting whenever that rare oddball pops up where one of the words is completely illegible, you can simply type anything in. Of course, reCAPTCHA would benefit if you tried to figure out what it says, but it's not necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To date, reCAPTCHA seems to be the only 'un-cracked' CAPTCHA system. I think I read an article where even 4chan gave up trying to crack it and instead just used the 'only one word has to be correct' trick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that as more and more people learn what reCAPTCHA is and how it benefits everyone, they wont feel too bad having to type in responses to CAPTCHAs. To reiterate, the fact that reCAPTCHA uses actual words means people don't fuss over having to type them in, because it's natural. Many would take 'elementary' over an overly obfuscated 'S3x7Kd'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, again, many people absolutely hate CAPTCHAs (Though it *seems* to be general consensus that reCAPTCHA is the best of them), and opt to go for other systems. [Akismet][3] is worked on by the same people that work on WordPress, and seems to do a really good job at detecting spam. For most people, Akismet should be enough. If you find yourself being targeted hard by spammers, then perhaps a combination of Akismet and reCAPTCHA would be best. reCAPTCHA stops all machine based attacks (read: OCR/scripts) but can't do much against paid-human spammers, which Akismet can then stop by scanning the actual comment's contents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;reCAPTCHA is nice in that it is accessible to anyone. Big sites like Twitter, Facebook, even some government websites, and Stackoverflow use it, but the very same solution is available to the Average Joe Blogger as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I forgot to mention. reCAPTCHA has another service called [MailHide][4] in which you provide an email address and it gives you a link. People can then click this link and they are presented with a reCAPTCHA, and after successfully solving it, they are presented with the original email. WP-reCAPTCHA has this functionality built in. If enabled, it scans posts and/or comments for email addresses and 'obfuscates' them. So johndoe@server.com becomes joh...@server.com. The viewer then clicks on the three dots in the middle and they are presented with a little, unobtrusive reCAPTCHA pop up. After successfully solving it, they are presented with the original email address. There are also settings to customize the obfuscation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I just figured I would mention that, considering that you can also get spammed by email harvesters, and reCAPTCHA happens to fight off both things quite nicely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://akismet.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/" />

Well, that's [explained pretty well here](http://blogs.technet.com/askcore/archive/2008/09/17/what-is-the-winsxs-directory-in-windows-2008-and-windows-vista-and-why-is-it-so-large.aspx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; All of the components in the operating system are found in the WinSxS folder – in fact we call this location the component store.  Each component has a unique name that includes the version, language, and processor architecture that it was built for.  The WinSxS folder is the only location that the component is found on the system, all other instances of the files that you see on the system are “projected” by hard linking from the component store.  Let me repeat that last point – there is only one instance (or full data copy) of each version of each file in the OS, and that instance is located in the WinSxS folder.   So looked at from that perspective, the WinSxS folder is really the entirety of the whole OS, referred to as a &quot;flat&quot; in down-level operating systems.  This also accounts for why you will no longer be prompted for media when running operations such as System File Checker (SFC), or when installing additional features and roles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That explains why the folder starts off big, but not why it gets larger over time – the answer to that question is servicing.   In previous versions of Windows the atomic unit of servicing was the file, in Windows Vista it’s the component.  When we update a particular binary we release a new version of the whole component, and that new version is stored alongside the original one in the component store.  The higher version of the component is projected onto the system, but the older version in the store isn’t touched.  The reason for that is the third part of why the component store gets so large.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lots of other people [complaining about the size of the /winsxs folder, too](http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/archives/1306-Demystifying-the-WinSxS-directory-in-Windows-XP,-Vista-and-Server-20032008.html):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A coworker recently received his every two year work laptop refresh and was in the middle of loading his new laptop with Vista. For some reason, his hard drive C: was partitioned to only 25GB and the rest of the space reserved for a much larger drive D:.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Anyway, after loading many Windows Updates, he was left with hardly any drive space left on C:, and for some reason, the WinSxS directory had ballooned to over 8GB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; While I knew what the WinSxS (Windows Side-by-Side) directory was for, I wasn't quite sure why that directory would explode in size so fast with normal operating system updates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't really care about having all these duplicate files for safety, but I *do* care about the VM exploding due to an out of disk space error. So.. **can /winsxs be safely pared down in any way?** [It doesn't seem that it can be](http://blogs.msdn.com/jonwis/archive/2007/01/02/deleting-from-the-winsxs-directory.aspx).. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Administrators should not, for any reason, take it upon themselves to clean out the /winsxs directory** - doing so may prevent Windows Update and MSI from functioning properly afterwards.  Preventing accidental deletion from the directory is accomplished by putting a strong security descriptor on the directory that inherits to its children.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this /winsxs folder gets any larger, I'm going to have to re-image this virtual machine.. which I *really* don't want to do!" />

KDE on the other hand seems to give users a lot more options. What's interesting is that if you're in any way comfortable with computers, it might end up being that KDE, with its more options, would seem easier for you since you have more possibilities in terms of customizing things to your liking, whereas on GNOME you might be wondering where or how you do a certain thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But yeah, I think the only difference is the ideology and goals of both projects, and whether or not they match your way of working or perception of using a computer.

(This isn't something that can be explained well.) Things that are designed to work with each other do it pretty well, aren't intrusive, and are usually fairly pretty design-wise. And many apps have some features tucked away in places you don't think to look until you need them. The experience feels better to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, from a developer standpoint, the tools and frameworks that OS X is built on are really nice.

Debian and Red Hat based distributions account for a large percentage of the distributions out there. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The major difference between them is the package management. If they are debian based the most likely use the dpkg&amp; apt/deb system, if its a Red Hat system it most likely uses yum/rpm. A lot of distros pop up because someone was unsatisifed with the package management so most will have some form of graphical interface that is different, but the underlying system is the same. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you learn how to use apt-get and yum, you'll cover 80% of the distro's out there, and 99% of the systems you'll most likely encounter. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each distro will do something a little different with the window manager. Most major distro's choose between KDE and Gnome, with Gnome seeming to be the popular one at the moment. The great thing about linux though, is that you can change the window manager if you like (go windowmaker!). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you learn the command line there is not &quot;much&quot; of a difference, but the GUI changes between distro's will definitely sway you're choice. Also, some distro's ship with divers that will make it easy for certain hardware like video cards. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I highly recommend [Linux Mint][1] for home systems, and vanilla debian, ubuntu (server edition) or centos for servers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.linuxmint.com/" />

You won't need a top of the line graphics card if you won't be playing the latest games.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as a CPU is concerned, you shouldn't need anything greater than a dual core hovering about 2.3GHz - 2.6GHz.

The memory and CPU I'd &quot;skimp&quot; a bit on as well like others have suggested. That is, I'd go with a Duo/Quad Core CPU - try to get the newest product-line possible, but pay close attention to the prices. Say their clock speeds and prices are as follows&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    2.4GHz 100$&#xD;&#xA;    2.6GHz 110$&#xD;&#xA;    2.8GHz 170$&#xD;&#xA;    3.0GHz 300$&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this case I'd go for the 2.6GHz, simply because you pay only a little bit more compared with what you get - but once we go beyond this the price jumps become too much for me wanting to pay that much extra for a few extra Hz. IMO the product line of the CPU is often way more important than the model within the product line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as memory goes, decide how much memory you want - and again, try to find the cheap sweet spot. Memory is cheap at the moment and it shouldn't be too hard to find cheap good memory - try go get some that is not running with the slowest timings you can find, or get some that is rated to run just slightly faster than you intend to run them at, so you can get slightly better timings - but there's no need to spend a large amount of money on memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this is a rig for gaming - the graphics card is where you want to REALLY spend cash - it is for the most part the deciding factor in everything related to your gaming performance so go nuts here. If not, you can EASILY save a ton of money there as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A harddrive for gaming really only needs to be big - a faster harddrive will get you faster loading times, but for the main part - that's it. Get a normal 7200RPM drive and you'll be good. If you want a general faster computer elsewhere though, a good harddrive is a worthwhile investment too - maybe even considering a RAID setup (I gotta warn you about RAID 0 though - it sucks when the RAID breaks - but a RAID 10 if you can afford it, is really nice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last bits and pieces all comes down to what you can save from previous rig's. Do you have keyboard and mouse? Do you have a monitor? Do you have optical drives? Etc. Apart from optical drives - the rest of the parts left are the ones you'll physically interact with. As far as the performance of the computer, it doesn't really matter that much. But when we talk about interacting physically with the computer this is where the differences are made - so it all depends on how you want that to feel. Especially a bad chassis can really make assembling a computer a pain, but then again, you don't do that so often - the rest is pretty much up to you - whether you think it is worth the money or not, and of course, whether or not you can afford it." />

I have to say, I really really like the OS. There are however a couple of things that annoys me, which may well annoy other Windows users.

It'll hit 0%, store everything to harddrive and shut down. When you boot up, it restores itself. Exactly like on Windows - except you're not having to waste the last 5-10% of your battery - you can actually wear it all the way down without fearing that it won't back it all to your harddrive before it runs out of power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trackpad is awesome - I've never had a touchpad like it that works as well as it does. I too had the fear of the one-button mouse - but this is not a mouse and a right click is easier with this than it is on a touchpad (2-finger click, or 1 long click) - I do however use regular Windows mouses when I plug in an external one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I like alot of what I see - and it is just nice to try something completely different from Windows - where things aren't just the way they are, because they always used to be that way.

At this point there is only one option -- do a clean install of windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, to avoid this state, there are a few things you can do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Run non-essential programs or programs that you are going to use only once on a virtual machine (use virtualbox, which is free and open-source, install windows on it).&#xD;&#xA; 2. Programs like adobe acrobat, photoshop, your camera software etc. are better installed in the virtual machine&#xD;&#xA; 3.  Run a registry and hard disk cleaner regularly. Use something like TuneUp Utilities, which is pretty good.&#xD;&#xA; 4.  Defragment your hard drives (and check them for errors) regularly. Tuneup Utilities, if you have it, takes care of this too.&#xD;&#xA; 5.  Usually, the antivirus you have also tends to slow down the computer. Use a good, and reasonably fast antivirus (my preference is for Kaspersky)&#xD;&#xA; 6.  Remove unwanted programs from startup -- both in startup programs and msconfig&#xD;&#xA; 7.  Make non-essential services 'delayed-start' (Windows Vista and up only) for a faster startup&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " />

Also, to reiterate, old MAC = 00:f9:e8:d7:c6:b5, new MAC = 00:1a:2b:3c:4f:56, as they are above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo fsaclctl -p /Volumes/Backup\ of\ MyMac -d&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo xattr -w com.apple.backupd.BackupMachineAddress 00:1a:2b:3c:4f:56 /Volumes/Backup\ of\ MyMac/Backups.backupdb/MyMac&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo fsaclctl -p /Volumes/Backup\ of\ MyMac -e&#xD;&#xA;    $ cd /Volumes/Time\ Capsule&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo mv .00f9e8d7c6b56 .001a2b3c4f56&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo mv MyMac_00f9e8d7c6b56.sparsebundle MyMac_ .001a2b3c4f56.sparsebundle&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What we've done here is we've disabled and re-enabled ACLs within the sparsebundle volume (where Backups.db actually is) and used xattr to change the MAC address in the manner shown in the original hint. Next we went to the Time Capsule's volume and changed the MAC address file and the name of our backup to both reflect our new MAC address. I'm fairly certain this should work for Time Capsule-based TM backups...it has worked for me, so best of luck.&#xD;&#xA;" />

On the technical side, there is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; likely to be more crosstalk from other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; circuits at the DSLAM end (where the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wires from many local loops are close&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to each other) than at the customer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; premises. Thus the upload signal is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; weakest at the noisiest part of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; local loop, while the download signal&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is strongest at the noisiest part of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the local loop. It therefore makes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; technical sense to have the DSLAM&#xD;&#xA;&gt; transmit at a higher bit rate than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; does the modem on the customer end.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Since the typical home user in fact&#xD;&#xA;&gt; does prefer a higher download speed,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the telephone companies chose to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a virtue out of necessity, hence ADSL.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; On the marketing side, limiting upload&#xD;&#xA;&gt; speeds limits the attractiveness of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this service to business customers,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; often causing them to purchase higher&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cost Leased line services instead. In&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this fashion, it segments the digital&#xD;&#xA;&gt; communications market between business&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and home users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_digital_subscriber_line" />

As kastermester pointed out with CPU costs, there's a steep price curve from just below top of the line hardware to top of the line hardware.  You'll notice this pattern in just about every PC component.  Look at the top 3-4 offerings for a given piece of hardware and see where you get the most for your money.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Buying in this price range does a couple of things for you.  First, you get the most out of the money that you're spending.  Secondly, it maximizes the life you'll get out of your machine before you have to consider upgrading.  It doesn't do you much good to skimp on something now if it means you're going to need to upgrade it in a year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing you can skip out on though is a standalone sound card.  Most motherboards have quality sound capabilities built in that pretty much eliminate the need for a separate sound card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hard drives and memory are so cheap now that you don't even need to skimp on them.  The main areas you'll be cutting costs in is for the video card and processor, which fit the price curve I talked about earlier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I'd like to have a single authentication for both XP machines and linux machines so that users added to the server list will propagate to all PCs (i.e. new users can log on using any PC without modifying any of the client PCs).&#xD;&#xA;3. How to configure a linux client (Ubuntu2 above) to access files on the server (Ubuntu1), some of which are in user specific folders, effectively sharing /home/{user} per user (read and write access) and stuff like /home/media/photos with read access for everyone and limited write access.&#xD;&#xA;4. How to configure the XP machines (if it is different from a the Samba method).&#xD;&#xA;5. How to set up e-mail filtering. I'd like to have a whitelist/blacklist system for incoming e-mails for some of the e-mail accounts (mainly, my kids' accounts) with filtered e-mails being put into quaranteen until a sysadmin either adds the sender to a blacklist or whitelist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OK, that's a lot of stuff. For now, I don't want config files&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, rather, what services / applications to use and how they interact. For example, LDAP could be used for authentication but what else would be useful to make the administration of the LDAP easier. Once I have a general idea for the overall configuration, I can ask other questions about the specifics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Skizz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I have looked around for information, but most answers are usually in the form of abstract config files and lists of packages to install." />

More importantly, windows configuration was stored in the same place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The registry became bloated due to applications not cleaning up after themselves.  DLL hell happened as a result of multiple versions of the same shared libraries overwriting each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;.NET introduced the concept of app.config (almost ini files mark 2, this time with a little more structure saving developers wasting time writing manual parsers). The GAC was introduced to version shared assemblies in an attempt to prevent DLL Hell.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In Windows XP and moreso in Vista, Microsoft attempted to define the userspace as a place to store user data and configuration files in a single standard location to allow for roamning profiles and easy migration (just copy your profile) with the applications installed in Program Files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I guess, the reason is that &quot;applications in windows are designed to live in one place, their shared dependencies in another, and the user specific data in another&quot;, which pretty much works against the concept of xcopying a single location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;.. and that's before you have to configure user accounts, and setup and ensure security permissions, and download updates, and install windows services...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;xcopy is the &quot;simple case&quot; and certainly isn't a best fit for everything.&#xD;&#xA;" />

If you aren't putting a lot of load on the system, there there is not reason that it couldn't be used for a mail server or the like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the things I've done with older systems that cuts down on the amount of space around is to strip all of the potentially useful parts out of them along with the CPUs for a growing collection. Since older systems are worth next to nothing, you might be able to find an older high-end full tower that you can use to house various drives (e.g. low speed CD-ROM, floppy, zip) in case you ever need to recover something from the media.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, if you do decide to dispose of the system and aren't able to give it to charity, see if you can find a computer recycle or the like that can dispose of it in a proper fashion.

For example, I have a Dell Inspiron 640m which the fan recently failed. Everything else still works. I know enough to open up the laptop (after reading the service manual) and put it back together again, hence a replacement fan could save it. However, finding these parts turned out to be difficult. I guess I wouldn't be able to get it from Dell since I have been searching around the Dell forums and concluded if I were going to get Dell to at least talk to me, I would have to pay some money (since my warranty expired). I found this online:-&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&amp;id=3725](http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&amp;id=3725)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, as I don't live in the United States, shipping alone would cost me 3 times more than the part in question.

They probably have to change everything except the LCD screen. I opened it up and found that most of the parts are still working, only the RAM had fried. Replaced it and it's working again. For some time before discovering only the RAM fried, I was toying with the idea of replacing the logic board myself but looks like I didn't have to. =) Now I know there's a site for Macbooks used replacement parts:-&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[http://www.ifixit.com/](http://www.ifixit.com/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The question is, does anyone know where to get replacement parts at their own locality? It might benefit the community as a whole. Someone might know a local computer store that sells precisely just the things we needed (for now, I hope to find a shop that sells just the fan). If you own a laptop which you had an easy experience finding the replacement parts, do post that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PS: I wish laptop manufacturers have outlets where they sell these replacement parts (or at least let you place an order)." />

Some standards include HTTP, SMTP, POP3, …&#xD;&#xA;There is official documentation that describes each individual standard and most standards have been around for 10 to 20 years.  &#xD;&#xA;Each standard document is a very detailed explanation of what the standard is and how it works.  Typically a standard has an RFC number associated with it, but there are many different types of standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Protocols**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP and POP3 are ‘standards’.  Each standard describes a different protocol.  A protocol is any kind of communication between 2 or more computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to send email.  Your computer uses SMTP to send email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is POP3?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to receive email.  Your computer uses POP3 to receive email.  POP3 is also refered to as simply POP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email works**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A wants to send an email to user B.&#xD;&#xA;User A writes up an email and presses send.&#xD;&#xA;User A’s computer, uses SMTP communication to send the email to User A’s (Yes A, not B)  SMTP server.&#xD;&#xA;User A’s SMTP server, sends the email to user B’s SMTP server using SMTP communication.&#xD;&#xA;User B when he feels like it, contacts his SMTP server and uses POP3 to download the messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Some important notes:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to send email is to use SMTP.  &#xD;&#xA;The only way to receive email is to use POP3. (Actually there is also IMAPv4, but we'll pretend that POP3 is the only way)&#xD;&#xA;Read the above 2 lines again, they are very important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email Applications work:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP communication is present on your computer, no matter what email client you use.  Any time an email is sent out, your computer uses SMTP to send the email.  It doesn’t matter if you're using Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a custom made program.  All programs use SMTP to send emails.  Why? Because SMTP it is the only way to send email.  By using standards you are guaranteed that, even know user A uses Outlook, and user B uses Eudora, both of the users will be able to communicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is HTTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I can get to what web mail is, you first need to know what HTTP is.&#xD;&#xA;HTTP is just another standard protocol.  But HTTP is meant to download files and web pages, unlike SMTP which is meant to send emails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is web mail?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Web mail is an online web page that allows you to send and receive emails using HTTP. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But wait a minute, didn’t I just say that the ONLY way to send email was using SMTP?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes!  What the web page does, is provide you with a form that you fill out.  Your computer doesn’t know that it is any different from a form that you fill out to enter your credit card information, or a form that you fill out to enter your home address, or a form that you fill out to sign into another web site.  All your computer knows is that you are filling out a form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you press the send button, your web browser sends the form to the server.   The server knows that this form is for email though.  So the server interprets the form and extracts the needed information.  The HTTP server then uses SMTP to send the message.  Because the only way that a message is going to get from User A to User B is using SMTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the web browser has done is fooled you into thinking that you are sending an email.  But what’s really happening, is that your web browser is filling out a form, and then the web server is using SMTP to send your email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can you give me a web mail walk through ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A wants to send an email to User B, User A is going to use web mail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A uses his browser to type in an internet address (for example: www.hotmail.com). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server and ask for the web page that is used for web mail in this case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that gives him options to compose mail, check mail, …&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A clicks on the compose a message link. Again User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with the web page (which contains a form) that allows User A to compose a message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A fills in the web page and presses send.  The page is sent back to the server using HTTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(* In the background, unknown to User A, the web server uses SMTP to send the email to User B. Why? Because the only way to send an email is to use SMTP *)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that says the email was sent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How does the web server use SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since SMTP is a standard protocol it uses SMTP in the same way any program would use SMTP.  See the section ‘How email works’.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is IMAPv4?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned IMAPv4 earlier.  IMAPv4 is a second (scond of two) method used by email clients to retreive your emails. IMAPv4 is also refered to as more simply IMAP.  IMAPv4 is more complex than POP3, but gives you the ability to work on your email from multiple computers.  If you use more then one computer, and you'd like to access your email from both computers, IMAP is the way to go.  POP3 is by far more popular than IMAPv4.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reference][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brianbondy.com/articles/howEmailWorks.aspx" />

Some standards include HTTP, SMTP, POP3, …&#xD;&#xA;There is official documentation that describes each individual standard and most standards have been around for 0 to 30 years.  &#xD;&#xA;Each standard document is a very detailed explanation of what the standard is and how it works.  Typically a standard has an RFC number associated with it, but there are many different types of standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Protocols**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP and POP3 are ‘standards’.  Each standard describes a different protocol.  A protocol is any kind of communication between 2 or more computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to send email.  Your computer uses SMTP to send email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is POP3?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to receive email.  Your computer uses POP3 to receive email.  POP3 is also referred to as simply POP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email works**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A wants to send an email to user B.&#xD;&#xA;User A writes up an email and presses send.&#xD;&#xA;User A’s computer, uses SMTP communication to send the email to User A’s (Yes A, not B)  SMTP server.&#xD;&#xA;User A’s SMTP server, sends the email to user B’s SMTP server using SMTP communication.&#xD;&#xA;User B when he feels like it, contacts his SMTP server and uses POP3 to download the messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Some important notes:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to send email is to use SMTP.  (Actually you can also use MAPI and some other things but let's not get into that) &#xD;&#xA;The only way to receive email is to use POP3. (Actually there is also IMAPv4, but we'll pretend that POP3 is the only way)&#xD;&#xA;Read the above 2 lines again, they are very important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email Applications work:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP communication is present on your computer, no matter what email client you use.  Any time an email is sent out, your computer uses SMTP to send the email.  It doesn’t matter if you're using Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a custom made program.  All programs use SMTP to send emails.  Why? Because SMTP it is the only way to send email.  By using standards you are guaranteed that, even know user A uses Outlook, and user B uses Eudora, both of the users will be able to communicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is HTTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I can get to what web mail is, you first need to know what HTTP is.&#xD;&#xA;HTTP is just another standard protocol.  But HTTP is meant to download files and web pages, unlike SMTP which is meant to send emails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is web mail?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Web mail is an online web page that allows you to send and receive emails using HTTP. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But wait a minute, didn’t I just say that the ONLY way to send email was using SMTP?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes!  What the web page does, is provide you with a form that you fill out.  Your computer doesn’t know that it is any different from a form that you fill out to enter your credit card information, or a form that you fill out to enter your home address, or a form that you fill out to sign into another web site.  All your computer knows is that you are filling out a form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you press the send button, your web browser sends the form to the server.   The server knows that this form is for email though.  So the server interprets the form and extracts the needed information.  The HTTP server then uses SMTP to send the message.  Because the only way that a message is going to get from User A to User B is using SMTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the web browser has done is fooled you into thinking that you are sending an email.  But what’s really happening, is that your web browser is filling out a form, and then the web server is using SMTP to send your email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can you give me a web mail walk through ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A wants to send an email to User B, User A is going to use web mail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A uses his browser to type in an internet address (for example: www.hotmail.com). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server and ask for the web page that is used for web mail in this case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that gives him options to compose mail, check mail, …&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A clicks on the compose a message link. Again User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with the web page (which contains a form) that allows User A to compose a message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;User A fills in the web page and presses send.  The page is sent back to the server using HTTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(* In the background, unknown to User A, the web server uses SMTP to send the email to User B. Why? Because the only way to send an email is to use SMTP *)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that says the email was sent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How does the web server use SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since SMTP is a standard protocol it uses SMTP in the same way any program would use SMTP.  See the section ‘How email works’.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is IMAPv4?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned IMAPv4 earlier.  IMAPv4 is a second (second of two) method used by email clients to retrieve your emails. IMAPv4 is also referred to as more simply IMAP.  IMAPv4 is more complex than POP3, but gives you the ability to work on your email from multiple computers.  If you use more then one computer, and you'd like to access your email from both computers, IMAP is the way to go.  POP3 is by far more popular than IMAPv4.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reference][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brianbondy.com/articles/howEmailWorks.aspx" />

Some people may even be using Private Browsing modes. However, only few seem to realise that Adobe's Flash player leaves a cross-browser trail on your local hard drive, and allows for sending cookie-like information back to the server, including third-party sites. And because it is a plugin, Flash does not take any of the browser's privacy settings into account. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, some details:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Flash player keeps a cross-browser history of the domain names of the Flash-sites your computer has visited. Unlike your browser's history, this history is not limited to a certain number of days. History is also recorded while using so-called Private Browsing modes. It is stored on your hard drive (though, as described below, without going to Adobe's site you won't know what is stored).&#xD;&#xA;- I am not sure if any date and time information is kept about each visit, but to see the domain names: right-click on some Flash content, open the settings dialog, and click the Help icon or click the *Advanced* button within the *Privacy* tab. This opens a browser to the [help pages][1] on Adobe.com, where one can click through to the [*Website Privacy Settings*][2] panel.&#xD;&#xA;- One can clear the existing list, but one cannot stop it from being recorded again.&#xD;&#xA;- Flash allows for storing data on your local hard drive, using so-called [Local Shared Objects][3] (aka &quot;Flash Cookies&quot;). Just like HTTP cookies, this data *can* be sent back to the server, for tracking purposes. They are cross-browser, have no expiration date, and no user defined maximum lifetime can be set in the Flash preferences either. These not being HTTP cookies, they are (of course) not blocked by a browser's cookies preferences and are not removed when the normal HTTP cookies are deleted.&#xD;&#xA;- Local Shared Objects are not limited to the site you visit, and third-party storage is enabled by default. At the [*Global Storage Settings*][4] panel one can deselect the default *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer*. Because of the cross-browser and expiration-less nature (and the fact that little people know about it), I feel that the cross-browser third-party Flash Cookies are more dangerous for visitor tracking than third-party normal HTTP cookies. They are even [used to restore][5] plain HTTP cookies.&#xD;&#xA;- When selecting *None* (Zero KB) for *Specify the amount of disk space that website websites that you haven't yet visited can use to store information on your computer*, and checking *Never ask again* then some sites do not work. However, the same site might work when setting it to *None* but without selecting *Never ask again*, and then choose *Deny* whenever [prompted][6]. Both options would result in zero KB of data being allowed.&#xD;&#xA;- The plugin also provides a [Flash Player cache][7] for Adobe-signed files. I guess these files are not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: **how to automatically delete that information?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a Mac, one can find a `settings.sol` file and a folder for each visited Flash-website in:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can anyone find the location on other operating systems?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I seems that removing these folders, *including* the `settings.sol` file, removes the trail. At least the settings panels no longer show the domains then. (For the very suspicious using Time Machine: you may want to exclude this folder, for each user, and [remove][8] the trace that is already on your backup.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then: how to do that automatically? Simply removing the folders and the `settings.sol` file every now and then (like by using `launchd` or Windows' Task Scheduler) may interfere with active browsers. Or is it safe to assume that, given the cross-browser nature, the plugin would not care if things are removed while it is active? Only clearing during log-off may not work for those who hibernate all the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firefox users can install [BetterPrivacy][9] or [Objection][10] to delete the local shared objects (for all others browsers as well). I don't know if that also deletes the trail of website domain names.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Final note: if the above links to the setting panels do not work in the future, then use [www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager][11] as a starting point.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.unitedvirtualities.com/UV-Pressrelease03-31-05.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help06.html&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flash_player_cache_02.html&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://serverfault.com/questions/9422/what-is-time-machine-doing/39310#39310&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://objection.mozdev.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager" />

Some standards include HTTP, SMTP, POP3, …&#xD;&#xA;There is official documentation that describes each individual standard and most standards have been around for 0 to 30 years.  &#xD;&#xA;Each standard document is a very detailed explanation of what the standard is and how it works.  Typically a standard has an RFC number associated with it, but there are many different types of standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Protocols**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP and POP3 are ‘standards’.  Each standard describes a different protocol.  A protocol is any kind of communication between 2 or more computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to send email.  Your computer uses SMTP to send email.   [See RFC 821, August 1982][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is POP3?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to receive email.  Your computer uses POP3 to receive email.  POP3 is also referred to as simply POP.  See [RFC 1939, May 1996][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email works**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to user B.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A writes up an email and presses send.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer, uses SMTP communication to send the email to User A’s (Yes A, not B) SMTP server.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s SMTP server, sends the email to user B’s SMTP server using SMTP communication.  &#xD;&#xA;- User B when he feels like it, contacts his SMTP server and uses POP3 to download the   messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Some important notes:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to send email is to use SMTP.  (Actually you can also use MAPI and some other things but let's not get into that) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to receive email is to use POP3. (Actually there is also IMAPv4, but we'll pretend that POP3 is the only way)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email Applications work:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP communication is present on your computer, no matter what email client you use.  Any time an email is sent out, your computer uses SMTP to send the email.  It doesn’t matter if you're using Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a custom made program.  All programs use SMTP to send emails.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By using standards you are guaranteed that, even know user A uses Outlook, and user B uses Eudora, and they both have different SMTP servers both of the users will be able to communicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is HTTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I can get to what web mail is, you first need to know what HTTP is.&#xD;&#xA;HTTP is just another standard protocol.  But HTTP is meant to download files and web pages, unlike SMTP which is meant to send emails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is web mail?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Web mail is an online web page that allows you to send and receive emails using HTTP. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But wait a minute, didn’t I just say that the ONLY way to send email was using SMTP?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes!  What the web page does, is provide you with a form that you fill out.  Your computer doesn’t know that it is any different from a form that you fill out to enter your credit card information, or a form that you fill out to enter your home address, or a form that you fill out to sign into another web site.  All your computer knows is that you are filling out a form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you press the send button, your web browser sends the form to the server.   The server knows that this form is for email though.  So the server interprets the form and extracts the needed information.  The HTTP server then uses SMTP to send the message.  Because the only way that a message is going to get from User A to User B is using SMTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the web browser has done is fooled you into thinking that you are sending an email.  But what’s really happening, is that your web browser is filling out a form, and then the web server is using SMTP to send your email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can you give me a web mail walk through ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to User B, User A is going to use web mail.&#xD;&#xA;- User A uses his browser to type in an internet address (for example: www.hotmail.com). &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server and ask for the web page that is used for web mail in this case.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that gives him options to compose mail, check mail, …&#xD;&#xA;- User A clicks on the compose a message link. Again User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with the web page (which contains a form) that allows User A to compose a message.&#xD;&#xA;- User A fills in the web page and presses send.  The page is sent back to the server using HTTP.&#xD;&#xA;- In the background, unknown to User A, the web server uses SMTP to send the email to User B. Why? Because the only way to send an email is to use SMTP&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that says the email was sent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How does the web server use SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since SMTP is a standard protocol it uses SMTP in the same way any program would use SMTP.  See the section ‘How email works’.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is IMAPv4?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned IMAPv4 earlier.  IMAPv4 is a second (second of two) method used by email clients to retrieve your emails. IMAPv4 is also referred to as more simply IMAP.  IMAPv4 is more complex than POP3, but gives you the ability to work on your email from multiple computers.  If you use more then one computer, and you'd like to access your email from both computers, IMAP is the way to go.  POP3 is by far more popular than IMAPv4.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reference][3] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/smtp/rfc0821.txt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://brianbondy.com/articles/howEmailWorks.aspx" />

Some standards include HTTP, SMTP, POP3, …&#xD;&#xA;There is official documentation that describes each individual standard and most standards have been around for 0 to 30 years.  &#xD;&#xA;Each standard document is a very detailed explanation of what the standard is and how it works.  Typically a standard has an RFC number associated with it, but there are many different types of standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Protocols**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP and POP3 are ‘standards’.  Each standard describes a different protocol.  A protocol is any kind of communication between 2 or more computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to send email.  Your computer uses SMTP to send email.   [See RFC 821, August 1982][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is POP3?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to receive email.  Your computer uses POP3 to receive email.  POP3 is also referred to as simply POP.  See [RFC 1939, May 1996][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 typically will connect to the mail server and download messages to your computer.  It can then optionally delete the message from the server (which it is usually setup to do). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email works**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to user B.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A writes up an email and presses send.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer, uses SMTP communication to send the email to User A’s (Yes A, not B) SMTP server.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s SMTP server, sends the email to user B’s SMTP server using SMTP communication.  &#xD;&#xA;- User B when he feels like it, contacts his SMTP server and uses POP3 to download the   messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Some important notes:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to send email is to use SMTP.  (Actually you can also use MAPI and some other things but let's not get into that) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to receive email is to use POP3. (Actually there is also IMAPv4, but we'll pretend that POP3 is the only way)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email Applications work:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP communication is present on your computer, no matter what email client you use.  Any time an email is sent out, your computer uses SMTP to send the email.  It doesn’t matter if you're using Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a custom made program.  All programs use SMTP to send emails.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By using standards you are guaranteed that, even know user A uses Outlook, and user B uses Eudora, and they both have different SMTP servers both of the users will be able to communicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is HTTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I can get to what web mail is, you first need to know what HTTP is.&#xD;&#xA;HTTP is just another standard protocol.  But HTTP is meant to download files and web pages, unlike SMTP which is meant to send emails.   See [HTTP 1.1 RFC 2616, June 1999][3]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is web mail?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Web mail is an online web page that allows you to send and receive emails using HTTP. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But wait a minute, didn’t I just say that the ONLY way to send email was using SMTP?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes!  What the web page does, is provide you with a form that you fill out.  Your computer doesn’t know that it is any different from a form that you fill out to enter your credit card information, or a form that you fill out to enter your home address, or a form that you fill out to sign into another web site.  All your computer knows is that you are filling out a form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you press the send button, your web browser sends the form to the server.   The server knows that this form is for email though.  So the server interprets the form and extracts the needed information.  The HTTP server then uses SMTP to send the message.  Because the only way that a message is going to get from User A to User B is using SMTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the web browser has done is fooled you into thinking that you are sending an email.  But what’s really happening, is that your web browser is filling out a form, and then the web server is using SMTP to send your email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can you give me a web mail walk through ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to User B, User A is going to use web mail.&#xD;&#xA;- User A uses his browser to type in an internet address (for example: www.hotmail.com). &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server and ask for the web page that is used for web mail in this case.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that gives him options to compose mail, check mail, …&#xD;&#xA;- User A clicks on the compose a message link. Again User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with the web page (which contains a form) that allows User A to compose a message.&#xD;&#xA;- User A fills in the web page and presses send.  The page is sent back to the server using HTTP.&#xD;&#xA;- In the background, unknown to User A, the web server uses SMTP to send the email to User B. Why? Because the only way to send an email is to use SMTP&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that says the email was sent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How does the web server use SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since SMTP is a standard protocol it uses SMTP in the same way any program would use SMTP.  See the section ‘How email works’.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is IMAPv4?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned IMAPv4 earlier.  IMAPv4 is a second method used by email clients to retrieve your emails. IMAPv4 is also referred to as more simply IMAP.  IMAPv4 is more complex than POP3, but gives you the ability to work on your email from multiple computers.  If you use more than one computer, and you'd like to access your email from both computers, IMAP is the way to go.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMAP stores all of its data on the mail server.  In that way each mail client from each different computer can be in sync.  When you read an email from one computer, your work computer will also see that the message is read.  Since data is stored on the server, IMAP email accounts are typically more expensive. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reference][4] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/smtp/rfc0821.txt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brianbondy.com/articles/howEmailWorks.aspx" />

On a laptop, you'll want some of it but there is a lot of stuff that shouldn't be running. Ditto for programs like Adobe Reader, Java, Quicktime, etc. that insist on shoving themselves into Startup. It isn't necessary to do registry hacks or run CCleaner for this purpose (although I do like it for maintenance*). All you need to do is manage your Startup to see what's going on. If you don't know what something is, you Google its name (or of course you can post back here if you can't find it). That way you can make an informed decision about whether you want it running in the background. After all, what you need to have run and what I need to have run may be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So here's how to manage your Startup on Vista:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Start Orb&gt;Search box&gt;type: msconfig and when it appears in the Results box above, right-click and choose &quot;Run as Administrator&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then tick the box that says in effect, &quot;don't bother me about this again&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes. Instead, use Services.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Start Orb&gt;Search box&gt;type: services and when it appears in the Results box above, right-click and choose &quot;Run As Administrator&quot;. Confirm elevation as needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup&#xD;&#xA;http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And of course, you need to have at least 2GB of RAM (memory) for Vista to run acceptably.

If you are talking about a device driver or some other COM component etc, then yes this may be necessary, but not for GUI applications such as Word processors or spreadsheets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite possible to write an application that either checks on start-up for required registry settings, and prompts the user for them / uses defaults.

Also don't forget the Eclipse platform, which is quite mature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **User experience/installation**:&#xD;&#xA;  You need extensive restarting if you install Windows, and linux (Ubuntu) installs with one reboot. Of course, windows is most of the time already pre-installed, but it actually takes more time to remove all trial and 60-day 3rd party limieted software packages from the system than installing linux from scratch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Reliability**: Everybody knows you have to re-install XP every year to keep it going.

And how reliable is windows with all the virusses and hackers out there?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Drivers**: I'm sure there is more hardware that works with linux than with windows. Of course, windows is the de-facto standard, but if you look closely when you buy, this problem is nowhere compared to, say 5-10 years ago.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me the following reasons are the most valid ones though:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Games&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Corporate dictatorship requiring the use of non-open products or support for only internet explorer browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Development for Windows platform.

Gmail is &quot;cloud email&quot;.  Superuser.com is &quot;cloud crowdsource technical support&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What problems does it solve?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The theory is that service providers like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon (to name a few of the big providers) can build a better and more reliable datacenter than you can, and at less cost to you.  The service provider also manages the application version upgrades and data storage issues for you.  These can reduce the costs you would have of trying to run these services yourselves -- compare the costs of managing an Exchange server, for example, with Gmail For Domains. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It also gives you/your staff/your team the ability to have access to the same working environment wherever they are -- the computer at home has access to the same tools that the computer in the office does.  And if either computer dies, the data is safe in the cloud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What problems does it create?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firstly, you are now even more dependant on your internet connection.  If there is an issue with your connection, everyone has a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Secondly, you lack immediate control over your data -- if the service provider fails, there may not be able to retreive it in a timely manner, if at all.  Also the data is subject to the local laws wherever the service is hosted -- Canadian companies using US service providers would have their data be subject to US search-and-seizure laws.

I spend most of my time programming and working in the terminal.

I really want the projects list to be organized **chronologically**, but Aperture lists projects **alphabetically**.  So this forces me to break projects up into subfolders by year.  For example, here is a sample of my projects list:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2007&#xD;&#xA;  08 - Vacation in Aruba&#xD;&#xA;2008&#xD;&#xA;  12 - Merry Christmas&#xD;&#xA;2009&#xD;&#xA;  01 - New Years Day&#xD;&#xA;  01 - Life at the Party&#xD;&#xA;  02 - End of February&#xD;&#xA;  02 - Valentines Day&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see I am following the following naming convention:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     YEAR&#xD;&#xA;&gt;      MONTH - ProjectName&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This gets a little cumbersome because, since Aperture lists projects in alphabetical order, events in the same month can occur out of order.  For instance, in the 2009 events above, &quot;*02-End of February*&quot; and &quot;*02 - Valetines Day*&quot; are in alpha orded not chronological order.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I could go so far as to name each project with the full date:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2009&#xD;&#xA;  02-14 - Valentines Day&#xD;&#xA;  02-22 - End of February&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this seems like overkill to me.  This kind of project organization feels like a basic feature to me, and one that is built into iPhoto and Picasa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Am I trying to bend Aperture to my will too much?  &#xD;&#xA;2. Should I try to adopt a different workflow that isn't based upon chronology and just use the &quot;All Projects View&quot; for searching through time? &#xD;&#xA;3.

I love the Bing homepage's daily photo and trivia&#xD;&#xA;2. I found the Travel features to be intuitive and useful... except I don't have a need for these features except on very rare occasions&#xD;&#xA;3. The search results seemed good enough, although I often did have the feeling that I couldn't find what I really wanted and would try the same search in Google. There were a few times that Google did return the results I was looking for better than Bing. Although this is more that Bing didn't return the results I expected (from using Google for so long), not that Bing's results were bad.&#xD;&#xA;4. Hovering over the search result in Bing gives you a nice pop-up of additional content from the result page. This is pretty, but I never felt compelled to use it.&#xD;&#xA;5. With the exception of the homepage, I still prefer the minimalistic feel of Google's result page over Bing's. This is very much personal preference though." />

Actually my laptop has recently suffered the same fate and I just ordered replacement fans.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some possible causes and fixes could be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Dust.** Looks like you've handled this already but the idea is open it up as much as you can and remove the dust. Cans of air work well here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Old fans.** Fans are motors and will fail over time, especially if there was a lot of dust and they were working overtime (straining the motors). Replacing the case fans is usually a simple process. CPU/GPU fans can be a pain if they're part of a heatsink module. Put your hand in front of the fans and see if they're actually blowing some good air. If not, I would try replacing the fans before doing anything else, especially if they're making noise (a sign the bearings are slipping).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Inadequate airflow.** This could be a number of things, but the system being in a corner or enclosed space, not enough holes or fans in the case, and the like are common. It'll also cause fans to work overtime, reducing their life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Heat sink has come loose.** Over time, especially if it's running hotter than it should, heat sinks can come loose and screws can back off. Generally if a heat sink is hot to the touch, it's doing its job. If not and the temperature is being reported high, this is something to check out. If they need reattaching or replacing, be sure to use a good thermal compound and clean the contact points before applying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **You're pulling too much power.** Make sure the power supply is powerful enough to drive everything you've got. Otherwise the motors won't have enough to get going. This can be a problem if you've recently added something that requires power." />

Here are a few of the things that make the Dell so nice:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Light weight - the Mini is extremely light, quite a bit lighter than most books I carry with me,&#xD;&#xA; - Silent - Because there are no moving parts, the Mini makes no sound at all; the only thing you can hear are the keys.&#xD;&#xA; - Fast - Even with only 1GB of RAM, it handles Windows 7 Ultimate like a champ. Though I would strongly recommend against running Vista on it, as Vista just doesn't deal well with low memory installs. Don't run XP either, at least for me Windows 7 performs better.&#xD;&#xA; - Battery life - Even with the small 4-cell battery, I was able to get 5+ hours from a change.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many people complain about the small SSDs that the Mini came with, though for me at least I've found that this really isn't an issue. Most of my data is stored in the cloud (Gmail, Amazon S3, FTP Servers) that I use a fairly small amount of disk space. My Mini has the original 16GB SSD, and still has about 8GB available.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the Aspire One - it has a traditional hard drive giving it much more storage space and the keyboard is larger allowing a more traditional design. Though overall the design doesn't seem as solid as the Dell Mini - it's a decent netbook, though I won't be buying another.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Biggest complaint: Keyboard - I've yet to find a notebook keyboard that I like. It's just something you get used to eventually I guess.&#xD;&#xA;" />

The clean install is where I went wrong -- like an idiot (and I admit this), I did not back up the EFS key in use on a bunch of my financial and other sensitive files. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I copied all those files (as well as my other documents, source control repositories, etc.) to my second hard drive (formatted NTFS, so EFS stuck around) before the migration. Again, the EFS attributes stuck around, and -- because I'm a dork -- I not only didn't back up the EFS keys, but I also didn't remove the encryption from these files. (I would like to state at this point that the lesson has been learned; I don't even use EFS anymore at all.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've tried a variety of applications available online, including several paid apps, and none have had any luck. My hunch is that this is due to wiping and rebuilding the OS from scratch, as the SIDs of my user accounts obviously changed, and the EFS keys were simply gone, not part of the OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to get at these files, or at least be able to delete them without reformatting the drive they're on. :) Does anyone have any advice?

I'll give you my standard Mac-XP answer and also the extra work you need to do if any of your Windows machines are running Vista. This last bit isn't necessary in Win7. I'm going to assume you've already set up your Windows file/printer sharing correctly and the Windows machines have no issues sharing files between themselves. Presumably whatever firewalls are running on these machines are correctly configured to allow LAN traffic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To successfully share between Windows and Mac, make sure you have created identical user accounts/passwords on all the machines. Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mac - user is Alexis, password 1234&#xD;&#xA;Windows - create a user Alexis, password 1234&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the Mac, make sure you are using the SMB protocol and not AFP. You set your Windows Sharing up in System Preferences&gt;Sharing. Make sure you've allowed File Sharing (SMB) in your Mac's Firewall (System Preferences&gt;Security&gt;Firewall).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of the Windows computers are XP Pro or Media Center, go to Control Panel&gt;Folder Options&gt;View and uncheck &quot;use Simple File Sharing&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of the Windows computers are running Vista, you need to do a bit more work:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Vista Business/Ultimate only -&#xD;&#xA;Start Orb&gt;Search box&gt;type: secpol.msc&#xD;&#xA;When secpol.msc appears in Results above, right-click it and &quot;run as administrator&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Click on &quot;Local Policies&quot; --&gt; &quot;Security Options&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Navigate to the policy &quot;Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level&quot; and double-click it to get its Properties.

Use the drop-down arrow to change this to &quot;LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so per MVP Steve Winograd, do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Start Orb&gt;Search box&gt;type: regedit&#xD;&#xA;When regedit appears in the Results above, right-click it and &quot;run as administrator&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

Set the value to 1 and reboot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My experience with Leopard (and I'm running the latest, 10.5.7) is that sometimes the Windows machines will not show up automatically in the Shared section of Finder.

The advantage of S/PDIF (both coax and optical) is that it carries a digital signal down the line. This is essential when you're doing things like sending a DTS or Dolby Digital (AC3) signal to a receiver which can decode those signals. Often receivers have better digital to analog converters than on board audio controllers. Additionally, if your speakers are far away, an S/PDIF allows you to carry 5.1 over just one cable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you're just piping audio from your computer to a set of inexpensive desktop surround speakers, you're not going to hear much of a difference in most cases.

In [Quad-Core Desktops and Diminishing Returns][2], I questioned how effectively today's software can really use even four CPU cores, much less the inevitable eight and sixteen CPU cores we'll see a few years from now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are answered here (highlight copied from Jeff's article),&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;However, there were some surprises in here, such as Excel 2007, and the Lost Planet &quot;concurrent operations&quot; setting. It's possible software engineering will eventually advance to the point that clock speed matters less than parallelism. Or eventually it might be irrelevant, if we don't get to make the choice between faster clock speeds and more CPU cores. But in the meantime, **clock speed wins most of the time. More CPU cores isn't automatically better**. Typical users will be better off with the fastest possible dual-core CPU they can afford.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;The issue of the [Front-side Bus][3] (that term always amused me).  &#xD;&#xA;[With Nehalem things change][4]... as ArsTechnica said last year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Moore's Law has given processor designers an embarrassment of transistor riches, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Intel's 45nm Nehalem processor. Debuting in 4- and 8-core variants later this year, Nehalem packs a ton of hardware into a single processor socket. (Early numbers put the transistor count of a quad-core Nehalem at 781 million; no numbers for the 8-core model have appeared yet.) But trying to feed all of that hardware with the Intel platform's existing frontside bus architecture would be folly. So, just as importantly, Nehalem also sounds the long-overdue death knell for Intel's positively geriatric frontside bus architecture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The radical change in Intel's system bandwidth situation that Intel's new [QuickPath Interconnect][5] (QPI) represents is perhaps the largest single factor that shaped Nehalem's design. Between QuickPath and Nehalem's integrated memory controller, a Nehalem processor will have access to an unprecedented amount of aggregate bandwidth, especially in two- and four-socket implementations. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;AMD moved the memory controller into the processor earlier and used Hypertransport.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000942.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000655.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-side_bus&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2008/04/what-you-need-to-know-about-nehalem.ars&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070904-abrief-look-at-intels-new-common-systems-interconnect-csi.html" />

Change the default password and, if possible, user name for logging into your router (but write both down when you do so).&#xD;&#xA; 2. (Or maybe 1) Use WPA-PSK - to the best standard all your kit supports (if some of your stuff only supports WEP replace it or use an alternative method to network it). Use a longish pass phrase - doesn't have to be random, a good set of words using mixed case and some punctuation will do pretty much as well and will be easier to remember and to enter into devices various. If you're going to allow access to visitors/guests (which is where practical comes in) then have it written/printed on something they can copy from but don't leave that in plain site.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Don't broadcast the SSID, makes you harder to find good for people you want to keep away, less good for guests/visitors etc as you have to jump through more hoops to connect in the first place.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Restrict the mac addresses - at this point to add a new device to your wireless network starts to become a chore as it requires that you have to make config changes at the router to add the device so we're starting to get less practical though more secure. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point I think we're pretty much at the limit of what one might do in terms of wireless and home networks although I'm happy to be corrected. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considerations beyond this are the normal ones for any network i.e. that the other devices on your network should be secured to whatever degree is appropriate - if you don't want other people who are on your network to be able to ferret through your files then you should be protecting the accounts/servers/folders/etc containing those files.&#xD;&#xA;" />

This is a WPA Personal architecture (as opposed to a WPA Enterprise architecture).&#xD;&#xA;  - Use a long passphrase, and do NOT write it down, just remember it (I see passwords on stickers everywhere, it drives me crazy).  You can make up any kind of WPA passphrase like this, for example: &quot;*I want to count 87$ potatoes forever twice*&quot;.  It's harder to guess when it doesn't really make sense... and it's actually easier to remember that way!  If you think that it takes too much time to type it, just save it, you're at home.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Note*: You need a long passphrase because WPA/PSK and WPA2/PSK are vulnerable to offline dictionary attacks.  Hackers can sniff a successful login attempt, and try millions of passwords *offline* until they find the one that matches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And of course all the other usual recommendations come to mind:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - Install an antivirus and keep it up to date&#xD;&#xA;  - Activate your firewall&#xD;&#xA;  - Change your router's password&#xD;&#xA;  - Deactivate the access to its admin interface through the Web, unless you really need it&#xD;&#xA;  - Do not activate its DMZ functionality&#xD;&#xA;  - Do not give away your personal address on Facebook or anywhere on the Web&#xD;&#xA;  - Do not chat with psychopaths&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Should you avoid WPA/TKIP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes and no.  A flaw in WPA and WPA2 with TKIP encryption has recently been discovered by researchers.  People have claimed that WPA/TKIP is broken.  It is NOT... yet.  For now, the flaw only allows (very motivated) hackers to decipher some small packets, once in a while.  It would not allow them to do much harm.  So if your WiFi equipments only support WPA/TKIP, don't panic.  WPA/TKIP is battered but not broken.  Just go ahead and upgrade your equipments to WPA2/AES Personal when you have some money to spend.  Don't rush.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Solutions I do NOT recommend**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These &quot;solutions&quot; will only make your life more complicated, without giving you any kind of real security:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - WEP encryption : it's been broken for years.&#xD;&#xA;  - MAC filtering : complicated to manage, trivial to spoof&#xD;&#xA;  - No SSID broadcasting : trivial to detect a &quot;hidden&quot; SSID.  Only keeps neighbors and friends away. WPA2/AES would keep them away anyway, unless you wanted to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Solutions for a medium or large organisation**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is just a free bonus, you may want to skip it (the question was just about Home security).  ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - Use WPA2/AES Enterprise (requires a RADIUS Server for authentication, authorisation and accounting) with PEAP/Ms-CHAP-v2 or TTLS/PAP.&#xD;&#xA;      - Alternatively, if you have an existing VPN solution, you may find it simpler to just use it instead of deploying a WPA2/AES Enterprise solution.  Leave your WiFi network open, but connect your access points to a separate VLAN, configure your access points to prohibit all direct traffic between users, and configure your network firewall to allow traffic only to and from your VPN server.&#xD;&#xA;  - Prohibit weak passwords such as &quot;1234&quot;, &quot;qwerty&quot; or dictionary words.&#xD;&#xA;  - PEAP/Ms-CHAP-v2 and TTLS/PAP authentication methods are NOT vulnerable to offline dictionary attacks so you should NOT try to enforce ultra-complicated passwords (such as &quot;L9fl!1~SjQQ$AjN&quot;): it is annoying and counter-productive.  Users will forget them or, again, they will write them down on stickers.&#xD;&#xA;  - Instead, users should be allowed to have &quot;reasonable&quot; passwords (8 characters, avoiding things like &quot;1234&quot;).  Passwords should be simple enough to remember, but complicated enough so that you couldn't guess them with just a few thousand tries.&#xD;&#xA;  - Make sure your authentication server is configured to detect brute force attacks&#xD;&#xA;  - Monitor your network for intrusion and detect rogue APs.&#xD;&#xA;" />

In any scheme you come up with - that is an open standard subject to implementation scrutiny - your general goal is for there to be no discovered techniques that can do better than brute force search against the site's selected credentials. That is, there should be no real short cuts to determine the secret keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the case of WPA PSK, there are no short cuts shown to beat brute force. The only published techniques *so far* have been demonstrated techniques for discovering poorly chosen (ie: easily guessed) pass phrases via an analysis of captured wireless traffic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion this is hardly an exploit of any significance. It is an important property to understand, but leads to the conclusion of something that we already knew - the security can only be as good as the pass phrase chosen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the original question to recommendations for practical security in a home environment, you actually have excellent security if you do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) Select a long pass phrase (more than 10 characters) that contains numeric digits, punctuation and/or mixed case. Ideally, some &quot;words&quot; in the phrase are chosen as non-sense &quot;baby talk&quot; words that are not found in a dictionary and the longer the better. This rule is no different than the recommendations of the selection of a secure password used for any other type of access credential.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) Use a non-default SSID that is not likely used by others. This is to thwart dictionary attacks against common SSID's. It shouldn't matter if you use a good pass phrase, but it is a good extra measure&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Turning off SSID broadcasts and/or MAC address based lock downs are a waste of time. The MAC's are easily spoofed and discovering the real SSID is trivial even if broadcasts are off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Conclusion:*** WPA PSK is ***very secure*** if a well chosen pass phrase is used." />

But that was several years back.  Things have likely changed significantly since then, both in terms of $ per watt (higher now) and watts per PC (higher than in 1999, but actually _down_ I think in the last couple years).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Taking that as a starting point though, if you figure a PC lasts for 5 years that's $1000, or double the cost of a basic PC.  If you can halve the power use of the PC you'll shave $500 off the TCO, or roughly $9/mo.  But again, things have changed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know another big difference is that my old estimates included display power costs.  Early LCDs used significantly less power than CRTs, to the point where they'd pay for themselves fairly quickly in many business scenarios where the display was on 8hrs or more per day (we have this to thank for how quickly LCDs achieved enough economy of scale to get so cheap so fast).  Recent displays are brighter and use more power again.  But in this case the machine will likely be headless, and that will throw my estimate off even further.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a final note, the reason the $200 per year number has stuck so long in my head is that it stayed true for a very long time.  Given there are number of factors affecting it in both directions &amp;mdash; increased energy costs, increased overall requirements, followed by improved efficiency and removing the need to power a display &amp;mdash; the number may not be all that far off." />

One way of doing something about this is undervolting the CPU.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it may sound like it, undervolting will NOT harm performance - it merely lowers the voltage to the CPU. An electric component needs a certain amount of voltage to function (and also it cannot be too much!) or it won't work properly - however not all CPUs (even within the same make and brand) are made equally and as such the minimum voltage under which they can function differs. Intel (and AMD too) sets a standard &quot;bar&quot; for which all their released CPUs MUST be able to function, however this is usually quite alot above what YOUR specific CPU needs. If you try undervolting too much your system will crash and reset the voltage settings, but no components will be damaged.&#xD;&#xA;A software for the Mac that can be used to undervolt the CPU is [Coolbook][1]. Read the instructions carefully and you should be good going - and please notice that the software is not free, however it is dirt cheap. I used it to succesfully undervolt my CPU and it dropped about 10C - another benefit of this is that it actually means your CPU uses less power - ie your battery lasts longer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html &quot;Coolbook&quot;" />

After 2 years of using there were two pieces of dirt hidden so deep, that compressed air cleaning did nothing.

Gmail parses your email to give better content advertising, Google Chrome looks at what web pages you go to collect data and create patterns.  This is all well and dandy if only Google uses it for its own purposes.  Unfortunately it has a history of giving said data up when the government comes knocking, which is a scary thought for some.  &#xD;&#xA;__How this effects me:__ This puts be a little on edge.

Gmail parses your email to give better content advertising, Google Chrome looks at what web pages you go to collect data and create patterns.  This is all well and dandy if only Google uses it for its own purposes.

For example, I can see that ⌘W is Close Tab in Safari, but if I hold the option key, it changes to ⌥⌘W, Close Other Tabs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have another major tip as well. When you're trying to get programs to interact with each other, or move data around, simple drag &amp; drop will work in probably more places than you expect it.

Most of the development time seems spent on the architecture (which was good in the long run but, not so engaging to normal users as it didn't break much ground over XP in that perspective).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hardware requirements went up a lot. Going to XP from 2000 wasn't really a change in architecture so little new hardware was needed. Having a PC from 2000 running Vista however, especially with the clunky UI and slow graphics drivers in beta if running Aero, could be taxing to say the least. So it was bloated, or blamed to be anyway. Compared to XP it certainly was.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the driver models were changed in many ways, graphics and other performance-wise important drivers were back to square one - performing badly in many games compared to mature XP drivers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the UI was new, things were moved all over the place, trying to find a control panel applet or just your documents became perhaps not a huge obstacle but an obstacle anyway for many users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The file copy that apparently was more accurate in not showing a copy as complete before it was flushed from cache made it look like it took ages to complete - hence some operations being really slow from a user experience standpoint. Just an example, I bet there are many more.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The UAC thing... When I install a Windows machine for someone, they don't get admin access by default. They get a separate admin account for administrative tasks, and they rarely need to use them. For them, UAC was never a problem, because they were used to run as a standard user hence no prompts ever appeared unless they tried something they weren't normally doing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But everyone who wasn't, and still ran their desktops as administrators 24/7 - obviously had UAC prompting them about stuff all the time, perhaps because they never thought about what they were actually doing as administrators or because they really needed to do those things... the fix should be easy though, if you want to run as admin, turn UAC off... it's not a security boundary anyway. Though I will get spanked recommending anyone running as admin by default so please don't ^^" />

Most of the development time seems spent on the architecture (which was good in the long run but, not so engaging to normal users as it didn't break much ground over XP in that perspective).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hardware requirements went up a lot. Going to XP from 2000 wasn't really a change in architecture so little new hardware was needed. Having a PC from 2000 running Vista however, especially with the clunky UI and slow graphics drivers in beta if running Aero, could be taxing to say the least. So it was bloated, or blamed to be anyway. Compared to XP it certainly was.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the driver models were changed in many ways, graphics and other performance-wise important drivers were back to square one - performing badly in many games compared to mature XP drivers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the UI was new, things were moved all over the place, trying to find a control panel applet or just your documents became perhaps not a huge obstacle but an obstacle anyway for many users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The file copy that apparently was more accurate in not showing a copy as complete before it was flushed from cache made it look like it took ages to complete - hence some operations being really slow from a user experience standpoint. Just an example, I bet there are many more.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The UAC thing... When I install a Windows machine for someone (yes even relatives, non-corperate stuff), they don't get admin access by default. They get a separate admin account for administrative tasks, and they rarely need to use them. For them, UAC was never a problem, because they were used to run as a standard user hence no prompts ever appeared unless they tried something they weren't normally doing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But everyone who wasn't, and still ran their desktops as administrators 24/7 - obviously had UAC prompting them about stuff all the time, perhaps because they never thought about what they were actually doing as administrators or because they really needed to do those things... the fix should be easy though, if you want to run as admin, turn UAC off... it's not a security boundary anyway. Though I will get spanked recommending anyone running as admin by default so please don't ^^&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there's no end to possible reasons it's disliked... it's already a novel, doh." />

Windows Vista and 7 include the driver, but don't install it if the boot drive's controller doesn't have AHCI enabled.

[cygwin][1].  Aside from the programming/development aspects, the bash shell is great.  For me, this is the best way to navigate/traverse the file system.  I love being able to navigate the file system and perform operations w/o having to touch the mouse or even look at the monitor.&#xD;&#xA; 1. [VirtuaWin][2].  IMHO, this is one of the best virtual desktop solutions.  I find virtual desktops a must when multi-tasking and managing many, many windows.  I detest *window management*.  With this, I can set up my windows an separate desktops and never have to move/re-size them.  For me, the big win with VirtuaWin is that it supports *spacial navigation* so that you can move to the desktop to the right/left/up/down.  Quite convenient with you have 9 desktops in a 3x3 configuration.&#xD;&#xA; 1. [FinePrint][3].  This is a virtual printer that lets you do n-up printing.  For me, this satisfies 2 needs.  First, it reduces paper consumption (does anyone remember the aptly named SaveATree software for the old Mac operating systems?) Secondly, I work at many different locations (including home) and favor hardcopy for carrying around documentation/source code printouts...  n-up greatly reduces the weight and bulk of what I have to lug around.  (Aside, my proudest moment, using a2ps from cygwin and FinePrint to 36-up and duplex a large log file... just barely readable... was able to fit the 200 page printout on 3 pieces of paper).  Well worth the $50.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.cygwin.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://virtualwin.soureforge.net/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.fineprint.com/" />

People who aren't technical (and even a lot that are) simply believe what they are told. And why shouldn't they, most people *are* generally truthful. But in the case of Windows Vista, there were a few specific, negative articles of *dubious truth* that created a foundation of misinformation that Microsoft didn't kill or meaningfully respond to, allowing a culture of negativity to take over their product.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Case in point: [Peter Gutmann's A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection][1]. While the claims are (sometimes, comedically) false, it didn't matter. The executive summary calls Vista a &quot;suicide note&quot; ([great for headlines][2]). This lead to articles claiming Vista couldn't play back media well, put DRM on your MP3s, [and that it caused global warming][3]!.

The operating system, as well as the programs you're running, all use RAM.  However, there's only so much of it, and it can only be accessed so fast.  If your computer is trying to use a lot of RAM (often more than is availablee), it slows down.  It needs to create files extra *swap files* on the hard drive to act as extra, but less efficient, &quot;RAM.&quot;  This, among other things, makes your computer slow down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing some programs should free up RAM space, but *memory leaks* may have occurred.  That means that the program may have accidentally taken up RAM that it didn't/couldn't free up when it closed.  &quot;Ahhh,&quot; you say, &quot;it's going to eat up all my RAM!&quot;  Nope.  If you restart the computer, all the RAM is cleared out.  You've got more avaliable RAM, so your computer can run faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are other problems that could be fixed by a restart, too.  For example, if a program somehow begins to use a huge amount of processor cycles (each cycle consists of a calculation, and all of these calculations make your computer &quot;computer,&quot; aka work).  When the computer is restarted, the control of the processor is *unconditionally* given to the bootloader, and then it's handed off to the OS, which can start from scratch.  It's no longer being dominated by the greedy program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet another possibility is that the computer was overheating.  Overheating, simply put, isn't good for the computer.  Turning a the machine off and leaving it to cool for a few minutes couldn't hurt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary, a restart puts the computer into a state where the right software is controlling the right (possibly cooler) hardware, in a state this is already known to work right." />

In [Quad-Core Desktops and Diminishing Returns][2], I questioned how effectively today's software can really use even four CPU cores, much less the inevitable eight and sixteen CPU cores we'll see a few years from now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are answered here (highlight copied from Jeff's article),&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;However, there were some surprises in here, such as Excel 2007, and the Lost Planet &quot;concurrent operations&quot; setting. It's possible software engineering will eventually advance to the point that clock speed matters less than parallelism. Or eventually it might be irrelevant, if we don't get to make the choice between faster clock speeds and more CPU cores. But in the meantime, **clock speed wins most of the time. More CPU cores isn't automatically better**. Typical users will be better off with the fastest possible dual-core CPU they can afford.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;The issue of the [**Front-Side Bus**][3] (that term always amused me).  &#xD;&#xA;[With Nehalem things change][4]... as ArsTechnica said last year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Moore's Law has given processor designers an embarrassment of transistor riches, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Intel's 45nm Nehalem processor. Debuting in 4- and 8-core variants later this year, Nehalem packs a ton of hardware into a single processor socket. (Early numbers put the transistor count of a quad-core Nehalem at 781 million; no numbers for the 8-core model have appeared yet.) But trying to feed all of that hardware with the Intel platform's existing frontside bus architecture would be folly. So, just as importantly, Nehalem also sounds the long-overdue death knell for Intel's positively geriatric frontside bus architecture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The radical change in Intel's system bandwidth situation that Intel's new [QuickPath Interconnect][5] (QPI) represents is perhaps the largest single factor that shaped Nehalem's design. Between QuickPath and Nehalem's integrated memory controller, a Nehalem processor will have access to an unprecedented amount of aggregate bandwidth, especially in two- and four-socket implementations. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;AMD moved the memory controller into the processor earlier and used Hypertransport.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000942.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000655.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-side_bus&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2008/04/what-you-need-to-know-about-nehalem.ars&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070904-abrief-look-at-intels-new-common-systems-interconnect-csi.html" />

For some reason MS just had to rename it to &quot;Programs and Features&quot;. How do you disable hibernation? Oh, there's no UI anymore - you need to run a command-line tool.

Since then, I've noticed the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After the computer has had an uptime of several hours, I start to get audio crackling and distortion during some network access. The crackling corresponds to spikes in DPC latency.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. There are no such problems right after a boot-up or restart; the [DPC Latency Checker][1] shows latency in the green when the computer has been up for a short amount of time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. The spikes get progressively worse with increasing uptime. Currently, I'm seeing peak values of 10000 - 16000 microseconds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. By uptime, I mean the length of time that the computer is actually on and awake, from boot-up. Time spent in standby mode does not seem to contribute to the increasing latency. Rebooting resets the crawling latency.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. The spikes don't seem to happen for *all* network access. They are worst when initiating connections (e.g. loading web pages, connecting to an SFTP server, browsing a network drive). For example, if I am downloading a large file, the latency only occurs at the beginning of the download.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  5. The spikes occur whether I am using a wireless or wired connection (Dell Wireless 1490, Broadcom 440x 10/100). No gigabit networking or anything that is known to cause audio problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  6. There don't seem to be any IRQ conflicts involved. The &quot;High Definition Audio Controller&quot; (*SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC*) is on IRQ 21; both of the network cards are on IRQ 17.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  7. The audio distortion occurs for every software audio source I've tested: iTunes, WMP, VLC player, Flash videos.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any idea what might be going on and how I might fix this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml" />

The financial industry has been in quite a fluid state for some time, so I expect my software to keep with the changes both in financial products and technology supporting the financial products.  It should be flexible to support both simple and complex levels of finances - from a single bank account to multiple accounts, financial instruments, real estate, metals, businesses, etc.   At this stage in the game, I expect it to provide &quot;ubiquitous&quot; data, meaning access to the data everywhere - phone, web, and desktop.  It should be simple too use and take advantage of technology to ease the process.  Quicken allows you to enter data multiple ways depending on your preference.  I have tried other applications such as MS Money, but they seem too intent on fitting you into their mold.  Because it is what I do, I tend to push these apps farther than most people and demand more of them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A long time ago I used Andrew Tobias' Managing Your Money (wow that was a LONG time ago!) but since that went down the tubes I switched to Quicken and never looked back.  Intuit, the company that makes Quicken, is very user-centric and listens to ideas.  Their product is constantly improving.  I prefer Quicken above the online solutions because the online solutions trap your data online.  I've seen how the net can go down and I want a solution that doesn't have that weakness.  Quicken also provides a similar experience to its business solution QuickBooks.  As a CPA, Quickbooks is my solution of choice for small business because of its ease of use, technically sound accounting, integration with other office software and compared to other competitors, less problems and greater flexibility to make it perform how you want it to.  The Reporting is also excellent on both Quicken and QuickBooks.  While I generally only recommend Quicken for small, part-time home businesses, QuickBooks handles business up to fairly substantial size.  Only when you run into high transaction volume and the need for complex reporting and chart of accounts do you need to consider alternatives, as that is where QuickBooks becomes limited." />

Off the top of my head, that means Quicksilver, Safari, XCode, GarageBand, and a lot of third-party media software.  Since you seem to be more of a programmer, you may encounter more software that works on Linux but not (yet) on OS X.  Do some research and find out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Graham Lee said, OS X has a more Unix-like kernel, but doesn't matter unless you're a purist.  Linux systems command more market share if you don't include Macs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's also the issue of hardware, as Keltia hinted.  If you're a hardware nut who likes tinkering, then Linux is likely the better choice.  If you want a computer that works out of the box and is well-polished, then go for a Mac.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And finally, consider the communities.  I don't want to get into stereotypes because I know many Mac and Linux users that break the mold in surprising ways, but maybe you care for image.  Hard to say." />

I used to put together PC's for a living for a year in the 90's. And I've built all my non-laptop PC's. It used to be easy, you just bough a bunch of pieces and stuck them together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But no more. It's getting very complex. I built my last one two years ago, when I wanted a multimedia machine, and I wanted it to look nice. More like a stereo than a PC, which was difficult to find ready-made, and they were expensive. So I built my own machine. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Was it worth it? Heck no. I spent days figuring out what processor went with which motherboard and what memory, and then when I was gonna buy it, it turned out that the stores online stocks were not updated, so they didn't have the things I wanted, so I needed to start over, pretty much. And then the network card sucked, so I had to change it, etc, etc. And then you need to install drivers and software, and all that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I made it more difficult for myself by using Linux for multimedia, I know that. But even if we remove that, I would have easily spent one week of work just putting together this machine and getting all the parts working and all the drivers, even if I had used Windows multimedia edition. Working overtime that time would have made more me money than I saved on the hardware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to build your own PC, do it because you think it is fun.

However, she uses skype constantly, mostly to reduce phone bills on international phone calls and to actually see (not only hear) her abroad sister.&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think she does not use web browser, because she does not need to. She felt the need to use skype, so she learned how to. This makes me think, that without any real will from your parents, you cannot teach them to use computer.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Some people may even be using Private Browsing modes. However, only few seem to realise that Adobe's Flash player leaves a cross-browser trail on your local hard drive, and allows for sending cookie-like information back to the server, including third-party sites. And because it is a plugin, Flash does not take any of the browser's privacy settings into account. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, some details:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Flash player keeps a cross-browser history of the domain names of the Flash-sites your computer has visited. Unlike your browser's history, this history is not limited to a certain number of days. History is also recorded while using so-called Private Browsing modes. It is stored on your hard drive (though, as described below, without going to Adobe's site you won't know what is stored).&#xD;&#xA;- I am not sure if any date and time information is kept about each visit, but to see the domain names: right-click on some Flash content, open the settings dialog, and click the Help icon or click the *Advanced* button within the *Privacy* tab. This opens a browser to the [help pages][1] on Adobe.com, where one can click through to the [*Website Privacy Settings*][2] panel.&#xD;&#xA;- One can clear the existing list, but one cannot stop it from being recorded again.&#xD;&#xA;- Flash allows for storing data on your local hard drive, using so-called [Local Shared Objects][3] (aka &quot;Flash Cookies&quot;). Just like HTTP cookies, this data *can* be sent back to the server, for tracking purposes. They are cross-browser, have no expiration date, and no user defined maximum lifetime can be set in the Flash preferences either. These not being HTTP cookies, they are (of course) not blocked by a browser's cookies preferences and are not removed when the normal HTTP cookies are deleted.&#xD;&#xA;- Local Shared Objects are not limited to the site you visit, and third-party storage is enabled by default. At the [*Global Storage Settings*][4] panel one can deselect the default *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer*. Because of the cross-browser and expiration-less nature (and the fact that little people know about it), I feel that the cross-browser third-party Flash Cookies are more dangerous for visitor tracking than third-party normal HTTP cookies. They are even [used to restore][5] plain HTTP cookies.&#xD;&#xA;- When selecting *None* (Zero KB) for *Specify the amount of disk space that website websites that you haven't yet visited can use to store information on your computer*, and checking *Never ask again* then some sites do not work. However, the same site might work when setting it to *None* but without selecting *Never ask again*, and then choose *Deny* whenever [prompted][6]. Both options would result in zero KB of data being allowed.&#xD;&#xA;- The plugin also provides a [Flash Player cache][7] for Adobe-signed files. I guess these files are not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: **how to automatically delete that information?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a Mac, one can find a `settings.sol` file and a folder for each visited Flash-website in:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can anyone find the location on other operating systems?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I seems that removing these folders, *including* the `settings.sol` file, removes the trail. At least the settings panels no longer show the domains then. (For the very suspicious using Time Machine: you may want to exclude this folder, for each user, and [remove][8] the trace that is already on your backup.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then: how to do that automatically? Simply removing the folders and the `settings.sol` file every now and then (like by using `launchd` or Windows' Task Scheduler) may interfere with active browsers. Or is it safe to assume that, given the cross-browser nature, the plugin would not care if things are removed while it is active? Only clearing during log-off may not work for those who hibernate all the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firefox users can install [BetterPrivacy][9] or [Objection][10] to delete the local shared objects (for all others browsers as well). I don't know if that also deletes the trail of website domain names.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: **how to keep Flash from storing a history trail?** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change of plans: I'm currently testing by simply prohibiting Flash to write to its own `sys` folder. So far, Flash has not tried to restore permissions (though, when deleting the `sys` folder, Flash will of course recreate it). I've not encountered any problems but this may take some while to validate, using multiple browsers and sites. I've not yet found a log that reports errors. On a Mac:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cd &quot;$HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; rm -r ./sys/*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; chmod u-w sys&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess the above *chmod* cannot be achieved on an old Windows system (I'm not sure about XP and Vista?). Though maybe on Windows one could replace the *folder* `sys` with a dummy *file* with the same name?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, keeping Flash from storing those Local Shared Objects for all sites may cause problems. For one, YouTube won't remember your volume settings while viewing multiple videos. Temporarily allowing write access to the `sys` folder while visiting those sites (to create *some* of the website domain name folders, and possibly references in `settings.sol`) solves that. This way Flash can still write to `sys/#s.ytimg.com` (for YouTube) but not create *new* folders in `sys`. One may also need to make `settings.sol` read-only afterwards, or delete it again. Any experience anyone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Final note: if the above links to the setting panels do not work in the future, then use [www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager][11] as a starting point.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.unitedvirtualities.com/UV-Pressrelease03-31-05.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help06.html&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flash_player_cache_02.html&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://serverfault.com/questions/9422/what-is-time-machine-doing/39310#39310&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6623&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://objection.mozdev.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager" />

However, depending on the shell and how the process was started, as well as any signal handling set up by the process itself, SIGHUP may be ignored by the process.  In that case the process will continue normal execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The assumption is that processes in a process group, running under a job control shell, will be manipulated by that shell as a group, and not by the user sending direct SIGSTOP and SIGCONT signals.  POSIX.1-2008 explains:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...if the termination of a process causes a process group to become orphaned, processes within the group are disconnected from their job control shell, which no longer has any information on the existence of the process group. Stopped processes within the group would languish forever. In order to avoid this problem, newly orphaned process groups that contain stopped processes are sent a SIGHUP signal and a SIGCONT signal to indicate that they have been disconnected from their session. The SIGHUP signal causes the process group members to terminate unless they are catching or ignoring SIGHUP. Under most circumstances, all of the members of the process group are stopped if any of them are stopped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A process could avoid this behavior by forking and creating its own session ([`setsid()`](http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/setsid.html)), so that it would no longer be part of the session of the shell where it was started.

You'll have to repeat instructions many times over and over again. After some time (months, years), they might get it, but even then they might ask you again just to assuage their fear that nothing wrong or disastrous is going to happen. Also if they are senior citizens, asking constantly could also mean that its just a case of forgetfulness. Even today, almost 8 years after starting to teach dad computers, he sometimes asks me how to copy a file or rename a folder or transfer files from his camcorder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes it could get frustrating... but remember that when you were a kid and your parents were trying to teach you a new concept, you did ask them such questions (sometimes repeatedly). Also remember that you will get old one day and at that point, the hot technology of the day could well be a mystery to you, and you could find yourself struggling.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**About &quot;simplest setups&quot;:** &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;I taught my dad computers on the same machine that I used for development, so I could not give him a &quot;simplest setup&quot; like others have recommended over here. I used my dev machine since we had only one computer at home, and my dad was the only earning member then. Even if I had been working, I don't think I would have provided my dad with a &quot;dumbed down&quot; setup like others have recommended since my dad fiddled with electronic stuff like radios early on in his life and he *could* feel bad if I dumbed down the setup. So know your &quot;target audience&quot; before going in for a new machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also great advice from @jtbandes!! Teach them the concepts behind what they do!!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**And now for some humour:**&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;One day my dad transferred photos from his camcorder to the computer. He then called out to me saying the photos were not appearing in the destination folder. I was involved with other work and hence asked him to refresh the folder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;How?&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Press F5.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Not working.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was a while before I found out he was pressing the 'F' key and then the 'I' key.

If you're serious you have to push through it, if you're not willing to then don't make the move.

You'll spend less time dealing with little yellow message boxes, bad defaults and config options and updates.  Not no time, just less time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4) BUT if you like being able to configure everything, Windows does generally offer more choices.  For me this is a bad thing (Apple just went with sensible settings and didn't give you any easy way of changing them, Windows gave you more options than any same human would ever want) but some people like it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5) If you want to play games, don't make the move, stay with the PC.  The Mac will give you things to while away a bit of time but it honestly can't compete.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6) The Mac has a great independent developer community - lots of great bits of software around the $20 mark.

One or the other (`su` or `sudo`) is probably not set up for full use by default. So for example, as some people have mentioned, OS X and Ubuntu disable the root account (`su`) by default. Equally, Debian does not give regular users any default privileges to `sudo`. (On all these systems, you can change these defaults, but only if you have some kind of administrative privileges to begin with. I suppose we're talking about a non-server situation and you administrate the machine since we're on SU rather than SF, but just in case.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, if you want to use `sudo` in a more fine-grained way, you should look at `man sudoers` for how to edit the _/etc/sudoers_ file. However, you should _never_ edit it by hand. Use the program _visudo_ - it will prevent you from saving your edits unless they are at least minimally sane. It's a great safeguard against simple errors which could lock you out of your own system's admin privileges." />

The operating system, as well as the programs you're running, all use RAM.  However, there's only so much of it, and it can only be accessed so fast.  If your computer is trying to use a lot of RAM (often more than is availablee), it slows down.  It needs to create files extra *swap files* on the hard drive to act as extra, but less efficient, &quot;RAM.&quot;  This, among other things, makes your computer slow down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing some programs should free up RAM space, but *memory leaks* may have occurred.  That means that the program may have accidentally taken up RAM that it didn't/couldn't free up when it closed.  &quot;Ahhh,&quot; you say, &quot;it's going to eat up all my RAM!&quot;  Nope.  If you restart the computer, all the RAM is cleared out.  You've got more avaliable RAM, so your computer can run faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are other problems that could be fixed by a restart, too.  For example, if a program somehow begins to use a huge amount of processor cycles (each cycle consists of a calculation, and all of these calculations make your computer &quot;computer,&quot; aka work).  When the computer is restarted, the control of the processor is *unconditionally* given to the bootloader, and then it's handed off to the OS, which can start from scratch.  It's no longer being dominated by the greedy program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet another possibility is that the computer was overheating.  Overheating, simply put, isn't good for the computer.  Turning a the machine off and leaving it to cool for a few minutes couldn't hurt.  In fact, some (if not all) computers are set to shut down if they reach a certain internal temperature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary, a restart puts the computer into a state where the right software is controlling the right (possibly cooler) hardware, in a state this is already known to work right." />

The words &quot;not found&quot; tell you where the problem is. Your shell (in my case it's Bash, clearly) looks for commands along its `$PATH` variable. The `PATH` is a set of colon-separated values. Each value is a directory where executable (binary) programs go, and the shell looks for commands in order from left to right along that chain of directories. Here's how to see what your PATH is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    telemachus ~ $ echo $PATH&#xD;&#xA;    /home/telemachus/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note that case matters, PATH is all upper. Also the `$` matters.) So my shell looks for commands in the `bin` directory in my home folder, then in `/usr/local/bin`, then in `/usr/bin` etc. The order matters, because sometimes you will have two versions of one program, and you want to make sure that you find a specific one first. (I have a different version of Ruby in my `$HOME/bin` directory than the system-wide one, and I want it found first.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To add a directory to your PATH, you can normally edit your shell's profile. Depending on what distribution of Linux you are using, that file will be called `.profile` or `.bash_profile`, and it will be in your home directory. Files that start with a `.` (often called dot-files) are hidden by default. They won't show up in a gui file-manager, and the `ls` command won't see them (without help). To see what's present in your home, open a shell (you will be in your home directory by default in a new shell), and type **ls -A**. The **-A** flag tells the **ls** command to show hidden files. You should see either `.profile` or `.bash_profile`, which you can then edit. Add a colon and the full path of the directory you want (a full path should start with a `/` to indicate its position from the root of your drive). You don't want a colon after the last value. So if you have a normal PATH, you can add `/sbin` this way:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    PATH=$PATH:/sbin&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, all of this said, you still can't get directly at `/sbin/shutdown` that way:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    telemachus ~ $ /sbin/shutdown -h now&#xD;&#xA;    shutdown: you must be root to do that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By giving the command's full path, I &quot;found&quot; the command, but I still couldn't run it. Some commands, like `shutdown`, require special privileges. To get permission to issue `shutdown` from a shell, you would need to use `su` or `sudo` depending on what kind of system you're on. I've already written a novel, so that's a story for another day.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Some frameworks won't integrate well with it, and it's not as up-to-date as the 32 bits version. Though I'd love if someone came and told me that is no longer the case -- I have learned not to try it a long time ago. :-(&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. 64 bits software is not as prevalent as might be desired yet. This is mostly a non-issue, as you can run 32 bits software just fine. But when it comes to software that integrates into the explorer menu, it matters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an example of the later point, I have TortoiseSVN running fine on my explorer, but TortoiseHG **wouldn't** show it's menu there. There **was** a work-around, which **was** running explorer with an option which will force 32 bits (`%windir%\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate`). I **needed** a shortcut for that, though, and the 64 bits stuff (TortoiseSVN! :) won't appear there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BUT, as of two weeks ago, according to Mr Spolsky, it is now working. I should have it running as fast as I can reboot (Windows, duh!) this computer. Which is all the more proof you should go 64 bits. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

In fact, so were your last few monitor: by modern standards, everything with more that 720 lines, like 1024x768 is HD. In the late 90s, before 'HD' became a buzzword, even 800x600 was more than a standard definition TV, and thus 'HD'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, system performance is a tradeoff between framerate, effects/quality, and display resolution. If you increase any of these three factors, the others will suffer. Game designers know this, and build their software around this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - They know that a game needs to run fairly consistently at at least 30fps.&#xD;&#xA; - They know what resolutions are popular for running games&#xD;&#xA; - They know what level of PC performance they are aiming at&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, they alter the level of effects and detail in the game so that people get reasonable performance on reasonable PCs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What does that mean for you? Well, your PC is far above what is targeted by most game manufacturers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You say the framerate doesn't matter to you&#xD;&#xA; - The level of detail is limited by the games themselves (more detailed models, textures and effects means more work for the developers.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the only way you are going to improve the 'wow' effect of your graphics are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Wait for a new game to come out with cool new graphics and effects&#xD;&#xA; 2. Buy a monitor with a much higher resolution. 1920x1200 or higher, and the biggest physical size you can afford. 27&quot; is a good price / size point.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Other posters are correct in that the hub operates at half-duplex which means that communications can only flow in one direction at a time. If you are transferring big files back and forth between the two computers this may cause the files to take longer to transmit as you will generally encounter packet collisions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An Ethernet switch is a device that actually checks the destination physical address of an incoming packet and is able to send it back out on the port that the destination device is connected two. Switches operate in full-duplex mode which means that connected devices can transmit and receive at the same time. This is generally considered a must if you are transmitting large files back and forth between the two systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which is better for you depends upon you situation. As others have suggested you might be able to directly connect both systems via a crossover cable or a smart network card may be able to crossover the signal for you. If you are just going to be using the two systems for operations that are fairly light (i.e. playing games) or transferring files from one system to another, the the hub should be sufficient. Your transfer speeds may not be as fast as over a switch, but if most the transfers are going from computer A to computer B only, then your biggest limitation is likely to be the speed of the hub itself. A more recent hub should be running at 10/100 which means the upper bound would most likely be around 100 Mbps (note the Mb here means megabits). However, if you are going to be transferring large files (i.e. &gt; ~10 MB) between the systems at the same time, a switch is going going to be a better choice." />

The Linux kernel has had a lot of work go into driver management, and new drivers are being worked on and added every day, but there are still so many pieces of hardware out there that it wouldn't be too surprising for you to get at least one piece that isn't out of the box Linux ready.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;i.e. on my Toshiba Satellite I have an Intel Graphics card that does work out of the box, but has some issues with showing video and doing the new UI stuff that comes with apps like Compiz, but there are a few hacks I've learned to apply to get around those.

Get an anti-static strap and work grounded and you should have no real reason to break anything.  There is little if any money to be saved by doing this, however.  The benefits come from being able to hand-pick components that might be more up-market than a mass market vendor would use by choice. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last system I properly built from scratch as my main PC was quite expensive - it had SCSI disks and a fairly upmarket motherboard.  More recently (when I moved to the UK in 2004) I recycled some components into a pair of small-footprint machines with micro-ATX motherboards.  I put some effort into these to keep the interior tidy - cable ties and sticky-backed plastic hooks, quiet molex fans and some other niceties.  They did me quite nicely for about 18 months after I got here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since then I have just bought secondhand PCs - mainly two socket Xeon or Opteron workstations used for data warehouse development (new ones are expensive but secondhand ones are much cheaper).  While I didn't assemble these from scratch I did do memory and CPU upgrades (single-dual core CPUs and suchlike) and fitted third party RAID controllers and arrays of SCSI disks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given how cheap a secondhand PC is (you can get ex-lease machines for less than £100 off ebay) there's no real point in building a system unless you have some specific requirements.

I'm a big Windows fan, not through ignorance, but out of choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) Performance&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite what naysayers may imply, I'm always had excellent performance using Windows.  Sure it's not DOS or pure command line &quot;raw performance&quot;, but it's always quick and responsive.  People often report that Windows &quot;slows down over time&quot; due to cruft collecting in the OS, but in all honesty I've seen this happen across all the major platforms and as such can't use it as a differentiating feature.  In fact, I think across Win/Mac/nix the most cruft ridden machine I've seen was a Mac, mostly due to the owners believe that as it was a mac it didn't need any kind of maintainence.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I doubt anyone here will slate the performance of XP.  Vista had some early roadblocks but most of vista performance issues were either fixed, FUD, or hardware vendors woefully underspeccing machines (any modern OS in ~512mb of RAM...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) Stability&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My Windows machines have months of uptime each.  I play games, do lots of development work and browse like anyone else.  Maybe I expect too much from users, but generally I don't have any significant issues.  Sure firefox crashes from time to time, but that's firefox, not the operating system.  I've not seen system halt since Windows ME for anything less than a serious hardware issue - the same thing would cripple ANY OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) Hardware Compatability&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I enjoy building computers, I know the time / price / performance is fairly negligible in the long run but I enjoy the customisation.  I like being able to troubleshoot my own hardware issues if they arise and upgrade my hardware at will.  Windows makes these things easy to do because as far as hardware vendors go, Windows is the leading platform.  I never struggle to find drivers, even when using the fairly esoteric combination of 64bit Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4) Legacy support&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is useful. End of story.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5) Software is often designed &quot;Windows first&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Due to its popularity, most software is designed for windows with a careful eye on the other platforms.  Even previously other-platform centric software such as Photoshop is designed Windows first these days.  On top of that, the majority of open source software works fine on Windows machines.  I tend to mostly use open or free software, I just prefer doing so on Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6) The UI experience beats the other platforms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like the windows desktop / explorer paradigm.  It's served me well and I understand it.  I loathe what I see as the over-context-sensitivity of the OSX ui and hate the way the mac handles menus.  I dislike the confused dock and it's basically broken (google the subject for discussion) and honestly believe the Win7 toolbar is what the dock should be.  Prior to 7 I got along just fine with Windows' task bar.  Linux on the desktop from a UI perspective is a joke.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7) The developer tools and support are second to none.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Want free tools? VS express editions.  Want enterprise? full blown VS is the best IDE on the market bar none.  Sure there are some good alternatives, but at the end of the day VS is the 10000lb gorilla in the room.  Couple it with good support and plugins like resharper and there really is no other worthwhile choice.  The work coming out of Microsofts developer division is world class with the recent advancements in the C# language and other .NET languages effectively putting the rapidly stagnating java language to shame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8) Games&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;End of discussion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that covers most of the bases?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, windows does what I want quickly, with stability, backwards compatability and the freedom to customise and choose how I want my operating system to behave without the monotony of configuring Linux to effectively replicate what Windows does anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Virtualisation gives the other operating systems the ability to pave over their problems and &quot;fall back&quot; to windows, likewise, if I need unix I can virtualise.  This isn't a benifit of any specific platform, just a benifit of virtualisation as a whole.  If you're using Linux in a VM to do something you're using Linux.  Same goes for windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Oh and it's pretty familiar ;)" />

It's possible some manufactures will make their drivers backwards compatible. We have a touch screen here (that actually wasn't sold as multi touch) but it supports a kind of limited multi touch (only 2 touches allowed at any one time). Because there isn't any native windows support for this kind of thing in windows XP though you have to access the multi touch functionality by coding directly against a com library they provide, so any code written for it is specific to that manufactures screens that they support that particular library on. With windows 7, MS have provided a wrapper layer so you can write the code once to handle the multi touch functionality and provided the drivers are in place it won't matter what screen is being used. If your screen doesn't say it's multi touch compatible, it's not. The hardware is different to normal single touch screens]" />

Budgeting is actually a stress-relieving hobby for me, and I can be a bit of a control-freak when it comes to finances, so I decided to start early looking for a replacement rather than waiting until MS Money can no longer download transactions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the pros and cons of the ones I've tried in the past two weeks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**You Need A Budget Pro (YNAB)** - Based on the old envelopes system, YNAB has you allot money from each paycheck to a specific budget category (envelope). It encourages you to live on last money's income, and if you have trouble with overspending, that can be a great plan. Personally, I'm a big believer in the envelope concept, so that's the biggest **pro** I found. Also, it's a downloaded software, so once I've bought it (for about $50) it's mine, without forced upgrades as far as I've seen. The big **con** for me was that it does not automatically download transactions. I would have to sign on to each institution's website and manually download to the program. Also, coming from Money, I'm used to having features that YNAB doesn't offer, like the ability to store information about my accounts. **Overall**, it's forward-thinking and a good budgeting system, but will take some extra time to download transactions and isn't really a comprehensive management tool for all my financial needs. You can try it out with their free trial.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Mint** - This is a free online program. The free part was a major **pro**. It also looks pretty, if that's important to you. Updating is automatic, once you've got it all set up, so that's a **pro**. Biggest **con** was very weak budgeting tools. Basically, you choose a category and tell it your limit. I imagine it yells at you when you cross the line, but doesn't seem to offer any other incentive to stay on budget. The other **con** for me was that it doesn't connect with our local credit union where we have our checking account. It seems there's now way to manually add an account at an institution that Mint doesn't connect with. A final **con** is that I don't think you can add transactions manually. So, if I just wrote a check, it won't show up in my transactions until it's been cashed, which, if I've forgotten about it when writing other checks, would be too late. **Overall**, if your accounts are all at institutions that are popular enough that Mint connects with them, and you're looking for a way to record all of your transactions without any need for a real budget, Mint is a great (free!) option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Mvelopes** - Here's another online option, but this one is subscription-based. Again, we find the old envelopes system, which I think is smart, so that's a **pro** for me. It's online, so it downloads transactions automatically, but also allows you to manually add transactions, so another **pro**. The big **con** on this one is the cost. Depending on how you far ahead you choose to pay (quarterly, yearly or biannually), you're paying $7.60 to $12 per month. They do offer a free trial for 14 days (plus another 14 days offered when you try to cancel). Another **con** is that they don't provide meaningful reports. **Overall**, a good concept, but not worth the cost for me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Quicken Online** - All I'll say about Quicken Online was that it's similar to Mint, but not quite as good, and since both are free, I would prefer Mint.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Quicken** - I hadn't tried Quicken earlier because they don't offer a free trial, but after the last four fell short, this is where I landed. **Pro** for Quicken, as an MS Money user is that it is remarkably similar in format and options. The registers and reports are nearly identical. One frustration I'd had with Money was that it was ridiculously slow at start-up. Quicken has done very well with that so far, big **pro.** **Con** for Quicken, again as an MS Money user, is that it's budgeting is not as detailed as I would like. In the past week, it's grown on me a bit, and I'm trying to embrace a more simplified budget now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I miss the most from MS Money is the cash flow forecast. I lived by that! Quicken has something that it calls a cashflow forecast, but it is far from accurate, and simply doesn't take into consideration one-time expenses like Money did. I have yet to find in any program other than Money a cash-flow forecast. If anyone stumbles across one similar to MS Money, I'd love to hear about it!" />

For the more general public, I imagine it's more likely because there is just no compelling reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it stands right now, Silverlight is a god-send for those who want to develop Rich Internet Applications (RIA) without buying expensive tools or learning a new language. Silverlight uses known .NET concepts to the extent that source code can quite often be shared between desktop applications and Silverlight applications. It is this aspect of Silverlight that is compelling and it will only be through developers taking advantage of this by creating must-have applications that consumers will be convinced to download and use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, developers must have an audience and that's where the cross-platform shortcomings have a big impact. However, I believe those shortcomings will be more effectively addressed soon, making Silverlight more viable, and as Microsoft partners with sites like Netflix, Silverlight should become more widely used. I believe it is currently installed on around 30% of systems, which is not close to Flash at 95% but it's certainly nothing to be sniffed at.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With all that said, as some have pointed out, the days of browser plug-ins like Flash and Silverlight may well be numbered except in some domain-specific areas as we move to a more open set of standards for defining rich content. Hopefully, the likes of Flash and Silverlight will eventually become programming models for such open standards, allowing us to use the tools that are familiar to produce the content we want without worrying about which user has which system, browser, and plug-in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For consumers, the reason to download Silverlight is to access the Silverlight application that you otherwise couldn't.

I haven't had luck finding anything really good.  For one reason or another, I find quirks or inconsistencies that break my efforts to balance my budget.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Money 2004/2005**: Pretty UI, easy to get started, online banking easy.  However, it plays mastermind in matching up downloaded transactions with existing uncleared entries.  So if you happened to have taken $100 out of the ATM the same day you paid a bill that was exactly $100, it'll match them up and you have no choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Quicken 2006**: The crappy transaction mapping had me try Quicken.  It's little better with the matching in that you have options, but it still plays the guessing game on you.  Once you accept an incorrect match, you can't undo it completely.  You can fix it manually, but redownloading transactions doesn't always work.  The UI is kinda quirky, but it doesn't really stop you from doing what you need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite this shortcoming, it fit me well for years until last April, when they terminated online banking functionality, forcing me to buy new to keep using it.  NO THANKS, jerk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Mint**: It won't hook into my primary ING Direct accounts, so I can only see what's going on in a secondary account I don't use heavily.  Also, I can't find a way to make register entries.  I don't see the value in this site, unless I'm just doing it wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**GnuCash**: I'm a fan of open source, and I've evaluated GnuCash before but it didn't work with my credit union for online banking.  But, I use a different bank now (ING Direct), so I migrated over.  They don't do true online banking; you have to download the OFX file and manually import it.  So, I didn't have to deal with the kludgy online OFX/QFX components.  Basically, your install experience could vary between quick and simple to configuration hell.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I really like the organization of the double-entry accounting.  It takes the complexity away from having to maintain separate categories and accounts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Transaction mapping is a little bit better than Quicken, but there is still guesswork and sometimes makes it difficult to make corrections when it maps the wrong things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, I'm still not really happy, so thankfully someone asked this question.  I have some new things to try out." />

Face recognition**&#xD;&#xA;    What I would really like is that this software has a feature that &#xD;&#xA;    it can recognize faces in images and places tags with the name of &#xD;&#xA;    the person. So far I've only heard of one online photo system that&#xD;&#xA;    can do that (Picasa) and not yet of any offline tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **3. Version database**&#xD;&#xA;    I must have some way of having a central GIT/SVN/... that contains &#xD;&#xA;    all images. I have had a harddrive corruption a few years ago and &#xD;&#xA;    it took me a long time to figure out which images had been damaged.&#xD;&#xA;    I always want to be able to go back to what the camera produced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **4. Website**&#xD;&#xA;    I want to be able to generate a website (few 'tag' specific websites) &#xD;&#xA;    based on the actual content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **5. Easy bulk uploading**&#xD;&#xA;    Many photo tools have a one on one uploading option. I prefer simply&#xD;&#xA;    'throwing' my images on a file server under Linux (Samba) and let &#xD;&#xA;    the system automagically integrate, tag, recognize, etc. all images.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, I know these are a bit much.

Text="Hi,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I would like is a single piece of software (or a smart combination of tools) that allow me to manage my photos in a better way than what I've found so far.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **1. Tags**&#xD;&#xA;    Primarily I need a way of tagging the images. So I can manually tag&#xD;&#xA;    photos the same way we tag questions here at SO/SF/SU. I want this&#xD;&#xA;    software to place a lot of the tags automagically (obvious things &#xD;&#xA;    like date and resolution). &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; **2. Face recognition**&#xD;&#xA;    What I would really like is that this software has a feature that &#xD;&#xA;    it can recognize faces in images and places tags with the name of &#xD;&#xA;    the person. So far I've only heard of one online photo system that&#xD;&#xA;    can do that (Picasa) and not yet of any offline tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **3. Version database**&#xD;&#xA;    I must have some way of having a central GIT/SVN/... that contains &#xD;&#xA;    all images. I have had a harddrive corruption a few years ago and &#xD;&#xA;    it took me a long time to figure out which images had been damaged.&#xD;&#xA;    I always want to be able to go back to what the camera produced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **4. Website**&#xD;&#xA;    I want to be able to generate a website (few 'tag' specific websites) &#xD;&#xA;    based on the actual content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **5. Easy bulk uploading**&#xD;&#xA;    Many photo tools have a one on one uploading option. I prefer simply&#xD;&#xA;    'throwing' my images on a file server under Linux (Samba) and let &#xD;&#xA;    the system automagically integrate, tag, recognize, etc. all images.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, I know these are a bit much. Perhaps you guy's have some suggestions about existing tools that can make this possible. Or even a complete system that does this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: To clarify on the OS. I prefer Linux for any 'server' task and Windows XP for any 'desktop' task.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for all your input.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Niels Basjes" />

It's too simple when it needs to be complex, and too complex when it needs to be simple.  Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The column view insists on generating (mostly worthless) preview images for movies, which means lots of beachballs when navigating around a folder with movies.  Even worse if it's a network drive.&#xD;&#xA; * It leaves little .DS_Store files everywhere, which really irritates other users on network drives.  (This can be prevented -- see [this osxdaily hint][1] for details, thanks jasonh)&#xD;&#xA; * It can be hard to navigate around a file hierarchy using just the keyboard, as sometimes Finder doesn't let you go back up a directory after making a folder.&#xD;&#xA; * Although they share the same interface and appearance, the file open/save dialog and the finder have different shortcuts.  For example, command+d in file open/save goes to your desktop, but command+d in finder duplicates an item.&#xD;&#xA; * Per-folder view options -- this is *very* confusing for new users.&#xD;&#xA; * When making zipfiles, it makes a bizarre structure which is hidden to other Mac users but visible to everybody else in the computing world.&#xD;&#xA; * No support for RAR?  Geez.&#xD;&#xA; * Quicklook plugins are few and far between, and difficult to install.

If I reinstall, or if I need to install a new machine, I usually want to reinstall those *specific* packages, and I want to do it fast to get back to work with a minimum of hassle.  As far as I've seen all of the package managers (`apt-get`, `aptitude` and `synaptic` on Ubuntu, `yum` and `pirut` on Fedora) can tell me which packages are installed, and they all have logs (albeit different ones for each tool, which is a hassle).  But none of them can tell me which packages *I've* installed, as opposed to their dependencies or system updates.  Even the logs are tricky in that I'm not entirely sure what I should be extracting from them, or how to integrate them (in the case of the various apt family tools).  This means that each time I re-install, or even just backup, I'm not sure how to re-create that list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not necessarily expecting any of the tools to do this for me, but if they don't I'm looking for workarounds.

In Asus' case, it is called &quot;Qualified Vendor's List&quot; and is in the P5B-MX user's manual. If you pick memory from this list, then it has been tested and passed the motherboard vendor's qualification. Unfortunately, this list can be dated. So here is my criteria to use for selecting memory:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For P5B-MX, you definitely want DDR2-667 memory.&#xD;&#xA; - Also, avoid CAS Latency = 3, which apparently downgrades to 533 due to chipset limitation (at least at the time the User's Guide was written). NOTE: Generally the lower the numbers in the timings, the better.&#xD;&#xA; - Select memory because...&#xD;&#xA;  1. It is the specific module listed on the AVL.&#xD;&#xA;  2. It is close to the specific model listed on the AVL (minor revision change).&#xD;&#xA;  3. It is from a manufacturer/has same components as model on the AVL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other good options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Recommended memory form someone who used the specific module on their P5B-MX motherboard.&#xD;&#xA; - Memory on the AVL of another motherboard with the exact same memory controller and configuration.&#xD;&#xA; - Quality memory that fits the specifications from a tier-1 memory vendor (usually not the cheapest).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, there is always risk that the memory will be bad. I suggest once you get your memory, even if you use the AVL mentioned above, your run it through a good memory test. The bets memory test tool I know of is RST-PRO, but it costs money. You can find some adequate memory testing programs online, like Memtest86, for free." />

It is a Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive and an NVidia Quadro 120M video card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer was purchased in late November of 2006 with XP Pro, and included a free upgrade to Vista Business.  (Vista was available on MSDN but not yet via retail, so the Vista Business upgrades weren't shipped until March of '07.)  Since we had an MSDN subscription at the time, I installed Vista Ultimate on it pretty much as soon as I got it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It ran happily until sometime in the spring of 2007 when Media Center (which I had never used except to watch DVDs) started throwing some kind of bizarre SQL (CE?) error.  This error would pop up at random times just while using the computer.  Furthermore, Media Center would no longer start.  I never identified the cause of this error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I had the Vista Business upgrade by this time, so I nuked the machine, installed XP and all the drivers, and then the Vista Business upgrade.  Again, it ran happily for a few months and then started behaving badly once again.  Vista Business doesn't have Media Center, so this exhibited completely unrelated symptoms.  For no apparent reason and at fairly random times, the machine would suddenly appear to freeze up or run very slowly.  For example, launching a new application window (any app) might take 30-45 seconds to paint fully.  However, Task Manager showed very low CPU load, memory, etc.  I tried all the normal stuff (chkdsk, defrag, etc.) and ran several diagnostic programs to try to identify any problems, but none found anything.  It eventually reached the point that the computer was all but unusable, so I nuked it again and installed XP.  This time I decided to stick with XP instead of going to Vista.  However, within the past couple of months it has started to exhibit the same symptoms in XP that I used to see in Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer is still under Dell warranty until December, but so far they aren't any help unless I can identify a specific problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A friend (partner in a now-dead business) has an identical machine that was purchased at the same time.  His machine exhibits none of these symptoms, which leads me to believe it is a hardware issue, but I can't figure out how to identify it.  Any ideas?  Utilities?  Seen something similar?  At this point I can't even identify any pattern to the behavior, but would be willing to run a &quot;stress test&quot;-style app for as long as a couple days if I had any hope that it would find something." />

Even though they are not &quot;using CPU time&quot;, they still occupy a chunk of vital resources - RAM.  Disabling the service typically results in the program being unloaded from memory, and that little bit of memory being freed up.  Go to your control panel and open up the Services icon in there - see all those entries?  Each one that says &quot;Enabled&quot; means something somewhere is gobbling up some precious RAM to accomplish what you're after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may sound like a futile exercise, but I have used it successfully to play games that &quot;required 1Gb of RAM&quot;, on a 512Mb system.  The real requirement wasn't 1Gb, it was the fact that you needed that to *comfortably* run the game.  Turning off system services freed up a whopping 120Mb of RAM.  The game loaded and ran just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll want to leave those services that you absolutely need - DHCP Client, DNS Client, etc., as they will be required to keep your internet connection stable.  But things like file and print sharing, well, what are you going to do while you're blowing crap up in the game?  Print a spreadsheet?  Turn off Workstation and Server services to start, and go from there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Look at flashing to the latest BIOS.&#xD;&#xA;-----------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Video drivers *do* have an impact, and updating the Video BIOS will help, but your *Motherboard* BIOS has just as big an impact.  Many users don't even bother to upgrade to the latest versions, which sometimes include enhancements to how your I/O works, options that you can enable that weren't there before, and bugfixes for those options that didn't work well.  Consider the pros and cons of this - while it will allow you to run a newer BIOS, there is always a little tiny risk of a bad flash.  If BIOS updates are available, read the update READMEs and decide if there is anything in there that would improve your system performance.'&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compromise on graphics performance&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know you said you don't want to turn down your graphics options, but have you considered *optimizing* them?  Sometimes, leaving all of your current graphics options enabled but switching from 32bpp to just 16bpp is all it takes to increase your performance.  You get to keep your current screen resolution and have all of the eye candy you want, just with 65535 colors instead of 16 million+.  Sometimes it's not the big tweaks that gets you the gain, it's the little ones." />

No matter how good the detection engine is, no matter how often you update, there is always a window of &quot;vulnerability&quot; between when when a &quot;problem&quot; is released onto the internet in general, and when it is detected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Proxy filtering software is a reasonable approach.  Everyone that has suggested these answers has done the right thing - use a form of content filtering that makes sense for you.  (Yes, I gave everyone a +1 that mentioned this).  But the same issue remains - there are new sites coming online every day, and old ones that go offline.  During this time, you need to be able to known about these and block them.  So there is always a window of opportunity to stumble into &quot;inappropriate material&quot; or &quot;web exploits&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Being there with your younger child as they surf around is a great idea.  It is difficult to substitute adult experience with a piece of software, and being able to spot a problem and steer the child away before it becomes an issue is something that no proxy can deduce.  And if by unfortunate luck you end up clicking a &quot;disguised link&quot; or end up under a cross-scripting attack that spawns 100 bazillion popups/installs/downloads, you'll be able to respond in seconds...instead of minutes after the fact, when your child comes to you and says &quot;I keep seeing funny pictures of people without clothes, and now [I have a funny purple gorilla that keep bugging me to see things][1].  Make it stop (mom/dad)!&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As kids get older, you can keep the proxy in place and reduce the filtering, but the occasional pop-in and &quot;hey, whatcha up to?&quot; is worth its weight in gold.  It's not so much snooping into their personal lives - a sensitive issue for many teens and one they would resent greatly - as it is a quick &quot;check for trouble&quot;.  For older teens, I might even forgo the filtering, provided they agree to have the URLs logged via the proxy (possibly through a squid setup that has minimal controls but logs each visit).  This is a good tradeoff between keeping tabs on where they go, but still giving them enough privacy in their communications (because it only logs the URL visited, not what they send or post online).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, I suppose that most people will just install a basic filter and get on with life, but for me, and my kids, being there as they explore and learn is something I would never miss.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BonziBUDDY" />

The idea is to generate a consensus &quot;rule of thumb&quot; for the average lifespan of an off-the-shelf PC, so when you talk to mom/dad/sis/cousin about getting a new unit, and they ask &quot;how long do you think this purchase will last me?&quot;, you can say with an air of authority &quot;expect to get X years out of it before needing an upgrade&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So in this case, the PC in question will not be 100% gaming, although it should be able to run the last generation of games released (you know, those games that have moved from the &quot;Initial Release&quot; $49.99 down to $14.99 &quot;Value games&quot;?).  It should accommodate current video codecs without straining the CPU or graphics card (for DVD and web-based video).  It should handle Skype without hiccuping.  And it should be able to run a copy of Vista in full Aero Glass mode, not the reduced mode.  Drive space should accommodate thousands of photos and let's say about 40-80 hours of processed (compressed) video.  64-bit capability is a must, although a 32-bit initial OS load is fine.  This is essentially a unit that you would give to a family member that is just &quot;starting out&quot; or they're upgrading from a really really old machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this isn't enough to &quot;firm up&quot; what this PC should look like, just leave a comment and I'll try to refine it a bit more.  But I think I've managed to cover what home users might use it for, and that should give you a good idea about the initial hardware involved.  From there, I hope to get a &quot;life expectancy&quot;.  Anyone care to take a shot at this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*For the record, my first whitebox I built lasted a whopping 6 years (a Super 7 that moved all the way to a K6-2/500 and maxed out RAM).  After that I've noticed that the equipment tends to not &quot;last as long&quot;, or it has a smaller window of upgrade ability as parts cycle into and out of the retail market, leaving me to hunt for used parts.  Part of what spurred this question was this observation that upgrade windows were becoming smaller and smaller, making it harder and harder to keep reusing existing components - leading to a shorter &quot;lifespan&quot;.*&#xD;&#xA;" />

I started off with HTML because it's fairly easy to understand for beginners - show them some simple stuff like adding images to the page, showing bits of text; this works quite well because they can get visible results immediately, and in a fairly short amount of time, so they're likely to be more engaged and not get bored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing I used was LOGO; although slightly outdated now, you may want to consider showing them some stuff with it, because again, comparatively, it's quite a straightforward language to pick up, and you can, again, create visible results in fairly short spaces of time, and do more complex stuff like drawing shapes, doing simple animations, which is quite easy to do and more interesting than simply using static content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; How deep can you go? Variables, control flow, iteration, recursion, message passing, ...?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just don't rush them - if they don't enjoy what they're doing with programming, it might be a bit of a turnoff.. Just take things one step at a time, and make sure that they're enjoying themselves. All the time since I've been programming, I've been doing it because I've *enjoyed* it - that makes it a fun thing to do, and if you ask any programmer, they're almost certain to do it because they enjoy it. Only in the last few years have I begun to look at more complex topics like the ones you describe, because some of the subject matters can be quite hard to grasp, and require more focus to understand. They also don't have clear results - with message passing, for example, it's a very important and useful topic to learn, but it's hard to see *how* it fits into things, and is not as obvious as say, drawing stuff on the screen or showing some images or text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you start looking at other languages, such as Javascript, then perhaps you can start to show them some simple language features, such as variables, or conditionals, which are more advanced than simply putting images on a webpage, and are also useful and integral to lots of languages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But just make sure that they're having fun with what they do, and don't rush them." />

If I recall there is now a compatibility wizard that will step you through the process. I can't recall if Starcraft spawned used different excutables for different parts of the game." />

Leopard requires this, but its not enabled on Debian/Ubuntu by default.&#xD;&#xA;* Set up the volumes you want to share on the server and start the netatalk service.&#xD;&#xA;* Disable the strict checking for Time Machine volumes on OS X. I don't recall the specific command, but this is easy to find.&#xD;&#xA;* Create a sparsebundle file with the HD Util, and copy to the server.&#xD;&#xA;* Tell Time Machine to connect to the server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://blog.damontimm.com/how-to-install-netatalk-afp-on-ubuntu-with-encrypted-authentication/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://holyarmy.org/benjamin/2008/01/time-machine-backup-to-linux-via-netatalk/" />

Development of dog has been long in the making, spanning centuries and involving hundreds of people.  Several refinements exist today and can be easily purchased in most countries.  There has been much research into the effectiveness of &quot;Dog&quot;, and I will provide a condensed summary of that research for you to evaluate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![A device known as &quot;dog&quot;][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Each unit is manufactured with a limited intelligence that actively seeks out potential threats&#xD;&#xA; - Acts as an early-warning system through the use of ultra-sensitive acoustic detection sensors, known as &quot;Ears&quot;&#xD;&#xA; - Has a set of optical recognition scanners known as &quot;Eyes&quot;.  Eyes can function in some low-light conditions, allowing for night time operation.&#xD;&#xA; - Has a built-in alarm system, known as &quot;Bark&quot;, which can be clearly heard&#xD;&#xA; - Can function as a full deterent through I/O devices known as &quot;Teeth&quot;.  Teeth are an extremely effective deterent, even at a distance.&#xD;&#xA; - Device &quot;Dog&quot; typically comes equipped with four high-range-of-motion ball-and-socket mobility devices called &quot;legs&quot;, which allow for a wide range of movement at very fast speeds&#xD;&#xA; - Proactively pursues threats through &quot;legs&quot; for as long as possible, often with positive results&#xD;&#xA; - Very low false-positive rate allows you to deploy unit &quot;Dog&quot; under a variety of circumstances, while maintaining peace-of-mind&#xD;&#xA; - Can double as a form of entertainment with the right equipment.  Popular accessories are &quot;frisbee&quot;, &quot;ball&quot;, &quot;stick&quot;, and for the discerning geek owner, &quot;low-power red dot laser pointer&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Primitive but effective built-in speech recognition software is sophisticated enough to deliver commands that require &quot;dog&quot; to utilize the built-in intelligence while engaging the &quot;leg&quot; mobility devices and &quot;eye&quot; optical scanners.  Common commands are &quot;fetch&quot;, &quot;sit&quot;, &quot;lie down&quot;, &quot;stay&quot;.  Can add additional commands such as &quot;heel&quot;, &quot;quiet&quot;, and the one you're looking for, which is &quot;defend&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Unit &quot;Dog&quot; is of such advanced technology that it can actually be made to replicate itself!  Note that this process requires more than one unit, along with additional expenses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Requires constant energy inputs in the form of proteins.  Inputs must be given on a regular schedule or unit &quot;Dog&quot; will permanently expire, regardless of your license terms.&#xD;&#xA; - Requires constant maintenance &quot;intervals&quot;, resulting in &quot;core dumps&quot; and &quot;output streams&quot; that are unwanted&#xD;&#xA; - Ignoring regular maintenance &quot;intervals&quot; will result in &quot;core dump&quot; and &quot;output stream&quot; regardless if &quot;Dog&quot; is deployed inside or outside.  It is imperative you follow recommended guidelines for regular maintenance, otherwise satisfaction in &quot;Dog&quot; will decline.&#xD;&#xA; - Alarm system &quot;bark&quot; can sometimes malfunction for extended periods of time, leading to complaints&#xD;&#xA; - During initial software training, &quot;Teeth&quot; I/O device will sometimes malfunction, resulting in a loss of whatever object is mis-identified as either a threat or entertainment accessory.  Sofas and pillows have been common identification issues.&#xD;&#xA; - Is subjected to social engineering attacks on occasion, the most successful one known as &quot;rare steak&quot;.  Unit &quot;dog&quot; sometimes responds to this, and sometimes not, depending on the amount of time spent training the built-in Intelligence unit.&#xD;&#xA; - Replicated units can sometimes be more than you bargained for, requiring that you spend time finding new homes for them&#xD;&#xA; - Can be destroyed, usually through the application of weapons&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.my-doberman.com/images/doberman-origin.jpg" />

I just move to an unoccupied channel and continue on with what I was doing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a chance this will work for you too.  VPN can be pretty finicky about losing packets when it crosses a specific threshold where the software is no longer capable of correcting the transmission errors and deal with packets that may have timed out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope that helps!&#xD;&#xA;" />

XP runs people's software fine and most view the security issues as something they'll put up with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Windows XP will run just fine on a P3 with quite a small memory footprint - I've used it just fine on a machine with 256MB of RAM.  This means that most machines built in the last decade or so will run it with a memory upgrade at most.  Most Linux distributions will also run quite happily on a machine of that spec.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many graphics applications (CAD, media and DTP and even video editing and animation) started out life on machines of vastly lower specification than a modern PC.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The entire  farm of SGI boxes used to render the gloopy terminator in *T2* had less computing power than a modern gaming card.  That was 1989 - ***20 years ago.***  By the time ILM was doing *The Phantom Menace* the last of those machines was [being retired][1] from its role as an email server because it could not keep up with the volume of email at ILM.  &#xD;&#xA; - The CGI effects in *The Matrix* were rendered on 64 dual P3 boxes.&#xD;&#xA; - The CGI on *Babylon 5* was done and redered on Amigas.  &#xD;&#xA; - *The Last Starfighter* was rendered on a Cray XMP - a machine with less than 1/1000 of the computing power of a modern GPU (SP vs. DP notwithstanding).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All we're left with is bloat.  I have some high spec (for 2007 when I bought them) XW9300 boxes for doing data warehouse development but my main Linux desktop is an ex-lease DC7100 that I bought for £69 off ebay.  This has a Quadro NVS285 card, a WD740GD (Raptor) drive scrounged from the XW9300s and 1GB of RAM.  If I fitted a DX10 video card it would probably run Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I'd say that apart from Microsoft's attempts to manipulate the PC market, the 3 year obsolesence of PCs is an artifact of the past.  You could make an environmentalist argument about a modern machine using less power but quite a lot of energy goes into making a new PC and disposal of used electronic equipment is often [not the most environmentally friendly][2] of processes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As to a modern PC - I tend to suggest people wanting one on the cheap consider ex-lease machines.  However, they really must be viewed as disposable items - if they blow up you throw them away (this would probably happen to them anyway).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a new machine, I suggest that people wanting a quality system consider a single socket workstation like an [HP XW4600.][3]  The spec of these machines is about the same as a PC but they are built for a SLA.  They tend to use better quality parts - such as avoiding crappy grades of electrolytic capacitors.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only other way to get a machine of that quality is to micromanage the individual components of the box - Motherboard A, PSU B etc.  These components will be just as expensive as the workstation as they tend to carry a premium price.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.05/lucas_pr.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/ghana804/video/video_index.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/12454-12454-296719-307907-296721-3429268.html" />

When using an ADSL router you need to configure the Dynamic IP settings on the router to point to your new DynDNS URL using the username and password you supplied. This will ensure that every time the line resets the new IP is given to DynDNS. This process normally takes about 20 minutes. If your using an ADSL Modem you will need to download seperate software to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When using an ADSL router you also need to setup Port Forwarding. This will allow the router to send data for a particular port, either VNC or RDP to your machine.

It is a Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive and an NVidia Quadro 120M video card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer was purchased in late November of 2006 with XP Pro, and included a free upgrade to Vista Business.  (Vista was available on MSDN but not yet via retail, so the Vista Business upgrades weren't shipped until March of '07.)  Since we had an MSDN subscription at the time, I installed Vista Ultimate on it pretty much as soon as I got it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It ran happily until sometime in the spring of 2007 when Media Center (which I had never used except to watch DVDs) started throwing some kind of bizarre SQL (CE?) error.  This error would pop up at random times just while using the computer.  Furthermore, Media Center would no longer start.  I never identified the cause of this error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I had the Vista Business upgrade by this time, so I nuked the machine, installed XP and all the drivers, and then the Vista Business upgrade.  Again, it ran happily for a few months and then started behaving badly once again.  Vista Business doesn't have Media Center, so this exhibited completely unrelated symptoms.  For no apparent reason and at fairly random times, the machine would suddenly appear to freeze up or run very slowly.  For example, launching a new application window (any app) might take 30-45 seconds to paint fully.  However, Task Manager showed very low CPU load, memory, etc.  I tried all the normal stuff (chkdsk, defrag, etc.) and ran several diagnostic programs to try to identify any problems, but none found anything.  It eventually reached the point that the computer was all but unusable, so I nuked it again and installed XP.  This time I decided to stick with XP instead of going to Vista.  However, within the past couple of months it has started to exhibit the same symptoms in XP that I used to see in Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer is still under Dell warranty until December, but so far they aren't any help unless I can identify a specific problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A friend (partner in a now-dead business) has an identical machine that was purchased at the same time.  His machine exhibits none of these symptoms, which leads me to believe it is a hardware issue, but I can't figure out how to identify it.  Any ideas?  Utilities?  Seen something similar?  At this point I can't even identify any pattern to the behavior, but would be willing to run a &quot;stress test&quot;-style app for as long as a couple days if I had any hope that it would find something.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***EDIT***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm testing [jerryjvl's answer][1] regarding the video card, though I'm not sure it fully explains the symptoms yet.  This morning I ran a video stress test.  The test itself ran fine, but immediately afterward the PC started acting up again.  I left ProcExp open and various system processes were consuming 50-60% of the CPU but with no apparent reason.  For example, &quot;services.exe&quot; was eating about 40%, but the sum of its child processes wasn't higher than about 5%.  I left it alone for several minutes to settle down, and then it was fine again.  I used the &quot;video card stability test&quot; from [firestone-group.com][2].  Its output isn't very detailed, but it at least exercises the hardware pretty hard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/6574/pc-runs-very-slowly-for-no-apparent-reason/6592#6592&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://freestone-group.com/video-card-stability-test.htm" />

Bypassing software that picks up keycodes as keys are pressed and released can be done by using on-screen keyboards or cut and paste from screen-based data but that will not work with software working at lower levels (at some point the operating system has to feed the &quot;simulated keypresses&quot; to the application waiting for input).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The risk can be further reduced by using an operating system that is less likely to be a target for keylogging software attacks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this really matters and the hardware is clear of logging devices then booting a read-only copy of a known clean operating system (e.g. a checksummed live CD or DVD) is worth considering if the hardware/network owner permits this and the CD/DVD contains the applications you need and you know the setup parameters needed (passwords and data could be on an encrypted USB stick mounted, in a Unix-like system, to not allow file execution). Using your own hardware/software, following good security practices and rebuilding regularly from clean, trusted, checksummed media is another way forward.  " />

Bypassing software that picks up keycodes as keys are pressed and released can be done by using on-screen keyboards or cut and paste from screen-based data but that will not work with software working at lower levels (at some point the operating system has to feed the &quot;simulated keypresses&quot; to the application waiting for input).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The risk can be further reduced by using an operating system that is less likely to be a target for keylogging software attacks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this really matters and the hardware is clear of logging devices then booting a read-only copy of a known clean operating system (e.g. a checksummed live CD or DVD) is worth considering if the hardware/network owner permits this and the CD/DVD contains the applications you need and you know the setup parameters needed (passwords and data could be on an encrypted USB stick mounted, in a Unix-like system, to not allow file execution). Using your own hardware/software, following good security practices and rebuilding regularly from clean, trusted, checksummed media is another way forward.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The suggested mechanisms aim to reduce the risk of having keylogging software on the system. If a keylogger gets onto a system the a strong firewall policy *may* detect a keylogger attempting to send data back to its 'owner' over the network but that often assumes an onerous manual involvement in the firewall process (e.g. tuning the system to allow specific applications to use specific IP ports and addresses). Finally, as well as a keylogger on the system, some of what has been typed in may be visible if the data is transmitted over a network or the physical integrity of the filesystem is compromised. How these can be mitigated is beyond the scope of this question but must be included when considering application and system integrity." />

This computer doesn't have that ability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can anyone recommend some super quiet fans in the 80mm and 120mm sizes, as well as a quiet CPU cooler for Socket 754?" />

Ext4 for example might give you a boost because of its [delayed allocation][1]. Another common technique is to use the &quot;[relatime][2]&quot; mount option. Many people also think that fragmentation only occurs on Windows but it's far from the true. The problem is that defragmentation is only possible on XFS and ext4.

You can get some impressive fans (or better yet, huge passive heat sinks with heatpipes to lead to a 120mm case fan) but they'll cost you - I'd guess the project would run about $150. And after that the other fans might need replacing, or the addition of some sound absorbing material.

The default $PATH variable for a regular user puts looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By putting `/usr/local/bin` _after_ `/usr/bin` and `/bin`, Mac upends the whole system. Normally, you can put something into `/usr/local/` (say a second Perl, compiled in some non-standard way), and then a regular user will hit the custom one rather than the system-wide one first. This is good. Users can get variants, but the system stays pure. In any case, you can put things (as is normal) into `/usr/local`, but if there is something by the same name already in `/usr/bin` or `/bin`, that will get found first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To fix this, you can change the regular user's `$PATH` by editing the _.profile_ file in the user's home directory. (That file doesn't exist initially, but you can create it easily.) I do that soon after I start any new Mac. Just so you know, if you use [MacPorts][1] or [Fink][2], you can get good package management for command line utilities on a Mac. Each has its own pros and cons. I mention it because they both deliberately use non-standard installation locations, so that they can be easily removed root-and-branch.

Except for tabs, it supports everything else! It's lightweight and perfect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I recently found out how to replace `notepad.exe` with `Notepad2.exe` without modifying any operating system files. Taken from [this link][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Replacing Windows Notepad with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Notepad2&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Replacing Windows Notepad with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Notepad2 can be a little tricky since&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `notepad.exe` is a protected system&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file, which makes a direct replacement&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a bit difficult (though not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; impossible).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; There is an easier way to replace&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Notepad by using the &quot;Image&#xD;&#xA;&gt; File Execution Options&quot; registry key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to trick Windows into running&#xD;&#xA;&gt; notepad2.exe whenever notepad.exe is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; run. This same trick is used by the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Replace Task Manager&quot; function in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft's [Process Explorer][3]. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; benefit to using this method to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; replace Notepad is that you will not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; run afoul of Windows File Protection&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (since you are not actually replacing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the executable itself), and you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; undo it at any time by simply deleting&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the registry key. The downside to this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; method is that it does not work&#xD;&#xA;&gt; properly with the official Notepad2&#xD;&#xA;&gt; build; there are a few minor changes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that need to be made to Notepad2 in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; order for this to work (see my&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `img_exec_replace` patch).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In order to use this method of Notepad&#xD;&#xA;&gt; replacement, you will need to follow&#xD;&#xA;&gt; these steps:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    1. Obtain a build of Notepad2 that supports this form of Notepad&#xD;&#xA;&gt; replacement.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    2. Create the following registry key: `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Options\notepad.exe`.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    3. Inside the key, create a new string (`REG_SZ`) value, named&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `&quot;Debugger&quot;`.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    4. Set the data of this new `&quot;Debugger&quot;` value to the full path to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the Notepad2 executable, followed by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the `/z` switch. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `&quot;C:\Windows\Notepad2.exe&quot; /z`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://code.kliu.org/misc/notepad2/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx" />

If you don't have a `.bashrc` in any user's home, you can make one and add this line to it, but remember to change the permissions on the file you create to make it readable by the user in question (obviously not relevant if you're doing it for your own profile).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The `$PATH` at the end appends the system default path to whatever you put before.

The question is, how much of that customization is required?  If you go with Arch or Linux from Scratch you'll be obviously be choosing everything yourself; Gentoo, Debian, and Slackware are more traditional in that sense; but even the slickest distros don't stop you from changing anything.  So, I'd pick **(K)ubuntu, Fedora, or SuSE** but dump them if you find they're doing too much for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which brings me to another point: with the abundance of free distributions, why convince yourself that your choice is permanent?  I've been on Kubuntu for a year, but I've also used Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, and Arch with KDEMod.  It does help to install `/home` on a separate partition or hard drive, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: I see from your other question that you're already using Arch, which is interesting because in my experience it was rather smooth after the big installation and configuration hump.

Text="There hundreds of possibilities. You can create a RAID array with [MD][4], for example. Maybe if you put more RAM into the computer it will perform better because the disk cache can contain more data. If your partition is closer to the beginning of the disk it will perform better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And don't forget about different file systems! Ext4 and XFS for example might give you a boost because of their [delayed allocation][1]. Another common technique is to use the &quot;[relatime][2]&quot; mount option. Many people also think that fragmentation only occurs on Windows but it's far from the true. The problem is that defragmentation is only possible on XFS and ext4. But these things can be workload specific.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you reduce the load that gives a general performance boost. The easiest way to do this is to mount the /tmp as tmpfs. (Thanks for the tip, [theotherreceive][3]!) Of course you have to have enough RAM for this, but it might be faster even if it runs from swap because files are memory mapped. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocate-on-flush&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://superuser.com/users/1002/theotherreceive&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-0.4x-HOWTO.html" />

Also it's illegal to just dump them, and I can wait for ever for an official computer trash collection event (manhattan) and am limited to 1 computer at a time!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've had limited success listing them on craigslist due to there being some 50+ adds a day for &quot;new macbook Air only $287&quot; from some questionable source, and partial success listing them on Ebay (only a 2001 ibook sold).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The issues seem to be that a buyer needs to know enough to be able to do something with these, they're not going to be running Excel 2007 or 2003 on any of these. They could disassemble the laptops to make a picture frame or fish tank animation, or run linux/netBSD on the others for fun only.  But any buyer that knows that probably has access to other hand-me-downs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How do you sell / give these to someone who wants them and remain honest about it in the process. I tried with a few models starting with a disclaimer of: $200 will buy you a much better machine, you only want this if you have nostalgic attachments to Apple or the PowerPC, or you have some programs or programming projects that only run on these.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any suggestions?" />

I am going to provide the information anyway though, just in case! There is a company called Gefen who makes great products for video in the pro-sumer to professional range. The product I would recommend is the Gefen VGA to [DVI Scaler PLUS][1], the MSRP is $329USD, but I imagine you could find it cheaper elsewher. The product takes VGA in scales it and outputs DVI. This is important because you cannot simply adapt VGA to DVI or HDMI, it must be scaled up in order to match the resolution of your display. Gefen also makes a DVI to HDMI adapter (www.gefen.com/kvm/dvi-hdmi-adapters.jsp (Sorry I cn only post one hyperlink as a new user)) (so do other companies, but I really like this one) if your TV does not support DVI, or if you would just prefer HDMI. I'm sure there are other hardware solutions out there that would work for what you are looking for, but this is the only device that I have had personal experience with, and therefore is the only one I am comfortable recommending. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option is to go with a USB external video card that supports DVI. The advantage to this is that it will allows support for a wider variety of resolutions. The solution I suggested above should work even on a low end video card, but there is still a chance that you will not be able to get 16:9 out of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, as many others have suggested, stay away from S-Video if you can.

I believe the problem is actually the copy protection the they are putting on the video. This is known as HDCP which stands for High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection. When you are both imputing and outputting the TV signal through the same card the HDCP chain is maintained, but when you drag the video onto another monitor (and another card) the HDCP chain must be getting broken. My guess would be that the other cards in your computer are not HDCP compliant and the All In Wonder knows this and is unwilling to provide the other cards with the stream. I would suggest trying to get a card that you can confirm supports HDCP (maybe borrow one from a friend) and try that before looking for another capture card which will likely produce the same problem. Another possibility is that your monitor may not be HDCP compliant. I do not know if the video card is ensuring that HDCP is maintained end-to-end, but if it is then it could be possible that the monitor attached to the other card is not HDCP compliant and that could also cause the black video. If you are using VGA on your other monitor then it is a distinct possibility that is the problem. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!" />

Terrestrial, satellite, and cable signals are all different.[...]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;You can buy a satellite &quot;tuner&quot; that will receive the DVB-S (I think) signals from the StarChoice satellites. It will accept the RF signals collected by your dish and translate them into binary data that the computer can see. This is probably illegal in Canada. The data you get is encrypted [...], so no one has bothered breaking it. [...]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The only real option you have right now for recording HD video from your StarChoice box is the Hauppauge HD PVR. This exploits the analog hole and allows you to record the HD signals from the component video output of your set top box. This is not a tuner because it does not receive RF frequencies. It is a video capture box and a serious kludge. It even comes with a WebTV era &quot;IR Blaster&quot; that pretends to be a remote control and changes the channels for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can you plug the satellite reciever that is supplied to you by StarChoice into your computer using RF (a coaxial cabe) into just a regular digital tuner card? If you can then you may be able to use that and Windows Media Center *should* be able to record that just fine, although I am not sure if you would be able to change channels in Media Center, or if you would need to change them on your satellite reciever." />

Individual cores are not getting much faster these days as the manufacturers are bumping into the limits of the technology.  Most consumer software is not CPU bound - and this has been the case since the 1990s.  CPU and GPU performance is now being used on eye candy such as detailed graphics on games - in fact the gaming market is pretty much at the cutting edge of processor technology and dragging the HPC industry with it.  The newest machine I own is a laptop purchased in 2006 and I have no intention of replacing it in the forseeable future.  Every other machine I own was purchased secondhand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Historically, usable computing power was growing at a rate that a 3 year old machine was getting to be obsolete simply because it wasn't big enough to run the latest software.  MS has made some attempts to artificially continue this trend with Vista and Windows 7 but vista has been not been a commercial success.  Why? XP runs people's software fine and most view the security issues as something they'll put up with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Windows XP will run just fine on a P3 with quite a small memory footprint - I've used it just fine on a machine with 256MB of RAM.  This means that most machines built in the last decade or so will run it with a memory upgrade at most.  Most Linux distributions will also run quite happily on a machine of that spec.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many graphics applications (CAD, media and DTP and even video editing and animation) started out life on machines of vastly lower specification than a modern PC.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The entire  farm of SGI boxes used to render the gloopy terminator in *T2* had less computing power than a modern gaming card.  That was 1989 - ***20 years ago.***  By the time ILM was doing *The Phantom Menace* the last of those machines was [being retired][1] from its role as an email server because it could not keep up with the volume of email at ILM.  &#xD;&#xA; - The CGI effects in *The Matrix* were rendered on 64 dual P3 boxes.&#xD;&#xA; - The CGI on *Babylon 5* was done and redered on Amigas.  &#xD;&#xA; - *The Last Starfighter* was rendered on a Cray XMP - a machine with less than 1/1000 of the computing power of a modern GPU (SP vs. DP notwithstanding).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All we're left with is bloat.  I have some high spec (for 2007 when I bought them) XW9300 boxes for doing data warehouse development but my main Linux desktop is an ex-lease DC7100 that I bought for £69 off ebay.  This has a Quadro NVS285 card, a WD740GD (Raptor) drive scrounged from the XW9300s and 1GB of RAM.  If I fitted a DX10 video card it would probably run Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I'd say that apart from Microsoft's attempts to manipulate the PC market, the 3 year obsolesence of PCs is an artifact of the past.  You could make an environmentalist argument about a modern machine using less power but quite a lot of energy goes into making a new PC and disposal of used electronic equipment is often [not the most environmentally friendly][2] of processes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As to a modern PC - I tend to suggest people wanting one on the cheap consider ex-lease machines.  However, they really must be viewed as disposable items - if they blow up you throw them away (this would probably happen to them anyway).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a new machine, I suggest that people wanting a quality system consider a single socket workstation like an [HP XW4600.][3]  The spec of these machines is about the same as a PC but they are built for a SLA.  They tend to use better quality parts - such as avoiding crappy grades of electrolytic capacitors.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only other way to get a machine of that quality is to micromanage the individual components of the box - Motherboard A, PSU B etc.  These components will be just as expensive as the workstation as they tend to carry a premium price.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.05/lucas_pr.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/ghana804/video/video_index.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/12454-12454-296719-307907-296721-3429268.html" />

When I got back home from work, I found that my PCs had shut down during one of these outages.  When I went to boot one of them back up, I couldn't get anything to display on screen, nor did the boot seem to complete correctly.  I tried a number of things - unplugging different bits of hardware, swapping graphics adaptors, etc. - to no avail.  I thought I was looking at a fried motherboard or CPU.  Power seemed to be distributed correctly to the peripherals (the drives all appeared to be working) so I figured it couldn't be the PSU.  Eventually I unplugged it from the mains and left it overnight (approx 12hrs unplugged).  I tried it again this morning, and it booted up correctly.  Woo-hoo!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have all my equipment protected by surge-protected power strips, so I don't think a spike caused these problems.  Obviously it has something to do with the power fluctuations, and maybe the PSU in the problem machine got itself confused somehow.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The questions are, for future reference and to help people with similar problems:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

A wall mount isn't likely to be an option, has anyone seen some kind of &quot;double high monitor stand&quot; that they could recommend? stability's not a huge issue, as the stand would be resting against the wall (that I can't use the mount on).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks,&#xD;&#xA;Tedd Johnson" />

Only a few (less than 10%) have developed defects, and usually only in a single file.  Compare with a set of single-layer DVDs that I burned about 4 years ago, with over 80% of them reporting a defect, and more than half of those defects are in multiple files (the files on the CDs are smaller and numerous, the files on the DVDs are larger and fewer in count).  The number of CDs is over 40 and the number of DVDs is about a dozen.  I don't have file counts handy, but I can say there are easily several hundred on each CD, but about a dozen files on the DVDs.  CD stock was from the same manufacturer but from different lots, DVD stock likewise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So these numbers are kinda soft, but I think it gives a good impression as to the longevity involved.  With a little luck, the CDs will last maybe another 5 years before I see even more errors, although that may be wishful thinking at best.  The DVDs were a bit of a disappointment, although in hindsight I guess it would make sense that they would be a bit more volatile due to the nature of how they are recorded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, for short-term backup (less than 5 years), CDs appear to work fine.  I can't speak for DVDs as there really aren't enough to have a good sample to work from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I pull out the CD sets every other year or so, and reburn them if they have anything important on them.

Some people may even be using Private Browsing modes. However, only few seem to realise that Adobe's Flash player leaves a cross-browser trail on your local hard drive, and allows for sending cookie-like information back to the server, including third-party sites. And because it is a plugin, Flash does not take any of the browser's privacy settings into account. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, some details about why using Flash raises a privacy concern:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Flash player keeps a cross-browser history of the domain names of the Flash-sites your computer has visited. Unlike your browser's history, this history is not limited to a certain number of days. History is also recorded while using so-called Private Browsing modes. It is stored on your hard drive (though, as described below, without going to Adobe's site you won't know what is stored).&#xD;&#xA;- I am not sure if any date and time information is kept about each visit, but to see the domain names: right-click on some Flash content, open the settings dialog, and click the Help icon or click the *Advanced* button within the *Privacy* tab. This opens a browser to the [help pages][1] on Adobe.com, where one can click through to the [*Website Privacy Settings*][2] panel.&#xD;&#xA;- One can clear the existing list, but one cannot stop it from being recorded again.&#xD;&#xA;- Flash allows for storing data on your local hard drive, using so-called [Local Shared Objects][3] (aka &quot;Flash Cookies&quot;). Just like HTTP cookies, this data *can* be sent back to the server, for tracking purposes. They are cross-browser, have no expiration date, and no user defined maximum lifetime can be set in the Flash preferences either. These not being HTTP cookies, they are (of course) not blocked by a browser's cookies preferences and are not removed when the normal HTTP cookies are deleted.&#xD;&#xA;- Local Shared Objects are not limited to the site you visit, and third-party storage is enabled by default. At the [*Global Storage Settings*][4] panel one can deselect the default *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer*. Because of the cross-browser and expiration-less nature (and the fact that little people know about it), I feel that the cross-browser third-party Flash Cookies are more dangerous for visitor tracking than third-party normal HTTP cookies. They are even [used to restore][5] plain HTTP cookies.&#xD;&#xA;- When selecting *None* (zero KB) for *Specify the amount of disk space that website websites that you haven't yet visited can use to store information on your computer*, and checking *Never ask again* then some sites do not work. However, the same site might work when setting it to *None* but without selecting *Never ask again*, and then choose *Deny* whenever [prompted][6]. Both options would result in zero KB of data being allowed, but the behaviour differs.&#xD;&#xA;- The plugin also provides a [Flash Player cache][7] for Adobe-signed files. I guess these files are not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: **how to automatically delete that information?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a Mac, one can find a `settings.sol` file and a folder for each visited Flash-website in:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Deleting the `settings.sol` file and all the folders in `sys`, removes the trail from the settings panels. However, the actual Local Shared Ojects are elsewhere (see [Wikipedia][8] for locations on other operating systems):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then: how to remove this automatically? Simply removing the folders and the `settings.sol` file every now and then (like by using `launchd` or Windows' Task Scheduler) may interfere with active browsers. Or is it safe to assume that, given the cross-browser nature, the plugin would not care if things are removed while it is active? Only clearing during log-off may not work for those who hibernate all the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firefox users can install [BetterPrivacy][9] or [Objection][10] to delete the Local Shared Objects (for all others browsers as well). I don't know if that also deletes the trail of website domain names.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or: **how to stop Flash from storing a history trail?** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change of plans: I'm currently testing prohibiting Flash to write to its own `sys` and `#SharedObjects` folders. So far, Flash has not tried to restore permissions (though, when deleting the folders, Flash will of course recreate them). I've not encountered any problems but this may take some while to validate, using multiple browsers and sites. I've not yet found a log that reports errors. On a Mac:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cd &quot;$HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; rm -r sys/*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; chmod u-w sys  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; cd &quot;$HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; rm -r \\#SharedObjects/*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; chmod u-w \\#SharedObjects&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess the above `chmod`s cannot be achieved on an old Windows system (I'm not sure about XP and Vista?). Though maybe on Windows one could replace the *folders* `sys` and `#SharedObjects` with dummy *files* with the same names? Anyone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, keeping Flash from storing those Local Shared Objects for all sites may cause problems. For one, even when *only* blocking the `sys` folder (and leaving the `#SharedObjects` folder as is) YouTube won't remember your volume settings while viewing multiple videos. Temporarily allowing write access to these folders while visiting those sites (to *only* create folders for domains you like, maybe including references in `settings.sol`) solves that. This way Flash can still write to `sys/#s.ytimg.com` and `#SharedObjects/s.ytimg.com` (for YouTube) but not create *new* folders for other domains. One may also need to make `settings.sol` read-only afterwards, or delete it again. Any experience anyone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a moment I considered not blocking write access for `sys` and `#SharedObjects`, but explicitly creating read-only folders for well-known third-party tracking domains (like based on a list from, for example, AdBlock Plus). That way, any other domain could still create Local Shared Objects. But the list would be long, and  the domains from AdBlock Plus are probably all third-party domains anyway, so disabling *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer* might have the very same result.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Final notes: if the above links to the settings panels do not work in the future, then use [www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager][11] as a starting point.

I'll have to check its performance since that would mean even greater savings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 2**:  The Atom powered WHS (I researched one from HP and one from Acer) claim that load power usage is 26 watts and that they can go to sleep @ 3W and turn back on upon accessed automatically.  @ 26w that means 0.6 kwh per day (meaning even faster at less than 1 year ROI).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/3204/how-much-will-it-cost-me-to-run-a-windows-home-server/3991#3991&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/users/1304/joel-coehoorn" />

Development of &quot;Dog&quot; has been long in the making, spanning centuries and involving hundreds of people.  Several refinements exist today and can be easily purchased in most countries.  There has been much research into the effectiveness of &quot;Dog&quot;, and I will provide a condensed summary of that research for you to evaluate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![A high-tech device known as &quot;Dog&quot;][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Each unit is manufactured with a limited intelligence that actively seeks out potential threats&#xD;&#xA; - Acts as an early-warning system through the use of ultra-sensitive acoustic detection sensors, known as &quot;Ears&quot;&#xD;&#xA; - Has a set of optical recognition scanners known as &quot;Eyes&quot;.  Eyes can function in some low-light conditions, allowing for night time operation.&#xD;&#xA; - Has a built-in alarm system, known as &quot;Bark&quot;, which can be clearly heard&#xD;&#xA; - Can function as a full deterent through I/O devices known as &quot;Teeth&quot;.  Teeth are an extremely effective deterent, even at a distance.&#xD;&#xA; - Device &quot;Dog&quot; typically comes equipped with four high-range-of-motion ball-and-socket mobility devices called &quot;Legs&quot;, which allow for a wide range of movement at very fast speeds&#xD;&#xA; - Proactively pursues threats through &quot;Legs&quot; for as long as possible, often with positive results&#xD;&#xA; - Very low false-positive rate allows you to deploy unit &quot;Dog&quot; under a variety of circumstances, while maintaining peace-of-mind&#xD;&#xA; - Can double as a form of entertainment with the right equipment.  Popular accessories are &quot;frisbee&quot;, &quot;ball&quot;, &quot;stick&quot;, and for the discerning geek owner, &quot;low-power red dot laser pointer&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Primitive but effective built-in speech recognition software is sophisticated enough to deliver commands that require &quot;Dog&quot; to utilize the built-in intelligence while engaging the &quot;leg&quot; mobility devices and &quot;eye&quot; optical scanners.  Common commands are &quot;fetch&quot;, &quot;sit&quot;, &quot;lie down&quot;, &quot;stay&quot;.  Can add additional commands such as &quot;heel&quot;, &quot;quiet&quot;, and the one you're looking for, which is &quot;defend&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Unit &quot;Dog&quot; is of such advanced technology that it can actually be made to replicate itself!  Note that this process requires more than one unit, along with additional expenses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Requires constant energy inputs in the form of proteins.  Inputs must be given on a regular schedule or unit &quot;Dog&quot; will permanently expire, regardless of your license terms.&#xD;&#xA; - Requires constant maintenance &quot;intervals&quot;, resulting in &quot;core dumps&quot; and &quot;output streams&quot; which are mostly unwanted&#xD;&#xA; - Ignoring regular maintenance &quot;intervals&quot; will result in &quot;core dump&quot; and &quot;output stream&quot; regardless if &quot;Dog&quot; is deployed inside or outside.  It is imperative you follow recommended guidelines for regular maintenance, otherwise satisfaction in &quot;Dog&quot; will decline.&#xD;&#xA; - Alarm system &quot;Bark&quot; can sometimes malfunction for extended periods of time, leading to complaints&#xD;&#xA; - Deployment of the &quot;Dog&quot; unit can be difficult under certain circumstances, or not even possible.  If you are currently using a rental unit, be sure to check with your local domicile rules before starting deployment.&#xD;&#xA; - During initial software training, &quot;Teeth&quot; I/O device will sometimes malfunction, resulting in a loss of whatever object is mis-identified as either a threat or entertainment accessory.  Sofas and pillows have been common identification issues.&#xD;&#xA; - Is subjected to social engineering attacks on occasion, the most successful one known as &quot;rare steak&quot;.  Unit &quot;Dog&quot; sometimes responds to this, and sometimes not, depending on the amount of time spent training the built-in Intelligence unit.&#xD;&#xA; - Replicated units can sometimes be more than you bargained for, requiring that you spend time finding new homes for them&#xD;&#xA; - Can be destroyed, usually through the application of weapons&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.my-doberman.com/images/doberman-origin.jpg" />

It saves files with the extension of .RBS and .RBF. These are Rollback Script Files used by the installer to uninstall recent changes if an install fails somewhere along the way. The rollback script file (.rbs) is always stored in the Config.msi folder on the disk where the operating system is installed. The .rbf files are stored in the Config.msi folder located on the disk where the program that is being backed up currently resides. These can be two different drives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Essentially the CONFIG.MSI folder contains backups of files that are being installed or updated during a program installation. Upon a successful completion, this folder and files are deleted automatically. However, sometimes the installer program fails to remove these files. In this case, you may safely delete the CONFIG.MSI folder and files from your hard drive.

And you can put the ssh-agent and ssh-add stuff into your login scripts (setup is different depending on shell you use) to automate this, but some unix variants (current Ubuntu linux, for instance) do most of that automatically, so that all you really need to do is create a key and use ssh-copy-id to set it up on the remote host.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, &quot;`ssh username@server`&quot; should work without asking for any authentication.

Add your key to the agent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Run `ssh-add` and enter the key's passphrase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are using GNOME, `gnome-keyring-daemon` usually provides the same SSH agent functionality, and you do not need to start a new one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. You only need a SSHv2 key, as SSHv1 is very insecure and now unused.&#xD;&#xA;1. You also only need one type of key - either RSA or DSA is enough.&#xD;&#xA;2.

I don't own my Arduino anymore having sold it to another student who ALSO felt that he wanted to write in C and not in BASIC.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The BASIC stamp is a milspec chip, and has been used on hundreds of amateur projects, and also in household appliances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, the BASIC Stamp has been incorporated within a device that schedules the times a sprinkler system is to be turned on, it has also been used on various different Near Space balloons (very much like the near space project I worked on [nearspace.0x58.com for more info][1]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Dismissing this versatile and useful chip because it does not have a C compiler is a mistake. It will be easier to prototype with, easier to quickly build various projects, and does not require the extensive knowledge of writing C code to run on an embedded platform.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you are done with the BASIC Stamp, you can move up to Parallax's SX28. This is a chip that can be programmed in SX/B (The SX version of BASIC, using those same skills and almost the same code you learned for the BASIC Stamp). C compilers do exist for the SX, as well as allowing you to program it entirely in assembly (good platform to learn assembly on).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then the next step up is another Parallax device called the Propeller. This gives you 8 different cores to run code on, all in an embedded device allowing you to multi-task. It has to be written in an entirely new programming language called Spin, but by the time that you have taught yourself BASIC and SX/B you will have come to understand Parallax's awesome resources, awesome manuals and guides, and Spin will be nothing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have worked with Parallax's products for a long time, Just recently have I started moving to the Ti MSP430 for a new project I am working on, mainly for a new challenge as well as it having everything I needed on a single chip.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My outright suggestion, if you had not guessed it yet, go with the Parallax BASIC stamp.

On the remote server, create a folder `.ssh` in your home directory.&#xD;&#xA;2. In that directory, create a file named `authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;3. Copy your **public** key (contents of `id_rsa.pub`) to the remote `authorized_keys` file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short version: `scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remoteserver:.ssh/authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Third, load the key into `ssh-agent`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you load your private key into an agent, it will hold the decrypted key, so you won't have to enter the key's passphrase either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To load the key, run &lt;pre&gt;ssh-add&lt;/pre&gt; and enter the key's passphrase. (If your key is *not* in the default location `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, you will need to provide the full path. For example, `ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key`)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If `ssh-add` says &quot;Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.&quot;, then you don't have a SSH agent running. Launch one using this command: &lt;pre&gt;eval $(ssh-agent)&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are using GNOME, `gnome-keyring-daemon` usually provides the same SSH agent functionality as `ssh-agent`, so you should not need to start anything. GNOME will automatically load and unlock the key on login, too.

On the remote server, create a folder `.ssh` in your home directory.&#xD;&#xA;2. In that directory, create a file named `authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;3. Copy your **public** key (contents of `id_rsa.pub`) to the remote `authorized_keys` file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short version: `scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remoteserver:.ssh/authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Third, load the key into `ssh-agent`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you load your private key into an agent, it will hold the decrypted key, so you won't have to enter the key's passphrase either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To load the key, run &lt;pre&gt;ssh-add&lt;/pre&gt; and enter the key's passphrase.

For example, `ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key`)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If `ssh-add` says &quot;Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.&quot;, then you don't have a SSH agent running.

Text="#First, generate a SSH key (if you don't have one)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you happen to use GNOME, the **`seahorse`** application (&quot;Passwords and Encryption Keys&quot;) can do it for you: *File* -&gt; *New* -&gt; *Secure Shell Key*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you prefer terminal, run **`ssh-keygen`** (no parameters needed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you just press Enter in `ssh-keygen`, your public key is now stored in `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`, and the private one is in `~/.ssh/id_rsa` (`id_dsa` for DSA keys). It is highly recommended to leave the paths as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Second, upload the public key to the remote server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, `seahorse` can often do that for you - in *My Personal Keys*, right-click on your SSH key and choose **Configure key for secure shell**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here's the terminal way, step by step:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. On the remote server, create a folder `.ssh` in your home directory.&#xD;&#xA;2. In that directory, create a file named `authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;3. Copy your **public** key (contents of `id_rsa.pub`) to the remote `authorized_keys` file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short version: `scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remoteserver:.ssh/authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Third, load the key into `ssh-agent`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you load your private key into an agent, it will hold the decrypted key in memory. Otherwise, you would have have to enter the key's passphrase every time you connect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To load the key, run &lt;pre&gt;ssh-add&lt;/pre&gt; and enter the key's passphrase. (If your key is *not* in the default location `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, you will need to provide the full path. For example, `ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key`)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If `ssh-add` says &quot;Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.&quot;, then you don't have a SSH agent running. Launch one using this command: &lt;pre&gt;eval $(ssh-agent)&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are using GNOME, `gnome-keyring-daemon` usually provides the same SSH agent functionality as `ssh-agent`, so you should not need to start anything. GNOME will automatically load and unlock the key on login, too. (I don't use KDE, so I don't know anything about that.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Fourth, run `ssh` to connect to the remote server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you loaded your key into the agent as described in step three, `ssh` will automatically use it. Otherwise, it will try to use `~/.ssh/id_rsa`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Both `scp` and `sftp`, which use ssh to connect, can use the key too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. You only need a SSHv2 key, as SSHv1 is very insecure and now unused.&#xD;&#xA;1. You also only need one type of key - either RSA or DSA is enough.&#xD;&#xA;2. All these steps are the same for both RSA and DSA keys. If you use DSA, use `id_dsa` instead of `id_dsa`. But then, if you care enough to know the difference, you probably have figured that out too.&#xD;&#xA;3. Some old OpenSSH versions require the file to be `authorized_keys`**`2`** - but those are rare." />

What happened was that I was going to write a &quot;Worm&quot; game (you know, like on Nokia phones).

But if I let the line stay forever, I didn't need that, I could just check if I was running into a white pixel!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Needless to say, such a game would be bloody boring as a single user game, so I made it a two-person game. To my knowledge it was the only two-person game for the machine in question, a Luxor ABC80, and as such it has some minor success on my school, as most of the other games available tended to get boring pretty quick. The game was very simple, the effect good. You could even play against the computer. It was hard to get that to be good enough to be fun. And if you waited too long to select 1 or 2 player mode, the computer would start playing against itself. That was pretty awesome. At least I thought so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should have sent it in to ABC-klubben, the computer club for the computer in question. Then it would have ended up on their cassette they sent out with magazine issues. But lack of self-confidence meant that never happened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This all must have been 1982-1984.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before (81-82) that I also wrote a program to help my Mom calculate some extra-tricky taxes. She worked for the Swedish tax authority then, and there was one complicated form that she came across a lot and had to check that the company in question had done the calculations correct. So I just made a program where she could fill in all parts of the form and then the computer would calculate it. That wasn't awesome at all, but it was my first venture into doing something with a computer that actually did something, and not just trying to figure out how the computer worked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Must have been one of the first personal computers in use in the Swedish tax authority. :)&#xD;&#xA;It was to my knowledge the first in that county.

Compare with a set of single-layer DVDs that I burned about 4 years ago, with over 80% of them reporting a defect, and more than half of those defects are in multiple files (the files on the CDs are smaller and numerous, the files on the DVDs are larger and fewer in count).  The number of CDs is over 40 and the number of DVDs is about a dozen.  I don't have file counts handy, but I can say there are easily several hundred on each CD, but about a dozen files on the DVDs; those counts are per-disk.  CD stock was from the same manufacturer but from different lots, DVD stock likewise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So these numbers are kinda soft, but I think it gives a good impression as to the longevity involved.  With a little luck, the CDs will last maybe another 5 years before I see even more errors, although that may be wishful thinking at best.  The DVDs were a bit of a disappointment, although in hindsight I guess it would make sense that they would be a bit more volatile due to the nature of how they are recorded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, for short-term backup (less than 5 years), CDs appear to work fine.

If they said: &quot;Because the memory controller in the chipset is limited to 4GB, despite being seemingly identical to the memory controller in the same chipset newest MacBook model,&quot; then I'd just take their word for it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone tried it, or found any research as to whether two 4GB DDR3 1066mhz SO-DIMMs can be installed in the unibody MacBook without FireWire?" />

If you're lucky you might get 20 hours to spend on the CDs in a weekend, but you will be bored stiff. At that rate it will take 12 weekends to finish.

Rather than tackle it all at one time, he just popped in a CD to burn every time he walked by the computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It will be difficult to get bit-perfect rips for every single CD.

It is difficult to automate without expensive hardware, but if you do it properly it only needs to be done once and you can automate everything on the PC after that.

You can see the part near the end where calls dynamic_pager. **By fiddling with the parameters, you can hose your machine.** Or you can change the default sizes. I did this on a PowerBook (Wallstreet) with a very small hard drive to have a finer granularity. Using 40mb swap file size, when consuming 90mb of swap, only 120mb of disk space would be dedicated instead of 160mb. Not a big change, and not worth doing for most people. You could have it create a much larger file too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Mac OS X can actually do swap object re-location and swap file removal. This actually is a pretty cool improvement from the ever expanding swap file problem under NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP." />

If you can begin to route and tie related cables together, you will begin to build bigger and bigger trunks that will only branch out where they need to for you pieces of equipment.

You&#xD;&#xA;&gt; seem to be going to a lot of effort&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for a marginal result.

The interface can be USB,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; SCSI, eSATA, LAN, whatever, it makes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; no difference. Software RAID is a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compromise at best.

It was nice, but was basically just a conversion tool. Until I upgraded to one of the higher licenses, it had a very small queue and was rather cumbersome. It did produce very good quality images however. In lieu of your question about easy to use software, I would not recommend this. It supports both Windows and Mac.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that I tested [Bibble](http://www.bibblelabs.com), which also supports both Windows and Mac. It too leans heavily towards conversion only. Personally I liked Bibble a lot more than Capture One. The price was nicer as well, at $159 for the Pro license.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also tested [Adobe Camera Raw](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html), in conjunction with [Adobe Photoshop Elements](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/) and [Adobe Photoshop Album](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopalbum/index.html). Worked rather nice, the conversion process felt a bit clunky to me though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe [Picasa](http://picasa.google.com/) supports the RAW files by my Canon camera, but I have never tested it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently I use [Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2](http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/), which serves me very well. The price wasn't all that bad, but yes, it's slightly more than what you might be used to for &quot;home&quot; edition type software. Then again, camera RAW files are slightly above what I would suggest &quot;home&quot; people do anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anything, I would suggest to people I know that ask to go with Lightroom. It has the organization tools built in and the conversion tools are both powerful and, compared to others I've tried, relatively easy to use." />

The Megahertz and Gigahertz of clock speeds and bus speeds can seem a bit opaque if you do not have an electronics background.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing to consider is the actual clock speed.  The clock speed is effectively the number of times per second the computer can conduct an operation.  The operations are usually read or write in the case of memory. The clock speed and synchronization is needed so all of the electronic components know when to listen for the electrical signal that represents a 1 or a 0.  If either side is early or later talking or listening then there is a high likelihood of an error determining the correct state of the bit in memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second lets abstract this as if it were a phone call. Imagine we are both on a phone connected directly to each other.  We have a metronome that is clicking once every five seconds and every time it clicks we take turns speaking. We are exchanging information back and forth. We express the information in a predetermined way which is to scream over the line when the metronome clicks to represent a 1 in memory and silence to represent a zero.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that the example is laid out I can use this to demonstrate a few things about the way ram functions.  The protocol in this example is we take turns every time the metronome clicks.  If either of us miss one of the clicks of the metronome we find ourselves out of sync.  Synchronization errors are effectively expressed when the two of us are not talking and listening at the right moments.  If you start listening at just a milisecond after I stopped yelling, then you would eroneously interpret that to be a 0 state.  They call this jitter.  The worse the two sides get out of sync, the more pronounced the number of state determination errors will occur.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The clock speed is needed to allow the motherboard and the memory to correctly exchange state information with one another.  The clock speed of the memory is more or less equal to the speed at which it is capable of reading/writing data to RAM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason there is such a variation in speeds of memory modules is because over the last several years, materials science has developed lower power memory that is capable of maintaining a greater number of reliable state interrogation points per second effectively making the memory faster.  The time it takes the electrical signal in the wire to go from a complete 0 to a complete 1 is called transient time (Also referred to as low and high states)  When reading/writing memory, the closer the read/write is to the clock sync pulse, the more likely it is the read/write will  be successful.  The closer it is to the mid point between clock pulses, the more likely that the read/write will be unsuccessful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most average users do not get into the nitty gritty details like this, but if you are brave and have designs to overclock a computer or crank up the bus speed then you probably care much more about this sort of thing.  You can often times get greater speed out of electronics but the side effect is more heat and more errors.  The heat is a function of the increase in the number of operations taking place and the errors are usually directly related to the particular performance characteristics of the semiconductor material in the memory.  The speed rating of memory is more or less just performance metric the memory is designed to achieve with a acceptable amount of read/write errors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this answers your question....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I ran a virus scan which seemed to pick up a few things. And, I swapped the power cable connected to the drive. After all this, the problem seemed to go away.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Today, similar issues have come back. The computer has even locked up on boot at the Windows log-in screen several times. I believe the computer is losing its connection to the drive somehow. Once, XP didn't even recognize the drive. I did notice before that the drive was not showing its name in the Device Manager. It just showed something generic like &quot;Disk Drive&quot;. I currently have it unplugged so I can boot my machine without it locking up. Are these symptoms of a failing hard drive?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My other thought was that the PSU is failing or doesn't have enough power. Is this a possibility? The PSU is probably over six years old now. Most other parts have been swapped out at this point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The drive is a 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620A, and it's been working fine for about a year.

So let us explore some other options.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would consider is to use a small piece of software that is capable of locking the drive.  This can be done in software which is well evident during those times the drive won't let you eject the disk.  I have not tried to do this kind of thing specifically but I am sure this is possible if you can write a little code.  You might be able to find a small systray app for this kind of thing already off the shelf.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second suggestion I would make would be to remove the drive and inspect the eject control mechanism.  In many cases it uses a sub-miniature surface mount single pole, single throw switch like the ones used in the right and left buttons on a standard mouse. This configuration gives you two obvious options I can think of.  One is to install a small toggle switch somewhere inside the drive that can sever the trace to the eject button.  Controlling the problem electrically is great however there is a question of whether there is enough room inside the device for anything extra and also if you have the soldering/assembly skills to pull this modification off properly. A screw up with this method could render the drive a hunk of slag. An easier method would be to find the end of the plastic button for the drive eject.  Once you find the spot where the button and the switch meet, you can use some sandpaper to take off a small amount of material until the button is sufficiently resistant to being accidently activated.  Be very careful here because removing too much material will render the button permanently disabled." />

It was very simple and didn't do even 10% of what most other platforms do; but I wrote it myself because I had the time and the interest in doing so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a while I found that having to extend/modify/fix my tool every time I wanted to do something different got tiring, so I started using a self-hosted WordPress instead.  This gave me out-of-the-box functionality, a developer community which was making new things and fixing old security holes, and a theming community which let me customize my blog the way I wanted it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it happens, this turned out to be a big mistake.  The problem is that the theming community isn't really joined to the developers; so in my case I ended picking, then customizing, a theme which ended up not being compatible with (or upgraded to be compatible with) a major rev of Wordpress.  I also ended up with a couple of extensions which ended up not being compatible with the upgrade trail.  Worse, I had these features that I wanted in this old history that I could not preserve had I decided to move to the new upgrade.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it might be possible that I would port either my data or my theme to the new upgrade, in practice I'm not really that good a coder and frankly I don't have that kind of time anymore.  Besides, the thought of going through this kind of pain on a frequent basis (since that's how often WordPress updates were coming, at the time) turned my stomach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Blogging was becoming a chore, again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And while I waffled on what to do, eventually my blog got compromised by a bot of some kind and many of my posts ended up with hidden porno links in them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So down came Wordpress, along with all 850 odd posts of history in it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I looked at a bunch of options: running the 'bliki software I was using as a wiki and using the built-in 'blog functionality; upgrading to Wordpress-Current; using the Wordpress.com service; and using Blogger.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After trying Wordpress.com I decided that Blogger was the least painful option.  Why?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - it's free&#xD;&#xA; - it has a reasonable subset of features (or at least I can work around the brokeness of the features there)&#xD;&#xA; - it treats me as a &quot;user&quot;, not a sysadmin/dbadmin/webmaster&#xD;&#xA; - I'll never have to worry about &quot;security updates&quot; or any of that kind of crap&#xD;&#xA; - I'll never have to worry about incompatible themes, because I've picked and customized one of their out-of-the-box themes&#xD;&#xA; - it's Google, so it will be always available, and will be kept around forever (or at least until it isn't)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It isn't a very flexible blogging tool, and there are limits to what you can do with it.  I personally can't make the &quot;Compose Mode&quot; do what I want it to, but since it lets me edit the HTML directly I can usually get what I want displayed.  But it is simple enough that my wife can get it to do what she wants it to to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your mileage will assuredly vary." />

Case made out of a tonne of metal. I spent over 300 quid on a 1 bpp hand scanner to copy course notes (which I never read). Best of all was the RISC OS operating system, which for usability no others have got anywhere near.

Cut a window for your viewing portal, cut round holes and insert/tape dish-washing rubber gloves in the holes so that you can place your hands in the box without compromising the &quot;clean room&quot;.

Usually this will manifest itself as the laptop suddenly turning off without warning, as opposed to refusing to power on altogether (you don't say if it refuses to power on from &quot;cold&quot; i.e. not being used for a while, or not).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even if it has a thermal cut-out, you should still see power lights on the machine (a/c power connected) - it's just that it will refuse to turn on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it's not thermal, then the most likely would be either the a/c power supply or the battery.  You'll need to try combinations of running the machine just on battery, just on a/c (take the battery out completely), with battery charging etc.  You should be able to narrow it down and replace the bit that's broken - ebay would be the best bet, especially for a power adapter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;More info:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Thermal**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When my laptop's thermal protection steps in it's pretty obvious. Feel under the laptop roughly where the cpu is - in the middle towards the back - if it's a thermal issue it will be really hot to the touch. You need to promote airflow - you can try clearing the vents/grills ( a blast of compressed air or the attentions of your vacuum nozzle will do the trick). Otherwise, if you're using it on your lap, try to place it on something flat, like a tray, rather than on a cushion / pillow which may be blocking the vents.  If it does cut out, you just have to wait for it to cool - you can try closing the lid and leaving it upside down which may let some heat dissipate faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You've said that it's infact refusing to power on from cold, which means it's probably not thermal (unless your ambient temperature is &gt; 120F). If you have no battery, just A/C, you should still see the A/C light even when the machine is off.  No lights imply a dodgy power supply.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Make sure the cables on the supply (plug to transformer, transformer to laptop connector) are good with no obvious signs of damage, especially around the ends of the cable (where it joins the plug, transformer, connector) - this can flex and break over time, especially if you wind it up a lot and stuff it in a bag. Also check the power socket on the laptop - make sure the central pin isn't loose - again these can fail over time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ebay would be the best source of a power supply, especially for an older machine - you should be able to get a generic replacement: you need to check the output of the transformer and that the connector is compatible (good sellers will list what machines it fits).  If you find the pin in the power socket on the laptop itself is broken, then this is much harder to fix - you can source them from radio shack (us) / maplins (uk) but it means complete disassembly and soldering on of the new fitting - not easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

The typical failure was a little smoke and then the board wouldn't boot.

This is normal. No worries.&#xD;&#xA; - Uncheck the &quot;Use Current Directory&quot; checkbox. The &quot;Select Directory&quot; button will be enabled.&#xD;&#xA; - Click the &quot;Select Directory&quot; button and nagivate to the folder in which you placed your .csv file in the first step.&#xD;&#xA; - Click on the &quot;Options&gt;&gt;&quot; button.&#xD;&#xA; - Click on the &quot;Define Format...&quot; button.&#xD;&#xA; - In the left &quot;Tables&quot; list, select your .csv file and click on the &quot;Guess&quot; button. (This will analyse your csv file and create an appropriate field for each column in your .csv file.)&#xD;&#xA; - Go through the generated columns (F1,F2,...) in the right list, give them meaningful names and set the appropriate data type (sometimes the guessing is not always right).&#xD;&#xA; - Once everything is set up right, click &quot;OK&quot; (2 times).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point you should have a file DSN with which you can access your .csv file through ODBC. If you inspect your folder where the .csv file is placed, you'll see a schema.ini file, which contains the config you just created. When you have multiple .csv files, each one corresponds with a table and each table will have a [*filename*.csv] block in the schema.ini file in which the different columns are defined... You can also create/change that schema.ini file directly in a text editor in stead of using the GUI described above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for your extra question &quot;how to connect to this ODBC provider using a query tool&quot;:  &#xD;&#xA;I have a tool which I wrote myself long time ago which is not eligible for publication. But a quick Google search came up with [odbc-view][2], a freeware tool which does what you want.  &#xD;&#xA;I downloaded and installed the tool.  &#xD;&#xA;After starting the tool:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Click on &quot;DataSource...&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Select your File Data Source which you created previously (e.g. &quot;test&quot;).&#xD;&#xA; - In the query pane type &quot;select * from [*filename*.csv]&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Click &quot;Execute&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should see the contents of your .csv file in the lower pane now.  &#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps...

On 64 bit machines, you can reference an address in a 64 bit address-range (thus giving you 2^64 bytes of memory). On 32 bit you can only address 2^32 bytes (=4 GB).

Budgeting is actually a stress-relieving hobby for me, and I can be a bit of a control-freak when it comes to finances, so I decided to start early looking for a replacement rather than waiting until MS Money can no longer download transactions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the pros and cons of the ones I've tried in the past two weeks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**You Need A Budget Pro (YNAB)**][1] - Based on the old [envelopes system][2], YNAB has you allot money from each paycheck to a specific budget category (envelope). It encourages you to live on last money's income, and if you have trouble with overspending, that can be a great plan. Personally, I'm a big believer in the envelope concept, so that's the biggest **pro** I found. Also, it's a downloaded software, so once I've bought it (for about $50) it's mine, without forced upgrades as far as I've seen. The big **con** for me was that it does not automatically download transactions. I would have to sign on to each institution's website and manually download to the program. Also, coming from Money, I'm used to having features that YNAB doesn't offer, like the ability to store information about my accounts. **Overall**, it's forward-thinking and a good budgeting system, but will take some extra time to download transactions and isn't really a comprehensive management tool for all my financial needs. You can try it out with their free trial.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Mint**][3] - This is a free online program. The free part was a major **pro**. It also looks pretty, if that's important to you. Updating is automatic, once you've got it all set up, so that's a **pro**. Biggest **con** was very weak budgeting tools. Basically, you choose a category and tell it your limit. I imagine it yells at you when you cross the line, but doesn't seem to offer any other incentive to stay on budget. The other **con** for me was that it doesn't connect with our local credit union where we have our checking account. It seems there's now way to manually add an account at an institution that Mint doesn't connect with. A final **con** is that I don't think you can add transactions manually. So, if I just wrote a check, it won't show up in my transactions until it's been cashed, which, if I've forgotten about it when writing other checks, would be too late. **Overall**, if your accounts are all at institutions that are popular enough that Mint connects with them, and you're looking for a way to record all of your transactions without any need for a real budget, Mint is a great (free!) option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Mvelopes**][4] - Here's another online option, but this one is subscription-based. Again, we find the old envelopes system, which I think is smart, so that's a **pro** for me. It's online, so it downloads transactions automatically, but also allows you to manually add transactions, so another **pro**. The big **con** on this one is the cost. Depending on how you far ahead you choose to pay (quarterly, yearly or biannually), you're paying $7.60 to $12 per month. They do offer a free trial for 14 days (plus another 14 days offered when you try to cancel). Another **con** is that they don't provide meaningful reports. **Overall**, a good concept, but not worth the cost for me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Quicken Online**][5] - All I'll say about Quicken Online was that it's similar to Mint, but not quite as good, and since both are free, I would prefer Mint.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Quicken**][6] - I hadn't tried Quicken earlier because they don't offer a free trial, but after the last four fell short, this is where I landed. **Pro** for Quicken, as an MS Money user is that it is remarkably similar in format and options. The registers and reports are nearly identical. One frustration I'd had with Money was that it was ridiculously slow at start-up. Quicken has done very well with that so far, big **pro.** **Con** for Quicken, again as an MS Money user, is that it's budgeting is not as detailed as I would like. In the past week, it's grown on me a bit, and I'm trying to embrace a more simplified budget now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I miss the most from MS Money is the cash flow forecast. I lived by that! Quicken has something that it calls a cash flow forecast, but it is far from accurate, and simply doesn't take into consideration one-time expenses like Money did. I have yet to find in any program other than Money a cash flow forecast. If anyone stumbles across one similar to MS Money, I'd love to hear about it!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.youneedabudget.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_System&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.mint.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.mvelopes.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jsp?lid=site_banner&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://quicken.intuit.com/" />

A FAT file system for example uses a file allocation table to link file clusters together into files. The file allocation table is reserved for all the disk space from start, so it uses a certain small percentage of the total space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Disk space is either calcualted using scientific prefixes or binary prefixes. A kilybyte is 1000 bytes while a kibibyte is 1024 byte. Hard drive space is always specified using scientific prefixes, so a 1 TB disk is around 1000000000000 bytes. The operating system always shows the disk space using binary prefixes, so the disk shows up as only 931 mebibyte. To further add to the confusion, most systems still use the scientific prefixes even if they calculate the numbers using binary prefixes, so the systems says 931 MB when it really means 931 MiB.&#xD;&#xA;" />

The fact that you cannot browse without that proxy is *probably* an indication that you are actually sending ALL traffic through the VPN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When all traffic is sent through the VPN, then even &quot;normal&quot; internet access (like web browsing or maybe even sending and fetching email) is routed through the remote VPN server. This might be useful when traveling in some countries that filter certain web sites. And as the VPN connection is encrypted, using it for all traffic might also be more secure when not knowing who can listen in to the network that is used to connect to the internet (hotel, internet café, Starbucks WiFi, ...). Above all: it might be a bit more secure as any &quot;hacker&quot; (trojan horse, spyware) who has gained access to your workstation will be disconnected as soon as the VPN connection is started, thus not exposing the server's network to that security threat. It depends on the set up of the VPN server whether or not such unwanted trojan traffic could be re-established through the VPN server. To avoid security issues, internet access through the VPN server is often simply disallowed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, sending all traffic through VPN may very well be preferred in many occasions, and often one should NOT try to bypass any limitations as set up by the administrator. But I wonder if that is true while connecting to a customer's VPN server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say: if the proxy is hosted by your customer, then use it. If not: try to live with the limitations and keep the VPN connection alive as short as possible. If that's not an option: disable sending all traffic through the VPN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Windows by default sends all traffic over VPN, but a Mac does not. (On a Mac, the Advanced button shows an option &quot;Send all traffic over VPN connection&quot;. Windows has a simular option, but I can't tell you where to find that exactly.)" />

Yesterday, however, I upgraded nVidia's video card driver, and ever since, I cannot get the DVI one back to 1600 x 1200.  When I add the custom resolution in nVidia's control panel, if I set either the width or the height to even a single pixel more than 1280 x 1024, nothing changes when I click Test (the monitor doesn't even flash black, although after 15 seconds, it flashes black and doesn't change).

My impressions are based on it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why not:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - It costs more. Not just the machine, but the adapters, the cables, keyboards, mice, software utilities etc. I felt ripped off when I ordered it.&#xD;&#xA; - The OS is different in many big conceptual ways like the lack of drive letters and also small annoying ways, like having a different keyboard mapping, how windows are maximised, keyboard shortcuts etc. You'll spend a lot of time getting up to speed if you have only ever used windows before, which might be frustrating.&#xD;&#xA; - There is a lot less software available, not just games. Even less of it is free.&#xD;&#xA; - Read-only NTFS support. I had to reformat a few external drives which is a bit of a hassle.&#xD;&#xA; - Only 2 usb ports and no eSata.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - The high price is reflected in the overall feel of the product. You are always aware that you are using a luxury computer. If it holds up over time I have to say I feel it's worth the high price and I don't feel ripped off any more! :)&#xD;&#xA; - The OS is different in many good ways as well. Many &quot;Oh that's cool&quot; moments. If you enjoy messing about with operating systems you'll have fun!&#xD;&#xA; - Free virtualization makes it easy to do windows-based work. I already used virtual machines for most of my work even before switching, so I had no issues here.&#xD;&#xA; - You can develop for the iphone on it. &#xD;&#xA; - You can run windows (or linux, bsd etc) natively on it, so you're not taking a risk anymore. Worst case is that you overspent for a high-end &quot;normal&quot; PC.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall I am very happy with my &quot;switch&quot; so far. &#xD;&#xA;" />

The fact that you cannot browse without that proxy is *probably* an indication that you are actually sending ALL traffic through the VPN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When all traffic is sent through the VPN, then even &quot;normal&quot; internet access (like web browsing or maybe even sending and fetching email) is routed through the remote VPN server. This might be useful when traveling in some countries that filter certain web sites. And as the VPN connection is encrypted, using it for all traffic might also be more secure when not knowing who can listen in to the network that is used to connect to the internet (hotel, internet café, Starbucks WiFi, ...). Above all: it might be a bit more secure as any &quot;hacker&quot; (trojan horse, spyware) who has gained access to your workstation will be disconnected as soon as the VPN connection is started, thus not exposing the server's network to that security threat. It depends on the set up of the VPN server whether or not such unwanted trojan traffic could be re-established through the VPN server. To avoid security issues, internet access through the VPN server is often simply disallowed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, sending all traffic through VPN may very well be preferred in many occasions, and often one should NOT try to bypass any limitations as set up by the administrator. But I wonder if that is true while connecting to a customer's VPN server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Just keep the VPN connection alive as short as possible, and while connected do not use the connection for anything else. (Browsing, email, instant messaging, ...; do you want your customer to be able to track your traffic?) &#xD;&#xA;- If you really need to use other resources on the internet, then your customer's policy might tell you to use their proxy. If so, then indeed you have no choice. (I assume that proxy is theirs, for otherwise you wouldn't be able to use it without disabling sending all traffic through the VPN to start with, unless it has some local address that might not be routed through the VPN connection? If it is not theirs, but just a way to avoid blocked ports, then think twice...)&#xD;&#xA;- If the customer is OK with not using their proxy, and if you really need the browser, and if you're sure your workstation is secure: disable sending all traffic through the VPN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Windows by default sends all traffic over VPN, but a Mac does not. (On a Mac, the Advanced button shows an option &quot;Send all traffic over VPN connection&quot;. Windows has a simular option, but I can't tell you where to find that exactly.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: changed the recommendation." />

In Sleep mode, the power supply to non-essential and non-critical components is withheld, and most system operations are shutdown and stopped. All data in physical memory (RAM module) is still kept in internal memory, and the whole system is placed in stand-by mode, which can be woken up and used almost immediately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In Sleep mode, the power load reduces considerably, saving a lot of energy. However, the power must not be cut off, and must be continued to supply to the computer. Once out of power, the system will have to start again just like a newly-booted computer just started from the power-off state.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Hibernate**, or S4 in ACPI, meanwhile will save the data in physical memory to the hard disk drive (HDD), and then power off the computer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In Hibernate mode, a file named hiberfil.sys which has the same file size as the amount of system memory will be created on the local disk. When the user wants to use the computer again, the computer will boot up and load back the state at the last hibernation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The advantage of Hibernation mode is that no power is wasted for maximum saving of power. In Hibernation dormancy, no electricity is consumed by system. Besides, restore from Hibernate is generally faster than a computer reboot, and is totally different from fresh start, as users can return to the exact state of last hibernation with all programs running and documents opened intact, instead of an empty desktop. The disadvantage of Hibernate is that after a period of time, there may have fragmentation of the hiberation file. Users will need to defragment the volume that stores the hibernation file frequently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

How much development do you do for a windows platform.&#xD;&#xA;    - If the answer is &quot;I'll use it **all the time** for windows development&quot;, I think you will be happier with a PC.  The experience of Windows on a Mac can be frustrating from time to time, in my experience.&#xD;&#xA;    - If the answer is &quot;Once a week I may tweak something from home&quot;, then a mac is a viable alternative with [Boot Camp][1] and/or [VMWare Fusion][2] / [Virtual Box][3].&#xD;&#xA; 2. How attached are you to your OS?  Are you going to freak out when you can't find Notepad, or launch Solitaire (though [World Of Solitaire][4] rocks socks).  If you are willing to buckle down and look for alternative software, you'll find it.  A lot of people aren't willing to do this, and as soon as they can't find Outlook Express or &quot;The Internet&quot; (Internet Explorer), freak out and shut down.  This attitude makes the experience very frustrating for first time users, and a lot of the time they never get past that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another note in regards to a lot of other answers:  If you are comparing the price of a Mac to another machine, **be sure and compare Apples-to-Apples** (no pun intended).  If you are purchasing a component system and building it, this is not the same as a pre-configured machine, and pricing will be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you compare a [Mac Pro][5] to an equivalent [workstation from Dell][6], however, you will probably find that they are within 5% of the price.  Keep in mind that manufacturers vary on which version of the Xeon is in a machine, what speed the hard drive is, and what kind of interface they use, etc.  My Mac Pro desktop (~20 days old) came out to within 45$ of an equivalent Dell box (2x 2.66ghz Nehalem quad-cores, 8gb RAM, 2tb HDD, DVD Burning drive, and a rocking Nvidia card).  And that was with my ~10% corporate discount from Dell.  And let us be honest, the Mac Pro's case is dead sexy.  `=-]`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/2 cents&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/compatibility.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.virtualbox.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://worldofsolitaire.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.apple.com/macpro/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/desktops/precndt/ct.aspx?refid=precndt&amp;s=bsd&amp;cs=04" />

My point is that I find that ever since the release of Vista I hardly ever find it necessary anymore to tweak misbehaving apps into working without admin rights. I couldn't say for sure but I'd wager that I didn't have to tweak permissions for any up-to-date app in well over a year - and I do try and install quite a lot of stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apps that simply won't work without admin-rights always were one of the strongest arguments against going the non-admin route and back in those days I surely felt sympathetic but those apps are clearly becoming a thing of the past.

That is, even though the whole process is the same for each wafer run of devices, each individual part comes out somewhat different. Not only do some work and some not work, but also some will ultimately work to different levels of performance based on voltage, temperature, power usage, clock speed, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a few wafer runs of a given type of part are made, the semiconductor vendor will have a notion of what their yield curve looks like to various sets of test conditions. They then use a statistical analysis to define a set of performance bins that each individual part complies with.....in effect the slow and the faster speed bins. For parts made in large volumes, there are usually several different possible bins and many possible combinations of test conditions the chips are labeled to comply with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So for memory parts, a given device may comply under all test conditions at 600Mhz, but not at 700Mhz, so the part goes into the 600Mhz bin. A part that complies with everything at 700Mhz, but not at 800Mhz, goes in the 700Mhz bin, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This all conforms to a distribution curve and you can see for progressively higher speed bins, less and less parts are going to comply with the tighter specs of the higher speeds. In effect, the higher speed parts are more scarce, therefore they can command a higher price for the people that really want them. Conversely, you can see that they can sell slower parts a lower cost because they are in effect easier to make.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Summarizing***: In the end, this comes down to the variability in the manufacturing process, statistics and some basic economics of supply and demand.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Text="I'm using the motherboard's sound in my HTPC, with optical output to my receiver; it does 7.1, DTS, AC3, and other three letter acronyms. I also game on the system, and have no noticeable performance impact from not having a &quot;dedicated sound processor&quot; or whatever the marketing folks are saying these days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I find that sound perception is subjective, and there's more variables in the equation than many other system components. Various hardware can affect how something sounds, and not everyone can even tell there's differences. Some people (like me) cannot detect certain kinds of white noise or interference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The speakers and/or headphones you use can have more impact on your sound experience than whether you use onboard sound or a standalone sound card. If you're hooked up to a receiver (like I am), that will affect sound output. Some receivers will do additional processing (for good or bad) on the signal they receive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't install a sound card in my system to save on money - I have a $500 receiver after all - I did so because its an additional component with another set of drivers, and possible area for conflict.

For a long time this worked great, but recently the machine has had trouble entering hibernation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes when I press my power button (configured to hibernate), the box will start the procedure for hibernating (i.e., go to the blue &quot;Windows XP&quot; background logo and display a message about entering hibernation), but before displaying the usual blue-on-black hibernation progress bar it will drop back to the desktop. No error messages appear, on screen or in the system log. The only record of unsuccessful hibernation attempts in the system log, which proudly proclaims that &quot;The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service entered the running state.&quot; once per failed hibernation attempt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is almost certainly resource related: if I then close one or more applications which are running, and repeat the exact same process, the machine will hibernate perfectly. There does not appear to be a reliable high-water mark for virtual or physical memory use, below which the machine is guaranteed to hibernate; it's different every time (though typically, below about 1.1&amp;ndash;1.4 GB memory usage seems to be where hibernate succeeds most often). Memory may not even be the relevant resource; as far as I know, it could also be handles or sockets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This behavior is relatively recent: it has only started in the last few months; before then, I could hibernate reliably no matter what the current resource use of the system.

Take a look at the [`bash` man page][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bash has many facilities to search and access interactive command history.  The most basic of which is the `history` builtin.  Typing just:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ history&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Will print a list of commands along with a numeric index, like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ history&#xD;&#xA;1 clear&#xD;&#xA;2 ls -al&#xD;&#xA;3 vim ~/somefile.txt&#xD;&#xA;4 history&#xD;&#xA;$&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can then execute any of these commands using their numeric index by prefacing the index with a single `!`, as [Mitch][2] pointed out:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ !1&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Will execute the `clear` command.  The history builtin has many features itself, you can see more in the `bash` and `history` man pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also specify relative negative offsets when using the `!` designator, so using our history list above, if we wanted to execute `vim` again, we could do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ !-2&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which is basically telling bash to execute the command you ran &quot;two commands ago.&quot;  To run the previous command in the history list, we can just use `!!` (which is just shorthand for `!-1`).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The `!` designator doesn't limit you to numerically specifying which command to run . [hayalci][3] showed that you can instruct `bash` to execute a command based on either the text it begins with (using `!`) or text within the command itself (using `!?`).  Again, using our example history list above, if we wanted to execute `clear` again, all we need to do is type:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ !cl&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and press &lt;kbd&gt;Enter&lt;/kbd&gt;.  And what about `vim`?  That is as simple as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ !?some&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most important point from [hayalci][4]'s response is the call to the `shopt` builtin:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;$ shopt -s histverify&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will enable history verification so that commands that are matched by the `!`, `!!`, and `!?` designators are not blindly executed, but instead filled in on the command line so you can ensure they will do no evil before executing them.  This is even more important when you are executing commands as the root user.  This option can be set in your `.bash_profile` startup file so that it is set whenever you log in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As has already been pointed out, all of this information can be gleaned from the [`bash` man page][5].  For the !, !!, and !? designators, take a look at Section [9.3 History Expansion][6].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Bindable-Readline-Commands&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/users/2681/mitch&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://superuser.com/users/770/hayalci&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://superuser.com/users/770/hayalci&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#History-Interaction" />

You can also view your bookmarks on the site by logging into your account. You can also choose if you want, to synchronize usernames and passwords.

Recently my aunt-in-law has started to seriously use her computer **to write long essays and articles**, but she's continually **stumped by Word 2003**. There's just so much cr*p in there that she never ever uses, but continues to accidentally invoke or run up against. I always thought Word was a half-way decent application (because I rarely ever use it), but getting to see the kinds of problems she has I'm starting to think that it's possibly one of the worst word processors out there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what I'm looking for is a nice, simple, clean word processor that I can install for her as a replacement. There are some requirements, but not many:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Needs to have a Japanese UI available&#xD;&#xA;- Needs features particular to Japanese text (I actually think it's easy to best Word here)&#xD;&#xA; - page needs to be lay-outable by character column and row count&#xD;&#xA; - vertical input would be nice&#xD;&#xA; - [Ruby](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character) support would be nice, but not a must&#xD;&#xA;- Needs to run on Windows XP&#xD;&#xA; - Addendum: If there's an awesome Japanese Linux word processor I'd probably be happy to replace her XP install&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think a more recent version of Word with the Ribbon UI would be a good start, but I'm really looking for something that does *less*, that doesn't have many buttons at all. Any suggestions welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;UPDATE: To make it clear: Yes, this is intended for a Japanese person. This Japanese person is still an old lady and barely knows anything about computers, so the interface needs to be simple. Too much technical jargon or &quot;meta-functionality&quot; (e.g. macros, LaTeX/GUI abstractions, templates), not good and unnecessary." />

Linux was installed on many university computers, and I got interested in it. I always liked to code (on the C64) in basic and assembler, but I knew nothing about other languages. I soon discovered a chat engine called NUTS, and the idea of becoming proficient in C appealed me, so I started hacking the code. To do so, I needed a Unix at home, so I bought a Slackware 3.4 and installed it on my Pentium 166.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I then continued using it for many years, reason being that I had pleasure in learning new things and the openness of information about the internals. It was a great learning platform. I then moved to osx because I enjoy the power of Unix with the beauty and efficiency of its interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am interested in your answer because I believe that the panorama has changed somehow. Although I still guess to find many &quot;hackers&quot; interested in Linux for the sake of knowledge, I also believe that there are other reasons (work, friends, bought a netbook).&#xD;&#xA;" />

Considering that everything remains the same (clock speeds, for example), the memory maximum theoretical transfer rate is doubled by the use of this technique.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Memories based on DDR (Double Data Rate) technology such as DDR-SDRAM, DDR2-SDRAM and DDR3-SDRAM transfer two data per clock cycle. Because of that they achieve double the transfer rate compared to traditional memories (such as the original SDRAM) running at the same clock rate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;For **dual-channel technology to work you need to have an even number of memory modules** on your system (assuming that your AMD CPU or Intel chipset support this technology, of course). If you install just one module this technique won’t work because memory will still be accessed 64 bits per cycle. In other words, dual channel works by accessing two memory modules in parallel, i.e. at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**Because the two modules are accessed at the same time, they must be identical (same capacity, same timings and same clock rate)**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, this is described with more words in the article,  &#xD;&#xA;If you have a motherboard with 4 slots, and you own two similar memory sticks compatible with your board, **it is critical to place them on the correct two slots** (usually alternate slots).

Recently my aunt-in-law has started to seriously use her computer **to write long essays and articles**, but she's continually **stumped by Word 2003**. There's just so much cr*p in there that she never ever uses, but continues to accidentally invoke or run up against. I always thought Word was a half-way decent application (because I rarely ever use it), but getting to see the kinds of problems she has I'm starting to think that it's possibly one of the worst word processors out there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what I'm looking for is a nice, simple, clean word processor that I can install for her as a replacement. There are some requirements, but not many:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Needs to have a Japanese UI available&#xD;&#xA;- Needs features particular to Japanese text (I actually think it's easy to best Word here)&#xD;&#xA; - page needs to be lay-outable by character column and row count&#xD;&#xA; - vertical input would be nice&#xD;&#xA; - [Ruby](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_character) support would be nice, but not a must&#xD;&#xA;- Needs to run on Windows XP&#xD;&#xA; - Addendum: If there's an awesome Japanese Linux word processor I'd probably be happy to replace her XP install&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think a more recent version of Word with the Ribbon UI would be a good start, but I'm really looking for something that does *less*, that doesn't have many buttons at all. Any suggestions welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;UPDATE: To make it clear: Yes, this is intended for a Japanese person. This Japanese person is an old lady who's very alert but barely knows anything about computers, so the interface needs to be dead simple. Too much technical jargon or &quot;meta-functionality&quot; (e.g. macros, LaTeX/GUI abstractions, templates) is not good and unnecessary. Somehow she managed to invoke the &quot;Record macro&quot; mode, was therefore unable to click on the text and had no idea how to get out of this mode. If the stupid Office assistant pops up with a modal message that needs confirmation she ignores it and doesn't know why she can't interact with the application window any longer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm looking for an app that does away with all that crap, offers only a minimal blank space to write, yet still offers (at least some of) the features she needs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*You'd think this shouldn't be so hard... ;-)*" />

To this end, I've been trying to find a program that will let me play the music on my iPhone through the hardware and software on the host computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I recall correctly this was possible a few years ago with the iPod - Linux software like Rhythmbox and Banshee was able to read the music off an iPod and play it through the speakers. I even thought I recalled iTunes itself being capable of this at one time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, however, iTunes greys out/disables the music on my iPhone and I can't find any documented support for the iPhone in any other music program. Is this really no longer possible? Am I limited to using the headphone jack to get music to play?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(note: I am using an iPhone 3G with the 3.0 software. I am attempting to play music on computers *other* than the one I sync with)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**edit:** Several replies mention that I should check &quot;manually manage&quot; to do this. I just tried this on a computer that I don't sync my iPhone to and it asked me to erase and sync, which is obviously something I don't want to do." />

Wifi.com is compatible with any WiFi access point or router.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Enables you to grant access to your secure home or work wifi networks simply by sending an invitation to your friends and colleagues through the Wifi.com manager. No more remembering WEP keys or updating your friends with new keys - the Wifi.com manager does this automatically. You can add friends from your outlook contacts, hotmail, Gmail, and dozens of other programs with a few quick clicks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;We recommend you share your WiFi connection only with the people you trust. Wifi.com allows you to invite your friends and colleagues to use your secure wifi network without sharing your WEP key.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**You have to work off their site for this**, though...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Go to **wifi.com** and **log into your account** and you will **have the ability to add or remove people from accessing your wifi network.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is their **finance angle**...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;More and more wifi hotspots are available free of charge, and we believe this trend will continue. However, there are may be times there isn't a free wifi hotspot available. And, if you must pay for a wifi connection then we feel it should be as affordable and easy to access as possible. Wifi.com lets you connect to premium wifi networks on a per minute basis just like a pre-paid phone card lets you make long distance calls. We have preloaded your account with a $5 credit so you can try this functionality next time you are in an airport or hotel. Through our strategic partnership with Whisher, you can recharge your premium wifi minutes account any time your account runs low.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Whisher was acquired by wifi.com in Q1 2009. We are utilizing many of their outstanding technologies and added many of our own to create what we hope you will feel is a superior WiFi experience. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.wifi.com/faq.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.wifi.com/how_why.html" />

I stayed with Linux because it's still an excellent OS to build a web server on, and because the free availability of dev tools makes it a good platform to perform software development on. I generally code for non-windows anyway, since I do web development things most of the time, so it's not like I particularly need the bloated .NET IDE, although that doesn't mean I think it's bad or anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like watching the progress of Linux over time really. I'm amazed by how easy the Ubuntu distribution is to use, and I'm purely fascinated with OS development in general. Call me weird, but the bug reports and issues are interesting to me, and it's great to see how things are getting fixed and why they were a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If linux were a good platform for gaming, I'd probably have moved away from it entirely. As it stands, Wine isn't perfect and there are a lot of tools (namely the Adobe suite) that I simply need for my job that I can't run on my linux box yet, so I still have Windows installed and I still use it very often. Still, the amount of freedom Linux offers you over a windows installation is reason for anyone to take the plunge." />

The computer was ordered with 4GB of RAM, but came in 4 1GB sticks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2 years later I am actually finding that my computer does not have enough RAM (I have some analysis programs that will chew up any bit of RAM/CPU power you throw at them) thus I need to upgrade. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the problem:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a bit of digging around to find out what type of RAM my computer supports, i found out that my computer is supposedly already maxed out in terms of RAM. I have 4 RAM slots and the manufacturer (Dell) says that the system can only accept 1GB RAM sticks. All other sources on the internet also say that my desktop is only capable of handling 1GB RAM sticks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I ran Lavalys' EVEREST program and it says my computer is capable of handling up to 2GB RAM sticks, for a maximum of 8GB total.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have confirmed that my computer does indeed handle 2GB sticks. Unfortunately I only had 1 stick on hand and was only able to test the computer in single channel mode. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is, is my computer actually capable of handling the full 8GB of RAM despite what the manufacturer, and pretty much everyone else says? Should I go ahead and spend that $100 on the RAM?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A side question, I hear about RAM requiring about 15W of power per 1GB, should i be worried about my system not having enough power if i upgrade? I run a Q6600 (TPD 140W), 1 hard drive, an 8800GTX (peak 290W) and 1 DVD burner. Nvidia recommends at least a 500W power supply when running an 8800GTX, but Dell cheaped out on me with a 450W, will the extra 4GB of ram (possibly adding an extra 60W of load) cause me any problems?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks in advance, &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; -Faken&#xD;&#xA;" />

For this, you'll need to get another drive the same size as your current one. Sometimes on home machines, only 2 of the ports on the MB can be used for RAID, so you need to make sure you plug in the correct one. As long as RAID is enabled in your BIOS, you should get an option to manage your RAID on boot, it's often on F8 (after they give you the option to go into setup). You'll then have to create a RAID1 array, with your two disks in. You need to be VERY careful here, if you have the disks the wrong way round, you will end up with two blank disks. Triple check before you do this, different makes of drives makes it a bit easier. Because it's going to be crappy software RAID, you might have to install their drivers for Windows, although they may already be there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To be honest, RAID isn't your best option here. Disk failure is actually pretty rare, and any corruption/deletion of a file won't be heled by RAID. You might want to look at a service like [Carbonite][1], which gives you automatic, offsite backups, for $55 a year, which will give you protection against deleting a file, or losing both your machine and your backups, in a fire, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://carbonite.com" />

It seems to indicate that CPU takes a bigger performance hit than the hard disk:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; For me the critical question was what kind of overhead does encrypting your hard drive have on the performance of the system as a whole.  To try and measure this I used HDTune to measure drive performance before and after encryption with TrueCrypt.  Before encryption I saw an average transfer rate of about 47MB/s with my laptop's SATA drive in AHCI mode.  Max was about 59.9MB/s and a burst rate of 85.8MB/s with an average CPU usage of 4.1% throughout the test.HD Performance before Truecrypt&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;After encryption I saw an average transfer rate of 46.9MB/s, peak of 59.7 MB/s, burst of 62.9MB/s and an average CPU usage of 26.7%.  I didn't expect it, but that's where I saw my hit.  It makes sense when you think about it - the encryption/decryption of the data generally doesn't result in reading/writing significantly more data (encryption and decryption is done at the block or sector level not at the entire file level) so you don't see substantially reduced disk performance. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Tom's Hardware also has a good article, &quot;[Protect Your Data With Encryption][2]&quot;, that details the performance implications of using TrueCrypt on a complete volume.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, see Scott Gu's blog post regarding the *speed* of the physical hard disk (i.e. the RPM) ([Tip/Trick: Hard Drive Speed and Visual Studio Performance][3]) which can make a big difference to *Visual Studio's* performance whether encryption is employed or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://insidedanshead.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!25C1077A9D839288!193.entry&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/truecrypt-security-hdd,2125.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/11/01/tip-trick-hard-drive-speed-and-visual-studio-performance.aspx" />

You can reformat your system drive any time without losing your documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a fast system drive you can't find anything better than Intel's or OCZ's SSD, but they might be too expensive.

It it a useful layer of defence though. As an experienced user, I don't run anti-virus, but I do use UAC as that extra bit of protection. On Vista, I don't find it intrustive, especially coupled with [Norton's UAC Tool][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is *similar* to the Unix tradition of running as a non-privileged user, although not quite the same. When running as non-root in Unix, you typically need to supply the admin password to run privileged commands, wheras with UAC you only need to click an 'allow' button. This is because on Vista/7 the default user is setup as an administrator. If you setup your user as a non-admin, then you'll need to supply an admin password because only administrators can OK a UAC prompt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here's another scenario where it is extremely useful: when you're admin of a family PC (or similar) which is used by several people.** Set yourself up as an admin, and everyone else as limited users, but don't give them the admin password. This way, only you can do the dangerous stuff that is often the cause of many a family PC failure. You could, of course, do something like this prior to Vista/UAC, but the simple fact is that UAC makes managing this scenario *much* easier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note, I should add, I don't run *real-time* anti-virus, but I do run regular scans with various tools and anti-spyware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control#Tasks_that_trigger_a_UAC_prompt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.symantec.com/norton/theme.jsp?themeid=labs_uac&amp;header=0&amp;depthpath=0" />

Try being helpful with a focus on teaching wider ideas or principles. You know what they say about &quot;Give a man a fish...&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2 - Know where to draw the line. This will be different for different people. I tend to be more helpful toward people that are nice (see 1). Most people know when they are crossing the line or asking too much of your time. Don't be afraid to say no or give clear reasons why you are not going to help - no point hiding behind excuses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3 - Be aware of other solutions that may help the person in the long run so they aren't dependent on you/others. For some people it could be an evening-class on basic computer literacy, a club or a book. For some it might be &quot;just get a mac&quot;. For some people it might be &quot;just get a mac, with their phone support/training plan&quot; etc. Obviously other platforms may be equally right for the user (i.e. simple linux netbook).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4 - Don't make things worse. I think secretly some geeks/superusers get off on being a 'know-it-all'. They like the power/prestige associated over having skills others don't. Equally I have seen situations where a 'friend who knows about computers' has screwed up someones system or workflow because they didn't really know what they were doing. Be aware of your limitations and be able to admit them. No shame in saying &quot;I don't know, maybe this needs to be looked at by a professional&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;dp" />

Having lived with it as my primary means of consuming media for several months I would not do it the same way again. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many reasons for this, mostly though it is a pain to use. There are things for which the version of Windows Media Center on Vista are not well suited such as watching high definition movies or watching online media (i.e. Hulu, Netflix). I tried several of the free downloadable Media Center alternatives and found them all lacking in one way or another. It took several weeks of tweaking before my wife could watch a movie on the damn thing and she has a PhD. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there are the trade offs between aesthetics (sight and sound in this case) and consumption of electricity. Reading and processing large data streams would cripple the machine and I would occasionally get lag watching Blu Rays even with it offloading to the GPU. Then there was an issue with the ATi chipset not playing well over HDMI with my TV (brand new Samsung LCD) or my reciever (also brand new and HDMI compatible). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, this setup is not even expandable. If I want to watch at another TV in the house, I need a whole other PC. If my original drive starts to get too full, I cannot add another drive to this system directly without upgrading the power supply and getting a larger case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead I would have gone whole hog on a really powerful machine (dual or quad core at 2.8ghz or higher, 4 gigs or more of RAM, several fast hard drives, multiple network cards) with a cheap and ugly case that would sit in my basement. Then, at each TV I wanted to have access to the media server from I would put an AppleTV. With a powerful central server and a glorified, wifi and HD enabled mini-box setup I can expand to additional TVs for $250 each and can continue to expand the storage of my server without buying a new case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Having lived with it as my primary means of consuming media for several months I would not do it the same way again. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many reasons for this, mostly though it is a pain to use. There are things for which the version of Windows Media Center on Vista are not well suited such as watching high definition movies or watching online media (i.e. Hulu, Netflix). I tried several of the free downloadable Media Center alternatives and found them all lacking in one way or another. It took several weeks of tweaking before my wife could watch a movie on the damn thing and she has a PhD. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there are the trade offs between processing power and aesthetics (sight and sound in this case) as well as consumption of electricity. Reading and processing large data streams would cripple the machine and I would occasionally get lag watching Blu Rays even with it offloading to the GPU. Then there was an issue with the ATi chipset not playing well over HDMI with my TV (brand new Samsung LCD) or my reciever (also brand new and HDMI compatible). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, this setup is not even expandable. If I want to watch at another TV in the house, I need a whole other PC. If my original drive starts to get too full, I cannot add another drive to this system directly without upgrading the power supply and getting a larger case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead I would have gone whole hog on a really powerful machine (dual or quad core at 2.8ghz or higher, 4 gigs or more of RAM, several fast hard drives, multiple network cards) with a cheap and ugly case that would sit in my basement. Then, at each TV I wanted to have access to the media server from I would put an AppleTV. With a powerful central server and a glorified, wifi and HD enabled mini-box setup I can expand to additional TVs for $250 each and can continue to expand the storage of my server without buying a new case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

This will be different for different people. I tend to be more helpful toward people that are nice (see 1). Most people know when they are crossing the line or asking too much of your time. Don't be afraid to say no or give clear reasons why you are not going to help - no point hiding behind excuses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3 - Be aware of other solutions that may help the person in the long run so they aren't dependent on you/others.

This often causes unknown faults to surface on the remaining disks, which trashes your data.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, consider the options carefully and don't forget that despite RAID's excellent advantages, they should not be considered substitute for a permanent backup.  Consider adding an external drive or two, and regularly copy the most critical files off the raid, and into a safe location." />

For many people&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this creates clutter, and it also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wastes space.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Because of this, beginning August 1st,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; our new policy will be to keep 30 days&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of undo history. However, if you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; prefer, you can choose to have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unlimited undo history at no cost.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Please choose one of the following links:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want unlimited undo history &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; or &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 30 days of undo history is all I need&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; iPhone App Almost Here! In addition to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this change to undo history, in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; near future we'll be releasing our&#xD;&#xA;&gt; free iPhone app that will allow you to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; access your Dropbox on the go, view&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your files, save them to your phone,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and even take photos that sync&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instantly to your Dropbox!&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Performance Improvements and LAN Sync&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In addition to the iPhone app, we're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also finishing up a new version of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Dropbox desktop software that features&#xD;&#xA;&gt; numerous performance improvements and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; our new &quot;LAN sync&quot; feature. LAN sync&#xD;&#xA;&gt; knows when Dropboxes are on the same&#xD;&#xA;&gt; network and will automatically&#xD;&#xA;&gt; exchange files directly between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computers instead of downloading them&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from our servers - this makes sharing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; large files in an office environment&#xD;&#xA;&gt; much faster than was previously&#xD;&#xA;&gt; possible.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; We've received great feedback from&#xD;&#xA;&gt; many of our users and are working on a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; lot of the stuff you've been asking&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for. Stay tuned and happy Dropboxing!&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thanks for using Dropbox!&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - The Dropbox Team&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's no indication from the e-mail that this option is only for paying members, but there's no indication that it isn't either. FWIW, I went with the paid option and have never looked back. Uses for DropBox are numerous - to include version control for my personal projects - and you'll be surprised how fast you run through 2GB... I'll stop the Ad now. :)" />

I have Windows 7 running on my computer and everything is perfect. There's only one little problem. Sometimes when I leave my computer, I come back and my monitor is turned off or asleep, whichever it is. This is fine, I set it to do this. However, after turning on the monitor and moving the mouse around, the mouse cursor freezes; both the keyboard and mouse don't respond to anything, for example the keyboard's windows key won't bring up the start menu and moving the mouse around does not move the cursor around on the screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I figured this was a power savings setting problem, so I went into Control Panel &gt; Power Options.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I only have **Turn off Display** =&gt; **30 minutes** and **Put Computer to Sleep** =&gt; **Never**. Of course, I went into the advanced power settings to look through there. I put Never to turn off the hard disk, Sleep after never, and that's about it. Nothing else there looks like it might be causing this. I went into the device manager and checked the mouse and the keyboard, and they both have the **Allow this device to wake the computer** checked for both of them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps this other bit of information might help: Sometimes I VNC into my PC using my MacBook, and sometimes, as soon as it shows me the desktop, the same thing happens.

I have Windows 7 running on my computer and everything is perfect. There's only one little problem. Sometimes when I leave my computer, I come back and my monitor is turned off or asleep, whichever it is. This is fine, I set it to do this. However, after turning on the monitor and moving the mouse around, the mouse cursor freezes; both the keyboard and mouse don't respond to anything, for example the keyboard's windows key won't bring up the start menu and moving the mouse around does not move the cursor around on the screen. I have to wait about a minute or two before things start working again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I figured this was a power savings setting problem, so I went into Control Panel &gt; Power Options.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I only have **Turn off Display** =&gt; **30 minutes** and **Put Computer to Sleep** =&gt; **Never**. Of course, I went into the advanced power settings to look through there. I put Never to turn off the hard disk, Sleep after never, and that's about it. Nothing else there looks like it might be causing this. I went into the device manager and checked the mouse and the keyboard, and they both have the **Allow this device to wake the computer** checked for both of them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps this other bit of information might help: Sometimes I VNC into my PC using my MacBook, and sometimes, as soon as it shows me the desktop, the same thing happens. The mouse won't move and VNC won't register any events on the server (*Which is my PC of course*). I close the client (*And I know it has nothing to do with the client*), then immediately restart it and try to connect.

To this end, I've been trying to find a program that will let me play the music on my iPhone through the hardware and software on the host computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I recall correctly this was possible a few years ago with the iPod - Linux software like Rhythmbox and Banshee was able to read the music off an iPod and play it through the speakers. I even thought I recalled iTunes itself being capable of this at one time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, however, iTunes greys out/disables the music on my iPhone and I can't find any documented support for the iPhone in any other music program. Is this really no longer possible? Am I limited to using the headphone jack to get music to play?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(note: I am using an iPhone 3G with the 3.0 software. I am attempting to play music on computers *other* than the one I sync with)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Several replies mention that I should check &quot;manually manage&quot; to do this. I just tried this on a computer that I don't sync my iPhone to and it asked me to erase and sync, which is obviously something I don't want to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**update:** OK, I checked the &quot;Manually manage music and videos&quot; box on a computer that I didn't sync to (now known as &quot;Computer A&quot;), and it told me that I needed to erase &amp; sync to cause the changes to have effect, so I did. At this point I'm guessing that my iPhone thinks that it's syncing with that computer. I copied over a few songs using the autofill feature. At this point, Computer A sees the maybe 10 or so songs I've copied using autofill.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I then plug my iPhone into my Macbook (&quot;Computer B&quot;) which I've been syncing with. At this point, I'm pretty sure that it still thought that all my synced content was still on my iPhone. The &quot;manually manage music and videos&quot; checkbox isn't checked, so I check it and go through a similar process where iTunes erases the synced content and I copy over a playlist. At this point, there's no trace of the songs that I copied over from Computer A.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I plug my iPhone into Computer A - in the Music section are the handful of songs that I had copied over earlier, greyed out and unplayable. To make sure that this wasn't some sort of caching issue, I plugged my iPhone into my sister's Macbook (&quot;Computer C&quot;) and it lists the same few, greyed out songs that I had copied over from Computer A.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plugging into Computer B doesn't reveal these songs at all, only the songs that *it* copied over (these are playable).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - This inconsistent behavior is driving me insane. Why would my iPhone report two versions of its contents to different computers?&#xD;&#xA; - Is there a way to get a computer to completely forget about an iPhone and just resync everything to get everything into a consistent state?&#xD;&#xA; - Even if I get the phone into a consistent state, I still can't play the files on my phone anywhere but the computer I sync with, which was my original goal.

To this end, I've been trying to find a program that will let me play the music on my iPhone through the hardware and software on the host computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I recall correctly this was possible a few years ago with the iPod - Linux software like Rhythmbox and Banshee was able to read the music off an iPod and play it through the speakers. I even thought I recalled iTunes itself being capable of this at one time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, however, iTunes greys out/disables the music on my iPhone and I can't find any documented support for the iPhone in any other music program. Is this really no longer possible? Am I limited to using the headphone jack to get music to play?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(note: I am using an iPhone 3G with the 3.0 software. I am attempting to play music on computers *other* than the one I sync with)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Several replies mention that I should check &quot;manually manage&quot; to do this. I just tried this on a computer that I don't sync my iPhone to and it asked me to erase and sync, which is obviously something I don't want to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**update:** OK, I checked the &quot;Manually manage music and videos&quot; box on a computer that I didn't sync to (now known as &quot;Computer A&quot;), and it told me that I needed to erase &amp; sync to cause the changes to have effect, so I did. At this point I'm guessing that my iPhone thinks that it's syncing with that computer. I copied over a few songs using the autofill feature. At this point, Computer A sees the maybe 10 or so songs I've copied using autofill.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I then plug my iPhone into my Macbook (&quot;Computer B&quot;) which I've been syncing with. At this point, I'm pretty sure that it still thought that all my synced content was still on my iPhone. The &quot;manually manage music and videos&quot; checkbox isn't checked, so I check it and go through a similar process where iTunes erases the synced content and I copy over a playlist. At this point, there's no trace of the songs that I copied over from Computer A.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I plug my iPhone into Computer A - in the Music section are the handful of songs that I had copied over earlier, greyed out and unplayable. To make sure that this wasn't some sort of caching issue, I plugged my iPhone into my sister's Macbook (&quot;Computer C&quot;) and it lists the same few, greyed out songs that I had copied over from Computer A.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plugging into Computer B doesn't reveal these songs at all, only the songs that *it* copied over (these are playable).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - This inconsistent behavior is driving me insane. Why would my iPhone report two versions of its contents to different computers?&#xD;&#xA; - Is there a way to get a computer to completely forget about an iPhone and just resync everything to get everything into a consistent state?&#xD;&#xA; - Even if I get the phone into a consistent state, I still can't play the files on my phone anywhere but the computer I sync with, which was my original goal. What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###maybe I should read the fine print before I mess with my iPhone##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So going over this thread with a fine-toothed comb again yields this lovely tidbit in the Apple docs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Note:** Even when manually managing, some content may only be available from one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPods.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OK, so manually managing is a dead end on the iPhone. Are there any other options? Any unofficial third-party programs or drivers that will work? " />

Text="They're things where you can drag something over them, hold it there for a second, and they'll open automatically. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Folders and sidebar items (and the path bar, I believe) in Finder are spring-loaded, so you can drag a file all the way around a directory structure without having to stop at each folder; it's quite useful. I'm assuming that the reference to spring-loaded windows is about the fact that Finder windows will bring themselves fully on screen and to the front if you drag something over them.&#xD;&#xA;- Stacks are also spring-loaded.&#xD;&#xA;- If you drag any window to the edges of the screen and wait, you'll switch between Spaces. This isn't exactly spring-loading, but it's similar.&#xD;&#xA;- Xcode actually has spring-loaded tab-style segmented controls for dragging things between panes, which is quite awesome.&#xD;&#xA;- Safari *doesn't* have spring-loaded tabs, but in my opinion it definitely should. `;)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The paradigm crops up all sorts of places in Mac OS X.

NEC Electronics expects external hard drives, SSDs, flash drives and of course the computers themselves will be the first to receive the SuperSpeed USB upgrade. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.everythingusb.com/nec-%C2%B5PD720200-usb-3.0-host-controller-16679.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.everythingusb.com/superspeed-usb.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.everythingusb.com/hardware/resize.php?size=320&amp;filename=asus_p6x58_premium_motherboard_news.jpg" />

VMs don't take up room in the home directory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. /Users/Shared can be excluded from Time Machine since VMs shouldn't be backed up using Time Machine anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. VMs can easily be shared between users on the same Mac. Just create a group for VM users and change the group of the VMs to that group to assign permissions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. It's a clean solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Better yet, use a second hard disk for VMs if you can.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have three VMs (Vista 64, XP 32, SuSE Linux 64) and they are all located on the second internal hard disk which isn't being backed up by Time Machine either.&#xD;&#xA;" />

It is a Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive and an NVidia Quadro 120M video card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer was purchased in late November of 2006 with XP Pro, and included a free upgrade to Vista Business.  (Vista was available on MSDN but not yet via retail, so the Vista Business upgrades weren't shipped until March of '07.)  Since we had an MSDN subscription at the time, I installed Vista Ultimate on it pretty much as soon as I got it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It ran happily until sometime in the spring of 2007 when Media Center (which I had never used except to watch DVDs) started throwing some kind of bizarre SQL (CE?) error.  This error would pop up at random times just while using the computer.  Furthermore, Media Center would no longer start.  I never identified the cause of this error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I had the Vista Business upgrade by this time, so I nuked the machine, installed XP and all the drivers, and then the Vista Business upgrade.  Again, it ran happily for a few months and then started behaving badly once again.  Vista Business doesn't have Media Center, so this exhibited completely unrelated symptoms.  For no apparent reason and at fairly random times, the machine would suddenly appear to freeze up or run very slowly.  For example, launching a new application window (any app) might take 30-45 seconds to paint fully.  However, Task Manager showed very low CPU load, memory, etc.  I tried all the normal stuff (chkdsk, defrag, etc.) and ran several diagnostic programs to try to identify any problems, but none found anything.  It eventually reached the point that the computer was all but unusable, so I nuked it again and installed XP.  This time I decided to stick with XP instead of going to Vista.  However, within the past couple of months it has started to exhibit the same symptoms in XP that I used to see in Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer is still under Dell warranty until December, but so far they aren't any help unless I can identify a specific problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A friend (partner in a now-dead business) has an identical machine that was purchased at the same time.  His machine exhibits none of these symptoms, which leads me to believe it is a hardware issue, but I can't figure out how to identify it.  Any ideas?  Utilities?  Seen something similar?  At this point I can't even identify any pattern to the behavior, but would be willing to run a &quot;stress test&quot;-style app for as long as a couple days if I had any hope that it would find something.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***EDIT July 17***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm testing [jerryjvl's answer][1] regarding the video card, though I'm not sure it fully explains the symptoms yet.  This morning I ran a video stress test.  The test itself ran fine, but immediately afterward the PC started acting up again.  I left ProcExp open and various system processes were consuming 50-60% of the CPU but with no apparent reason.  For example, &quot;services.exe&quot; was eating about 40%, but the sum of its child processes wasn't higher than about 5%.  I left it alone for several minutes to settle down, and then it was fine again.  I used the &quot;video card stability test&quot; from [firestone-group.com][2].  Its output isn't very detailed, but it at least exercises the hardware pretty hard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***EDIT July 22***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for your excellent suggestions.  Here is an update on what I have tried so far.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * Ran memtest86, SeaTools (Seagate), Hitachi drive fitness test, video card stability test (mentioned above).  The video card test was the only one that seemed to produce any results, though it didn't occur during the actual test.&#xD;&#xA; * I defragged the drive (again...) with JkDefrag&#xD;&#xA; * I dropped the video card acceleration level in the display control panel.  I haven't used the computer extensively since then to see if it made a real difference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also noticed (prior to messing with the video acceleration level) that on a couple of occasions when the problem occurred, I was running a JVM app (OpenOffice) or in a browser.  I tried turning off the JVM in OpenOffice, but then it disables a bunch of features (like expressions in Calc...) so I had to turn it back on.  Not sure if this is a significant finding or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/6574/pc-runs-very-slowly-for-no-apparent-reason/6592#6592&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://freestone-group.com/video-card-stability-test.htm" />

Oh, and the fact that I can get the files in a transferable DRM free format.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not bothered about eBooks right now because the price generally doesn't make sense - both the outlay for a reader and the cost of the books themselves - but I expect this will change.

Some people may even be using Private Browsing modes. However, only few seem to realise that Adobe's Flash player also leaves a cross-browser trail on your local hard drive, and allows for sending cookie-like information back to the server, including third-party sites. And because it is a plugin, Flash does not take any of the browser's privacy settings into account. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry for the long post, but first some details about why using Flash raises a privacy concern:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Flash player keeps a cross-browser history of the domain names of the Flash-sites your computer has visited. Unlike your browser's history, this history is not limited to a certain number of days. History is also recorded while using so-called Private Browsing modes. It is stored on your hard drive (though, as described below, without going to Adobe's site you won't know what is stored).&#xD;&#xA;- I am not sure if any date and time information is kept about each visit, but to see the domain names: right-click on some Flash content, open the settings dialog, and click the Help icon or click the *Advanced* button within the *Privacy* tab. This opens a browser to the [help pages][1] on Adobe.com, where one can click through to the [*Website Privacy Settings*][2] panel.&#xD;&#xA;- One can clear the existing list, but one cannot stop it from being recorded again.&#xD;&#xA;- Flash allows for storing data on your local hard drive, using so-called [Local Shared Objects][3] (aka &quot;Flash Cookies&quot;). Just like HTTP cookies, this data *can* be sent back to the server, for tracking purposes. They are cross-browser, have no expiration date, and no user defined maximum lifetime can be set in the Flash preferences either. These not being HTTP cookies, they are (of course) not blocked by a browser's cookies preferences and are not removed when the normal HTTP cookies are deleted.&#xD;&#xA;- Local Shared Objects are not limited to the site you visit, and third-party storage is enabled by default. At the [*Global Storage Settings*][4] panel one can deselect the default *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer*. Because of the cross-browser and expiration-less nature (and the fact that few people know about it), I feel that the cross-browser third-party Flash Cookies are more dangerous for visitor tracking than third-party normal HTTP cookies. They are even [used to restore][5] plain HTTP cookies.&#xD;&#xA;- When selecting *None* (zero KB) for *Specify the amount of disk space that website websites that you haven't yet visited can use to store information on your computer*, and checking *Never ask again* then some sites do not work. However, the same site might work when setting it to *None* but without selecting *Never ask again*, and then choose *Deny* whenever [prompted][6]. Both options would result in zero KB of data being allowed, but the behaviour differs.&#xD;&#xA;- The plugin also provides a [Flash Player cache][7] for Adobe-signed files. I guess these files are not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: **how to automatically delete that information?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a Mac, one can find a `settings.sol` file and a folder for each visited Flash-website in:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Deleting the `settings.sol` file and all the folders in `sys`, removes the trail from the settings panels. However, the actual Local Shared Ojects are elsewhere (see [Wikipedia][8] for locations on other operating systems), in a randomly named subfolder of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then: how to remove this automatically? Simply removing the folders and the `settings.sol` file every now and then (like by using `launchd` or Windows' Task Scheduler) may interfere with active browsers. Or is it safe to assume that, given the cross-browser nature, the plugin would not care if things are removed while it is active? Only clearing during log-off may not work for those who hibernate all the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firefox users can install [BetterPrivacy][9] or [Objection][10] to delete the Local Shared Objects (for all others browsers as well). I don't know if that also deletes the trail of website domain names.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or: **how to stop Flash from storing a history trail?** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change of plans: I'm currently testing prohibiting Flash to write to its own `sys` and `#SharedObjects` folders. So far, Flash has not tried to restore permissions (though, when deleting the folders, Flash will of course recreate them). I've not encountered any problems but this may take some while to validate, using multiple browsers and sites. I've not yet found a log that reports errors. On a Mac:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cd &quot;$HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; rm -r sys/*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; chmod u-w sys  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; cd &quot;$HOME/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; *\# preserve the randomly named subfolders (only preserving the latest would suffice; see below)*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; rm -r \\#SharedObjects/\*/\*  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; chmod -R u-w \\#SharedObjects&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess the above `chmod`s cannot be achieved on an old Windows system (I'm not sure about XP and Vista?). Though maybe on Windows one could replace the *folders* `sys` and `#SharedObjects` with dummy *files* with the same names? Anyone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, keeping Flash from storing those Local Shared Objects for all sites may cause problems. Some test results (Flash 10 on Mac OS X):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When blocking the `sys` folder (even when leaving the `#SharedObjects` folder writable) then [YouTube][11] won't remember your volume settings while viewing multiple videos. Temporarily allowing write access to the blocked folders while visiting trusted sites (to *only* create folders for domains you like, maybe including references in `settings.sol`) solves that. This way, for YouTube, Flash could be allowed to write to `sys/#s.ytimg.com` and `#SharedObjects/s.ytimg.com`, while Flash could not create *new* folders for other domains. One may also need to make `settings.sol` read-only afterwards, or delete it again. &#xD;&#xA;- When blocking both the `sys` and `#SharedObjects` folders, YouTube and [Vimeo][12] work fine (though they might not remember any settings). However, [Bits on the Run][13] refuses to even show the video player. This is solved by temporarily unblocking the `#SharedObjects` folder, to allow Flash to create a subfolder with some random name. Within this folder, it would create yet another folder for the current Flash website (`content.bitsontherun.com`). Removing that website-specific folder, and blocking both `#SharedObjects` and the randomly named subfolder, still seems to allow Bits on the Run to operate, even though it still cannot write anything to disk. So: the existence of the randomly named subfolder (even when write protected) is important for some sites.&#xD;&#xA;- When I first found the `#SharedObjects` folder, it held many subfolders with random names, some created on the very same day. I wonder when Flash decides it wants a new folder, and how it determines (and remembers) that random name.&#xD;&#xA;- For a moment I considered not blocking write access for `sys` and `#SharedObjects`, but explicitly creating read-only folders for well-known third-party tracking domains (like based on a list from, for example, AdBlock Plus). That way, any other domain could still create Local Shared Objects. But the list would be long, and  the domains from AdBlock Plus are probably all third-party domains anyway, so disabling *Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer* might have the very same result.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any experience anyone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Final notes: if the above links to the settings panels do not work in the future, then use the URL that is known to Flash player as a starting point: [www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager][14].

Encrypting a file that has been changed, however slightly, will typically propagate the changes widely through the encrypted version. rsync would then need to copy much more of the encrypted file than it would have copied of the original. Some attempts have been made to mitigate this, e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://rsyncrypto.lingnu.com/&quot;&gt;the rsyncrypto project&lt;/a&gt;. Further, transferring encrypted files can demand more bandwidth as they cannot be compressed as readily as many text files.]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For lightweight and short-term, non-critical backups and for sharing files between different machines running Ubunto 9.4, I have started to use &lt;a href=&quot;https://ubuntuone.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu One&lt;/a&gt; beta service.

In the end you'll have spent roughly $1000 (USD) and have the foundation for an expandable system and a gaming console. That is assuming you don't already have a 360 at which point you'd be your leveraging existing hardware and can put more power, additional tuners and more drives into your central server. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This method has several advantages: &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. The central server does not need to&#xD;&#xA;    be in an HTPC case which can be&#xD;&#xA;    expensive if you value quality and &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA; 2. The noise of a powerful system&#xD;&#xA;    (spinning drives, fans, etc.) is&#xD;&#xA;    moved away from the viewing room&#xD;&#xA;    without the added cost of higher&#xD;&#xA;    quality parts and sound deadening.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. You can increase the number of TVs which can access the central machine's content very cheaply as the client machines do not need the beefy harddrives, tuner cards or excesive amounts of RAM (see for example, an MSI Wind which can be configured with built in wifi, HDMI and can run WinXP Media Center Edition or Windows 7 for around $300, or an AppleTV which ranges from $230 to $330, has wireless N support and HDMI)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*A Playstation3 can be used out of the box as a Media Center and even has a Blu Ray player in it, but it cannot run XBMC which is a much nicer and more versatile interface.

Ethics matter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If a developer cannot be honest about the product and ethical in their business methods then I doubt I want to trust their software. I would much prefer the up-front IIBYGTKBP approach. For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The `unstable' directory contains a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; snapshot of the current development&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system. Users are welcome to use and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; test these packages, but are warned&#xD;&#xA;&gt; about their state of readiness. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; advantage of using the unstable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distribution is that you are always&#xD;&#xA;&gt; up-to-date with the latest in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; GNU/Linux software industry, but if it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; breaks: you get to keep both parts :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*section 6.6 of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives&quot;&gt;The Debian GNU/Linux FAQs&lt;/a&gt;*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do not object to paying for software but would rather pay for or towards software that supports the 'four freedoms' put forward by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fsf.org/&quot;&gt;Free Software Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Free software&quot; is a matter of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; liberty, not price. To understand the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; concept, you should think of &quot;free&quot; as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in &quot;free speech,&quot; not as in &quot;free&#xD;&#xA;&gt; beer.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Free software is a matter of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; users' freedom to run, copy,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distribute, study, change and improve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the software. More precisely, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; refers to four kinds of freedom, for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the users of the software:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  # The freedom to run the program, &#xD;&#xA;&gt; for any purpose (freedom 0).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  # The freedom to study how the program &#xD;&#xA;&gt; works, and change it to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it do what you wish (freedom 1).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Access to the source code is a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; precondition for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  # The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (freedom 2).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  # The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (and modified versions in general) to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the public, so that the whole&#xD;&#xA;&gt; community benefits (freedom 3). Access&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to the source code is a precondition&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A program is free software if users&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have all of these freedoms. Thus, you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; should be free to redistribute copies,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; either with or without modifications,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; either gratis or charging a fee for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distribution, to anyone anywhere.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Being free to do these things means&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (among other things) that you do not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have to ask or pay for permission.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*An extract from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html&quot;&gt;The Free Software Definition of the GNU project&lt;/a&gt;*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

There are enough talented people working on video standards today that the need for a uniform base is required.  So the question becomes:  is the specification in the public's domain?  Can any corporation just sign up and use it without paying royalties?  I was surprised to learn that most popular forward-thinking interconnects today contain some components which are still not free.  DisplayPort is the only standard which offer truly free use.  The HDCP encryption protocol used by DVI, HDMI, UDI and was recently added also to DisplayPort as an option, requires royalty payments.  Philips' PDCP encryption protocol, currently used only by DisplayPort, is not only stronger, but it is also free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The push is definitely for open, free standards.  The newest member of the club and the one recently accepted by VESA as the new standard, DisplayPort, addresses that fact throughout its entire design." />

The SlowOptimize script will produce cleaner results, but will take more time to finish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; There are many files that cannot be moved while Windows is running, because they are in use by an application, or by a service, or by Windows itself.

The unmovables can be anywhere on disk and are usually fragmented into microscopically small segments. In other words, the harddisk is not a big block of space where files can be moved at will, but thousands of little blocks bounded by unmovable data.&#xD;&#xA;Tip: Certain unmovable Windows files cannot be defragmented, but there are things you can do.

The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; display is only refreshed once per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; second though, and big files will take&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more time, obviously.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - If your computer becomes unresponsive while running MyDefrag&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (especially the MyDefrag display) then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; try the  Slowdown setting to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; MyDefrag use less resources. Note: It&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is normal for your computer to be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unresponsive while the $MFT is being&#xD;&#xA;&gt; moved. This is caused by something&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inside Windows itself, not MyDefrag.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Try turning off your virusscanner. Some virusscanners get exited and scan&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all the files that MyDefrag is moving,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; even though MyDefrag does not execute&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or change the files.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Try a reboot. Sometimes the Microsoft defragmentation API can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; become mysteriously slow and take a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; minute to move even a small file. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; don't know why, but usually a reboot&#xD;&#xA;&gt; helps.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Cleanup old stuff from your harddisk. MyDefrag can move files more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; efficiently if there is plenty of free&#xD;&#xA;&gt; space available.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; It is impossible to predict how much&#xD;&#xA;&gt; running time a script will take. It&#xD;&#xA;&gt; depends on things such as the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; optimization you have selected, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; speed of your harddisk, how big the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; files are, how much data is on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; disk, how the files are currently&#xD;&#xA;&gt; placed, and more. Assuming a harddisk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; speed of 40 megabytes per second, then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reading 100 gigabytes of data will&#xD;&#xA;&gt; take 100000 / 40 = 2500 seconds (42&#xD;&#xA;&gt; minutes). But MyDefrag has to do a lot&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more than just read the data, it also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; has to write the data, and update the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; MFT/FAT. And it may have to move data&#xD;&#xA;&gt; out of the way before it can place an&#xD;&#xA;&gt; item were it want's it to be. MyDefrag&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will do things as efficiently as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; possible, with as little data movement&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as possible, but it will take a long&#xD;&#xA;&gt; time nonetheless. If you are concerned&#xD;&#xA;&gt; about speed then use the &quot;Fast&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Optimize&quot; script. It will produce very&#xD;&#xA;&gt; good results in a minimum amount of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; time, especially if you use it every&#xD;&#xA;&gt; day.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tip: For more information about what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the program is doing run it with the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;-d 4&quot; commandline parameter, or add a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; line with &quot;Debug(175)&quot; to your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;C:\Program Files\MyDefrag&#xD;&#xA;&gt; v4.1\Scripts\Settings.MyD&quot; script, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; while the program is running look at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your &quot;C:\Program Files\MyDefrag&#xD;&#xA;&gt; v4.1\MyDefrag.debuglog&quot; file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.mydefrag.com/FAQUsing-MyDefragIsVerySlowWhatSpeedCanIExpect.html" />

Give it time and it will fix (what it can) eventually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the MYDefrag FAQ: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The FastOptimize and FastUpdate scripts will try to perfectly fill gaps with files from above the gap, but if MyDefrag cannot find a perfect fitting combination of files then a (smaller) gap will be left unfilled. The SlowOptimize script will produce cleaner results, but will take more time to finish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; There are many files that cannot be moved while Windows is running, because they are in use by an application, or by a service, or by Windows itself. See the &quot;c:\Program Files\MyDefrag v4.1\MyDefrag.log&quot; file for a list of files that could not be moved. The unmovables can be anywhere on disk and are usually fragmented into microscopically small segments. In other words, the harddisk is not a big block of space where files can be moved at will, but thousands of little blocks bounded by unmovable data.&#xD;&#xA;Tip: Certain unmovable Windows files cannot be defragmented, but there are things you can do.

Note that the default mail client is not as much of an issue when using Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey because the browser and mail components are integrated (e.g., a mailto link in a SeaMonkey browser window should open SeaMonkey Mail, regardless of your default mail client).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This article describes how to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configure Thunderbird as the default&#xD;&#xA;&gt; e-mail client. However, you must also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configure any other e-mail clients you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; run to not attempt to be the default&#xD;&#xA;&gt; e-mail client or it will have no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; effect. For example, in Outlook&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Express you may need to press a button&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in &quot;Tools -&gt; Options -&gt; General -&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Default Messaging Programs&quot; to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the dialog box say &quot;This application&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is NOT the default mail handler&quot;. Note&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the calendar in Outlook will not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; work unless Outlook is the default&#xD;&#xA;&gt; email client.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You do not need to make Thunderbird&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the default email client in order to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; send/receive email. It's used mainly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to allow other applications to use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thunderbird to send a message by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; making SimpleMAPI calls (if your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; operating system supports MAPI) , or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by your clicking on a mailto: URL (in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a browser). It also associates&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thunderbird with the .EML file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; extension under Windows (if you're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; running 1.5 or later) so that if you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; double click on a .EML file its&#xD;&#xA;&gt; displayed in Thunderbird.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Note: If you receive a message such as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Firefox doesn’t know how to open this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; address because the protocol (mailto)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; isn’t associated with any program.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that means that no mail client is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; currently set as the default and you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will need to set one.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In Thunderbird, go to &quot;Tools -&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Options -&gt; General&quot; and select &quot;Use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thunderbird as the default mail&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application&quot;. (In the Mozilla Suite,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; go to &quot;Edit -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Mail &amp;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Newsgroups&quot; and select &quot;Use Mozilla&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mail as the default mail&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application&quot;.) If that doesn't take&#xD;&#xA;&gt; effect right away, try restarting&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thunderbird or even the computer once.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If that still doesn't work then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; another email client (such as Outlook&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or Windows Mail) is probably also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configured to be the default email&#xD;&#xA;&gt; client. If you're using Windows Vista&#xD;&#xA;&gt; go to &quot;Start -&gt; Default Programs -&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Set Program Access and Computer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Defaults&quot; and set &quot;Mozilla&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Thunderbird&quot; as your default e-mail&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application. See [this article][1] at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; msdn.microsoft.com for more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; information.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you're running Windows XP another&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solution would be to download the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [DefaultMail][2] utility and use it to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; set the default e-mail client. It can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also do this on a per-user basis.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That's useful if several people share&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a machine (with their own Windows user&#xD;&#xA;&gt; account) and each wants to use a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different e-mail client as the default&#xD;&#xA;&gt; e-mail client. If none of these&#xD;&#xA;&gt; methods work it might be because your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; windows account doesn't have the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rights to modify the registry.

There are enough talented people working on video standards today that the need for a uniform base is required.  So the question becomes:  is the specification in the public's domain?  Can any corporation just sign up and use it without paying royalties?  I was surprised to learn that most popular forward-thinking interconnects today contain some components which are still not free.  DisplayPort is the only standard which offer truly free use.  The HDCP encryption protocol used by DVI, HDMI, UDI and was recently added also to DisplayPort as an option, requires royalty payments.  Philips' PDCP encryption protocol, currently used only by DisplayPort, is not only stronger, but it is also free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The push is definitely for open, free standards.  The newest member of the club and the one recently accepted by VESA as the new standard, DisplayPort, addresses that fact throughout its entire design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: This is more from a manufacturing standpoint.  From a user standpoint, they will use whatever becomes most popular.  The average user doesn't care what the details or the politics are, just as long as it works easily for them. DisplayPort will fail if people decide not to implement/use it." />

This means a DisplayPort cable can potentially carry several signals at once (for example a webcam built into a monitor wouldn't need a seperate USB cable). It is also of use in eventually reducing the cost of monitors, since it does not require the LCD to have a seperate controller (this makes no difference until all other connectors are dropped from the LCD, so it's mainly laptop LCDs that benefit).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Except for issues with content protected video, or non-sRGB displays, DisplayPort offers no difference in display quality over DVI." />

On Windows and Linux this can *obviously* be done easily, but not so on the Mac.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I noticed this when trying clear up files from a USB memory stick -- removing the files (&quot;move to trash&quot;) does not free up space; that happens only after emptying the whole system-wide Trash. Not particularly convenient! (It seems stupid to have to empty the whole trashcan just to make some space on the USB stick. There might be gigabytes of stuff in there, and this sort of defeats its purpose - what if you'd actually need to restore something from the trash some day.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what's your way of getting around this? Have you bought a 3rd party application like [RAW Trash][1] for $10 just to delete files, or do you diligently empty the trashcan whenever needed? Or did I miss something? Also, can you convince me that this is actually the way it should be - that user's shouldn't be able to fiddle with the filesystem easily? :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.rawcomputing.co.uk/macrawtrash.html " />

I have tried stopping and restarting explorer.exe and I have copied the explorer.exe from my old install (my computer recognizes the drive but refuses to boot from it now).  Neither of those have worked.  It would be greatly appreciated if someone could either tell me how to fix it directly or avoid the problem the next time I have to install XP SP3.  I am currently on that machine.  I'm using the Task Manager to open up the command line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I just thought about it and realized that there's more to the problem.  My desktop icons haven't been loading either and nothing in the startup folder runs.  I don't know why, but it just occurred to me that this may also be part of the problem.

Companies like Anonymizer probably would turn over their records (if any) if the government forced them to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;People trying to defeat TOS and the sysadmins are probably trolls and spammers-- I hope the sysadmins win the anonymity war on that front. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Not providing any correlating evidence will keep you private from future employers and neighbors--e.g. don't post your photo, real name, significant clues, etc.  To do that, you don't even need to have a proxy because wordpress.com isn't going to forward your blog posts to your neighbor or your boss.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could be using Tor, but as soon as you mention a few of your friends names or accidentally sign your real name just once, you've lost your anonymity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Here are some explanations given by [Eric Sink][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Why is Git so Fast?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In the DVCS world, Git has a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reputation for being really fast.  I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; am curious about how Git got this way.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; When I started thinking about this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; question, seven different answers came&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to my mind.  Some of those answers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; seem more interesting or correct than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; others.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; One:  Maybe Git is fast simply because&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it's a DVCS.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; There's probably some truth here.  One&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the main benefits touted by the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DVCS fanatics is the extra performance&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you get when everything is &quot;local&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; But this answer isn't enough.  Maybe&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it explains why Git is faster than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Subversion, but it doesn't explain why&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Git is so often described as being&#xD;&#xA;&gt; faster than the other DVCSs.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Two:  Maybe Git is fast because Linus&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Torvalds is so smart.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This might very well be correct.  But&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it's not interesting.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Fine.  So Linus is smarter than all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; us.  But how did he use those smarts&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to make Git so fast?  What are the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; details?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Three:  Maybe Git is fast because it's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; written in C instead of one of those&#xD;&#xA;&gt; newfangled higher-level languages.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Nah, probably not.  Lots of people&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have written fast software in C#, Java&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or Python.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And lots of people have written really&#xD;&#xA;&gt; slow software in traditional native&#xD;&#xA;&gt; languages like C/C++.  Adobe writes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; most of their stuff in C++, and they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; don't have any trouble making sure&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that release N+1 is slower than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; release N.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Four:  Maybe Git is fast because being&#xD;&#xA;&gt; fast is the primary goal for Git.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This is another one of those&#xD;&#xA;&gt; high-level answers that is probably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; correct but doesn't have the kind of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; details about which I am curious.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Still.  Take some time to read through&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the archives of the Git developers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mailing list.  These people spend a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LOT of time talking about performance&#xD;&#xA;&gt; issues.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Five:  Maybe Git is fast because it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; does less.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; One of my favorite recent blog entries&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is this piece which claims that the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; way to make code faster is to have it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; do less.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Predictably, people came out of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; woodwork to say how wrong this guy&#xD;&#xA;&gt; was.  That's what happens to almost&#xD;&#xA;&gt; any blog entry about performance&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tuning or optimization.  Readers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ignore anything correct in the article&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and quibble about little stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; But this guy was essentially correct. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; One way to make software faster is to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; make it do less.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; For example, the way you get something&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the Git index is you use the &quot;git&#xD;&#xA;&gt; add&quot; command.  Git doesn't scan your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; working copy for changed files unless&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you explicitly tell it to.  This can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; be a pretty big performance win for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; huge trees.  Even when you use the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;remember the timestamp&quot; trick,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; detecting modified files in a really&#xD;&#xA;&gt; big tree can take a noticeable amount&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of time.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Or maybe Git's shortcut for handling&#xD;&#xA;&gt; renames is faster than doing them more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; correctly like Bazaar does.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Six:  Maybe Git is fast because it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; doesn't use much external code.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Very often, when you are facing a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; decision to use somebody else's code&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or write it yourself, there is a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; performance tradeoff.  Not always, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; often.  Maybe the third party code is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; just slower than the code you could&#xD;&#xA;&gt; write yourself if you had time to do&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it.  Or maybe there is an impedance&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mismatch between the API of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; external library and your own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; architecture.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This can happen even when the library&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is very high quality.  For example,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consider libcurl.  This is a great&#xD;&#xA;&gt; library.  Tons of people use it.  But&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it does have one problem that will&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cause performance problems for some&#xD;&#xA;&gt; users:  When using libcurl to fetch an&#xD;&#xA;&gt; object, it wants to own the buffer. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In some situations, this can end up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; forcing you to use extra memcpys or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; temporary files.  The reason all the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; low level calls like send() and recv()&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allow the caller to own the loop and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the buffer is because this is the best&#xD;&#xA;&gt; way to avoid the need to make extra&#xD;&#xA;&gt; copies of the data on disk or in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; memory.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; People make fun of those with NIH&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Syndrome, but my observation is that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folks who suffer from this disorder&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tend to create faster software, even&#xD;&#xA;&gt; if they also tend to ship everything&#xD;&#xA;&gt; late.  :-)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Maybe Git is fast because every time&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they faced one of these &quot;buy vs.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; build&quot; choices, they decided to just&#xD;&#xA;&gt; write it themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Seven:  Maybe Git isn't really that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; fast.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If there is one thing I've learned&#xD;&#xA;&gt; about version control it's that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; everybody's situation is different. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; It is quite likely that Git is a lot&#xD;&#xA;&gt; faster for some scenarios than it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for others.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; How does Git handle really large&#xD;&#xA;&gt; trees?  Git was designed primary to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; support the efforts of the Linux&#xD;&#xA;&gt; kernel developers.  A lot of people&#xD;&#xA;&gt; think the Linux kernel is a large&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tree, but it's really not.  Many&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enterprise configuration management&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repositories are FAR bigger than the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Linux kernel.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Final thoughts&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This week's version control blog entry&#xD;&#xA;&gt; raises more questions than answers. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a Git user, nor have I looked&#xD;&#xA;&gt; much at its code, so I don't really&#xD;&#xA;&gt; know why it's so fast.  I'm just&#xD;&#xA;&gt; curious.  If you have better answers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than mine (and I admit that's a low&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hurdle), feel free to send them to me&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or post them in my comments.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; But FWIW, I have decided it is time&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for me to become a Git user.  When I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; was writing about Git a few weeks ago,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a lot of Git users kept telling me I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; just don't get it.  I've spent more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; time thinking about version control&#xD;&#xA;&gt; implementation and design than most&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folks, so I tend to think I actually&#xD;&#xA;&gt; do &quot;get it&quot;.  But my curiosity is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; piqued, and I hate to pass up an&#xD;&#xA;&gt; opportunity to learn something, so I'm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; going to give it a try.  I've got a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; small project here at SourceGear that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I work on part-time with a couple&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other people.  We've decided to switch&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to Git and see how it goes.  I'll let&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you know what I find out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ericsink.com/entries/why_is_git_fast.html" />

In the end you'll have spent roughly $1000 (USD) and have the foundation for an expandable system and a gaming console. That is assuming you don't already have an XBox at which point you'd be your leveraging existing hardware and can put more power, additional tuners and more drives into your central server. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This method has several advantages: &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. The central server does not need to&#xD;&#xA;    be in an HTPC case which can be&#xD;&#xA;    expensive if you value quality and &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA; 2. The noise of a powerful system&#xD;&#xA;    (spinning drives, fans, etc.) is&#xD;&#xA;    moved away from the viewing room&#xD;&#xA;    without the added cost of higher&#xD;&#xA;    quality parts and sound deadening.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. You can increase the number of TVs which can access the central machine's content very cheaply as the client machines do not need the beefy harddrives, tuner cards or excesive amounts of RAM (see for example, an MSI Wind which can be configured with built in wifi, HDMI and can run WinXP Media Center Edition or Windows 7 for around $300, or an AppleTV which ranges from $230 to $330, has wireless N support and HDMI)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*A Playstation3 can be used out of the box as a Media Center and even has a Blu Ray player in it, but it cannot run XBMC which is a much nicer and more versatile interface.

Text="Hello all.  I have recently been forced to reinstall Windows XP.  Since then, every time I install Service Pack 3, my task bar does not load when I log in.  The only way I have been able to get it back is to repair the install using the Windows XP install disk.  This does not help much, however, as I am then left without installed updates.  I have tried stopping and restarting explorer.exe and I have copied the explorer.exe from my old install (my computer recognizes the drive but refuses to boot from it now).  Neither of those have worked.  It would be greatly appreciated if someone could either tell me how to fix it directly or avoid the problem the next time I have to install XP SP3.  I am currently on that machine.  I'm using the Task Manager to open up the command line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I just thought about it and realized that there's more to the problem.  My desktop icons haven't been loading either and nothing in the startup folder runs.  I don't know why, but it just occurred to me that this may also be part of the problem.  Until now I thought that it was all linked to the taskbar not loading, but now I think there's a bigger problem here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update: I'm going to attempt a system restore from the command line to roll back SP3.  If that doesn't work then I'm going to repair the install again.  The taskbar tool recommended in one of the comments did not work.  Neither did running explorer.exe.  Some of the answers have not provided enough detail as to how to fix it, such as making a change to an executable file.  Others seem to be addressing a different problem altogether.  Keep the answers coming and remember that I don't have any kind of graphical explorer interface." />

Text="Hello all.  I have recently been forced to reinstall Windows XP.  Since then, every time I install Service Pack 3, my task bar does not load when I log in.  The only way I have been able to get it back is to repair the install using the Windows XP install disk.  This does not help much, however, as I am then left without installed updates.  I have tried stopping and restarting explorer.exe and I have copied the explorer.exe from my old install (my computer recognizes the drive but refuses to boot from it now).  Neither of those have worked.  It would be greatly appreciated if someone could either tell me how to fix it directly or avoid the problem the next time I have to install XP SP3.  I am currently on that machine.  I'm using the Task Manager to open up the command line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I just thought about it and realized that there's more to the problem.  My desktop icons haven't been loading either and nothing in the startup folder runs.  I don't know why, but it just occurred to me that this may also be part of the problem.  Until now I thought that it was all linked to the taskbar not loading, but now I think there's a bigger problem here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update: I'm going to attempt a system restore from the command line to roll back SP3.  If that doesn't work then I'm going to repair the install again.  The taskbar tool recommended in one of the comments did not work.  Neither did running explorer.exe.  Some of the answers have not provided enough detail as to how to fix it, such as making a change to an executable file.  Others seem to be addressing a different problem altogether.  Keep the answers coming and remember that I don't have any kind of graphical explorer interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update 2: System restore did not work so I had to go through the repair process again." />

In Asus' case, it is called &quot;Qualified Vendor's List&quot; and is in the P5B-MX user's manual. If you pick memory from this list, then it has been tested and passed the motherboard vendor's qualification. Unfortunately, this list can be dated. So here is my criteria to use for selecting memory:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For P5B-MX, you definitely want DDR2-667 memory.&#xD;&#xA; - Also, avoid CAS Latency = 3, which apparently downgrades to 533 due to chipset limitation (at least at the time the User's Guide was written). NOTE: Generally the lower the numbers in the timings, the better.&#xD;&#xA; - Select memory because...&#xD;&#xA;  1. It is the specific module listed on the AVL.&#xD;&#xA;  2. It is close to the specific model listed on the AVL (minor revision change).&#xD;&#xA;  3. It is from a manufacturer/has same components as model on the AVL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other good options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Recommended memory form someone who used the specific module on their P5B-MX motherboard.&#xD;&#xA; - Memory on the AVL of another motherboard with the exact same memory controller and configuration.&#xD;&#xA; - Quality memory that fits the specifications from a tier-1 memory vendor (usually not the cheapest).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, there is always risk that the memory will be bad. I suggest once you get your memory, even if you use the AVL mentioned above, your run it through a good memory test. The best memory test tool I know of is RST-PRO, but it costs money. You can find some adequate memory testing programs online, like Memtest86, for free." />

Some power supplies require a certain load on their different power rails before they will power on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*(I'll add more to this list if I think of any.)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally debugging a board requires taking it out of the chassis, getting a hold of the schematic and layout design files, and taking measurements with a meter and oscilloscope to determine the exact cause of the failure after the easy stuff is taken care of (testing with a known good configuration, clear cmos, etc.)." />

This creates the potential for a security disaster. XP mode is an independent Windows instance, that shares the odd folder and device with the host Windows 7 installation. What it doesn't share is processes and memory. So it doesn't share security settings, security software, patches etc. It does not inherit any security from the host. When you use XP mode, you need to patch the copy of XP as well as the host Windows 7. You need to manage settings separately, configure two personal firewalls and install and manage two copies of anti-malware software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would mean having 2 seperate liscences for software, unless the specific software vendor has a liscencing scheme that covers virtualization. This may probably become more popular* now that Win7 is going to havebuitl in XP, since users will expect liscences for both operating systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*: Assumption on my part, no facts to base this upon! :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10229125-56.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/07/17/guest-blog-xp-mode-demonstrating-security-microsofts-priority/" />

Disabling the network devices that you do not use will definitely save you some booting time.&#xD;&#xA; - FireWire: If you have 1394 connections, otherwise known as fire wire, you might consider disabling them. Unless you are using your fire wire port to connect your digital video recorder to your computer, or have other external fire wire device, you have no need to have this device enabled.&#xD;&#xA; - Modems: Do you have a broadband connection? If so, then consider disabling your modem. If you rarely use it, disable it. If you ever need to use it again, just re-enable it again.&#xD;&#xA; - Multimedia devices: Your computer has lots of multimedia devices. Take a look at the &quot;Sound, video, and game controllers&quot; section in Device Manager. You will find a lot of device drivers that are loaded during your boot. Some are used by all users, but others will find a few that they do not use. For example, I do not use my game port or my MIDI device, so I disabled both of those.&#xD;&#xA; - PCMCIA: If you are a laptop user, consider disabling your PCMCIA card controller located under &quot;PCMCIA adapters&quot;. The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) slot is special expansion slot that is rarely used today on laptops except for wireless and wired network cards and card reader attachments for compact flash and other solid state memory cards. Most laptops now have built in network adapters and some even have built-in wireless adapters. If you do not use your PCMCIA adapter, it is yet another device that can be safely disabled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other tips (caution though!):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Remove unused extra fonts][3] &#xD;&#xA; - [Disabling unneeded services][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/northrup_restoreperf.mspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1786003,00.asp&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1786005,00.asp&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1786006,00.asp" />

(Windows API)][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the OP [by Pauk][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Your question peaked my interest, so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I've done a bit of digging and whilst&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unfortunately I don't have a proper&#xD;&#xA;&gt; answer for you, I thought I'd share&#xD;&#xA;&gt; what I have.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I found this example of creating&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard hook (in Delphi) which,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; whilst being written back in 1998, is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compilable in Delphi 2007 with a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; couple of tweaks.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; As to what it's doing, its a DLL with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a call to SetWindowsHookEx that passes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; through a Callback function, which can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; then intercept key strokes (in this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; case, its tinkering with them for fun,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; i.e. changing left cursor to right,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; etc). A simple app then calls the DLL&#xD;&#xA;&gt; up and reports back it's results based&#xD;&#xA;&gt; on a TTimer event. If you're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interested I can post up the Delphi&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2007 based code.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's well documented/commented and you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; could potentially use it as a basis of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; working out where a key press is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; going. If you could get the handle of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the application that sent the key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; strokes, you could track it back that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; way. With that handle you'd be able to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; get the information you need quite&#xD;&#xA;&gt; easily.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Other apps have tried determining&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hotkeys by going through their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Shortcuts since they can contain a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Shortcut key, which is just another&#xD;&#xA;&gt; term for hotkey. However most&#xD;&#xA;&gt; applications don't tend to set this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; property so it might not return much.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you are interested in that route,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Delphi has access to IShellLink COM&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interface which you could use to load&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a shortcut up from and get it's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hotkey. E.g:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; uses ShlObj, ComObj, ShellAPI,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ActiveX, CommCtrl;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; procedure GetShellLinkHotKey; var  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; LinkFile : WideString;   SL:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; IShellLink;   PF: IPersistFile;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;   HotKey : Word;   HotKeyMod: Byte;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; HotKeyText : string; begin   LinkFile&#xD;&#xA;&gt; := 'C:\Temp\Temp.lnk';&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; OleCheck(CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IShellLink,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; SL));&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;   // The IShellLink implementer must&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also support the IPersistFile   //&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interface.

And after the initial indexing is completed, the software continues to index files as needed. Users can start searching for files immediately after installing the program. After performing searches, results can also be returned in an Internet browser on the Google Desktop Home Page much like the results for Google Web searches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google Desktop can index several different types of data, including email, web browsing history from Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, office documents in the OpenDocument and Microsoft Office formats, instant messenger transcripts from AOL, Google, MSN, Skype, Tencent QQ, and several multimedia file types. Additional file types can be indexed through the use of plug-ins.[1] Google Desktop allows the user to control which types of data are indexed by the program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One unfortunate aspect for users with large hard drives: Google Desktop only indexes 100,000 files per drive during the initial indexing period. If you have more than 100,000 files in a particular drive, Google Desktop won't index all of them during this initial period. However, Google Desktop adds files to your index during real-time indexing when you move or open them. [2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop" />

It's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; intended for users with multiple&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computers on their desk since each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system uses its own monitor(s).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as simple as moving the mouse off the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; edge of your screen. Synergy also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merges the clipboards of all the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; systems into one, allowing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cut-and-paste between systems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Furthermore, it synchronizes screen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; savers so they all start and stop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; together and, if screen locking is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, only one screen requires a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; password to unlock them all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another free software (only for Windows):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Input Director][2]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director is a Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application that lets you control&#xD;&#xA;&gt; multiple Windows systems using the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard/mouse attached to one&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computer. It is designed for folks who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have two (or more) computers set up at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; home and find themselves regularly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sliding from one system to the other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (and wearing out the carpet in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; process!). &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With Input Director, you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can share a single keyboard/mouse&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across a set of systems. You switch&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which system receives the input either&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by hotkey or by moving the cursor so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that it transitions from one screen to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the other (in a very similar fashion&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to a multi-monitor setup). The idea&#xD;&#xA;&gt; being that you can position the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; monitors from two or more systems in a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; control all of them. Input Director&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also supports a &quot;shared&quot; clipboard, in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which you can copy data onto the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clipboard on one system, transition&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across to another and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director requires Windows 2000&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 2008 or Windows 7.

The results vary from screen to screen between &quot;blurry mess&quot; to &quot;nice and clear&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most computer monitor CRTs have a [shadow mask](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CRT_screen._closeup.jpg) which has a triangular arrangement of colors. Here there is clearly no way that subpixel rendering can work the way it should. However, you still get the difference in brightness and CRTs being blurrier than LCDs may make the text appear similarly to conventionally-smoothed text (which uses just grayscale to smooth the edges).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some computer screens have an [aperture grille](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aperture_grille_closeup.jpg) and I happened to use one of those for several years. Here you *can* actually have a similar effect as on LCD screens for ClearType, especially when hitting the maximum resolution of the display (I tended to do so because my eyes work and I valued the space on screen :)). However, there is no guarantee that every pixel will lie exactly at the boundaries you would like it to lie. Also with older monitors the dimensions of the image tend to vary with overall brightness of the image. But at least for me subpixel rendering on such a screen was superior to grayscale antialiasing." />

The program's main goal is to find duplicate audio files and sort them in whatever way you want. However Audio Comparer is not your usual program, in fact we believe it's the best MP3 comparison tool available. Read on to see why.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main difference between Audio Comparer and other duplicate MP3 finders is the fact that Audio Comparer &quot;listens&quot; to your audio files and compares them by their actual audio content, just like your own human ears do. However it's much faster and it never forgets a sound it's heard just once, thus it doesn't matter what compression type or encoding bit rate your audio files have, Audio Comparer is able to recognize them by the sound. Contrast this technology with other MP3 comparison tools that just look at MP3 file tags or even crude file size to locate duplicate files and can't identify similar audio files at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First of all, Audio Comparer can listen to your entire music collection, in all formats, and remember it all. The set of audio files is named &quot;audio group&quot; in the program. You can make your entire collection into one audio group or divide it into several groups. The &quot;listening&quot; process is very fast, Audio Comparer spends approximately just 1 second per MP3 file to listen and remember it. It is much faster than you can do it manually! When an audio group is formed, you may make a comparison within this group or compare it with another group. The audio comparison process is even faster and you'll get the comparison results in seconds. Once the audio comparison is done, Audio Comparer will display the results in a tree. Each nested branch is an audio file with a similarity degree within the parent branch file. You can mark files as you want and batch copy, move or delete them. This makes it easy to find and remove duplicate MP3, WMA, APE, AAC or OGG files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://audiocomparer.com/" />

Needing the machine for work, I purchased a different motherboard and installed that.  Generally a reinstall of windows is good at that point but I am not in a position to do that so I just decided I would live with it for now.  When I can log-in, everything works fine, what doesn't is getting to the log-in prompt to begin with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basically when I first installed the new mobo, every time I rebooted the machine, I would not get the windows login prompt.  One of the monitors would receive a signal but the screen would be black.  Moving the mouse would not show the cursor and hitting the up arrow key and typing my password and hitting enter (which will normally log you in without mouse) wouldn't change anything.  I would then change the monitor configuration around (2 lcd's and a crt) and reboot and at least one of the monitors would work and display the login prompt.  I could then go into display properties and turn on the other monitors.  However if I rebooted again, I would get the black screen on one monitor again.  I would then have to change the configuration again to one not used before and I could re-do the manual setup at that point.  I think windows saves the configurations so I had to keep giving it new ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Needless to say I've been trying to not turn off my machine.  Early this week I actually got the prompt to come up without playing musical monitors.  Thinking everything was getting better, I found no harm in rebooting to install the latest windows updates.  Boy was I wrong.  Now no matter what I do I can't get a windows log-in prompt to display.  I've tried almost every conceivable combination.  The new mobo has onboard video so I set that in the bios (yea bios screen always displays fine, its not until windows boots that there is a problem) to be the primary video.  Still no luck.  I have two other graphics cards in the machine which I'm using.  Tried all kinds of configurations between those and on-board but still get this black screen of death.  I read somewhere that deleting the video drivers would reset the configurations.  I logged into safe mode (which works on one monitor), and uninstalled the display drivers.  Still no luck and when I booted back into safe mode, it wanted to install new hardware and the display adapters weren't there as expected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyone have any ideas?  A fresh install would be a pain and I might be getting my old board back from RMA soon so not sure I want to go through with that just yet.  Only thing I can think of is to continue to try other combinations like physically removing the graphics cards.  They are both EVGA 8600 cards and the windows boot screen does display fwiw.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Not only has the UI been cleaned up and polished in many areas, but it boots faster, is more responsive, and uses much less memory. (Oh, and it takes advantage of multi-core processors better, but I don't know if that applies to you.) On top of that, most drivers are now available through Windows Update, which is really convenient. Also, the media stuff was greatly improved; for example, Windows Media Player 12 supports many codecs such as DivX and AAC right off the bat, and the media sharing feature was improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All-in-all it's just an even better version of Windows Vista.

It's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; intended for users with multiple&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computers on their desk since each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system uses its own monitor(s).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as simple as moving the mouse off the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; edge of your screen. Synergy also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merges the clipboards of all the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; systems into one, allowing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cut-and-paste between systems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Furthermore, it synchronizes screen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; savers so they all start and stop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; together and, if screen locking is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, only one screen requires a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; password to unlock them all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another free software (only for Windows):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Input Director][3]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director is a Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application that lets you control&#xD;&#xA;&gt; multiple Windows systems using the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard/mouse attached to one&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computer.

You switch&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which system receives the input either&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by hotkey or by moving the cursor so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that it transitions from one screen to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the other (in a very similar fashion&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to a multi-monitor setup). The idea&#xD;&#xA;&gt; being that you can position the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; monitors from two or more systems in a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; control all of them. Input Director&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also supports a &quot;shared&quot; clipboard, in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which you can copy data onto the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clipboard on one system, transition&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across to another and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director requires Windows 2000&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 2008 or Windows 7.

You could do this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % cd /Volumes/&lt;extdrive&gt;/&#xD;&#xA;    % hdiutil create TimeMachineImage -size 50g -fs HFS+ -volname TimeMachineDisk&#xD;&#xA;    % open TimeMachineImage.dmg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You would then go into the preferences and choose /Volumes/TimeMachineDisk as the backup drive. You can be assured that you won't grow over the 50GB size you want to use and the space is already reserved on your external drive, so it won't grow larger to squeeze you out of space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could then move TimeMachineImage.dmg to another drive for TimeMachine backups. Or simply for offsite protection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This also opens up some other options, the most important of which is the ability to encrypt your TimeMachine backups. To do this, you simply enable encryption for the dmg, so you'd use something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % hdiutil create TimeMachineImage -encrypted -size 50g -fs HFS+ -volname TimeMachineDisk&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final piece of this puzzle is that you would like to automount the dmg when your external drive is mounted. I'd guess it is possible to do this with Applescript so it happens automatically, but I'm not familiar enough with Applescript to help here. You can create a cronjob, though, that runs a script to mount it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/bash&#xD;&#xA;    if [ -d /Volumes/&lt;extdrive&gt; ] ; then&#xD;&#xA;      open /Volumes/extdrive/TimeMachineImage.dmg&#xD;&#xA;    fi&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And install a cronjob that looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/&lt;scriptname&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also create a sparse image so that it does not suck up the entire 50GB when you first create it by including the *-type SPARSE* arg in the hdiutil call. The danger here is that you may run out of space on your external drive." />

The longer answer is a bit more complicated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With regards to the MD5 hashing idea of yours, there is at least one experimental Firefox plugin that calculates the hashes of downloaded files. You can then manually compare them. Alternatively, many sites offer downloads of text files with the precomputed hashes for their software. You can then force a check using &lt;code&gt;md5sum -c &lt; hash filename &gt;&lt;/code&gt;. The problem with all these methods is that if an attacker was able to replace the file you downloaded, he could probably be able to change the hashes listed on the website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Application signing is the official solution to this problem. It uses public key cryptography and certificate authorities in a manner similar to what is used in the SSL security standard for websites. It works by getting a digital certificate from a certificate authority. This certificate can be verified by anybody, and ensure that the holder is are who they say they are. It can also be used to 'sign' a package, which ensures that the package was produced by the holder, and not altered in any way by anyone other than the holder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, why don't we see better adoption of these methods? Well, they are already pretty well adopted, and mostly invisible when they work. Major operating systems and browsers use the signatures if they are available by default. Additionally, major Linux distributions sign the software packages and updates they provide using these methods. However, when it come to the smaller players, we are very unlikely to see major adoption.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem here is a mix of hacker poverty and hacker pride. In order to get one of these certificates, you need to pay a large sum of money to one of the certificate authorities. If they don't, a programmer can still sign their own packages without any CA's blessing. By doing this, the user who downloads the file can be sure that only the holder of the certificate touched a particular package, which meets the integrity requirement of your question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, using a 'self-signed' certificate like this *decreases* the public confidence in your software, rather than increasing it. If you self-sign, the OS / browser complains **loudly** when you try to open the package; louder even than for a totally unsigned file. Because the browser or OS does not trust the software creator, it thinks that you shouldn't trust them either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, the hacker complaint is why should somebody trust some faceless multinational certificate authority more than someone else? What have they ever done to prove themselves more trustworthy than everyone else?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To many people, the certificate issue boils down to extortion: &quot;Pay us $$$ to certify you, or your downloads will be a second-rate citizens&quot;. That is why application signing has not been adopted by anybody except the biggest players." />

And perhaps saving some work since the last backup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in my experience, if you have proper backups, RAID for workstations just isn't worth the bother.  The rebuilds are often not trouble free and the rest of the PC is a bunch of single points of failure, many of which can trash the disk anyway - memory, power, motherboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The RAID controller is a single point of failure.  If it goes you have to be able to replace it with the same or compatible controller or you lose the array anyway.   If it's a motherboard controller are you going to be able to get a compatible replacement in 2 years time?  Assuming it didn't take the array with in when it failed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;RAID isn't a backup strategy - there's no substitute for real backups.  Something like, say, at least 3 external drives and backup software that gets everything and can do a bare metal restore is where you should start.  You didn't say what OS you have, but there are good options for Windows Linux and Mac.  And if you do it right the recoery is quick and sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

With it, executable code can be run at a higher or lower permission level than the current user. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For instance, when UAC is on Internet Explorer 7 and 8 have a feature called Protected Mode. This causes every bit of code run by a webpage to be run in a very low privilege mode, where the code only has access to things like the user's temporary folder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conversely, when you see a UAC prompt where an application is requesting Admin rights, the app is being given virtual admin rights *just* for that app.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest benefit of UAC is that it allows people to run most things at the standard user permission level, and elevate as necessary. In Windows XP and previous versions of Windows, it was basically required to run everything in the Administrator account because otherwise using Windows was a real pain. The beauty of this is that it reduces the number of targets for malicious software to hit as at any given time there are fewer apps that can take full control of permissions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**None of this means UAC can in any way replace anti-virus software.** But, if you're really careful, UAC can make going without anti-virus a lot easier.

Go through every page of each printer properties for the two printers, and ensure nothing is different except for the port. Keep in mind that printing preferences and printing defaults both need to match up. I've seen cases where one or the other was not set correctly, resulting in undesired behaviour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Copy the USB installation in your printers folder, and change it's port to use the TCP/IP port used by your network printer - see if this corrects the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If #2 does not correct the issue, and the problem continues then it is a problem with the driver or the printer. What model printer, and have you obtained the latest driver? Perhaps an older version of the driver (if you can find such a beast) is available?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Failing that - delete all of the drivers and ports related to the printer. (Right Click in Printers -&gt; Server Properties -&gt; Delete each driver for this printer, then all the ports) and reset the printer to factory defaults.

SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/synctoybeta.aspx" />

The answer will be improved as I go along.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Find out what the toolbar currently consists of ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    :tmenu ToolBar&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will give you a listing of the commands currently on your toolbar. It will list the position, name and tooltip for each entry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Delete something from the default toolbar ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use your `.gvimrc` to delete entries from your default toolbar. For example, to get rid of the make command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    :aunmenu ToolBar.Make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to specify the menu (&quot;ToolBar&quot;) and the name of the command (&quot;Make&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Add a new entry to your toolbar ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To add a new command to the toolbar, use the tmenu and amenu command. For example, the following commands will add an icon that will toggle the display of the taglist (of course, you need to install the [taglist plugin][1] first):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    :tmenu ToolBar.taglist Toggle display of the Taglist&#xD;&#xA;    :amenu ToolBar.taglist :TlistToggle&lt;CR&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, you need to specify the name of the menu (&quot;ToolBar&quot;) and the name of your new menu entry (&quot;taglist&quot;). The name of the new entry will also be used to search for an icon. You can place the icon in your ~/.vim/bitmaps/ directory (simply create it if it doesn't exist yet). Supposedly, you need a .bmp on Windows and a .xpm everywhere else. The icon's size needs to be 18 x 18 pixels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`tmenu` is responsible for the tooltip displayed when hovering the icon. Use `amenu` to decide what should happen when the icon is clicked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/" />

CPUs and video cards that run cool&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. a quiet, efficient power supply&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. hard drives that run relatively quiet as shipped&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You most likely have to PAY to make your machine quiet by paying for better engineering and higher quality components.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000665.html" />

At least, new features of Skype doesn't worth so large footprint. And it works good only if connection is good.

It should be convenient both for&#xD;&#xA;    chat and voice calls, and should be&#xD;&#xA;    able to send/accept files&#xD;&#xA; 3. It should be able to store message&#xD;&#xA;    history localy or on server -&#xD;&#xA;    depending on y selection for the&#xD;&#xA;    contact/or group&#xD;&#xA; 4. It should be able to record voice&#xD;&#xA;    calls &#xD;&#xA; 5. It should be able to call&#xD;&#xA;        local/international phones and be&#xD;&#xA;        called from there, even if I have to&#xD;&#xA;        pay for that.&#xD;&#xA; 6. It should be able to redirect&#xD;&#xA;    calls/messages to my mobile phone&#xD;&#xA;    (payed service) but I want to setup&#xD;&#xA;    from what groups of contacts I want&#xD;&#xA;    to allow this feature&#xD;&#xA; 7. It should be able to adjust quality&#xD;&#xA;    settings according to current&#xD;&#xA;    connection status&#xD;&#xA; 8. It should be able to deliver&#xD;&#xA;    messages even if I go offline (i.e.&#xD;&#xA;    messages can be routed thru server&#xD;&#xA;    but not only peer-to-peer)&#xD;&#xA; 9. It should be able to inform about&#xD;&#xA;    missed calls to my e-mail or SMS to&#xD;&#xA;    mobile phone if I enable this&#xD;&#xA;    feature&#xD;&#xA; 10. I dont need integration to social&#xD;&#xA;     networks like in Windows Live&#xD;&#xA;     Messanger. It should be a business&#xD;&#xA;     communication tool, not for hobbie&#xD;&#xA;     or for fan. Or, if somebody think&#xD;&#xA;     it is important, then let me access&#xD;&#xA;     to LinkedIn :) But still, it is not&#xD;&#xA;     a key feature&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any tool that can match most of the criteria above ?

If you read huge numbers of small files regularly (e.g. compiling large program suites) then very fast disk subsystems (e.g. high speed drives and RAID striping) could be a big win but the noise could make you unpopular with nearby colleagues. Similarly one could envision a case for an SSD in some workflows. Personally, I prefer lots of RAM and don't mind a few minutes at the start of a session whilst the software and data move into RAM but that suits the work I do: I expect your requirements would be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bear in mind the effects of running multiple packages concurrently and the benefits more RAM can bring to that. Some packages, especially ones that do extensive graphic processing, can take a long time to load even on a fast machine. Being able to leave them memory-resident and available at the click of a tab is a helpful time-saver. More RAM and more cores allows more work to be left in the background without affecting foreground tasks but is not relevant if you don't have jobs you leave running in the background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Economising in some areas that are less critical to your requirements may encourage the budget-holder to accommodate enhancements you would prefer (e.g. lower processor clock speed can reduce cost, noise, heat and and power consumption), exchanging that for 4 cores instead of 2 (if your work patterns and software can use them) or more RAM may well be a better deal. Finally, using high-quality components at a slightly lower performance point is likely to give better value than lower quality, or less well-tested, components at a higher performance point." />

I like to create random playlists (and sometimes very long ones). One thing I haven't been able to find anywhere is the qeueing (sp?) system in Winamp where you can make the playlist advance in whatever way you wish without reordering the playlist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Either way, post your favorite - even if it is iTunes, that way maybe others can make something out of the question too :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: For those asking what I don't like about iTunes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I must admit, granted, I haven't given it much of a chance and it might be that I should revisit it, just to see if my impression of it was wrong. But I don't like how it seemingly decides everything of how my music is supposed to be ordered (ie. reorganizing all my files) - it's great if you WANT all your files to be the way iTunes imagines the world of music, but not if you don't. Also I don't remember having a playlist system in the likes of Winamp which I really really miss on my Mac, but it might be that I have simply not tried it enough. I might give iTunes another go just to see if I have judged it out without having tried it too much - however I'd still really like to see what other alternatives there are as well." />

Typing `- text` gets you a bulleted list starting with emdash. `1. text` starts an ordered list.

It is the tablett which does the work there are various ways that they can tell where they are being tapped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Quoting from [wikipedia][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Passive tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Passive tablets, most notably those by Wacom, make use of electromagnetic induction technology, where the horizontal and vertical wires of the tablet operate as both transmitting and receiving coils (as opposed to the wires of the RAND Tablet which only transmit). The tablet generates an electromagnetic signal, which is received by the LC circuit in the stylus. The wires in the tablet then change to a receiving mode and read the signal generated by the stylus. Modern arrangements also provide pressure sensitivity and one or more switches (similar to the buttons on a mouse), with the electronics for this information present in the stylus itself, not the tablet. On older tablets, changing the pressure on the stylus nib or pressing a switch changed the properties of the LC circuit, affecting the signal generated by the pen, which modern ones often encode into the signal as a digital data stream. By using electromagnetic signals, the tablet is able to sense the stylus position without the stylus having to even touch the surface, and powering the pen with this signal means that devices used with the tablet never need batteries. Wacom's patents don't permit their competitors to employ such techniques.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Active tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Active tablets differ in that the stylus used contains self-powered electronics that generate and transmit a signal to the tablet. These styli rely on an internal battery rather than the tablet for their power, resulting in a bulkier stylus. Eliminating the need to power the pen means that such tablets may listen for pen signals constantly, as they do not have to alternate between transmit and receive modes, which can result in less jitter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Optical tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Optical tablets operate by a very small digital camera in the stylus, and then doing pattern matching on the image of the paper. The most successful example is the technology developed by Anoto.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Acoustic tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Early models were described as spark tablets -- a small sound generator was mounted in the stylus, and the acoustic signal picked up by two microphones placed near the writing surface. Some modern designs are able to read positions in three dimensions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Electromagnetic tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wacom's are one example of a graphics tablet that works by generating and detecting an electromagnetic signal: in the Wacom design, the signal is generated by the pen, and detected by a grid of wires in the tablet. Other designs such as those by Pencept generate a signal in the grid of wires in the tablet, and detect it in the pen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Capacitative tablets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;have also been designed to use an electrostatic or capacitative signal. Scriptel's designs are one example of a high-performance tablet detecting an electrostatic signal. Unlike the type of capacitative design used for touchscreens, the Scriptel design is able to detect the position of the pen while it is in proximity to, or hovering above, the tablet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet#Operation" />

Using BES from work.  Installed apps are GMail, GMaps, Google Search App, Google Voice, Google Sync (see a pattern?) and 5ud0ko. I actually uninstalled all the chat applications since I could not get them to stop loading.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Prior to this, it suddenly started telling me I was going into Standby mode, and to press the Mute key to get out.  Mute key (I assume is the button on the top with an image of a speaker, and a slash through it, Ghostbusters style) does nothing to affect this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then it says In Standby, hit Mute to exit.  Rinse and repeat, eventually it stops. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am at the 4.5.x firmware, latest Tmobile offers for this device last I checked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also had seen where I would be working, and the data indicator goes from EDGE to edge, indicating bad data connection, and won't come back till I pull the battery and reset.  I have tried turning off the radio, the wifi, and turning back on, no success.  Only a battery pull matters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Support said to get a new SIM card since mine was 18 months old.  Did that two months ago.  Updated from the 4.1 (or was it 4.3) to 4.5 software.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That seemed to help and reduce the frequency, but it continued to happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any thoughts?

It's just how people tend to react when asked for more than they are willing to provide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Steve Krug, in his book *Don't make me think*&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, has a template mail (a usability researcher can send to his boss) that details the problems (p. 182f.):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Anyone who uses the Web has run into this many times: You decide to subscribe to an email newsletter (or request a free sample, register a product, or create an account). Anything that involves you providing information about yourself and getting something in return.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You click &quot;Subscribe&quot; and a form appears. It looks longer than you expected, and you quickly discover why. For no good reason, you're being asked to provide your mailing address. And your phone number. And your occupation. Suddenly, quick task has become a project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Usability professionals have a technical term for this practice. It's what we call &quot;a very bad idea.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I can understand that it's tempting to try to get as much personal data as you can, given the uses you can put it to. The problem is that people filling in any kind of form on the Web are always asking themselves, &quot;Why are they asking me for this piece of information? Do they really need it to give me what I want?&quot; If the answer is no, then the next question is, &quot;Then what do they want it for?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In most people's minds there are only two possible explanations: either (a) you're so clueless about the Web that you don't know that they find this offensive, or (b) you do know, but you want the information badly for some other purpose, and you don't mind offending them to get it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; As a result, there are three serious downsides to asking for more than what you need:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * **It tends to keep you from getting real data.** As soon as people realize you're asking for more than you need, they feel completely justified in lying to you. I often tell my clients that email addresses are like heroin to marketing people—so addictive that it doesn't strike them as odd that 10 % of their subscribers happen to be named &quot;Barney Rubble.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * **You get fewer completed forms.** The formula is simple: the less data you ask for, the more submissions you'll get. People tend to be in an enormous hurry on the Web, and if the form looks even a little bit longer than they expect, many just won't bother.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * ** It makes you look bad.** People who really want your newsletter may jump through whatever hoops they have to, but make no mistake: it will diminish their impression of you while they're doing it. On the other hand, if you only ask for the information you need, you've established a relationship with them and can get more data later in subsequent exchanges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, based on that I'd really say it's not your fault if you're providing false or rubbish data, it's more a case of a clueless site designer or manager somewhere ignoring some general thruths about how people work and behave on the Web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I certainly won't feel bad giving companies an @spamgourmet.com email address, a name like &quot;nklsdr&quot; and a birth date somewhen in 1782.

It's just how people tend to react when asked for more than they are willing to provide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Steve Krug, in his book *Don't make me think*&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, has a template mail (a usability researcher can send to his boss) that details the problems (p. 182f.):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Anyone who uses the Web has run into this many times: You decide to subscribe to an email newsletter (or request a free sample, register a product, or create an account). Anything that involves you providing information about yourself and getting something in return.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You click &quot;Subscribe&quot; and a form appears. It looks longer than you expected, and you quickly discover why. For no good reason, you're being asked to provide your mailing address. And your phone number. And your occupation. Suddenly, quick task has become a project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Usability professionals have a technical term for this practice. It's what we call &quot;a very bad idea.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I can understand that it's tempting to try to get as much personal data as you can, given the uses you can put it to. The problem is that people filling in any kind of form on the Web are always asking themselves, &quot;Why are they asking me for this piece of information? Do they really need it to give me what I want?&quot; If the answer is no, then the next question is, &quot;Then what do they want it for?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In most people's minds there are only two possible explanations: either (a) you're so clueless about the Web that you don't know that they find this offensive, or (b) you do know, but you want the information badly for some other purpose, and you don't mind offending them to get it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; As a result, there are three serious downsides to asking for more than what you need:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * **It tends to keep you from getting real data.** As soon as people realize you're asking for more than you need, they feel completely justified in lying to you. I often tell my clients that email addresses are like heroin to marketing people—so addictive that it doesn't strike them as odd that 10 % of their subscribers happen to be named &quot;Barney Rubble.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * **You get fewer completed forms.** The formula is simple: the less data you ask for, the more submissions you'll get. People tend to be in an enormous hurry on the Web, and if the form looks even a little bit longer than they expect, many just won't bother.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * **It makes you look bad.** People who really want your newsletter may jump through whatever hoops they have to, but make no mistake: it will diminish their impression of you while they're doing it. On the other hand, if you only ask for the information you need, you've established a relationship with them and can get more data later in subsequent exchanges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, based on that I'd really say you don't need to feel wrong or unethical if you're providing false or rubbish data, it's more a case of a clueless site designer or manager somewhere ignoring some general thruths about how people work and behave on the Web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I certainly won't feel bad giving companies an @spamgourmet.com email address, a name like &quot;nklsdr&quot; and a birth date somewhen in 1782. They asked for it, after all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Steve Krug: *Don't make me think: A common-sense approach to Web usability.* Second edition, New Riders, Berkeley 2006." />

I've heard it be somewhere in the area of 100,000 writes and 500,000 writes.  It's probably the latter.  The problem with using ext4 or ext3 is that they're journaling filesystems.  This means that the data is transferred to the storage device, stored there and then written to the proper place on the storage device.  This way, if the full write is incomplete and the computer crashes, the storage device has a copy and can continue writing.  This will reduce the lifespan of your flash drive, specifically, whatever part is being used as the journal.  I would recommend using a non-journaling filesystem for this purpose, such as ext2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't had a USB drive get corrupted.  The write limit I mentioned above was per memory unit.  With that being said, they build in backup memory units to be used when one dies.  On top of that, even the low end estimate I heard, 100,000 writes, will take a while to reach.  If you wrote to 1 memory unit 8 times per day every day, it would take over 30 years to kill a memory unit.  With that being said, sometimes Live-USB installs will use a portion of the USB stick as memory if the system doesn't have enough RAM or if it is unsure of how much RAM it will have access to later, although this is almost always just done with Live-CDs to simulate saving data such as web browser history.  Since this is a Live-USB, it can just save that data permanently.  With all that being said, keep in mind that a memory unit isn't a single byte, but some number of bytes which is determined when the flash drive was designed.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I myself have had problems partitioning a USB drive, but it is possible." />

Which use an electromagnetic induction method to power and detect the position of the pen. Wacom tablets have a very high dpi (&gt;1000) compared to the screens on touch phones or pda's which use conventional touch screen technology and have a substatially lower dpi.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [What is the electromagnetic induction&#xD;&#xA;&gt; method?][1]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This method refers to the patented pen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; input and tablet technology, the only&#xD;&#xA;&gt; one of its kind in the world which&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enables battery-free and cordless&#xD;&#xA;&gt; input operation. (Mechanism) The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tablet forms a magnetic field on its&#xD;&#xA;&gt; surface (electromagnetic field), in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which the electronic pen moves. When&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it moves, electricity runs through the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; coil inside the pen. The tablet then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; receives inductive signals generated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by the magnetic field formed on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; pen side (induction). By repeating the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; process a number of times in a short&#xD;&#xA;&gt; time, the pen's paths are smoothly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; read by the tablet. The electronic pen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is capable of detecting the force&#xD;&#xA;&gt; exerted on it and the tilted angle,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thereby enabling differences in line&#xD;&#xA;&gt; widths and color gradation to be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; displayed. Another notable feature is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that an eraser can be added to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; pen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.wacom.co.jp/corporate/en/ir/faq.html#22" />

These machines had P3 chips in them, so cooling was somewat easier than a modern system, but many of the issues still apply - the machines had to be small and quiet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the parts were recycled from my existing desktop machines at the time.  Essentially I was downsizing my computers.  Some things I used:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Quiet CPU fans (in this case from Molex, but many outfits make quiet PC fans now).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - CPUs that didn't draw much power, in this case the existing P3 chips from my other machines.  Most modern CPU lines come in low power versions.  They are often a bit more expensive and not as fast as the top-of-the-line model, but the speed is usually not much slower.  You could also look into something based on an Intel Atom, which should run cool enough for a passive cooling system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I Picked a specific motherboard (in this case an Asus CUV4X).  This was mainly to get a micro-ATX form factor as the machines were going into small footprint cases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The existing hard drives I already had.  Modern hard disks don't make all that much noise - much less than high speed fans.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The existing memory, floppy drives, CD/DVD drives and other components I already had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Low RPM fans where I had to.  In this case I didn't actually have to change the case or PSU fans as they were quiet enough.  The only fans I had to change were the CPU fans.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Video cards with passive cooling, in particular a Matrox G550.  You can get passively cooled cards with reasonable performance for anything short of a top-line gaming rig.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Rounded cables to minimise the interference with airflow in the case (remember these were small cases with relatively slow fans).  I also got some adhesive backed anchors and used ties to keep the cabling tidy and out of the airflow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cooling and soundproofing technology has gotten a bit more mainstream these days.  You can get quite a variety of kit from [QuietPC][1] and various other outfits now (I got my CPU fans from there).  Quiet and passive (fanless) cooling solutions, liquid cooling and soundproofing materials are all readily available now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I got quite acceptable noise levels from the fairly basic setups I built there.  You can build more elaborate solutions with the application of more money but there's no point in paying for stuff you don't need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These were the last machines I built and were essentially small footprint rebuilds of machines I already had.  They were fairly cheap to make - I bought CPU fans, cables, two motherboards and one secondhand graphics card.  I could also re-sell the old motherboards and cases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.quietpc.com" />

Text="I only have answers for the last 3 questions (I don't have professional experience with booting from flash drives).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Someone else mentioned that there are concerns about write cycles on flash drives.  I've heard it be somewhere in the area of 100,000 writes and 500,000 writes.  It's probably the latter.  The problem with using ext4 or ext3 is that they're journaling filesystems.  This means that the data is transferred to the storage device, stored there and then written to the proper place on the storage device.  This way, if the full write is incomplete and the computer crashes, the storage device has a copy and can continue writing.  This will reduce the lifespan of your flash drive, specifically, whatever part is being used as the journal.  I would recommend using a non-journaling filesystem for this purpose, such as ext2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't had a USB drive get corrupted.  The write limit I mentioned above was per memory unit.  With that being said, they build in backup memory units to be used when one dies.  On top of that, even the low end estimate I heard, 100,000 writes, will take a while to reach.  If you wrote to 1 memory unit 8 times per day every day, it would take over 30 years to kill a memory unit.  With that being said, sometimes Live-USB installs will use a portion of the USB stick as memory if the system doesn't have enough RAM or if it is unsure of how much RAM it will have access to later, although this is almost always just done with Live-CDs to simulate saving data such as web browser history.  Since this is a Live-USB, it can just save that data permanently.  With all that being said, keep in mind that a memory unit isn't a single byte, but some number of bytes which is determined when the flash drive was designed.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I myself have had problems partitioning a USB drive, but it is possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;CORRECTION: In the second portion I refer to a process by which a flash drive uses itself for RAM and then refer to something similar for Live-CDs.  For Live-CDs, they use what's called a RAMdrive where they use the system's RAM as a virtual hard disk to &quot;save&quot; files such as browser history.  What I described for flash drives may not actually exist.  It may have been a small bit of confusion on my part (I'm in college and am not fully awake yet) where I was thinking of Vista's readyboost.  Sorry for the bad information." />

Generally, lower is better, however, it's not always true, as the separate numbers have an effect on each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can think of this as basically a measure of how &quot;quick&quot; the memory is, as opposed to how &quot;fast&quot; it is.   It's basically the delay before actions can get started.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because the numbers measure clock cycles, remember that lower timings don't necessarily mean faster access times.   Memory running at 100mhz with a timing of 2-2-2-5 will have effectively slower timings than memory running at 400mhz with a timing of 5-5-5-15 for example (even though it takes 5 clocks rather than 2 clocks, it cycles 4x faster).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall **don't worry about it too much**.   Frankly, you probably are never going to notice the difference between different timings.   The only reason you'd want to worry about it is if you are a benchmarking/overclocking enthusiast.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are just looking for a fast PC, and you aren't a big tweaker, you should buy well-reviewed, reliable RAM that comes at a good price.   **Invest that money you save by not buying low-timing memory in components that will make a bigger speed difference.**" />

It has a lot of small tweaks to usability and visuals that just make it feel a lot nicer.   It has some great window management features, and the new taskbar is a pretty good improvement.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plus, the speed issue is a big deal for people, but frankly I didn't notice much difference (outside of startup time, which is a lot faster).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't really have a fast PC, it's a few years old (Core 2 Duo E6600), and Vista has never felt slow to me, so I didn't really notice any big speed changes in Win7.   I do have 8GB of memory though (for software development), so I think that is probably why I never had problems with memory-hungry Vista.    Frankly I think Vista isn't really all so slow, it just needs a lot of memory (and ANYTHING gets really slow when you have to go to the disk often)." />

The rebuilds are often not trouble free and the rest of the PC is a bunch of single points of failure, many of which can trash the disk anyway - memory, power, motherboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The RAID controller is a single point of failure.  If it goes you have to be able to replace it with the same or compatible controller or you lose the array anyway.   If it's a motherboard controller are you going to be able to get a compatible replacement in 2 years time?  Assuming it didn't take the array with in when it failed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;RAID isn't a backup strategy - there's no substitute for real backups.

Essentially, the processor has to wait a certain amount of time before an access, and then pulls that data at a certain bandwidth (which is a separate measure, like 8.4GB/s). You want the lowest possible latency timings (2-2-2-5 would be awesome) and the highest possible bandwidth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as the w-x-y-z times go, **w** is CAS latency, **x** is tRCD, **y** is tRP, and **z** is tRAS. These are each different latencies for different operations, and I forget what's tRCD, tRP, and what's what.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are an enthusiast and you care, then the most important value is the CAS latency **w**. Again, low is best. For the next two numbers: neither is very important in my experience. Lastly, tRAS (**z**) is important to set within a certain tolerance range; essentially unless it has an extreme value it makes little difference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, these timings are not vital to performance any more. I would not configure them myself (unless I knew what I was doing) because you are more likely to make your system unstable than to improve performance by &gt; 1%.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My recommendation is simply to buy the highest clock rate memory that is available for your given memory generation (DDR2, DDR3, etc.) -- that with the greatest MHz, which maximizes bandwidth. Then let the motherboard choose memory timings." />

Now I am trying to virtualize the natively installed Vista via Parallels 4. I am not planning to migrate Vista into a virtual machine completely, rather I want to use Vista natively when performance does matter and virtually otherwise. I.e. checking if code compiles within Visual Studio (virtually) vs. running extensive performance tests (natively). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My questions: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happens when I activate Vista a second time for my virtual HW (which seems  to be mandatory)? Will the first activation be overwritten or does Vista provide an option for running one installation with several CPUs/Configs (e.g. an installation on an external drive)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone has experience with such a native/virtual setup? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for any answer, hints, comments!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update**: After installing, there were 3 days left for activation. Those days were counted down until the 1 day warning. One day later, the deadline for activation is set back to 3 days.

Text="When working in a noisy office I used Etymotic iR6 in-ear headphones, also great for trains and such.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Appropriate for a private office, my favorite headphones so far were of the full size open type. These sound better than sealed ones every single time. Someone actually asked me: &quot;What do you mean? All the studios use sealed ones, and the best and most expensive headphones are sealed.&quot; There's a very simple reason for this, in a studio you don't want the microphone to pick up the sound from the headphones, so they're sealed. They're more expensive because it's hard to get good sound reproduction inside a tiny echo chamber, but more cost isn't the same as a better product.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So find some open headphones. My personal suggestion is some BeyerDynamic in the $99-$125 range. My model is no longer made or sold, so I won't bother you with a model. One plus is that as long as it's in production and a 10 year support period there after you can order extra parts like [padding][1]. The only drawback of full size, is the weight, and sometimes, the heat. It's just not a good idea to use any type of headphone for more than a 3 or 4 hours a day.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Normally I would recommend trying them, but having gone to J&amp;R and B&amp;H I found all the test models to be worn out, overly high volume with no controls, and just plain hard to compare. It did quickly let me notice the models that artificially boost the bass, which I don't like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-manufacturer/beyerdynamic/beyerdynamic-dt770-velour-earpads.php" />

If you're worried about your computer catching on fire, your house catching on fire or your computer being stolen, then having an external or removable backup drive that you can put in a fire safe, and/or two drives you can rotate weekly between home and elsewhere will greatly decrease the likelihood of losing data.

You want to use two functions [os.walk][1], and [fnmatch.fnmatch][2] to match the files you want in each directory.  It looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/usr/bin/env python&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    import os, sys&#xD;&#xA;    from fnmatch import fnmatch&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    if len(sys.argv) != 2:&#xD;&#xA;        print &quot;Usage:&quot;, sys.argv[0], &quot;&lt;directory&gt;&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        sys.exit()&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    markdown = # &lt;path to markdown.py&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    directory = sys.argv[1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    for path, directory, files in os.walk(directory):&#xD;&#xA;        for file in files:&#xD;&#xA;            if fnmatch(file, &quot;*.html&quot;):&#xD;&#xA;                html_file = &quot;%s/%s&quot; % (path, file)&#xD;&#xA;                markdown_file = html_file.replace(&quot;.html&quot;, &quot;.markdown&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;                os.system(&quot;python %s %s &gt; %s&quot; % (markdown, markdown_file, html_file))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main things to take away:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The `os.walk` function traverses a directory structure (using an generator).  It returns three variables:&#xD;&#xA;   - The current directory (`path`)&#xD;&#xA;   - The list of directories found in the current directory (`directories`).  You don't need this in this case.&#xD;&#xA;   - The list of files found in the current directory (`files`).  You *do* need this.&#xD;&#xA; - The `fnmatch.fnmatch` function takes a list of files and tells you if it matches a pattern.  This is a shell &quot;glob&quot; pattern, and not a regular expression.  You can use regular expressions here, but `fnmatch` is just easier for a simple case like this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that you need to specify the path to the markdown script.  Even better would be to not use `os.system` but instead to import markdown the module and call it's primary function, but this generalizes to non-Python programs.  (Plus, I don't know exactly what that function would be :).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.walk&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://docs.python.org/library/fnmatch.html#fnmatch.fnmatch" />

This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was locking up my computer after it happened. I ran the ScanDisk/chkdsk XP equivalent error-checking tool. I ran a virus scan which seemed to pick up a few things. And, I swapped the power cable connected to the drive. After all this, the problem seemed to go away.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Today, similar issues have come back. The computer has even locked up on boot at the Windows log-in screen several times. I believe the computer is losing its connection to the drive somehow. Once, XP didn't even recognize the drive. I did notice before that the drive was not showing its name in the Device Manager. It just showed something generic like &quot;Disk Drive&quot;. I currently have it unplugged so I can boot my machine without it locking up. Are these symptoms of a failing hard drive?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My other thought was that the PSU is failing or doesn't have enough power. Is this a possibility? The PSU is probably over six years old now. Most other parts have been swapped out at this point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The drive is a 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620A, and it's been working fine for about a year. I got a new CPU and had to replace the motherboard about six months ago.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit**: I finally found another PSU to test with, and I'm pretty sure it isn't that now. I've found that I'm able to pick off a few files under linux before the drive stops working. It doesn't like to copy large or multiple files. Maybe a sign of bad sectors as has been mentioned in several answers already?" />

It is highly recommended to leave the paths as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Second, upload the public key to the remote server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, `seahorse` can often do that for you - in *My Personal Keys*, right-click on your SSH key and choose **Configure key for secure shell**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here's the terminal way, step by step:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. On the remote server, create a folder `.ssh` in your home directory.&#xD;&#xA;2. In that directory, create a file named `authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;3. Copy your **public** key (contents of `id_rsa.pub`) to the remote `authorized_keys` file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short version: `scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remoteserver:.ssh/authorized_keys`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Third, load the key into `ssh-agent`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you load your private key into an agent, it will hold the decrypted key in memory. Otherwise, you would have have to enter the key's passphrase every time you connect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To load the key, run &lt;pre&gt;ssh-add&lt;/pre&gt; and enter the key's passphrase. (If your key is *not* in the default location `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, you will need to provide the full path. For example, `ssh-add ~/my-ssh-key`)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If `ssh-add` says &quot;Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.&quot;, then you don't have a SSH agent running. Launch one using this command: &lt;pre&gt;eval $(ssh-agent)&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are using GNOME, `gnome-keyring-daemon` usually provides the same SSH agent functionality as `ssh-agent`, so you should not need to start anything. GNOME will automatically load and unlock the key on login, too. (I don't use KDE, so I don't know anything about that.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Fourth, run `ssh` to connect to the remote server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you loaded your key into the agent as described in step three, `ssh` will automatically use it. Otherwise, it will try to use `~/.ssh/id_rsa`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Both `scp` and `sftp`, which use ssh to connect, can use the key too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. You only need a SSHv2 key, as SSHv1 is very insecure and now unused.&#xD;&#xA;1. You also only need one type of key - either RSA or DSA is enough.&#xD;&#xA;2. All these steps are the same for both RSA and DSA keys. If you use DSA, use `id_dsa` instead of `id_rsa`. But then, if you care enough to know the difference, you probably have figured that out too.&#xD;&#xA;3. Some old OpenSSH versions require the file to be `authorized_keys`**`2`** - but those are rare." />

Your laptop (or other battery powered device) has a safe range of voltages it will operate at.  Too high and it gets fried, too low and the capacitors cannot maintain a charge so it looses power (which can actually be more damaging then too high of a voltage).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the way a laptop determines how much juice is left is by checking the voltage that the battery is putting out.  Of course it is significantly more complicated then that.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A &quot;battery&quot; is actually a collection of cells.  For example a 1.5v AAA is a single cell, but a 9v is actually a battery containing Six 1.5v AAAA (slightly smaller then a AAA).  6 x 1.5 = 9V.  So a laptop battery is a collection of multiple cells.  Most laptop batteries have circuitry internally to monitor and regulate each individual cell.  The long charge life and number of recharges from a modern battery comes from both the chemical material (metals and acids usually) in the individual cells and the circuitry that regulates it all.  Some laptop batteries even have built in charge meters.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you look at a laptop battery you will see it has multiple metal connectors on it.  Typically one is positive, one is negative, one is neutral, and then the remaining ones are used to communicate charge information to the computer.  Thanks to all of this circuitry it actually maintains a fairly even voltage throughout the lifetime of the battery.  When it finally is not able to maintain voltage it signals the laptop to shut off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now your battery can only say how much juice it has left.  The computer on the other hand can take that information and look at how long it has been operating on that battery and possibly what the current power consumption profile is to extrapolate the how much time is left in the battery.  This of course can change if you start burning a DVD or adjust your LCD brightness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what about hacking this to do it with a UPS?  Well, most UPS's actually have a pretty simple battery similar to what you would find in a car, but much smaller (depending on the UPS).  The UPS itself has the circuitry to transform that voltage (usually 12v) to what you computer is taking (usually 110v) and then kill the power when it is no longer able to maintain appropriate voltage.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most higher quality UPSs have a serial or USB connector that you can run into your computer.  Since about Windows 98 the OS has had a built in indicator to handle the information provided by the UPS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as hacking this, assuming your UPS does not have any reporting connector then you could rig up your own volt meter that samples the battery at regular intervals (each sample will use up some juice, so don't sample too often!)  You would need to run your computer off the UPS and monitor the battery's voltage to see what is its safe range.  Once you have that, then you can feed that information to your computer.  Serial is a pretty simple protocol, or you might be able to use X10 or some other instrumentation monitoring hardware.  Your software could then use the base line you established earlier to see how long until your battery drops below the safe voltage and the UPS cuts power.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sounds like a fun project.  Here is an outline on what you need:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Periodic sampling voltmeter&#xD;&#xA; 2. Ability to report readings to computer (serial or USB most likely)&#xD;&#xA; 3. Software to monitor reported information.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Baseline of what your safe voltage is on your battery. &#xD;&#xA; 5. A bonus would be to determine the current power profile and consumption to adjust the estimates.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Some way to display the estimated time remaining to the user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!  Let us know how it goes.  For practicality you might find it better to upgrade to a UPS that has a status port.  But that wouldn't be near as much fun now would it!" />

These machines had P3 chips in them, so cooling was somewat easier than a modern system, but many of the issues still apply - the machines had to be small and quiet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the parts were recycled from my existing desktop machines at the time.  Essentially I was downsizing my computers.  Some things I used:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Quiet CPU fans (in this case from Molex, but many outfits make quiet PC fans now).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - CPUs that didn't draw much power, in this case the existing P3 chips from my other machines.  Most modern CPU lines come in low power versions.  They are often a bit more expensive and not as fast as the top-of-the-line model, but the speed is usually not much slower.  You could also look into something based on an Intel Atom, which should run cool enough for a passive cooling system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I picked a specific motherboard (in this case an Asus CUV4X-M).  This was mainly to get a micro-ATX form factor as the machines were going into small footprint cases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The existing hard drives I already had.  Modern hard disks don't make all that much noise - much less than high speed fans.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The existing memory, floppy drives, CD/DVD drives and other components I already had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Low RPM fans where I had to.  In this case I didn't actually have to change the case or PSU fans as they were quiet enough.  The only fans I had to change were the CPU fans.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Video cards with passive cooling, in particular a Matrox G550.  You can get passively cooled cards with reasonable performance for anything short of a top-line gaming rig.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Rounded cables to minimise the interference with airflow in the case (remember these were small cases with relatively slow fans).  I also got some adhesive backed anchors and used ties to keep the cabling tidy and out of the airflow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cooling and soundproofing technology has gotten a bit more mainstream these days.  You can get quite a variety of kit from [QuietPC][1] and various other outfits now (I got my CPU fans from there).  Quiet and passive (fanless) cooling solutions, liquid cooling and soundproofing materials are all readily available now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I got quite acceptable noise levels from the fairly basic setups I built there.  You can build more elaborate solutions with the application of more money but there's no point in paying for stuff you don't need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These were the last machines I built and were essentially small footprint rebuilds of machines I already had.  They were fairly cheap to make - I bought CPU fans, cables, two motherboards and one secondhand graphics card.  I could also re-sell the old motherboards and cases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.quietpc.com" />

If I changed the settings to manual and switched the setting to &lt;b&gt;1000BaseT&lt;/b&gt;, the speed picked back up again. So, without knowing much about this kind of thing, I'm guessing that something causes the laptop to think it has to connect to the network at a slower speed than the max it can do. Manually changing this speed gets things working quickly again, so for the time being I've just left the laptop configured 'manually' to be 1000BaseT. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interestingly this doesn't seem to be causing any problems with my home network either (which is another Airport Extreme and a little 5-port DLink autosensing switch).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this isn't really an answer in the sense that it's an explanation, but as a work-around I'm happy. :-)&#xD;&#xA;" />

Text="***Edit:** After a few days of using the method I originally posted, I discovered that the `RealTimeIsUniversal` flag, as an unmaintained leftover from Windows NT, is actually pretty flaky and impractical in general. Every so often, at seemingly random intervals, the Windows clock would revert from UTC to local time, which was extremely annoying (and resulted in a few git commits that look like they're from the future in the commit log). This led me to search for another fix…*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, the problem is that, as John Fouhy mentioned in a comment, Windows keeps the clock in local time, while OS X keeps the clock at UTC, using the specified timezone as a modifier to give the correct time. In order to fix this, one of the operating systems will have to bend over backwards and keep track of time using the other system's method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the most reliable method I've found to fix this issue so far is to basically make OS X switch its clock to local time from UTC whenever it shuts down and then switch it back whenever it starts up. The exact method for doing this can be found [on the OSx86 project wiki][1], interestingly enough. (A little note: there's some stuff that appears to be OSx86-specific, namely the LaunchDaemon plist for the Leopard instructions. However, I tried out the Leopard method verbatim on my MacBook Pro, and it works just fine. In other words, just follow the directions exactly as written, and don't mind any references to OSx86 in the files—they're irrelevant.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Here is the old solution, if you want to try it out. Be warned though: this was never updated to work correctly with newer versions of Windows, as I found out the hard way…*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another way of syncing the clocks is to force Windows to use UTC through a registry hack (a trick I found [from Mac OS X Hints][2]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Launch RegEdit (**Start -&gt; Run...**, type in `regedit`)&#xD;&#xA;2. Navigate to &quot;`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation`&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;3. From the **Edit** menu, choose **New -&gt; DWORD Value**.&#xD;&#xA;4. Name this value &quot;`RealTimeIsUniversal`&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;5. Double-click on `RealTimeIsUniversal`, and enter `1` for the value data.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next time you boot into Windows, the clock should match the Mac OS X clock, and you can still have the Windows timezone match the timezone set in Mac OS X.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Tips_And_Tricks#Use_Localtime_instead_of_Universal_for_RTC&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006072022590888" />

(You say you aren't worried about turnaround time, but seriously it could take months or years. Bear in mind, even if you have a super fast broadband connection, a low-cost service provider is not going to want you to tie up their whole bandwidth). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also how much data will change. For example, if only 1 percentage of this data changes per day, it would still be possible for the daily backup to take more than 1 day to upload  (or the weekly backup to take more than a week). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The provider we use at work (which isn't low-cost) asked us to perform an initial seed backup onto disk and ship the actual disk to them and then they only upload the changes to themselves and this was for a small (50Gb) backup. If we need a restore, then will ship a disk back to us. Not all low-cost providers provide this service, but it would be essential if you are talking about terabytes. Which raises another issue. 50Gb is easily shipped on say removable disk, but 5TB isn't quite as simple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem as far as low-cost providers is concerned, is that they don't know how much it is going to cost them. If the data changes very infrequently, it might be possible for them to make money without charging you too much, but if the data changes a lot they might lose money. Hence they stay away from those accounts. And because they stay away from them, they don't really know how much they need to charge to be profitable. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a personal note, I was using a online storage which advertised themselves as unlimited. Now I am not so naive, as to have thought they really meant unlimited, and as the service only cost about $50 per year,so I didn't really expect much of it, but their idea of what is acceptable is a lot lower than mine. I did wonder if they would stop me about 100Gb or allow me a Terabyte. (Their webfolders access site had a little fuel-gauge control to show how much storage I had used and this seemed to be scaled against 1000Gb, so I was hopeful, but not confident. In they end I did not even get to the 100Gb mark and they ask me to reduce my usage to about 10GB!. (I decide to close the account instead).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The cheapest provider I know, that will accept this amount of data is Amazon S3, but that will probably cost around the $1000 per month, which I assume is too much. The amount of  storage I have is way less than that, but I only use Amazon for vital stuff. The rest of the items I have on removable storage disks at both home and work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I would agree with mas, copy it to several external USB2/SATA/Firewire and leave it with someone you trust.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want an automated backup, then there is a possible alternative, if you have someone you trust that will storage a computer for you and allow you to use their bandwidth and electricity, would be something like Ahsay's backup software (see http://www.ahsay.com). You can install their software on a cheap NAS box and backup to that across the internet. As I understand it their software is free if you are backing up just 1 or 2 computers. (Haven't tried the free version, but this is the software we use at work.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Anything you put elsewhere on the PC might be visible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the physical level it's unlikely to happen but certainly not hard to clone the hard drive and then browse through the files depending on how well secured your environment is. Alternatively if the system has an optical\USB drive that can boot the system he could boot to one of many Live-CD based environment that would allow him to mount the internal hard drive and browse to the files relevant to your user account. Analysing your Firefox browsing history from that is simple but accessing passwords should be much harder provided you have chosen to set a master password within the firefox password manager. A sufficiently complex master password in Firefox should be enough to protect personal passwords but I haven't researched this extensively so there might be ways to attack that. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Systems admins in your environment can also gain access to your personal files but generally if that happens you should be informed about it (eventually).

Anything you put elsewhere on the PC might be visible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the physical level it's unlikely to happen but certainly not hard to clone the hard drive and then browse through the files depending on how well secured your environment is. Alternatively if the system has an optical\USB drive that can boot the system he could boot to one of many Live-CD based environment that would allow him to mount the internal hard drive and browse to the files relevant to your user account. Analysing your Firefox browsing history from that is simple but accessing passwords should be much harder provided you have chosen to set a master password within the firefox password manager. A sufficiently complex master password in Firefox should be enough to protect personal passwords but I haven't researched this extensively so there might be ways to attack that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Systems admins in your environment can also gain access to your personal files but generally if that happens you should be informed about it (eventually).

[XDA-Developers.com][1] is a good place to start. While nowhere near as healthy as the iPhone App environment today the Windows Mobile app environment is undoubtedly freer and far more open. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking from a Systems Management perspective I spent a lot of time working with various phone architectures\OS's up to about 2 years ago. At that point Apple was the most closed, the various Linux based systems were generally the next hardest for us to take control of (in the sense of writing apps and installing them), Nokia and the rest of the Symbians were quite a bit better but with Windows Mobile we rarely had any significant trouble developing the apps we needed to and deploying them. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Microsoft have moved to a more restrictive approach recently and the full development environments are no longer free (in the commercial sense) but if you want a phone that you can quickly and easily write and install general purpose apps for it is probably still one of the easiest - Android is certainly the cheapest and most open environment for developing user apps but I wouldn't be surprised if Windows Mobile remains the easiest for anyone interest in getting closer to the hardware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://xda-developers.com/&#xD;&#xA;" />

One accepts this when viewing the original on paper, but not when viewing on screen, or when reproduced in higher quality print.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In Photoshop (sorry, not familiar with the Gimp, but I'm sure it's a similar process), I add a Levels adjustment layer to avoid altering the original pixel values, and then use the white point and black point sliders to &quot;clip&quot; the lightest and darkest points of the image to pure white and black. There's are eyedropper tools in the dialog for setting these points by sampling from the image, but it's easier to adjust the sliders manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Depending on context, I might add the paper colour back in as a a very light grey underlying layer, then set the scan layer's blending mode to &quot;Multiply&quot;.

The GPL is the most free (as in speech) license when it comes to any kind of phone OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Google Android**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Android][1] is released under the [Apache license][2], the reason being so that they can use the open source code without having to turn proprietary enhancements back over to the open source community. Therefore this is a slightly less free OS than Linux, yet still gives you more freedom than others. Basically handset makers are free to use Android without any payments from Google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Symbian OS**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This OS is used phones mainly from Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola. It has been a very popular OS for the past decade (about 50-60% of phones use it).  Nokia and others have taken the Symbian OS open source recently. Probably due to the pressure they feel from Android. The Symbian Foundation was developed with the goal of creating an open and free OS for phones. The OS does not require royalties and is released under the [Eclipse Public License][3]. Handset makers are also free to use Android with any payments from Google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Apple iPhone OS X**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[iPhone OS X][4] is one of the most 'unfree' OSes according to your requirements but it has the most features and nicest interface so yeah if that isn't important to you then I would definitely recommend a Linux variant over an iPhone. Compatible with Mac OS X and Windows OSes. You are bound to the iPhone software license ([PDF link][5]). This OS is not available to third party handset makers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Rim Blackberry**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Blackberry is just as closed and proprietary as the iPhone OS, yet it lacks a lot of features of the iPhone OS so I am putting this low on my list. Having said that the Blackberry does have a lot of features and isn't such a bad phone but it is suited more for business use. The [Blackberry software license][6] applies. This OS is not available to third party handset makers, basically the same as Apple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Windows Mobile**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My experience with Windows Mobile devices have been that they are buggy and crash a lot and you don't get much more proprietary, closed and license restricted than a product from Microsoft. Microsoft gear all their software to lock you into Windows/Office and basically every other Microsoft product. Not compatible with Mac OS or Linux. This OS is available to third party handset makers for a licensing fee.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With Microsoft products you have a very high chance of being locked into proprietary formats such as WMA, Word, Excel and WMV. Apple at least use MP4 which is a royalty free video format unlike WMV. I could go on with this but the point is that Microsoft are well known to be the most untrusted company in the tech industry over the past 25 years, with more anti-trust lawsuits that any other. I would avoid this company more than any other if you are looking for freedom.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all if you can live with the Apache license, I would recommend that you look at buying an Android based phone. They are very 'free as in speech' commercially available phones and hey if you don't like Android, I'm pretty sure there are Linux OSes that you can just install over the top. While [Linux based phones][7] are more free, I would go with Android for the apps and features as they are generally not quite as nice as their Linux counterparts (Yes Android is a linux based OS, but I separate it out because it has backing from Google meaning it has a  focused direction and isn't a home brew OS that moves at a snail's pace of development.

Every so often, at seemingly random intervals, the Windows clock would revert from UTC to local time, which was extremely annoying (and resulted in a few git commits that look like they're from the future in the commit log). This led me to search for another fix…*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, the problem is that, as John Fouhy mentioned in a comment, Windows keeps the clock in local time, while OS X keeps the clock at UTC (using the specified timezone as a modifier to give the correct time). In order to fix this, one of the operating systems will have to bend over backwards and keep track of time using the other system's method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the most reliable method I've found to fix this issue so far is to basically make OS X switch its clock to local time from UTC whenever it shuts down and then switch it back whenever it starts up. The exact method for doing this can be found [on the OSx86 project wiki][1], interestingly enough. (A little note: there's some stuff that appears to be OSx86-specific, namely the LaunchDaemon plist for the Leopard instructions. However, I tried out the Leopard method verbatim on my MacBook Pro, and it works just fine. In other words, just follow the directions exactly as written, and don't mind any references to OSx86 in the files—they're irrelevant.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Here is the old solution, if you want to try it out. Be warned though: this was never updated to work correctly with newer versions of Windows, so it's very unreliable, as I found out the hard way…*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another way of syncing the clocks is to force Windows to use UTC through a registry hack (a trick I found [from Mac OS X Hints][2]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Launch RegEdit (**Start -&gt; Run...**, type in `regedit`)&#xD;&#xA;2. Navigate to &quot;`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation`&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;3. From the **Edit** menu, choose **New -&gt; DWORD Value**.&#xD;&#xA;4. Name this value &quot;`RealTimeIsUniversal`&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;5. Double-click on `RealTimeIsUniversal`, and enter `1` for the value data.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next time you boot into Windows, the clock should match the Mac OS X clock, and you can still have the Windows timezone match the timezone set in Mac OS X.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Tips_And_Tricks#Use_Localtime_instead_of_Universal_for_RTC&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006072022590888" />

It seems to play fine on PCs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the problem may be to do with interlacing settings when rendering the final output, but I'll outline the whole editing process I have followed in case I've made a mistake somewhere else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the footage comes from a sony handy cam (one of those mini DVD ones) so isn't great quality. It was set to &quot;high quality&quot; (haha) and 16:9 aspect ratio when it was recorded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I copy the files directly from the mini DVDs onto the hard drive and import them into Cinelerra. In Cinelerra I set the format to 25fps, 720x576, RGBA-8bit, 16:9, interlaced bottom fields first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I've finished the editing, I add a Fields to frames effect (set to bottom first) to each video track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I render to audio and video separately:  &#xD;&#xA;Audio: AC3, 128kbps  &#xD;&#xA;Video: YUV4MPEG steam,  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;video pipe settings:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -flags +ilme+ildct mpeg2video %  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cinelerra often crashes during the rendering, so I set it to generate a new video file at each label, and combine them using cat when I've got a sucesful render of each one. Once I've combined them, I use mencoder to re-index them:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy merged.m2v -o mergedReIndexed.m2v&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I combine the audio and video files using ffmpeg:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ffmpeg -i AudioFile.ac3 -i VideoFile.m2v -target dvd -flags +ilme+ildct FinalMovie.mpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then I build the menus with spumux and I create the DVD file system with dvdauthor, and finally I write it do a dvd-r like this:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    nice -n -20 growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video -V VIDEO ./ &amp;&amp; eject /dev/dvd&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Originally, when I did it the DVD flickered badly, so as suggested in a guide I added the fields to frames effect in cinelerra. Now it doesn't &quot;flicker&quot;, but has become &quot;jerky&quot; when there is lots of motion, particularly when the camera is moving, so the whole background moves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is what I've tried so far:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Removed &quot;mpeg2video&quot; from cinelerra video render pipe.  &#xD;&#xA; - Removed +ilme from render pipe.  &#xD;&#xA; - Removed +ildct from render pipe.  &#xD;&#xA; - Removed +ilme from render audio/video rejoin command.  &#xD;&#xA; - Removed +ildct from render audio/video rejoin command.  &#xD;&#xA; - Added -alt to render pipe.  &#xD;&#xA; - Added -alt to render audio/video rejoin command.  &#xD;&#xA; - Tried with and without the frames to fields effect in Cinelerra.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and various combinations of the above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also tried this: change the Cinelerra fps to 50, use fields to frames (instead of frames to fields), render to an intermediate QTforlinux jpeg video stream, re-importing that back into Cinelerra, adding a frames to fields effect and then rendering that output as normal (@25fps), and I still have the same problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone experienced this &quot;jerking&quot; playback before? Can anyone give any suggestions on how to fix it? (Like I say, it plays back fine on a PC, but not on any of the standalone players I've tried)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Symbolic links are simply a file that contains the real path to another file and can cross filesystems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hard links have been around since the earliest days of UNIX (that I can remember anyway, and that's going back quite a while). They are two directory entries that reference the *exact* same underlying data. The data in a file is specified by its `inode`. Each file on a file system points to an inode but there's no requirement that each file point to a unique inode - that's where hard links come from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since inodes are unique only for a given filesystem, there's a limitation that hard links must be on the same filesystem (unlike symbolic links). Note that, unlike symbolic links, there is no privileged file - they are all equal. The data area will only be released *all* the files using that inode are deleted (and all processes close it as well, but that's a different issue).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use the `&quot;ls -i&quot;` command to get the inode of a particular file. You can then use the `&quot;find &lt;filesystemroot&gt; -inum &lt;inode&gt;&quot;` command to find all files on the filesystem with that given inode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a script which does exactly that.

The GPL is the most free (as in speech) license when it comes to any kind of phone OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Google Android**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Android][1] is released under the [Apache license][2], the reason being so that they can use the open source code without having to turn proprietary enhancements back over to the open source community. Therefore this is a slightly less free OS than Linux, yet still gives you more freedom than others. Basically handset makers are free to use Android without any payments from Google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Symbian OS**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This OS is used phones mainly from Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola. It has been a very popular OS for the past decade (about 50-60% of phones use it).  Nokia and others have taken the Symbian OS open source recently. Probably due to the pressure they feel from Android. The Symbian Foundation was developed with the goal of creating an open and free OS for phones. The OS does not require royalties and is released under the [Eclipse Public License][3]. Handset makers are also free to use Symbian OS with any payments from Symbian Ltd.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Apple iPhone OS X**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[iPhone OS X][4] is one of the most 'unfree' OSes according to your requirements but it has the most features and nicest interface so yeah if that isn't important to you then I would definitely recommend a Linux variant over an iPhone. Compatible with Mac OS X and Windows OSes. You are bound to the iPhone software license ([PDF link][5]). This OS is not available to third party handset makers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Rim Blackberry**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Blackberry is just as closed and proprietary as the iPhone OS, yet it lacks a lot of features of the iPhone OS so I am putting this low on my list. Having said that the Blackberry does have a lot of features and isn't such a bad phone but it is suited more for business use. The [Blackberry software license][6] applies. This OS is not available to third party handset makers, basically the same as Apple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Windows Mobile**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My experience with Windows Mobile devices have been that they are buggy and crash a lot and you don't get much more proprietary, closed and license restricted than a product from Microsoft. Microsoft gear all their software to lock you into Windows/Office and basically every other Microsoft product. Not compatible with Mac OS or Linux. This OS is available to third party handset makers for a licensing fee.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With Microsoft products you have a very high chance of being locked into proprietary formats such as WMA, Word, Excel and WMV. Apple at least use MP4 which is a royalty free video format unlike WMV. I could go on with this but the point is that Microsoft are well known to be the most untrusted company in the tech industry over the past 25 years, with more anti-trust lawsuits that any other. I would avoid this company more than any other if you are looking for freedom.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all if you can live with the Apache license, I would recommend that you look at buying an Android based phone. They are very 'free as in speech' commercially available phones and hey if you don't like Android, I'm pretty sure there are Linux OSes that you can just install over the top. While [Linux based phones][7] are more free, I would go with Android for the apps and features as they are generally not quite as nice as their Linux counterparts (Yes Android is a linux based OS, but I separate it out because it has backing from Google meaning it has a  focused direction and isn't a home brew OS that moves at a snail's pace of development.

I have unlimited harddisk space (almost 7000 gb). I want to copy entire dvds (or possibly just the main movie from the dvd, depending on what makes more sense) WITHOUT compression or losing quality. (Quality is of most importance.) I am new to this, but I need top quality, albeit it might take days and thousands of gigs of memory. When I've done this with trial programs, none of my media playing programs have been able to read the file that has been created (They can only read the individual iso's that were created), so the dvd menus and subtitle controls and such are lost. I also need the ability to burn a 1 to 1 copy of that dvd at any time from the harddrive without having the dvd disk itself. I am willing to pay for a program if that is necessary to make this work smoothly and keep it organized. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the catch: I need to be able to potentially convert these files into something an ipod can play (mpeg4). I am assuming that would be possible in the same program that can just convert the iso file into an mpeg4, but that MUST be possible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anyone could give me suggestions, point out flaws in my plan, or give links to potential programs that would be needed to do this, it would be very much appreciated.

This should tell you all and more you would like to know.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A note on charging.. Not all charging circuits are created equal so if you have a deficient charging circuit, you might indeed want to unplug the battery after it has been fully charged like was suggested above.&#xD;&#xA;" />

It copes very well with shallow charging and discharging, and never develops memory.  The only downside to shallow discharges is that the charge meter may become inaccurate (without affecting actual battery life), but a full discharge followed by a full charge will recalibrate it.  Fully discharging the battery on a regular basis may actually be more damaging to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the battery is Ni-Cad or NiMH, then it prefers to be fully discharged then fully charged.  If the battery isn't fully charged or discharged, it may develop memory and have less capacity." />

I have unlimited harddisk space (almost 7000 gb). I want to copy entire dvds (or possibly just the main movie from the dvd, depending on what makes more sense) WITHOUT compression or losing quality. (Quality is of most importance.) I am new to this, but I need top quality, albeit it might take days and thousands of gigs of memory. When I've done this with trial programs, none of my media playing programs have been able to read the file that has been created (They can only read the individual iso's that were created), so the dvd menus and subtitle controls and such are lost. I also need the ability to burn a 1 to 1 copy of that dvd at any time from the harddrive without having the dvd disk itself. I need to be able to burn these dvds with the same quality that the original dvds were. I need top quality for everything. I am willing to pay for a program if that is necessary to make this work smoothly and keep it organized. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, I need to be able to potentially convert these files into something an ipod can play (mpeg4). I am assuming that would be possible in the same program that could just convert the dvd file into an mpeg4, but that MUST be possible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anyone could give me suggestions, point out flaws in my plan, or give links to potential programs that would be needed to do this, it would be very much appreciated.

Looking back at the original Unix articles (mid-70s), the example would have been:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    who | wc -l&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using 'wc -l' counts lines of output - it works with both 'users' and 'who'.  Using '-w' only works reliably when there is one word per line (as with 'users' but not with 'who'), and the '-w' option is relatively new (though obviously present on Linux and required by the current POSIX standard - it was not always present, though it has been standard since at least 1997).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could use 'grep -c' to count the lines.

One is that instead of giving one name per line, it spreads the names out several per line -- I don't have a machine with enough different users logged in to test what happens when the number of users becomes large.  The other difference is that 'who' reports on terminal connections in use.  With multiple terminal windows open, it will show multiple lines for a single user, whereas 'users' seems to list a logged in user just once.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a consequence of this difference, the '`grep -c .`' formulation won't work with the 'users' command; '`wc -w`' is necessary." />

Download the media and burn it to DVD or similar medium. This is similar to what you would have if buying it physically, though the question of whether the life of a home-recorded DVD is as long as a commercial pressed DVD would need to be considered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.  Download the media and store on one or more HDDs. These could be on a media centre, a fileserver, an ordinary PC or just as backups. depending on your requirements. If you don't want the cost and complexity of a fileserver-based solution then a usb flash drive with a couple of movies, music and books on can easliy be moved to the device where it is wanted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.  Buy the media from a supplier that allows repeated downloads. Download it as 1. or 2. and download again if the copy is lost or fails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.  Use a subscription service, download or stream as preferred (an example is the subscription service from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.magnatune.com/&quot;&gt;Magnatune&lt;/a&gt;). Store or don't as preferred. Ending the subscription will usually end the ability to download so that needs to be factored in. This includes what may be a different subset, streamed (possibly DRM-protected) media such as radio or TV programmes: the licence for these is only to stream so there is no storage requirement and bandwidth is the ultimate limitation, as it is with storing my own downloaded or created material in the cloud (even where licencing permits this).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All these approaches really only work where the digital media, software and hardware are DRM-free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Option 4 combined with option 2 and all DRM-free media probably gives the most versatility. Option 2 would be my second choice, but that probably requires DRM-free and a licence that allows backup copies (e.g. in the long term there is little point having backup copies of the downloaded media if they can only be played on one particular hardware player).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently I keep audio recordings on a PC, with a backup on an external HDD. I keep a subset of these on a couple of USB audio player and some more in a mirrored directory between all the PCs I use. Video material is either on a PVR or on DVDs. I do use Magnatune, but just for downloads, no subscription." />

It depends on how you integrate Google's JavaScript, but you need to be sure it's the last that will be loaded. You also need to be sure it doesn't yield JavaScript errors when blocked; the default JavaScript snippet Google provides does not do that well.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more people seem to block it (though, of course: most don't), either because of privacy issues or because they notice that many websites load slow, waiting for the Google scripts to be processed. Blocking is easily added to, for example, AdBlock. I simply do not want my websites to be known as using something that some people block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Webmasters could abuse Piwik for tracking of individual visitors, which Google doesn't allow you to do. People could also block Piwik if they know the name of the JavaScript includes. But well, webmasters choosing Piwik often do that because they don't like the Big Brother Google, so I guess abuse is rare. (And using the raw log files one could achieve the same.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that Google Analytics provides you with details about the Google Search, like how many times your site appeared in searches. This, of course, needs a tight integration that only Google can provide. And the Site Overlay feature in Google Analytics also looks great (the Click Heatmap [plugin][4] is just a start compared to that) and may be very helpful for your web site designers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://piwik.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://piwik.org/demo/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://piwik.org/blog/2008/10/using-the-piwik-api-and-adobe-air-interesting-use-cases/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://piwik.org/faq/plugins/#faq_20" />

In the old days they used to make CPU's faster and faster. Over time the speeds of CPU's increased from only a handfull of megahertz to super speeds ranging up to 3 gigahertz. However, when the 3 gigahertz speed was reached CPU makers had found a limit to how far they could push the speed on a single chip.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the meantime, for those applications that needed more power (like servers and CGI render farms), the multi CPU motherboards where introduced. This allowed to be more than one CPU (usually two) CPU's to be placed on the motherboard. Operating systems that where able to utilize multiple CPU's could run software that took advantage of this feature by distributing load over those two CPU's, therefore increasing execution speed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fast forward to present day. The CPU speed limit is reached and instead of scaling vertically (making it faster), CPU manufactures are starting to scale horizontally by placing multiple cores on a single chip. Currently dual core chips are very common and soon the quad cores will be the standard. Now imagine that you'd placed two quad cores on a single motherboard. This would mean that the operating system would have access to 8 CPU's, all running 3 gigahertz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides multi-core there is also a 'fake' dual core CPU that uses a technology known as 'hyper-threading'. With hyper-threading the CPU emulates two CPU's when there is only one actual core present. The CPU knows how to make use of what would normally be down time by scheduling instructions in a specific way, gaining more efficiency.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " />

This syntax appears to set the file date to the photo date:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;     **exiftool '-DateTimeOriginal&gt;FileModifyDate' dir**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Use the original date from the meta information to set the same file's filesystem modification date for all images in a directory. &quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Update: Since the question has changed, ExifTool can also be used to set the internal photo meta data date to the actual photo date.   I scanned many files and placed them in folders named with the name of the date the photos were taken.   I could then set a batch file to mass update all internal photo dates.  For example, this would set the internal Exif tag on all scanned photos in the folder '1981-07-01' to the specified date below. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  **ExifTool.pl -overwrite_original &quot;-DateTimeOriginal=1981:07:01 00:00:00&quot; .\1981-07-01**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  This could be followed by the command above to set the file date as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   EXIF data is internal to the file and is completely independent from the system file dates unless they are manually set to match.   This is partly by design - normally a camera sets the photo date Exif tag when the photo is taken.  The photo may be edited multiple times which will update the lastModified date, but good photo software reads and sorts by internal Exif file date based on when the photo was taken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExifTool&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/&#xD;&#xA;" />

It provides you with detailed reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages... and so [much more (demo)][2].&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program that you download and install on your own webserver. At the end of the five minute installation process you will be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy and paste this tag on websites you wish to track (or use an existing plugin to do it automatically for you).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also interesting is the API: [Using the Piwik API and Adobe AIR: interesting use cases][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My own reasons not to like Google Analytics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When the Google Analytics website is slow, your own website [may be slow][4] as well. It depends on how you integrate Google's JavaScript, but you need to be sure it's the last that will be loaded, and you should not use `&lt;body onload=..&gt;` for other things on your site. You also need to ensure it doesn't yield JavaScript errors when blocked; the example [JavaScript snippet][5] Google provides does not do that well.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more people seem to block it (though, of course: most don't), either because of privacy issues or because they notice that many websites load slow, or *seem* to load slow, waiting for the Google scripts to be processed or the [web bug][6] to be loaded. The domain google-analytics.com is easily added to, for example, [Adblock Plus][7], and is automatically blocked when using its [EasyPrivacy Filter][8]. I simply do not want my websites to be known as using something that some people block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Webmasters could abuse Piwik for tracking of individual visitors, which Google doesn't allow you to do. People could also block Piwik if they know the name of the JavaScript includes. But well, webmasters who choose Piwik often do that because they don't like the Big Brother Google, so I guess abuse is rare. (And using the raw log files one could achieve the same.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that Google Analytics provides you with details about the Google Search, like how many times your site appeared in searches -- not to be confused with how many people actually click through to your site from a search result. This, of course, needs a tight integration that only Google can provide (but could probably also be achieved using the [Webmaster Tools][9], and does not include result from, for example, Bing either). And the Site Overlay feature in Google Analytics also looks great (the Click Heatmap [plugin][10] is just a start compared to that) and may be very helpful for your web site designers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://piwik.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://piwik.org/demo/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://piwik.org/blog/2008/10/using-the-piwik-api-and-adobe-air-interesting-use-cases/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/435228/does-google-analytics-have-peformance-overhead/1184478#1184478&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingOverview.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_bug&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://adblockplus.org&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://easylist.adblockplus.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.google.com/webmasters/&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://piwik.org/faq/plugins/#faq_20" />

However if your screen isn't at a high resolution and the &quot;smoothing&quot; isn't as successful as it should be you end up with 2 issues.  The first is what is referred to as &quot;rainbow text&quot; where all your text looks 'oily' as if outlined in a bunch of colors, the second is a general feeling of &quot;blurry text&quot;... but both cause your eyes/brain to squint and try to re-form the correct, crisp image in your brain... thus you start getting headaches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to seeing your doctor (as others have suggested) I would try turning ClearType off (or as many call it: &quot;FuzzyType&quot;) and see if that improves things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " />

It provides you with detailed reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages... and so [much more (demo)][2].&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program that you download and install on your own webserver. At the end of the five minute installation process you will be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy and paste this tag on websites you wish to track (or use an existing plugin to do it automatically for you).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also interesting is the API: [Using the Piwik API and Adobe AIR: interesting use cases][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My own reasons not to like Google Analytics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When the Google Analytics website is slow, your own website [may be slow][4] as well. It depends on how you integrate Google's JavaScript, but you need to be sure it's the last that will be loaded, and you should not use `&lt;body onload=..&gt;` for other things on your site. You also need to ensure it doesn't yield JavaScript errors when blocked; the example [JavaScript snippet][5] Google provides does not do that well.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more people seem to block it (though, of course: most don't), either because of privacy issues or because they notice that many websites load slow, or *seem* to load slow, waiting for the Google scripts to be processed or the [web bug][6] to be loaded. The domain google-analytics.com is easily added to, for example, [Adblock Plus][7], and is automatically blocked when using its [EasyPrivacy Filter][8] (but: that filter also [blocks][9] `piwik.js`). I simply do not want my websites to be known as using something that some people block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Webmasters could abuse Piwik for tracking of individual visitors, which Google doesn't allow you to do. People could also block Piwik if they know the name of the JavaScript includes. But well, webmasters who choose Piwik often do that because they don't like the Big Brother Google, so I guess abuse is rare. (And using the raw log files one could achieve the same.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that Google Analytics provides you with details about the Google Search, like how many times your site appeared in searches -- not to be confused with how many people actually click through to your site from a search result. This, of course, needs a tight integration that only Google can provide (but could probably also be achieved using the [Webmaster Tools][10], and does not include result from, for example, Bing either). And the Site Overlay feature in Google Analytics also looks great (the Click Heatmap [plugin][11] is just a start compared to that) and may be very helpful for your web site designers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://piwik.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://piwik.org/demo/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://piwik.org/blog/2008/10/using-the-piwik-api-and-adobe-air-interesting-use-cases/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/435228/does-google-analytics-have-peformance-overhead/1184478#1184478&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingOverview.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_bug&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://adblockplus.org&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://easylist.adblockplus.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/easylist/easyprivacy.txt&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.google.com/webmasters/&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://piwik.org/faq/plugins/#faq_20" />

It's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; intended for users with multiple&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computers on their desk since each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system uses its own monitor(s).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as simple as moving the mouse off the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; edge of your screen. Synergy also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merges the clipboards of all the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; systems into one, allowing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cut-and-paste between systems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Furthermore, it synchronizes screen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; savers so they all start and stop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; together and, if screen locking is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, only one screen requires a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; password to unlock them all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another free software (only for Windows):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Input Director][3]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director is a Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application that lets you control&#xD;&#xA;&gt; multiple Windows systems using the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard/mouse attached to one&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computer. It is designed for folks who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have two (or more) computers set up at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; home and find themselves regularly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sliding from one system to the other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (and wearing out the carpet in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; process!). &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With Input Director, you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can share a single keyboard/mouse&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across a set of systems. You switch&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which system receives the input either&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by hotkey or by moving the cursor so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that it transitions from one screen to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the other (in a very similar fashion&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to a multi-monitor setup). The idea&#xD;&#xA;&gt; being that you can position the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; monitors from two or more systems in a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; control all of them. Input Director&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also supports a &quot;shared&quot; clipboard, in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which you can copy data onto the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clipboard on one system, transition&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across to another and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director requires Windows 2000&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 2008 or Windows 7.

When you see a URL path like `/example/index.php`, the web server goes to the `example` directory under the document root, opens the `index.php` file, and executes its contents (simplifying a bit). Since they are going through the filesystem, they tend to use the whole filename, including the extension.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The websites which do not show a file extension are mostly dispatching in some other way. For instance, in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.djangoproject.com/&quot;&gt;Django&lt;/a&gt;, there is (simplifying a bit) a table mapping the URL path to the code which will process the request. Since here there is no relation between the URL path and the filesystem path, the mapping can be completely arbitrary, and there is no reason to add a &quot;fake&quot; extension.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are exceptions to the first case; for instance, with `mod_rewrite` you can remap the URL path, easily hiding any file extension (this is very common).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason you do not see often the first case with Python is that most people use web frameworks when building sites with Python, which do their own dispatching. This is also common even with PHP (&lt;a href=&quot;http://drupal.org/&quot;&gt;Drupal&lt;/a&gt; is a common PHP framework), but creating &quot;standalone&quot; pages (without a framwork) is more common with PHP than with Python." />

You'll end up with a much more configurable and powerful system that you can use in a pinch as a filserver/NAS or simple web server, or HTPC, or any number of other things. But Untangle doesn't look like a bad option, if you decide you prefer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your cable modem will almost certainly not use Gigabit Ethernet; a regular 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection will serve it just fine. Of course if you're buying a new separate NIC, you may as well buy gigabit anyway, but if you have a Fast Ethernet NIC built-in or lying around, there's no reason not to use it. You *will* want gigabit for the LAN side, if you intend to use the server as a fileserver or NAS or provide any kind of bandwidth-intensive service to the LAN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using your existing wifi router might be somewhat problematic; not all of them play well with others. If you are using BSD, one thing you can do is buy a PCI or PCIe wireless card and install it in the server, then configure it to run as an AP. Your BSD box then becomes the wireless router. If you like your current wireless router, you can just connect it to your LAN and have it act as a dumb bridge (i.e., not using any routing features). Usually this doesn't require any extra setup, just *not* using the &quot;WLAN&quot; or &quot;uplink&quot; port on the router.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the LAN side, your gigabit switch will not have an &quot;uplink&quot; port; if it does, it's not a pure switch.

If you set things up properly, any computer on the LAN will be able to communicate with any computer on the wireless network.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're interested in more details about the Linux/BSD option, just mention it or ask another question and I or someone else will be more than happy to explain." />

In the old days they used to make CPU's faster and faster. Over time the speed of CPU's increased from only a handfull of megahertz to super speeds ranging up to 3 gigahertz. However, when the 3 gigahertz speed was reached CPU makers had found a limit to how far they could push the speed on a single CPU core.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While this speed race was happening, for those applications that needed more power (like servers and CGI render farms), the multi-socket CPU motherboards where introduced. This allowed to be more than one CPU (usually two) to be placed on the motherboard. Operating systems that where able to utilize multiple CPU's at once could run software that took advantage of this feature by distributing load over those two CPU's, therefore increasing execution speed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fast forward to present day. The CPU speed limit is somewhat reached and instead of scaling vertically (making it faster), CPU manufactures are starting to scale horizontally by placing multiple cores on a single chip. Currently dual core chips are very common and soon the quad cores will be the standard. Now imagine that you'd placed two quad cores on a single motherboard. This would mean that the operating system would have access to 8 CPU's, all running at around 3 gigahertz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides multi-core CPU's there is also a 'fake' dual core CPU that uses a technology known as 'hyper-threading'. With hyper-threading the CPU emulates the presence two CPU's when there is in reality only one actual core present. The CPU knows how to make use of what would normally be down time by scheduling instructions in a specific way, gaining more efficiency.&#xD;&#xA;" />

With text, this is a non-issue, it can be compressed easily, and the files are small - the repository might be a megabyte or two.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compressed data (MP3s, JPEGs etc) cannot be compressed by git further, and since you effectively need to store two copies of the data, this will double the disc-space required (one for the files, one for the repository)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Text is tiny, and compressible, and importantly you can easily &quot;diff&quot; between two revisions - only storing the changes. If you only change one line, git only stores that one line (and any associated metadata, like the commit message)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Binary files are hard to diff, so say you modify the tags on 100 files (say, to add artwork, or change a genre), git will store a new copy of those files in it's `.git/` directory. Say you then strip out all the comments from your music's metadata, git will then store another complete copy of your files! This will mean your repository will now be over twice the size of your actual files (say you had 10GB of music, your music folder will now be over 30GB)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I said, git isn't suited to such things - it's aimed at tracking source code, with lots of little changes to text files, not big binary files. There's not much point in keeping a revision history of your music library, when all you need a syncing tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since you're considering using git, I assume you're happy enough with command line tools, so I would suggest looking into using rsync to sync your iTunes library between machines. The biggest problem, as joshhunt mentioned, is iTunes uses absolute paths to media files, so the `iTunes Library.xml` file contains things like..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;key&gt;Location&lt;/key&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;string&gt;file://localhost/Users/dbr/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/65daysofstatic/Hole/01%20Hole.mp3&lt;/string&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use the same OS, and same username on all machines, this is a non-issue - keep the files in the same path and it should work fine. If not, things get a bit more complicated.. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could write two scripts, one that updates the paths from machineA to machineB, and vice versa. You could move your iTunes Library to somewhere like `/User/Shared/Music/` so the paths are the same (although this may not work for OS X -&gt; Windows)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are some utilities to sync iTunes Libraries between machines, such as..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [myTuneSync](https://www.socketheadstudios.com/mytunesync/) ($19.95USD)&#xD;&#xA;- [Syncopation](http://www.sonzea.com/syncopation/) ($24.95USD)&#xD;&#xA;- [SlingShot](http://www.martian.com/SlingShot.html) ($29.99USD)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(from [this article](http://www.macworld.com/article/133881/2008/07/syncitunes.html))" />

You'll end up with a much more configurable and powerful system that you can use in a pinch as a filserver/NAS or simple web server, or HTPC, or any number of other things. But Untangle doesn't look like a bad option, if you decide you prefer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your cable modem will almost certainly not use Gigabit Ethernet; a regular 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection will serve it just fine. Of course if you're buying a new separate NIC, you may as well buy gigabit anyway, but if you have a Fast Ethernet NIC built-in or lying around, there's no reason not to use it. You *will* want gigabit for the LAN side, if you intend to use the server as a fileserver or NAS or provide any kind of bandwidth-intensive service to the LAN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using your existing wifi router might be somewhat problematic; not all of them play well with others. If you are using BSD, one thing you can do is buy a PCI or PCIe wireless card and install it in the server, then configure it to run as an AP. Your BSD box then becomes the wireless router. If you like your current wireless router, you can just connect it to your LAN and have it act as a dumb bridge (i.e., not using any routing features). Usually this doesn't require any extra setup, just *not* using the &quot;WLAN&quot; or &quot;uplink&quot; port on the router.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the LAN side, your gigabit switch will not have an &quot;uplink&quot; port; if it does, it's not a pure switch. All the ports on the switch should be equivalent. Here's how I'd wire the whole thing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Cable/DSL modem            &lt;-&gt; Fast Ethernet NIC on server&#xD;&#xA;    Any gigabit port on switch &lt;-&gt; Gigabit NIC on server&#xD;&#xA;    Any gigabit port on switch &lt;-&gt; Another computer on the LAN &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use a separate wireless router:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Any ethernet port on switch &lt;-&gt; Any non-uplink ethernet port on wireless router&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use a wireless card in the server in AP mode, you just need to configure it properly, and do not need any additional hardware. If you set things up properly, any computer on the LAN will be able to communicate with any computer on the wireless network.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're interested in more details about the Linux/BSD option, just mention it or ask another question and I or someone else will be more than happy to explain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: I realized I forgot to address your question about performance. I can't speak for Untangle, but a BSD-based setup will be able to handle a typical home LAN (~5 computers behind it) on just about anything: my gateway/server used to be an old Pentium II box I had lying around, before I moved it into the 21st century last year. A dedicated firewall/personal server can run on just about any old hardware you can get your hands on, or the very cheapest modern servers you can buy." />

This clock runs on a battery, and counts time just like a wrist-watch. When the computer goes on, the clock is read, and that's how your operating system knows what time it is when it starts up. But after that first read, the operating systems doesn't have to use the  RTC - it can simply continue counting time (seconds, hours and whatever) by itself. Whenever the user asks what time its, it can simply report its own time (instead of the time that the RTC reports).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tricky bit comes when the RTC doesn't have the right time. When you try to correct the clock, it's really the operating system that does that for you. The operating system may only update its internal, software, clock. In that case, once you reboot the incorrect time will be loaded again from the RTC. I still remember this from the DOS days. You had to go into the BIOS to change the clock. ugh.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, the final nail in the coffin is this: the time read from the RTC is just a number. And the operating system is allowed to change that number. For example, it might want to add 3,600,000 milliseconds (1 hour) to that number, so that GMT+1 users feel comfortable. Other times, there's something screwy with the timezone settings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Either way, setting the hardware clock from within the operating system tends to fix this, since it goes through the same filtering process. So even if your OS adds 5 minutes to the RTC, it will also subtract 5 minutes before updating the RTC.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!" />

It began when she received an email from a close friend asking her to check out some sort of webpage. I never saw it, but my mother said it was just a blog of some sort, nothing interesting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few days later, my mother signed in on the Paypal homepage. Paypal gave some sort of security notice which stated that to prevent fraud, they needed some additional personal information. Among some of the more normal information (name, address, etc...), they asked for her SSN and bank pin number! She refused to submit that information and complained to Paypal that they shouldn't ask for it. Paypal said they would never ask for such information and that it wasn't their webpage. There was no such &quot;security notice&quot; when she logged in from a different computer, only from her's. It wasn't a phishing attempt or redirection of some sort, since I.E. clearly showed an SSL connection to https://www.paypal.com/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;She remembered that strange email and asked her friend about it - the friend never sent it! Obviously, something on her computer was intercepting the paypal homepage and that email was the only other strange thing to happen recently. She entrusted me to fix everything. I nuked the computer from orbit since it was the only way to be sure (i.e., reformatted her hard drive and did a clean install). That seemed to work fine. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But that got me wondering... my mother didn't download &amp; run anything. There were no weird ActiveX controls running (she's not computer illiterate and knows not to install them), and she only uses webmail (i.e., no Outlook vulnerability). When I think webpages, I think content presentation - javascript, HTML, and maybe some flash. How could that possibly install and execute arbitrary software on your computer?

Wifi and sound often mean times of lost productivity trying to get things to work properly. Not to mention that I have an iPhone, and syncing that with an OS that doesn't run iTunes natively means a headache waiting to happen. This doesn't take into consideration all the other software hassles that come with running Linux.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mac OS X, of course, works perfectly with the hardware, since it was designed to do so. That is of course the primary benefit to buying a Mac, is the OS is tightly integrated. Also, because Mac OS X is a [certified Unix][5], that means it can (and does) run all manners of Unix (and Linux) software. With the [MacPorts][6] project, a wealth of software is a `port install` away.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OS X provides all the great things I like about running a Linux workstation (Unix/Unix-like utilities, powerful command-line and scripting ability, etc), and none of the things that have frustrated me over the years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.cenolan.com/2009/06/installing-fedora-11-on-a-macbook/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.opengroup.org/comm/press/19-2-nov07.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.macports.org/" />

It began when she received an email from a close friend asking her to check out some sort of webpage. I never saw it, but my mother said it was just a blog of some sort, nothing interesting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few days later, my mother signed in on the PayPal homepage. PayPal gave some sort of security notice which stated that to prevent fraud, they needed some additional personal information. Among some of the more normal information (name, address, etc.), they asked for her SSN and bank PIN! She refused to submit that information and complained to PayPal that they shouldn't ask for it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PayPal said they would never ask for such information and that it wasn't their webpage. There was no such &quot;security notice&quot; when she logged in from a different computer, only from hers. It wasn't a phishing attempt or redirection of some sort, IE clearly showed an SSL connection to https://www.paypal.com/ &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;She remembered that strange email and asked her friend about it - the friend never sent it! &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, something on her computer was intercepting the PayPal homepage and that email was the only other strange thing to happen recently. She entrusted me to fix everything. I nuked the computer from orbit since it was the only way to be sure (i.e., reformatted her hard drive and did a clean install). That seemed to work fine. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But that got me wondering... my mother didn't download and run anything. There were no weird ActiveX controls running (she's not computer illiterate and knows not to install them), and she only uses webmail (i.e., no Outlook vulnerability). When I think webpages, I think content presentation - JavaScript, HTML, and maybe some Flash. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How could that possibly install and execute arbitrary software on your computer? It seems kinda weird/stupid that such vulnerabilities exist." />

Apparently, my hatred for headphone gaming is starting to wane. The CMSS-3D technology lives up to the Creative standard and exceeds even my expectations and I was trying to set them pretty high.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if it was up to me, I think next time I’ll reach for the headset and skip the beating. For $49 the headphones are a steal. I spent $80 on my Sennheisers (a year ago, the price may be comparable now) and the Fatal1ty headset seems to have blown them out of the water. I am a huge fan of Sennheisers, so this was a hard review for me to write. Like watching your boyhood hero being mowed down in a hail of gunfire. A little part of me died today, but there is a new hero in town.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you’re in the market for some new headphones, don’t skip over the Fatal1ty headset. I would personally recommend this product to anyone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Noise Cancellation for Team Speak and Skype&#xD;&#xA; - 3D Effects When Combined With the Fatal1ty Sound Card Were Amazing&#xD;&#xA; - Gaming Experience&#xD;&#xA; - No Sound Crackle Throughout Each of the Tests&#xD;&#xA; - Price&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Cons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The Headphone Cushioning Was a Little Stiff to Start With. Possibly After Some Use it May Break in a Little Better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: I'm not sure if there are really exceptions to the price vs quality ratio.

I have unlimited harddisk space (almost 7000 gb). I want to copy entire dvds (or possibly just the main movie from the dvd, depending on what makes more sense) WITHOUT compression or losing quality. (Quality is of most importance.) I am new to this, but I need top quality, albeit it might take days and thousands of gigs of memory. When I've done this with trial programs, none of my media playing programs have been able to read the file that has been created (They can only read the individual iso's that were created), so the dvd menus and subtitle controls and such are lost. I also need the ability to burn a 1 to 1 copy of that dvd at any time from the harddrive without having the dvd disk itself. I need to be able to burn these dvds with the same quality that the original dvds were. I need top quality for everything. I am willing to pay for a program if that is necessary to make this work smoothly and keep it organized. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, I need to be able to potentially convert these files into something an ipod can play (mpeg4). I am assuming that would be possible in the same program that could just convert the dvd file into an mpeg4, but that MUST be possible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anyone could give me suggestions, point out flaws in my plan, or give links to potential programs that would be needed to do this, it would be very much appreciated.

I am using DBus to do what needs to be done but you can use xvkbd to generate real key press events (I found xvkbd very slow it takes seconds to send a simple key combination). tshark-wrapper is a simple wrapper around tshark it executes tshark as root and disables stderr.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/sh&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    sudo tshark &quot;$@&quot; 2&gt; /dev/null&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is the problem. The user needs permission to execute tshark as root without password. This is  really **really** bad thing. The risk could be reduced by putting more aruments in the wrapper and less in the python script and allowing users to execute the wrapper as root.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now about the process of doing this with other keyboards. I know almost nothing about USB and still it was not that hard. Most of my time was spent figuring out how to do unbuffered read from a pipe. I knew from lsusb output that my keyboard is on the 2nd USB interface. So I started capturing with wireshark on usbmon2. The mouse and other hardwares generate a lot of noise so unplug them or at least do not move the mouse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing I noticed was that the extra keys have endpoint ID 0x82 and the normal keys have endpoint ID 0x81. There were some packets at the beginning with 0x80. This is good it can be easily filtered:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.endpoint_number == 0x82&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Normal key press:&#xD;&#xA;![Normal key press][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Extra key press:&#xD;&#xA;![Extra key press][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was easy to see that a key press generates 4 USB packets: 2 for press, 2 for release. In every pair the first packet was sent by the keyboard to the PC and the second was the other way around. It seemed like ACK-s with TCP. The &quot;ACK&quot; was URB-SUBMIT and the normal packet was URB-COMPLETE type. So I decided to filter the &quot;ACK&quot;s and only show normal packets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.urb_type == &quot;C\x01\x82\x03\x02&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;USB &quot;ACK&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there were only 2 packets per key press. Every second had zero application value field and everything else had different values. So I filtered the zeroes and used the other values to identify keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.data != 00:00:00:00&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Extra key release:&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My keyboard is a Slimstar 220 (I hope this does not qualify as spam If it does I remove it.) If you have the same type chances are the unmodified program will work. Otherwise I think at least the application value stuff will be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anyone feels like writing a real driver based on this data please let me know. I don't like my ugly hack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://a.imagehost.org/0310/normal_key.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://a.imagehost.org/0675/extra_key_press.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://a.imagehost.org/0905/usb_ack.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://a.imagehost.org/0010/extra_key_release.png" />

Typically the defrag process looks for files which have been broken up into chunks for whatever reason.  Many cases this occurs from reading and writing to a drive over time. The defrag program assembles all of the fragments and then find a spot on the disk where that entire file will fit.  In some cases it ends up being a but of a shell game to move things around making places for all the largest files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now something to be said about putting all of these files together concerns the typical &quot;seek&quot; time of the Read/Write head on the disk.  Every time you have to move the read/write head somewhere else on the disk you typically incur a delay of a number of milliseconds.  When reading a file that is all in one location, the read/write head does not have to move very far at all to continue reading the file.  This is much faster than going to another spot entirely on the disk.  In some cases defragmentation can be done to optimize the operating system by placing the system files accessed most frequently closer to the &quot;landing zone&quot; for the read/right head when it is not performing any reads/writes.  This can in many cases speed things up quite a bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have not seen a defrag tool out there which has the ability to keep statistics on the number of times a file has been accessed, but if there was, it could stack the disk first with the most frequently accessed files.

I was looking through some of my Google services, and realized they have a bookmarking service that integrates with your Google searches (I thought they had a bookmarking service before, but it went away?  Maybe not).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like delicious just fine - I'm not interested in leaving.  But I also like how my Google bookmarks are highlighted (and I'm guessing, brought to the top) in my search results so I can easily tell if I've bookmarked a site (kind of like the &quot;promote up&quot; feature).  I can't even count the number of times I search for a site only to find I've been there months or years ago.  If sites I've bookmarked in the past are highlighted in my search results, it makes it easier to pick which search result to go to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is around bookmarking tools: **Is there a bookmarklet or Firefox addon that will let me save a bookmark to multiple services at the same time, in this case, Google and Delicious?**  Or maybe a service to sync my delicious bookmarks to Google bookmarks on a regular basis?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For that matter, it would be nice to add Evernote into the mix - click 1 button to save the page to Evernote, and bookmark the page in Google and delicious." />

The top two monitors have TV tuners so I can watch cable or my own CCTV system that is internal to my setup.  I can watch two seperate full screen or PIP video sources on the top two screens or I can just switch them back to desktop space for the computer when I need to have quite a bit of stuff open and visible all at once.  I routinely keep 20 windows open that relate to tasks in various states of action or research.  It is handy to be able to keep your email application visible at all times as well as your messenger software.  It is also handy to be able to drag a window from one monitor to another when you need something out of the way (or in my case it is usually someone looking over my shoulder) I also have a projector that shoots an image on the wall to one side (Just out of view to the right) that I keep my heads up display running on.  So all said I have a maximum total of 5 screens of information visible at all times (6 if you count my laptop)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a productivity standpoint you cannot beat this setup.  It is pretty handy when having a Video Teleconference with a few people too,  You can see all their faces and you do not have to make those tough choices as to whose mug you want to be looking at.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The top two monitors are Samsungs with the TV tuners and multiple video inputs all supported natively.  So long gone are the days where I have to choose between the computer and the television programs I care to watch.  Now I can do all of the above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/4339/photo072605001.jpg" />

If you can do this, that is the &quot;Low hanging fruit&quot; method I would recommend.  There are many types of antennas so you will have to choose based on exactly how you would like to boost your performance.  Typically most antennas in these types of devices are omnidirectional and that is usually appropriate under most circumstances.  A directional antenna can provide a much stronger signal from a distance but requires alignment to the wireless device it is connecting to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another method you might try is to figure out where the receiver is on the USB device and fashion a parabolic focuser that will capture the signal and focus it on the receiver in a similar manner as a satellite dish or directv setup.  The parabola need not be huge.  You are just trying to create a reflector that collects EMI from the right direction and also reflects everything you transmit in the wrong direction back at the device you are trying to connect through. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps." />

And does&#xD;&#xA;&gt; having more monitors help your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; productivity?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A monitor can only display so much usable information at one time. If you need to access more information than the screen can hold you need to spend some of your time finding the information among the windows which you have open and bringing it to the foreground. If you increase the number, of resolution of your monitors you can have more information which is a glance away. Looking for something that is in front of you is much more intuitive than finding an application. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means that when you need to switch (or keep information) between contexts it is many times quicker to do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you need to track data in real time, for example stock tickers or reactor core temperatures it is important that this information is accessible at all times. If you only have one monitor this may mean that you have almost no space left for other applications. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To increase productivity with multiple monitors firstly keep dedicated real estate for anything which should contain constantly updating information. If this is a separate monitor all the better. That way you will always know where to look for this information. Secondly keep windows which you are using at concurrently in the foreground as much as possible. It can help to keep logical tasks on different screens. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There comes a point of diminishing returns, where the amount of screen real estate can mean that windows become hard to find. Or everything that you need is already at hand and you won’t make use of the extra monitors.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

The spanning tree protocol runs on switches to prevent loops in the network that can lead in traffic storms.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The configuration you suggest will have 3 switches.  You can either connect these in a simple daisy chain configuration (e.g. sw1 -- wireless router -- sw2) in which case spanning tree won't really do much; or you could try configuring a triangular network ( e.g sw1 -- wireless router -- sw2 -- sw1).  In this configuration the root of the spanning tree will be important.  If sw1 is the spanning tree root then traffic from sw2 to the router will go via sw1 rather than directly; traffic will only flow from sw2 to the router directly if the link between sw1 and sw2 fails.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to configure your network with loops managed switches are mandatory rather than optional.  Trust me, you really don't want to see the effect of a forwarding loop first hand ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many switches now include an option called Auto-MDIX.

The error occurs because there's not enough text in the string to start at array position 1 (and this is zero-based, meaning that it's actually trying to get the second character in the string), i.e. it is at most a one-character string which is not possible considering that even a blank string 'element' would have two characters (the open bracket and the close bracket).

The values are the issued commands. I am using DBus to do what needs to be done but you can use xvkbd to generate real key press events (I found xvkbd very slow it takes seconds to send a simple key combination). tshark-wrapper is a simple wrapper around tshark it executes tshark as root and disables stderr.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/sh&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    sudo tshark &quot;$@&quot; 2&gt; /dev/null&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is the problem. The user needs permission to execute tshark as root without password. This is  really **really** bad thing. The risk could be reduced by putting more aruments in the wrapper and less in the python script and allowing users to execute the wrapper as root.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now about the process of doing this with other keyboards. I know almost nothing about USB and still it was not that hard. Most of my time was spent figuring out how to do unbuffered read from a pipe. I knew from lsusb output that my keyboard is on the 2nd USB interface. So I started capturing with wireshark on usbmon2. The mouse and other hardwares generate a lot of noise so unplug them or at least do not move the mouse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing I noticed was that the extra keys have endpoint ID 0x82 and the normal keys have endpoint ID 0x81. There were some packets at the beginning with 0x80. This is good it can be easily filtered:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.endpoint_number == 0x82&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Normal key press:&#xD;&#xA;![Normal key press][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Extra key press:&#xD;&#xA;![Extra key press][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was easy to see that a key press generates 4 USB packets: 2 for press, 2 for release. In every pair the first packet was sent by the keyboard to the PC and the second was the other way around. It seemed like ACK-s with TCP. The &quot;ACK&quot; was URB-SUBMIT and the normal packet was URB-COMPLETE type. So I decided to filter the &quot;ACK&quot;s and only show normal packets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.urb_type == &quot;C\x01\x82\x03\x02&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;USB &quot;ACK&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there were only 2 packets per key press. Every second had zero application value field and everything else had different values. So I filtered the zeroes and used the other values to identify keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    usb.data != 00:00:00:00&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Extra key release:&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My keyboard is a Slimstar 220 (I hope this does not qualify as spam If it does I remove it.) If you have the same type chances are the unmodified program will work. Otherwise I think at least the application value stuff will be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If anyone feels like writing a real driver based on this data please let me know. I don't like my ugly hack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:** The code is now hopefully reboot-proof.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://a.imagehost.org/0310/normal_key.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://a.imagehost.org/0675/extra_key_press.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://a.imagehost.org/0905/usb_ack.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://a.imagehost.org/0010/extra_key_release.png&#xD;&#xA;" />

Current i7s only overclock by up to 2 speed bins (typically 266MHz). However, the [Lynnfield range when release will apparently be able to do 4 or 5 bins][1] (533 - 677MHz), which would boost a 2.93GHz processor to 3.6GHz on non-parallel workloads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also note that this feature is apparently not dependent on how many cores are in use, but rather how heavily they are used. It is based on the amount of headroom in the TDP that is left so that the processor can overclock without breaking the thermal profile it is designed for. Note however that 'headroom' would usually be due to under-utilised cores, so the point still more or less stands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3570&amp;p=4" />

FCC rules basically state that your device must accept interference even if it causes undesired behavior. Being that these devices use an unlicensed band, you can never be sure when someone starts transmitting on the same channel you are using.  So to that end a wireless &quot;site survey&quot; is in order.  There are some very sophisticated tools for this purpose but those tools get a bit pricey. So this is the poor man's site survey method....  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Within your wireless network utility pull up the connection manager and get it to show you the networks within range.  Each utility is a bit different but they all generally have the same functionality.  Be sure to take notice of the signal level and the channels that are in use.  Any channel you see in use is most likely a channel you want to avoid.  So lets say if you are on set to use channel 6 and you see another SSID also using channel 6, you would want to change your channel to one that is not in use.  Depending on the population density around you, you may have lots of interference or not much at all.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that the best channels to use are 1, 3, 6, 9 and 11.  These channels do not overlap with one another and you stand the best chance of getting good results.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cutting the interference usually solves the problem you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider is that your upstream provider may be having issues.  Cable modems use a shared medium, so high usage in your neighborhood might just appear as such a problem as your connection slows down as a result.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Comcast is particularly noteworthy as their network seems to mulfunction all throughout the day.  I determined that Comcast's DNS servers were not responding and my pages would time out trying to load.  I set my connection to use external DNS servers located on the internet to bypass the flakey DNS from comcast.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a good bit of info, but should give you something to get started with." />

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 rather than 8.10 but I notice that the Ubuntu &quot;blessed&quot; (see the icon to the left of it in Synaptic) version of gvim is vim-gnome, not vim-gtk. This may be different in 8.10.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2/ The error message seems pretty explicit. The version of vim-gtk you're trying to install requires 2.15.0 or greater version of libgtk2.0.0, the Ubuntu blessed version is 2.14.4-0ubuntu2, hence the dependency problem. I think if you want to run that vim-gtk, you'll need to suck down later versions of the dependencies (such as adding GTK itself as a repository if they're not available in the Ubuntu repositories).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3/ Point 2 is especially important if you're getting vim from somewhere other than the Ubuntu repositories. I say this because the online package explorer for Ibex says that vim-gtk 1:7.1.314-3ubuntu3.1 requires libgtk2.0.0 2.14.1 or better (rather than your stated 2.15.0). If you're using a non-Ubuntu repository, Ubuntu specifically states that testing is your responsibility. I personally don't use the non-Ubuntu repositories unless it's **absolutely** required, since you have to ensure that your dependencies are met, and that they don't break existing packages.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Financial organisations aren't the slowest ones to upgrade. Many non-IT companies are even slower, simply because the IT-branch isn't their line of business, so they're saving every penny on IT stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, older software tends to have proven itself. They could keep up and invest in the latest techniques all the time, but who will guarantee them the new technique will become successful? For example, in 1994 a tool called Gupta SQLWindows was introduced as a new development product. It was supposed to become a great RAD development system, ready to compete with Visual Basic. Unfortunately, it also had to compete with another tool called PowerBuilder and both had to compete against Borland Delphi.&#xD;&#xA;Back then I worked for a company that had to decide between SQLWindows, Powerbuilder and Delphi. I advised them to use Delphi, since it seemed to offer the most possibilities but unfortunately, the CEO (who also did some development work) only understood BASIC and Delphi used Pascal as it's root language. Powerbuilder just appeared to be most similar to BASIC so he chose for Powerbuilder and I moved to a company that did use Delphi. Three years later, my old employer was dead-broke and the new company I worked for received a nice order from a financial institute to build some software for them! (In Delphi!!) This bank had just waited to see which technique would be the most successful and then just outsource their development work to a company that used that technique.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And basically, that's what many financial institutes do. They don't do much development themselves but prefer to outsource those projects. It's more secure for them to outsource projects simply because it allows them to cancel those projects without getting stuck with a bunch of software developers who need another job...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, financial organisations also like the principle: &quot;If it ain't broke, don't fix it.&quot; You can find quite a few antique systems which are still in use to keep track of invoices and other data. Why? Because those systems have proven themselves to be reliable. So why upgrade to a new system? That could only introduce more errors to the system." />

Furthermore, a special &quot;guardian&quot; process could keep track of the other processes and take actions when one of the processes seems to be stuck on something. It could even kill and restart the thread, if need be. But speed-wise, it tends to depend on the number of other processes that you have running. In general, you will have between 40 and 75 processes active on a clean Windows system. (Assume 40 for now.)

One key point that 'management types' need to understand is that a pirated copy (DRM bypassed) is not equivalent to a lost sale. It just so happens that people are prepared to pay good money for products when they see the value in those products. **&quot;Copy protection actually increases rather than decreases the piracy of games.&quot;** What left wing nut job said that??

The first is why does this feature exist at all, and the second is why doesn't the GUI (or the command prompt) make it easier to see and manage the feature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It exists because its useful. Several other platforms support multiple data streams per file. On the Mac, they were called [forks][1], for example. I'm reasonably sure that similar things existed in the mainframe world, but can't put my fingers on any explicit examples today.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On modern Windows, it is used to hold extra attributes for a file. You might notice that the Properties box available from Explorer has a Summary tab that in Simple view (I'm on XP, your mileage will differ on the other flavors) includes a bunch of useful fields like Title, Subject, Author, and so forth. That data is stored in an alternate stream, rather than creating some kind of side-car database to hold it all that would get separated from the file too easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An alternate stream is also used to hold the marker that says the file came from an untrusted network source that is applied by both IE and Firefox on downloads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hard question is why there isn't a better UI for noticing that the streams exist at all, and why it is possible to put executable content in them and worse, execute it later. If there is a bug and security risk here, this is it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(filesystem)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Inspired by a comment to another answer, here is one way to find out if your anti-virus and/or anti-malware protection is aware of alternate streams.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Get a copy of the EICAR test file. It is 68 bytes of ASCII text that happens to also be a valid x86 executable. Although completely harmless, it has been agreed by the anti-virus industry to be detected as if it were a real virus. The originators thought that testing AV software with a real virus would be a little too much like testing the fire alarm by lighting the wastebasket on fire...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The EICAR file is:&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Save it with the extension `.COM` and it will execute (unless your AV is paying attention) and print a greeting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be informative to save it in an alternate data stream and run a scan...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[2]: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm" />

Because only WINDOWS XP,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2000 would be compatible with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Magellan. MACINTOSH would not be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatible with Magellan.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Connect the USB cable to the Explorist unit in such a way that the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; USB cable is pointing downwards&#xD;&#xA;&gt; towards the battery case.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. Make sure that the unit is put up in the file transfer mode. After&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connecting the USB cable to the unit&#xD;&#xA;&gt; press menu and press enter in the file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; transfer mode.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Make sure that you have connected the USB cable to the rear port and not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to the front port of the PC. Then your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unit would be detected as a new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hardware under &quot;Removable disk E:\\ or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; G:\\ or F:\\&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. If you have any external devices like web cam or printer connected to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the USB port please remove them.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Also if you have any firewall or antivirus enabled in your PC please go&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ahead and disable them. Then restart&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your PC.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. Then remove the USB cable from your unit and power off the unit and then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connect the USB cable and then power&#xD;&#xA;&gt; on the unit.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the issue still persists, and If&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you could not install the CD then I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; would suggest you to please give a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; call to the technical support&#xD;&#xA;&gt; department number 1-800-707-9971 so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that we would walk you through the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; trouble shooting steps to fix this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; issue. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have further queries, please&#xD;&#xA;&gt; get back to us.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You can also contact our Technical&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Support at 1-800-707-9971 for further&#xD;&#xA;&gt; assistance.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Regards, Steve  Magellan Email&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/lofiversion/index.php?t169809.html" />

Skype is the only IM network&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that supports voice call to and from&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Linux machines. However, with recent&#xD;&#xA;&gt; release of libjingle by Google, it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; now possible to call my friends using&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Google Talk from Linux. psi-jingle&#xD;&#xA;&gt; branch of psi has implemented the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; support of libjingle. I recently&#xD;&#xA;&gt; installed it on my desktop running&#xD;&#xA;&gt; SuSE 9.3 and it works great. Here is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the procedure for installation. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Get the sources either directly from the darcs repository&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; darcs get --partial&#xD;&#xA;&gt; --set-scripts-executable http://dev.psi-im.org/darcs/psi-jingle&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. Install all required packages (use apt)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; apt install speex-devel apt install&#xD;&#xA;&gt; qca-devel&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Compile ORTP from source because the version of package in repository&#xD;&#xA;&gt; was not compatible.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; wget&#xD;&#xA;&gt; http://www.linphone.org/ortp/sources/ortp-0.7.1.tar.gz&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tar zxvf ortp-0.7.1.tar.gz; cd&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ortp-0.7.1 ./configure --prefix=/usr/&#xD;&#xA;&gt; make &amp;&amp; make install&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. Install psi-jingle cd psi-jingle ./configure --enable-jingle&#xD;&#xA;&gt; --with-qca-inc=/usr/lib/qt3/include/ --with-qca-lib=/usr/lib/qt3/lib/   &#xD;&#xA;&gt;            --with-ortp-lib=/usr/lib/ --with-ortp-inc=/usr/include/  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;            --with-glib-inc=/opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0/ --with-glib-lib=/opt/gnome/lib/ &#xD;&#xA;&gt;            --with-glibconfig-inc=/opt/gnome/lib/glib-2.0/include/&#xD;&#xA;&gt; make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Fire up psi and login to Google Talk network and start voice chatting.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; It is important to note that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; psi-jingle is an under development&#xD;&#xA;&gt; code and there may be bugs (although&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it works fine for me). If there are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; problems, check artsd is not running&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and mic is functioning fine. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Note: these instructions will work&#xD;&#xA;&gt; only with 32-bit OS. While I was able&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to successfully compile it on amd64,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the procedure was non-trivial and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; required me to edit many Makefiles and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; source files manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://nileshbansal.blogspot.com/2006/01/google-talk-voice-chat-on-suse.html" />

What's the best software for the geotagging? I've tried [locr][1] and [GPS-Track-Analyse.NET][2], but I'm mainly missing a feature that allows me to easily find the right clock adjustment.

What's the best way to publish GPS tracks and photos in journal format? [TripTracker][3] looks pretty good for an online service - is there something similar that I could run on my own server (would have to be PHP-based)? Another interesting alternative would be something that produces a self-contained KMZ file for use in Google Earth - [PhotoKML][4] is great for the photos, but there should also be a title displayed with the thumbnails (which themselves are nice but not necessary), a journal entry when you click on them, and ideally also the GPS track. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:**&#xD;&#xA;I'd prefer free software, though a modest price tag (up to about $50) would be acceptable for something with compelling features; I'm using Windows XP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.locr.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.gps-freeware.de/Download.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://triptracker.net&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.visualtravelguide.com/Photo-kml.html" />

Free, easy to use. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's flexible, can read or write ZIP files with Unicode, AES encryption, ZIP64, variable compression ratios, self-extracting archives. Sometimes unix utilities expect the timestamp associated to each entry in a zip file in a certain format.  Mac tools (like Archive Utility) expect the timestamp to NOT be in Windows format.  Sometimes apps expect ZIP files to encode the filenames in a particular code page.  It can do any of those things.  The tool allows you to include or exclude files into an archive based on size, or attribute, or timestamp, or filename, or some boolean combination of those criteria. You can say &quot;(mtime &gt; 2009-07-01) AND (size &gt; 1mb)&quot; and it will zip up all files modified after that date with sizes greater than 1mb.  Drag-n-drop works too. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;DotNetZip is primarily a zip library.

A single-process browser would get just one slice where a multi-process browser can get a slice per process. Thus the browser is a bit faster and responds better, but your system in general will be a bit slower. (Unless you only have one tab open.)&#xD;&#xA;Internet Explorer 8 also uses multiple processes. Since many people use their browser quite a lot, it's a good thing to improve the performance of your browser, even though it might slow down other processes...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This technique is actually quite common on Unix systems, where a multi-threaded application would often just translate to an application that would just start a second process to run the separate thread in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Performance-wise, using multiple processes instead of threads will make your system more reliable since a crash of one process won't kill the other ones. Furthermore, a special &quot;guardian&quot; process could keep track of the other processes and take actions when one of the processes seems to be stuck on something. It could even kill and restart the thread, if need be. But speed-wise, it tends to depend on the number of other processes that you have running. In general, you will have between 40 and 75 processes active on a clean Windows system. (Assume 40 for now.) If you open Chrome with 20 tab pages, processing time would then be divided over 60 processes instead of 41. This does slow down the other processes a bit. (But does give you a better browser experience.)" />

The supposed efficiency of the Dvorak layout assumes that you're able to use all 10 fingers.  A smaller screen like that would need a completely different layout.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A layout optimized for the iPhone would need to take different things into account, because you're using thumbs rather than all your fingers.  You'd want some balance of the most common letters on different sides of the screen, for example, to increase the chances that you go back and forth between hands.  And you'd want each letter of common combinations likes &quot;TH&quot; on opposite sides.  This is true for Dvorak as well, but in a different way.  In this case, you might even want two instances of a few select letters so they can always be opposite of each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A layout optimized for a device of a similar size that used a stylus rather than your thumbs would be different still, because there's only one input.  So then you'd want common combinations closer together, rather than opposite.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The point is that keyboard layouts were designed with specific goals in mind.  QWERTY was actually designed to _slow typists down_ to avoid mechanical issues on old typewriters.  _It's deliberately inefficient._  Dvorak was conceived as a recognition that this no longer makes sense, and that the layout should now be intended to encourage speed instead.  But the research behind it still focused on a typist using both hands on a full keyboard, and therefore it isn't necessarily good for a smart phone.  You can probably find a way to get it on your phone, but that doesn't make it a good idea." />

Unless you installed special drivers for your keyboard + mouse wireless then this will confirm that your OS isn't going nuts.  Try to use the computer with a wired keyboard/mouse for a while because your issues seem to be intermittent.   Given that it is X.org, I don't think this is the case. &#xD;&#xA;   * Move the receiver closer to the keyboard and mouse.  Like, much MUCH closer.  Think inches.  I know it is not really useful to have a wireless mouse and keyboard when the receiver has a big USB cable sticking out of it.  This step is testing that the wireless works at all.  If there are still issues with the receiver this close, your hardware is broken, or there is interference. &#xD;&#xA;   * Test for interference with a spectrum analyzer.  You can buy one of [these][1], which works remarkably well for a 2.4GHz region.  I used one once to find out that whenever my neighbor was microwaving something I couldn't get any wifi.  Frustrating. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all else fails, it's probably just cheaper to buy a new setup.

I'll have to check its performance since that would mean even greater savings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 2**:  The Atom powered WHS (I researched one from HP and one from Acer) claim that load power usage is 26 watts and that they can go to sleep @ 3W and turn back on upon accessed automatically.  @ 26w that means 0.6 kwh per day (meaning even faster at less than 1 year ROI).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 3** (Jul 28):  Got my hands on a Fluke meter with data logging capabilities and a clamp and took some samples over time of the power usage of my current PC.

Features that most users probably won't use, yet for developers very useful to use during development.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And easter eggs? Well, many of them just become part of an application simply because developers got bored and started to play with some additional code as part of the project. Often very simple games or fun tricks that are a bit of a stress relief for them, yet for most users just not important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, hidden functionality is often used to improve the development of the project and to provide stress relief for developers." />

It is effectively a clearing house where any application can list the data that was just copied (or cut) and offer it up to any application (including itself) to be pasted. The clipboard contains a list of formats in which the data is available, and if the application chooses to do so, the data itself in some of those formats.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The application that processes a Paste operation then has the option to choose the data format that best suits it. Some applications (e.g. Notepad) will only accept one particular format (such as plain text) and simply do nothing if that format is not available. Others pick a preferred format by default but provide a UI for choosing among alternatives that can be understood by that application.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In principle a program could be written that monitors the clipboard for new content and flattens any non-text content to just plain text. There is an event available to notify such a monitor of new content on the clipboard. However, I suspect that implementing such a thing would break a fair number of programs, and possibly in surprising ways.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The simple workaround in stock XP is to use Notepad to flatten the data when needed, or to use one of the many tools that improve the clipboard by implementing a stack, providing a view of its content, and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to try building a tool yourself, might benefit from [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/621577/clipboard-event-c) over at SO, and its related questions...." />

This physical manifestation can be *re-recorded outside of the device* that has your protections in it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Even if the means of circumvention are complicated or expensive, *only one person has to have the skill and tools*, and the game is over. Note that many have tried and nobody has ever succeeded in preventing this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The people that are unwilling to pay for your material are not going to suddenly buy it because of DRM, so you gain nothing financially, and you hamper legitimate customers for no good reason. The vast majority of consumers prefer paying for a product they enjoy and value. *(This one would be less convincing since I can imagine a lot of 'but what about's)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - By forcing someone, somewhere, to go to the effort of cracking your content for whatever reason they might have, there will now be a superior (more freedom to use) product on the market competing with your own, which legitimate customers have *no way to pay **you** for*." />

If you're not familiar with `cron`, and you're using Ubuntu/GNOME then `sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule`. Then you can open **Scheduled Tasks** from the System &gt;&gt; Preferences menu and use the GUI to set a specific time for a command to run.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The simplest way to schedule a time for Empathy to connect and disconnect is to just schedule jobs to start and stop the program (just use the commands `empathy` and `killall empathy`). The problem is that if we kill Empathy without logging out then you'll still appear signed in for a few minutes until Google discovers that you've timed out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get around that problem we can use [D-Bus][1] to send a [signal to Empathy's backend][2] that asks it to disconnect. There are lots of ways to do this including with `dbus-send` from the command line, but since I'm more familiar with Python I used that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead of configuring your sign-off task to call `killall empathy`, save the following script somewhere (e.g. `~/empathy_signout.py`) and then schedule your task to call that (`python ~/empathy_signout.py`). *Replace the string* `EXAMPLE` *in the fourth line with your Google Talk account name before you save the file.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/usr/bin/env python&#xD;&#xA;    # Disconnect Empathy from Google Talk and kill the program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    # Replace EXAMPLE with your account name (whatever is before the @gmail.com)&#xD;&#xA;    google_acct_name = 'EXAMPLE'&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    import os&#xD;&#xA;    try:&#xD;&#xA;        import dbus&#xD;&#xA;    except ImportError:&#xD;&#xA;       exit('You need the Python dbus bindings,'&#xD;&#xA;            ' type &quot;sudo apt-get install python-dbus&quot;')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    wkname = ('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.gabble.jabber.' + &#xD;&#xA;              google_acct_name +'_40gmail_2ecom_2fTelepathy')&#xD;&#xA;    pathname = '/' + wkname.replace('.','/')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    bus = dbus.SessionBus()&#xD;&#xA;    conn_obj = bus.get_object(wkname, pathname)&#xD;&#xA;    conn_obj.Disconnect(dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    os.system('killall empathy')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This script could be tweaked to avoid the hacky guess of the account name path component, or to sign on also (If quitting the program is a problem).

With TortoiseSVN, you can easily&#xD;&#xA;&gt; diff Word documents (between working&#xD;&#xA;&gt; copy and repository, or between two&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repository revisions). It's really&#xD;&#xA;&gt; slick and definitely recommended.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The other thing to do if you're using&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Word documents in SVN is to add the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [svn:needs-lock][4] property to the Word&#xD;&#xA;&gt; documents. This will prevent two&#xD;&#xA;&gt; people from trying to edit the same&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document at the same time, since&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unfortunately there's no good way to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merge Word documents.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; With the above two things, handling&#xD;&#xA;&gt; revision controlled Word documents is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at least tolerable.

We do that by restricting access to USBSTOR.INF and USBSTORE.PNF in a GPO such that PNP can't automatically install the driver. This is possible because when PNP installs a driver, the installation is performed using the priviledges of the currently logged on user. Secondly, we need to make sure that USBSTOR is not started when a USB storage device is plugged in. For that we use Mark's ADM template. The only minor drawback of my solution is that users with access to USB storage need to manually start USBSTOR before connecting USB storage devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, open an existing GPO or create a new one and open it. Use the security settings of that GPO to specify which computers it affects.&#xD;&#xA;   2. In that GPO, go to Computer Configuration – Windows Settings – Security Settings – File System and create a new entry (right-click File System and select Add File). Specify the location of USBSTOR.INF (usually SystemRoot%\Inf\USBSTOR.INF)&#xD;&#xA;   3. Change the security settings of the new entry. The security settings that you specify here will be enforced on the USBSTOR.INF of every computer to which the GPO is applied. This process is not additive, which means that the previous security settings of USBSTOR.INF will be overwritten by the ones given in the GPO. It is therefore recommended to grant full control to SYSTEM and local administrators. But unlike in the default security settings of USBSTOR.INF, you should not grant any priviledges to Everybody. You do not need to explicitly deny access – just omit an entry for Everybody. Optionally, you can grant read access to a certain group. Members of this group will be able to use USB storage.&#xD;&#xA;   4. Repeat the above two steps for USBSTOR.PNF.&#xD;&#xA;   5. Download USBSTOR.ADM.&#xD;&#xA;   6. Back in the GPO, right-click Administrative Templates under Computer Configuration and select Add/Remove Templates. Click Add and browse to the location of USBSTOR.ADM. Close the dialog.&#xD;&#xA;   7. You should now have an additional entry called Services and Drivers in Administrative Templates. Click on it. If it is empty, select View from the menu and uncheck Show Policies Only. Click back on Services and Drivers in Administrative Templates. It should now show the USB Storage policy. Double click it, select Enabled and pick Disabled from the Startup Type drop down. Again, the policy must be enabled wheras Startup Type must be Disabled.&#xD;&#xA;   8. Close the dialog as well as the GPO and boot/reboot one of your workstations. Make sure no USB strorage device is connected to that computer. Log on with administrative privileges and check the permissions of USBSTOR.INF and USBSTOR.PNF. Check the value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor\Start. It should be 4. It is also ok if the UsbStor key doesn't exist at all.&#xD;&#xA;   9. On the same workstation, log off and back on as a user that should not have access to USB storage. Connect a USB memory stick or a similar device. Nothing should happen. Remove the memory stick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10 . Log on as a user that should have access to USB storage and execute net start usbstor in a command shell or at Start – Run before connecting the memory stick. The memory stick should initialized and mapped to a drive letter. If USBSTOR fails to start, it's probably because this is the first time a memory stick is plugged into the workstation in which case USBSTOR is not yet installed. Nevertheless, the memory stick should be initialized and mapped correctly but you need to reboot in order to reapply the administrative template such that USBSTOR is disabled again. Alternatively, you can disable it manually by downloading and double clicking USBSTOR.REG as well as executing net stop usbstor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;11 . Instruct the users with access to USB storage that they need to execute net start usbstor before they can connect a USB storage device.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source :http://diaryproducts.net/about/operating_systems/windows/disable_usb_sticks&#xD;&#xA;" />

Some things might take some time to get used to if you've never used Vista, but a lot is very intuitive. There are some nice new features making your life a lot better. I like Windows 7 so much I install it on every computer I work with as my primary OS and I haven't missed XP a single minute. There really aren't things you can do in XP that you can't in 7 (and if there are some you probably won't miss them). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just make sure your hardware is compatible and your most important applications are support Windows 7!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plus: I mean just look at the differences in this figure and tell me you like XP more!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To name some differences I quoted from one of the answers by Svish:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Faster startup and shutdown times&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Technically not a new feature, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; very nice still) Windows 7 Libraries&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (I really like these ones myself).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Desktop enhancements like Aero Peek,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Aero Shake, a nice Wallpaper slideshow&#xD;&#xA;&gt; feature&#xD;&#xA; - The new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and brilliant taskbar with jump lists&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and previews. Also lets you pin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; programs so it is like a combined&#xD;&#xA;&gt; quick launch bar and task bar. &#xD;&#xA; - A home&#xD;&#xA;&gt; group feature which makes it super&#xD;&#xA;&gt; simple to share files in your home&#xD;&#xA;&gt; network (seriously, I was surprised&#xD;&#xA;&gt; how easy it actually was to set up!)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Better battery utilization. &#xD;&#xA; - Support&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for touch and multi-touch. &#xD;&#xA; - Much easier&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to connect to wlan hot spots. &#xD;&#xA; - A very&#xD;&#xA;&gt; handy Resource Monitor&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And specifically if you like gaming: Direct X 11&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/14147/what-can-be-done-in-windows-7-that-cant-be-done-in-windows-xp&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/questions/4287/windows-7-features-not-found-in-previous-versions&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bostonpocketpc.com/images/posts/HowtoinstallXPMXPModeonWindows7_2F7E/xpmdesktop_thumb.jpg" />

With TortoiseSVN, you can easily&#xD;&#xA;&gt; diff Word documents (between working&#xD;&#xA;&gt; copy and repository, or between two&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repository revisions). It's really&#xD;&#xA;&gt; slick and definitely recommended.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The other thing to do if you're using&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Word documents in SVN is to add the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [svn:needs-lock][5] property to the Word&#xD;&#xA;&gt; documents. This will prevent two&#xD;&#xA;&gt; people from trying to edit the same&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document at the same time, since&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unfortunately there's no good way to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merge Word documents.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; With the above two things, handling&#xD;&#xA;&gt; revision controlled Word documents is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at least tolerable. It certainly beats&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the alternative of using a shared&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder and track-changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36820/version-control-for-word-documents&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29810/is-version-control-ie-subversion-applicable-in-document-tracking#29837&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tortoisesvn.net/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://newgeeks.blogspot.com/2006/08/word-document-management-using-svn.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.locking.html" />

On my home desktop computer with a Gigabyte 802.11g wireless card, I only ever want to be connected to one wireless network and thus have no need for a service that is automatically scanning for different wireless networks. I found that my wireless card would frequently (every 10 minutes or so) drop my wireless connection for just a moment, long enough to kill any connection-oriented applications (like FTP or AIM) and force me to reconnect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By disabling this service, I noticed a huge improvement in the short &quot;drops&quot; of wireless connectivity. I can now have an active FTP, BitTorrent, or chat session running wirelessly and not worry about it being dropped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To access this service and other Windows services, you can browse to the Control Panel, then Administrative Tools and finally double-click on Services.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, you can launch Windows Run, type services.msc and hit OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the services window you will want to scroll all the way down to Wireless Zero Configuration and right-click the name, then click Properties.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the Service Status area choose Stop to stop the service.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the Startup Type drop-down menu, choose Disabled so that the service doesn't startup the next time you start Windows XP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I found that disabling this service was very helpful, however your results may be different. If you disable this service and then are unable to connect to your router after you restart, try enabling this service again to determine if disabling the service caused the problem. Otherwise make sure your SSID (wireless network name) is in your list of preferred networks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If things are working properly, your wireless connection should function like a wired connection, and you shouldn't have to worry about &quot;dropped&quot; connections in Windows XP ever again!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://paininthetech.com/files/wzc.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://paininthetech.com/files/wzc1.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://paininthetech.com/files/wzc2.png" />

Go to the &quot;Send To&quot; folder under your name in \Windows\Profiles in Windows Explorer (or maybe XP Home puts that directory under the Settings folder, I can't remember).&#xD;&#xA;      2. Right-click in the right-hand pane, where the filenames are. Select &quot;New|Shortcut&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;      3. The &quot;Create Shortcut&quot; wizard will appear. On the first page, type in the path to the executable, or use the &quot;Browse...&quot; button to find it. Click &quot;&quot;Next&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;      4. On the second page, type in a name for your new menu option. I used &quot;File Names to Clipboard&quot;, but pick whatever will be meaningful to you. Click &quot;Finish&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's it, you've got it installed. Now select one or more files, right-click, and move your mouse pointer to &quot;Send To&quot;. A submenu will appear which will include your new command. Choose that command, and a list of the files you've selected, sorted in ascending order, will be on the clipboard. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source :http://members.cox.net/slatteryt/FNtoClip.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://members.cox.net/slatteryt/CFtoClip.exe&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.extrabit.com/copyfilenames/download/" />

Text="Clocks running with incorrect time seems be a common problem with ArchLinux judging by the number of posts on their forums, [like this one][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem seems to be with the `/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime` file.  Quoting from the above forum post:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Look in /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime. If&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the first number on the first line is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; large (bigger than 10 or so), delete&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this file, set your clock again, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reboot. (The file will be recreated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with a small number.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This number is supposed to show how&#xD;&#xA;&gt; many seconds your hardware clock&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drifts each day. It's not too hard to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; accidentally compare the software&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clock with the hardware clock when&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they're not set up right yet, which&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tricks the system into believing your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hardware clock is very inaccurate, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; overcompensating.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that doesn't solve your problem it may be a hibernation issue.  When you say &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; if i turn off the computer and turn it back on a few hours later, the time is all messed up again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are you powering the system down or hibernating it?  If it's the latter, then my guess would be is that the clock is resuming from the time that you hibernated the netbook.  If the clock is always running slow then this is probably the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have suspend and resume scripts they should store the system time to the hardware clock during suspend and then restore it from the hardware on resume.

On Linux, the preferred&#xD;&#xA; method of copy/paste is with the middle mouse button, so this is not a&#xD;&#xA; problem. On Windows, this is a user-interface disaster and it badly&#xD;&#xA; needs to be fixed.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; There are three places you might copy from: text from a Web page, text&#xD;&#xA; from a form field, and text from an external application. There are&#xD;&#xA; two places you might copy to: into a form field, and into an external&#xD;&#xA; application. The address and command bars work like form fields.&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Copying from...&#xD;&#xA;         A web page: 'Y' works, '^C' doesn't&#xD;&#xA;         Form field: 'Y' doesn't work, '^C' does&#xD;&#xA;         Extern application: 'Y' doesn't work, '^C' does&#xD;&#xA;      Copying to...&#xD;&#xA;         Form field: '^V' doesn't work, '^V,^V' does&#xD;&#xA;         External application: '^V' works, '^V,^V' pastes twice&#xD;&#xA;     Or, seen another way&#xD;&#xA;           Copy  Paste&#xD;&#xA;     Page  Y     N/A&#xD;&#xA;     Form  ^C    ^V,^V&#xD;&#xA;     App   ^C    ^V&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Ordinary users won't memorize that table. They'll never figure it out,&#xD;&#xA; because it's not documented explicitly, and they wouldn't read it even&#xD;&#xA; if it was. Instead, they'll use the right-click menu, the only thing&#xD;&#xA; that works everywhere. In fact, a few weeks after I started using&#xD;&#xA; Vimperator, I caught myself doing just that, in a completely unrelated&#xD;&#xA; application, something I had never done before.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; We need to restore ^C and ^V to their original, rightful functions as&#xD;&#xA; copy and paste, which means displacing the ^C=cancel and&#xD;&#xA; ^V=pass-through hotkeys. In fact, both of these hotkeys are unique to&#xD;&#xA; vimperator and do not appear in vim. ^V means 'block visual' in vim,&#xD;&#xA; which doesn't apply in vimperator, so pass-through can be easily&#xD;&#xA; assigned to some other key. I suggest backslash in command mode and&#xD;&#xA; ctrl+backslash in both command and insert modes. That leaves ^C. I&#xD;&#xA; think that should be moved to ^S. This has two good mnemonics: it's&#xD;&#xA; 'stop', and it's also the Unix hotkey for XOFF, which is useless but&#xD;&#xA; semantically similar. ^S is currently &quot;save page as&quot; in vimperator,&#xD;&#xA; which is rarely used and can still be accessed with :save or :saveas.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; Undo is also broken; it was ^Z, but ^Z is not pass-through mode and&#xD;&#xA; there's no way to undo edits in a form field without using the mouse.&#xD;&#xA; I see no reason not to move that to another hotkey, especially since&#xD;&#xA; ^Z in vim means suspend, which is completely unrelated, and&#xD;&#xA; unexpectedly finding yourself in pass-through mode is extremely&#xD;&#xA; disorienting. I can't think of a non-arbitrary hotkey to change this&#xD;&#xA; to, but ^Z was pretty arbitrary in the first place, so any unused&#xD;&#xA; hotkey will do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Soruce : http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/vimperator/2008-October/002359.html" />

It also fits well when viewing two programs side-by-side. With a standard 4:3 monitor both programs look squeezed and I'm constantly using the horizontal scroll bar to see information that won't fit in the window. With a wide screen display the two windows are more square. (Though I still prefer dual or triple monitors for better multitasking it isn't practical to drag two extra monitors when your on the road.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your budget can handle it I would spring for a larger screen. Mine is a 17.3&quot; with a native res of 1600x900, the largest I could afford. I will tell you screen brightness is even more important than size. My last laptop's screen was 15.4&quot;, plenty large enough for most activities but the brightness was so dim I had to work in the dark to see the screen and wound up using an external monitor for day-to-day activities. My new laptop's screen has a very bright LED backlight, which I can view fine even in direct sunlight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I side benefit to the large screen: The laptop is large enough to fit a full size keyboard complete with ten-key number pad without the need for a FN key.

(Be warned: this will erase everything on your drive. Be careful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Plug in your USB Flash Drive&#xD;&#xA; - Open a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start &gt; All Programs &gt; Accessories &gt; Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator”&#xD;&#xA; - Find the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command Prompt window:&#xD;&#xA;    - diskpart&#xD;&#xA;    - list disk&#xD;&#xA; - The number of your USB drive will listed. You’ll need this for the next step.  I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1.&#xD;&#xA; - Format the drive by typing the next instructions into the same window. Replace the number “1” with the number of your disk below.&#xD;&#xA;    - select disk 1&#xD;&#xA;    - clean&#xD;&#xA;    - create partition primary&#xD;&#xA;    - select partition 1&#xD;&#xA;    - active&#xD;&#xA;    - format fs=NTFS&#xD;&#xA;    - assign&#xD;&#xA;    - exit&#xD;&#xA; - When that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Make the Drive Bootable** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next we’ll use the bootsect utility that comes on the Vista or Windows 7 disk to make the flash drive bootable.

I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer:&#xD;&#xA;bootsect /nt60 g:&#xD;&#xA; - You can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Copy the installation DVD to the USB drive**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest way is to use Windows explorer to copy all of the files on your DVD on to the formatted flash drive.  After you’ve copied all of the files the disk you are ready to go.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Set your BIOS to boot from USB**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is where you’re on your own since every computer is different.

This gives them access to everything in memory including the encryption key that keeps your data secure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the short answer is that file shredding is still needed if you do not want others to potentially have access to the data.  Even a fully encrypted hard drive still can be broken by a person with the right skills.  Just look at Bruce Schneier.  He makes a living as a consultant training people how to protect from these kinds of threats.  A cryptanalyst could certainly get in and gain access to the data should they have sufficient motivation and enough computer power to throw at the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another note on many of these encryption schemes.  The only truly secure encryption method is a &quot;One Time Pad&quot;... Everything else generally has a mathematical solution which is how they know when they have cracked the code. A one time pad is not breakable with any amount of processing power because it is not a math problem but a problem of knowledge." />

Then all you have to do is sync the secondary disk, which should be a lot smaller.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I recommend following the link, since it pretty clearly explains what you can do and why it's a good idea. Plus when you're looking for a way to slim down your primary VHD, go read Jeff's post @ Coding Horror: [Creating Smaller Virtual Machines][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Right off the bat, a post by Roy Osherove pointed me in the right direction: How to use Virtual PC and still save lots of room: differencing disks. The concept is similar to backup strategies. What you are doing is creating a &quot;base&quot; VPC and install the most common things that you'll use in almost all situations.  Then after prep'ing it, you create a new virtual hard drive (*.VHD file), mark it as a differencing disk, and continue installing additional apps onto this disk. The differencing disk contains the &quot;different&quot; part between the two VHD files. So what have you gained?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Drive space: if you have have two VPC's that each take up 7GB, you're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consuming 14GB (I ~really~ hope you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; didn't just learn something). But if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you have a base disk that is 3GB,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; containing the core of all your VPCs,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and two differencing disks, each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; taking up 4GB, you're now only&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consuming 11GB. Sure, this may only be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a 23% increase in disk space, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consider that this is only two VPCs.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Factor in 3 VPCs, and you're now&#xD;&#xA;&gt; saving 7GB or 33%. The more VPCs, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more space you save, but obviously the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; law of diminishing returns is in full&#xD;&#xA;&gt; effect.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Speed of running up a new VPC: if you created every VPC from scratch,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you'd have to go through the OS&#xD;&#xA;&gt; install, not to mention hotfixes and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; extra components (like a web server,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; directory service, etc) as well as any&#xD;&#xA;&gt; core applications every single time&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you need a new VPC. I've left out that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; installing an OS in a VPC (before you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; install the Virtual Machine Additions)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is a SLOW process... much slower than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; on a physical machine. But, if you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; used differencing disks, you only have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to build your OS with the core&#xD;&#xA;&gt; components, service packs, hotfixes,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and core applications one time. Then,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; when you needed a new VPC, create a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new differencing disk, get the latest&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OS hotfixes, install the apps you need&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that aren't on your base, and you're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hitting the ground running much faster&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than having to install a new OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/articles/UseVirtualPCsDifferencingDisksToYourAdvantage.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000639.html" />

For example you may set your \Users\[username]\Downloads directory to display in Details view, however if you copy a picture, song or video into the directory, the next time you view its contents they may be displaying in Large Icons view. Even if you go back and change the view type, it may reset itself once again the next time you place a different file type in that directory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's a genuine issue, and one which doesn't have any logical explanation - fortunately it can be permanently resolved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Solution**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Open the Registry Editor and go to the following keys:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Right-click on the Bags key in the left pane and select Delete, then do the same thing for BagMRU. This will remove most existing customizations for things like window sizes, positions and views. While still in the same place in the Registry Editor, you will need to manually recreate one of these keys with a new setting. Right-click on the following key in the left pane:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Create a new key called Bags to replace the one you just deleted. Right-click on Bags, select New&gt;Key and name this new key AllFolders. Right-click on AllFolders, select New&gt;Key and name this new key Shell. The end result should look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Now left-click on the last Shell key and in the right pane right-click in an empty area and select New&gt;String Value. Name this new string FolderType and once created, double-click on it and in the Value Data box you can set the default view which all folders will initially take (unless otherwise specified) by entering one of the following values:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    - NotSpecified&#xD;&#xA;    - Contacts&#xD;&#xA;    - Documents&#xD;&#xA;    - Music&#xD;&#xA;    - Pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For example if you enter Documents in the FolderType Value Data box (which I recommend), then all folders for which you do not manually set a view will default to the standard Documents folder view as you set it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now in Windows Explorer go to your \Users\[username]\ directory and for each of the main folder types under there (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos), make sure that you set the view you wish, including things like choosing which columns to show and how wide they each are, the size of any icons/thumbnails, the way in which they are sorted, etc. As you make the changes, for each folder click the Organize button at the top of Windows Explorer, select 'Folder and Search Options', go to the View tab and click the 'Apply to Folders' button. This will set this view for all folders of that same type, and this method also means that should you copy files of any other type into a folder, it will not alter that folder's view settings - from now on the settings should remain exactly as you leave them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update: There is one more step which can help ensure these settings remain fixed. Go to the following key:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Left-click on the Shell key and in the right pane, if you can see BagMRU Size then there is no need to undertake this step. If it isn't there however, right-click and select New&gt;DWORD 32-bit Value and name it BagMRU Size. Now set this value to 10000 in Decimal view (or 2710 in Hexadecimal view).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've used this solution for quite a while now without Vista once resetting or changing my folder views, so I can guarantee that it works if applied correctly. If you still find your folder views changing or resetting, or wish to conduct other forms of customization, see the Windows Explorer chapter of the TGTC for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.tweakguides.com/VA_4.html" />

For example, on a QWERTY keyboard, &quot;Y&quot; is next to &quot;T&quot;, so when I type &quot;YESY&quot;, the phone knows that I probably meant to type &quot;TEST&quot;.  It's important to recognize that not only does the phone have to know that &quot;Y&quot; is next to &quot;T&quot; (which is easy), but it also has to know, quickly, what other English words I might have meant, considering that both &quot;U&quot; and &quot;T&quot; are next to &quot;Y&quot;, both &quot;W&quot; and &quot;R&quot; are next to &quot;E&quot;, etc.  This is hard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In other words, the iPhone's English dictionary is almost certainly indexed and optimized based on the kinds of common mistakes made by QWERTY users.  Rearrange the letters and, sure, the iPhone will know that in Dvorak, &quot;Y&quot; is next to &quot;P&quot;, not &quot;T&quot; -- but its dictionary is probably not set up to quickly look up words that replace Y's with P's.  For this reason, and considering how important auto-correct is to the smooth user-experience of the iPhone, I doubt Apple will enable Dvorak keyboards anytime in the near future.  As a dedicated user of Dvorak keyboards, this bums me out, but I still love my iPhone." />

Now I know. It was unexpected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone encountered and resolved this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A little background:&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;I am running Windows 7 RC inside VMWare Fusion 2 (just updated a few months back) on a MacBook (Bitterly not Pro) aluminum-body. Windows 7 occasionally will shut down. This isn't a quick turn-off, it's a shutdown where all the programs are exited, the system waits until they quit (and Civ4 doesn't prompt me to save), it even installed Windows Updates before restarting. And yes it is restarting right after the shutdown.  Because I run a game in full screen mode I do not notice any dialog with a countdown timer or anything like that that might be a warning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I have iStat on my dashboard widgets I can see about 8 temperature monitors. I have seen the CPU get up to 74C before, but during the shutdown, though it seemed hot to the touch (always is), it read 61C for the CPU, 60C for heatsink A, 50C for heatsink B and in the 30s-40s for the enclosure and harddrives. As I type this now, the temps are actually higher, so I don't think the temperature caused it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have at least six such events dating first from 5/17 which was a week after installing Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did find one information level warning from USER32 in the system log that says:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    The process C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe (DLAMBLIN-WIN7) has initiated the restart of&#xD;&#xA;    computer DLAMBLIN-WIN7 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason:&#xD;&#xA;     Operating System: Recovery (Planned)&#xD;&#xA;     Reason Code: 0x80020002&#xD;&#xA;     Shutdown Type: restart&#xD;&#xA;     Comment: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And another 15 minutes before that from Windows Update:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, &#xD;&#xA;      the computer will be restarted within 15 minutes: &#xD;&#xA;    - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Release Candidate&#xD;&#xA;      for x64-based Systems (KB972260)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which I think kind of explains it. Though I don't know why restarting after an update would create an error event of &quot;shutdown was unexpected&quot;, isn't that pretty odd?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, how do I set it to never restart after an update unless I click something.&#xD;&#xA;" />

If you're not familiar with `cron`, and you're using Ubuntu/GNOME then `sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule`. Then you can open **Scheduled Tasks** from the System &gt;&gt; Preferences menu and use the GUI to set a specific time for a command to run.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The simplest way to schedule a time for Empathy to connect and disconnect is to just schedule jobs to start and stop the program (just use the commands `empathy` and `killall empathy`). The problem is that if we kill Empathy without logging out then you'll still appear signed in for a few minutes until Google discovers that you've timed out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get around that problem we can use [D-Bus][1] to send a [signal to Empathy's backend][2] that asks it to disconnect. There are lots of ways to do this including with `dbus-send` from the command line, but since I'm more familiar with Python I used that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead of configuring your sign-off task to call `killall empathy`, save the following script somewhere (e.g. `~/empathy_signout.py`) and then schedule your task to call that (`python ~/empathy_signout.py`). *Replace the string* `EXAMPLE` *in the fourth line with your Google Talk account name before you save the file.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/usr/bin/env python&#xD;&#xA;    # Disconnect Empathy from Google Talk and kill the program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    # Replace EXAMPLE below with your account name (whatever is before @gmail.com)&#xD;&#xA;    google_acct_name = 'EXAMPLE'&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    import os&#xD;&#xA;    try:&#xD;&#xA;        import dbus&#xD;&#xA;    except ImportError:&#xD;&#xA;       exit('You need the Python dbus bindings,'&#xD;&#xA;            ' type &quot;sudo apt-get install python-dbus&quot;.')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    wkname = ('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.gabble.jabber.' + &#xD;&#xA;              google_acct_name + '_40gmail_2ecom_2fTelepathy')&#xD;&#xA;    pathname = '/' + wkname.replace('.', '/')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    bus = dbus.SessionBus()&#xD;&#xA;    conn_obj = bus.get_object(wkname, pathname)&#xD;&#xA;    conn_obj.Disconnect(dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    os.system('killall empathy')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This script could be tweaked to avoid the hacky guess of the account name path component, or to sign on also (If quitting the program is a problem).

Windows 7 occasionally will shut down. This isn't a quick turn-off, it's a shutdown where all the programs are exited, the system waits until they quit (and Civ4 doesn't prompt me to save), it even installed Windows Updates before restarting. And yes it is restarting right after the shutdown.  Because I run a game in full screen mode I do not notice any dialog with a countdown timer or anything like that that might be a warning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I have iStat on my dashboard widgets I can see about 8 temperature monitors. I have seen the CPU get up to 74C before, but during the shutdown, though it seemed hot to the touch (always is), it read 61C for the CPU, 60C for heatsink A, 50C for heatsink B and in the 30s-40s for the enclosure and harddrives. As I type this now, the temps are actually higher, so I don't think the temperature caused it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have at least six such events dating first from 5/17 which was a week after installing Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did find one information level warning from USER32 in the system log that says:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    The process C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe (DLAMBLIN-WIN7) has initiated the restart of&#xD;&#xA;    computer DLAMBLIN-WIN7 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason:&#xD;&#xA;     Operating System: Recovery (Planned)&#xD;&#xA;     Reason Code: 0x80020002&#xD;&#xA;     Shutdown Type: restart&#xD;&#xA;     Comment: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And another 15 minutes before that from Windows Update:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, &#xD;&#xA;      the computer will be restarted within 15 minutes: &#xD;&#xA;    - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Release Candidate&#xD;&#xA;      for x64-based Systems (KB972260)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which I think kind of explains it. Though I don't know why restarting after an update would create an error event of &quot;shutdown was unexpected&quot;, isn't that pretty odd?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, how do I set it to never restart after an update unless I click something.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Application of solution:&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;As [fretje][1] reminded me, there's a couple of configurable settings for this, in windows 7 they're much in the same place as in Windows 2000 SP3 and XP SP1. Running `gpedit.msc` pops up a window that looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![gpedit.msc](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/windows-update-policy-screenshot.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Windows 7 has changed the order and added a couple of newer options I've italicized:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Do not display 'Install Updates and Shut Down' in Shut Down Windows dialog box&#xD;&#xA; - Do not adjust default option to 'Install Updates and Shut Down' in Shut Down Windows dialog box&#xD;&#xA; - *Enabling Windows Power Management to automatically wake up the system to install scheduled updates*&#xD;&#xA; - Configure Automatic Updates&#xD;&#xA; - Specify intranet Microsoft update service location&#xD;&#xA; - Automatic Updates detection frequency&#xD;&#xA; - *Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications*&#xD;&#xA; - *Turn on Software Notifications*&#xD;&#xA; 9. Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation&#xD;&#xA; - *Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Updates*&#xD;&#xA; - No auto-restart *with logged-on users* for scheduled Automatic Updates&#xD;&#xA; - Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations.&#xD;&#xA; - Delay Restart for scheduled installations&#xD;&#xA; - Reschedule Automatic Updates scheduled installations&#xD;&#xA; - Enable Client Side targeting&#xD;&#xA; - Allow signed updates from an intranet Microsoft update service&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally I chose to enable 9, 11, 12, and 13. 9 enables only those updates that do not have to restart Windows nor stop a service. Enabling 11 actually disables the auto-restart. 12 and 13 were enabled and set to their max values with the scroll wheel. 16 sounds good but won't affect users lacking their own update server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/users/344/fretje" />

Subversion itself comes from the UNIX world, the Windows version therefore assumes similar performance characteristics.&#xD;&#xA;2. NTFS performance really isn't great with gazillions of small files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What you are seeing is simply an artifact of something designed for a particular operating system with performance assumptions on that operating systems. This usually breaks down badly, when taken to other systems. Other examples would be forking vs. threading. On UNIX-likes the traditional way of parallizing something is just to spawn another process. On Windows, where processes take at least five times longer to start, this is a really bad idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, you can't just take any artifacts of a particular OS to be granted on any other one with vastly different architecture. Also don't forget that NTFS has many file system features that were absent in UNIX file systems widely in use at that point, such as journaling and ACLs. Those things come at a cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Some day, when I have lots of free time, I was planning to write a SVN filesystem module which takes advantage of features you have on NTFS, such as transaction support (should eliminate the &quot;touching millions of small files issue&quot;) and alternate data streams (should eliminate the need of the separate `.svn` directory). It'd be a nice thing to have but I doubt the SVN devs will get around implementing such things in the foreseeable future.&lt;/sup&gt;" />

This usually breaks down badly, when taken to other systems. Other examples would be forking vs. threading.

On Windows, where processes take at least five times longer to start, this is a really bad idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, you can't just take any artifacts of a particular OS to be granted on any other one with vastly different architecture. Also don't forget that NTFS has many file system features that were absent in UNIX file systems widely in use at that point, such as journaling and ACLs. Those things come at a cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some day, when I have lots of free time, I was planning to write a SVN filesystem module which takes advantage of features you have on NTFS, such as transaction support (should eliminate the &quot;touching millions of small files issue&quot;) and alternate data streams (should eliminate the need of the separate `.svn` directory). It'd be a nice thing to have but I doubt the SVN devs will get around implementing such things in the foreseeable future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Side note:* A single update on a large SVN repository I am using took around 250,000 file operations.

It sounds really cool when you read about it. Ext3 performs alright up to about 95% disk use, while the MFT means that NTFS doesn't really want you to use more than 90% of your disk. One of the differences here is what happens when you create a small file. If a file is smaller than a block size, it is not written to it's own block but rather is stored in the MFT. This is nice if the file stays exactly the way it was when created. In practice though, it means that when svn touches a file to create it, then adds to that file, or modifies a small file, the operation is pretty slow. Also just reading lots of small files puts some stress on the MFT where they all reside, with multiples per block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/ntfs/archMFT-c.html" />

It sounds really cool when you read about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can see that ext3 performs alright up to about 95% disk use, while the existence of the MFT means that NTFS doesn't really want you to use more than 90% of your disk. But I'll assume that's not your problem, and that your problem is with the many operations on many small files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the differences here is what happens when you create a small file. If a file is smaller than a block size, it is not written to it's own block but rather is stored in the MFT. This is nice if the file stays exactly the way it was when created. In practice though, it means that when svn touches a file to create it, then adds to that file, removes from it, or just modifies it by not enough to move it to it's own block, the operation is pretty slow. Also just reading lots of small files puts some stress on the MFT where they all reside, with multiples per block. Why would it do this? It's preemptively avoiding fragmentation and using more of the blocks more effectively, and in general that's a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In ext2 and 3 by contrast, file blocks for every file are stored next to where the directory metadata is for the directory they're in (when possible, if your disk is unfragmented and you have about 20% space free). This means that as svn is opening up directories, a number of blocks get cached basically for free in that 16mb cache on your drive, and then again in the kernel's cache. Those files might include the .svn file and the revision files for your last update. This is handy since those are likely some of the files svn is looking at next. NTFS doesn't get to do this, though large parts of the MFT should be cached in the system, they might not be the parts you will want next.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/ntfs/archMFT-c.html" />

It's too simple when it needs to be complex, and too complex when it needs to be simple.  Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The column view insists on generating (mostly worthless) preview images for movies, which means lots of beachballs when navigating around a folder with movies.  Even worse if it's a network drive.&#xD;&#xA; * It leaves little .DS_Store files everywhere, which really irritates other users on network drives.  (This can be prevented -- see [this osxdaily hint][1] for details, thanks jasonh)&#xD;&#xA; * It can be hard to navigate around a file hierarchy using just the keyboard, as sometimes Finder doesn't let you easily go back up a directory after making a folder with the left arrow key.  You can get back up by pressing right + left... so weird.&#xD;&#xA; * Although they share the same interface and appearance, the file open/save dialog and the finder have different shortcuts.  For example, command+d in file open/save goes to your desktop, but command+d in finder duplicates an item. (thx @jtbandes for pointing out that shift+command+d is actually the correct shortcut which works in both places.  Still, why bother having an extra shortcut which is also different in the big finder?)&#xD;&#xA; * Per-folder view options -- this is *very* confusing for new users.&#xD;&#xA; * When making zipfiles, it makes a bizarre structure which is hidden to other Mac users but visible to everybody else in the computing world.&#xD;&#xA; * No support for RAR?  Geez.&#xD;&#xA; * Quicklook plugins are few and far between, and many of them are also buggy.  Lots of basic file types aren't shown at all, such as XML files.&#xD;&#xA; * Finder never seems to remember how big you want your windows to be.  I've found it's better just to learn to live with the default size, as it's a losing battle to try to adjust it to your liking.&#xD;&#xA; * You can't restore items in the trash to their previous locations, you can only drag them somewhere else.&#xD;&#xA; * Enter should open files, not rename them.  Sorry long-time mac users, windows got it right here.  Look at any recent convert (or older person, like my mother), and you inevitably find of files they've accidentally renamed to &quot;asdf&quot; and can't figure out how to change back, since &quot;rename&quot; isn't anywhere in the menu.&#xD;&#xA; * Not a spotlight fan?  Tough.  You can't get rid of the spotlight results in any panels, even if they are empty.&#xD;&#xA; * Undo often forgets the last action, especially if you do something, and then switch applications.&#xD;&#xA; * Some file types just don't remember to open with the program you want.  I've pretty much given up trying to get my Mac to open XML files in gVim, not Dashcode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm probably going to think of tons of other annoyances later... so expect some edits to this post. ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://osxdaily.com/2007/05/29/stop-ds_store-file-creation-on-network-connections/" />

But you're basically still doing the above, except that you might get better NIC and USB support.&#xD;&#xA; 6. EMULATE. [DosBox][4] is so much easier to work with than a PC AT.&#xD;&#xA; 7. Periodically move the drive. This is much easier if you just use the drive in USB mode and set your BIOS to support USB drives in legacy mode. Otherwise it's very annoying to have to open stuff and remove the 40 pin IDE and 4 pin power molex.&#xD;&#xA; 8. Get a super new-fangled bios, or install grub. NetBoot this machine off of a `tftp` server that hosts a mini-linux system that only runs dosBox or freeDOS with drives mapped to an `nfs` server. Now any time you turn off your dos machine you can mount and work with the image file and other files on your main machine or server. This is actually a lot of work, but you'll feel like some kind of DOS genius.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.omen.com/dosd.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://archives.thebbs.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://arachne.cz/index.php?indexid=2&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.dosbox.com/" />

Many MP3 players, from car stereos that play data CDs loaded with MP3s to Ipods to Windows Media Player can read this data from the MP3 file itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The data is stored in the file itself, in a special part of the file. One section of the file contains the encoded sounds, the music, and another contains these tags. Most of my MP3 files contain both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags, in addition to the encoded music, so that wherever I play the MP3, I can see the track name and artist name and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several databases of tags out there on the interest. Music Brainz is one. FreeDB.Org (http://www.freedb.org/) is an older one. If you CD ripper supports accessing such databases, getting your MP3 files tagged is a snap - usually there is an option to query the database, and then you have a bunch of tags that match the CD you just ripped. Some media applications do this automatically for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like Foobar2000 for seeing, and setting, all tags including arbitrarily named tags. I like MP3BookMarkHelper for setting/changing tags for a group of files, for example a multi-CD recording where I want to change the Artist tag for all the tracks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one thing I have found, especially with classical music, is that many people have different opinions about the &quot;correct&quot; way to tag MP3 files. For example, should the composer be the Artist? Should the Conductor be so enshrined? What about the orchestra or string quartet? A nice feature of ID3v2 is that there are many more tags defined in the standard, and it also supports the creation of custom tags, so you can tag your files in a way that you like." />

This was based on 86-DOS formerly known as QDOS. Eventually IBM agreed to sell CP/M for PCs and DRI priced CP/M-86 at 4x the price of PC-DOS or MS-DOS. Eventually they saw that this wasn't working and made an MS-DOS compatible OS called DR-DOS. Eventually it rocked with a GEM interface and all that. But none of that mattered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now DRI was sold to Novell when Novell decided they needed to kill Microsoft because Windows 3.1 supported incompatible networking. This had nothing to do with Digital Equipment Corporation suing Intel and winning but loosing so much money it had to sell things to... Intel, because despite the name, DRI was not owned by DEC. And so Novell released Novell DR-DOS 7. Since they also got involved with Linux and other stuff they got bored of DOS and sold it to Caldera.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When Windows 95 wouldn't run on DR-DOS, Caldera sued Microsoft. I think they sort of won that one with a settlement. Caldera thought they could do more with DR-DOS if it was open sourced. So they released OpenDOS and Caldera Open DR-DOS. This was released as versions 7.01 and 7.02. Mysteriously they decided to not make 7.03 open source. And then they thought it made more sense on embedded devices and moved it to a division that became Lineo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lineo released a couple versions of &quot;Caldera&quot; DR-DOS 7 too. They might have been kinda buggy. Lineo sort of collapsed, and metamorphosed into DeviceLogics which released DR-DOS 8. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the confusing parts are:  &#xD;&#xA;What happened to 8, At drdos.com you can only get 7.03 and it costs money?  &#xD;&#xA;What happened to the source for 7.01 and 7.02? And also the binary distribution?  &#xD;&#xA;What's different in 8, and 7.03 that would be missing from the Open versions?  &#xD;&#xA;All this aside, are any of these version better than FreeDOS is now?

They have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continued to sell DR-DOS for use in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; embedded systems. DR-DOS 8.0 was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; released on 30 March 2004 featuring&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAT32 and large disk support, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ability to boot from ROM or Flash,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; multitasking and a DPMI memory&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manager. This version was based on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; kernel from version 7.03. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; company then split into Devicelogics&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Inc. and DRDOS Inc, which released&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DR-DOS 8.1 (with better FAT32 support)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in autumn 2005. This version was not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; based upon version 8.0, but was a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; complete rewrite. Both 8.0 and 8.1&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have now been pulled (because of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; discoveries outlined below), and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; replaced with Caldera DR DOS 7.03.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Aside from selling copies of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; operating system, the DR DOS Inc.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; website lists a buyout option for DR&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DOS; the asking price is $25,000.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The OpenDOS 7.01 source code is still&#xD;&#xA;&gt; actively being developed by The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; founded in July 2002 in an attempt to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bring the functionality of DR-DOS up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to parity with modern PC operating&#xD;&#xA;&gt; systems. The project's efforts have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resulted so far in adding native&#xD;&#xA;&gt; support for large disks (LBA) and the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAT32 filesystem. There were also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; several other enhancements, including&#xD;&#xA;&gt; improved memory management and support&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for the new FAT+ filesystem extension&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which allows files of almost 256 GB in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; size on normal FAT partitions. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; project remains in active development&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as of 2008.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In October 2005, it was discovered&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that DR-DOS 8.1 included several&#xD;&#xA;&gt; utilities from FreeDOS and other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sources and that the kernel was an&#xD;&#xA;&gt; outdated version of the Enhanced&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DR-DOS kernel. DR-DOS Inc. failed to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; comply with the GNU General Public&#xD;&#xA;&gt; License (GPL) by not crediting the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FreeDOS utilities to their authors and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; including the source code. After&#xD;&#xA;&gt; complaints from FreeDOS developers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (including the suggestion to provide&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the source code, and hence comply with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the GPL), DR DOS Inc. instead pulled&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all 8.x versions (including the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unaffected DR-DOS 8.0) from their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-DOS" />

It actually talks to the keyboard a little differently.  &#xD;&#xA;      - If you get it in a command line window then it is more likely driver or hardware.&#xD;&#xA;      - If you don't get it in a command line window then it is software running at a higher level (user launched application).&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;If you don't know the pattern (if there is one) then it will be hard to know if you have fixed it unless you find obvious [hardware][1] or [software][2] that is causing the problem.  If it does have a predictable pattern then try booking a [Live Linux][3] as was suggested - then you can test the required number of times (or usage pattern) to see if the problem reappears or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Hardware**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It sounds like you eliminated the keyboard or the USB port, but it could also be the motherboard.  If booting to Linux can reproduce the problem, then it is your motherboard or BIOS.  If not then we know it is related to your software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Malware / Virus**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A malware and virus scan is a good idea.  I used to do tech support and it was surprising how often someone would have some really weird behavior, and we suggested it was a virus and they would deny it, but then when they ran a scan (with updated signatures) it would return positive (and usually a pretty heavy infestation).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**User Accounts**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also might try creating a new user on XP and see if that user gets the behavior too.  If not then it is probably software being ran on the other user account.  Slowly start installing it for the new user until you see which one causes it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Software**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download [WinPatrol][4] (it is free) and look at what is running on start up.  Then start disabling things and see if you can disrupt the pattern.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Environmental**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I were a betting man this is what I would ***put my money on***.  I remember one time I was helping a guy on tech support and I suggested something was spilling in the keyboard (most common cause) and he swore that no one would ever spill anything on the keyboard.  Then after we troubleshot pretty much everything else software related he picks up the keyboard and water pours out on him.  Turns out the keyboard was sitting on the floor near the kitchen, and the kids had spilled water in the kitchen, which flowed out and into the carpet, which got in the keyboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*It gets better.*  After he poured the water out he discovered the keyboard was infested with ants.  At this point he was getting really grumpy with his wife and kids about the no food or drink near the computer rule.  I told him that tech support didn't support ants in the keyboard.  He was going to try running it through the dishwasher.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Ants!][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could try some bug spray as a preventative measure, but your mileage may vary.  Even though you replaced the keyboard, the ants may have come back due to crumbs near by.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/ae83/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/entertainment/replacekeys/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.slax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.winpatrol.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.makezine.com/blog/800px-Meat_eater_ant_feeding_on_honey02.jpg" />

You also require some extra resources to virtualize stuff as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Excerpt from GRC:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*• How does Hardware Virtualization help with security?*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*“Virtual Machine” technology is used to create fully contained environments that can be used to insulate the real hosting operating system from any actions taken by software running within the “virtual” environment. Although this security benefiting virtual machine technology has been used for many years, its widespread adoption has been slowed down by the significant performance overhead imposed by software emulation of the virtual environment. Intel's and AMD's native hardware support for virtual machines means that virtually all of this emulation overhead can be eliminated from both the host and virtual environments. This makes the use of virtual machines for security containment much more practical.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*The second benefit of hardware support is that even malicious software running with maximum privileges in the system's kernel is unable to escape from virtual containment. Thus, hardware support for virtual machine technology introduces the possibility of creating a “hypervisor” to operate at a hardware-enforced level below the operating system “supervisor” which opens many exciting possibilities for further enhancing the system's security. It will likely be several years before these capabilities are offered natively within Windows, but we might expect to see third-party security software publishers taking advantage of these features in the near future.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **1.** From reading this I guess it requires HV due to security purposes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **2.** Well if your missing HV then it isn't going to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.grc.com/securable.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.grc.com/freeware/AllFeatures.png" />

Will try to recalibrate it several times in a row.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd buy a new battery if I knew if it is battery fault, not a notebook's.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any suggestions? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After recalibration, my battery status now displays battery capacity of 1500 mAh. But with every recalibration (or simply when I use notebook without power adapter plugged in) this number changes in the range from 200 mAh to 1700 mAh.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also I've noticed that cycle count changes rather slowly. It is now 39, it was 37 when I've started recalibration, and I went through the process at least ten times...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the main question is: does it look like that replacing the battery would help me (or does it look like this is notebook's problem)? I guess I should try replacing the battery.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.raynersoftware.com/ibatt/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://superuser.com/users/482/arjan-van-bentem&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490" />

In XP this will select the file name including the extension to allow easy renaming (try it and see). In Vista it behaves a little differently whereby the file name is selected but the extension is not, making it possible to type in a new name without over-writing the extension.&#xD;&#xA; - Phlox provides this same behavior as in Vista when pressing f2 in XP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**More notes on this program:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can be enabled and disabled through the program’s icon in the system tray.&#xD;&#xA;While it works really well in general, I noticed at times that it becomes less responsive and might stop working and require a program restart (a bug, perhaps?)&#xD;&#xA;Memory use: approx 5 megs. Not a lot, but it seems that something like this should have been smaller.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The verdict:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you’ve known about this function in Vista, (or Mac or Linux OS’s) and thought that it would be useful, well… there you have it. My only criticism is the 5 megs in memory, not because it is a lot necessarily but because it may be big enough for many people to choose to opt out.

I tried it a couple of versions ago and wasn't very impressed. But it looks like I should take another look at the latest version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Inkscape](http://www.inkscape.org/) is a vector drawing tool that aims to support the complete [SVG](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics) standard. It is oriented more towards graphic arts than flowcharts, but certainly can be used for either. I have and use Inkscape, and it meets my simple needs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If you are primarily interested in flow charts and other graph-like diagrams, then it is possible that the [AT&amp;T Graphviz](http://www.graphviz.org/) tools can be used to create your drawings for you from a textual representation of the graph. I personally use it to draw diagrams that document finite state machines, but it has lots of uses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If you specifically want to draw sketches of possible graphical user interface organizations, then take a look at [Balsamiq Mockups](http://www.balsamiq.com/). It produces drawings that look like they might have been sketched on a napkin, yet they can be edited and even linked together to produce a mockup of a complex system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Open Office](http://why.openoffice.org/why_great.html) has Draw, which the marketing hype claims can do all kinds of amazing and wonderful things. I haven't used it, and can't make any claims about it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

After trawling hours upon hours of help sites, looking at pictures, etc, i figured out my mistake.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you buy an intel CPU (with stock heatsink), the heatsink comes with a pad of thermal compound on it, and a shrinkwrap packaging around it (plastic) to keep it in place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So THAT'S why it was so difficult to clasp into place... I hadn't realised that was supposed to be removed. Meaning instead of having a well cooled cpu, i actually had PLASTIC between it and the heatsink, effectively INSULATING it.

To add an attachment to your Gmail Drive from within Gmail, just forward the email to yourself, changing the subject to fit the Gmail Drive format. For example, if someone sent you a file called resume.doc, just forward the email to yourself with a subject of GMAILFS: /resume.doc and it should show up in the root of your Gmail Drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Create an Attachments label and filter for all attachments: The setup I'm describing here will allow you to **access all of your Gmail attachments through gDisk or gSpace anytime**, automatically.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Install gSpace or gDrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's time to create an attachment label. To do so, click the New Label button and create a new label (I used Attachments). Hit OK and gDisk will create that label in your Gmail account with .gDisk appended to it—for example, Attachments.gDisk. (If you're curious, the answer is yes; you can create gDisk labels in Gmail by creating a new label and adding .gDisk to the end.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this point on, any email with an attachment that you label with Attachments.gDisk will show up in the gDisk interface in the Attachments folder, allowing you to easily download, upload, or sort files alphabetically, chronologically, or by filesize. You can even quickly search through the all of the attachments. For this catch-all Attachments label, however, we don't want to manually label every email with an attachment. Instead, we'll set up a Gmail filter that will automatically label all of our emails with attachments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To do so, click the Create a Filter link in Gmail and tick the Has attachment checkbox. Go to the next step and tell your filter to apply the Attachments.gDisk label to all matching emails. If you want to label every attachment you've received up until this point, be sure to tick the &quot;Also apply filter to xxx conversations below&quot; checkbox. When you're finished, click Create filter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What the filter does**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once this filter is set up, an email with an attached document, spreadsheet, or pretty much any other file gets immediately archived under a “Files” label. There are other ways to keep files in the cloud with Gmail, using Firefox extensions like Gmail Drive or Gspace, but this filter is automatic, and can be applied retroactively to your current archive of emails containing attachments. The Firefox extensions are like FTP clients, requiring you to make a decision on what to upload and what not to. I prefer the set-and-forget approach, except for files exceeding Gmail’s 20mb attachment limit; for the latter I use Gspace.&#xD;&#xA;Setting up the filter&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now open up gDisk and click on your attachments label. You should have easy access to every attachment you've ever received in Gmail, including the ability to sort, search, and download one or several attachments with a simple double-click. gDisk may take a little time to list all of your attachments depending on how many you've got, but either way it's a quicker way to access all of those attachments than what you can get with Gmail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, next time you're running low on Gmail storage space, this is an excellent way to find and eliminate those files eating up the most disk space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, you can extend this method to other, more specific attachment labels in order to create &quot;smart folders&quot; using gDisk and Gmail. For example, for the Show Us Your Firefox screenshots, I created a label that automatically tags every attachment-containing email with the subject &quot;Show Us Your Firefox&quot; with a special gDisk label. That way when I start browsing the hundreds of submissions, I can download all of the pictures rather than going through them one-by-one in Gmail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The possibilities can extend as much as you need them to in order to fit your needs. For example, a File-in-Progress.gDisk label might be a good way to keep tabs on files you want to access a lot. As soon as you no longer need quick access, just remove the label from that email. Simple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.getgspace.com/download.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/advanced-file-and-attachment-management-with-gmail-274567.php&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/07/apply-filter.png" />

If you decide to remove the stickers, do it quickly. The stickers are not going to stay fresh for more than a year or two, depending upon its quality. If your laptop is a relic, skip to the very last step to use a chemical removal method.&#xD;&#xA;   2. **Decide which stickers to remove**. Some stickers are useful, such as OEM licensing stickers that will be voided when remove. Others may contain serial numbers, service tags, support information, or systems specifications. Commonly removed stickers include ones promoting the Windows operating system (ie: &quot;Designed for Windows XP&quot; and &quot;Windows Vista Capable&quot;),as well as Intel and AMD CPU stickers.&#xD;&#xA;   3. **Remember to do this slowly**. If you rush it and try to pull the whole thing off at once, you run the risk of tearing the sticker or separating the glue backing.&#xD;&#xA;   4. **Start from the edges**. Use your fingernails, a pair of tweezers, or a non-abrasive abrasive putty knife. Be careful not to scratch or damage any plastic or aluminum surfaces in the process.&#xD;&#xA;   5. **Pull the sticker up slowly** from the edge you just started. Try to pull it up using an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. Never bend the sticker back further than a 90 degree angle, as this will promote the separation of the glue backing and printed material.&#xD;&#xA;   6. **Clean the surface**. Some sticker residue may be rubbed off easily, while some require additional help. As always, avoid scratching the surface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;      1. First, try rubbing off the remaining residue by hand. Many forms of glue, even when mixed with a little paper, will curl up onto itself when moved over a surface.&#xD;&#xA;      2. Second, if rubbing doesn't help, try using duct tape or other very sticky tape to remove the remaining residue. Break or cut off a piece of tape, apply it to the surface, then remove it. Repeat this until all of the residue has been removed, and attached to the tape instead.&#xD;&#xA;      3. Third, if all previous attempts fail, use chemicals. A popular and extremely useful method is to use a citric-acid based cleaner such as &quot;Goo-Gone&quot;. These type of cleaners will not harm metal or harder plastics, but may dry the surface of softer plastics, leaving a white, frosted appearance. Test this on a small, hidden area first. Another liquid to try is alcohol. Another is WD-40 which won't hurt the surface and can be cleaned off the computer's surface with a dish rag and a little soap.&#xD;&#xA;   7.

You also require some extra resources to virtualize stuff as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Excerpt from GRC:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; • How does Hardware Virtualization help with security?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; “Virtual Machine” technology is used to create fully contained environments that can be used to insulate the real hosting operating system from any actions taken by software running within the “virtual” environment. Although this security benefiting virtual machine technology has been used for many years, its widespread adoption has been slowed down by the significant performance overhead imposed by software emulation of the virtual environment. Intel's and AMD's native hardware support for virtual machines means that virtually all of this emulation overhead can be eliminated from both the host and virtual environments. This makes the use of virtual machines for security containment much more practical.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The second benefit of hardware support is that even malicious software running with maximum privileges in the system's kernel is unable to escape from virtual containment. Thus, hardware support for virtual machine technology introduces the possibility of creating a “hypervisor” to operate at a hardware-enforced level below the operating system “supervisor” which opens many exciting possibilities for further enhancing the system's security. It will likely be several years before these capabilities are offered natively within Windows, but we might expect to see third-party security software publishers taking advantage of these features in the near future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **1.** From reading this I guess it requires HV due to security purposes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **2.** Well if your missing HV then it isn't going to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.grc.com/securable.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.grc.com/freeware/AllFeatures.png" />

System Tools/Local Users and Groups/Users&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - Double-click the user to which you want to assign a logon script.&#xD;&#xA; - Click the Profile tab.&#xD;&#xA; - In the Logon script field, enter the path and name of the logon script you want to assign to that user, and then click OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Else here's a handy &quot;HowTo&quot; from Microsoft][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Creating logon scripts**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use logon scripts to assign tasks that will be performed when a user logs on to a particular computer. The scripts can carry out operating system commands, set system environment variables, and call other scripts or executable programs. The Windows Server 2003 family supports two scripting environments: the command processor runs files containing batch language commands, and Windows Script Host (WSH) runs files containing Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or Jscript commands. You can use a text editor to create logon scripts. Some tasks commonly performed by logon scripts include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Mapping network drives.&#xD;&#xA; - Installing and setting a user's default printer.&#xD;&#xA; - Collecting computer system information.&#xD;&#xA; - Updating virus signatures.&#xD;&#xA; - Updating software.&#xD;&#xA; - The following example logon script contains VBScript commands that use Active Directory&#xD;&#xA; - Service Interfaces (ADSI) to perform three common tasks based on a user's group membership:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It maps the H: drive to the home directory of the user by calling the WSH Network object's MapNetworkDrive method in combination with the WSH Network object's UserName property.&#xD;&#xA;It uses the ADSI IADsADSystemInfo object to obtain the current user's distinguished name, which in turn is used to connect to the corresponding user object in Active Directory. Once the connection is established, the list of groups the user is a member of is retrieved by using the user's memberOf attribute. The multivalued list of group names is joined into a single string by using VBScript's Join function to make it easier to search for target group names.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the current user is a member of one of the three groups defined at the top of the script, then the script maps the user's G: drive to the group shared drive, and sets the user's default printer to be the group printer.&#xD;&#xA;To create an example logon script&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Open Notepad.&#xD;&#xA; - Copy and paste, or type, the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;     Const ENGINEERING_GROUP     = &quot;cn=engineering&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    Const FINANCE_GROUP         = &quot;cn=finance&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    Const HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP = &quot;cn=human resources&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Set wshNetwork = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Network&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;    wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive &quot;h:&quot;,&#xD;&#xA;    &quot;\\FileServer\Users\&quot; &amp; wshNetwork.UserName&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject(&quot;ADSystemInfo&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;    Set CurrentUser = GetObject(&quot;LDAP://&quot; &amp;&#xD;&#xA;    ADSysInfo.UserName)&#xD;&#xA;    strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf))&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    If InStr(strGroups, ENGINEERING_GROUP) Then&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive &quot;g:&quot;,&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\FileServer\Engineering\&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\EngLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\Plotter&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\EngLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ElseIf InStr(strGroups, FINANCE_GROUP) Then&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive &quot;g:&quot;,&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\FileServer\Finance\&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\FinLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\FinLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ElseIf InStr(strGroups, HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP) Then&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive &quot;g:&quot;,&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\FileServer\Human Resources\&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\HrLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;        wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter&#xD;&#xA;        &quot;\\PrintServer\HrLaser&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    End If&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - On the File menu, click Save As.&#xD;&#xA; - In Save in, click the directory that corresponds to the domain controller's Netlogon shared folder (usually SystemRoot\SYSVOL\Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts where DomainName is the domain's fully qualified domain name).&#xD;&#xA; - In Save as type, click All Files.&#xD;&#xA; - In File name, type a file name, followed by .vbs, and then click Save.

The first time I heard of it was from an EE who said the method was fairly similar to the rinse baths used to clean circuit boards (remember, this was two decades ago).  The detergent you use does a fairly nice job of scouring the plastics, and minimizes any corrosion (which is how your flatware doesn't turn into rust).  Try to use straight granular detergent, and not a gel-pack or pillow-pack, as newer &quot;tabs&quot; can introduce other chemical agents that are less desirable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Candidates&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trick to doing this is to look at the &quot;style&quot; and &quot;type&quot; of keyboard in use.  As keyboards have become more sophisticated, there's more elements that can potentially have trouble.  Old keyboards tend to be fairly mechanical beasts, with lots of contact switches and metal or plastic springs.  These are the best candidates for a wash.  Some keyboards, however, are not suitable for this - they either have parts that will not survive a wash intact ([leatherette palm rests on a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000][1]) or have embedded electronics that can trap water ([LCD displays recessed behind a panel on gaming keyboards][2]).  In each case, look at the construction of the keyboard before proceeding, and keep in mind that it may not survive intact.  If you're still willing, read on.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Wash&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest way to do this is to place the keyboard in the top tray, key-side-down, so that the water/detergent mix will &quot;spray up&quot; into the keys themselves.  This also helps a bit with drainage when you finally remove the keyboard.  Also important is that you disable any &quot;heated-dry cycle&quot; that the dishwasher may have, as some have heating elements in the top and may cause damage or melted plastic.  If this is not possible, consider placing it in the middle of the bottom rack, in such a way that the keyboard is away from any heating elements, and preferably suspended slightly higher than the base of the bottom rack (maybe perched on something else).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Dry&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the wash cycle has completed, remove the keyboard and place it on a towel in such a way that it is on-edge and tilted key-side-down, so that any residual water can work its way down through gravity.  Let the keyboard remain in this position for a minimum of two days.  After two days, pick the keyboard up and examine it - if you see *any* residual water all, let it sit for another two days, and so on.  The point of this is to ensure that the keyboard will air-dry completely.  If you have any doubts or concerns at all, leave the keyboard like this for a *week* to ensure that it has throughly air-dried.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Test&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, the final test is to see if the keyboard works.  Unfortunately, this means plugging it in.  If at all possible, see if you can use an older (disposable?) machine to accomplish this.  Although most machines will not be harmed by this, better safe than sorry.  After you plug it in, be sure to test every key switch on the keyboard by stroking each row of keys with your finger.  A text editor is a quick, easy way to check this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once purchased (a long time ago) an NCD X terminal.  The terminal had a fairly standard-looking keyboard, but it had one problem - someone appeared to have split 7up on several of the keys, making them stick and slide slowly (the E wouldn't move at all if I recall).  After using the wash'n'dry method, I was able to get all but the E key to move freely.  The E key &quot;crunched&quot; (the sugar had re-crystallized) but still was sticky.  A second wash later it moved freely, and it never malfunctioned afterwards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&amp;cl=US,EN" />

On an x86 CPU running in 64-bit mode it is &quot;expensive&quot; (read: slow) to change the mode of the processor to allow 16-bit programs to execute properly. It's so bad that Microsoft didn't put in any infrastructure into any 64-bit versions of Windows to support 16-bit code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;XP mode&quot; runs a virtual 32-bit Windows XP instance, and the virtualiation environmnet handles the 16-bit / 64-bit transition. In effect, &quot;XP mode&quot; is the 16-bit support infrastructure that Microsoft never put into prior versions of 64-bit Windows, with the added bonus of having a full Windows XP 32-bit environment to suppot problem software that doesn't want to run in Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless you've got software that uses either 32-bit kernel-mode drivers (or the aforementioned 16-bit code on 64-bit Windows) you'll very likely never have need for &quot;XP mode&quot;.

Check in _/etc_ for a&#xD;&#xA;   file that looks like this `sudoers~` &#xD;&#xA;   (you can `cd` to that directory and&#xD;&#xA;   run `ls -A` _without_ root&#xD;&#xA;   privileges, even if you can't read or&#xD;&#xA;   edit the files as a regular&#xD;&#xA;   user).Some editors will create such a&#xD;&#xA;   backup if at all possible, so you may&#xD;&#xA;   have one without having created it&#xD;&#xA;   explicitly.&#xD;&#xA; - Second, if you have no idea _how_ to&#xD;&#xA;   edit the file, you might consider&#xD;&#xA;   posting it (or the area around line&#xD;&#xA;   7) here or elsewhere. Although the&#xD;&#xA;   file itself has to do with security,&#xD;&#xA;   there aren't passwords in it, so&#xD;&#xA;   there's no immediate harm in posting&#xD;&#xA;   it.&#xD;&#xA; - Last, note that an error message like&#xD;&#xA;   the one you saw doesn't necessarily&#xD;&#xA;   mean that the problem itself is&#xD;&#xA;   literally on line 7.

For example, a GeForce XXXGT from manufacturer ABC can be matched with a GeForce XXXGT from manufacturer XYZ.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can I mix and match graphics cards with different sizes of memory?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When purchasing a second graphics card, you should try to match the memory size so that you are ensured full value and performance from your purchase. However, while it is not recommended, NVIDIA does offer the flexibility to run graphics cards with different sized memory by using CoolBits. Using CoolBits (value set to 18), you can force both of the cards to use the lower of the two memory sizes and operate them together in SLI mode. When dissimilar memory sizes are enabled to work together using CoolBits, the effective memory size for each card becomes the smaller of the memory sizes.

This stops random crap from just wandering in, so the overwhelming majority of machines are going to be just fine. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Only when the user is in place is it an issue. My solution: fix the user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My list to keep your Mom's PC bulletproof:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Educate her on computer security, and computer usage:&#xD;&#xA;   - Don't teach her how to accomplish certain tasks ('click here, etc'). Teach her WHAT and WHY. Think about when you open a new program for the first time. Most computer literate people will have a good idea about how to use it straight up. This is because you understand WHAT you want to achieve, and WHY you want to achieve it. The HOW follows very quickly after, because you are familiar with the HOW from other programs. Ever swapped email clients? You'll know what I mean.&#xD;&#xA;  - The golden rule: &lt;b&gt;If you don't know, don't do it.&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;  - Secondary to the golden rule: &lt;b&gt;Read what the error message is telling you, and think about what you have done to cause it - don't just throw up your arms and swear&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;  - Educate her that just because something is free, she doesn't have sign up for it, or try and install it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Install Google Chrome - Fast, lean browsing machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. Install your choice of free anti-virus. Something with a low amount of harassment is good. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; 4. Ensure automagic updates are turned on, and that your mother knows how to deal with them. Accept them, install them, reboot the computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My parents ran a Windows XP machine for 4 years with no software firewall - running just Firefox and AVG. They were checking their email, doing online banking, playing some Guild Wars online, and they had no viruses. I've had plenty of challenges from random people who tried to find viruses on my computers, but they always just end up wasting their time." />

The NVIDIA drivers optimize the available resources across all GPUs to balance PhysX computation and graphics rendering. Therefore users can expect much higher frame rates and a better overall experience with SLI.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A new configuration that’s now possible with PhysX is **2 non-matched (heterogeneous) GPUs**. In this configuration, one GPU renders graphics (typically the more powerful GPU) while the second GPU is completely dedicated to PhysX. By offloading PhysX to a dedicated GPU, users will experience smoother gaming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally we can put the above two configurations all into 1 PC! This would be SLI plus a dedicated PhysX GPU. Similarly to the 2 heterogeneous GPU case, graphics rendering takes place in the GPUs now connected in SLI while the non-matched GPU is dedicated to PhysX computation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[PhysX performance review:][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In multi-GPU mode, one GPU handles all graphics duties, while the second card is solely responsible for tackling all physics commands. Under this mode end users can mix and match different cards. For instance, someone who purchased a GeForce 8800 GT last year can run this card for physics, and then pick up a brand new GeForce GTX 280 to run as the primary graphics card for gaming. An SLI motherboard isn’t required for this mode either, both SLI and non-SLI motherboards are supported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Regarding drivers: Which driver should I use?][5]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;NVIDIA® ForceWare® Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) supports SLI technology. Simply download the latest GeForce or Quadro graphics driver from the driver download page located here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;NVIDIA continually adds new SLI applications profiles to upcoming drivers. For the most up-to-date SLI application support, always use the latest drivers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can I mix and match graphics cards from different manufacturers?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using 180 or later graphics drivers, NVIDIA graphics cards from different manufacturers can be used together in an SLI configuration. For example, a GeForce XXXGT from manufacturer ABC can be matched with a GeForce XXXGT from manufacturer XYZ.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can I mix and match graphics cards with different sizes of memory?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When purchasing a second graphics card, you should try to match the memory size so that you are ensured full value and performance from your purchase. However, while it is not recommended, NVIDIA does offer the flexibility to run graphics cards with different sized memory by using CoolBits. Using CoolBits (value set to 18), you can force both of the cards to use the lower of the two memory sizes and operate them together in SLI mode. When dissimilar memory sizes are enabled to work together using CoolBits, the effective memory size for each card becomes the smaller of the memory sizes. Instructions to enable this feature can be found here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[From Wikipedia on SLI][6] (not sure if this is correct...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In an SLI configuration, cards can be of mixed manufacturers, card model names, BIOS revisions or clock speeds. However, they must be of the **same GPU series** (e.g. 8600, 8800) and **GPU model name** (e.g. GT, GTS, GTX).[15] There are rare exceptions for &quot;mixed SLI&quot; configurations on some cards that only have a matching core codename (e.g. G70, G73, G80, etc), but this is otherwise not possible, and only happens when two matched cards differ only very slightly, an example being a differing amount of video memory, stream processors, or clockspeed. In this case, the slower/lesser card becomes dominant, and the other card matches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In cases where two cards are not identical, the fastest card – or the card with more memory - **will run at the speed of the slower card or disable its additional memory**. (Note that while the FAQ still claims different memory size support, the support has been removed since revision 100.xx of Nvidia's Forceware driver suite.[16])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_faq.html#q4&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.slizone.com/docs/IO/72884/graphics_card.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.slizone.com/docs/IO/72884/dif_graphics_card.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_physx_performance/page2.asp&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.slizone.com/page/slizone_faq.html#c10&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface" />

So please update your post!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a [review by Guru3D][1] I'd say that getting a third GTX 280 would be the best improvement:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Alright, the conclusion really doesn't need to be very long. Money wise high-end SLI and 3-way SLI doesn't make much sense, and it never will. It's bragging rights, and only for very few of you with a 30&quot; monitor actually a wish. See, the GeForce GTX 280 by itself already is a power house.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; So as much as I'd like to validate the existence of setups like this, common sense always kicks back in and says: dude .. performance versus money wise you better do something else with your money. And that's the cold harsh truth. This setup as presented today doesn't make much sense when you relate it to the core cash you need to drop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But hey .. then there are a couple of Guru's out there who will go for these bragging rights, who do want to play their games at the most extreme resolutions with the best AA modes, and these kind of consumers .. might find this a valid purchase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Now I'm a hardware freak, so certainly .. I won't hold a grudge against you man. In fact, you get my two thumbs up. Because the fact remains that when you factor the money out, the SLI setup as tested today is just an awful frickin lot of fun. I mean playing Call of Duty 4 at 2560x1600 with 4xAA and every possible image quality setting set to the highest possible setting returns an average framerate of nearing 80 with SLI; that will make you laugh a little giggly. Once firing 3-way SLI and to play the game at the same setting at near 110 FPS ..  you'll giggle again, yet in a weird girlish gay kind of way, it surely is fun folks. No doubt about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, allow me again to revert to something I mentioned in the introduction. GeForce GTX 280 SLI is much like Pamela Anderson's SLI boobs .. grand, maybe too big, certainly a nice pair to look at .. but surely very expensive. The same goes for Triple SLI which honestly doesn't make sense money wise, but yeah .. it does scale well and we were finally able to Play Crysis in Very high detail, which is just sick to see ... it's that much fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Upgrading it with a 9800 would make your system as good as it's weakest link: so either buy a third GTX 280 or don't buy anything. But you also have to consider if it's actually worth it? Since the performance gain you're aiming for will only be noticable at very high resolutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-280-sli-triple-review-test/14" />

Every time you type a url into the bar Firefox searches your history to come up with a list of suggestions you can pick. In other words, clearing your history log means your awesome bar is gonna be pretty helpless for awhile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the key thing to realize when trimming your history log is that Firefox chronicles EVERY nook and cranny of the web you so much as plant a toe on. This includes all your google searches, all your video searches, every image you open in your google image searches and every last email you ever read. You should be realizing by now that unless you are a very peculiar and hardcore user, there are at least SOME of all that junk that you will never need nor want to appear on your awesome bar. In other words, we can ditch some of those history without any noticeable penalty. So the next question is naturally : how do we isolate the parts of our history log that we don’t need?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a sticky problem of course, and how well you can do this depends on your own surfing habits. Fortunately Firefox 3 also comes packaged with a secret weapon - the awesome Firefox 3 library manager. This is a nifty tool shipped with Firefox 3 that lets you manage your browsing history and your bookmarks in a single, powerful interface. For our purposes, you can start it up either by hitting ‘Shift-Ctrl-H‘ or going to ‘History &gt; Show All History‘.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Smart trimming with the Firefox library manager**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what is the use of this library manager? Well, among other things this tool has a reasonably powerful search function built in (see the textbox near the top?). With this search function and a little thought on our part, we can easily isolate certain types of history items and delete them off in one fell swoop. For example, if you want to delete all your google searches (I don’t personally find them useful anyway), you can type ‘google search?’ into the search form. What the manager does then is list every history item in your log which has both the keywords ‘google’ and ’search?’ in its url or title. This happens to correspond to the url structure of all google searches (and next to nothing else), so you should see all your google searches decked out like this :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;Isolating all logged google searches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To delete all your google searches then, simply select all (ctrl-A) and hit delete. If you have alot of history stored, this may lag and take awhile. After that you’re done! You have just deleted hundreds of useless history entries (if you use google as often as me)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a similar manner you can delete off many different classes of history items, depending on which you consider to be useless. The trick is to identify some sort of recurring pattern (in title or in url) that can distinguish the type of history items you want to delete. Sometimes this is easy : for example if you want to delete all logs of you reading your gmail emails (which I personally think is utterly useless), you can simply search for “mail.google.com/mail” and et voila!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;Isolating your email reading logs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes of course it may be a little more tricky. Here are some suggested keywords you can try:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - live mail to isolate all hotmail emails and pages.&#xD;&#xA; - .jpg to isolate all jpg images you opened. Similarly you can do .gif for gif images and .png for pngs.&#xD;&#xA; - youtube watch? to isolate all youtube videos you’ve watched.&#xD;&#xA; - Turns out that whenever you click a search result in Google, Google opens an intermediate page before bringing you to your intended destination, and Firefox of course faithfully chronicles this obviously useless intermediate page. Fortunately these pages are easy to isolate. Search google url?.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What kind of junk accumulates most in your history log depends highly on your surfing habits, of course. You can get a clue of what sort of pages are occupying large portions of your history log by simply sorting the log according to the Location column. To do this, simply click on the ‘Location‘ column header.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;Sort by Location for clues of what is occupying large portions of your history log&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Limiting the amount of history Firefox keeps**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned in my earlier post that Firefox has a setting at Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; Privacy - “Keep my history for at least XX days”. It turns out that this is a ’soft’ limit and does not mean that your history will be deleted after XX days. We can set a ‘hard’ limit by messing abit with the Firefox config. To do this :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - type ‘about:config‘ in your address bar. You should receive a very appropriate warning message about what we’re going to do, to which you should go ahead and promise to be careful. On agreeing you should see a dizzying array of config parameters displayed. Fortunately we are only interested in a few of them.&#xD;&#xA; - Type ‘history‘ in the filter box, and double-click ‘browser.history_expire_days‘ when it shows up.&#xD;&#xA; - Key in the amount of days you would like your history to be kept.&#xD;&#xA;Voila! We’re done. Firefox will now delete any history item that has not been accessed in that amount of days. You can also set a hard limit on the total amount of history items to keep by changing the value of ‘browser.history_expire_sites‘.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A more advanced alternative**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It turns out that in Firefox 3, all history items (and bookmarks) are stored in SQLite databases. So people who are well versed in SQL and would like to perform more powerful queries to selectively delete your history items can try out this neat Firefox add-on called SQLite manager. IT functions as a GUI SQLite database manager much like PhpMyAdmin does for MySQL. To get to the appropriate database, simply launch the add-on (Tools &gt; SQLite Manager), and select “places.sqlite” from the top-right drop-down list. Query as pleased from there  The interface is pretty idiot proof.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://yuenhoe.co.cc/blog/2008/10/trimming-your-firefox-history/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn91/yuenhoe/history.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn91/yuenhoe/history2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn91/yuenhoe/history3.jpg" />

You can find the process ID with pgrep, and send a signal to a **named process with pkill**. The pattern used to look for the process with pgrep and pkill is normally only matched against the process name. Specify -f to check the entire command line of the process.

An oft-quoted definition of the term is &quot;the number of million times per second a processor can do absolutely nothing.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; BogoMips can be used to see whether it is in the proper range for the particular processor, its clock frequency, and the potentially present CPU cache.

Now I know. It was unexpected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone encountered and resolved this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A little background:&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;I am running Windows 7 RC inside VMWare Fusion 2 (just updated a few months back) on a MacBook (Bitterly not Pro) aluminum-body. Windows 7 occasionally will shut down. This isn't a quick turn-off, it's a shutdown where all the programs are exited, the system waits until they quit (and Civ4 doesn't prompt me to save), it even installed Windows Updates before restarting. And yes it is restarting right after the shutdown.  Because I run a game in full screen mode I do not notice any dialog with a countdown timer or anything like that that might be a warning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I have iStat on my dashboard widgets I can see about 8 temperature monitors. I have seen the CPU get up to 74C before, but during the shutdown, though it seemed hot to the touch (always is), it read 61C for the CPU, 60C for heatsink A, 50C for heatsink B and in the 30s-40s for the enclosure and harddrives. As I type this now, the temps are actually higher, so I don't think the temperature caused it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have at least six such events dating first from 5/17 which was a week after installing Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did find one information level warning from USER32 in the system log that says:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    The process C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe (DLAMBLIN-WIN7) has initiated the restart of&#xD;&#xA;    computer DLAMBLIN-WIN7 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason:&#xD;&#xA;     Operating System: Recovery (Planned)&#xD;&#xA;     Reason Code: 0x80020002&#xD;&#xA;     Shutdown Type: restart&#xD;&#xA;     Comment: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And another 15 minutes before that from Windows Update:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, &#xD;&#xA;      the computer will be restarted within 15 minutes: &#xD;&#xA;    - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Release Candidate&#xD;&#xA;      for x64-based Systems (KB972260)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which I think kind of explains it.

The XUL you want to edit is `chrome://browser/content/browser.xul`.   The files are kept in a JAR file in the Firefox install directory at `chrome/browser.jar`, which you will need to extract with a zip tool.  Look for the `&lt;toolbox&gt;` tag, and reorder the `&lt;toolbar&gt; (lots of stuff) &lt;/toolbar&gt;` tags within to change the order of the toolbars.   After you are done, keep a copy of the old `browser.jar` for safekeeping, and zip up the directory structure again, and rename the zip file to a .jar.  (you also may want to simply &quot;store&quot; in the zip instead of compress, for speed).   I'm not sure how useful this will be in moving just ONE of the custom toolbars though, because it looks like they are grouped together in a `toolbarset` in the browser XUL. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, this editing of the XUL is likely to get clobbered by an update, so you will have to do it over again. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3571" />

For the classes that I am taking what do you guys think would be&#xD;&#xA;better for school, a MBP or a Windows desktop and laptop?  Or even&#xD;&#xA;maybe a combo of a 13&quot;-15&quot; MBP with a Windows desktop?

It can be set to&#xD;&#xA;display URLs currently being accessed in the lower right of&#xD;&#xA;the screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The general idea is to block access to content that is&#xD;&#xA;really not needed, e.g. PNG/GIF/JPEG images, JavaScripts and&#xD;&#xA;cookies from advertisement sites and from tracking sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sites that are to be blocked are added to the &quot;hosts&quot; file&#xD;&#xA;(located on &quot;C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts&quot; in my&#xD;&#xA;system) and directed to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can download very long lists for this purpose, but the&#xD;&#xA;sheer number of sites to block may slow down browsing. I use&#xD;&#xA;another approach, only blocking those that the browser&#xD;&#xA;connects to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Procedure:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. While opening a web-page a URL is spotted that is not&#xD;&#xA;     necessary. E.g.:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    http://adtech.panthercustomer.com/images/485/Ad199114St1Sz256Sq2945366VOId3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. Press the PrintScreen key to make a screenshot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. Open Microsoft Paint and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. Open the &quot;hosts&quot; file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad)&#xD;&#xA;     and type off from the Paint window to a new separate&#xD;&#xA;     line:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;       127.0.0.1    adtech.panthercustomer.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  5. Save the &quot;hosts&quot; file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  6. That's it. Repeat for every (or only some) unnessary&#xD;&#xA;     URLs you observe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another, slightly more convenient, way to get the sites to&#xD;&#xA;block is to let the browser ask every time a cookie is&#xD;&#xA;attempted to be fetched. The ones that need to fetched can&#xD;&#xA;be set to always be accepted so the browser will not ask&#xD;&#xA;again, whereas the others will be blocked by the hosts file&#xD;&#xA;(and the browser will never see them again).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There may be easier ways to find the sites to block than&#xD;&#xA;described here, but the general idea is the same.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a sample of sites I have blocked:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ad.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       googleads.g.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ad.uk.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       pubads.g.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       m.se.2mdn.net&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       adserver.adtech.de&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       track.adform.net&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       cls.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       wms.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ws.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       rcm-images.amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://forums.comodo.com/firewall_help/new_private_network_detected-t32857.0.html;prev_next=prev&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Specifically interference occurs at a particular intensity which is usually measured in decibels, the frequency of the interference often dictates what it will and will not interfere with, the amount of background noise not associated with the interference and lastly there are variances in specific materials and configurations being vulnerable to interference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;AC lines can indeed mess with your cat5 cables and you should avoid trying to run them parallel to to your data cables.  Generally you won't have much problems with short cables as there is very little attenuation and the signal is bright and crisp.  Cat5 cables are optimized to eliminate/reduce crosstalk between the pairs so this makes it far easier to recover a signal at the other end.  Longer cables are more susceptable to interference as the signal is weaker at the end of a long cable run.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally speaking interference is introduced into some circuits through passive inductance which is just a fancy name for crosstalk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider is that a balanced cable is much less likely to experience disruptive interference as both sides of the cable are more or less grounded to bleed off any extra signals via unused wires.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;something to consider, you can interfere with any cable if you have the proper intensity, frequency and/or proximity to induce the interference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EMP is a good example of universal interference or check out a spark gap generator to see what a nasty multi-spectrum noise source looks like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I could go on and on but for the sake of brevity I will close with a link to more info...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Wikipedia article on Wave Propagation][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_(wave_propagation)" />

The noise can be from power cables, florescent lights, wireless telephones, and so on. Most protocols such as TCP/IP have various methods like CRC check sums to find errors and either correct them or have that packet of data resent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To minimize the problems and keep retransmissions to a minimum you can do several things. First use quality cables. CAT 6 is better then CAT5 which is better then simple twisted pair. Keep cables runs as shorts as possible. Longer cables will capture more interference (that is simplified but basically true), avoid power cables. A short section of cable next to a power line won't cause big problems, but don't run both through a long conduit right next to each other. " />

Specifically interference occurs at a particular intensity which is usually measured in decibels, the frequency of the interference often dictates what it will and will not interfere with, the amount of background noise not associated with the interference and lastly there are variances in specific materials and configurations being vulnerable to interference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;AC lines can indeed mess with your cat5 cables and you should avoid trying to run them parallel to to your data cables.  Generally you won't have much problems with short cables as there is very little attenuation and the signal is bright and crisp.  Cat5 cables are optimized to eliminate/reduce crosstalk between the pairs so this makes it far easier to recover a signal at the other end.  The longer an AC power line is close to a cat5 cable will increase the amount of interference that is induced in the wire.  This induced interference needs to overpower the number of decibels of signal in the cable. Longer cables are more susceptible to interference as the signal is weaker at the end of a long cable run.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally speaking interference is introduced into some circuits through passive inductance which is just a fancy name for crosstalk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider is that a balanced cable is much less likely to experience disruptive interference as both sides of the cable are more or less grounded to bleed off any extra signals via unused wires.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;something to consider, you can interfere with any cable if you have the proper intensity, frequency and/or proximity to induce the interference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EMP is a good example of universal interference or check out a spark gap generator to see what a nasty multi-spectrum noise source looks like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I could go on and on but for the sake of brevity I will close with a link to more info...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Wikipedia article on Wave Propagation][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_(wave_propagation)" />

For a technical website (you didn't mention what your blog was about) or a design/development portfolio, you should go with whatever is the most memorable (or whatever is available). Tech-savvy users usually just use bookmarks, and if not, they tend to be more friendly toward non-.com domains, and will be more likely to remember that your website is a `.net` or whatever it is. However, if the website is supposed to appeal to a wide audience, a `.com` domain is a must. I've found that if you tell an average person the name of a website, but don't tell them the exact domain, they will just type the name of the website + `.com`. Also, don't forget that the iPhone only has a &quot;.com&quot; button, not a &quot;.net&quot; or &quot;.org&quot; button (although I'll admit this isn't really something to worry about).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to stay away from `.org` unless the website is for a non-profit organization of some sort (think Wikipedia). Whenever I go to a domain that ends in `.org`, I tend to think &quot;free/open source&quot;, so if your website doesn't fall under than category, better to avoid it. Also, avoid obscure ones like `.biz` (as @Troggy [mentioned](http://superuser.com/questions/16046/when-registering-a-domain-which-extentions-should-be-avoided/16050#16050)).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also go for domain hacks (like del.icio.us), but they are usually harder to remember, and all the good ones are taken already." />

But I will give a long answer anyhow, since we server wranglers have as much or more reason to investigate such issues. I hope the question can be kept here on SF.)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some time ago I wrote [Windows Perfmon: The Top Ten Counters][1] at my old blog. The article is a quick introduction to using Perfmon to determine where hardware bottlenecks are: processor, memory, disk, or network (and secondarily, to determine current operational loads on these resources). I can't emphasize this step enough: **first make sure you know which hardware resource is overused**. *Then* go hunting the resource hog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you've determined which resource is overused, you have two choices: add more of that resource (get a faster CPU, add memory, get a faster disk or NIC) ... or track down the top users of that resource, and either kill them or take steps to make them less piggish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest way to track down top resource hogs is with [Process Explorer][2]. Be sure to run it from an account with Admin privs. Here's a quick-and-dirty quick to what to look for:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For **memory bottlenecks** (the most common bottleneck), use the *Working Set*, *Virtual Size*, and *Private Bytes History* columns from the *Process Memory* tab. Sort the columns one by one, descending (largest values at top of column). Of these, *Working Set* is usually the most valuable.&#xD;&#xA; - For **CPU bottlenecks**, obviously you want the *CPU Usage* column. *CPU History* is also handy. These are on the *Process Performance* tab. Again sort descending. This value tends to jump around a lot more than memory usage values do, so don't make snap judgments. Watch it awhile to see if your prime suspect stays at the top for more than a few seconds.&#xD;&#xA; - For **disk bottlenecks** (which are often *actually* memory bottlenecks as the system is forced to [page stuff from disk][3] far too often) you don't really have great choices, because Windows doesn't have per-process disk I/O perfmon counters. However you can look at total I/O per process (which includes disk, network, and device I/O) you can use the *I/O Read Bytes* and *I/O Write Bytes* counters as a rough estimation. These are on the *Process Performance* tab.&#xD;&#xA; - **Network bottlenecks** are unlikely to be your issue, but since per-process network counters are lumped into I/O, you can get a rough idea in the same way I described above for  disk bottlenecks. It's up to you to determine whether the I/Os you see in these columns are more likely to be disk or network I/Os. If you were on Vista/2008/7 you'd get a little help here from the [Windows Performance Tools][4] which I [discuss][5] on my newer blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://adminfoo.net/2007/04/windows-perfmon-top-ten-counters.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://serverfault.com/questions/23621/any-benefit-or-detriment-from-removing-a-pagefile-on-an-8gb-ram-machine/23684#23684&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/performance/default.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://quux.tumblr.com/post/48664763/windows-performance-tools" />

However, if the website is supposed to appeal to a wide audience, a `.com` domain is a must.

If you have enough going on to end up with 8Gb worth of pages to swapped out to disk then your system is likely to have ground to a completely unusable speed by that point anyway. Even 1xRAM can be overkill in many cases IMO. Remember that you can add swap space in the form of a file at any time, so you can add more swap later if you find you need to. for example, to add an extra GB of swap:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/newfile bs=1024 count=1048576&#xD;&#xA;    mkswap /path/to/newfile&#xD;&#xA;    swapon /path/to/newfile&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and to remove it (once no longer needed):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    swapoff /path/to/newfile&#xD;&#xA;    rm /path/to/newfile&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(remember though that swapping to files is a little slower than direct to to a partition or logical volume as you have filesystem overhead and greater potential for fragmentation to consider)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hibernation, i.e. on laptops/netbooks, may complicate things a little as IIRC Linux stores memory state in the swap space, so you definitely need more then your RAM size as swap if you plan to use hibernation (and I don't know if that needs to be partition/volume based swap or if file based can be used - it will certainly need to be something mentioned in `fstab` that can be seen very early in the boot process whic the inital ram disk is in use and your real root not yet mounted).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These points may all be moot though.

Isopropyl alcohol has several advantages over soapy water.  Soapy water is conductive and if you do not remove a sufficient amount of the residue, you will still have issues with the keyboard operation.  Generally speaking it is easiest to just take the keyboard apart and separate the key assembly from the backing circuit board itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have the circuit board removed from the key assembly, you now have access to all of the contacts the keys use.  Use a paper towel or a Q-Tip to scrub the contacts for best results. The picture below shows the most common keyboard contact type.  There is a conductive rubberized material that bridges the contacts and registers the key being pressed.    At the end of this process the isopropyl alcohol will evaporate within a minute or two. Once this happens, you are clear to re-assemble and then 'keep on truckin'....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![PCB Example][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00kvFtAnDyQTbNM/LED-Backlight-Keyboard-PCB-Assembly.jpg" />

Basically, CPU/RAM specifications are usually a function of the chipset more than RAM. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If I have a number of varying&#xD;&#xA;&gt; processor specifications (x86, x64,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; PII, P4 etc) can I accurately&#xD;&#xA;&gt; calculate the memory (speed, size,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; etc) that will work with this RAM?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Accurately *calculate*&quot;? Um, yes I suppose. The motherboard Chipset and *usually* the socket of the CPU will determine what specifications of RAM can be supported. For example, some processors are supported by chipset 'X' and 'X' does NOT support DDR3. Guess what? No DDR3 support for that CPU. That's about as simple as it gets. Some CPUs are built around RAM (remember RAMBUS?) while others focus more on what chipset can support which features they want. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Are there any 'gotchas' or can I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; deduce this all from specifications&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and what properties of the RAM / CPU&#xD;&#xA;&gt; should I be checking?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes there are some BIG gotchas. People (system builders) typically get hung up on a few details: what CPU can I have - how much RAM can I hold - bus support (PCI-e x16/x8/x4?) and peripherals. The problem in looking at things in this light is that the most important factor is being left out: the **chipset**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't care how fast a CPU is or what killer RAM you get, the chipset is the heart of the motherboard and in turn, the computer itself. Chipset determines RAM, CPU, buses, everything. So if you want to *deduce* from specifications of RAM &amp; CPU, *start* looking at the motherboard chipset. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another &quot;gotcha&quot; is RAM. RAM can be expensive to rare to find to stable/unstable. RAM is a strange beast. The faster the RAM, *usually* the slower the timings. If you really want to learn about how RAM works, there are lots of articles all over the web. But learning RAM timing and how the chipset works in conjunction is what really matters. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't get swept up in &quot;nehalem&quot; fever or whatever CPU is the flavor of the year. Yeah, it's a solid CPU, but if the RAM is too expensive or flaky and the chipset is 'meh' at best, it's not always worth it. DDR3 is not better simply because of speed. You have to weigh your options carefully with what you're trying to achieve. Are you building a simple computer? Workstation for development or animation/rendering or computation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And as a last and obvious note, always read the manual *before* buying anything. You'll save yourself time and money.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I'm not sure what your budget is or what else is on your network. Bear in mind all a good firewall/router will do is keep traffic limited to what you all and can link your Bitnami on MCE to the outside world. There's always vulnerabilities within the app itself so keep up to date on any patches that the application might announce as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as the router goes, if you have something like a Linksys WRT54G, there's [DDWRT][1] or [Tomato][2] to override the manufacturer's firmware and give you more security options.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have some cash, I'd highly recommend [pfSense][3] to build a small/cheap firewall/router with even more extensive options. I've found that after a while, in spite of good/cheap routers like the WRT54G, overtime with all the power surges and 'stuff' they eventually go bad. I've built my own firewall just because I was tired of the slow and eventually degradation of performance from consumer level router/firewalls. That's not to say they won't work for you as needed, but in my experience they eventually break down. Maybe I just need to get a UPS for it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another major attack vector that people tend to forget about is uPnP (universal PnP). I'm not sure if this needs to be available with MCE and Bitnami, *but* bear in mind uPnP is all over the place on numerous computers, devices (like printers!), etc. A good FW/Router can block this traffic and *nearly* eliminate that threat. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another (*simple*) tactic: use a password. Most people at home don't have passwords on their computer systems whether its' Vista/XP/MCE/whatever. Laziness prevails at home. Hell, I don't like passwords like everyone else, but even just putting SOME protection at the system level would be at the least *something*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sure there are other steps/techniques/measures but the suggestions I've listed are at the very least the cheapest and most effective for time+money.

CPU instructions are like loads of laundry.  You need to use both the washer and the dryer for each load.  Let's say that each takes 30 minutes to run.  That is the clock cycle.  Old CPUs would run the washer, then run the dryer, taking 60 minutes (2 cycles) to finish each load of laundry, every time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pipelining:**  A pipeline is when you use both at the same time -- you wash a load, then while it is drying, you wash the next load.  The first load takes 2 cycles to finish, but the second load is finished after 1 more cycle.  So, most loads only need 1 cycle, except the first load.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Superscalar:**  Take all the laundry to the laundromat.  Get 2 washers and load them both.  When they are done, find 2 dryers and use them both.  Now you can wash and dry 2 loads in 60 minutes.  That is 2 loads in 2 cycles.  Each load still takes 2 cycles, but you can do more of them now.  Average time is now 1 load per cycle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Superscalar pipeline:**  Wash the first 2 loads, then while these are drying, load up the washers with the next 2 loads.  Now, the first 2 loads still take 2 cycles, and then the next 2 are finished after 1 more cycle.  So, most of the time, you finish 2 loads in each cycle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Multiple cores:** Give half of your laundry to your mother, who also has 2 washers and 2 dryers.  With both of you working together, you can get twice as much done.  This is similar to superscalar, but slightly different.  Instead of you having to move all laundry to and from each machine yourself, she can do that at the same time as you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is great, we can do *eight times more* laundry than before in the same amount of time, without having to create faster machines.  (Double the clock speed: Washing machines that only need 15 minutes to run.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now let's talk about how things go wrong:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pipeline bubble:**  You have a stain that did not come out in the wash, so you decide to wash it again.  Now the dryer is just sitting there, waiting for something to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cache Miss:** The truck that delivers the dirty laundry is stuck in traffic.  Now you have 2 washers and 2 dryers, but you are getting no work done because you have to wait.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Depending on how often things go wrong, we will not be able to always get 4 loads done every cycle, so the actual amount of work done may vary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Real CPUs have even more issues to consider.  For example, Intel washing machines use bleach, and AMD uses color safe detergent.&#xD;&#xA;" />

You can do almost anything with a mac that you can do with a pc. It is a different operating system.  It might useful to narrow your goals and type of work you want to accomplish, then ask for a suggestion based on that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Fast or slow is one vague question.  Macs are just pc's running mac os x instead of windows by default with some propietary conditions.&#xD;&#xA;- I am more efficient in os x because it is what I love to use. Other people would agree/disagree. Windows works much better for others.&#xD;&#xA;- Yes, usb sticks will work just fine.  Hardware you buy for your mac though will need to have mac compatibility (drivers).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You mention IDE's in your comment.  You would have to install windows on your mac to use Visual Studio for example. If you have a mac, you can explore and use the xcode IDE, which is for os x only.  Eclipse, Netbeans, and other IDE's for the most part have os x compaitible versions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speed wise? I don't notice any difference programming java in netbeans under os x in comparison to windows for example.  IDE performance is largely based on how powerful your computer hardware is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your question kind of brushes with the mac vs pc debate, which is an eternal battle on the internet. It is not a matter of which one is better.  It is a personal preference with what software you want to use and are most productive with.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personaly I use a mix of all the major OS's as I find certain tasks or programming easier in one vs the other.

Tell your child to NEVER EVER reveal their name, address, phone number or any other personal information to ANYONE online. Once you give out this information, it is impossible to retract.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   2. Communicate regularly (not just once) with your child about WHAT they do online and WHO they talk to online. If you have actually met the friends they are talking to in person, you'll know it is OK for them to chat with them online.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   3. Take computers out of children' rooms and put them into public areas such as the family room. Many parents think they are helping with homework by giving the children a computer, but it also opens certain dangers that you may be unaware of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   4. Choose your child's screen name, email address or instant message name wisely - don't' reveal ages, sex, hobbies, and CERTAINLY NOT suggestive or sexy names. Predators are more likely to pursue a child with the screen name &quot;sexyteen5&quot; than &quot;happygirl5&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   5. Use technology to help you protect your child. Monitoring software gives you the ability to review your child's Internet usage. Even if you don't look at each and every email or instant message they send, you'll have a good idea if they are making smart choices online. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.software4parents.com/" />

This is on Ubuntu with Thunderbird 2.0.0.22, and MacOS 10.4 with Thunderbird 2.0.0.16.  There's more than one account.  There's also more than one Thunderbird instance but they are sharing Junk folders over IMAP (only way I know to train both of them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everything I've ever read suggests that after training on 3000-4000 messages most spam should be caught (barring waves of new varieties which come along periodically).  That's been my experience in the past.  At first, mostly untrained, I was getting between 20 and 200 messages a day.  This didn't slow down much after a couple of days.  I have a fairly large body of existing spam, some 20000 messages, and I added it all at once.  That improved the true positive rate considerably, though I was still getting a handful of spam messages a day. Frustratingly many of these seemed to be the *same* message, and Thunderbird seems to have a great deal of trouble recognizing some of these.  (I looked at a few to see if they are doing the normal tricks that give filters a hard time: images and/or random paragraphs of &quot;known good text&quot;.  In one case that was true but in others the messages appear to be short and mostly empty.  No images or embedded text.)  And now, in the past week or so, the rate has shot back up again to a dozen or more an hour.  It's as if the filtering has just stopped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Things I've tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - I've tried looking at the file `training.dat`.  I've peered inside it with things like `od` and `strings` and it is mostly embedded strings.  But the format is basically opaque.  It does grow, but noticeably it does *not* grow every time I mark a messages as junk.&#xD;&#xA;  - I've turned on Junk Filter Logging (`Preferences | Privacy | Enable junk filter logging`).  This does nothing.  There is no log.  I seem to remember trying this years ago and it didn't do anything then either.&#xD;&#xA;  - I've considered tossing `training.dat` and starting over, but (a) it is changing (b) I don't really want to start over and (c) there's no way to mix training files, so you really can't go back to an old file without losing whatever you've gained.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - How can I tell if training is *actually* happening?&#xD;&#xA;  - Should I expect `training.dat` to change every time I mark something as junk?&#xD;&#xA;  - Why don't the logs appear?&#xD;&#xA;  - Do I have to mark each message *individually*, or can I mark a whole bunch of messages at once?&#xD;&#xA;  - Are there any tools for finding out when the filter runs and what it is doing when it does?&#xD;&#xA;  - Are there any tools for decoding the training file?&#xD;&#xA;  - Overall, why does it seem to have stopped working, and what can I do about it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's lots of links to Thunderbird junk mail filtering on Google, but they almost all boil down to basic tutorials.  I am looking for more than just basic instructions: I want to know how to debug or diagnose how the filter is working -- or not working." />

Hardware you buy for your mac though will need to have mac compatibility (drivers).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You mention IDE's in your comment.  You would have to install windows on your mac to use Visual Studio for example. If you have a mac, you can explore and use the xcode IDE, which is for os x only.  Eclipse, Netbeans, and other IDE's for the most part have multiple os versions. Iphone development requires os x and xcode if you want to get into that. You need to have the right tool for the job. .NET programming is targeted towards windows, objective-c/cocoa is aimed at mac os x/iphone. C, C++, Python, PHP, JAVA, XHTML, PERL can all be written in any os, but its functionality might be different depending on the task/goal of your program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speed wise? I don't notice any difference programming java in netbeans under os x in comparison to windows for example.  IDE performance is largely based on how powerful your computer hardware is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your question kind of brushes with the mac vs pc debate, which is an eternal battle on the internet. It is not a matter of which one is better.  It is a personal preference with what software you want to use and are most productive with.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personaly I use a mix of all the major OS's as I find certain tasks or programming easier in one vs the other.

Other people would agree/disagree. Windows works much better for others.&#xD;&#xA;- Yes, usb sticks will work just fine.  Hardware you buy for your mac though will need to have mac compatibility (drivers).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You mention IDE's in your comment.  You would have to install windows on your mac to use Visual Studio for example. If you have a mac, you can explore and use the xcode IDE, which is for os x only.  Eclipse, Netbeans, and other IDE's for the most part have multiple os versions. Iphone development requires os x and xcode if you want to get into that. You need to have the right tool for the job. .NET programming is targeted towards windows, objective-c/cocoa is aimed at mac os x/iphone. C, C++, Python, PHP, JAVA, XHTML, PERL can all be written in any os, but its functionality might be different depending on the task/goal of your program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speed wise? I don't notice any difference programming java in netbeans under os x in comparison to windows for example.  IDE performance is largely based on how powerful your computer hardware is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your question kind of brushes with the mac vs pc debate, which is an eternal battle on the internet. It is not a matter of which one is better.  It is a personal preference with what software you want to use and are most productive with.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personaly I use a mix of all the major OS's as I find certain tasks or programming easier in one vs the other.

For the rest there is little you can do, expect for copy-pasting it to a document perhaps. [And C-Net agrees.][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Page breaks**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the &quot;print margins&quot; are not under your control as Web author, you can't guarantee how much of a Web document will be printed on each page and hence where the page breaks will be. It will vary according to the user's browser, browser settings and printer. And the user's base font size and stationery size are also outside your control. You will want to use CSS to influence (not control) the position of page breaks. [CSS2.1 Chapter 13 Paged Media][3] is essential reading. Note that, in this Chapter, CSS2.1 drops some features in CSS2 that browsers have never implemented.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Support for the page-break propertie**s (such as page-break-inside) is poor, even in the latest browsers, the major exception being Opera (Opera 5 onwards) whose support is very good:-&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/browser_support/printing.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://www.ncdesign.org/html/s060oth.htm#pagebreak&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Worse, browsers are liable to break pages in clearly unacceptable places (see also next paragraph). For example, I have found cases where browsers will break an image across pages. Testing on my various sites suggests that Opera's page-break handling, whilst not perfect, is distinctly more robust than that of Firefox or IE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Eric's article (see below) mentions a bug in Gecko (Mozilla) -based browsers regarding the printing of floated elements. [This bug apparently has yet to be fixed][4] **[at July 2009]** result in floated elements being chopped at the end of the printed page and sometimes in only one page of a document being printed [Note 2]. I've found a similar float-chopping problem with older versions of Opera (e.g. O7.21). A different bug has been reported in IE where, if the top of a floated element happens to coincide with a page break, the floated element doesn't print at all [acknowledgement: Rennan Rieke].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Suggested strategy for page breaks**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best policy (certainly, until browsers improve) is to give them a break (ha!) by allowing them as much discretion as you can in their choice of break points. They have particular problems with side-by-side elements, such as positioned &lt;div&gt;s; floats; and tables with two or more columns. Suitable strategies therefore include making positioned &lt;div&gt;s static; unfloating floats; and breaking up tables used for layout into a series of shorter tables [Note 1]. Even though the page-break properties are poorly supported, don't over-constrain the browsers: use the &quot;avoid&quot; value with as light a touch as you can.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Browsers really don't like floats when it comes to printing (see previous section). The workround is to unfloat floated elements (float: none and perhaps width: auto as well). If you do risk having a floated element when printing, it may print across a page break (the top of a floated element is anchored to the current line). Depending on the nature of the floated material, this may be acceptable behaviour. If not, only Opera will enable you to suppress such a split.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you must have some content printed on only one page, e.g. a form, your best chance is to make it significantly less than one page long, so that you have a good margin (sic) of error. Regarding stationery size, you might choose to assume the international (ISO) standard A4 size (for an international audience) or US Letter size (for an exclusively US audience) although there's no guarantee of what size users are using. But ask yourself how you would respond if you had produced a one-page form using a word processor and a user who was vision-impaired asked for a large-print version.

Viruses, spyware, and just the unfortunate but inevitable cruft that builds up on a machine running basically any operating system over time tend to cause all sorts of problems, including all of the ones you have described. Wiping out your entire OS is a bit of a drastic step, so I would recommend grabbing a LiveCD for some big linux distro like Kubuntu or SuSE and seeing if it works without any sort of errors. Linux will generally give you pretty descriptive error messages (try typing dmesg on a console) for any hardware problems, so if it turns out your hardware is failing, you might get some additional clues too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, like NoCarrier asked, if you have been doing any overclocking, you should definitely consider toning it down." />

When the PC is in standby, nothing (and especially not the webcam) could be handling this processing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried for YEARS to come up with a good low power setup. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few ruminations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.  Logitech has a prepackaged solution that does this, but requires a PC to be on.  A bit pricey.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.  Most webcams come with motion detection software that will write a frame to a directory on your disk when it detects motion.  You can write a simple script to monitor that directory and send you an email with an attachment when it detects a new file.  Thats been the most reliable method for me so far (at least on the cheap).  I believe the labtec cameras come with such software.  One thing to keep in mind, if you're watching the outdoors, it will be too bright for your average webcam (even with automatic gain control).  Buy a couple of cheap camera polarizer filters from ebay, and tape/strap/ziptie the in front of the camera.  This will keep your images from being overexposed (read: completely white from too much sunlight)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as power requirements, I ran an application called RightMark that will underclock and undervolt your processor when it detects low usage.  This helped quite a bit to lower my power usage.  If you're using a netbook however, i don't imagine it would use much power at all even if you left it on 24/7.  Probably a few dollars worth per month.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.  you can go all out and buy wifi or POE (power over ethernet) cameras and have them all feed Ispy (an open source webcam security package) and have that orchestrate your entire security detail.

Double click on the first `command` with a blank value, probably `command_1`. Type the full path to the script and provide the two parameters. Eg: `/home/jtb/code/bringToFront firefox Firefox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. From the panel on the left, select the next folder up `global_keybindings`. Find the `run` entry matching the command you just defined, probably `run_command_1`. Double click it and type the shortcut key you want, with modifiers in angle brackets, e.g. `&lt;Ctrl&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;F`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now &lt;kbd&gt;Control&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;F&lt;/kbd&gt; will bring your firefox window to the front, or launch it if it's not already running." />

Since then, I've noticed the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After the computer has had an uptime of several hours, I start to get audio crackling and distortion during some network access. The crackling corresponds to spikes in DPC latency.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. There are no such problems right after a boot-up or restart; the [DPC Latency Checker][1] shows latency in the green when the computer has been up for a short amount of time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. The spikes get progressively worse with increasing uptime. Currently, I'm seeing peak values of 10000 - 16000 microseconds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. By uptime, I mean the length of time that the computer is actually on and awake, from boot-up. Time spent in standby mode does not seem to contribute to the increasing latency. Rebooting resets the crawling latency.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. The spikes don't seem to happen for *all* network access. They are worst when initiating connections (e.g. loading web pages, connecting to an SFTP server, browsing a network drive). For example, if I am downloading a large file, the latency only occurs at the beginning of the download.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  5. The spikes occur whether I am using a wireless or wired connection (Dell Wireless 1490, Broadcom 440x 10/100). No gigabit networking or anything that is known to cause audio problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  6. There don't seem to be any IRQ conflicts involved. The &quot;High Definition Audio Controller&quot; (*SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC*) is on IRQ 21; both of the network cards are on IRQ 17.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  7. The audio distortion occurs for every software audio source I've tested: iTunes, WMP, VLC player, Flash videos.`enter code here`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any idea what might be going on and how I might fix this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 8. I suspect that the problem is somewhere deep in the networking stack. I try disabling all network adapters and *pinging **127.0.0.1***. Without any real network access, I *still* get DPC spikes around 10000 μs. This is kind of ridiculous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml" />

This was in 1996 I believe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd let her use one of the computers for the requisite $5, and all was well and good and the relationship was pleasant until she was ready to leave. The trick was that she had forgotten to close the document beforehand, and as she was making for the door, I took the liberty of closing it for her. Or at least I was about to when she noticed me touching the mouse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's when she went ballistic. She started screaming at me, launching immediately into a deranged rant about how I was stealing her work, and that she only had to turn around for a second before I would stab her in the back. I of course, had no idea what she was going on about and I was utterly stunned for about a full minute. I eventually tried to calmly reassure her that I was just closing the program so that someone else could use the computer, but she kept at it. I tried repeatedly to get her to listen to reason and &quot;look, watch, I'm just going to close it without saving anything&quot;. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;She would have none of that and said &quot;Oh no you don't!&quot; and grabbed my arm away from the mouse. It was that point where my patience had frayed to breaking, and I shouted &quot;Look lady, why would *I* want to steal your work? I have no idea what you just wrote!&quot; but her ranting continued as my boss approached, and I hit the &quot;power&quot; button on the computer. &quot;There!&quot; I shouted, &quot;Your work is *gone*, okay?&quot; If my boss hadn't intervened, I would have stuffed my fist in her mouth to shut up her next volley of ranting. He had heard the whole thing, and as a forensic psychologist had some experience dealing with this kind of thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He firmly asserted himself and then shamed her for upsetting me so badly, before telling her to leave or be carried out. He watched her very closely as she left, then turned to me with his diagnosis: &quot;She's definitely *some* kind of paranoid. I caught her stealing one  of the little figurines a couple of weeks ago. Paranoids are usually most afraid that other people will do to them the things that they do wrong.

I would guess that a faster graphics card (I plan to get a 4870 or similar when I get a larger monitor that does 1920x1200 as I think the 3850 will show its limits more obviously in some cases at that point) will make far more difference then a jump in main-board memory tech, and now more games are taking advantage of multiple cores going quad might make more difference too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if you want the fastest of the fast and money is no object, then a high-end DDR3 based system with all the other bells and whistles is the way to go, and you'll be able to play Crysis at full-high with AA and AF maxed at full-hd resolution at playable frame-rates.

You would think that there would be one nice, handy-dandy tool to tell you such things, but I don't know it. I'll go one by one, and give my best suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  1. What is the package used for?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. When was it installed?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. Was this package installed manually&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     or was it required by another&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     package?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Are there any packages currently&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     installed that depends on this&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     package, i.e. will something break&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     if it is removed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. On the command line, `aptitude show&#xD;&#xA;    pacakge` or `apt-cache show package`&#xD;&#xA;    will provide a description of the&#xD;&#xA;    package, as well as a lot of other&#xD;&#xA;    information. Synaptic allows you to&#xD;&#xA;    search for an item in various ways,&#xD;&#xA;    and it provides a description of the&#xD;&#xA;    package. (The descriptions you get&#xD;&#xA;    from all these methods are&#xD;&#xA;    identical. They all get their&#xD;&#xA;    information from the same place in a&#xD;&#xA;    .deb, I believe.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Such a simple thing, but other than&#xD;&#xA;    digging through logs, I can't think&#xD;&#xA;    of how to do this. Synaptic doesn't&#xD;&#xA;    seem to keep this information as&#xD;&#xA;    meta-data. (This would make a great&#xD;&#xA;    wish-list bug.) Here's one way to do&#xD;&#xA;    it:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        zgrep package /var/log/dpkg*&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    That's a bit cludgy, and it will&#xD;&#xA;    produce a lot of output, but it&#xD;&#xA;    should also get you the date you&#xD;&#xA;    want. (You need `zgrep` since older&#xD;&#xA;    logs will be gunzipped archives.) By the way, you need to be root even to search `dpkg`'s logs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. If you run `aptitude show package`&#xD;&#xA;    on an installed package, check the&#xD;&#xA;    field &quot;Automatically installed.&quot; If it says yes, it was brought&#xD;&#xA;    in as a dependency of some other&#xD;&#xA;    package. (For the record, there are&#xD;&#xA;    things you can do to manually change&#xD;&#xA;    this setting. That is, you can&#xD;&#xA;    mark a package to look manually&#xD;&#xA;    installed, even though it was&#xD;&#xA;    actually installed as a dependency.&#xD;&#xA;    But for the most part, the results&#xD;&#xA;    here should be valid.) You can also&#xD;&#xA;    filter Synaptic searches to look for&#xD;&#xA;    things installed as dependencies.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. A brute-force way to check this:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        aptitude -s remove package&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    The `-s` flag simulates commands.&#xD;&#xA;    You can run such a command as a&#xD;&#xA;    regular user, and there's no danger&#xD;&#xA;    of actually harming your system. It&#xD;&#xA;    allows you to see easily what the&#xD;&#xA;    proposed action would do. One thing&#xD;&#xA;    to keep in mind is that this sort of&#xD;&#xA;    check will show you _gross_&#xD;&#xA;    breakage, but it won't show broader&#xD;&#xA;    mistakes. What I mean is you might&#xD;&#xA;    be able to remove package Foo&#xD;&#xA;    without truly breaking your system,&#xD;&#xA;    but it may severely limit the&#xD;&#xA;    usefulness of package Bar. In&#xD;&#xA;    general, packages are chained&#xD;&#xA;    together through recommendations to&#xD;&#xA;    prevent just this, but it's worth&#xD;&#xA;    keeping in mind. You can also search for dependencies and reverse dependencies using `apt-cache`, but I find the simulated run is the most vivid way of seeing what will happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other general search tip for Aptitude. On the command line, you can use these searches to quickly see what you have installed by choice versus what was installed automatically as a dependency of something else:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    aptitude search '~i !~M' # Find things not installed as something else's dependency&#xD;&#xA;    aptitude search '~i ~M'  # Find things installed as something else's dependency" />

The value of each property must be the URL of a PNG-formatted image with dimensions matching the property name. A data URL containing base64-encoded PNG data can also be used. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I guess right now it just uses something that's on the website where you link to. If they don't have a high quality version, you get the ugly one you mention. Replacing it would require you to change the link inside the shortcut. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this is already starting to get a tedious job, it's probably better to follow these steps:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Step 1:  Save the icon on your computer**&#xD;&#xA; - You have already done this successfully I believe :)&#xD;&#xA; - In your browser's addressbar, type in the domain of the website, followed by the text &quot;favicon.ico&quot; For example, if you want the icon for the Yahoo website, the&#xD;&#xA;address to type is &quot;http://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico&quot;. Similarly, the&#xD;&#xA;Google icon can be found at &quot;://www.google.com/favicon.ico&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Once you type in the address specified above, a page will&#xD;&#xA;load containing only the icon for the website.&#xD;&#xA; -  Right click the picture and choose &quot;save picture as..&quot;&#xD;&#xA; -  Save all the icons in a central folder, say &quot;My Documents\My Icons&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Now you have a permanent copy of the icon. The next step is to&#xD;&#xA;associate it with the shortcut.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Step 2: Associate the icon with the shortcut**&#xD;&#xA; -  Right click on the website shortcut on your desktop&#xD;&#xA; -  From the popup menu that appears, choose &quot;Properties&quot;&#xD;&#xA; -  In the dialog box that appears, switch to the &quot;Web Document&quot; tab.&#xD;&#xA; - Click the &quot;Change Icon...&quot; button present there.&#xD;&#xA; -  This will popup the Change Icon dialog which will allow you&#xD;&#xA;to browse for and select the saved icon file.&#xD;&#xA; -  Then click Ok a couple of times and exit all the dialogs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This probably requires Chrome to be your standard browser to open Web Documents with though!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[With special thanks to Theta-ga][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/apis/gears/upcoming/api_desktop.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://answers.google.com/answers/ratings/users/5106752986753046198.html" />

Both of them are not approved by Nintendo, because you need to modify your Wii software to play discs which are backups of the originals.   There are four things that you will need on your Wii: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   1. The [Wii Homebrew Channel][1], in order to run homebrew software on your Wii.  Because most of the DVD drives in PCs cannot read Wii discs (they are a special format), you will need to use your Wii to read the disc and produce an ISO.&#xD;&#xA;   1. Custom IOS software for your Wii.  The IOS on the Wii are like kernels which will provide different functions to the games and other software which play on the Wii.  Thankfully some of the homebrew people have come up with custom IOSes which allow you to do some other things that you wouldn't normally be able to do.   These are called cIOS.  Get the [most recent cIOS][2] by Waninkoko and install it by using the loader in the Homebrew Channel&#xD;&#xA;   1. The [DVD Dumper software][3], which will use the cIOS to dump a disc which is in your drive over wifi to a computer running software programmed to receive it. &#xD;&#xA;   1. A Backup loader. This is what will play your games on your Wii, using again the cIOS installed in step 2.  They aren't really easy to use unfortunately yet, so you will probably have to use one which is kid-friendly (lots of people who are doing this have your specific problem).  You can find different backup loaders in [this forum][4]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a postscript, getting some of these things on your Wii can be really hard to do, because reasonably Nintendo has been trying to keep people from running their own software on the Wii for a while now.   Make sure you read the guides for installing cIOS ESPECIALLY CAREFUL as you can BRICK YOUR WII, and maybe try to install something like [BootMii][5] which will make it easier to not screw up your Wii permanently first. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel&#xD;&#xA;[2]: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=170174&#xD;&#xA;[3]: http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=98272&#xD;&#xA;[4]: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showforum=190&#xD;&#xA;[5]: http://bootmii.org/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;NOTE: This stuff should only be used to back up your own discs so that they do not get ruined by someone!

If they don't have a high quality version, you get the ugly one you mention. Replacing it would require you to change the link inside the shortcut. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this is already starting to get a tedious job, it's probably better to follow these steps:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Step 1:  Save the icon on your computer**&#xD;&#xA; - You have already done this successfully I believe :)&#xD;&#xA; - In your browser's addressbar, type in the domain of the website, followed by the text &quot;favicon.ico&quot; For example, if you want the icon for the Yahoo website, the&#xD;&#xA;address to type is &quot;http://www.yahoo.com/favicon.ico&quot;. Similarly, the&#xD;&#xA;Google icon can be found at &quot;://www.google.com/favicon.ico&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Once you type in the address specified above, a page will&#xD;&#xA;load containing only the icon for the website.&#xD;&#xA; -  Right click the picture and choose &quot;save picture as..&quot;&#xD;&#xA; -  Save all the icons in a central folder, say &quot;My Documents\My Icons&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now you have a permanent copy of the icon. The next step is to associate it with the shortcut.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Step 2: Associate the icon with the shortcut**&#xD;&#xA; -  Right click on the website shortcut on your desktop&#xD;&#xA; -  From the popup menu that appears, choose &quot;Properties&quot;&#xD;&#xA; -  In the dialog box that appears, switch to the &quot;Web Document&quot; tab.&#xD;&#xA; - Click the &quot;Change Icon...&quot; button present there.&#xD;&#xA; -  This will popup the Change Icon dialog which will allow you&#xD;&#xA;to browse for and select the saved icon file.&#xD;&#xA; -  Then click Ok a couple of times and exit all the dialogs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This probably requires Chrome to be your standard browser to open Web Documents with though!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[With special thanks to Theta-ga][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/apis/gears/upcoming/api_desktop.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://answers.google.com/answers/ratings/users/5106752986753046198.html" />

So your signal isn't generated the instant you press the key, but rather when the controller scans the key and sees that it is pressed. After the keyboard sends the PC the signal there are obviously additional delays before the character appears on your screen, but those are fixed regardless of the keyboard type.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if you pressed a key the moment after it was scanned, it could take almost 30ms longer on a slow USB keyboard to be detected and sent to the computer.

You would think that there would be one nice, handy-dandy tool to tell you such things, but I don't know it. I'll go one by one, and give my best suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  1. What is the package used for?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. When was it installed?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. Was this package installed manually&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     or was it required by another&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     package?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Are there any packages currently&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     installed that depends on this&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     package, i.e. will something break&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     if it is removed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. On the command line, `aptitude show&#xD;&#xA;    package` or `apt-cache show package`&#xD;&#xA;    will provide a description of the&#xD;&#xA;    package, as well as a lot of other&#xD;&#xA;    information. Synaptic allows you to&#xD;&#xA;    search for an item in various ways,&#xD;&#xA;    and it provides a description of the&#xD;&#xA;    package. (The descriptions you get&#xD;&#xA;    from all these methods are&#xD;&#xA;    identical. They all get their&#xD;&#xA;    information from the same place in a&#xD;&#xA;    .deb, I believe.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Such a simple thing, but other than&#xD;&#xA;    digging through logs, I can't think&#xD;&#xA;    of how to do this. Synaptic doesn't&#xD;&#xA;    seem to keep this information as&#xD;&#xA;    meta-data. (This would make a great&#xD;&#xA;    wish-list bug.) Here's one way to do&#xD;&#xA;    it:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        zgrep package /var/log/dpkg*&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    That's a bit cludgy, and it will&#xD;&#xA;    produce a lot of output, but it&#xD;&#xA;    should also get you the date you&#xD;&#xA;    want. (You need `zgrep` since older&#xD;&#xA;    logs will be gunzipped archives.) By the way, you need to be root even to search `dpkg`'s logs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. If you run `aptitude show package`&#xD;&#xA;    on an installed package, check the&#xD;&#xA;    field &quot;Automatically installed.&quot; If it says yes, it was brought&#xD;&#xA;    in as a dependency of some other&#xD;&#xA;    package. (For the record, there are&#xD;&#xA;    things you can do to manually change&#xD;&#xA;    this setting. That is, you can&#xD;&#xA;    mark a package to look manually&#xD;&#xA;    installed, even though it was&#xD;&#xA;    actually installed as a dependency.&#xD;&#xA;    But for the most part, the results&#xD;&#xA;    here should be valid.) You can also&#xD;&#xA;    filter Synaptic searches to look for&#xD;&#xA;    things installed as dependencies.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. A brute-force way to check this:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        aptitude -s remove package&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    The `-s` flag simulates commands.&#xD;&#xA;    You can run such a command as a&#xD;&#xA;    regular user, and there's no danger&#xD;&#xA;    of actually harming your system. It&#xD;&#xA;    allows you to see easily what the&#xD;&#xA;    proposed action would do. One thing&#xD;&#xA;    to keep in mind is that this sort of&#xD;&#xA;    check will show you _gross_&#xD;&#xA;    breakage, but it won't show broader&#xD;&#xA;    mistakes. What I mean is you might&#xD;&#xA;    be able to remove package Foo&#xD;&#xA;    without truly breaking your system,&#xD;&#xA;    but it may severely limit the&#xD;&#xA;    usefulness of package Bar. In&#xD;&#xA;    general, packages are chained&#xD;&#xA;    together through recommendations to&#xD;&#xA;    prevent just this, but it's worth&#xD;&#xA;    keeping in mind. You can also search for dependencies and reverse dependencies using `apt-cache`, but I find the simulated run is the most vivid way of seeing what will happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other general search tip for Aptitude. On the command line, you can use these searches to quickly see what you have installed by choice versus what was installed automatically as a dependency of something else:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    aptitude search '~i !~M' # Find things not installed as something else's dependency&#xD;&#xA;    aptitude search '~i ~M'  # Find things installed as something else's dependency" />

There was a new Service named &quot;Bluetooth PAN&quot; installed as network device en7 in the System Preferences' Network Preference Pane.  &quot;Okay, that made sense,&quot; I thought, &quot;as it *is* a new network device now usable by the Macbook.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this resulted in a warning message upon the next restart/startup of the Macbook noting that this new network device needed to be configured.  So, I simply opened the Network Preference Pane, selected this new device and clicked the Apply button and the warning message ceased to display again upon subsequent restarts/startups.  &quot;Okay, so whatever,&quot; I thought again, &quot;that makes sense.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then today, a few days after the above, I started-up the Macbook with the iPhone pre-connected to the USB (not for any particular reason) and upon completing the startup and login, I noticed that the iPhone didn't automatically start to synch with iTunes as I would expected.  Rather I looked over at the iPhone and noticed the pulsing blue bar on the top of the iPhone display indicating that Internet Tethering was enabled.  &quot;Huh?,&quot; I thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I simply returned to the Network Preference Pane and, sure enough, the Bluetooth PAN  Service was listed as &quot;Connected&quot; with a green indicator &quot;light&quot; to its left in the Service list pane.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I next went to the Settings-&gt;General-&gt;Network-&gt;Internet Tethering setup page on the iPhone and turned off Internet Tethering.  As expected, the iPhone stopped acting as a tethered modem and the Bluetooth PAN Network Service was again listed as Not Connected with a red indicator &quot;light&quot; and the the en7 network device no longer had an IP assigned to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Hmmm...&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, my apologies for the diatribe if you're still reading this.

Many applications, however, encode the prefix into themselves and then use it at run time to find supporting files.  They also need the ability to load their shared library files (although the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable can be set to help with that).  The result of this, however, is that the portable applications will likely not be very portable -- they will depend upon being at the specified prefix.  This will probably work in many places (most modern distros mount media at `/media/DISKNAME`), but it does prevent the application from being truly portable and location-independent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The net answer, therefore, is that making portable Linux applications, while not impossible, is rife with subtleties.  I suspect that this is a major contributing factor to why it isn't done near as much as it is on Windows.  Additionally, public computing facilities (where the bulk of the portable application benefit arises) typically do not run Linux.  A notable exception is university labs, but you can usually install some extra software in your home directory there." />

If all you do is type into a word processor all day, a 2nd monitor isn't going to help much.  If you need to monitor output from 8 different programs simultaneously, then 4 or 8 monitors might make you much more productive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what kind of things are a waste of time?  I've identified two big ones for me:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Context switches: going from one program to another.&#xD;&#xA; - Locating and clicking on something&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Figure out what programs you use, what the penalty is for a context switch, and how often you do it or how much more effective you could be with more pixels, and that will help you decide the &quot;best&quot; setup for you.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Get into the habit of setting up applications and layouts in the same place - this allows you to develop &quot;muscle memory&quot; for common.  Even starting up applications (on windows) in the same order every time can help shave a few seconds off each context switch - no hunting for which task bar item you need to click if they're always in the same order.  On a GUI that support multiple desktops, same thing - group applications the same way each time and you're get a little bit more efficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a couple of things to watch out for, however.  Having more programs visible is not always better.  Having email and IM onscreen and visible all the time can be distracting, and take away concentration from whatever task you're working on, so if you're looking at a 3rd or 4th screen just to have those available consider possibility that you may end up less productive.  Also, having a lot of pixels means a lot of mousing - if you can't use keyboard shortcuts, you'll rely on the mouse a lot more, and that can lead to RSI problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

The most basic question is analog or digital.  I'm more interested in digital, so here are a few of your options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design.  These are very interesting chips, you learn an Hardware Description Language (HDL), like Verilog or VHDL.  From there, you use the language to describe the hardware you want.  FPGAs are very versitile, if you want hardware that does something specific and very fast (compared to x86) maybe this is for you.  I recommend the Digilent Nexsys 2 board, about $100&#xD;&#xA; - Wireless Communications.  Maybe you're interested in HAM radio, or even Software Defined Radio.  There are many aspect of wireless digital communications, the learning curve is quite high.  You might want to look at [GNU Radio][1]&#xD;&#xA; - Like you said, there are also Microcontrollers.  Don't worry about having to learn C by the way, the C knowledge you need to do interesting things with a micro isn't that much.  I took a microcontroller class without any knowledge of data structures or pointers.  There's a large range difficulty with micros as well.  The TI MSP430 is probably the most complicated to use, followed by the ATMEL chips, then PIC, then Arduino.  Also, if you are interested in micros and FPGAs get the FPGA.  You can configure the FPGA hardware to be a microntroller.  Look into microblaze and picoblaze for this.&#xD;&#xA; - You can also look into Digital Signal Processors, but this requires quite a bit of theoretical background.  If you don't know about Fourier Transforms, digital filters, etc wait on these.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the analog side I have much less knowledge.  Two of the most popular fields in analog are op-amps and Analog to Digital Converters.  I don't know too much about either.  But if you are interested in analog electronics, try some of the kits from [make][2].   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://gnuradio.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKSL1" />

For digital signals, like you internet, this means your bit error rate will go up slightly.  (Since the signal to noise ratio will be lower).  So, you get more packets with flipped bits.

Not so long ago, following in the footsteps of Pentium 4, Celeron processor family acquired a 0.13micron Northwood core. The first Celeron CPUs based on it appeared Celeron 2.0GHz. As we have expected, they appeared very easy to overclock. Their core frequency can be raised up to that of the fastest Pentium 4 models, which is roughly 3GHz. And only the cut down 128KB L2 cache, prevents Celeron from beating all overclocking records.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://lwn.net/Articles/252125/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2328442,00.asp&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/3gems-oc.html" />

There was a new Service named &quot;Bluetooth PAN&quot; installed as network device en7 in the System Preferences' Network Preference Pane. &quot;Okay, that made sense,&quot; I thought, &quot;as it is a new network device now usable by the Macbook.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this resulted in a warning message upon the next restart/startup of the Macbook noting that this new network device needed to be configured. So, I simply opened the Network Preference Pane, selected this new device and clicked the Apply button and the warning message ceased to display again upon subsequent restarts/startups. &quot;Okay, so whatever,&quot; I thought again, &quot;that makes sense.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, a few days later, I started-up the Macbook with the iPhone pre-connected to the USB (not for any particular reason) and upon completing the startup and login, I noticed that the iPhone didn't automatically start to synch with iTunes as I would expected. Rather I looked over at the iPhone and noticed the pulsing blue bar on the top of the iPhone display indicating that Internet Tethering was enabled. &quot;Huh?,&quot; I thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I simply returned to the Network Preference Pane and, sure enough, the Bluetooth PAN Service was listed as &quot;Connected&quot; with a green indicator &quot;light&quot; to its left in the Service list pane.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I next went to the Settings-&gt;General-&gt;Network-&gt;Internet Tethering setup page on the iPhone and turned off Internet Tethering. As expected, the iPhone stopped acting as a tethered modem and the Bluetooth PAN Network Service was again listed as Not Connected with a red indicator &quot;light&quot; and the the en7 network device no longer had an IP assigned to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Hmmm...,&quot; I thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would seem that one cannot or should not leave the Internet Tethering setting enabled as a *active capability* of the iPhone rather it should only be turned-on when its use is *actually required* and then turned-off again.  *(This seems, to me, an extra step: to tether you need to first enable it on the iPhone's settings and second connect to it via Bluetooth from the computer to be connected.)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, my apologies for the diatribe if you're still reading this. I just found all of it quite interesting, though not necessarily a problem, per se, and so thought I would share the experience as a side-effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/5814/once-youve-enabled-tethering-on-your-iphone-how-do-you-undo-this/16913#16913&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/questions/5814/once-youve-enabled-tethering-on-your-iphone-how-do-you-undo-this" />

Here we go:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Javascript&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;This is probably the only useful application of `window.resizeTo`.&#xD;&#xA;Type&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    javascript:window.resizeTo(1280,512)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;into the address bar.&#xD;&#xA;You can turn this in a bookmarklet easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Drawbacks**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Doesn't work if you have Javascript&#xD;&#xA;   turned off.&#xD;&#xA; - Javascript blockers may&#xD;&#xA;   interfer (NoScript doesn't though)&#xD;&#xA; - Works with the default settings of Firefox but doesn't if&#xD;&#xA;you have removed the check mark from `Allow scripts to: Move or resize existing windows`&#xD;&#xA;under `Edit/Preferences/Content/Enable JavaScript/Advanced...`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Window Manager&#xD;&#xA;--------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    wmctrl -r Firefox -e 0,-1,-1,1280,512&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Drawbacks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You'll have to have wmctrl installed (there is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/wmctrl&quot;&gt;wmctrl&lt;/a&gt; package for fedora)&#xD;&#xA; - Requires EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager (default window managers of KDE and GNOME are supported though)&#xD;&#xA; - If you have more than one Firefox window open you will have to specify exactly which one you want to resize. See &lt;a href=&quot;http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/&quot;&gt;wmctrl documentation&lt;/a&gt; on how you can do this, it's not difficult.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Command Line&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;The most obvious solution is to start Firefox with the desired window geometry.&#xD;&#xA;It'll start unmaximized but if you maximize and then again unmaximize&#xD;&#xA;it'll shrink to the size that it had before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually you can determine the window geometry for X Window apps like so: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    firefox -geometry 1280x512+0+0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That didn't work for me so I looked up the Firefox command line options (shortened):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Usage: firefox [ options ... ] [URL]&#xD;&#xA;           where options include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;	-height &lt;value&gt;		Set height of startup window to &lt;value&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;	-width &lt;value&gt;		Set width of startup window to &lt;value&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;	-no-remote		Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    firefox -no-remote -height1280 -width 512 &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but that didn't work either. I think this is a bug in Firefox and maybe it works in other versions or on other platforms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Drawbacks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Neither of the above worked for me with&#xD;&#xA;   Firefox 3.0.12 on ubuntu 9.04. &#xD;&#xA; - Only works as long as you don't change the window size manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Gmail uses labels, not folders, and there is simply no one-to-one mapping to IMAP. For example: putting a message in the Trash actually kind of assigns the label &quot;Deleted&quot;. When labeled as such, any other label for that same message no longer applies.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be sure to understand the implications of this. Like if you think you copied a message to some IMAP folder, then actually Gmail will only have assigned an additional label to the very same message. Now, if you've (**wrongly**) set up Mail to move deleted messages to the Trash, then after &quot;deletion&quot; of either of the two occurrences of that single message, the other is removed as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if your rules move messages to specific folders *on the Gmail server*, then beware! When moving to a local folder on your Mac, then deleting from the Gmail server may not harm you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get the full picture when using IMAP for Gmail, one should unfortunately at least read **all** of the following from Google's help:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do actions sync in IMAP?][1]&#xD;&#xA;- [Gmail folders in your mail client][2]&#xD;&#xA;- [Recommended IMAP client settings][3] (first read the general notes before clicking through to the email client of your choice; be sure **not** to save deleted messages to the Trash)&#xD;&#xA;- [Recommended settings for Mail.app][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, see [Google Labs Advanced IMAP Controls][5], which allows you [to set][6] *When a message is deleted from the last visible IMAP folder: Move the message to the Gmail Trash.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And while we're at the subject of Gmail:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Gmail SMTP server automatically moves a copy to your Sent Items. So, when using that server, be sure to set up Mail.app to *Use only this server*. If you don't, then when Mail falls back to another server, you won't have a copy in your Sent Items. &#xD;&#xA;- If you want to use another Sender address, then see [Adding a custom 'From' address][7]; if you don't then Gmail will change it into your gmail.com address. For fine tuning see this week's new feature [Send mail from another address without &quot;on behalf of&quot;][8].&#xD;&#xA;- Be sure to create a backup. If messages are somehow deleted form either your computer or Gmail's servers, then after the first IMAP synchronisation they're removed everywhere. When using Time Machine: first activate Mail and then enter Time Machine. This will give you the galaxy and star field with, instead of the default Finder, the Mail interface. Here you can even restore message from accounts you've deleted altogether.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Too bad there's no automatic set up, despite of the fact that Mail knows you're using Gmail, indicated by *For support, visit [Gmail Help Center][9]* in Mail's preferences: ![alt text][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=82367&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-advanced-imap-controls.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;fs=1&amp;view=pu&amp;st=labs&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=22370&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-address-without.html&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275&amp;topic=1555&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://img.skitch.com/20090516-tdt73skxj6rqwch9phm6uyf1ah.png" />

Well that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is the theory anyway :D&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; We will use it in a similar way, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; only on a single system...&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1: Download all the latest drivers for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your system, especially remember the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LAN drivers since XP might not support&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it by default and then it will be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difficult to download the rest of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drivers when you have no net&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connection ;)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2: Extract sysprep from your Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; install CD, it is under&#xD;&#xA;&gt; \support\tools\deploy.cab) to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; c:\sysprep (it can also be downloaded&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for XP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7a83123d-507b-4095-9d9d-0a195f7b5f69&amp;DisplayLang=en)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or 2000&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/tools/sysprep/default.asp).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3: Start Sysprep.exe choose&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mini-Setup, PnP, and then Reseal. Your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; machine will shutdown when the process&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is completed.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4: Install your new mainboard and any&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other hardware, when you boot it up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows should launch a mini setup&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wizard, similar to the normal 2000/XP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; install... The setup should prompt you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for drivers it does not have, so lucky&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you that you downloaded them in step 1&#xD;&#xA;&gt; :D&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that isn't for you try this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should indeed deinstall anything that's specific to your old motherboard, so it reduces the chances of a conflict.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Best thing would be to also disconnect any unnecessary hardware, reducing the chance of failure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have an installation DVD you could just do a start-up repair and let Vista adjust itself to the new hardware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps be sure to make a backup, so you can always restore when something goes wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: Id always suggest to do a clean install when you switch hardware (especially your motherboard). Perhaps even a better solution would be to install the Windows 7 RC with the new motherboard and give that a try. But enough with the preaching and good luck! ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-48387-How-To-Swap-motherboard-without-clean-or-upgrade-installing-Windows.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.svrops.com/svrops/articles/sysprepvista.htm" />

These pre-defined personal folders include Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Saved Games, Contacts, Desktop, Downloads, Favorites, Links and Searches, where the original or actual location of these folders are located by default at user profile folder under system drive, i.e. C:\User\user name\ where user name is the currently logged-on user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Users of Vista can change the target location for these shell folders if users want the folders to point to different folder location, rather than preset path. It’s useful when you have a separate hard disk drive to store data only to save disk space and avoid fragmentation on system drive where Windows is installed. Storing data files in non-default location path also saving headache to copy or backup the files when want to reinstall Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The target folder for the special shell user folders can be changed using the similar instruction for changing My Documents folder location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Create a new folder that you want to assign as replacement folder for Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and other user personal folders that you want to move, if needed.&#xD;&#xA; - Assign appropriate folder permissions if needed.&#xD;&#xA; - Right click on the shell folder that you want to move and change its default target location path in Start Menu or Windows Explorer, and then click on Properties in the contextual sub-menu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Go to the Location tab.&#xD;&#xA; - In the target location text box, type the full path to the new folder location that you want to assign to the shell folder selected, and then click OK button. You click on Find Target… button to browse and verify the destination target folder contents. The path to target folder should looks like, for example: D:\New Folder\. If the folder does not exist, the “Create Message” dialog box is displayed. Click Yes to create the folder, and then click OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Alternatively, click on Move, then select a new folder that you want to move My Documents to, and click Select Folder to select the folder as new target. Click OK again at folder properties dialog. If you need to create a new folder, click New Folder button in the toolbar, or right click on blank space then select New -&gt; Folder. Type a name for the folder, and then click OK twice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: The new target folder can be another place on same hard drive, another drive or another computer on your network.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You have the option whether to let Windows move the files currently in the original default personal user folder location to your new target folder. In the Move Documents dialog box, click Yes to move your documents to the new location, or click No to leave your documents in the original location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From now on,whenever you open a system defined user folders such as Documents, Pictures, Music or Videos that have changed its target location and path, it will automatically points to the new target location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/25/move-or-change-vista-documents-pictures-music-videos-games-and-other-personal-folders-location/comment-page-1/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.mydigitallife.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/folder-properties.JPG&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.mydigitallife.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/change-folder-location.JPG" />

They are application gateways and packet filters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rules you are talking about for allowing/disallowing specific applications is part of an application gateway. What you need to do is find the settings for the packet filter part of the firewall. If you post what firewall you are using someone might be able to guide you on how to setup the packet filter rules for that package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively you can look specifically at a packet filter only firewall. [GhostWall][1] is one I've used in the past and can say is fairly easy to set up and doesn't have any negative effects on performance. It works by configuring a list of &quot;rules&quot; that state exactly what types of packets (and their destination/source addresses) are allowed through, these rules are processed in order, so you just specify your allow list of known IPs that you want to use, and then make your final rule &quot;and block everything else&quot;. (Or you specify your block list, and make the last rule &quot;allow everything else&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You will always struggle to prevent all unwanted traffic, because you either have to allow stuff, and block what you don't want, and there will always be something you haven't blocked. Or you block everything by default and only allow specifically what you do what, but you'll spend ages configuring it for all the websites you want to use (unless you use a very small subset of the web like your work VPN or something and that's all you need).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would suggest looking at two plugins for your browser:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) An ad blocker of some kind. This will reduce the ad traffic on any site you browse.  &#xD;&#xA;2) [NoScripts][2]. This will block scripts on all sites you visit until you allow them. This often has the effect of the site falling back to their simpler HTML only version which will more often than not require less downloading.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, you could consider looking at a hosts file blacklist. The hosts file is a list of IP address and domains and how they should be resolved and can be used to blacklist certain sites that you don't want visited. If you Google around you should be able to find a community maintained hosts file that blacklists all the major ad servers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ghostsecurity.com/ghostwall/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://noscript.net/" />

I found this, but it still leaves the question as to whether the bucket continues to refill during the FAP-Free time, and whether using it during that time affects the refill rate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Does it Work?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Think of having a bucket full of tokens.

How many tokens are in the bucket to start depends on the service you have.&#xD;&#xA;Download Bucket Sizes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here are the download numbers for the different HughesNet services:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Home: Enough tokens for 169 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000/HN7000S Home: Enough tokens for 200 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000/DW7000/HN7000S Professional: Enough tokens for 375 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * HN7000S ProPlus: Enough tokens for 425 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000/DW7000/HN7000S Small Office: Enough tokens for 500 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Business Internet: Enough tokens for 800 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000/HN7000S Business Internet: Enough tokens for 1250 MB of data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Refill Rates**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each service also has a &quot;refill&quot; rate. This is the rate at which tokens are put back into the bucket. The bucket can never be more than full, so, even if you don't use the service for days, the bucket will never hold more than it's starting amount. Like a bucket full of water - the rest spills over the edge. If you use data at the exact rate as the bucket is refilled, the bucket would always be exactly full.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FAP buckets are rarely full unless the system has been off for 12 hours or more, so at any given moment you are likely starting with less than the full amount.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the last published refill rates for the HughesNet services:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Home: 47 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000/HN7000S Home: 50 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Professional: 50 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000/HN7000S Professional: 56 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * HN7000S ProPlus: 56 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Small Office: 56 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000/HN7000S Small Office: 150 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW6000 Business Internet: 100 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * DW7000 Business Internet: 200 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;    * HN7000S Business Internet: 150 Kbps&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: HughesNet does not currently publish the recovery/refill rates, so it is unknown if the above values are still accurate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Souce:** [http://www.mobileinternetsatellite.com/HughesNetUserGuide/UserGuide.html#50565121_pgfId-40745][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mobileinternetsatellite.com/HughesNetUserGuide/UserGuide.html#50565121_pgfId-40745" />

The process of collecting file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; fragments and putting them &quot;back&#xD;&#xA;&gt; together&quot; is known as optimization.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; However, if a failure occurs during&#xD;&#xA;&gt; optimization, such as power loss,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; files could become damaged and need to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; be restored from a backup copy.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Do I need to optimize?**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You probably won't need to optimize at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all if you use Mac OS X. Here's why:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Hard disk capacity is generally much greater now than a few years ago. With&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more free space available, the file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system doesn't need to fill up every&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;nook and cranny.&quot; Mac OS Extended&#xD;&#xA;&gt; formatting (HFS Plus) avoids reusing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; space from deleted files as much as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; possible, to avoid prematurely filling&#xD;&#xA;&gt; small areas of recently-freed space.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Mac OS X 10.2 and later includes delayed allocation for Mac OS X&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Extended-formatted volumes. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allows a number of small allocations&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to be combined into a single large&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allocation in one area of the disk.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Fragmentation was often caused by continually appending data to existing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; files, especially with resource forks.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With faster hard drives and better&#xD;&#xA;&gt; caching, as well as the new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application packaging format, many&#xD;&#xA;&gt; applications simply rewrite the entire&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file each time. **Mac OS X 10.3 Panther&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can also automatically defragment such&#xD;&#xA;&gt; slow-growing files.** This process is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sometimes known as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Hot-File-Adaptive-Clustering.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Aggressive read-ahead and write-behind caching means that minor&#xD;&#xA;&gt; fragmentation has less effect on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; perceived system performance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375" />

Useful in certain circumstances but it's less of an issue than it was with FAT or regular HFS. All filesystems will fragment but newer ones are more resistant to fragmenting so badly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking for Mac OS X specifically HFS+ does a decent enough job of trying to keep things from being fragmented compared to older systems but it still happens just not on the same scale. The OS itself also defrags &quot;small&quot; (20MB or smaller) files on the fly since 10.3 (Panther).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fragmenting still happens and you can see performance drop because of it, especially in video editing systems or a workflow that requires the ability to read or write large files quickly to the disk. For your standard user - a near non-issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most popular options for defragmenting a hard drive for OS X I've used and run across are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  * Cloning the hard drive to another drive and back. This is done using [Carbon Copy Cloner](http://www.bombich.com/software/index.html) or [SuperDuper](http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) and requires an extra hard drive. If done as part of a backup routine the time hit may not be terrible but it's free to do it this way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  * [iDefrag](http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php), [Drive Genius](http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius.php) and a handful of other utilities will all defragment your hard drive as well. Personally I prefer iDefrag." />

This is probably the most time saving feature in my documents folders.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also have a `personal` folder, which contains my non work related documents. Since I'm not much of a hoardak, I don't keep a lot of personal files - typically some text files and receipts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, I also have some dumping grounds inside my Documents, where I store things like Code Snippets, and whatnot for review.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do I plan to change? No, I'm pretty happy. " />

I own three of them, and have since given one of those to my parents. I'm also a Windows Administrator by trade, having administered hundreds of computers for hundreds of companies over many years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I made the switch several years ago, because I began to get really sick of fixing my own computers after coming back from a hard day at work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also helped several other people switch to mac from Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because Windows is so ubiquitous in the computing world, people assume that the standards that hold true in Windows (such as the task bar, start menu) hold true for OS X, which they don't. Some people can't seem to wrap their head around the paradigm shift. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I teach anyone to use a computer - I teach them the *what* and the *why* of what they're doing. In this way, the *how* becomes apparent very shortly after. A user that understands what and why should have no problems understanding how, because how is an extension of why and what.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you have a paradigm shift in computing - OSX is light years away from Windows in terms of usage. Closing a Window isn't necessarily closing a program, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Couple this with the fact that most people aren't willing to accept the paradigm shift and this is where the issue appears. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Too many people are used to using computers with the *how* rather than the *what* or *why*  because they simply haven't been taught correctly.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So when you want to get on a mac, and open the web browser, instinctively, people will look for the start menu. Their eyes will fall on the dock, and they'll force their brain to make the connection between the dock and the start menu. Which of course, is subtly flawed. (for the purposes of basic usage, this will work for most people however).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which brings us to another problem: Apple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Disclaimer: I love my iPhone, iPods (5g Video and Blue Mini), my iMac, and my two MBP's. I wouldn't change them for the world.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Apple doesn't trust your ability to think.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider a few of the following points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Apple was one of the first PC manufacturers to remove floppy disk drives from computers. There was an uproar, and Apple said &quot;We don't think our users want it&quot;. They were right, but that's a really gutsy move for most people to make (thinking for your users). Not so with Apple! We'll just remove those! Nobody needs them!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Apple does not consider you clever enough to start monkeying around in the UNIX subsystem of OSX from the GUI. Never mind you might be the most awesome person with UNIX - nooo. Apple says you can't mess with it, so you can't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Many Windows users will often scoff at Macs, using the Right Click as a failing. &quot;You can't right click!&quot; Actually, the point is that you *can* right click, but you just simply don't need to. Right Click seems and feels more like an afterthought for power users, who don't want to wade through 50 menus to get to some items they want. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. The same level of flexibility and customizability that exists on Windows does simply not exist on a Mac, because Apple doesn't think you're clever enough to appreciate anything but the default Aqua interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apple is a company that wants it's way, or the highway. At the end of the day, you're using a computer that is great and fantastic and all the other hype (that may or may not be deserved - that's another discussion) but if you're not willing to learn the *why*, *what* and accept the paradigm shift, then you're not going to enjoy your Mac all that much.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can learn those things, and accept the shift, then you'll probably be very happy. The applications on OSX are typically much better than their Windows brethren. To this day, I haven't found an application for PHP web development that even comes close to [Coda][1]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.panic.com/coda" />

Useful in certain circumstances but it's less of an issue than it was with FAT or regular HFS. All filesystems will fragment but newer ones are more resistant to fragmenting so badly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Speaking for Mac OS X specifically HFS+ does a decent enough job of trying to keep things from being fragmented compared to older systems but it still happens just not on the same scale. The OS itself also defrags &quot;small&quot; (20MB or smaller) files on the fly since 10.3 (Panther).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Fragmenting still happens and you can see performance drop because of it, especially in video editing systems or a workflow that requires the ability to read or write large files quickly to the disk. For your standard user - a near non-issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The most popular options for defragmenting a hard drive for OS X I've used and run across are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  * Cloning the hard drive to another drive and back. This is done using [Carbon Copy Cloner](http://www.bombich.com/software/index.html) or [SuperDuper](http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) and requires an extra hard drive. If done as part of a backup routine the time hit may not be terrible but it's free to do it this way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  * [iDefrag](http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php), [Drive Genius](http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius.php) and a handful of other utilities will all defragment your hard drive as well. Personally I prefer iDefrag." />

Price, mainly.  There also a certain kind of attitude that tends to encapsulate people that get too attached to a specific OS.  Mac's attitude tends to be the trend setting, pretentious, &quot;Ugh! Is Microsoft stealing our idea's *again*?!&quot;.  I'm not a big fan of that mindset, so I try to stay open to alternate OS's.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;What is holding you?. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To windows?  The only major thing that's kept me from sticking with a UNIX based OS is that I'm an avid gamer and let's face it, Mac and Linux do *not* have the level of support (yet) that even average games require, let alone games that rely on services like Steam or GFW.  I hope Mac and other OS'es manage to get there one day, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be happening any time soon, so I'm kind of stuck for the time being.  Besides, it seems like the interesting applications are *always* for the Operating System that you don't own; I like to cover my bases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;If you have switched already, are you willing to comeback?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Absolutely.  There's no way that my curiosity would allow me stay away from trying out the shiny new features and functions that Windows offers in each iteration of Operating System.  Besides, I find it to be really odd that people often try to lock themselves into a single operating system and expect it to meet all of their bizarre, esoteric needs.  We use different programming languages based on the kind of task that we need to accomplish, why should it be that different when it comes to an Operating System?" />

It's been sitting here for 2 year and I've never had to fix anything or replace anything. If I need to remove a bit of software I simply delete it and not have to worry if it mucks something up in the registry, I never have to load another driver again, etc, etc. About the most I have to do is login and approve a software update. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Simply when I feel I have to &quot;wait for something to happen&quot; I get very very frustrated and stressed so a Mac has instantly made my life at work more enjoyable and more productive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And yes I have set up a all Mac environment for a small corporate so far with excellent results (including costs!) which I'm not going to get into right now.

If you decide to remove the stickers, do it quickly. The stickers are not going to stay fresh for more than a year or two, depending upon its quality. If your laptop is a relic, skip to the very last step to use a chemical removal method.&#xD;&#xA;   2. **Decide which stickers to remove**. Some stickers are useful, such as OEM licensing stickers that will be voided when remove. Others may contain serial numbers, service tags, support information, or systems specifications. Commonly removed stickers include ones promoting the Windows operating system (ie: &quot;Designed for Windows XP&quot; and &quot;Windows Vista Capable&quot;),as well as Intel and AMD CPU stickers.&#xD;&#xA;   3. **Remember to do this slowly**. If you rush it and try to pull the whole thing off at once, you run the risk of tearing the sticker or separating the glue backing.&#xD;&#xA;   4. **Start from the edges**. Use your fingernails, a pair of tweezers, or a non-abrasive abrasive putty knife. Be careful not to scratch or damage any plastic or aluminum surfaces in the process.&#xD;&#xA;   5. **Pull the sticker up slowly** from the edge you just started. Try to pull it up using an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. Never bend the sticker back further than a 90 degree angle, as this will promote the separation of the glue backing and printed material.&#xD;&#xA;   6. **Clean the surface**. Some sticker residue may be rubbed off easily, while some require additional help. As always, avoid scratching the surface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;      1. First, try rubbing off the remaining residue by hand. Many forms of glue, even when mixed with a little paper, will curl up onto itself when moved over a surface.&#xD;&#xA;      2. Second, if rubbing doesn't help, try using duct tape or other very sticky tape to remove the remaining residue. Break or cut off a piece of tape, apply it to the surface, then remove it. Repeat this until all of the residue has been removed, and attached to the tape instead.&#xD;&#xA;      3. Third, if all previous attempts fail, use chemicals. A popular and extremely useful method is to use a citric-acid based cleaner such as &quot;Goo-Gone&quot;. These type of cleaners will not harm metal or harder plastics, but may dry the surface of softer plastics, leaving a white, frosted appearance. Test this on a small, hidden area first. Another liquid to try is alcohol. Another is WD-40 which won't hurt the surface and can be cleaned off the computer's surface with a dish rag and a little soap.&#xD;&#xA;   7. A product called &quot;Odor Assassin&quot; (Lemon-Lime Scent) that is available at most &quot;dollar&quot; and discount stores will dissolve most adhesives instantly and can be removed with a clean cotton face cloth." />

If the printer in general is clean, I would suggest taking a can of compressed air to it, but with CAUTION.  You do not want to inhale toner. Make sure you are in very open space or maybe outside. WARNING though, if it is a very dirty printer, you might just blow toner everywhere and make everything dirty.  That is when you might want to consider professional cleaning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, try not to use cheap remanufactored toner cartridges. They have a much higher chance of leaking toner and can make a big mess.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you have already gone through and cleaned what you could see, try these. It is worth a shot before you attempt anything more expensive. And whatever you buy, make sure it is made to work with a laser printer.  They can get very hot and need to be used with the proper cleaning sheets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/470251/Office-Depot-Brand-Laser-Printer-Cleaning/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, you also might want to invest in the toner approved vacuum.  These are designed to deal with toner and fine particles. I have personaly used this one at an old job. You do not want to use a standard vacuum. These come with a toner specific bag/filter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?edc=467195" />

I suggest either having it professionaly cleaned or attempt it yourself if you are confortable with it. There is toner sitting somewhere in the printer on the roller and it looks like it is piled up on the edge.  If the printer in general is clean, I would suggest taking a can of compressed air to it, but with CAUTION.  You do not want to inhale toner. Make sure you are in very open space or maybe outside. WARNING though, if it is a very dirty printer, you might just blow toner everywhere and make everything dirty.  That is when you might want to consider professional cleaning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, try not to use cheap remanufactored toner cartridges. They have a much higher chance of leaking toner and can make a big mess.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you have already gone through and cleaned what you could see, try these laser printer cleaning sheets. They are worth a shot before you attempt anything more expensive. And whatever you buy, make sure it is made to work with a laser printer.

It's not exactly a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; functional, standalone version of IE6&#xD;&#xA;&gt; though, so if you are looking for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that, use the method below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Here's a nice article about it:][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Got a work intranet application that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; works fine in IE6 but doesn't like&#xD;&#xA;&gt; IE7? Amazingly, Microsoft has provided&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a way to install the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; non-Vista-compatible IE6 on Vista and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 7. Well, maybe not quite, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; near enough...&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Internet Explorer 7 has been out for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; quite a while now, yet there are still&#xD;&#xA;&gt; plenty of sites out there that can’t&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cope with it, and demand that users&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connect using IE6. Unfortunately, most&#xD;&#xA;&gt; people (certainly the vast majority of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; home users) are running IE7 -- or even&#xD;&#xA;&gt; IE8 beta -- having received it as part&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of a Windows XP update, or they’re&#xD;&#xA;&gt; running Windows Vista or Windows 7&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which uses IE7 or IE8 respectively by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; default.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you’re running Windows XP, you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roll back to IE6, but this seems&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather a shame to do. If you’re&#xD;&#xA;&gt; running Windows Vista, there’s no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rollback option since IE6 was never&#xD;&#xA;&gt; released for Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; What you can do instead is make use of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft’s Internet Explorer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Application Compatibility VPC Image.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; These are two virtual PC hard drive&#xD;&#xA;&gt; images (downloadable here) which&#xD;&#xA;&gt; contain a full, pre-activated copy of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows XP SP2 – one contains IE6 and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the other IE7. The idea is to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; users able to test either application,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and to this end each image contains&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the IE7 Readiness Toolkit, the Script&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Debugger and the IE Developer Toolbar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The individual downloads are fairly chunky (443MB and 491MB respectively) and expand out to 1.48GB and 1.58GB VHD files. To use the files, you need to install Virtual PC 2007, create a new machine using the default settings, and then go into each virtual machine and point the hard drive to the VHD file you just downloaded. Make sure the other settings are correct (especially networking) and then start the machines from the console.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://apcmag.com/how_to_install_ie6_on_vista.htm" />

You can use the `wmctrl -a &quot;AppTitle&quot;` command to bring the app to the front. `wmctrl -l` will list all available windows, so it should be easy to write a shell script that checks if your program is running and either launches it or brings it to the front. Then you can just bind that to a keyboard shortcut. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First save the following script somewhere, I'll use `/home/jtb/code/bringToFront`. It takes two arguments, the first is what you would type at the terminal to launch the program, the second is a substring of the program window's title. If there is no constant unique string in the title then you'll need to do a bit more work to find the program's window.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/bash&#xD;&#xA;    if [ `wmctrl -l | grep -c &quot;$2&quot;` != 0 ]  &#xD;&#xA;    then&#xD;&#xA;        wmctrl -a &quot;$2&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    else&#xD;&#xA;        $1 &amp;&#xD;&#xA;    fi&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. With the script in your current directory, run `chmod +x bringToFront` to make the script executable. Then make sure it works; to launch/focus firefox you could run `./bringToFront firefox &quot;Mozilla Firefox&quot;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Now we need to bind a shortcut key. Run `gconf-editor` and navigate the folder structure to the left to `/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Double click on the first `command` with a blank value, probably `command_1`. Type the full path to the script and provide the two parameters, e.g. `/home/jtb/code/bringToFront firefox Firefox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. From the panel on the left, select `global_keybindings`, the next folder up. Find the `run` entry matching the command you just defined, probably `run_command_1`. Double click it and type the keyboard shortcut you want to use. Put the modifiers in angle brackets, e.g. `&lt;Ctrl&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;F`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now &lt;kbd&gt;Control&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;F&lt;/kbd&gt; will bring your firefox window to the front, or launch it if it's not already running." />

A common example is the use of graphics adapters from two different manufacturers, each of which requires a different graphics driver from the respective manufacturer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM) brings fundamental changes to the management of multiple graphics adapters and external displays. This includes a new restriction, because WDDM drivers **do not support &quot;heterogeneous multi-adapter&quot;** multi-monitor implementations. Specifically:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - All graphics adapters in a system must use the same display driver model. That is, all of them should either be running XPDM or WDDM. The driver models are mutually exclusive, and Windows Vista does not allow the simultaneous loading of both an XPDM driver and a WDDM driver.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If a system has one graphics adapter with a XPDM driver and another with a WDDM driver, then Windows Vista will choose the POST device, which is the one with VGA resources. This is commonly referred to as the &quot;VGA adapter.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If multiple graphics adapters are present in a system, all of them must use the same WDDM driver. If there are two graphics adapters with WDDM drivers from two different manufacturers, then Windows will disable one of them. The VGA adapter will be enabled, and the second device will be disabled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion: get the Matrox, since it fixes your problem&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/multimonVista.mspx" />

The company needs a new round of financing or a quick acquisition to stay online, but so far neither are happening. CEO Randy Adams wrote to me this morning with an update on where things stand. I reprint most of it below with his permission. Bottom line, The site may go offline at least temporarily tomorrow if a buyer does not step in (Update: The site now redirects to Google):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You are correct, we haven’t closed the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; financing. We knew when we started the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; company that to compete with the likes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of Microsoft, Google and Yahoo,it was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; going to take at least $100 million,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; half to build the back end across&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thousands of servers and half to get&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distribution (maybe more with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft spending $100 million on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Bing advertising alone). What we&#xD;&#xA;&gt; didn’t plan on was the terrible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; downturn in the economy which made it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; impossible to raise another $50&#xD;&#xA;&gt; million to get distribution (mainly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; through toolbar deals). In this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; economy nobody wants to invest that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; kind of money in a company that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; pre-revenue, even if the net result is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; potentially a multi-billion dollar&#xD;&#xA;&gt; company.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; There are some positive things though.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In the process of trying to engage&#xD;&#xA;&gt; strategic investors we discovered that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; our tech really resonates with the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; people in the emerging broadband TV&#xD;&#xA;&gt; market where you will soon be able to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; easily access all the internet’s video&#xD;&#xA;&gt; on your TV. Directories don’t scale&#xD;&#xA;&gt; well so you’ll absolutely need search&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to find things to watch and visual&#xD;&#xA;&gt; search for multi-media content works&#xD;&#xA;&gt; much better than a list of links on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your TV which you can’t read from 10&#xD;&#xA;&gt; feet away. We are putting together&#xD;&#xA;&gt; some deals with chip vendors and set&#xD;&#xA;&gt; top box manufacturers to port the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; software over to their platforms and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; we are going to concentrate on that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; market going forward.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So the plan now (unless a buyer or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; white knight jumps in at the last&#xD;&#xA;&gt; moment) is to significantly downsize,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; take the site down for a while&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (probably tomorrow) and refocus the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tech in a space where we don’t have to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have 3,000 servers costing a million a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; month to run on the back end. We are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; going to have to do some serious&#xD;&#xA;&gt; restructuring to deal with our debt&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and recapitalize with a different&#xD;&#xA;&gt; capital structure but at the end of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the day we should be able to create a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; healthier company with a MUCH lower&#xD;&#xA;&gt; burn rate, with the IP intact and a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; significant distribution channel.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Headcount will go from 45 in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; current company to probably about 10&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the new one which is very difficult&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for everyone but unfortunately&#xD;&#xA;&gt; necessary. We’ve brought back our&#xD;&#xA;&gt; former recruiter, Deva Santiago, to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; handle placement for those affected&#xD;&#xA;&gt; employees and we have some great&#xD;&#xA;&gt; talent so I’m sure they will get&#xD;&#xA;&gt; snapped up pretty quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/24/searchme-may-go-offline-tomorrow/" />

The cabling is gorgeous - there's even a wiring cabinet of sorts in a closet where the cables all tie together to the splitter to the outside line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, my problem is that I only own the one TV.  I do, however, own a few computers.  What I would love to be able to do is drop a switch in the wiring closet and run 100/1000BASE-T ethernet over the coax in the walls I wouldn't otherwise be using.  My fantasy would be if you could get some kind of adapter-plug-thing that would take a coax plug on one side and a cat5/RJ45 plug on the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Had anyone else done this?  Any suggestions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(There are a few other options that suggest themselves - first, I could just use the existing cabling channels and re-run cat5 or 6 through the walls.  While tempting, that sounds like more work than I really want to put in, so I'm calling that Plan B.  Also, I could just scare up a mess of old 10BASE2 cards and run the house on [thinnet][1], all mid-90s style.  While I think I'd get major style points for that, I don't think I can get a 10BASE2 adapter for the new laptop.  Also, I have all these super-snazzy gigabit adaptors I'd like to be using.  And so forth.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinnet" />

If you're willing to risk the odds, then by all means don't get the equipment. Save a few bucks in the short term and pat yourself on the back.

I sleep *very* comfortably at night with well over 400GB of storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The purpose  of the UPS would be to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; prevent a  &quot;meltdown&quot; of the computer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; due to bad  power in the area, i.e.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it's  toast(tm).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The general idea behind a UPS is *uninteruppted* power supply. If a brownout occurs, no problem. The UPS switches to the battery to supply clean power and switches back when the line is A-OK. You'd be amazed at how many brownouts/blackouts occur when you're at work or in the middle of the night. Make sure to use the software between the computer and the UPS to log issues that arise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With the cost of some computers, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; UPS approaches half the replacement&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cost of the machine, which is why I'm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; asking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Equipment costs aside, paying $300 for a computer and paying $150 for a UPS is a meaningless comparison. Let's be clear, *data* is the **most** important thing about a computer. When you get right down to the core, the difference between one machine and another is mere perception. If you could care less about files, and all you do is browse the internet, email and play games, *maybe* a UPS is a bit overkill. But if you value your personal and historical (private) information, a UPS is but a small step towards preventing disaster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should note there is one caveat to a UPS: cloud storage. If you care about your document/pics/whatever, you could use something like dropbox or Amazon S3 storage to remotely backup your information leaving your home computer to chance. Granted, if you *trust* those providers and wave any thoughts about your privacy, then that's a free/cheap alternative to a UPS. " />

On the surface this may seem like a trivial problem only related to the theme/template in use, but that's unfortunately not the case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One example of a provider which can't fullfill this requirement is Blogger. Altough the pages of the blogs there presents themselfs as `XHTML 1.0 Strict` it is impossible to actually comply with the requirements inheritied by that markup type in the blog (as the XHTML which is generated by Blogger makes the page as a whole invalid).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've sent a mail to Tumblr to see if it was possible with them, but so far my reply consists of them having forwarded my mail with a &quot;suggestion&quot; to the development department. I don't know if we had a communication error or if I'm actually going to receive a proper answer later. Time will tell. I haven't had time to investigate Tumblr myself, so they may very well be the solution to this problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum things up, I'm looking for any provider:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Of a free blog.&#xD;&#xA; - The blog must have the capability to validate as `XHTML Strict 1.0`. With capability I mean that the system shouldn't get in the way of creating/using a theme which complies as `XHTML Strict 1.0`.&#xD;&#xA; - Preferably is large or at least likely to stay around for a couple of years to come. But I'm willing to take my chances if none of the established providers are up to the task.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you for reading! I hope you know of any provider which would be suitable, preferably with proof by linking to a blog there which validates. I'm not looking for suggestions to look into, as there are far to many to investigate and far too little time.

Saying that the OS only reported 3GB of RAM when you knew your machine had 4 GB installed probably caused all kinds of support calls and support costs for Microsoft. The cheapest and simplest solution was to just change what Vista reported to the user, regardless of how much memory was addressable. My guess is that any amount of RAM greater than or equal to 3GB triggers x86 Vista reporting 4GB installed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Vista SP1 Notable Changes][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With SP1, Windows Vista will report&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the amount of system memory installed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather than report the amount of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system memory available to the OS.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Therefore 32-bit systems equipped with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4GB of RAM will report all 4GB in many&#xD;&#xA;&gt; places throughout the OS, such as the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; System Control Panel.

I use some rendering software to create it. I've created quite a few other images, and I've published them online on a site called Renderotica which I won't link to here due to it being a bit erotic. (Yeah, half my artwork is erotic by nature, simply because it's fun to create as a hobby.)&#xD;&#xA;Now, someone notified me that four of my images have been used on another site, which is not associated to Renderotica. This, of course is a form of theft and I wonder what legal options I have against this other site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first option is to send a DMCA notice. I've sent four, one for every image I found, and I hope it will be effective. Then again, the site is hosted by a company outside the USA. So I need some alternative solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More people from Renderotica have complained that their content was stolen from the Renderotica site to be used on the other (porn) site. They too don't like this. They have done a little bit of digging to check the site owner and discovered it's hosted by a company in the Netherlands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I happen to live in the Netherlands too, so maybe I have some other legal options against this site, if they don't take my images down! This would be an interesting option to investigate, but I don't know where to start and how much it could cost me. (Btw, even though it's a sensitive subject, I'm not afraid to publicly admit that I've created erotic images. In the Netherlands, we're a bit more open-0minded about this, I guess.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, any good advise about my legal options? (Especially options that would apply to the Netherlands?)" />

Backup your information and reformat the pen drive.&#xD;&#xA;2. Once the format has complete, use Disk Management to remove the drive's letter. &#xD;&#xA;3. Unplug the drive, then plug it back in.&#xD;&#xA;4. The drive should then be assigned a new letter, and all should be right with the world.&#xD;&#xA;5.

Download Vmware Workstation and install it.&#xD;&#xA;2. Create a new virtual machine for Windows, choose Custom then pick LSI Logic as SCSI card, use physical DVD-ROM or ISO image as where do you want to install Windows from.&#xD;&#xA;3. Have your USB drive plugged in. Use physical disk (Advanced) of your USB drive in VMware. Make sure that you choose the correct physical drive (drive 1 usually) or else you might wipe the current OS drive.&#xD;&#xA;4. Use entire disk.&#xD;&#xA;5. Click advanced on disk in virtual machine settings. Click on Independent and persistent changes for the disk.&#xD;&#xA;6. Now, please remove all assigned letters in disk management(diskmgmt.msc) for the USB drive.&#xD;&#xA;7. Also make sure you format the drive during Vista installation inside VMware. If it is already formatted you still need to format during Vista installation (or else u might get corrupt boot as crcdisk error).&#xD;&#xA;8. Vmware will show that drive as SCSI disk under LSI Logic controller, this is fine as Vista will install on a SCSI disk.&#xD;&#xA;9. Boot and go through the Vista install procedure in Vmware.&#xD;&#xA;10. Let Vista boot into the desktop for the first time in VMware, after that just launch PWBoot program (you need to copy it to your virtual machine first).&#xD;&#xA;11. Click the Patch button on the main PWBoot program.&#xD;&#xA;12. Shutdown Windows Vista inside the Vmware.&#xD;&#xA;13. Close Vmware.&#xD;&#xA;14.

The main problem, on your part, is the cost of enforcing your copyright. Movie studios and record companies have millions of dollars and teams of lawyers to chase copyright infringers, you probably have very limited resources, both time and money and lawyers are expensive, especially when the dispute crosses national boundaries. Legal correspondance from yourself usually ends up in the bin. Even if you won a legal battle, you'd lose out financially as you'd be very lucky to get legal costs awarded to you. I know it sounds harsh, but that's just the way it is. I once had a contract to develop some software and the other guy refused to pay and there was very little I could do about it. Even the small claims court couldn't force the other guy to pay up, they'd only get a black mark on their credit rating.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OK, so the question you need to ask is &quot;how can I dissuade people from using my artwork?&quot; Obviously your artwork is high quality as people are wanting to use it on other sites. Have you tried emdedding a copyright notice into the image itself? Maybe as a logo on clothing or some text that names the site you've posted the image to. Just make it really difficult to remove, so text in the corner won't work but text on the side of a boot/glove/scarf/shield/whatever would work providing the text was easily readably.

Check that before you do anything, as lot of hardware companies don't have any available. If you can't find Windows 7 drivers, usually the Vista drivers will work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ontop of that, if you are using your laptop for heavy-lifting applications that require a lot of memory, then 64bit is better. Though with 2gb of RAM it's barely going to make any difference for you, as 64bit excels because it can support more than the ~3gb limit of 32 bit windows. So the advantage is once you have more than 4gb of ram.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The heavy-lifting applications usually are 3D software: Maya, 3DS Max, or graphics applications such as Photoshop and Gimp. Also gaming on 64bit gives slightly faster framerates, though that's a product of the processor and motherboard not the operating system. Your existing games may not work on 64 bit Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are also likely to find some installers refuse to install on a 64bit version too, mostly from dumb installers looking at registry keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My choice would be stick with 32 bit Windows 7, as a laptop (atleast one that only has 2gb of RAM) is probably not going to be used for any of those applications, or gaming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want another opinion [Tomshardware][1] has a few threads on it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-661_47_0.html" />

For example you found benchmark results for chipsets X and Y for Intel processor 2GHz. Also you have benchmarks for 2.0Ghz and 2.33Ghz processors but for chipset Z. If 2.33Ghz is faster then 2.0Ghz say in 10% on chipset Z, could you expect that it will be faster in 10% on chipsets X and Y, so you can multiply you previous benchmarks on 1.1 ??? This is reasonable, but this will be only an approximate result.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also please take into account that there is no benchmark that suite all users and each benchmark can depend more on some computer components and less on another.

The first time I heard of it was from an EE who said the method was fairly similar to the rinse baths used to clean circuit boards (remember, this was two decades ago).  The detergent you use does a fairly nice job of scouring the plastics, and minimizes any corrosion (which is how your flatware doesn't turn into rust).  Try to use straight granular detergent, and not a gel-pack or pillow-pack, as newer &quot;tabs&quot; can introduce other chemical agents that are less desirable.  If you are concerned about electrical contacts, first try without any detergent at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Candidates&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trick to doing this is to look at the &quot;style&quot; and &quot;type&quot; of keyboard in use.  As keyboards have become more sophisticated, there's more elements that can potentially have trouble.  Old keyboards tend to be fairly mechanical beasts, with lots of contact switches and metal or plastic springs.  These are the best candidates for a wash.  Some keyboards, however, are not suitable for this - they either have parts that will not survive a wash intact ([leatherette palm rests on a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000][1]) or have embedded electronics that can trap water ([LCD displays recessed behind a panel on gaming keyboards][2]).  In each case, look at the construction of the keyboard before proceeding, and keep in mind that it may not survive intact.  If you're still willing, read on.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Wash&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest way to do this is to place the keyboard in the top tray, key-side-down, so that the water/detergent mix will &quot;spray up&quot; into the keys themselves.  This also helps a bit with drainage when you finally remove the keyboard.  Also important is that you disable any &quot;heated-dry cycle&quot; that the dishwasher may have, as some have heating elements in the top and may cause damage or melted plastic.  If this is not possible, consider placing it in the middle of the bottom rack, in such a way that the keyboard is away from any heating elements, and preferably suspended slightly higher than the base of the bottom rack (maybe perched on something else).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Dry&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the wash cycle has completed, remove the keyboard and place it on a towel in such a way that it is on-edge and tilted key-side-down, so that any residual water can work its way down through gravity.  Let the keyboard remain in this position for a minimum of two days.  After two days, pick the keyboard up and examine it - if you see *any* residual water all, let it sit for another two days, and so on.  The point of this is to ensure that the keyboard will air-dry completely.  If you have any doubts or concerns at all, leave the keyboard like this for a *week* to ensure that it has throughly air-dried.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Test&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, the final test is to see if the keyboard works.  Unfortunately, this means plugging it in.  If at all possible, see if you can use an older (disposable?) machine to accomplish this.  Although most machines will not be harmed by this, better safe than sorry.  After you plug it in, be sure to test every key switch on the keyboard by stroking each row of keys with your finger.  A text editor is a quick, easy way to check this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once purchased (a long time ago) an NCD X terminal.  The terminal had a fairly standard-looking keyboard, but it had one problem - someone appeared to have split 7up on several of the keys, making them stick and slide slowly (the E wouldn't move at all if I recall).  After using the wash'n'dry method, I was able to get all but the E key to move freely.  The E key &quot;crunched&quot; (the sugar had re-crystallized) but still was sticky.  A second wash later it moved freely, and it never malfunctioned afterwards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&amp;cl=US,EN" />

Exchange 2007 does not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;WINS is used primarily for using NetBIOS names between subnets. If you do not have multiple subnets, then you do not need WINS, as your Domain controllers will manage the names properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most organizations running Windows Server 2003 or 2008 networks do not need WINS, except for legacy applications (as you have asked about). You should check with each software vendor to ensure their application will work wihtout WINS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Microsoft's best practice is to move away from WINS and NetBIOS entirely. It is possible in some cases to resolve naming issues by setting default DNS suffix on client machines (best practice: set through DHCP), which appends the dns suffix to any single-name queries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you are using shares or accessing device by the NetBIOS name and you are disabling NetBIOS from your network, you will need to access devices and shares using the FQDN. For example, \\server1\share\file.txt would be accessed by \\server1.example.com\share\file.txt.

I used to think that it may be because the text is being written directly to the screen (eg port B800) or something, but I have yet to pin down the cause, let alone find a program that can do this job.&#xD;&#xA;" />

For example, is there some device that will draw a lot of power (video cards are probably the worst, especially if you're running SLI, because you have two cards...)  A plain vanilla machine may run happily with 350W, but a gaming machine will probably need at least 450-500.&#xD;&#xA;* There's not a huge price difference on wattage steps, but there is a significant brand difference.  With a PSU, you (generally) get what you pay for.  A high quality PSU will set you back a few more bucks, but it will provide stable power.  Your computer can get very flaky if the PSU isn't stable.&#xD;&#xA;* I've seen a couple rare circumstances where a PSU and motherboard aren't compatible and lead to system instability.  Like I said, it's rare, but read your motherboard manufacturer's site and documentation to see if there are any known issues.  For example, some Asus boards won't work well with a &quot;high-efficiency&quot; PSU." />

Text="Lots of potential things off the top of my head.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are you sure the crontab entry is really pointing at your script?  For example, if you want to run a script such as _~noc/bin/script.sh_, but have an entry like _/home/noc/bin/script_ (ie a subtle typo) then of course it won't work.  I usually check my crontab entries by copying the command out of crontab with my mouse, then pasting it into a command prompt, just to be 100% sure that it is going to run what I want it to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does your script contain _only_ the indicated line?  Usually you have to include something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/bash&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;...at the top of your script to get it to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is more complicated than the single line, are you _sure_ the programming logic will permit it to run that particular line?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try reducing your script to&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/bash&#xD;&#xA;    echo &quot;Bing!&quot; &gt;&gt; /tmp/cronjob&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;...to see what happens.  If that works, you have a programming issue in your cron script.  If it fails, you have a cron issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is the 'noc' user the one running the script?  If not, are you sure that the user running the cron script has read/write access through /home/noc to the email.log file?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where is the error email from the user running the cronjob going?  Is an error email being generated, and then getting sent somewhere you are not expecting or maybe getting dumped altogether?  Try a cronjob of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/bin/bash&#xD;&#xA;    echo &quot;Bing!&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;...and then try to figure out where the email that is generated goes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are cron.deny and/or cron.allow in play?

Text="The avatar I use in my profile is an image that I created myself. I use some rendering software to create it. I've created quite a few other images, and I've published them online on a site called Renderotica which I won't link to here due to it being a bit erotic. (Yeah, half my artwork is erotic by nature, simply because it's fun to create as a hobby.)&#xD;&#xA;Now, someone notified me that four of my images have been used on another site, which is not associated to Renderotica. This, of course is a form of theft and I wonder what legal options I have against this other site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first option is to send a DMCA notice. I've sent four, one for every image I found, and I hope it will be effective. Then again, the site is hosted by a company outside the USA. So I need some alternative solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More people from Renderotica have complained that their content was stolen from the Renderotica site to be used on the other (porn) site. They too don't like this. They have done a little bit of digging to check the site owner and discovered it's hosted by a company in the Netherlands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I happen to live in the Netherlands too, so maybe I have some other legal options against this site, if they don't take my images down! This would be an interesting option to investigate, but I don't know where to start and how much it could cost me. (Btw, even though it's a sensitive subject, I'm not afraid to publicly admit that I've created erotic images. In the Netherlands, we're a bit more open-0minded about this, I guess.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, any good advise about my legal options? (Especially options that would apply to the Netherlands?)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Update: I just sent an email to a Dutch legal advisor to get a bit more information about my options and possible costs. A first intake-talk would be free but afterwards, the costs would be around €150 per hour. Of course, I won't need any further legal advise myself if the offending site owner will respond to the DMCA notices by removing my images. (And I assume he will.) I still have to wait for any further responses but in general, those who advise to contact a lawyer are giving the most accurate answer. Peter Smit provided a link to http://blog.iusmentis.com/ and through that link I've found a possible lawyer who might be able to help. Therefore, I accepted his answer, although all answers have been very valuable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do hope that the DMCA notices I've sent will have the desired effect, though. In which case I can pass the information I've found to the other members of the site where I posted my own artwork." />

I love being able to navigate the file system and perform operations w/o having to touch the mouse or even look at the monitor.&#xD;&#xA; 1. [VirtuaWin][2].  IMHO, this is one of the best virtual desktop solutions.  I find virtual desktops a must when multi-tasking and managing many, many windows.  I detest *window management*.  With this, I can set up my windows an separate desktops and never have to move/re-size them.  For me, the big win with VirtuaWin is that it supports *spacial navigation* so that you can move to the desktop to the right/left/up/down.  Quite convenient with you have 9 desktops in a 3x3 configuration.&#xD;&#xA; 1. [FinePrint][3].  This is a virtual printer that lets you do n-up printing.  For me, this satisfies 2 needs.  First, it reduces paper consumption (does anyone remember the aptly named SaveATree software for the old Mac operating systems?) Secondly, I work at many different locations (including home) and favor hardcopy for carrying around documentation/source code printouts...  n-up greatly reduces the weight and bulk of what I have to lug around.  (Aside, my proudest moment, using a2ps from cygwin and FinePrint to 36-up and duplex a large log file... just barely readable... was able to fit the 200 page printout on 3 pieces of paper).

It is a specially formatted http link on many web pages that lists some or all of the recent content generated at that website. The idea is that a RSS Reader can poll that link on a regular basis, and then inform the user of that RSS reader that there is new content. This means that the user can get on with the reading without having to manually visit each site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For people who have a lot of websites that they want to see content from, it is a huge timesaver. I have 187 subscriptions in my Google Reader right now, and it would be prohibitively time-intensive to manually check that many sites. My old method of checking, which was to separate all links by topics and then open each topic into separate tabs once per day and then go through them during the day, would not scale with this many links.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The advantage of this way of reading sites is that it is totally reader controlled.  You don't ask for permission to join, like a mailing list -- you just do.  Similarly you don't ask for permission to leave, you just drop it if it becomes too [stale|noisy|challenging-to-your-world-view] and the author never knows you've gone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another advantage of RSS is that sites that infrequently update just vanish from your reader when there is no new content, and then automatically re-appear when new content is published.  This saves you the tedious checking of websites which only update randomly or infrequently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another interesting use of RSS is Twitter following.  I throw people who I am marginally interested in (celebrities, for lack of a better term) into my Google Reader, and then my personal Twitter stream isn't polluted with their updates; and I still see their updates on my terms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally use Google Reader as my RSS reader.  I do this mostly so that my feeds and whats-been-read is automatically sync'd across the three devices I regularly read from (my desktop, my laptop, and my blackberry)." />

The strange desire for animations in presentations makes you think your presentation is effective, but in fact draws your audience's attention away from your words.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I do need to have visual aids (like diagrams, but not like cartoons, boring definitions, or long quotations), I generally employ the [S5 slideshow system][1], which allows me to write my presentations as a single webpage and run them on virtually any computer that has a web browser.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/" />

Take a look at Tom Peters' presentations, one of the most famous lecturers in the management field.

The idea is that ssh-agent is started&#xD;&#xA;     in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other windows or programs are started as clients to the ssh-agent&#xD;&#xA;     program.

CPUs are so incredibly fast these days that to keep one pegged for more than a few seconds requires only processing intensive work.  The bottleneck for your system, especially at boot or application load, is more likely going to be your hard drive, or to a lesser extent your RAM.  For graphics, the CPU does very little anymore, and the GPU is the place to focus if you want a performance improvement (for some games, loading the graphics from the hard disk might also be a factor here).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the average user, I expect the i7 to be vastly overpowered.  Already a Core2 Quad is plenty for even a powerful workstation; in the next couple years, I'd guess that only server loads or specialized tasks will benefit from the new gains in CPU speed and cores.

If you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; do not want to use Tweak UI you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; change the setting in the Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Registry.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Navigate to the Registry key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; HKEY_CURRENT_USER &gt; Control Panel &gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Desktop and change the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ForegroundLockTimeout value to 30d40&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Hexadecimal) or 200000 (Decimal).

Most modern CPUs will ramp their speed down in the presence of an over-heat situation, so while normally you'd expect your graphics card to be the main bottle-neck in this system for current games that might not be the case if the CPU is getting too warm. The GPU may also do the same sort of thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you find heat is a problem, then you need to improve airflow around the case. I you have no case fans then get some - these will make more difference than just replacing the CPU cooler as help move cool air into the case and hot out. If you don't have decent air-flow the CPU and GPU fans will end up just circulating hot air around like a desk fan in a hot room with all the doors and windows closed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you've checked all your drivers &amp; firmware are up-to-date and ruled out heat, you might have a faulty CPU/GPU/somethingelse. You could try swapping parts around where they are compatible (if you still have the old machine). For instance if the graphics card is at fault you might find the old card makes the new machine faster instead of slower as would be expected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once other thing to note: if WindowsUpdate suggests a graphics driver update, ignore it. You need to be using the latest (or at least something recent) from the manufacturer for performance and in my experience this isn't the case with the ones found via Windows Update." />

Text="You have to weigh up the cost (in terms of time and inconvenience) against the benefit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Software tends to fall into three categories:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) That which behaves well in this regard and therefore so long as it's even remotely useful is fine&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) That which behaves badly but is very useful (or, like Java, basically mandatory) in which case you have to go through advanced installs, deselect options and then tidy up after it.  Not great and leaves a bad taste in your mouth but ultimately the effort is still worth it because what you get at the end is still worth having (or at the very least the price of doing business).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) That which behaves badly and doesn't offer enough benefit in which case for me it doesn't even get as far as completing the install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see the appeal of the model from the perspective of those being paid but for those piggybacking their products it's essentially the refuge of the desperate.  Think about it - your product is free but it's so bad you're effectively having to pay people to install it.  How about putting that money into developing something people don't object to instead?  Might be a bit more sustainable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Put that way I'd hope that this is something which will pass with time, a business model which will ultimately be seen as unworkable, that does little other than skew the installed user base numbers (after all, who cares if they've got it installed if they don't use it, hate it and hate you as a result) and damage your reputation.

Yes, online is cheaper, but you need to get an idea of what the thing is going to be like when you look at it.  Admittedly, it might be hard to select one based upon the resolution of the video source in the store, but it's still worth it IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's some other tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you're using it for gaming, make sure you get something with good gamma correction/backlight.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're doing serious things with photography, keep color management in mind.  Perhaps even get a colorimeter like a Spyder to calibrate your LCD monitor.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're eyes aren't amazing, or they all seem to look the same after awhile, I suggest finding someone with good eyes.  In my case, I usually grab my mother (fashion designer, very picky about color and I/O devices, she uses fashion design software very heavily) and have her go with me when I shop.  I usually find that my mother picks out monitors that look amazing, last a long time.  But they are usually the most expensive at the store.  That said, no one ever complains about them in a family of 6 heavy computer users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specwise tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - LCDs are designed to look excellent at only one resolution, the native one.  Examine your apps/games and determine what resolution you want/need for this, and get an LCD that has that resolution as native&#xD;&#xA; - The higher the resolution the better, usually.&#xD;&#xA; - You want reasonably high response time, although sometimes these are reported incorrectly.&#xD;&#xA; - Some new ones have HDMI ports :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lest I make a brand preference, in the past these have been Samsungs.  When I picked up an LCD like 2 years ago for school, I got a Samsung as a) it was the cheapest there, and b) all the stores I went to used them for their POS terminals, they all took a beating and looked great, and c) the picture was very natural.  I figured I'd be getting the same quality, and that seemed to be the case.  I also must admit that I am very happy with my 23&quot; Acer at work, although the out-of-the-box color accuracy wasn't quite as nice and it needs a calibration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As usual YMMV." />

Not great and leaves a bad taste in your mouth but ultimately the effort is still worth it because what you get at the end is still worth having (or at the very least the price of doing business).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) That which behaves badly and doesn't offer enough benefit in which case for me it doesn't even get as far as completing the install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see the appeal of the model from the perspective of those being paid but for those piggybacking their products it's essentially the refuge of the desperate.  Think about it - your product is free but it's so bad you're effectively having to pay to get people to install it.  How about putting that money into developing something people don't object to instead?  Might be a bit more sustainable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Put that way I'd hope that this is something which will pass with time, a business model which will ultimately be seen as unworkable, that does little other than skew the installed user base numbers (after all, who cares if they've got it installed if they don't use it, hate it and hate you as a result) and damage your reputation.

Your private key isn't tied to a single machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Not sure what you mean by non-obvious, that's often subjective ;). It's not a bad idea at all if you make sure you have a very strong passphrase set, 20 characters at least.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are no issues about connecting with the same key as your desktop. I would set up an ssh agent for your key on the laptop, and forward the agent to the desktop, so you'll be using that key on other systems you access from there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the ssh-agent man page on a Linux system:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    ssh-agent is a program to hold private keys used for public key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; authentication (RSA, DSA).  The idea&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is that ssh-agent is started&#xD;&#xA;&gt;      in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; windows or programs are started as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clients to the ssh-agent&#xD;&#xA;&gt;      program.  Through use of environment variables the agent can be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; located and automatically used for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; authentication when logging in&#xD;&#xA;&gt;      to other machines using ssh(1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You would run this on your laptop, either the ssh-agent program on Linux/Unix (it comes with OpenSSH), or with puTTY agent if you're using Windows. You do not need the agent running on any remote systems, it purely keeps your private key in memory on the local system so you only have to enter your passphrase one time, to load the key in the agent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Agent forwarding is a feature of the ssh client (`ssh` or putty) that simply persists the agent through to other systems through the ssh connection." />

Examples might be 500:1 for a normal ratio and 10,000:1 on a dynamic ratio.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The contrast ratio is how well the monitor displays the darkest darks vs the lightest lights. A low contrast ratio will cause the image to look kind of washed out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason the dynamic contrast ratio is so much larger than the normal contrast ratio is that the actual contrast of the screen is 500:1, but the back light on the monitor will dim or brighten to match the scene of the movie (or game, or whatever). If you have a very hight dynamic contrast ratio then bright will be brighter, and black will be blacker, but not at the same time. The contrast ratio is still 500:1 at any given time. It's a bit like advertising &quot;This display can display colors out of a pallet of over one billion (only 16 colors at a time).&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, don't put too much stock into dynamic contrast ratios.

Yes, online is cheaper, but you need to get an idea of what the thing is going to be like when you look at it.  Admittedly, it might be hard to select one based upon the resolution of the video source in the store, but it's still worth it IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's some other tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you're using it for gaming, make sure you get something with good gamma correction/backlight.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're doing serious things with photography, keep color management in mind.  Perhaps even get a colorimeter like a Spyder to calibrate your LCD monitor.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're eyes aren't amazing, or they all seem to look the same after awhile, I suggest finding someone with good eyes.  In my case, I usually grab my mother (fashion designer, very picky about color and I/O devices, she uses fashion design software very heavily) and have her go with me when I shop.  I usually find that my mother picks out monitors that look amazing, last a long time.  But they are usually the most expensive at the store.  That said, no one ever complains about them in a family of 6 heavy computer users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specwise tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - LCDs are designed to look excellent at only one resolution, the native one.  Examine your apps/games and determine what resolution you want/need for this, and get an LCD that has that resolution as native&#xD;&#xA; - The higher the resolution the better, usually.&#xD;&#xA; - You want reasonably high response time, although sometimes these are reported incorrectly.&#xD;&#xA; - Some new ones have HDMI ports :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lest I make a brand preference, in the past these have been Samsungs.  When I picked up an LCD like 2 years ago for school, I got a Samsung as a) it was the cheapest there, and b) all the stores I went to used them for their POS terminals, they all took a beating and looked great, and c) the picture was very natural.  I figured I'd be getting the same quality, and that seemed to be the case.  After about 14mos of ownership, a 15lb hacksaw fell on top of it and cut a gouge into the bezel, and it's still okay.  I also must admit that I am very happy with my 23&quot; Acer at work, although the out-of-the-box color accuracy wasn't quite as nice and it needs a calibration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As usual YMMV." />

Yes, online is cheaper, but you need to get an idea of what the thing is going to be like when you look at it.  Admittedly, it might be hard to select one based upon the resolution of the video source in the store, but it's still worth it IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's some other tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you're using it for gaming, make sure you get something with good gamma correction/backlight.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're doing serious things with photography, keep color management in mind.  Perhaps even get a colorimeter like a Spyder to calibrate your LCD monitor.&#xD;&#xA; - If you're eyes aren't amazing, or they all seem to look the same after awhile, I suggest finding someone with good eyes.  In my case, I usually grab my mother (fashion designer, very picky about color and I/O devices, she uses fashion design software very heavily) and have her go with me when I shop.  I usually find that my mother picks out monitors that look amazing, last a long time.  But they are usually the most expensive at the store.  That said, no one ever complains about them in a family of 6 heavy computer users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specwise tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - LCDs are designed to look excellent at only one resolution, the native one.  Examine your apps/games and determine what resolution you want/need for this, and get an LCD that has that resolution as native&#xD;&#xA; - The higher the resolution the better, usually.&#xD;&#xA; - You want reasonably high response time, although sometimes these are reported incorrectly.&#xD;&#xA; - Some new ones have HDMI ports :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lest I make a brand preference, in the past these have been Samsungs.  When I picked up an LCD like 2 years ago for school, I got a Samsung as a) it was the cheapest (smallest, though) there, and b) all the stores I went to used them for their POS terminals, they all took a beating and looked great, and c) the picture was very natural.  I figured I'd be getting the same quality, and that seemed to be the case.  After about 14mos of ownership, a 15lb hacksaw fell on top of it and cut a gouge into the bezel, and it's still okay.  I also must admit that I am very happy with my 23&quot; Acer at work, although the out-of-the-box color accuracy wasn't quite as nice and it needs a calibration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As usual YMMV." />

As you probably know, Port 22 is the standard port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, some ISP's (possibly yours, but I have no facts to support this) will block the port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thusly, you have two options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Change the port used by your SSH Daemon to listen for incoming connections on a different and unblocked port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. If that's not possible, map a public port to port 22 on your router.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, all traffic on &lt;public port of your choosing&gt; is forward to port 22 on your Linux machine. This has the advantage of not changing your linux machine, and all you need to do is specify the new port when you're connecting away from home.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your modem may refer to 'port forwarding' as 'firewall', 'address translation' or 'virtual servers', or similar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use the ShieldsUp! feature at [Gibson Research Center][1] to perform a portscan of 22, and see if you've opened it.

This grouping of services allows for better control and easier debugging. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could read up some more at the **HowToGeek** page,    &#xD;&#xA;[**Svchost Viewer Shows Exactly What Each svchost.exe Instance is Doing**][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2009/02/02/svchost-viewer-shows-exactly-what-each-svchostexe-instance-is-doing/" />

You'll be able to run lots of apps concurrently with either 32-bit or 64-bit, but with the latter and lots of RAM, performance will be better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The previous answers have correctly stated that the amount of **usable** RAM (&quot;addressable memory&quot; in nerd-speak) is a key difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. It should be obvious that your can only run 64-bit code on a 64-bit processor. However, even an OS that is not &quot;fully&quot; 64-bit can run 64-bit processes. For example, OS X has added 64-bit support in stages with 10.4 and 10.5, and now 10.6 (&quot;Snow Leopard&quot;) pretty much everything from the kernel to the included applications are 64-bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as classifying operating systems based on 32/64-bit, it's actually somewhat of a false dichotomy. Windows ships separate 32/64-bit versions, but (for example) OS X ships as a single OS that can run in either mode. The reason Apple can do this is because they invested in [Rosetta][1] and also developed and promoted [universal binaries][2]. At first this was to make the PowerPC &amp;rarr; Intel transition work, but now they can also leverage the technology to bundle 32/64-bit binaries in the same application, and the OS can choose which to launch as necessary. Windows support is likely to be somewhat different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The vastly increased memory limits aren't really that important to end users (at least not now), but are critical for high-performance and memory-intensive applications. Even so, if a 64-bit machine and OS work for you, it's smart to buy with an eye to the future, because that's where computing is headed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Disclaimer: Nerdy details follow...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One low-level but important detail that has been left out is that the 64-bit Intel (nee AMD) architecture (aka &quot;x86_64&quot;) has a different CPU structure that adds some efficiency over the 32-bit architecture. There are twice as many &quot;program registers&quot;, which is basically wicked fast memory that the CPU can use to cache information, resulting in a performance gain. Also, 64-bit code and language runtimes can discard years of backward compatibility with 32-bit cruft and make some optimizations that were previously impossible, and ongoing compiler development will continue to increase the gap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(binary_translation_software)&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary" />

Similarly, when you delete messages in your Gmail Inbox, they disappear from your Outlook Inbox as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the Gmail IMAP integration with Outlook is not so smooth as POP3 access. Several users have complained that Outlook 2007 freezes (or becomes extremely slow) until the synchronization between Gmail server and Outlook data file is complete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are also frustrated with Outlook slowness, read some simple tweaks to help you improve the performance of Microsoft Outlook with Gmail IMAP:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open your Outlook Send and Receive groups*. Select the Gmail account that you have configured with Microsoft Outlook and now click Edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The next screen will have all the default Gmail labels (like All Mail, Trash, Inbox, Spam, etc) - For Spam and Trash folders, select “Download holders only”. For Inbox and Drafts, select “Download complete item including attachments.” Press OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This prevents Outlook from downloading mails and attachments that are marked as Spam by Gmail]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. You go back to the previous Send and Receive groups screen. Here adjust the time that Outlook should wait before checking for new email on Gmail server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sidenote: If you are a fan of Getting Things Done (David Allen), you should check your email only few times in a day to avoid distractions. Make that number 180 to sync Outlook and Gmail every 3 hours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. While the above tweak should solve most of your Microsoft Outlook problems, here’s one extra tip - Work Offline even while you are always connected to the Internet. [File -&gt; Work Offline]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can always configure Outlook to check for new mail frequently even while in Offline mode as show in Step 3 above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest advantage of working with Gmail IMAP and Offline Outlook is that your local Outlook commands (like Opening messages, Reply, Delete, Forward, etc) will be much faster because Outlook will not connect with Gmail servers before executing your command.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Quick Tip: If you want Microsoft Outlook to load the default Gmail Inbox folder during start-up, go to Tools -&gt; Options (Other) -&gt; Advanced Options and browse for your Gmail Inbox folder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*If the shortcut Alt + Ctrl + S doesn’t work in your version of Outlook, go to Tools -&gt; Send/Receive, Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1237378/gmail-imap-and-outlook-speeding-it-up&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/solutions-for-slow-gmail-imap-with-microsoft-outlook/1761/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/gmailoutlookdownload.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/outlooktime.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/offlinegmail.png" />

Similarly, when you delete messages in your Gmail Inbox, they disappear from your Outlook Inbox as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the Gmail IMAP integration with Outlook is not so smooth as POP3 access. Several users have complained that Outlook 2007 freezes (or becomes extremely slow) until the synchronization between Gmail server and Outlook data file is complete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are also frustrated with Outlook slowness, read some simple tweaks to help you improve the performance of Microsoft Outlook with Gmail IMAP:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open your Outlook Send and Receive groups*. Select the Gmail account that you have configured with Microsoft Outlook and now click Edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The next screen will have all the default Gmail labels (like All Mail, Trash, Inbox, Spam, etc) - For Spam and Trash folders, select “Download holders only”. For Inbox and Drafts, select “Download complete item including attachments.” Press OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This prevents Outlook from downloading mails and attachments that are marked as Spam by Gmail]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. You go back to the previous Send and Receive groups screen. Here adjust the time that Outlook should wait before checking for new email on Gmail server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sidenote: If you are a fan of Getting Things Done (David Allen), you should check your email only few times in a day to avoid distractions. Make that number 180 to sync Outlook and Gmail every 3 hours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. While the above tweak should solve most of your Microsoft Outlook problems, here’s one extra tip - Work Offline even while you are always connected to the Internet. [File -&gt; Work Offline]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can always configure Outlook to check for new mail frequently even while in Offline mode as show in Step 3 above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest advantage of working with Gmail IMAP and Offline Outlook is that your local Outlook commands (like Opening messages, Reply, Delete, Forward, etc) will be much faster because Outlook will not connect with Gmail servers before executing your command.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Quick Tip: If you want Microsoft Outlook to load the default Gmail Inbox folder during start-up, go to Tools -&gt; Options (Other) -&gt; Advanced Options and browse for your Gmail Inbox folder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*If the shortcut Alt + Ctrl + S doesn’t work in your version of Outlook, go to Tools -&gt; Send/Receive, Send/Receive Settings, and then click Define Send/Receive Groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.woodwardweb.com/technology/removing_old_mail_in_gmail.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.techf5.com/pic/gmail-archive-delete-message.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/solutions-for-slow-gmail-imap-with-microsoft-outlook/1761/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/gmailoutlookdownload.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/outlooktime.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.labnol.org/assets/images/GmailwithOutlook_12E20/offlinegmail.png" />

If you decide to remove the stickers, do it quickly. The stickers are not going to stay fresh for more than a year or two, depending upon its quality. If your laptop is a relic, skip to the very last step to use a chemical removal method.&#xD;&#xA;   2. **Decide which stickers to remove**. Some stickers are useful, such as OEM licensing stickers that will be voided when remove. Others may contain serial numbers, service tags, support information, or systems specifications. Commonly removed stickers include ones promoting the Windows operating system (ie: &quot;Designed for Windows XP&quot; and &quot;Windows Vista Capable&quot;),as well as Intel and AMD CPU stickers.&#xD;&#xA;   3. **Remember to do this slowly**. If you rush it and try to pull the whole thing off at once, you run the risk of tearing the sticker or separating the glue backing.&#xD;&#xA;   4. **Start from the edges**. Use your fingernails, a pair of tweezers, or a non-abrasive abrasive putty knife. Be careful not to scratch or damage any plastic or aluminum surfaces in the process.&#xD;&#xA;   5. **Pull the sticker up slowly** from the edge you just started. Try to pull it up using an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. Never bend the sticker back further than a 90 degree angle, as this will promote the separation of the glue backing and printed material.&#xD;&#xA;   6. **Clean the surface**. Some sticker residue may be rubbed off easily, while some require additional help. As always, avoid scratching the surface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;      1. First, try rubbing off the remaining residue by hand. Many forms of glue, even when mixed with a little paper, will curl up onto itself when moved over a surface.&#xD;&#xA;      2. Second, if rubbing doesn't help, try using duct tape or other very sticky tape to remove the remaining residue. Break or cut off a piece of tape, apply it to the surface, then remove it. Repeat this until all of the residue has been removed, and attached to the tape instead.&#xD;&#xA;      3. Third, if all previous attempts fail, use chemicals. A popular and extremely useful method is to use a citric-acid based cleaner such as &quot;Goo-Gone&quot;. These type of cleaners will not harm metal or harder plastics, but may dry the surface of softer plastics, leaving a white, frosted appearance. Test this on a small, hidden area first. Another liquid to try is alcohol. Another is WD-40 which won't hurt the surface and can be cleaned off the computer's surface with a dish rag and a little soap.&#xD;&#xA;   7. A product called &quot;Odor Assassin&quot; (Lemon-Lime Scent) that is available at most &quot;dollar&quot; and discount stores will dissolve most adhesives instantly and can be removed with a clean cotton face cloth.&#xD;&#xA;" />

You can switch between the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU (called &quot;Better Battery Life&quot;) and the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU (called &quot;Higher Performance&quot;), but you cannot use both GPU's at once in this implementation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apple's hybrid graphics technology is supported under the MacOS X operating system version 10.5.5 and higher only.  When running Microsoft's Windows XP™ or Microsoft's Windows Vista™ using Apple's Boot Camp, the system locks into higher performance mode which uses the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU for all graphics related tasks and can not be changed to use the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU for battery life mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information on Hybrid SLI technology, click here: [Hybrid SLI][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information on the Apple MacBook Pro featuring NVIDIA technology, click here: [Apple MacBook Pro][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore you have to be using Vista or Windows 7 to even be able to use it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Q:** Which OS supports Hybrid SLI?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A:** Hybrid SLI is supported only by Windows Vista.

If you want to safe battery life, I'm not sure switch GPU's is going to make an enormous difference either. So sorry, but I think it's impossible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's nVidia's take on the problem:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Question**&#xD;&#xA; 	&#xD;&#xA;Does the Apple Macbook Pro (Late 2008) support NVIDIA's Hybrid SLI® technology?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Answer**&#xD;&#xA; 	&#xD;&#xA;No.  NVIDIA Hybrid SLI technology for notebook computers allows a motherboard GPU and a discrete GPU to work together for extreme multi-GPU SLI performance when needed (called GeForce Boost mode), or use just a single GPU for low power consumption and long battery life (called Hybrid Power mode).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apple's Macbook Pro (Late 2008) does feature both the NVIDIA® GeForce®9400M motherboard GPU for everyday computing and the NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT discrete GPU for high graphics performance.  You can switch between the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU (called &quot;Better Battery Life&quot;) and the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU (called &quot;Higher Performance&quot;), but you cannot use both GPU's at once in this implementation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apple's hybrid graphics technology is supported under the MacOS X operating system version 10.5.5 and higher only.  When running Microsoft's Windows XP™ or Microsoft's Windows Vista™ using Apple's Boot Camp, the system locks into higher performance mode which uses the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU for all graphics related tasks and can not be changed to use the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU for battery life mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information on Hybrid SLI technology, click here: [Hybrid SLI][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information on the Apple MacBook Pro featuring NVIDIA technology, click here: [Apple MacBook Pro][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore you have to be using Vista or Windows 7 to even be able to use it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Q:** Which OS supports Hybrid SLI?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A:** Hybrid SLI is supported only by Windows Vista. It is currently not supported with any other operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Though Microsoft seems to think Hybrid SLI is a bad thing, because [Fudzilla claims][3] that it won't be supported for Windows 7.

You'll be able to run lots of apps concurrently with either 32-bit or 64-bit, but with the 64-bit and lots of RAM, performance will be better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The previous answers have correctly stated that the amount of **usable** RAM (&quot;addressable memory&quot; in nerd-speak) is a key difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. It should be obvious that your can only run 64-bit code on a 64-bit processor. However, even an OS that is not &quot;fully&quot; 64-bit can run 64-bit processes. For example, OS X has added 64-bit support in stages with 10.4 and 10.5, and now 10.6 (&quot;Snow Leopard&quot;) pretty much everything from the kernel to the included applications are 64-bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as classifying operating systems based on 32/64-bit, it's actually somewhat of a false dichotomy. Windows ships separate 32/64-bit versions, but (for example) OS X ships as a single OS that can run in either mode. The reason Apple can do this is because they invested in [Rosetta][1] and also developed and promoted [universal binaries][2]. At first this was to make the PowerPC &amp;rarr; Intel transition work, but now they can also leverage the technology to bundle 32/64-bit binaries in the same application, and the OS can choose which to launch as necessary. Windows support is likely to be somewhat different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The vastly increased memory limits aren't really that important to end users (at least not now), but are critical for high-performance and memory-intensive applications. Even so, if a 64-bit machine and OS work for you, it's smart to buy with an eye to the future, because that's where computing is headed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Disclaimer: Nerdy details follow...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One low-level but important detail that has been left out is that the 64-bit Intel (nee AMD) architecture (aka &quot;x86_64&quot;) has a different CPU structure that adds some efficiency over the 32-bit architecture. There are twice as many &quot;program registers&quot;, which is basically wicked fast memory that the CPU can use to cache information, resulting in a performance gain. Also, 64-bit code and language runtimes can discard years of backward compatibility with 32-bit cruft and make some optimizations that were previously impossible, and ongoing compiler development will continue to increase the gap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(binary_translation_software)&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary" />

I haven't used their service to send emails, but I am on a few lists of companies that use their services to send marketing material. I have used a trial of theirs to test it out (it was for a project, not for real uses). They let you send out HTML emails and surveys. I'm not sure what the pricing is for it though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.icontact.com" />

Many people do it themselves. If you are already receiving a marginal signal, a splitter might add enough signal loss to cause problems. If you have problems, I would suggest having your cable company install it for you. Most will do it for free (or possibly a small fee). They will have the right parts and be able to check the signal. If the signal strength is too low, they can often boost the incoming signal from the outside or provide the correct type of amplified splitter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are different types of splitters. Passive and active splitters, amplified splitters, different numbers of ports, and even splitters for different types of applications (TV only, high def, etc).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are going to do it yourself, here are a few hints that come to mind:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Test the speed of your un-split connection before you start. This is a good place to test your Internet speed: [SpeedTest.net][1]. Then test again after you split the signal.&#xD;&#xA; - Check your speed again the next day. I have heard splitters working for a short time after being disconnected and reconnected before problems reappear.&#xD;&#xA; - Check the lowest number cable channels. On many cable systems, those are the channels that are most likely to show interference. &#xD;&#xA; - Use a splitter with as few connections as possible (two way splitters will typically have the least signal loss).&#xD;&#xA; - Try not to daisy chain splitters (splitter attached to a splitter). If you need more ports, a four-way splitter is better than 3 two-way splitters. I've seen splitters with as many as 16 ports.&#xD;&#xA; - Use a new splitter with high-quality components. Splitters are being improved all the time. Don't dig something out of the bottom of your drawer and expect it to work as well as a new one.&#xD;&#xA; - Use a splitter specifically labeled for digital cable use (or, even better, digital Internet use).&#xD;&#xA; - Longer runs of coaxial cable have larger signal loss. If you have problems, try a shorter run. &#xD;&#xA; - If you have a loss of signal, try an amplified splitter. That may or may not boost the signal into the range required by your components.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.speedtest.net" />

With exchange it is possible to block the automatic forwarding of emails to external adresses (and it seems that your system administrators have done so). The reason it works for manual forwarding is that this is a very different process. It happens on the client, and for the server it looks like just sending any other email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for such configuration of the server is generally to prevent corporate information and secrets to be leaked out.

I would recommend using an external fan and piping the airflow to your CPU in the same way you vent a clothes dryer in the house.  In my particular case I modified the front of of the cpu case so that there were more places for air to pass through.  I drilled holes in front cover in an inconspicuous manner and then placed the grille over the front to minimize the visibility of my modifications.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the CPU I took the standard dryer duct and connected it to the back of my computer enclosure.  I oriented the fan so it is blowing air the same direction as the fan in the power supply.  Since you are using a duct, you can locate the fan somewhere where the noise will not bother you.  In my case I built a customized duct port that was the exact width of my open window.  Once you close the window on the output duct, all of the heat goes outside and the duct will pull sufficient air supply through the case to keep everything cool." />

I will also buy two Linksys wireless routers and set them up to bridge using DD-WRT.  One end of the bridge will go in the office, the other will be connected to the existing router.  This will give me my desired wireless/wired solution for about $150-200.  I'll post an update when/if I get it all working.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT again&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've looked more into the DD-WRT solution and it turns out that support for recent routers is kind of spotty.  Instead of blowing $200 on some hardware that might get bricked I'm going to get two new wireless routers.  The NETGEAR WPN824 is $60 at Best Buy and the v3 revision will act as a repeater.  Sadly, my old one is a v2 which does not include this feature so I'll donate that to my in-laws." />

I recently started experimenting with NetNewsWire after discovering that I was able to read my feeds on my iPhone and on the web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I've recently discovered a reader that has since piqued my interest: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Fever.](http://feedafever.com/styles/images/logo-small.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've read online reviews and watched the demo video, but it's hard to get a sense of whether or not Fever will mesh with the way I like to read news. So I have a few questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. What's the difference between &quot;kindling&quot; and &quot;sparks&quot;? The description on the page is somewhat unhelpful:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; Essential, must-read feeds are Kindling. Supplemental, low signal-to-noise feeds are Sparks. Sparks ignite Kindling raising the temperature of items and links that should not be missed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I get the tempreature metaphor, I just don't get how sparks &quot;ignite&quot; the kinding, or what kinds of feeds are better for kindling vs sparks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The RSS readers that I've liked have treated feeds like email and list all my undread items in one pane so that when I click on one it gets displayed in another pane. I suspect that I prefer this method to Google Reader because it allows me to have greater control over what is marked as read vs unread, as well as being able to easily skim the titles to see if there's anything that immediately piques my interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I know Fever is designed to try to float the most interesting/relevant news to the top, and I'm wondering how well it really works in practice. I'm also wondering how easy it is to mark items as read/unread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. How well does the iPhone client/Fluid client work, and how do they compare with NetNewsWire for the Mac and iPhone?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.

I used to prefer the pane method but after using Fever I've come around as the way Fever shows the feeds allows (felt like forcing at first) me to go through feeds much more quickly and to actually deal with them rather than let them pile up.  &#xD;&#xA;That said there are keyboard shortcuts to mark items as read and unread: &lt;kbd&gt;z&lt;/kbd&gt; will mark recently read items as unread. &lt;kbd&gt;a&lt;/kbd&gt; wil mark an entire feed as read.

Seems to be doing more of the same (checking inodes/sectors) - so many errors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Alright, so fsck in recovery mode (I used this before single user mode was suggested but it seems like they're kind of the same thing) fixed the problem after basically spamming the &quot;y&quot; button for a while.

I don't store form or password data in my browser. Once I got my profile set up on one, I copied it to the other. I only use a few extensions, so this translated very well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Email, Calendar, Contacts&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google Apps for my domain and for work. I use Mail.app (for PGP/GPG) on OSX and the WebUI for home. I use the WebUI on both for Google Calendar. I sync contacts with Google Sync on my iPhone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Development Tools&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm a sysadmin/operations programmer, so I need development tools. The main difficulty in translation here is that Windows lacks a true equivalent to iTerm (I don't like Terminal.app).

Adium uses libpurple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Music Playback&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This one is interesting. I listen to music shared from the HTPC in iTunes on my Macbook, and through Vista Media Center on the HTPC, so I don't actually play music directly on my Windows laptop. Since I have an iPhone that I sync with both systems, so I have iTunes on the Windows laptop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Photos&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again with Google Koolaid; I use Picasa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's about it that I can think of.

And it'll remain the same until software is rewritten to take advantage of multiple processor cores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I must say that the Intel Core i7 (Quad Core) is really nice in the fact that it is just plain fast. Especially with the memory controller on the CPU instead of somewhere else on the motherboard; this allows for things to run much faster and actually causes the hard drive to be the only bottleneck of the system. But even this cpu isn't fully utilized without proper multi-core software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It still seems (unless you are doing multi-core programming) it may be better to stick with a faster Dual Core, rather than getting a Quad Core. What I mean &quot;Faster&quot; is a Dual Core that has a faster clock speed per core than the Quad Core. However, the Intel Core i7 is a different architecture than the Core 2, so even the slowest Core i7 (the 920 at 2.6Ghz) is still faster than most of the Core 2 Duo's out there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you don't want to buy/build/rebuild a new PC, then one of the biggest things you could probably do today to improve performance with your Dual Core (more than getting a Quad Core) is to get a Solid State Drive to replace your Hard Drive. In almost every system the Hard Drive is the biggest performance bottleneck, and this will help it catch up to the CPU and Ram quite a bit. However, again, the Solid State Drives are still fairly expensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, if you have a decent Dual Core that suits your needs, I'd say keep it until a newer multi-core (Quad Core or larger) is more fully utilized by the software you use everyday. Especially since Quad Cores are available Today, buy in the next couple years we are likely to see 8 Cores, 16 Core or and eventually more, and maybe someday ALL of our software will more fully utilize them (I'm looking at you Visual Studio, Firefox and MS Office)." />

Windows XP upgrade editions were pretty painless. The installer would prompt you to insert a copy of a previous OS for disk verification, and that was pretty much it. Assuming you passed this stage, XP would then prompt you to drop the original install disk back in the tray, and it would push ahead with a clean install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This approach changed with Windows Vista, and not necessarily for the better. If you followed the official Microsoft approach, you were stuck installing Windows XP each time you wanted to format your PC. Once it verified that a qualifying OS was installed, only then could then upgrade to Vista. This hokey double install process was a terrible waste of time, and seemed like a pointless exercise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A known workaround now exists that will allow you to bypass this step, and it’s easier than you might think. **Simply insert your upgrade DVD, boot into the installer, and when prompted to enter your product key, simply refuse to do so**. After you click through all the warnings and pick the version you purchased, it would push ahead with the install. Your product key could then be easily entered later on once you were booted into the OS, and you could then activate using the normal process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is still unclear which of the two verification methods Microsoft will choose for Windows 7, but they haven’t given us indication that the newer Vista style approach would be changing.  If that’s true, you might want to keep the workaround mentioned in the previous question in mind as it will most likely work in Windows 7 as well. It’s also worth noting that in Vista, the clean install work around also saved your Product Key, allowing thousands of users who were unhappy with Vista to downgrade back to XP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/windows_7_upgrade_guide_all_your_questions_answered?page=0,1" />

You'll be able to run lots of apps concurrently with either 32-bit or 64-bit, but with the 64-bit and lots of RAM, performance will be better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The previous answers have correctly stated that the amount of **usable** RAM (&quot;addressable memory&quot; in nerd-speak) is a key difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. It should be obvious that your can only run 64-bit code on a 64-bit processor. However, even an OS that is not &quot;fully&quot; 64-bit can run 64-bit processes. For example, OS X has added 64-bit support in stages with 10.4 and 10.5, and now 10.6 (&quot;Snow Leopard&quot;) pretty much everything from the kernel to the included applications are 64-bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as classifying operating systems based on 32/64-bit, it's actually somewhat of a false dichotomy. Windows ships separate 32/64-bit versions, but (for example) OS X ships as a single OS that can run in either mode. The reason Apple can do this is because they invested in [Rosetta][1] and also developed and promoted [universal binaries][2]. At first this was to make the PowerPC &amp;rarr; Intel transition work, but now they can also leverage the technology to bundle 32/64-bit binaries in the same application, and the OS can choose which to launch as necessary. Windows support is likely to be somewhat different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The vastly increased memory limits aren't really that important to end users (at least not now), but are critical for high-performance and memory-intensive applications. Even so, if a 64-bit machine and OS work for you, it's smart to buy with an eye to the future, because that's where computing is headed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Disclaimer: Nerdy details follow...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One low-level but important detail that has been left out is that the 64-bit Intel (nee AMD) architecture (aka &quot;x86_64&quot;) has a different CPU structure that adds some efficiency over the 32-bit architecture. There are twice as many &quot;program registers&quot;, which is basically wicked fast memory that the CPU can use to cache information, resulting in a performance gain. Also, 64-bit code and language runtimes can discard years of backward compatibility with 32-bit cruft and make some new optimizations to code and execution pipelining that were previously impossible, and ongoing compiler development will continue to increase the gap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(binary_translation_software)&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary" />

The 32-bit versions of all the frameworks and libraries are of course still available, but running apps in both modes requires both stacks to be loaded, which is inefficient, and a big reason why Apple is strongly encouraging developers to get on the boat and build their apps with a 64-bit version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because the kernel in 10.5 is still 32-bit, the greater amount of addressable memory is achieved with some trickery. The exact details evade me at the moment, but it's safe to assume that under Leopard you can only address 4 GB or physical memory — I believe the 64-bit memory space spills over to virtual memory on disk, just like when 32-bit processes exceed the amount of installed RAM." />

So it turns out that I'll be keeping my old router around since WPA is more secure and I really don't want to go around to the myriad network-aware devices in my home and reconfigure them.  Note that you CAN run a wireless bridge AND access the wireless normally with the WPN824, I just chose not to do so.  So now I'm all set - I have wireless throughout my home and I have four available wired ports in my office, all for the low cost of $120.  The WPN824 supports a couple of repeater points so you can buy another one if you need some wired connections elsewhere in your home or business.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final chain is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[cable modem]** *&lt;-cable-&gt;* **[original non-bridged router]** *&lt;-cable-&gt;* **[new router, bridge base]** *&lt;-wireless-&gt;* **[new router, bridge repeater]** *&lt;-cables-&gt;* **[PCs in office]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_bridge&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices" />

Windows XP upgrade editions were pretty painless. The installer would prompt you to insert a copy of a previous OS for disk verification, and that was pretty much it. Assuming you passed this stage, XP would then prompt you to drop the original install disk back in the tray, and it would push ahead with a clean install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This approach changed with Windows Vista, and not necessarily for the better. If you followed the official Microsoft approach, you were stuck installing Windows XP each time you wanted to format your PC. Once it verified that a qualifying OS was installed, only then could then upgrade to Vista. This hokey double install process was a terrible waste of time, and seemed like a pointless exercise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A known workaround now exists that will allow you to bypass this step, and it’s easier than you might think. **Simply insert your upgrade DVD, boot into the installer, and when prompted to enter your product key, simply refuse to do so**. After you click through all the warnings and pick the version you purchased, it would push ahead with the install. Your product key could then be easily entered later on once you were booted into the OS, and you could then activate using the normal process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is still unclear which of the two verification methods Microsoft will choose for Windows 7, but they haven’t given us indication that the newer Vista style approach would be changing.  If that’s true, you might want to keep the workaround mentioned in the previous question in mind as it will most likely work in Windows 7 as well. It’s also worth noting that in Vista, the clean install work around also saved your Product Key, allowing thousands of users who were unhappy with Vista to downgrade back to XP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: [According to Anandtech.com][2] the DVD downloaded from MSDN is version specific, because it contains a file that says:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    [EditionID]&#xD;&#xA;    Ultimate&#xD;&#xA;    [Channel]&#xD;&#xA;    Retail&#xD;&#xA;    [VL]&#xD;&#xA;    0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Creating a new bootable disk without this file or installing from a USB stick would enable you to have a one universal Windows 7 installer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/windows_7_upgrade_guide_all_your_questions_answered?page=0,1&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=630" />

I mainly use the former and have few problems receiving a variety of Microsoft Word and Excel documents. In the past I have also used &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/koffice.php&quot;&gt;KOffice&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abisource.com/&quot;&gt;Abiword&lt;/a&gt; to handle a number of particular issues where they handled the conversion better, e.g. Microsoft Works and WordPerfect files. For the files I receive these exceptions are now rare and I no longer install these additional tools as a matter of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other considerations for compatibility:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.   **Macros.**&#xD;&#xA;As well as the formatting of imported documents you may also need to consider macro functionality. I would include with that functionality such as embedded documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.   **Platform.**&#xD;&#xA;Using an office suite on one platform (operating system and supporting tools) may produce different results from using it on another. This may be because of different frameworks on different platforms, different features supported on one platform than another or availability and support levels for some platforms. These factors affect all the suites, not just the free ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.   **Fonts.**&#xD;&#xA;Fonts are often an issue. Suites and platforms differ in their support and use of different font types, for example OpenType or Multiple Master PostScript. Fonts freely available with one office suite may have to be licensed for a suite on a different machine. Even on two machines where the different software is equally capable of handling the fonts, the fonts are available and have matching names their metrics may differ between versions and hence produce different output.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.   **Exporting.** &#xD;&#xA;Compatibility when importing Microsoft Office documents may be different from compatibility when exporting to Microsoft Office formats. Are you moving files one way or both?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5.    **File formats.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    (a)     Most file formats change over time in specification, practice or both. We have seen this recently with the developing support in the free suites for the XML-based formats such as docx. This can produce 'bumps' along the road to compatibility. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    (b)    As well as inferior support for new file formats there may be gaps in support for old formats. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    (c)    Some file formats have no free tools that use them, for example Microsoft Publisher files, so if you receive those you need to keep a copy of the software to hand unless the conversions provided by a convenient friend or by an online service such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zamzar.com/&quot;&gt;Zamzar&lt;/a&gt; work for the files you receive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6.   **Internationalization.**&#xD;&#xA;Support for this varies between office suites. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your workflow is likely to be personal to you. To decide on a free suite you may want to collect a broad coverage of the files you receive and send and divide them into two groups: ones where the exact format is important (e.g. they want you to print the file for them) and ones where it is not critical (e.g. you only need the content for information or it is an article for a magazine that you edit and hence you would change the format anyway). The first group can be tried in several free suites in a search for a convenient one (or two) that deliver the level of functionality required. The second group just needs reliable conversion so that no content is lost, there is indication of any critical formatting (perhaps italics, bold and large or coloured print; graphics shown in appropriate positions) and the documents are functionally correct (e.g. spreadsheets give correct results).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time you might at least be able to convince people who send text documents to separate content and style (I'll refrain from making a case for TeX, LaTeX or even OpenDoc but plain UTF-8 text and a PDF/X to show the layout, if it matters, would be a nice start), but I doubt that will come soon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I did have to throttle the bandwidth Mozy used to prevent it impacting the performance of other Internet applications (though most of these are mainly downloading data they do, of course, need uplink bandwidth to send commands and ACKS and there was a distinct drop in performance when Mozy filled the uplink bandwidth). Whilst I would be uncertain of the mechanism it could be that this network impact on other applications could cause sluggishness in applications that are not directly using the network (the link would be more obvious if Windows Explorer is slow accessing network-connected resources). So I would recommend trying Mozy with &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(a)   the current version (I am using 1.14.0.6 but the current version is, I think, 1.14.1.6).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(b)   icon overlays disabled, as suggested by others, (this setting, as with the next two is on the 'option' tab from 'configure')&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(c)   bandwidth throttled to, say, half the available uplink bandwidth (and remember that if you are using an asymmetric service such as ADSL this will be a _lot_ lower than the downlink bandwidth)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(d)   backup speed set to minimum (Mozy recommend three-quarters for typical use but a minimum setting should eliminate doubt).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and then see whether these change the performance of your system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A further test might be to suspend Mozy (right click on the system tray icon for this option).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Beyond that would need consideration of the whole system: operating system and other application versions and patches, other running processes, resource availability, virus/trojan/rootkit checks, benchmarking and so on. You don't say which operating system and hardware you have or what else you are running on it when Windows Explorer seems slow so I can't comment further." />

Since these two connections would be on logically different networks, the IP stack is smart enough to determine which interface it needs to be routed through.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that being said, some applications provide for a explicit method to select the network interface it will use.

You should be able to recognize all of the sites you are talking to.  If you find a site you are acessing that you do not recognize, then this is the time to look closer into what is going on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally speaking when you have a botnet on your machine it will reach out across the internet at some point and when it does be sure to notice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have identified the unauthorized traffic, you can usually see which program is attempting to make the connection.  This is where you go to proces explorer and here you will try to glean as much useful information as possible about the process.  Also be sure to take note when you terminate the suspicious process.  If you get the right process, the unauthorized communication across the wire should stop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next you go to filemon to make sure the malware has not opened another file in an attempt to keep itself alive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a cyclical process, but as you eliminate the programs one at a time, you will find your problem if there is one. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspx" />

KDE on the other hand seems to give users a lot more options. What's interesting is that if you're in any way comfortable with computers, it might end up being that KDE, with its more options, would seem easier for you since you have more possibilities in terms of customizing things to your liking, whereas on GNOME you might be wondering where or how you do a certain thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But yeah, I think the only difference is the ideology and goals of both projects, and whether or not they match your way of working or perception of using a computer. Nowadays, programs written with a particular Desktop Environment over another still seem to work fine on the other, so it really does seem to come down to personal preference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally have gone back and forth between the two, but I believe I've used KDE when I work as it feels a lot more versatile, in my particular experience of course. For simple browsing and computer usage, GNOME feels comfortable and easy." />

Now, when you rotate a TN, those vertical angles become horizontal angles and since your eyes look at the screen at slightly different horizontal angles, the monitor would look pretty bad. (I had a TN monitor mounted on a pivot arm and i basically had to look at the monitor at an angle to be able to read something in a portrait mode .. looking at the monitor straight on would give me a headache after a while since my right eye would see the monitor darker than my left eye. Looking at the monitor off center with the top of the monitor closer to you gives better viewing experience)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you have an MVA panel lcd (or even better, an IPS based one), portrait mode would look so much better so in this case, the question to your answer would be no. Basically ... it's the old saying - you get what you paid for. If you are going to buy monitors that you want to use in portrait mode, make sure you buy one with excellent vertical viewing angles (i.e. get an IPS or MVA based lcd panel).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This][1] site has brief description of the common lcd panel types if you are interested in reading more about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php" />

It's a very high pitch noise, load enough to make it easy to hear it. It had been doing this for a while. I thought that I would buy a new PSU and replace the current one, as soon as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I gave the computer to someone. When I had set it up I thought I'd change some BIOS settings:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. I turned on the feature which warns if the CPU temperature goes to high and I set it to shutdown the computer if it goes a fair bit higher than the warning. The temperatures (CPU etc) where at nice levels so it was simply a precaution for the future.&#xD;&#xA; 2. I turned on the feature which shutdowns the computer if a fan stops working. I suspect that this was a mistake.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After rebooting the computer only starts for 1-2 seconds and then shutdowns. I suspect that it's detecting a broken fan, most likely in the PSU.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure if the fan actually is broken, as the PSU is of the silent type which doesn't spin up the fan unless it's necessary. I can't remember if it always started the fan for a while when the power is turned on or not. At least now the fan isn't moving at all until the computer shuts down again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have some ideas on what to do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Buy a new compatible PSU and plug it in. Since the current one is making that high pitch noise it's most likely at the end of its life anyway. So even if it's not the cause of the computer not booting it's not a waste of money. Still, the computer did work even though the PSU was making a noise. On the other hand, if the PSU breaks it might take other components with it when it goes which would make the ordeal even more expensive.&#xD;&#xA; - Reset the BIOS somehow. I can't get into the BIOS menu as the computer shuts down before that. I *think* there are two pins on the motherboard I can connect together to reset the BIOS, but I have to check the manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What do you think I should do?" />

I found lots of Google evidence of people trying to do this kind of thing and getting nowhere. I'm sure there's a way, and I'd love to see Applescript from someone which really does redirect the selected message to a hard-coded address, under Leopard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*But I digress.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I got hold of a copy of [Mail Act-On][1] which isn't free (but it's hardly expensive). It allows you to set-up manual keyboard activation of rules. Which rules get processed is up to you, and you can quite quickly (like, within 2 minutes of installing) figure out how it works. I set it up so that I had a new 'keyboard' rule such that when I pressed Ctrl-N the selected email was immediately redirected to a hard-coded address (that of my colleague). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perfect!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What's even sweeter about this is that it's a doddle to set-up more of these - so now I can have similar hard-coded redirects and activities for several different people/types of email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html" />

They are switched at very high frequencies and they generate a powerful magnetic field (that's how they couple energy from one side of the transformer to the other).  That powerful magnetic field is essentially a big electromagnet, so any ferromagnetic material in the vicinity will be pulled towards the transformer and pushed away from the transformer thousands of times a second.  Most things are soldered down, but some things (like the windings of the transformer themselves) can have a little play, so they move back and forth at the switching frequency (or a harmonic or sub-harmonic of the switching frequency).  This is the most common source of physical noise, and it can be modulated by the load on the CPU (as the current draw from the CPU changes, the magnetic field intensity and duty cycle changes)." />

They are switched at very high frequencies and they generate a powerful magnetic field (that's how they couple energy from one side of the transformer to the other).  That powerful magnetic field is essentially a big electromagnet, so any ferromagnetic material in the vicinity will be pulled towards the transformer and pushed away from the transformer thousands of times a second.  Most things are soldered down, but some things (like the windings of the transformer themselves) can have a little play, so they move back and forth at the switching frequency (or a harmonic or sub-harmonic of the switching frequency).  This is the most common source of physical noise, and it can be modulated by the load on the CPU (as the current draw from the CPU changes, the magnetic field intensity and duty cycle changes).  However the most common source of this kind of noise in this environment is the transformers (sometimes called inverters) used to create the high voltages for the backlight of LCD monitors and TVs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this seems to be a popular topic, I'll add a note on the other big source of noise in PCs.  The noise discussed above is produced mechanically, you can hear it without any soundcards or speakers.  If you're talking about noise you hear through your speakers, there's another source.  CPUs and GPUs use 10s of amps of current from the power supplies, and that current varies depending on what the CPU/GPU is doing.  The power supplies typically use the same ground return (usually a copper ground plane layer in the motherboard PCB) that all the other chips (including audio) use.  Ohm's law says Voltage (V) = current (I) times resistance (R).  An ideal ground plane (made of an ideal conductor) would be zero ohms from any point to any other point, so even 100A of current wouldn't generate a voltage (100 A * 0 ohms = 0 V).  But a real-world copper ground plane has some resistance, say 0.010 ohms from one end to the other.  So if the CPU current switches between 30A and 10A, the voltage across the ground plane may vary from 0.3V to 0.1V.  This means that the ground the audio IC is relying on to &quot;stay still&quot; is actually moving up and down by 200mV.  That makes the audio output of the IC jump up and down by up to 200mV.  Which you hear as noise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a very, very simplified example - people have written books about this topic.  I'm just trying to convey the basic mechanism." />

You can get a list of all partitions on the disk with `fdisk -l /dev/sdd`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You're filesystem type is probably ext3 (the default in most Linux distros), which means it will usually pass an fsck as long its journal is clean. `fsck -f` will, as mentioned above, force a full check.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you have read errors on the disk, no amount of fsck will help dd - since dd really doesn't care about the content of the disk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get dd to read the disk and continue on read errors, use `dd conv=noerror,sync`, which will continue on read errors and append null bytes to any block when there is a read error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After you have finished the backup, you should run `fsck -f ` on the clone to get it up and running again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another tip: If you backup the partition to a file, you can loopback mount it with `mount -o loop filename.ext3 /mountpoint`. Also, say you are cloning a 200G partition to a 500G drive, you can then run `resize2fs /dev/sdx1` (where sdx is your new drive, partitioned with a single 500G partition), and the filesystem will be resized to 500G.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, if the disk is in such a shape that it's giving you read errors, I would advise you to avoid turning the disk off and on until you're finished recovering data. In some failure modes, the disk will at some point simply no longer spin up or fail to be recognized by the OS, and at that point getting data out of the drive becomes quite expensive." />

Before that, you could try to hit Esc to stop any memory test, to *maybe* allow you to get into the BIOS setup after all. But I assume you've tried that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you ever get into the BIOS again, you'll probably find some screen that shows the current fan speeds. If none claims to be zero, then maybe the BIOS did not find a faulty fan after all, and this is just some bug, like responding to some fans that are not present at all. I think you cannot be sure that a fan in the PSU is indeed not working at all. Save the money for a new PSU; first try to get your computer to boot again!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you find that manual, then maybe you can also find connectors on your motherboard for additional fans. If you cannot reset the BIOS (which, however, should be possible I guess), then attaching a fan to any non-used connectors may help your computer boot. You could also make sure that the attached fans are actually connected using all pins on the connector. (To measure the actual speed some feedback is required, which I assume needs more than just two wires for the power source.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I actually doubted the BIOS would know the speed of any fan inside the PSU. But I stand corrected: a comment from [Nikhil][1] states that a PSU may be connected to the motherboard to tell it about the fan speed (and temperature?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT 2**: I happened to see a link to [How to Reset Your BIOS][2] at [Overclocked too far - computer will not boot][3] here on SU.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/users/8/nikhil-chelliah&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://superuser.com/questions/17452/overclocked-too-far-computer-will-not-boot/17453#17453" />

While we were waiting for the files to get moved we watched a movie, so then he closed the lid which made the computer go into sleep, and that almost got ugly, but it still managed to transfer all files when it woke up (it was extra scary because he didn't copy the files, he cut them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I think it would be good if Windows had some protection against doing stuff like that when files are moving." />

Text="The most common audible noise coming from computers (besides fan noise, of course) is from the transformers used in the power supplies.  They are switched at very high frequencies and they generate a powerful magnetic field (that's how they couple energy from one side of the transformer to the other).  That powerful magnetic field is essentially a big electromagnet, so any ferromagnetic material in the vicinity will be pulled towards the transformer and pushed away from the transformer thousands of times a second.  Most things are soldered down, but some things (like the windings of the transformer themselves) can have a little play, so they move back and forth at the switching frequency (or a harmonic or sub-harmonic of the switching frequency).  This is the most common source of physical noise, and it can be modulated by the load on the CPU (as the current draw from the CPU changes, the magnetic field intensity and duty cycle changes).  However the most common source of this kind of noise in this environment is the transformers (sometimes called inverters) used to create the high voltages for the backlight of LCD monitors and TVs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this seems to be a popular topic, I'll add a note on the other big source of noise in PCs.  The noise discussed above is produced mechanically, you can hear it without any soundcards or speakers.  If you're talking about noise you hear through your speakers, there's another source.  CPUs and GPUs use 10s of amps of current from the power supplies, and that current varies depending on what the CPU/GPU is doing.  The power supplies typically use the same ground return (usually a copper ground plane layer in the motherboard PCB) that all the other chips (including audio) use.  Ohm's law says Voltage (V) = current (I) times resistance (R).  An ideal ground plane (made of an ideal conductor) would be zero ohms from any point to any other point, so even 100A of current wouldn't generate a voltage (100 A * 0 ohms = 0 V).  But a real-world copper ground plane has some resistance, say 0.010 ohms from one end to the other.  So if the CPU current switches between 30A and 10A, the voltage across the ground plane may vary between 0.3V and 0.1V.  This means that the ground the audio IC is relying on to &quot;stay still&quot; is actually moving up and down by 200mV.  That makes the audio output of the IC jump up and down by up to 200mV (depending on what the processor is doing).  Which you hear as noise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a very, very simplified example - people have written books about this topic.  I'm just trying to convey the basic mechanism." />

This goes for most print servers - unless the print server specifically and clearly states that it will share a scanner over IP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The printer needs to be connected to the computer, because the computer provides some of the processing power and information needed to complete tasks like printing and scanning.

If you're not willing to purchase the software (or it simply doesn't do what you want) you don't have any other options to share a scanner, except for buying a device that supports network based scanning, such as a HP OfficeJet. Unfortunately, those can run you a fair whack of money.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's no easy way to do this.

The reason for its inclusion must be to improve cooling but I couldn't help but notice a quite powerful airstream leaving the fan in the area of the baffle. This isn't the first time I've seen the baffle fitted so just out of interest I removed it and ran the power supply at full load for over two hours and the only difference I observed was a reduction in fan noise, temperature difference was negligable. This is just an observation and I don't advise anybody attempting to remove or run the power supply without the baffle, the designers must have their reasons for its inclusion, even if I can't find it!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless you are an overclocker or heavy-user, such things should not matter.  &#xD;&#xA;Corsair PSUs are well built and do not need any tempering. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_tx750w_r/2.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_tx750w_r/2.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://compactiongames.about.com/od/hardware/ig/Build-Your-Own-Gaming-PC/Installing-Power-Supply--2.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.overclockersclub.com/siteimages/articles/corsair_tx750w_r/grill_side_psu_thumb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.overclockersclub.com/siteimages/articles/corsair_tx750w_r/fan_side_psu_thumb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_tx750w_r/6.htm" />

First you can turn off ipv6 in your browser. I only know how to do this in Firefox, but I'm sure it can be done in other browsers. Second, you can comment out all lines in */etc/hosts* that refer to ipv6. It's not clear to me that these two tweaks give any huge benefit, but I'll mention how to do each. For Firefox, you can disable ipv6 support by opening a window and entering 'about:config' in the address bar. Then search for ipv6 and set the `network.dns.disableIPv6` option to `true` by double clicking on it. (It's a boolean and set to `false` by default, so you can switch its state easily.) For */etc/hosts*, open that file in your favorite editor (you'll need superuser privileges to edit it), and put a `#` at the start of all the lines that refer to ipv6.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Links (some of these links offer methods that are slight variants on the two I give above; I stuck them in for added ideas):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-how-to-disable-the-ipv6-protocol.html&#xD;&#xA; - http://linux.com/community/blogs/disable-ipv6-on-debian-lenny-quick-howto.html&#xD;&#xA; - http://www.karkomaonline.com/index.php/2009/04/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-debian/&#xD;&#xA; - http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/409&#xD;&#xA; - http://beranger.org/index.php?article=1127&amp;page=3k" />

The dropdown lists a lot of choices, unfortunately I don't know which one to pick (and I suspect I'll have to try all the Canon types at some point), and the custom dialog asks me for port number, and 9100 doesn't work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I pick the Generic network card (default type in the combo), then it asks me to pick the make and model of printer.

Create a folder called &quot;Network Shares&quot; or somewhere in your user directory or possibly in a shared directory. Drag this directory to the finder sidebar under Places.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;B. Do the following for each share that you want to connect to routinely:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Use Command-K from finder to mount the shared volume. This should add the server under shared in the finder sidebar&#xD;&#xA; 2. Go to System Preferences -&gt; Acoounts (Under System), select your account and open the login items tab.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Click the plus button under login items and navigate to the share that you want to connect to.&#xD;&#xA; 4.  This gets a little tricky here. For some reason, you cannot create an alias in finder (Command-Option Click and drag) to network shares, you can do this to any directory under the network share, but not the share itself, so if you want the share itself accessible as an alias, you have to use the terminal to create a symlink which is essentially the same thing. If you need to do the symlink thing here are the steps.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Make sure that the share is mounted.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Open terminal.&#xD;&#xA; 7. Navigate tothe folder you created, Network Shares (if you created this folder directly under your home folder the command is cd ~/&quot;Network Shares&quot;/.&#xD;&#xA; 8. create the symlink :ln -s /Volumes/&quot;Share Name&quot; &quot;Name of alias file&quot; (the quotes aren't necessary if there are no spaces in the file name.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What you end up with is a folder full of aliases that point to all the shares you access frequently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " />

When running in Protected Mode, IE7 is a low integrity process; it cannot gain write access to files and registry keys outside of a user profile's folder. This feature aims to mitigate problems whereby newly-discovered flaws in the browser (or in Add-Ons hosted inside it) allowed hackers to subversively install software on the user's computer (typically spyware).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_7" />

Its called XP mode and allows for the hosting of XP for legacy application compatability. I dont think VM's keep you safer unless the VM has no access to other machines on the network without being challenged for user name and passwords first. Even then, an infection could wait undetected until such time as you invariably reach out and touch another share.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You would need to ensure that access to the VM was from more secure zone to the less secure VM and not the other way around. Also, setup the VM to be very aggressive in anti-virus setup. I recommend McAfree Enterprise, setup the usual real-time scanning plus access protection. Also, download Chrome or Safari and use these, their integration to Windows is far less extensive than IE's and so they present a smaller attack footprint, albeit with less functionality. I recommend Safari, I prefer the industrial interface over Chromes Fisher and Price look and feel, both are based on WebKit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

For a cheaper version you could just forward RDP directly to their computer - but running RDP over the internet without adding some sort of better security isn't exactly recommended.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For antivirus I've started using the beta of Microsoft Security Essentials (Morro) which seems nice and non-disturbing enough so far.

I'd try to bring the wireless interface down manually (cnetworkmanager -w false) before suspending, then bringing it up manually afterwards (cnetworkmanager -w true). (note, you can also use the networkmanager applet to do this).

I have a Samsung T220HD LCD with integrated speakers. When I connect it to my video card via VGA cable, the speakers works fine. But, I recently bought an DVI to HDMI cable, (my video card has dvi outputs too). When I connect the HDMI to DVI cable, the speakers don't work. I used to connect my monitor speakers to the audio card via one jack cable. But I repeat, this works only on VGA. I tried also an jack wich finishes in two analog cables. I connected the jack to my sound card, and the analog inputs (Left and Right) to my monitor audio-in. Still no sound.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, is there a solution to make my monitor speakers work on a DVI to HDMI connection? Thanks." />

You can be sloppy with your gestures thus you can perform them very fast.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The latter extension is inspired by Acrobat Reader and lets you drag the webpages with your mouse or touchpad. Especially useful for longer pages because it doesn't cramp your middle finger as scrolling with the wheel would do. You can use flicker gestures (a short flick of a mouse movement instead of a pgup/pgdn button) and momentum scrolling (start to pull the page, then let it go and watch the page as it keeps scrolling).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These extensions are very useful IMHO because using a browser is mouse-oriented (efficiently navigating a webpage with keyboard is greatly inefficient), so why don't give more power to your mouse? The only downside is that you'll start to use it in other programs as well even, if it clearly doesn't work. And in Flash animations neither the grabbing nor the gestures work, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;ps. as these addons might not provide visible improvement to the ui, they really increase your productivity and do not forget that the navigation is part of the ui&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;ps2.

See e.g. this Comodo Forum thread, &quot;[Is&#xD;&#xA;the firewall component &quot;Windows 7&quot; friendly?][1]&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I have another suggestion to fix or lessen your problem.&#xD;&#xA;I have a fast Internet connection now, but not so long ago&#xD;&#xA;it was only 50 kbps. Here is what I did to greatly speed up&#xD;&#xA;Internet browsing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The anti-virus program I am using is Avast. It can be set to&#xD;&#xA;display URLs currently being accessed in the lower right of&#xD;&#xA;the screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The general idea is to block access to content that is&#xD;&#xA;really not needed, e.g. PNG/GIF/JPEG images, JavaScripts and&#xD;&#xA;cookies from advertisement sites and from tracking sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sites that are to be blocked are added to the &quot;hosts&quot; file&#xD;&#xA;(located in folder &quot;C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts&quot; in my&#xD;&#xA;system) and directed to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can download very long lists for this purpose, but the&#xD;&#xA;sheer number of sites to block may slow down browsing. I use&#xD;&#xA;another approach, only blocking those that the browser&#xD;&#xA;connects to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Procedure:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. While opening a web-page a URL is spotted that is not&#xD;&#xA;     necessary. E.g.:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    http://adtech.panthercustomer.com/images/485/Ad199114St1Sz256Sq2945366VOId3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. Press the PrintScreen key to make a screenshot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. Open Microsoft Paint and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. Open the &quot;hosts&quot; file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad)&#xD;&#xA;     and type off from the Paint window to a new separate&#xD;&#xA;     line:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;       127.0.0.1    adtech.panthercustomer.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  5. Save the &quot;hosts&quot; file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  6. That's it. Repeat for every (or only some) unnessary&#xD;&#xA;     URLs you observe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another, slightly more convenient, way to get the sites to&#xD;&#xA;block is to let the browser ask every time a cookie is&#xD;&#xA;attempted to be fetched. The ones that need to fetched can&#xD;&#xA;be set to always be accepted so the browser will not ask&#xD;&#xA;again, whereas the others will be blocked by the hosts file&#xD;&#xA;(and the browser will never see them again).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There may be easier ways to find the sites to block than&#xD;&#xA;described here, but the general idea is the same.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a sample of sites I have blocked:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ad.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       googleads.g.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ad.uk.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       pubads.g.doubleclick.net&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       m.se.2mdn.net&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       adserver.adtech.de&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       track.adform.net&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       cls.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       wms.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       ws.assoc-amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;    127.0.0.1       rcm-images.amazon.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://forums.comodo.com/firewall_help/new_private_network_detected-t32857.0.html;prev_next=prev&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

The services were getting called, but my network wasn't being configured till I logged into GDM. This had a cascading effect on anything that expected a configured network. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I filed a [bug-report](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/411331) on Ubuntu Launchpad, and looking at some other bug reports helped me understand what was happening with my system. The solution was:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I've figured out why the network was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configured on my other Ubuntu system,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and am consequently able to do the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; same on this system: &quot;Available to all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; users&quot; option was selected on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; default connection in the Network&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Manager applet. This enabled the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; system to configure the network even&#xD;&#xA;&gt; though I'm not logged in through GDM.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I've verified that the network gets&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configured on this system too when the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; option is turned on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; On a side note, it would be nice if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; available networks could be detected&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and configured via console in a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; similar manner to how the Network&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Manager applet behaves. I guess that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; now my network is auto-configured so I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can turn off GDM during boot and still&#xD;&#xA;&gt; remotely connect to the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was basically expecting the pre-configured wi-fi connection to work on console mode, but it turned out that wasn't a valid expectation. Networks configured through the Network Manager applet from within GNOME take effect only when the same user logs into GDM, or if &quot;Available to all users&quot; is selected on the connection.

I will assume in your case you do not need to worry about the logic to keep the thing dialed up, so I will skip right to the next part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;the first thing you need to do is create a resolvable Fuly Qualified Domain Name that is resolvable on the internet.  You can do this if you run your own DNS server or you can use a free service like DynDNS to create a static, but resolvable name you will use to get to your webserver. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have selected your domain name and have a valid DNS entry to resolve it then next step is to install the DynDNS update service on your webserver which will update your DNS entry dynamically when your IP changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next step is to build your webserver.  I have used both IIS and Apache succesfully in this scenario.  Whichever server you use is a matter of personal preference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After all that is complete, you will need to make sure that your router/firewall is configured to port forward to your webserver inside your network.  I recommend forwarding port 80 which will make the site accessible to everyone who types the FQDN into their browser.  If you want to keep this server private, you might consider putting the webserver on another port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[DynDNS Services Page][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.dyndns.com/images/site/tango/dyndns.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://dyndns.org" />

The NTFS are among the first four as MBR needs them to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did this partitioning via Disk Utility, and then used Winclone to copy my Boot Camp partition to the NTFS partition on the external drive. The cloning went fine, the files are there, but the Windows partition does not appear to be bootable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**I tried using rEFIt**, by keeping it on another partition on the external drive and booting from it, but that was **to no avail**. I still got a &quot;No bootable device…&quot; message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **only way that I was able to boot from the external drive was by keeping a minimal Windows installation on a partition in the internal drive**.

It does not rely on sheep (aka Passengers) to actually listen and turn off their phones (as noted by Paul L in another answer).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The FAA is severely uptight about airplane safety and security!  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) Using a Blackberry as an example, put it next to a telephone (Old IBM ROLM PBX phones are REALLY vulnerable to this) and send yourself an email.  You will soon hear some crazy interference, off the HUNG UP phone!  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some laptops experience this as well.  Leave your BB sitting next to it, and as certain data packets come in, the laptop speakers make some odd noises, even when muted.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So clearly there really is a possibility of interference.

I just ran it for 300 copies, no cases, no inserts, black text on the DVDs and got back $1.39 per DVD + shipping. They have a lot of standard options (inserts, cases, etc). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've never needed to make a bunch of DVDs, but I've at least heard of these guys before, and their web site indicates they do want to do business with small runs like this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I just did a quick search for bulk DVDs and found one price of about $0.60 per disc (for 300), plus shipping (DVD-Rs - I don't know what brands are good, that one was just cheap). So at the quoted rate from Diskmakers, you would be paying $0.79 per DVD for duplication and printing on the disc surface. That would give you a nicer finish than hand-duplicated DVDs, and eliminate the time and trouble of doing it yourself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only downside would be that you'd have to come up with the $417 + shipping all at once instead of being able to duplicate one at a time as needed. Diskmakers does do smaller lots, and at only 100 discs, the same job is just $1.49 per disc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basically, for small runs, doing it yourself probably can't be the most cost effective way, unless the size of your run needs to be on the order of 5 or 10 discs. At the hundreds of discs level, you probably want to leave the work to someone with the right gear for the job.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.discmakers.com/selfservicequoter/default.aspx" />

Text="A simple issue. I have several GMail accounts which I want to use in Outlook 2007. Two of them are personal accounts and the others are for business relations. Normally, I'd just use the web interface but my new computer came with Outlook 2007 so I decided to use it. However, I just don't like to walk through the same dialog screens over and over again. I'm a software engineer, laziness is a requirement for that job! (Believe me, it is a requirement! Do exactly what needs to be done, nothing more!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, is there a simple way to use e.g. a commandline script that could do this for me without having to go through several screens? Ike, simply use these commands, create this object in VBScript, call that method with these values as parameters and you're done? :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(That way, if I have to clean this system again, I have a simple method to add those accounts again.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Be aware that I want to set them up as IMAP folders, not POP3!*&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;To clear up after reading a few comments:&#xD;&#xA;1) I don't want a faster solution for a one-time use, but I need one that could be repeated over and over again. That way, I could just save the script file for when I re-install Windows or Office again. (Or when I also want to install Office inside a virtual machine.)&#xD;&#xA;2) At this moment, I have about 11 accounts. Two for personal usage and 9 related to companies where I've registered to whom I've subscribed for newsletters. (And whom I suspect of being related to spammers.) For example, I happen to use one account for my HP printer registration. Those nine accounts are barely used, although they do seem to collect a fair amount of spam for whatever dark reasons. (I suspect that certain companies are a bit careless with personal information of their users.)&#xD;&#xA;3) The &quot;Add account&quot; wizard of Outlook is really annoying since it tries to auto-detect the account type and it selects POP3 as account type. I want IMAP, not POP3. So I need to manually provide the information for every new account. This is just a repetitive job and as software engineer I just happen to hate it when I have to repeat something. It's less efficient in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not looking for a faster solution but for something more efficient. Something which I could use in the future, again and again and again... Doesn't have to be GMail-specific either. Something that would allow me to set up the 50-+ email accounts from my own webhost would be nice too, although that one only supports POP3. IMAP is more complex, therefore, the GMail account as basis..." />

To determine the gain value for use with this, you can use the [mp3gain][2] (windows only) tool which should give you a sufficiently higher volume level, without any clipping or level-induced distortion on the part of the file.

They are usually highlighted in blue and are located to the mid-right of each of whatever the normal character is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if I, for example, wanted to brighten my laptop screen I would hold Fn + ↑, as the alternate function for the ↑ key is a sun with a second arrow pointing upward, if I wanted to dim the screen, I would hit Fn + ↓, as the corresponding blue function key is pointing down.  There are some laptops where the bright/dim keys are located in slightly different areas, but it shouldn't be too hard to locate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a related side note: Some laptops, like the one that I own (Dell Inspiron 1525) have actually managed to include the entire numeric keypad that are often used to preform quick mathematical tasks in programs like Calc.exe.  On my keyboard, it starts towards the bottom with M - ? (0, .(decimal point) and +) and proceeds up and to the left, all the way up to 7 - 0 (7, 8, 9, and /)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It can be quite interesting to find out some of the lesser know features that have managed to make it into the keyboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: I would have included a few more links to clear things up a bit, but I'm stuck with a new user status." />

Mac OS X will append a `-#` after the name of a hard drive if multiple drives of that name are mounted. (eg. `/Volumes/NAME_OF_DRIVE-1` and `/Volumes/NAME_OF_DRIVE-2`, etc.) This will also occur if a folder exists in `/Volumes/` by that same name. Even though the mount point has a different name the name of the drive will show correctly in the Finder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An example of what can cause an erroneous folder:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A script or application that writes a file to `/Volumes/ExternalDrive/somefile.txt` or even an application that when checking if a file exists (eg. open last saved document) creates a new document at that location when the hard drive/network share/USB key/etc. is not mounted. The file will exists at `/Volumes/ExternalDrive/somefile.txt` meaning the folder `/Volumes/ExternalDrive` will exist when you next mount.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fixing this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - Ensure all drives have been unmounted - use Disk Utility or `diskutil list` to be sure&#xD;&#xA;  - Check to see what can be seen in `/Volumes/` - recommended to use the Terminal and use `ls -laF /Volumes`. There should only be one folder (`NAME_OF_STARTUP_DRIVE -&gt; /`)&#xD;&#xA;  - Delete the remaining folders. (I'd recommend checking the contents first)" />

However, there is another, more elegant way to tweak &quot;swappiness&quot;, or how aggressively the kernel swaps programs out to disk in systems running the 2.6 kernels. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There have been heated debates on the linux kernel mailing lists about the policy the kernel should follow regarding [swapping behaviour](http://lwn.net/Articles/83588/). The upshot is that we now have a [patch](http://kerneltrap.org/node/1044) in 2.6 kernels that lets us tweak this behaviour to a large extent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that you need root privileges to do this, as you would to run the swapoff/swapon commands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current value of &quot;swappiness&quot; can be inspected in the **/proc/sys/vm/swappiness** file, or by running this **sysctl** command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    sudo sysctl vm.swappiness&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*The &quot;swappiness&quot; values can range from 0 (no swapping) to 100 (swap to disk as much as* possible).

To take Ubuntu as an example (purely because it is the most popular distro at the moment), the path from Intrepid to Jaunty hasn't been terribly smooth for everyone. There have been showstopper issues like the one with the Intel drivers, and it's common practice for related forums to have a sticky list of [known bugs and workarounds](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145967). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Imho, these issues are inevitable given how distros are trying to package a huge bunch of disparate open source products, around 90% of which are maintained by volunteers. Yes, a large number of issues are driver-related, but the list isn't exclusively comprised of them. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These issues are however inimical to the uptake of linux distros by the average computer user who wants his or her OS to be *invisible*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All it takes is one or two issues that the user cannot resolve for them to turn away. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the issue of components breaking during upgrades is not one to go away, atleast in the near term, we need a way to enable users to downgrade &quot;the system&quot; when any upgrade causes a problem. By this I mean when any installation or upgrade done through the approved channels in the distro: In Ubuntu, this would include the Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, Add/Remove Applications, apt-get command, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A lot of work has gone into package maintenance utilities on all distros, including the emergence of excellent GUIs, *but no distro I know of shows a history of package installations and upgrades, let alone an option to revert an install*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**I think Linux distros badly need a tool to let users recover from a bad upgrade with a lot less fuss than currently required.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

There are 2 different ways to hibernate (suspend-to-disk) on linux:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **swswap**, which is included in the kernel&#xD;&#xA; 2. [**tuxonice**](http://www.tuxonice.net/) (formerly suspend2), which is not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Tuxonice is available as a patch to the kernel, and will let you write the suspend image to an ordinary file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TuxOnIce):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    TuxOnIce (formerly known as Suspend2) is an implementation of the suspend-to-disk (or hibernate) feature which is available as patches for the 2.6 Linux kernel. It was formerly known as 'swsusp'. During the 2.5 kernel era, Pavel Machek forked the original out-of-tree version of swsusp (then at approximately beta 10) and got it merged into the vanilla kernel, while development continued in the swsusp/Suspend2/TuxOnIce line. TuxOnIce includes support for SMP, highmem and preemption. Its major advantages over swsusp are:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        * It has an extensible architecture that allows for arbitrary transformations on the image and arbitrary backends for writing the image;&#xD;&#xA;        * It prepares the image and allocates storage prior to doing any storage and accounts for memory and storage usage very carefully, thereby becoming more reliable;&#xD;&#xA;        * Its current modules for writing the image have been designed for speed, combining asynchronous I/O, multithreading and readahead with LZF compression in its default configuration to read and write the image as fast as hardware is able;&#xD;&#xA;        * It has an active community supporting it via a wiki, mailing lists and irc channel (see the TuxOnIce website);&#xD;&#xA;        * It is more flexible and configurable (via a /sys/power/tuxonice interface);&#xD;&#xA;        * Whereas the current swsusp (and uswsusp) implementations support writing the image to one swap device only, TuxOnIce supports multiple devices in any combination of swap files and swap partitions. It can also write the image to an ordinary file, thereby avoiding potential race issues in freeing memory when preparing to suspend.&#xD;&#xA;        * It supports encryption by various methods;&#xD;&#xA;        * It can store a full image of memory (resulting in a more responsive system post-resume), while uswsusp and swsusp write at most half the amount of RAM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since it's not included in the default kernel, you'd unfortunately have to pick up the  [kernel patches](http://www.tuxonice.net/downloads/) available for Jaunty and compile the kernel yourself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are some extended instructions [here](http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-tuxonice-in-ubuntu.html), but you might want to try out Robert's suggestion before wandering down this road, unless you are an old hand at rolling your own kernel images.&#xD;&#xA;" />

The kernel does this to save time in the next busy period - if the data is already copied there it can just release the RAM it is using instead of having to do disk writes first. So unless you _know_ the machine is not going to need to swap again in the near future, forcing the freeing of swap space may achieve nothing except to slow things down a little more next time swapping is needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is managed on a delete-on-write basis, so if the copy in RAM is updated the blocks in swap will be released.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the swap space is needed for something else, which it won't be at the moment as you have plenty free, it will of course be released for that use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can't see how much data is in this state (of being both in disk-based pages in swap areas, and in RAM) in the output from `free`. You can see it via the `/proc` special filesystem though. Look at the output of `cat /proc/meminfo' for the `SwapCached` count.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another two reasons for there to be swap in use when there is apparently spare memory are&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - when under heavy I/O load the kernel has decided that pages that haven't been used for ages is better swapped out so it can use the RAM for cache/buffers, though looking at your `free` output that is probably not the case here as you have a chunk of truly unallocated RAM as well as that used by IO cache/buffers.&#xD;&#xA; - the pages were swapped out for some reason earlier, and just hasn't been needed again since - perhaps it is memory in use by a process that has been inactive for some time. In this case releasing the swap (so loading the pages back into RAM) may improve the response time of that process next time it is needed to do something other than sleep, but if it has been inactive for some time already it might not be needed at any time in the near future anyway." />

The kernel does this to save time in the next busy period - if the data is already copied there it can just release the RAM it is using instead of having to do disk writes first. So unless you _know_ the machine is not going to need to swap again in the near future, forcing the freeing of swap space may achieve nothing except to slow things down a little more next time swapping is needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is managed on a delete-on-write basis, so if the copy in RAM is updated the blocks in swap will be released.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the swap space is needed for something else, which it won't be at the moment as you have plenty free, it will of course be released for that use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can't see how much data is in this state (of being both in disk-based pages in swap areas, and in RAM) in the output from `free`. You can see it via the `/proc` special filesystem though. Look at the output of `cat /proc/meminfo` for the `SwapCached` count.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another two reasons for there to be swap in use when there is apparently spare memory are&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - when under heavy I/O load the kernel has decided that pages that haven't been used for ages is better swapped out so it can use the RAM for cache/buffers, though looking at your `free` output that is probably not the case here as you have a chunk of truly unallocated RAM as well as that used by IO cache/buffers.&#xD;&#xA; - the pages were swapped out for some reason earlier, and just hasn't been needed again since - perhaps it is memory in use by a process that has been inactive for some time. In this case releasing the swap (so loading the pages back into RAM) may improve the response time of that process next time it is needed to do something other than sleep, but if it has been inactive for some time already it might not be needed at any time in the near future anyway." />

Of course not.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason are (and this pretty much applies to all on-line polls other than those done by polling organisations on an invite basis):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) The group you're polling is self selected.  Not everyone will have chosen to vote therefore the opinion of those in the middle ground are either missed or under representated as those with extreme opinions are more likely to vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) It will have an intrinsic bias based on the site doing the poll (as in the above example).  A site might appeal to those with a particular view or just to a particular demographic who are not representative of the world as a whole.  Which leads to...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) The results won't be weighted to make it representative of the whole group in question.  So if your website is popular among men but you're interested in opinion of the population as a whole you need to balance that so the votes of men represent only 50% of the whole.  How is that achieved in an on-line poll?  Simply it isn't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Essentially on-line polls will tell you nothing you can rely on.  If they are right it's as likely to be luck as anything else." />

For example questions with a negative encouragement: &quot;Would you consider Linux even if it's complicated to install?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Essentially on-line polls will tell you nothing you can rely on.

With this added functionality, you can log on to a Windows Server 2003-based server that is running Terminal Services remotely and interact with session 0 as if you were sitting at the physical console of the computer. This session can also be shadowed so that the remote user and the local user at the physical console can see and interact with the same session.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So basically, it connects you to the current, running local session on the server (session 0, usually displayed on a monitor) and can **let the remote and local user see and interact with the same session**." />

This has a corollary of...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2)limiting the user's viewable options, something anathema to geeks. Joe doesn't care if he has *five* different editors for text. He's happy with Word 97. He doesn't *want* non-WYSIWIG options. WYSIWIG was great for Joe. It helped make the computer usable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3)All-GUI ability. Joe does not want to *see* the command-line. The command-line is scary. It doesn't accept error. Joe is happy never typing on the command-line. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4)A centralized help system. Believe it or not, googling for 2 hours to figure out why a program won't work is not fun. Not for a superuser, and *never* for Joe. Joe wants a centralized place where people won't say RTFM! and CLI!, but will help. He'd prefer someone to call up, truth be told. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5)Simplicity. This ties in with limiting options. Joe doesn't care about having options; he wants the computer to work. Joe doesn't care about installing drivers, recompiling kernels, or even knowing what a kernel *is*. Joe wants his computer to be as complex in the interface as his car. Cars have a wheel, 2 pedals, and a stick. There's a gas gauge, a milage gauge, and a speed gauge. Joe likes that. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6)Bugless software that Joe cares about. Apache is an indian tribe, gcc is another TLA, a kernel is on corn. The reliability of those programs is orthogonal to Joe's interests. Joe wants a browser, maybe a email program(more and more doubtful these days), an IM client(maybe), a working printer. If Joe is a notch up, he might want USB keys, a digital camera with an easy interface, and maybe Quake or WoW. All those things need to install in a hands-off fashion. &quot;click install and have a beer&quot; is all the interaction that should happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7)Not to blather on about ideological issues. Joe likes free beer. Joe does not talk philosophy, and thinks white-collar workers and professors have their head in the clouds and to be rather foolish, all in all. Open Source is quite meaningless to Joe - among other things, he doesn't know what the Source is. He doesn't know why people should give away their work. Joe knows Microsoft is a solid company that's been around and doesn't try to push an agenda. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So Joe chooses Microsoft. Or Apple. Typically Microsoft, because more programs run on it. I think a major principle that could learned from Joe is *people don't want to be smart for their computer*. Configurability is really overrated to the Joes of the world. They just want it to work, and keep working, and not to have to muck with it or drag it into the repair shop, because their letter to Aunt Gemina is there, and(if they are a bit more enthusiastic)their financial records.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Personally, at this moment in time, I trust Linux not one whit with peripherals and drivers. As far as I have experienced, Linux is great with network cards...and that's *it*. I'd rather hire some budding sysadmin on campus to install/configure a Linux computer for my *home*, and I'm actually quite comfortable in the dev environment of Linux. I even have my own long beard.... ;-)" />

The most pronounced problem has been that it now takes somewhere between 15 and 20 **minutes** to go into hibernate, when it always used to take 30-60 seconds.  I've mostly responded by uninstalling programs and shutting things down, and that has had limited success.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yesterday, I finally ran the ATTO Disk Benchmark program on the machine, and the results were stunning.  My read speeds were normal -- they roughly matched my co-worker's nearly-identical laptop's results.  My write speeds are so bad (literally about 1% of normal performance for small blocks, and maxing out at about 8 MB/s for larger blocks), I don't know how this computer is even working.  This is best explained with pictures, so see the screenshots below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good laptop (for comparison only):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem machine:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hard drive is not the original one; it's a 320 gig WDC WD3200BEVT that I upgraded to last fall.  After the initial upgrade, my machine had been running at approximately unchanged speed for about 6 months, and I haven't directly changed any drivers or settings on the SATA controller or the hard drive itself, so I don't think it's a direct result of my changing the hard drive.  Write caching is enabled on the drive, and always has been, except for the 20 minutes yesterday when I turned it off to see if it helped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, my questions: do you think I'm correct to surmise that the HDD write problem is the root cause of all my problems?  E.g., that it's reason that hibernating takes forever now?  Has anyone seen this kind of mismatch between read and write performance on a hard drive before? Could this be something like the write cache physically burning out, but not killing the hard drive completely?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm reluctant to simply buy a new hard drive when I don't know that it would fix the problem.  My default &quot;solution&quot; is to start the process of shelving this machine, and moving over to an extra one we have lying around (and incidentally moving over to Windows 7...), but of course, I have a *lot* of install/config time invested in this machine, so I would like to be able to fix it if I can.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.pitadeveloper.com/blog/image.axd?picture=2009/8/atto_good_machine.PNG&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.pitadeveloper.com/blog/image.axd?picture=2009/8/atto_bad_machine.PNG" />

You may be able to use an XML transformation language like [XSLT][3] to add in the appropriate style declaration where it belongs.

Be careful though, messing with the underlying XML is considered dangerous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may also want to look out for a more systematic error. It sounds like you have content already, and you want to apply a certain kind of formatting for it. Pages may not be the best tool for what you want to do. Instead consider other options for storing and manipulating the data you have. XML or another hierarchical format would work best. That way you can store your content demarcated for each piece: `&lt;Title&gt; &lt;Comment&gt;` etc. You can then use something to translate this content to a desired style, if you went with XML, you'd use XSLT. Using XSLT, you could translate it to RTF, HTML, or just about anything. If you went with HTML, for instance, you could easily apply a CSS to manage your styles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2006/Jan/msg00363.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17880/mac-iwork-pages-automation&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/" />

The most pronounced problem has been that it now takes somewhere between 15 and 20 **minutes** to go into hibernate, when it always used to take 30-60 seconds.  I've mostly responded by uninstalling programs and shutting things down, and that has had limited success.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yesterday, I finally ran the ATTO Disk Benchmark program on the machine, and the results were stunning.  My read speeds were normal -- they roughly matched my co-worker's nearly-identical laptop's results.  My write speeds are so bad (literally about 1% of normal performance for small blocks, and maxing out at about 8 MB/s for larger blocks), I don't know how this computer is even working.  This is best explained with pictures, so see the screenshots below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good laptop (for comparison only):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem machine:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hard drive is not the original one; it's a 320 gig WDC WD3200BEVT that I upgraded to last fall.  After the initial upgrade, my machine had been running at approximately unchanged speed for about 6 months, and I haven't directly changed any drivers or settings on the SATA controller or the hard drive itself, so I don't think it's a direct result of my changing the hard drive.  Write caching is enabled on the drive, and always has been, except for the 20 minutes yesterday when I turned it off to see if it helped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, my questions: do you think I'm correct to surmise that the HDD write problem is the root cause of all my problems?  E.g., that it's reason that hibernating takes forever now?  Has anyone seen this kind of mismatch between read and write performance on a hard drive before? Could this be something like the write cache physically burning out, but not killing the hard drive completely?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm reluctant to simply buy a new hard drive when I don't know that it would fix the problem.  My default &quot;solution&quot; is to start the process of shelving this machine, and moving over to an extra one we have lying around (and incidentally moving over to Windows 7...), but of course, I have a *lot* of install/config time invested in this machine, so I would like to be able to fix it if I can.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** I should add, the system has crashed (i.e., been &quot;turned off&quot; without going through &quot;Shut Down&quot;) roughly 20-30 times over the last few months.  Most of these happened as I was struggling with a failing battery, and when the battery got low enough, the system would *try* to go into hibernate, but the battery would run out before the 20-minute hibernate process would succeed.  This can't be the *original* cause of the problem, since it started happening repeatedly *after* the hibernate problem started, but I don't have any way of knowing whether it's gotten progressively worse because of the crashes.  Other times, the whole system has frozen solid after coming back from Sleep mode, and had to be turned off via the power switched.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.pitadeveloper.com/blog/image.axd?picture=2009/8/atto_good_machine.PNG&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.pitadeveloper.com/blog/image.axd?picture=2009/8/atto_bad_machine.PNG" />

The PC has to support booting from a USB flash drive. There may be anywhere from 1-3 items to change in the BIOS to make this possible assuming your BIOS supports it. Some bios's may refer to your flash drive as a USB floppy or USB zip.&#xD;&#xA;2. The USB flash drive must support booting from it in general.&#xD;&#xA;3. The flash drive must contain the boot/system files.&#xD;&#xA;4. The flash drive must have bootsector area. This is done with special utilities. &#xD;&#xA;5. References to &quot;A:&quot; drive lines in the autoexec.bat and/or config.sys files you copy to the drive after you make it bootable may result in errors. &#xD;&#xA;6. You &quot;may&quot; have to format your floppy disk first in WinXP before you create a bootdisk as XP may &quot;not&quot; like working later on with a disk formatted otherwise. &#xD;&#xA;7. Included below is a bootable ISO of DOS 7.1 which may be used with some of these methods if you do not have a 1.44 drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Make your flash drive bootable using&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Bart's mkbt util:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ | Alt:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mkbt20.zip&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Put a bootable floppy disk in your A:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drive or create one using Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Download mkbt20.zip and unpack to to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new temp folder you create. Go to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; temp folder. Extract the bootsector&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from the bootable floppy disk. eg Open&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a DOS Window and go to the directory&#xD;&#xA;&gt; where you extracted MKBT. Type:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; mkbt -c a: bootsect.bin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The boot sectors from the bootable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; floppy disk have just been saved to a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file in the temp folder you created.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Format the flash drive in FAT or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAT16.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Copy the bootsector to the flash&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drive. Open a DOS Window and go to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder where you extracted MKBT. Type:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; mkbt -x bootsect.bin Z:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Z&quot; represents the flash drive drive&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Letter. So if your flash drive has&#xD;&#xA;&gt; another drive letter, then change the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Z&quot; accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Now you can [grin] &quot;should&quot; be able to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; copy the utils you need to the pen drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are more methods over at the source if this one doesn't work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm" />

If this is true, stop reading now and enjoy your life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OTOH, if this really is your pet peeve, and it's driving you crazy, and you really absolutely desperately wanna gonna smack this problem, here's my idea of how to go about it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Get a copy of [Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment](http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Environment-Addison-Wesley-Professional-Computing/dp/0321525949/ref=dp_cp_ob_b_title_1) by W. Richard Stevens. &#xD;&#xA; 2. Read the chapters on [Streams](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STREAMS) and Terminal I/O. &#xD;&#xA; 3. Download the [source code](http://www.kohala.com/start/apue.html) to the aforementioned book, which includes an example of a stream that can be layered onto a terminal.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Implement your handling for the Esc key combination (or both mode change keypresses), and indicate it via a bell or background manipulation of the current line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In brief, Unix implements terminal I/O as a full-duplex I/O stream between the device driver and the user process, into which modules can be inserted. It is organized as a stack, so you can layer as many streams as you want. The sum of the injected streams creates your terminal I/O behaviour. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When a character is entered, the first module gets to inspect it and pass it on (if it wants to). When the response arrives in the opposite direction, it again gets a chance to inspect and pass it on. This is how a Ctrl-C gets handled at a higher level to a normal character key. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can create a binary implementing a stream module, that when invoked runs silently in the foreground, inspecting and passing on all keystrokes, performing your preferred action on the keystrokes you care about. For all intents and purposes, it'll appear as if you're working on the shell. Oooh.

You will usually find them to be a fraction of the expected output of after-market cartridges. There are very few (if any?) cheaper printers on the market which come fitted with cartridges containing more than 50% the normal amount of ink or toner, 33% isn't uncommon, and I'm sure you'll find less somewhere if you look. This is true of laser printers as well as inkjets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So factor this into your decision: if paying $40 gets you a new printer and $40 gets you a new set or cartridges, you will probably get more than twice the output from the new carts as you would the new printer with its part-full carts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, this doesn't take into account the chance of the old printer failing before you've used all the new ink. But if you are buying a cheap printer the chance of the new one failing is probably no better!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally I find my laser to be much better value for money, and the output much quicker and higher quality, but my output is higher than yours. If a set of ink carts that come with a cheap printer last you a full year then a laser probably isn't going to be any more economical for you then the 'jet unless it lasts many years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider: what do you actually use the printer for? My parents no longer use an inkjet for printing off photos because it actually works out far cheaper [once you factor in ink, fancy paper, reprints due to the printer needing a head clean, and so on] to take a memory card into Boots, Asdo or Tesco next time they go shopping, and have some photos printed there. You might find a cheap B/W laser (for letters, business printing, and draft printing) and using such services (or their online equivalent) for photo output a better option then running an inkjet printer." />

Add up that $40-$60 you paid for the printer plus the amount of electric it uses just sitting there idle (many printers have a external brick these days, so unless you unplug the brick, yes it's using power). Figure out the actual amount you paid per page. Compare to how much it would have cost you to do those prints at Kinkos. You probably saved money, and you certainly won on convenience, but make sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the thing: for very low print volumes, you need to be careful the ink carts aren't going to dry out on you. If you're getting 1-1.5 years out of the starter carts, then it's likely a real one would last 3 years. At which point you run a real (though still small) risk of the cart drying out, or the printer breaking due to disuse. This makes the entire investment worthless. With an outside print service, you probably pay more per page, but there's no chance you'll be out extra money along the way.&#xD;&#xA;" />

The presence of the user affects many scheduling and user notification decisions that need to be made and as such, the data obtained about the user would need to be readable by a scripting engine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I am looking for:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Better to accidentally presume the user is in his chair when he is not.  If the method of detection is not accurate, it must err on the side of the user being in the chair when he/she is not.&#xD;&#xA; - Identifying whether the person sitting in the chair in front of the computer is indeed the user that is logged in.  This needs to happen without the user explicitly authenticating/identifying.  As such, it will not be used for security or privacy related features as it may fail at times.&#xD;&#xA; - A method of broadcasting what chairs are being occupied (and by whom) to other members of an intranet.  A way of managing inventory, tying chairs to computers would be ideal.&#xD;&#xA; - Mac, Linux and Windows support for the solution :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some possible methods that COULD exist out there in the world (but in practice, are not easy to configure and set up):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Monitor inputs with short timeout period.  When timeout is reached, broadcast empty chair message.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Add a sitting weight test to the chair which transmits the result to the workstation.  If the weight is within a 5lb range of the user's known weight, it presumes the correct user is sitting in front of the machine.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Add motion camera support.  Photograph an empty workstation scenario and compare the current image capture to that of the empty, testing the delta with a known threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:** This is not for employer/employee tracking. It is to allow a user to take part of their workstation user interface with them on their smartphones or portable devices when they leave their desks.  Determining where the user is at a given time allows the updates to be sent to the proper device. Consider it an optimization of the signal to noise ratio of notifications.  The goal is to avoid sending the notifications to unmanned desktops/the wrong user." />

I've also got several computers that I'd like to have the whole library on - a desktop, media box, a laptop here or there, etc.  In short, it would be nice to be able to sync all these machines with each other such that they all have the same stack of files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A Version Control system, as opposed to an rsync/robocopy lashup, in the rough sense seems like the way to go.  First, there are several OSs involved (Windows, Mac, Linux flavors).  Second, it would be nice if when ID3 tags and such are updated, the system could just update the file delta, not re-copy the whole file.  (Finally, being able to update the library over the internet, rather than the lan, would be very cool.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But your classic CVS/SVN system has the obvious drawback of needing a full repository to work, and I'd really rather not have two copies of my 60gb+ MP3 folder sitting on a machine somewhere, as well as not traditionally dealing with binary deltas very well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, Distributed Version Control starts sounding pretty good at this point.

The precise stage at which it freezes varies slightly but it always succeeds in causing the problem. Completely uninstalling\reinstalling the VI 3 Client makes no difference and upgrading to the VI 4 Client makes no appreciable difference; the lockup timing is different but it still occurs.

So how can we do the same in Firefox?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, how do you find which extension is **hogging** those resources and **freezing** the app? If it's a script (js, XUL?) that's killing it, how could I trace it? Maybe an extension that shows the currently running script/XUL process/subprocess/whatever - then when a freeze occurs, the name of the process would be frozen with it? What about tracing the **memory usage** from each extension?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I definitely do not feel like restarting Firefox disabling extensions one by one, especially since the freezes start to occur after Firefox has been running for some time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://beerpla.net/2009/04/11/essential-firefox-extensions-plugins-add-ons-and-tips-a-comprehensive-guide-part-1-tips/" />

The only solution I've found is on [Apple's discussion site][2] where someone realised that replacing some system files from 10.5.8 with their counterparts from 10.5.7 fixes the problems. The steps necessary depend on if you have a Time Machine backup from the machine when 10.5.7 was installed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firstly, if you have **no Time Machine backup from 10.5.7**:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**edit**: I should note that replacing system kexts like this, while unlikely to cause any problems, is *highly* unsupported. The safest way is to do an Archive &amp; Install from your install discs and update only to 10.5.7 until Apple release an official fix for the bug. blah blah disclaimer etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. Download [10.5.7 Combo Update][3] &#xD;&#xA;  2. Download [Pacifist][4] (the demo will do). This allows you to extract and install files from the 10.5.7 .pkg&#xD;&#xA;  3.

However, ffmpeg is a great companion. I find that converting AVIs to mpeg with ffmeg, then doing the splitting with mpgtx is the quickest means to get the job done. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See the man pages for mpgtx and ffmpeg (as well as its online help page [http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html][1] ) for more information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html" />

He also mentions that you could use GIMP to create the Arabic text, just copy+paste it to Photoshop and you should be done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's what [Yaman says it does][3]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have had difficulties typing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arabic text into Photoshop, I have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; created a Google Code project to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; develop an open-source script that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will provide a solution:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arabic4MacPhotoshop. The Photoshop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Script that I wrote will enable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Photoshop users to create properly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shaped Arabic text in Photoshop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; graphics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Currently, Arabic text in Photoshop on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mac appears as disconnected characters&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in backwards-order (pictured to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; right). My script, which does not work&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in all cases and may require some&#xD;&#xA;&gt; additional fiddling on the part of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user, will automatically convert&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arabic text you have entered into&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Photoshop into legible Arabic script.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It will automatically remove all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; diacritic marks from your text and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; create individual text layers for each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; marking, so that you can position them&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the correct spot above the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; appropriate letter. Unfortunately, I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; don’t know of any simple way to avoid&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this extra step for the time being.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ![alt text][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What this script does is evaluate&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arabic characters to determine what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the correct shape should be, whether&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it is at the beginning, middle, or end&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of a word, and what the preceding&#xD;&#xA;&gt; character is. It then converts the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Unicode representation in memory to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the one for the specific ligature&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather than the base character. It&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will then create a new Text Layer with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the “fixed” text, as well as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; additional layers for any diacritic&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mark (fatha, domma, kasra, shaddeh,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; etcetera). If you wish to edit your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; text after this point, you must repeat&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the process and edit the original,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; disconnected, backwards text, rather&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than the “fixed” text. Otherwise you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will run into problems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; While this script does not solve all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; issues, it provides an alternative fix&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for probably an overwhelming amount of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arabic work that needs to be done in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Photoshop. One solution for Mac&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Photoshop users is this $1,700&#xD;&#xA;&gt; modified application which supposedly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; has completely integrated Arabic&#xD;&#xA;&gt; functionality as well as other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; features. I have never used this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; program since it is more expensive&#xD;&#xA;&gt; even than the original Photoshop. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other option is to use the free and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; open-source program the GIMP, which&#xD;&#xA;&gt; works on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; fully supports Arabic text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.abisource.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://code.google.com/p/arabic-mac-photoshop/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.yamansalahi.com/2008/06/15/code/arabic-in-photoshop-cs3-in-mac-os-x/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.yamansalahi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/arabic-photoshop-broken.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.yamansalahi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/arabic-photoshop-fixed.jpg" />

If the receiver has their mobile phone turned off or has otherwise lost signal (e.g. they're in a subway tunnel), is there a guarantee in the SMS protocol that the message will be re-transmitted when a device is detected in range again?  Or, would any re-transmission be device- and/or carrier-specific?  If there is re-transmission, do carriers &quot;give up&quot; attempted delivery at some point?  If so, when?  If message delivery fails, does the sender get notified or has the message gone to the great big /dev/null in the sky?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Clearly, millions and millions of teenagers are relying on this protocol every day, but it feels to me that SMS is about as reliable as a smoke signal.

The ink started running low so I bought to new carts for around $60 if I recall.  The printer then stopped working so I replaced the carts with the new ones but the head was dead on the black which was not worth repairing.  I bought a new HP printer for $49.  This lasted around 1.5yrs and then the ink ran out, I went to buy new carts and the guy at the store got me to buy a new printer (that was smaller, faster, higher dpi, etc) and it was cheaper than replacing the ink.  When the ink ran out on that one I bought a new printer again, etc.  The printer gets used maybe once a week at most and I never print photos or anything.  It normally is jsut stored away unplugged accumulating dust.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;People say to buy a laser printer but they are much larger, do not print color, (in the price range I am looking at) and might have the exact same issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem I see is the manufacturer is making my behaviour possible by selling new printers at a loss hoping that they will cash in on the ink later.

This generated few questions in my mind when i thought about it:- &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.) I recall that there is some relation between the Core Voltage applied(V), the clock frequency(f) of a processor and power consumed(P) as something like P is directly proportional to the voltage and frequency squared. But is the exact relation. Given  operating clock Frequency, voltage of a processor, how can we calculate power consumed by it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.) Now if i get the power consumed from step 1.) at some clock frequency, and i am told that the decoder solution i am giving, can consume only 50 milli-watts, how can i get the maximum limit on MCPS, which will be the upper bound on the MCPS of my decoder solution running on that hardware board?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Can i deduce that if power obtained as in step 1.)  say P, is consumed at frequency F, so for 50 milli-watts power, what is clock frequency frequency and calculate accordingly the frequency. And then call this frequency as my code MHz (MCPS) upper bound?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basically how does one map(is there any equation) power consumed by a software to MCPS consumed&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you.&#xD;&#xA;-AD." />

I'd also like for the itunes home directory to exist in each user's user directory on the server (to minimize 6 disparate copies of music across the network). For both of these, I believe I need to use something called a &quot;Group Policy&quot; in order to enforce this, but am not sure the best way to approach this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How can I most effectively accomplish this task?&#xD;&#xA;" />

You can use tools to create MST files (MS Installer Transform files) these tell the Windows Installer to follow the MSIs instructions but with differences that you specify. You'd then use a command line like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    msiexec /i \\servername\share\path\skype.msi TRANSFORM=\\servername\share\path\mycompanysconfig.mst /qn&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a lot of MSI Transform creators on the market from people like Altiris, Symantec, Acresso, and so on.

This is *the* big draw of the Mac Pro approach as Parallels is simply wonderful and virtualizing client environments seems to be such a massive win.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My quandary at the moment, and maybe someone can help, is whether to go for the single CPU Mac Pro which I can afford the upgrade to 2.93Ghz on but is limited to 12Gb RAM, or the slower double CPUs which is memory expandable up to 32Gb.  Unfortunately upgrading the processors on the dual cpus is beyond my price range (another £1000 for 2.66 and £2000 for the 2.93 ones).  I'm inclined to go for the dual cpus on the basis that using Parallels will take advantage of them, but I'd appreciate comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Incidentally my development set-up also includes two dedicated servers - a Windows 2003 server which sores critical backups on RAID, runs my local web server and MSSQL Server, and a Ubuntu server box which runs another local development web server and MYSQL Server." />

In this state, it cannot be woken up by signals, hence the process cannot be terminated using the SIGKILL signal. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My limited understanding of what happens is this: &#xD;&#xA;The CPU scheduler in the kernel maintains a run queue which is the list of processes that are ready to run. When a process gets the CPU, it either &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Utilizes it's time slice fully and gets scheduled out, or &#xD;&#xA; 2. It needs to wait for the response of an operation, typically I/O, and requests to be transferred to the sleep queue, waiting on the event. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Processes that schedule out due to #2 also indicate to the scheduler if they should be interrupted or not while they are waiting on the event. When they cannot continue proper   operation if interrupted by a signal (typically device drivers), they'll indicate that they should be woken up only by the event. These are in uninterruptible sleep state, and will get moved to the sleep queue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are experiencing regular freezing of the system due to disk sleep, it could be one of &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Buggy device driver&#xD;&#xA; - Faults on your hardware (Disk drive?)&#xD;&#xA; - Mounted filesystems that are slow to respond.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen this time and again with NFS file systems. If for some reason the device response is lost the process will remain in sleep state, making it almost impossible to use the mount/device till a reboot. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you think it's your hard disk access causing the I/O freezes, it might be prudent to check if there are bad blocks or sectors on the drive.

Ease of use. This has a corollary of...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. limiting the user's viewable options, something anathema to geeks. Joe doesn't care if he has **five** different editors for text. He's happy with Word 97. He doesn't *want* non-WYSIWIG options. WYSIWIG was great for Joe. It helped make the computer usable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. All-GUI ability. Joe does not want to *see* the command-line. The command-line is scary. It doesn't accept error. Joe is happy never typing on the command-line. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. A centralized help system. Believe it or not, googling for 2 hours to figure out why a program won't work is not fun. Not for a superuser, and *never* for Joe. Joe wants a centralized place where people won't say RTFM! and CLI!, but will help. He'd prefer someone to call up, truth be told. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Simplicity. This ties in with limiting options. Joe doesn't care about having options; he wants the computer to work. Joe doesn't care about installing drivers, recompiling kernels, or even knowing what a kernel *is*. Joe wants his computer to be as complex in the interface as his car. Cars have a wheel, 2 pedals, and a stick. There's a gas gauge, a milage gauge, and a speed gauge. Joe likes that. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Bugless software that Joe cares about. Apache is an indian tribe, gcc is another TLA, a kernel is on corn. The reliability of those programs is orthogonal to Joe's interests. Joe wants a browser, maybe a email program(more and more doubtful these days), an IM client(maybe), a working printer. If Joe is a notch up, he might want USB keys, a digital camera with an easy interface, and maybe Quake or WoW. All those things need to install in a hands-off fashion. &quot;click install and have a beer&quot; is all the interaction that should happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. Not to blather on about ideological issues. Joe likes free beer. Joe does not talk philosophy, and thinks white-collar workers and professors have their head in the clouds and to be rather foolish, all in all. Open Source is quite meaningless to Joe - among other things, he doesn't know what the Source is. He doesn't know why people should give away their work. Joe knows Microsoft is a solid company that's been around and doesn't try to push an agenda. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So Joe chooses Microsoft. Or Apple. Typically Microsoft, because more programs run on it. I think a major principle that could learned from Joe is *people don't want to be smart for their computer*. Configurability is really overrated to the Joes of the world. They just want it to work, and keep working, and not to have to muck with it or drag it into the repair shop, because their letter to Aunt Gemina is there, and(if they are a bit more enthusiastic)their financial records.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, at this moment in time, I trust Linux not one whit with peripherals and drivers. As far as I have experienced, Linux is great with network cards...and that's *it*. I'd rather hire some budding sysadmin on campus to install/configure a Linux computer for my *home*, and I'm actually quite comfortable in the dev environment of Linux. I even have my own long beard.... ;-)" />

The lowest-end of everything i7 compatible will still have the i7 branding and also be very new--regardless of actual performance/quality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead why don't you pick a reasonable price ($1500 will build a rock solid system) and find the best components for the price?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a few tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get a well-reviewed motherboard that has all the features you'd like.  The motherboard is the single hardest part to replace and is the backbone of the system; putting an extra $50 in it up front is worth it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get a processor that is at the low-end of it's performance tier.  Not a low-end proc, but if you're debating between a 2.16 GHz quad-core proc with 4MB L2 or a 2.0GHz quad-core with 6MB L2, go for the 6.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Only get a bundled case/power-supply if it's from a reputable brand.  A cheap PSU is a great way to blow up a nice machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As for everything else: get something in the mid-range, prices drop fast and you'll be able to max-out your rig's capabilities in a year for a fraction of doing it up-front.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a good guide on recommended machines check out ARSTechnica's system guides; they offer several tier's of machines and a handful of options for each component.

For last two days I am having 100% cpu constantly. I can see in &quot;htop&quot; and &quot;gnome-system-monitor&quot; that firefox 3.5 and Xorg is competing at the top for cpu resource. If I kill firefox, even then the CPU usage remains at 100%. So I don't think its firefox causing this. I tried restarting a few times. That does not help either. So my development experience has been very bad for last two days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I not aware of anything particular that i did which may cause this problem. I did few system updates though as they became available in last few days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;My question is, what procedure should I follow to find out what is causing this 100% CPU usage constantly for two days. Or if you already know the problem, please suggest.&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks in advance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;Update:&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is related to Gnome and not Firefox or Compiz. Here is a screen-shot of &quot;htop&quot; with compiz, firefox and almost all of the usual system-tray programs killed. You can see, it is still at 100%, but apparently no program is eating that much resource. The CPU temperature reaches 90 degrees, after sometime.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am now using XFCE and everything is great. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Failsafe Gnome also does NOT solve the problem. Failsafe terminal DOES. So any ideas what is causing this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[link to screen-shot][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6229/screenshotslj.png" />

The lowest-end of everything i7 compatible will still have the i7 branding and also be very new--regardless of actual performance/quality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead why don't you pick a reasonable price ($1500 will build a rock solid system) and find the best components for the price?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a few tips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get a well-reviewed motherboard that has all the features you'd like.  The motherboard is the single hardest part to replace and is the backbone of the system; putting an extra $50 in it up front is worth it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get a processor that is at the low-end of it's performance tier.  Not a low-end proc, but if you're debating between a 2.16 GHz quad-core proc with 4MB L2 or a 2.0GHz quad-core with 6MB L2, go for the 6.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Only get a bundled case/power-supply if it's from a reputable brand.  A cheap PSU is a great way to blow up a nice machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As for everything else: get something in the mid-range, prices drop fast and you'll be able to max-out your rig's capabilities in a year for a fraction of doing it up-front.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a good guide on recommended machines check out ARSTechnica's system guides; they offer several tier's of machines and a handful of options for each component.  It's not a bible, and don't worry about second-guessing it, but it's a good place to start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:** here's links to their 2 most recent sets of guide.  The Gaming guide might not be quite what you're thinking of, but it should have good motherboard recommendations and would be worth reading:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Ars Technica System Guide: April 2009 Edition][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Ars System Guide: Gaming Edition][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Second Update:** Just a thought, but does your school offer discounts through major manufacturors?  Looking at Dell's site their T5500 workstations with a single Xeon is ~$1300, and dual Xeons are around ~$1700.  They could use some RAM upgrades (buy it aftermarket), but the Xeons *should* be the same generation platform as i7 and if you get a student/university discount it might make it a good fit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/guides/2009/04/ars-technica-system-guide-april-2009-edition.ars&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2009/07/gaming-guide.ars" />

This will lead to bogus &quot;File Conflict&quot; messages because WHS can't replicate the open file .fslock that Live Sync creates (I've filed a bug report on this on the WHS Connect site).  That said, though, the idea is that Live Sync will keep folders of your choosing mirrored no matter where you are.  This will NOT give you historical backups, just current-version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, regarding a backup of the WHS itself. I recommend using the BDBB add-in to force WHS to duplicate backup-database files to multiple drives. This will make you resilient to a crash of the primary drive on the WHS server (the C: SYSTEM and D: DATA partitions). I've survived a crash of those twice while retaining my complete backup history.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Third, if you want an offsite regular backup of the WHS server, you can use an external USB drive of sufficient size. When you plug it into the WHS server, you can opt to use it for system backups. It'll copy everything to the external drive and then tell you to dismount it. Now take that drive offsite. This is not a continuous backup, but it is better than nothing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Forth, you can use one of the excellent tools listed in other posts... [Mozy][1], [JungleDisk][2] (my favorite), [KeepVault][3] and let things backup to the internet. This can be kind of expensive, and is very slow to recover from, but your data is _very_ safe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, you can do my favorite thing. Using [CrashPlan][4] you can backup to some one else's machine over the internet. CrashPlan is awesome because you basically make an agreement with one or more people (like my father, brother and I) who all make backup space available to the CrashPlan program. It compresses, encrypts and stores my backups on all shared machines in our person &quot;network&quot;, and each other machine on the network will store stuff on my machines. The way I use it is to have a big drive that I bought for my dad and my brother, installed it on their machines and setup CrashPlan. Now we can all survive a complete nuke-strike.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://mozy.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.jungledisk.com/homeserver/index.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.keepvault.com&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.crashplan.com" />

I mean, I've never noticed any issue resulting from cosmic ray bit flipping. Even on personal compute/compile servers with multiple year uptimes. Not to say that bits didn't flip, but they certainly didn't matter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In my experience running farms of a few thousands machines here and there, you're more likely to have Ext3 silently puke all over you than to have an ECC-correctable problem. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think ECC is a bit cargo-cultish, but it's a reasonable insurance policy on a big beefy server as long as the cost premium isn't too high.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Here's a synopsis of my experiences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I've ended up using two HP LP2065 monitors that have two DVI inputs and an old Belkin PS/2 KVM switch for the keyboard and mouse.  The system still loses track of the keyboard and mouse occasionally.  In order to fix this, I plug USB keyboards and mice directly into the Windows computer or ssh into the Linux computer and reboot it.  Generally this happens about once every couple of months.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - In the beginning I had two Viewsonic VP2030B monitors and a Matrox G450 card.  The Matrox cards have good quality DACs and the Viewsonic monitors have a DSP that sharpens VGA signals.  Picture quality was quite good and I used a pair of Belkin VGA/DVI switches to flip between the computes.  At one point I had four computers going off one of the monitors and two off the other one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Later I had the bright spark of trying DVI with the Viewsonics.  Unfortunately that monitor had a firmware bug where it would often lose track of the digital signal on the DVI.  I bought two (quite expensive) Avocent DVI/USB KVM switches and some fairly expensive cabling.  When the monitor lost the plot the KVM switch would assume there was no monitor connected and lose the plot too.  Most of the time the Viewsonics would drop back to VGA mode if the process worked at all.  Generally the whole lot would crap out every few days requiring about an hour of nitpicking fiddling to get it back up and running.  Fail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Then I replaced the Viewsonics with HP LP2065s, which don't have an edge-sharpening feature for analogue signals.  The switches were still quite flaky and would default to analogue signals.  Replacing the DVI-I cables with DVI-D only cables fixed the analogue problem but the setup is still quite unreliable.  Similar issues persisted with a Startech and Gefen switches and firmware upgrades to all of the switches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At that point, with nearly £1000 down the drain, I gave up on DVI KVM switches and have some serious reservations with recommending that people use them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current setup using two monitors with multiple inputs and just switching the monitors works fairly well - it loses the plot every few months rather than every few days.  All that is needed for this is a single cheap switch like my old Belkin.  One point to note is that USB handles keyboards and mice being unplugged and plugged back in much better than PS/2 does - I use a USB keyboard and mouse to rescue Windows machines if the KVM switch loses the plot." />

It isn’t until you overwrite the sector (on a hard drive) or page (on a SSD) that you actually lose the data. File recovery programs use this property to their advantage and that’s how they help you recover deleted files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The key distinction between HDDs and SSDs however is what happens when you overwrite a file. While a HDD can simply write the new data to the same sector, a SSD will allocate a new (or previously used) page for the overwritten data. The page that contains the now invalid data will simply be marked as invalid and at some point it’ll get erased.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what would be the best way to securely erase files stored on a SSD? Overwriting with random data as we are used to from hard disks (e.g. using the &quot;shred&quot; utility) won't work unless you overwrite the WHOLE drive...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531" />

At the time, tuners were a little buggy and had annoying software.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only reason against it is that it is really not friendly to group viewing, which is where the large screens of the TV shine.  Many monitors, especially badly-built LCDs, will have **bad viewing angles**, as they are built to have one person look at them directly.  TVs on the other hand are viewable from basically any angle you can see the screen from, and that helps when you have 2-3 people watching the same screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most newer Computer LCDs will have the hookups you need for connecting your HDD recorder.

Here's a synopsis of my experiences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I've ended up using two HP LP2065 monitors that have two DVI inputs and an old Belkin PS/2 KVM switch for the keyboard and mouse.  The system still loses track of the keyboard and mouse occasionally.  In order to fix this, I plug USB keyboards and mice directly into the Windows computer or ssh into the Linux computer and reboot it.  Generally this happens about once every couple of months.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - In the beginning I had two Viewsonic VP2030B monitors and a Matrox G450 card.  The Matrox cards have good quality DACs and the Viewsonic monitors have a DSP that sharpens VGA signals.  Picture quality was quite good and I used a pair of Belkin VGA/PS2 switches to flip between the computers.  At one point I had four computers going off one of the monitors and two off the other one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Later I had the bright spark of trying DVI with the Viewsonics.  Unfortunately that monitor had a firmware bug where it would often lose track of the digital signal on the DVI.  I bought two (quite expensive) Avocent DVI/USB KVM switches and some fairly expensive cabling.  When the monitor lost the plot the KVM switch would assume there was no monitor connected and lose the plot too.  Most of the time the Viewsonics would drop back to VGA mode if the process worked at all.  Generally the whole lot would crap out every few days requiring about an hour of nitpicking fiddling to get it back up and running.  Fail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Then I replaced the Viewsonics with HP LP2065s, which don't have an edge-sharpening feature for analogue signals.  The switches were still quite flaky and would default to analogue signals.  Replacing the DVI-I cables with DVI-D only cables fixed the analogue problem but the setup is still quite unreliable.  Similar issues persisted with a Startech and Gefen switches and firmware upgrades to all of the switches.  Fail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At that point, with nearly £1000 down the drain, I gave up on DVI KVM switches and have some serious reservations with recommending that people use them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current setup using two monitors with multiple inputs and just switching the monitors works fairly well - it loses the plot every few months rather than every few days.  All that is needed for this is a single cheap switch like my old Belkin.  One point to note is that USB handles keyboards and mice being unplugged and plugged back in much better than PS/2 does - I use a USB keyboard and mouse to rescue Windows machines if the KVM switch loses the plot." />

No biggie, I thought. I'll just restart the game and go on my merry way. Of course, this didn't work out. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del a few times, but I couldn't get the Task Manager to show up, all I saw was a black screen. After waiting awhile, I managed to get the BSOD telling me that Windows couldn't recover from a video card driver crash. When I restarted, I could tell something was off. Instead of the normal English text, everything was in jibberish. It wasn't a foreign language, it was pure gobbledygook. This didn't seem to be a good sign, but I let the computer continue booting. I could never get to the login screen. It should show me the cursor, then (presumably) the video card driver would crash again, and I would be stuck doing a hard restart on my computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I restarted into Safe Mode and uninstalled the video card driver. When I booted back into Windows it would tell me it found new hardware, install a driver, and ask me to restart. Installing this driver make the problems return again, so I went back to Safe Mode and uninstalled the driver again. This time, instead of installing the driver that Windows wanted to, I downloaded and installed the drivers from ATI's site, and just as the installer asked, I restarted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No dice. The same problem returned. I could use my computer in one of two ways: In safe mode, or without a proper video card driver. Frustrating, but I had a recent backup so I figured I would just reinstall windows and everything would be hunky dory. I popped in the Windows 7 RC CD and began the installation. Format hard drive...check. Copying and expanding files...check. Installing feature and updates...check. Completing installation...BZZRT! Houston, we have a problem. After it restarts so it can boot from the hard drive to complete the installation, I get a BSOD again. It's still whining about the dadgum video card driver, only this time I haven't even finished installing Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point, I was quite annoyed. I figured the one thing I could do was remove the overclock on my processor (the only overclock on my system). I wasn't sure what that could be doing to the video card, but it couldn't hurt. As expected however, this made no change. I still can't get Windows to install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My theory so far is that somehow the video card overheated, and might need to be replaced. I don't know exactly how. When monitoring my temps, I've never seen them go above 75C, which should be plenty cool for the HD4830 I have in my rig.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Summary:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Video card driver crashed&#xD;&#xA; - BIOS shows jibberish&#xD;&#xA; - Can't boot into Windows&#xD;&#xA; - Can't reinstall Windows&#xD;&#xA; - HELP!&#xD;&#xA;" />

In addition to the web site I linked I use the machine as a file server for the family and (small) database server and source control repo for hobby dev projects.  I really want to get the data off the old hard drive (already replaced once, but even the replacement is old now) and onto a _pair_ of new external drives.  To that end, I'm looking for advice on the best replacement options.  Here are some thoughts/concerns when thinking looking for suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'm looking for drives about 1TB in size.&#xD;&#xA; * If you want to consider the enclosure and the drives separately that's fine.&#xD;&#xA; * They don't need to be incredibly fast: the network is more often the bottleneck and most anything you find will already be an upgrade over what's in there right now.&#xD;&#xA; * The are two available USB ports, but I'm pretty sure all the ports on the machine are only USB1.1.  There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 is about my only option.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.

There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 is about my only option.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.

You should find an existing folder in that location. This is where Ubuntu auto-mounts any external media.

If you ever had to reinstall linux, you would be able to leave this partition untouched, and mount it again on the newly installed system. Failing that, I'd opt for */media/Lamcro-Media* as a normal folder, but that's just personal choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Going by your question, I'd say the key is to create a new partition to keep all your media.** You could then mount it at */media* and, if dissatisfied, remount it elsewhere.&#xD;&#xA;" />

No biggie, I thought. I'll just restart the game and go on my merry way. Of course, this didn't work out. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del a few times, but I couldn't get the Task Manager to show up, all I saw was a black screen. After waiting awhile, I managed to get the BSOD telling me that Windows couldn't recover from a video card driver crash. When I restarted, I could tell something was off. Instead of the normal English text, everything was in jibberish. It wasn't a foreign language, it was pure gobbledygook. This didn't seem to be a good sign, but I let the computer continue booting. I could never get to the login screen. It should show me the cursor, then (presumably) the video card driver would crash again, and I would be stuck doing a hard restart on my computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I restarted into Safe Mode and uninstalled the video card driver. When I booted back into Windows it would tell me it found new hardware, install a driver, and ask me to restart. Installing this driver make the problems return again, so I went back to Safe Mode and uninstalled the driver again. This time, instead of installing the driver that Windows wanted to, I downloaded and installed the drivers from ATI's site, and just as the installer asked, I restarted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No dice. The same problem returned. I could use my computer in one of two ways: In safe mode, or without a proper video card driver. Frustrating, but I had a recent backup so I figured I would just reinstall windows and everything would be hunky dory. I popped in the Windows 7 RC CD and began the installation. Format hard drive...check. Copying and expanding files...check. Installing feature and updates...check. Completing installation...BZZRT! Houston, we have a problem. After it restarts so it can boot from the hard drive to complete the installation, I get a BSOD again. It's still whining about the dadgum video card driver, only this time I haven't even finished installing Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point, I was quite annoyed. I figured the one thing I could do was remove the overclock on my processor (the only overclock on my system). I wasn't sure what that could be doing to the video card, but it couldn't hurt. As expected however, this made no change. I still can't get Windows to install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My theory so far is that somehow the video card overheated, and might need to be replaced. I don't know exactly how. When monitoring my temps, I've never seen them go above 75C, which should be plenty cool for the HD4830 I have in my rig.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Summary:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Video card driver crashed&#xD;&#xA; - BIOS shows jibberish&#xD;&#xA; - Can't boot into Windows&#xD;&#xA; - Can't reinstall Windows&#xD;&#xA; - HELP!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I just took out and cleaned off the video card.

The description of this VMWare virtual network is &quot;A private network shared with the host&quot;.    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  It further turns out that Vista's firewall classifies the VMWare Virtual Network as a &quot;Public Network&quot;, and therefore blocks any attempt to access that network from other local computers.   Setting the VMWare Virtual Network as private solves the blocking issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;  Update: Setting the Virtual network as private is only a partial fix - the virtual networks revert to public networks after a reboot.  The complete fix is to declare them as network endpoints (NDIS\_DEVICE\_TYPE\_ENDPOINT) as demonstrated with the PowerShell script at [VMWare VMNET Adapters triggering Public Profile for Windows Firewall][1] .  As this [MSDN Article][2] shows: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Note: Vista automatically identifies and monitors the networks to which a computer connects. If the NDIS\_DEVICE\_TYPE\_ENDPOINT flag is set, the device is an endpoint device and is not a connection to a true external network. Consequently, Windows ignores the endpoint device when Windows identifies networks. The Network Awareness APIs indicate that the device does not connect the computer to a network. For end users in this situation, the Network and Sharing Center and the network icon in the notification area do not show the NDIS endpoint device as connected. However, the connection is shown in the Network Connections Folder. Also, if NDIS\_DEVICE_TYPE\_ENDPOINT is set, the Windows Firewall ignores the connection when Windows Firewall enforces public, private, or domain policies.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.nivot.org/2008/09/05/VMWareVMNETAdaptersTriggeringPublicProfileForWindowsFirewall.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201634.aspx" />

In addition to the web site I linked I use the machine as a file server for the family and (small) database server and source control repo for hobby dev projects.  I really want to get the data off the old hard drive (already replaced once, but even the replacement is old now) and onto a _pair_ of new external drives.  To that end, I'm looking for advice on the best replacement options.  Here are some thoughts/concerns to use when looking for suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'm looking for drives about 1TB in size.&#xD;&#xA; * If you want to consider the enclosure and the drives separately that's fine.&#xD;&#xA; * They don't need to be incredibly fast: the network is more often the bottleneck and most anything you find will already be an upgrade over what's in there right now.&#xD;&#xA; * The are two available USB ports, but I'm pretty sure all the ports on the machine are only USB1.1.  &#xD;&#xA;* There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 or ethernet are about my only connection options.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.  Is this possible for usb drives?&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in a cabinet with limited space and limited power, so bonus points if I can run the drives directly off power from the usb port or at least set it up somehow so both drives only use one outlet.&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in an out-of-the-way place so noise isn't a concern, but heat might be (the cabinet already gets warm at times).&#xD;&#xA; * The server is an old re-purposed consumer grade HP, with no room for add-on cards.  Yes, I know I should replace the machine as well.  That's coming eventually, but part of what I'm hoping to achieve here is putting off that purchase just a little longer.&#xD;&#xA; * I'm thinking about splitting mirrored volume into two partitions and keeping change history on the 2nd parition.  Since the machine is running windows _server_ 2000, the basic backup software that comes with external drives will often refuse to function for licensing reasons.  I'm more than capable of writing my own backup script if need be, but if I could use an existing program that would be better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://jcoehoorn.dyndns.org" />

I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del a few times, but I couldn't get the Task Manager to show up, all I saw was a black screen. After waiting awhile, I managed to get the BSOD telling me that Windows couldn't recover from a video card driver crash. When I restarted, I could tell something was off. Instead of the normal English text, everything was in jibberish. It wasn't a foreign language, it was pure gobbledygook. This didn't seem to be a good sign, but I let the computer continue booting. I could never get to the login screen. It should show me the cursor, then (presumably) the video card driver would crash again, and I would be stuck doing a hard restart on my computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I restarted into Safe Mode and uninstalled the video card driver. When I booted back into Windows it would tell me it found new hardware, install a driver, and ask me to restart. Installing this driver make the problems return again, so I went back to Safe Mode and uninstalled the driver again. This time, instead of installing the driver that Windows wanted to, I downloaded and installed the drivers from ATI's site, and just as the installer asked, I restarted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No dice. The same problem returned. I could use my computer in one of two ways: In safe mode, or without a proper video card driver. Frustrating, but I had a recent backup so I figured I would just reinstall windows and everything would be hunky dory. I popped in the Windows 7 RC CD and began the installation. Format hard drive...check. Copying and expanding files...check. Installing feature and updates...check. Completing installation...BZZRT! Houston, we have a problem. After it restarts so it can boot from the hard drive to complete the installation, I get a BSOD again. It's still whining about the dadgum video card driver, only this time I haven't even finished installing Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point, I was quite annoyed. I figured the one thing I could do was remove the overclock on my processor (the only overclock on my system). I wasn't sure what that could be doing to the video card, but it couldn't hurt. As expected however, this made no change. I still can't get Windows to install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My theory so far is that somehow the video card overheated, and might need to be replaced.

When you're using FileVault, your LaunchServices database is not read correctly after a reboot. Since it's where your associations (files and URLs) are stored, they are all reverted to the system default. Deleting and rebuilding your LaunchServices database would not work because your settings are correctly stored, they just aren't read as they were supposed to after a reboot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sure, I could disable FileVault, but that's not acceptable for me. I have a lot of sensible data in my MacBook and I live in Brazil, where the risk of having your laptop stolen is quite big. So I needed another way to solve this problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Luckily, after browsing a LOT of webpages related to the subject, I found a shell script called &quot;GoodCompany&quot;, written by a guy named Martin Kopischke. Quoting his description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; GoodCompany is a shell script (with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; some accompanying files) to work&#xD;&#xA;&gt; around the annoying FileVault bug&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which makes Launch Services ignore&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user application bindings. If OS X&#xD;&#xA;&gt; seems to forget your default browser,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mailer, RSS reader or editor for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; certain filetypes after each reboot&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and you are using FileVault,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; GoodCompany is for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can download it [here][1]. Just uncompress the ZIP file, put it in a folder inside your home and run it with the &quot;enable&quot; action, so it'll be set to run after every login. Read the accompanying documentation for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I just tried it and, although is not exactly a &quot;solution&quot; to the problem, it's a fine workaround. WAY better than disabling FileVault.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/goodcompany" />

In addition to the web site I linked I use the machine as a file server for the family and (small) database server and source control repo for hobby dev projects.  I really want to get the data off the old hard drive (already replaced once, but even the replacement is old now) and onto a _pair_ of new external drives.  To that end, I'm looking for advice on the best replacement options.  Here are some thoughts/concerns to use when looking for suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'm looking for drives about 1TB in size.&#xD;&#xA; * If you want to consider the enclosure and the drives separately that's fine.&#xD;&#xA; * They don't need to be incredibly fast: the network is more often the bottleneck and most anything you find will already be an upgrade over what's in there right now.&#xD;&#xA; * The are two available USB ports, but I'm pretty sure all the ports on the machine are only USB1.1.  &#xD;&#xA; * There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 or ethernet are about my only connection options.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.  Is this possible for usb drives?&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in a cabinet with limited space and limited power, so bonus points if I can run the drives directly off power from the usb port or at least set it up somehow so both drives only use one outlet.&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in an out-of-the-way place so noise isn't a concern, but heat might be (the cabinet already gets warm at times).&#xD;&#xA; * The server is an old re-purposed consumer grade HP, with no room for add-on cards.  Yes, I know I should replace the machine as well.  That's coming eventually, but part of what I'm hoping to achieve here is putting off that purchase just a little longer.&#xD;&#xA; * I'm thinking about splitting mirrored volume into two partitions and keeping change history on the 2nd parition.  Since the machine is running windows _server_ 2000, the basic backup software that comes with external drives will often refuse to function for licensing reasons.

In your Gigabyte Manual, there's a layout diagram for resetting/clearing your CMOS. Follow the directions in your motherboard manual on clearing your CMOS. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All Gigabyte boards (for quite some time) ship with dual BIOSes. If one of them is corrupt, I think there's a way to restore to factory default settings. Start with the manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whenever you're troubleshooting, don't assume anything. Eliminate good parts from bad parts. Maybe one of your RAM DIMMs is fried. Try removing a few DIMMs to the bare minimum needed. Or try running the Ubuntu memory tests from a CD/DVD. Maybe the hard drive is fed up with Windows 7 and doesn't want to reinstall it for you. Try using another hard drive. Anything you can use to get the system running again. Eliminate every possible part *if* it comes to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I had to guess what's going on, I'd say your video card is *unofficially* supported and your BIOS/CMOS might be a little pissed off from the whole joy of Windows 7, ATI's 'rock solid' stable drivers and an overclocked CPU. Overclocking + *unofficial* OS + Microsoft + ATI Drivers + BIOS is unhappy = an unhappy computer.  If you can eliminate the video issue (with another card), try reinstalling again. If it fails, start investigating the disk with using another one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I may not be able to properly diagnose your computer problem, but I can give you a few tips from preventing and possibly fixing this issue from reoccurring:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Stop overclocking; period. I've never understood the fascination with it and the &quot;surprise&quot; people get when a system starts to behave oddly. Why risk damaging hardware for a couple hundred extra MHz? You want to eek out 500MHz? Pay for the difference and be happy that you're not risking your hardware. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Stop using Windows 7 RC. Try something that has *stable* driver support .. like Windows XP. Hell Windows 2000. Linux. Anything. I don't care if Windows 7 was working beforehand. It's not working now. ATI has always had shitty drivers, why would Windows 7 be any exception to that history?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Don't use beta products as your primary computer or workstation/whatever (this is paritally related to #2). People can't be too much of a help on a product that hasn't even been officially release so very few people have any exposure to your problem. If you *really* want to play with Windows 7 RC? Do it virtually using VirtualBox from Sun (for free). Wait a while and let everyone else deal with the driver pains and the heart aches from it first. Once a service pack hits the streets after 6 months and people are finding some sense of stability, then consider switching. &#xD;&#xA;" />

In your Gigabyte Manual, there's a layout diagram for resetting/clearing your CMOS. Follow the directions in your motherboard manual on clearing your CMOS. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All Gigabyte boards (for quite some time) ship with dual BIOSes. If one of them is corrupt, I think there's a way to restore to factory default settings. Start with the manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whenever you're troubleshooting, don't assume anything. Eliminate good parts from bad parts. Maybe one of your RAM DIMMs is fried. Try removing a few DIMMs to the bare minimum needed. Or try running the Ubuntu memory tests from a CD/DVD. Maybe the hard drive is fed up with Windows 7 and doesn't want to reinstall it for you. Try using another hard drive. Anything you can use to get the system running again. Eliminate every possible part *if* it comes to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I had to guess what's going on, I'd say your video card is *unofficially* supported and your BIOS/CMOS might be a little pissed off from the whole joy of Windows 7, ATI's 'rock solid' stable drivers and an overclocked CPU. Overclocking + *unofficial* OS + Microsoft + ATI Drivers + BIOS is unhappy = an unhappy computer.  If you can eliminate the video issue (with another card), try reinstalling again. If it fails, start investigating the disk with using another one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I may not be able to properly diagnose your computer problem, but I can give you a few tips from preventing and possibly fixing this issue from reoccurring:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Stop overclocking; period. I've never understood the fascination with it and the &quot;surprise&quot; people get when a system starts to behave oddly. Why risk damaging hardware for a couple hundred extra MHz? You want to eek out 500MHz? Pay for the difference and be happy that you're not risking your hardware. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Stop using Windows 7 RC. Try something that has *stable* driver support .. like Windows XP. Hell Windows 2000. Linux. Anything. I don't care if Windows 7 was working beforehand. It's not working now. ATI has always had shitty drivers, why would Windows 7 be any exception to that history?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Don't use beta products as your primary computer or workstation/whatever (this is paritally related to #2). People can't be too much of a help on a product that hasn't even been officially released so very few people have any exposure to your problem. If you *really* want to play with Windows 7 RC do it virtually using VirtualBox from Sun (for free). Wait a while and let everyone else deal with the driver pains and the heart aches from it first. Once a service pack hits the streets after 6 months and people are finding some sense of stability, then consider switching. &#xD;&#xA;" />

This table will be designated as space to throw &quot;stuff&quot; on. I like to think of my desk as like a computer system (even though I'm a mech, not a comp).

Anything that you are not working on at that moment goes to your extra table.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second part of this is the scheduled cleanups.

I have a desktop (Compaq Presario SR1750NX, AMD Athlon 64, Asus ABAE-LE motherboard, onboard ATI Radeon Express video, 3G RAM, 1.5TB + 500G disk) built in 2005.  In the last 6 months or so, it has had 3 or 4 instances where, after power had been completely removed (plug pulled, not just shutdown), for &gt;12 Hrs, the system would not come back up when it was powered up again. Lights would come on, fans would spin, but there was no other activity - absolutely no video, not even the pre-boot splash screen, no POST indication, even the soft power off didn't work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When it was left powered on for several hours, it would suddenly boot and everything would be fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first time it occurred, I replaced and upgraded the power supply, and still had the same results, so I don't think it's the PS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It has occurred again following my upgrade last weekend to Win7 RTM. But this time, it's not coming back, even when left on for &gt;24 Hrs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When it first happened after the upgrade, I had been thinking maybe the CMOS battery had reached it's shelf life, so I replaced that.  And it did come up a couple hours later. But then it went into a sleep state after being up for a while, and would not come back out of it.

SHA-256 is [still considered as being very secure][3].  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(there is [another recent update][4], but [I think such news are not relevant here][5]).  &#xD;&#xA;**To the point at hand**,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**Key Derivation**:  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;**If only a password is used** (i.e. no key file), the password plus a 128-bit random salt are hashed using SHA-256 to form the final key (but note there is some preprocessing: Protection against Dictionary Attacks). The random salt prevents attacks that are based on pre-computed hashes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**When using both password *and* key file, the final key is derived as follows: SHA-256(SHA-256(password), key file contents), i.e. the hash of the master password is concatenated with the key file bytes and the resulting byte string is hashed with SHA-256 again**. If the key file doesn't contain exactly 32 bytes (256 bits), they are hashed with SHA-256, too, to form a 256-bit key. The formula above then changes to: SHA-256(SHA-256(password), SHA-256(key file contents)).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you think your password is going to be a bit weaker (and better for your memory),  &#xD;&#xA;the **key file is a good second factor**.  &#xD;&#xA;So, use both (together).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://keepass.info/help/base/security.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis_o.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/06/ever_better_cry.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://serverfault.com/questions/51895/are-128-and-256bit-aes-encryption-considered-weak/51938#51938" />

I have no idea whether that kind of hardware is still supported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Luckily for you a user of the keyboard posted how he uses it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; My second keyboard is an old Gateway&#xD;&#xA;&gt; AnyKey keyboard with it's own built-in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; macro functions and onboard memory.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's plugged into a regular PS2. I'm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; using this as a controller or command&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sequencer for Reaper. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The Gateway AnyKey keyboard lets you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; program a sequence of keystrokes into&#xD;&#xA;&gt; any key; that sequence is then played&#xD;&#xA;&gt; back when the key is pressed. Because&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this functionality is self-contained&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the kb, **the computer needs no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; awareness that the incoming sequence&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is programmed** -- it just receives it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as regular input (though at a very&#xD;&#xA;&gt; high speed) and responds accordingly. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; For example, I want to quickly toggle&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the mute on all my vocal tracks. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; program a key on the AnyKey to send a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sequence that uses the SWS ReaConsole&#xD;&#xA;&gt; command to do this: &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; cm*vo*[ENTER]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; When I press this key, the sequence is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sent, which &quot;manually&quot; opens the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; console [c], specifies the mute action&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [m], specifies that it should apply to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all tracks with vo anywhere in their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; name [*vo*], and then sends the Enter&#xD;&#xA;&gt; key. It all happens in a fraction of a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; second. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I can program this into any key that I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; want, eg, the F1 key, and use the F2&#xD;&#xA;&gt; key to unmute all *vo* tracks, by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; adding a hyphen in front of the same&#xD;&#xA;&gt; command sequence. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Because the AnyKey kb's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; programmability is self-contained, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; has no effect at all on my main&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard, whose F1 and F2 keys do what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they're supposed to do -- there is no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; duplication *of those keys*.** &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Now, all of the regular keys on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; AnyKey kb can be programed in this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; way, BUT -- and this is important and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the key to how this works -- all keys&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that are NOT specifically programmed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will behave normally, and will be seen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by the OS as regular kb input. **In&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other words, unprogrammed keys are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;duplicates&quot; but keys that ARE&#xD;&#xA;&gt; programmed are not.** &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; As mentioned, the AnyKey's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; programmability is entirely&#xD;&#xA;&gt; self-contained, so even though Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sees a second duplicate keyboard, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard itself is capable of sending&#xD;&#xA;&gt; out alternate sequences. The problem&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with this is that the AnyKey is old,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and it's memory is limited and, sadly,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; not as strong as it once was.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.freestuffandmoney.com/forsale/drivers.html" />

[Qt][1] comes to mind. But the fact that those frameworks are cross platform also makes the applications created with them less user friendly on a specific platform than a &quot;native&quot; GUI application. Those frameworks tend to make everything look generic across platforms, which in the case of Apple is bad, because Apple created a very specific user experience which not easily &quot;fits&quot; into other platforms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(toolkit)" />

Of course I planned to mount the NTFS shared drives read-only  (mounting a non clustered FS read-write on several hosts at a time is a sure way to get it FUBAR). However it was late (10PM) and I somewhat managed (though linux NTFS driver defaults to read-only) to mount the drives read-write. Worse, I understood what happened because the NT machines were going awry... Fortunately chkdsk savec the day and no definitive harm was done :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now others' blunders :) In 1998 I installed our first SAN at a very big customer. The SAN was freakin' huge for the time : 1 terabyte! (don't laugh). If filled a full 44U rack, it was a RAID 5 of 43GB 5.25'' drives!&#xD;&#xA;However we had planned a live space extension some weeks later. My colleague went to the customer facility with the new drives, shelves, cables, etc, and proceeded to cabling everything... without following exactly the (complex) cabling instructions!!! When he turned up the system, the array fell down in flames.... Huuu.... 920GB of data lost, it was pretty expensive to recover :((((&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet another blunder : in june 1998 we had to replicate hard drives on a bunch of new PCs in only one day. So we had one &quot;master copy&quot;, 100 PCs, and Norton Ghost. One of my colleague said &quot;let me do it, I'm used to do that&quot; and gently proceeded to ... overwrite the only good master with a blank drive.

To create an OS X GUI application, one has to follow the api which Apple has exposed, and hence this is not cross platform and not easily portable.  &#xD;&#xA;That's why most libraries *are* easily ported (actually most are developed on Linux) to Linux but **not** their graphical shells.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a side note: There are frameworks out there with which you can create cross platform GUI applications.

But the fact that those frameworks are cross platform also makes the applications created with them less user friendly on a specific platform than a &quot;native&quot; GUI application.

I knew it was failing because programs began behaving badly and it finally died during boot. When I attached the drive to another machine to read everything off, I was able to copy everything (after [some permissions flail][1]) and it did so without error, but the actual content was damaged as archive testing proved.

By removing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the onus of legacy application&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatibility from the OS, Microsoft&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can strip away deadwood technology&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from future versions of Windows at a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; speedier clip, because customers who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; need to run older applications can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; simply do so with XPM. For Windows 7&#xD;&#xA;&gt; specifically, XPM is a huge&#xD;&#xA;&gt; convenience, especially for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft's corporate customers, who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can of course control XPM behavior via&#xD;&#xA;&gt; standard Microsoft administration and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; management technologies like Active&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; And it significantly recasts the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 7 compatibility picture.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Before, Microsoft could claim that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 7 would be at least as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatible as Windows Vista. Now, they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can claim almost complete Windows XP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatibility, or almost 100 percent&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatibility with all currently&#xD;&#xA;&gt; running Windows applications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;source: [www.withinwindows.com][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Backwards compatibility is a huge, necessary burden for Microsoft. The XP virtual machine is a way to keep current XP users (mostly businesses) happy without stifling innovation and costs associated with maintaining backwards compatibility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Microsoft must keep Windows compatible with previous versions otherwise current users will not upgrade. Users' 3rd party apps may be difficult, if not impossible to update for Windows 7. If their software does not run on Windows 7, it is a huge mark against it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides being a pain for Microsoft developers, backwards compatibility also stifles innovation. Often backwards compatibility means Windows cannot be redesigned in a major, beneficial way.

Any addition/modification changes to the local data will be propagated to the external storage the next time it is connected.  Hopefully automatically.&#xD;&#xA;3. Any deletion on the local drive shouldn't be propagated to the external storage.&#xD;&#xA;4. Deletions on the storage drive would propagate to the local one, or at least once it is deleted it is never imported again from the local drive&#xD;&#xA;5. Not interested in state restoration.  We don't care about how the storage was like two weeks ago.  We'll never want to restore that stage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Desires, but not requirements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Track file content rather than file names/paths.  We would like to be able to change the directory hierarchy of the external storage without confusing the tool.&#xD;&#xA;2. Restoration of a file state.  While we aren't interested in the state of the entire backup, it will be nice to see the changes each document went through.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my simple view, this is what a document backup should look like; as opposed to system backup where I am always interested in restoring the system if it fails.

Of course I planned to mount the NTFS shared drives read-only  (mounting a non clustered FS read-write on several hosts at a time is a sure way to get it FUBAR). However it was late (10PM) and I somewhat managed (though linux NTFS driver defaults to read-only) to mount the drives read-write. Worse, I understood what happened because the NT machines were going awry... Fortunately chkdsk saved the day and no definitive harm was done :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now others' blunders :) In 1998 I installed our first SAN at a very big customer. The SAN was freakin' huge for the time : 1 terabyte! (don't laugh). If filled a full 44U rack, it was a RAID 5 of 43GB 5.25'' drives!&#xD;&#xA;However we had planned a live space extension some weeks later. My colleague went to the customer facility with the new drives, shelves, cables, etc, and proceeded to cabling everything... without following exactly the (complex) cabling instructions!!! When he turned up the system, the array fell down in flames.... Huuu.... 920GB of data lost, it was pretty expensive to recover :((((&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet another blunder : in june 1998 we had to replicate hard drives on a bunch of new PCs in only one day. So we had one &quot;master copy&quot;, 100 PCs, and Norton Ghost. One of my colleague said &quot;let me do it, I'm used to do that&quot; and gently proceeded to ... overwrite the only good master with a blank drive. Of course the guy who knew how to make a new master was 700 kms away... he went to the airport with a new master and tried for a while to convince some random passengers to bring it to avoid travelling himself; well it didn't work too well, he had to buy a ticket finally :)" />

And if you do a little browsing, it's not terribly difficult to figure out how things work.  For machine-wide associations, it all happens in the root of *HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT*.  Manual editing of this stuff gives you ultimate power over your file extensions (albeit tedious).  Just create a backup in case you screw things up and want to revert.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each file association has a subkey called **.xyz** where xyz is the extension of your file.  The **(Default)** value for that key is set to some arbitrary string.  Most applications that register file extensions set it to something human readable.  For example, *.pdf* on my system is set to *FoxitReader.Document*.  There many be other values in this key, but nothing is mandatory except the (Default) value.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For whatever that (Default) value is set to, there will be a corresponding subkey with the same name also in the root of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.  The (Default) value of *this* key is essentially the &quot;friendly name&quot; of the file type.  This key may also have many subkeys, but the only ones we're interested in are **DefaultIcon** and **Shell**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**DefaultIcon** as you probably guessed controls the icon for that file type.  The **(Default)** value for this key should be set to the path of the icon file.  Or if the icon is in a .exe file, set it to the path of the .exe and include a comma and the icon index at the end of the path.  For instance, the FoxitReader.Document DefaultIcon is set to &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    C:\PROGRA~1\FOXITS~1\FOXITR~1\FOXITR~1.EXE,1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Shell** is where you set up all of the &quot;actions&quot; for this file type.  For each action you want to define, create a subkey called whatever you want to name the action.  Most types have at least one action called **open**.  Within this new action's subkey, create a subkey called **Command**.  The **(Default)** value of this Command key is basically the command line that runs when this action is clicked/run.  For example, the open command on a FoxitReader.Document is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &quot;C:\PROGRA~1\FOXITS~1\FOXITR~1\FOXITR~1.EXE&quot; &quot;%1&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The *&quot;%1&quot;* argument gets set to the path of the file you ran the action from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you've only got one action defined for a given file type, I believe it will be the default action that is run if the file is double clicked.  If there are multiple possible actions, you can set which one will be the default by modifying the **(Default)** value of the **Shell** key.  Just set it to the name of the action you want to be the default.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With all of this said, it's not very efficient to do it all from scratch.  It's probably easier to use the built-in tools to get most of the way there and then just tweak the things manually that the tools don't let you do.  I should also probably mention that all of this info is based on XP, but I'm almost positive none of it has changed for Vista or Win7." />

It'll boil down to you sending a one-time-use link to your user.  The link launches the screen-sharing program (probably as a Java applet, in your case) in hosting mode, then connects to your support tech's &quot;viewer&quot; session.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're using VNC, your support techs will have to use &quot;VNCviewer (listening mode),&quot; and the clients will have to run VNCserver to connect to the viewer.  I don't think VNC has built-in support for running the Java server via a web interface, so you'll have to set that up, or you'll have to make your customer install VNCserver and connect to your tech support person's &quot;listening&quot; VNCviewer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fog Creek has a product called CoPilot which is basically a well-packaged VNC system that does all the setup for you.  You download and run a .exe, your user does the same, and each of your .exe files connects to a Fog Creek server which connects the server and viewer sessions.  No, it's not free or open-source, but it works and depending on your support load, it still might be cheaper than spending the developer time on building your own system.  More info here: https://www.copilot.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If nothing else, maybe CoPilot can give you some idea of how your customized system will need to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also use conferencing software like WebEx or Yugma, but most of these require you to register for an account, and the free/cheaper plans don't allow the attendees (the people who join the conference instead of initiating it) to share their screens.  The free/cheap plans also usually don't allow one of the other people in the conference take control of the host's screen.  Unless you're frequently doing tech support for the same customer, it would probably be too much of a hassle to set up a free web conference...not to mention, it would be frustrating walking the customer through all the steps to register and set up the conference." />

(The domain is &lt;http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com&gt; if it matters.) Symptoms are as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Whenever I try to access the site normally (i.e. in a browser) the connection times out.&#xD;&#xA;- Trying to resolve the site name on DNS using `dig +showsearch +trace www.irishgaelictranslator.com` ends with the message &quot;connection timed out; no servers could be reached&quot;. `dig` is able to retrieve the NS records for the domain, which specify the nameservers `ns1.irish-sayings.com.` (207.58.181.154) and `ns2.irish-sayings.com.` (207.58.181.155). It times out trying to connect to either of those servers.&#xD;&#xA;- The IP address for `www.irishgaelictranslator.com` is 207.58.181.154, and attempts to ping that IP address are unsuccessful. The connection times out.&#xD;&#xA;- When running `traceroute` the trace reaches up to `sc-smv1461.servint.net (209.50.237.172)` (step 21) with no problems or delays, and then I get just `* * *` after that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far it just sounds like the server is down. But here's the weird thing: I have no problems accessing &lt;http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com&gt; from any other computer. I also have no problems accessing any other websites from my laptop. As far as I can tell, it's only the one particular combination of my laptop in my apartment and this one website that is causing problems. (I haven't tried taking my laptop elsewhere, but that's probably next on my list)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What sort of diagnostics can/should I run to try to figure out what's going on here? As mentioned, I've already tried `ping`, `traceroute`, and `dig`, and I've also fired up Wireshark during all three of these to see if it showed anything useful, but I haven't seen anything that signals a problem to me. (I'm not the greatest networking expert, I could be missing something) Is there anything else to do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the tags suggest, I primarily run Linux, but I do have Windows available to test with as well. (I have the same connectivity problems to the website when I'm running Windows, so it's not an operating-system-dependent problem.)" />

Follow these steps&#xD;&#xA;&gt; carefully and restore your old GRUB:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Boot through Ubuntu Linux Live CD/DVD**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Start terminal and give following&#xD;&#xA;&gt; command:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; $ sudo grub&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You will then enter in grub&#xD;&#xA;&gt; configuration mode.

For&#xD;&#xA;&gt; example, in my machine, it is on disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1, partition 6, so the value will be –&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (hd0,5). So, be careful here else your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Grub will not be restored, and you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will get error message instead.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Finally, give following command within&#xD;&#xA;&gt; grub configuration mode:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; $ quit&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; $ exit&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Now, reboot (do not forget to remove&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Linux Live CD/DVD to boot from HDD).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If everything had gone right, **your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Grub boot manager will load and prompt&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you to choose to boot from either**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Linux or Windows 7**.

But **[Windows Movie Maker 2.1][2] for Windows XP is still a great option if you’re still using Windows XP**. As we mentioned in our initial post about Windows Live Movie Maker last October, we’ve built a new engine for Movie Maker that makes use of some of the latest and greatest technologies available on the Windows platform.  Introduced in Windows Vista (and supported in Windows 7) is a new graphics driver model, which brings more reliable and stable support for high-end graphics. We’ve also built our new engine on top of DirectX, which improves speed and enables even more advanced capabilities over time. Finally, we’ve also built Windows Live Movie Maker on top of the new Windows 7 Scenic platform (and have brought it to Windows Vista as well) which makes our new user interface possible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41131.entry&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx" />

The Intel driver even urges me to switch to the &quot;recommended&quot; 1920x1080.  I just installed Win7 using this tv as the monitor. When the orginial welcome screen started after setup, it started me at 1080. I had to start in safemode to set a res that would work!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I plug my laptop into the TV, 1920x1080 works just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any ideas?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This laptop also has Win7, which I am going to try, but I haven't gotten a chance yet." />

It allows  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; two replicas of a collection of files&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and directories to be stored on   &#xD;&#xA;&gt; different hosts (or different disks on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the same host), modified   &#xD;&#xA;&gt; separately, and then brought up to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; date by propagating the changes in   &#xD;&#xA;&gt; each replica to the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It lets you specify directories to sync - these will be the folders you want to cache. You can also finely control the direction of sync. It will not auto-run when you connect to the drive. You'll need to trigger that yourself, depending on the Linux distro you run and how you/it connects to the remote drive. e.g if you use the *mount* command, wrap it in a script that calls unison after the mount. There's a brief [write-up](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Unison) of how to use it on the Ubuntu community documentation site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unison is a command-line tool that also has a GUI of the same name. If you're on Ubuntu, both packages are included in the universe but not installed by default. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; $sudo apt-get install unison unison-gtk&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is also available for the Mac via ports (Fink, Macports etc). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Features:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;     * Unison runs on both Windows (95, 98, NT, 2k, and XP) and Unix&#xD;&#xA;       (OSX, Solaris, Linux, etc.) systems. Moreover, Unison works across&#xD;&#xA;       platforms, allowing you to synchronize a Windows laptop with a&#xD;&#xA;       Unix server, for example.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unlike a distributed filesystem, Unison is a user-level program:&#xD;&#xA;       there is no need to modify the kernel or to have superuser&#xD;&#xA;       privileges on either host.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities, Unison can deal with&#xD;&#xA;       updates to both replicas of a distributed directory structure.&#xD;&#xA;       Updates that do not conflict are propagated automatically.&#xD;&#xA;       Conflicting updates are detected and displayed.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unison works between any pair of machines connected to the&#xD;&#xA;       internet, communicating over either a direct socket link or&#xD;&#xA;       tunneling over an encrypted ssh connection. It is careful with&#xD;&#xA;       network bandwidth, and runs well over slow links such as PPP&#xD;&#xA;       connections. Transfers of small updates to large files are&#xD;&#xA;       optimized using a compression protocol similar to rsync.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unison has a clear and precise specification, described below.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unison is resilient to failure. It is careful to leave the&#xD;&#xA;       replicas and its own private structures in a sensible state at all&#xD;&#xA;       times, even in case of abnormal termination or communication&#xD;&#xA;       failures.&#xD;&#xA;     * Unison is free; full source code is available under the GNU Public&#xD;&#xA;       License.&#xD;&#xA;" />

As far as I know, there is no way to change the Finder so it opens files on selection alone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One solution would be to use configure your mouse so that one of the buttons creates a double-click." />

(The domain is &lt;http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com&gt; if it matters.) Symptoms are as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Whenever I try to access the site normally (i.e. in a browser) the connection times out.&#xD;&#xA;- Trying to resolve the site name on DNS using `dig +showsearch +trace www.irishgaelictranslator.com` ends with the message &quot;connection timed out; no servers could be reached&quot;. `dig` is able to retrieve the NS records for the domain, which specify the nameservers `ns1.irish-sayings.com.` (207.58.181.154) and `ns2.irish-sayings.com.` (207.58.181.155). It times out trying to connect to either of those servers.&#xD;&#xA;- The IP address for `www.irishgaelictranslator.com` is 207.58.181.154, and attempts to ping that IP address are unsuccessful. The connection times out.&#xD;&#xA;- When running `traceroute` the trace reaches up to `sc-smv1461.servint.net (209.50.237.172)` (step 21) with no problems or delays, and then I get just `* * *` after that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far it just sounds like the server is down. But here's the weird thing: I have no problems accessing &lt;http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com&gt; from any other computer. I also have no problems accessing any other websites from my laptop. As far as I can tell, it's only the one particular combination of my laptop in my apartment and this one website that is causing problems. (I haven't tried taking my laptop elsewhere, but that's probably next on my list)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What sort of diagnostics can/should I run to try to figure out what's going on here? As mentioned, I've already tried `ping`, `traceroute`, and `dig`, and I've also fired up Wireshark during all three of these to see if it showed anything useful, but I haven't seen anything that signals a problem to me. (I'm not the greatest networking expert, I could be missing something) Is there anything else to do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the tags suggest, I primarily run Linux, but I do have Windows available to test with as well. (I have the same connectivity problems to the website when I'm running Windows, so it's not an operating-system-dependent problem.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;__EDIT__: The problem turned out to be that my IP address was blacklisted by the server's firewall. No idea how it got on the blacklist, but the site admin removed it and the connection works now. Anyway, even though my specific problem has been resolved, I'm still interested in any more suggestions as to tests I could have done to gather useful information." />

Extract from the man page:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; DESCRIPTION  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **tcpflow is a program that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; captures data transmitted as part of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; TCP connections (flows), and stores&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the data in a way that is convenient&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for protocol analysis or debugging.** A&#xD;&#xA;&gt; program like tcpdump(4) shows a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; summary of packets seen on the wire,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; but usually doesn't store the data&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that's actually being transmitted. In&#xD;&#xA;&gt; contrast, tcpflow reconstructs the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; actual data streams and stores each&#xD;&#xA;&gt; flow in a separate file for later&#xD;&#xA;&gt; analysis. tcpflow understands TCP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sequence numbers and will correctly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reconstruct data streams regardless of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; retransmissions or out-of-order&#xD;&#xA;&gt; delivery. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; tcpflow stores all captured data in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; files that have names of the form &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 192.168.101.102.02345-010.011.012.013.45103&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; where the contents of the above file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; would be data transmitted from host&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 192.168.101.102 port 2345, to host 10.11.12.13 port 45103.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Set up a connection from your application app to your server.&#xD;&#xA;When the connection is up and running, tcpflow is still able to capturs data from it&#xD;&#xA;For exemple: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo tcpflow -i lo port 5555&#xD;&#xA;    tcpflow[3006]: listening on lo&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every data will be stored in a file named 127.000.000.001.48842-127.000.000.001.05555.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may still redirect this on the standard output with the option -Cs .&#xD;&#xA;Read the manual page to play with expression to tune the paquets you want tcpflow to capture.&#xD;&#xA;" />

(On Windows laptops with some scroll-zone at the side of the trackpad, one often first needs to click in the part of the window one wants to scroll. When not doing that, one might not be scrolling the part of the window where the mouse pointer is positioned, but some other active window instead.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also adore a feature that even some experienced Mac users don't know about: **while dragging one can release ones fingers from the trackpad and quickly reposition them, without ending the current drag operation**. Like when your fingers get to a border of the trackpad while moving something from one place to another, selecting text or drawing a line: just release your fingers from the trackpad, quickly move them into the opposite direction, and put them on the trackpad again to continue what you were doing. So, this is just like picking up your mouse while keeping the button pressed, which might in fact be more difficult! (This does not require you to explicitly enable &quot;Drag Lock&quot;. However, once one gets used to repositioning ones fingers, one can really mess up things when using any other trackpad/OS.) In combination with Exposé and the [spring-loaded folders][1], drag and drop using a trackpad is really as easy as it gets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This being CW, please edit if you can describe it any better. ;-)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And Time Machine, especially **the integration of Time Machine with applications like Mail, Address Book or iPhoto**. Simply enter Time Machine while one of [these][2] applications is active, and you'll get the regular star field with *that* application (rather than the normal Finder). Makes it easy to even restore messages from email accounts that you've already deleted a long time ago (without the need to understand how and where Mail stores messages on your hard drive). One can also [easily][3] use multiple Time Machine disks, to get some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/26/mac-101-spring-loaded-folders/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(Apple_software)#Time-Machine-Aware_Applications&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090603163307642" />

(On Windows laptops with some scroll-zone at the side of the trackpad, one often first needs to click in the part of the window one wants to scroll. When not doing that, one might not be scrolling the part of the window where the mouse pointer is positioned, but some other active window instead.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also adore a feature that even some experienced Mac users don't know about: **while dragging one can release ones fingers from the trackpad and quickly reposition them, without ending the current drag operation**. Like when your fingers get to a border of the trackpad while moving something from one place to another, selecting text or drawing a line: just release your fingers from the trackpad, quickly move them into the opposite direction, and put them on the trackpad again to continue what you were doing. So, this is just like picking up your mouse while keeping the button pressed, which might in fact be more difficult! (This does not require you to explicitly enable &quot;Drag Lock&quot;. However, once one gets used to repositioning ones fingers, one can really mess up things when using any other trackpad/OS.) In combination with Exposé and the [spring-loaded folders][1], drag and drop using a trackpad is really as easy as it gets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This being CW, please edit if you can describe it any better. ;-)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And Time Machine, especially **the integration of Time Machine with applications like Mail, Address Book or iPhoto**. Simply enter Time Machine while one of [these][2] applications is active, and you'll get the regular star field with *that* application (rather than the normal Finder). Makes it easy to even restore messages from email accounts that you've already deleted a long time ago (without the need to understand how and where Mail stores messages on your hard drive). One can also [easily][3] use multiple Time Machine disks, to get some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the [proxy icon][4] in a window's title bar, which often only appears when a document is saved, will often be dimmed if it has unsaved changes, and most important: **the proxy icon can be used for drag and drop**, or pressed for a brief period or Ctrl-clicked to jump to a location in Finder. (In Safari there is no icon, but one can still Ctrl-click the title itself, to select URLs that are &quot;higher&quot; in the hierarchy as well.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/26/mac-101-spring-loaded-folders/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(Apple_software)#Time-Machine-Aware_Applications&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090603163307642&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/XHIGWindows.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-TPXREF53" />

I ran low voltage for two years in a residential setting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Go for Cat-5e for both phone and ethernet, one cable for each.  Cat-5E handles gigabit perfectly well, and unless you have a ginormous house(read: greater than 300ft from outlet to closet) you won't have problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's talk wiring closet locations.  Avoid the attic, seriously, it sucks.  It's hot, you can't work with your equipment, bad news.  Go lower, the basement.  Try for a central-ish area, but generally tucking it all into your furnace room is a fine idea, unless it's tight for space.  Ensure that where your wires all come out has adequate power built-in, it'll be easier that way.  Also, if you can afford it, a decent patch-panel for your ethernet, and a phone punch-down block are very good choices, it will make maintaining and upgrading much easier.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lets talk labeling.  Mostly, just do it.  Label both ends of every wire.  If you don't run the wires yourself, make sure whoever does writes up a paper on what and where every wire is and goes.  20 years down the road, I might have to fix something, and it takes longer if I don't know where things are.  Remember, I charge by the hour, and I'm not cheap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's talk routing.  Generally you don't need to worry about conduit, it's a bit of a hassle for low-voltage is usually unnecessary.  Don't use staples except for a single wire, near the end of it's run.  A pinched wire or a staple through a jacket can cause problems.  Do put one or two 3-4&quot; solid PVC tubes from the basement to the attic.  These arn't for your current wires, leave them empty for future.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lets talk future wiring.  Depending on the house you have, you might not have to future-proof as much as you think.  A standard unfinished(exposed ceiling) basement, two stories, and an accessible attic are all you need to easily add wires down the road.  Using those PVC tubes, you can run wires to the attic, and then down the walls to the 2nd story.  Drill up from the basement for the 1st floor.  You may need additional &quot;conduit&quot; depending on your situation.  Use flexible &quot;smurf&quot; blue tubing as another poster mentioned.  It's cheap, easy to run, and works fine.  If you need some flexiblity in an area that will be finished, consider putting an electrical box with a few tubes and pull-wires in it, and then cover it with a blank plate.  Down the road if I need to run wires, and can't find another way, I start checking those blank boxes, and usually find a way to make it work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lets talk cable.  Usually all you need in each room is one coax drop.  Insist on RG-6 or better.  RG-59 is not suitable for long runs of digital signal.  Most competent installers will guide you to this anyway.  Run them all to a single point, and have an amplifier-splitter from your main feed.  Unless you have a dual-tuner environment, you shouldn't need two or more wires, although if you do, be sure to grab them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lets talk other accessories.  Consider the following&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Whole House audio or video(From Russound or Crestron, etc)&#xD;&#xA; - Single Room audio/home theater(It's pretty easy to stash all your av components into a closet, and hang the tv on the wall.  A wireless universal remote can be had for around $120 to control it all.  It looks very clean)&#xD;&#xA; - Security(Burglary, monitored Fire alarm, monitored Carbon monoxide, cameras)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most of these things, talk to a specialized company in your area.  They have specialized requirements that are too numerous to mention here.  Let them know your situation, and they are generally grateful to visit the construction site and do their own pre-wiring.  Saves them lots of time later on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have questions about anything specific, feel free to ask!" />

Two cards that support DirectX 10.1 should **theoretically** produce identical graphics when playing a DirectX 10.1 game.  There are occasionally bugs in the drivers that cause artifacts, or other quality issues that create problems.  There are also user controlled driver settings that can change how the game renders, but the point being that the capabilities are that defined by the DirectX standard that the card supports.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As part of the card's specifications, it will list the DirectX version, as well as the OpenGL version it supports.

In addition to the web site I linked I use the machine as a file server for the family and (small) database server and source control repo for hobby dev projects.  I really want to get the data off the old hard drive (already replaced once, but even the replacement is old now) and onto a _pair_ of new external drives.  To that end, I'm looking for advice on the best replacement options.  Here are some thoughts/concerns to use when looking for suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'm looking for drives about 1TB in size.&#xD;&#xA; * If you want to consider the enclosure and the drives separately that's fine.&#xD;&#xA; * They don't need to be incredibly fast: the network is more often the bottleneck and most anything you find will already be an upgrade over what's in there right now.&#xD;&#xA; * The are two available USB ports, but I'm pretty sure all the ports on the machine are only USB1.1.  &#xD;&#xA; * There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 or ethernet are about my only connection options.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.  Is this possible for usb drives?&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in a cabinet with limited space and limited power, so bonus points if I can run the drives directly off power from the usb port or at least set it up somehow so both drives only use one outlet.&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in an out-of-the-way place so noise isn't a concern, but heat might be (the cabinet already gets warm at times).&#xD;&#xA; * The server is an old re-purposed consumer grade HP, with no room for add-on cards.  Yes, I know I should replace the machine as well.  That's coming eventually, but part of what I'm hoping to achieve here is putting off that purchase just a little longer.&#xD;&#xA; * I'm thinking about splitting mirrored volume into two partitions and keeping change history on the 2nd parition.  Since the machine is running windows _server_ 2000, the basic backup software that comes with external drives will often refuse to function for licensing reasons.  I'm more than capable of writing my own backup script if need be, but if I could use an existing program that would be better.&#xD;&#xA; * If I go the NAS route, I really want something that will let me use NTFS with security users/groups from the server (it's a domain controller).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Update:  My hand has been forced.  My server started throwing bug checks at me on friday, and now crashes every 4-8 hours or so.  It usually comes right back up but sometimes something doesn't work.  The diagnosis is almost certainly just a bad stick of ram, but replacing the old ram isn't a very efficient use of my money.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So instead of a nice new raid array I'm going for a whole new system.  It's what I need to do anyway.  I'm going the ultra-low power route, and so ironically the new server will cost less than the pair of hard drives and ultimately save me even more money in electricity and open up some space in the cabinet.  I still get to add disk space, and because it'll be a new drive it should be reliable enough until I can revisit this in a year or so, and by then I should be able to get the drives for even less.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks to everyone who helped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://jcoehoorn.dyndns.org" />

In addition to the web site I linked I use the machine as a file server for the family and (small) database server and source control repo for hobby dev projects.  I really want to get the data off the old hard drive (already replaced once, but even the replacement is old now) and onto a _pair_ of new external drives.  To that end, I'm looking for advice on the best replacement options.  Here are some thoughts/concerns to use when looking for suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'm looking for drives about 1TB in size.&#xD;&#xA; * If you want to consider the enclosure and the drives separately that's fine.&#xD;&#xA; * They don't need to be incredibly fast: the network is more often the bottleneck and most anything you find will already be an upgrade over what's in there right now.&#xD;&#xA; * The are two available USB ports, but I'm pretty sure all the ports on the machine are only USB1.1.  &#xD;&#xA; * There's no firewire or eSata, so the USB1.1 or ethernet are about my only connection options.&#xD;&#xA; * I'd like to use the disk manager to set up a single raid 1 volume.  Is this possible for usb drives?&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in a cabinet with limited space and limited power, so bonus points if I can run the drives directly off power from the usb port or at least set it up somehow so both drives only use one outlet.&#xD;&#xA; * The server is in an out-of-the-way place so noise isn't a concern, but heat might be (the cabinet already gets warm at times).&#xD;&#xA; * The server is an old re-purposed consumer grade HP, with no room for add-on cards.  Yes, I know I should replace the machine as well.  That's coming eventually, but part of what I'm hoping to achieve here is putting off that purchase just a little longer.&#xD;&#xA; * I'm thinking about splitting mirrored volume into two partitions and keeping change history on the 2nd parition.  Since the machine is running windows _server_ 2000, the basic backup software that comes with external drives will often refuse to function for licensing reasons.  I'm more than capable of writing my own backup script if need be, but if I could use an existing program that would be better.&#xD;&#xA; * If I go the NAS route, I really want something that will let me use NTFS with security users/groups from the server (it's a domain controller).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Update:  My hand has been forced.  My server started throwing bug checks at me on friday, and now crashes every 4-8 hours or so.  It usually comes right back up but sometimes something doesn't work.  The diagnosis is almost certainly just a bad stick of ram, but replacing the old ram isn't a very efficient use of my money.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So instead of a nice new raid array I'm going for a [whole new system][2].  It's what I need to do anyway.  I'm going the ultra-low power route, and so ironically the new server will cost less than the pair of hard drives, ultimately save me even more money in electricity, and open up some space in the cabinet.  I still get to add disk space, and because it'll be a new drive it should be reliable enough until I can revisit this in a year or so, and by then I should be able to get the drives for even less.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks to everyone who helped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://jcoehoorn.dyndns.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119013" />

So, you could create a folder that contains all of the shortcuts to all of your games, and then you'd have access to those shortcuts from the taskbar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See [here][1] for the complete list of steps (near the bottom of the page).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/9542-custom-toolbars.html" />

I've had much worse luck with other manufacturers, but as I've used far less of their drives the relevance of any statistic I quote could be hotly debated! This unfortunately is something you find in most anecdotal information - someone who has had two Maxtor drives die and bought no more has a 100% failure rate for that manufacturer but the two drives that died around the same time from the 20 they bought that year is only a 10% failure rate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There were a few problems with 1Tb and 1.5Tb Seagate models some months ago, though these may have been cleared up by now. Make sure you check the firmware version of any 1 or 1.5Tb drive you buy and update as needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the really bad stories I could recount (Maxtor had a bad patch some years ago, which is why many people won't touch them, and there was the big Deskstar/Deathstar problem not long after that, and so on) are too old now for them to have much relevance to the purchasing of new drives. For more up-to-date information you'll need to look through the last few months techie news, though be prepared to have a job filtering good information from the FUD and bad testing/benchmarking procedures that are out there!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A very important distinguishing factor between manufacturers and drive ranges is warranty support - how long a warranty do you get, what are the other official terms (will they always send out a new like-for-like-or-better drive, or could they send you a refurb?), and how good/quick are they at dealing with faults and returns. Also make sure you know who the warranty is with - with OEM drives most manufactures will expect you to send a faulty drive back to where you got it from, not directly back to them, which can delay/complicate things. Apparently Seagate are good for honouring direct returns for OEM models, though I only have anecdotal evidence for this. If in doubt, get retail boxed drives (though these often cost more).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've stopped trusting meaningful data to single drives, even if that data is properly backed up (i.e. regularly backed up and the backups tested regularly enough too). For my main data stores I use pairs in a RAID1 arrangement. As drives are so cheap these days and both Linux and Windows support software RAID out of the box (0, 1, 5, 6, 10, &amp; others under Linux, 0 &amp; 1 under Windows non-server and 0, 1 &amp; 5 under Windows server editions) I feel the extra outlay and setup time to be worth it, though if you are buying a drive for a games (or home entertainment in general) machine it might be more hassle than it is worth to you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On servers that need minimum downtime everything is on RAID1 (or 10, or 5, depending on the performance metrics desired) though on my home and dev machines the OS and apps are on single drives (these can be reinstalled easily if the drive goes bad) with actual work (code, data, VMS, ...) on RAIDed drives. I use RAID0 for speed in some cases too (my games on my main home machine are on a RAID0 or two drives).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When buying a pair of drives for RAID1 (or a larger set for RAID5/6/10) I suggest that you either buy from *different* manufacturers, buy from difference ranges from the same manufacturer, or if you do get the same make+model for all the drives buy them from different distributors. This lowers the risk of all the drives coming from the same bad batch and thereby reducing the risk of them all failing within a short space of time (i.e. the rest of the array failing before you've had chance to replace the dead drive).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Avoid cheap hardware RAID (like that offered by most new motherboards' SATA controllers) though. This is really fake hardware RAID and is a mix of the worst points of hardware and software solutions." />

It goes to **sleep** mode way too early and it has a very **slow spin-up** when returning from sleep mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have not really timed it, but I think it enters sleep mode after about 10-20 minutes of inactivity.  When Windows needed to access the disk, it would take about 10 seconds to spin up -- and that would halt other things (like Windows Explorer) in the process. Even when I am not using the Maxtor, sometimes Windows still needs to poll the disk (such as when an **Open File** dialog starts listing files at **My Computer** which would also probe the external disk), and this slow-down from the Maxtor halts everything until it finishes spinning up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried to find a way to change the configuration of the Maxtor drive, but I could not find any.

Use a lot of those keywords and they could pick you out for further investigations, even without you knowing about. (And using Tor or SSH tunneling would make you more suspicious!)

As you say, when you connect the cable to your speaker only, it starts to generate more noise than usual. That seems to suggest to me that the cable is working like an antenna, picking up random signals and sending these to your speaker. If your mother uses the same speakers and cable, and she lives in the same area as you do, then there might be something in the area that is causing those signals that are picked up by your speakers.&#xD;&#xA;Connecting the cable to the speaker is actually reducing this signal since it's now divided by the computer and speaker.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe you need a cable with better isolation from those external signals. I'm not that big of an expert with this since I never had much problems like this. It could be that you're close to a GSM broadcast antenna and the cable is picking up random noise from it. To check this, try wrapping the cable in single layer of aluminium foil and check if the noise goes down a bit. Or connect the cable to a speaker in another room. If it does, you'll need a newer cable with better isolation. (No, you don't want to keep that cable wrapped in foil!) Such a newer cable might be expensive, though. And it's no guarantee that it will work better, so turning off the boxes with the computer might be a better option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At home, I have a power button next to the outlet which turns on/off the outlets power. I prefer to use that power button to turn off my computer since it also turns off the power to the other devices on my desk. (Monitor, boxes, external harddisk, printer.) It might be the easiest solution in your case. :-)" />

When Windows connects to another computer, it first uses your logon information to authenticate. Normally, the guest account is enabled, which is why most computers won't prompt for a password.

The consistency of failure probably comes from the same portion of memory getting the hottest each time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To fix it, you need to get a.) more cool air into your system, and b.) more hot air out of your system. I list a.) first because it is common for me to see up to 7 fans blowing out of a gaming box, and zero or one blowing in. There needs to be some balance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a hot system, you need at least two fans blowing in, usually one in front and one in the side. You may have to flip the side fan around as many case mfgs bizarrely ship with it installed to blow out. Input fans can run quietly at faster speed because most of the sound goes into the box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can run output fans at lower speed, and have more of them, and/or larger ones, in order to get the airflow you need and still stay quiet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another alternative is to upgrade the cooler on your video card, and/or add heat sinks to the memory of your video card (assuming the memory chips are exposed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, pay attention to airflow within your box. Having a large, flat IDE cable lay across the side of the video card can seriously restrict airflow, or may even reflect hot air vented from the video card cooler right back into its air intake. Liberal use of cable ties, round cable, and careful routing will improve airflow. You goal is to have nothing in between an input fan and the video card." />

Here is the relevant section from the **BASH** manual (`man bash`):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, **bash** reads and executes commands from *˜/.bashrc*, if that ﬁle exists. This may be inhibited by using the **−−norc** option. The **−−rcﬁle** *ﬁle* option will force **bash** to read and execute commands from *ﬁle* instead of *˜/.bashrc*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One can infer from the way this is written (and what it says about how to invoke login shells before this), is that `shell.el` does not invoke a login shell. I've looked for evidence of this in `shell.el` and it seems to be true, **BASH** is invoked with the **-i** flag (interactive) but not the **--login** flag. Non-login shells do read *.bashrc*, so this is why you can work around the problem by putting `source /etc/profile` into *.bashrc*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

You'd also be advised to have a look at this [article](http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/drivers/8100-why-you-should-care-about-pulseaudio-and-how-to-start-doing-it) and other articles on the confusing mess that is the linux audio subsystem before you start.

Using the online service from [web-sniffer.net][2] to reveal the headers you'll get:&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;HTTP/1.1 200 OK&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Date:           Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:47:03 GMT	&#xD;&#xA;Server:         Apache	&#xD;&#xA;Last-Modified:  Mon, 27 Nov 2006 23:38:49 GMT	&#xD;&#xA;ETag:           &quot;758b0606-1a316-4234309151440&quot;	&#xD;&#xA;Accept-Ranges:  bytes	&#xD;&#xA;Content-Length: 107286	&#xD;&#xA;Connection:     close	&#xD;&#xA;Content-Type:   text/html; charset=utf-8 (BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last line seems a bit odd: how can the server claim something to be both UTF-8 and UTF-16? The value for `charset` should be one of those [registered][3] with IANA (so, for example, UTF-8 without any comments). However, using the [Wireshark][4] packet sniffer rather than the online service reveals that the text *(BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)* is in fact a comment from the online service, not sent by the web server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: the web server claims it's going to send us a UTF-8 encoded HTML document.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the HTML document that follows is wrong (edited for readability):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&amp;#xFF;&amp;#xFE;&amp;lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;  &amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;title&gt;Lesson 5&amp;lt;/title&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;link href=&quot;main.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;  &amp;lt;/head&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;...&lt;/pre&gt;    &#xD;&#xA;Above, the line specifying the content type should be the first to appear within the `&lt;head&gt;`, for otherwise the browser wouldn't know how to handle special characters in the `&lt;title&gt;`. More important, the first two odd characters, `ÿþ`, are in fact the hexadecimal codes FF and FE, which like the online service already noted, is the [Byte-Order Mark][5] for UTF-16, litte-endian.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: the web server promised to send UTF-8 but then it sent markers that indicated UTF-16 LE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://taj.chass.ncsu.edu/Hindi.Less.05/dialog%5Fscript.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftaj.chass.ncsu.edu%2FHindi.Less.05%2Fdialog_script.html&amp;http=1.1&amp;type=GET&amp;uak=0&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.wireshark.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark&#xD;&#xA;" />

Either the server or the web pages themselves should specify something, for otherwise all the browser can do is make some best guess. And of course, if an encoding *is* specified, then the HTML document should in fact use that encoding. Not so much for [the web site][1] from the question, as shown below:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To see if the web server specified something one needs to look at the so-called *headers*. Using the online service from [web-sniffer.net][2] to reveal the headers you'll get:&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;HTTP/1.1 200 OK&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Date:           Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:47:03 GMT	&#xD;&#xA;Server:         Apache	&#xD;&#xA;Last-Modified:  Mon, 27 Nov 2006 23:38:49 GMT	&#xD;&#xA;ETag:           &quot;758b0606-1a316-4234309151440&quot;	&#xD;&#xA;Accept-Ranges:  bytes	&#xD;&#xA;Content-Length: 107286	&#xD;&#xA;Connection:     close	&#xD;&#xA;Content-Type:   text/html; charset=utf-8 (BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last line seems a bit odd: how can the server claim something to be both UTF-8 and UTF-16? The value for `charset` should be one of those [registered][3] with IANA (so, for example, UTF-8 without any comments). However, using the [Wireshark][4] packet sniffer rather than the online service reveals that the text *(BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)* is in fact a comment from the online service, not sent by the web server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: the web server claims it's going to send us a UTF-8 encoded HTML document.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the HTML document that follows is wrong (edited for readability):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&amp;#xFF;&amp;#xFE;&amp;lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;  &amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;title&gt;Lesson 5&amp;lt;/title&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;lt;link href=&quot;main.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;  &amp;lt;/head&amp;gt;&#xD;&#xA;...&lt;/pre&gt;    &#xD;&#xA;Above, the line specifying the content type should be the first to appear within the `&lt;head&gt;`, for otherwise the browser wouldn't know how to handle special characters in the `&lt;title&gt;`. More important, the first two odd characters, `ÿþ`, are in fact the hexadecimal codes FF and FE, which like the online service already noted, is the [Byte-Order Mark][5] for UTF-16, litte-endian.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So: the web server promised to send UTF-8 but then it sent markers that indicated UTF-16 LE. Next, in the HTML document, it claims to be using UTF-8 again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Indeed, Wireshark shows that the actual HTML document is UTF-16 encoded. This implies that every character is sent using at least two bytes (octets). Like the 6 characters in `&lt;html&gt;` are sent as the 12 hexadecimal bytes `3C 00 68 00 74 00 6D 00 6C 00 3E 00`. However, this very web site could very well have been plain ASCII, as it doesn't seem to *use* any non-ASCII characters at all. Instead, the HTML source is full of numeric character references ([NCRs][6]), such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;#2351;&amp;#2361; &amp;#2342;&amp;#2367;&amp;#2354;&amp;#2381;&amp;#2354;&amp;#2368;&#xD;&#xA;    &amp;#2358;&amp;#2361;&amp;#2352; &amp;#2361;&amp;#2376;&amp;#2404;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A browser displays the above as &amp;#2351;&amp;#2361; &amp;#2342;&amp;#2367;&amp;#2354;&amp;#2381;&amp;#2354;&amp;#2368; &amp;#2358;&amp;#2361;&amp;#2352; &amp;#2361;&amp;#2376;&amp;#2404;. However, due to using NCRs and UTF-16, the single character &amp;#2351; ([Unicode U+092F][7]) requires as many as 14 bytes in `26 00 23 00 32 00 33 00 35 00 31 00 3B 00`, because it is written using NCR `&amp;#2351;` while the 7 ASCII characters of the NCR itself are encoded using UTF-16. When not using NCRs, in UTF-8 this single &amp;#2351; would require 3 bytes (`E0 A4 AF`), and in UTF-16 two bytes (`09 2F`).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For this HTML source using UTF-16 is a total waste of bandwidth, and the server is not using any compression either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://taj.chass.ncsu.edu/Hindi.Less.05/dialog%5Fscript.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://web-sniffer.net/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftaj.chass.ncsu.edu%2FHindi.Less.05%2Fdialog_script.html&amp;http=1.1&amp;type=GET&amp;uak=0&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.wireshark.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_character_reference&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/092f/" />

For instance, I have one I use normally and one I use for my persistent processes.&#xD;&#xA; - `screen -ls` lists the running screens.&#xD;&#xA; - `screen -r &lt;name&gt;` resumes a detached screen. If the screen is already attached somewhere, use `screen -dr &lt;name&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, when you start using screen, whenever you plan to leave, press `^a d` (= **ctrl-a** followed by a **d**) to detach the screen you're currently running.

I'm not talking about flash drives -- I'm talking good old-fashioned hard drives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, I've used third party tools that are able to defragment more files (MBR on boot, etc) or have more fancy features, and I don't know that it makes a difference in performance either.

Tell your child to NEVER EVER reveal their name, address, phone&#xD;&#xA;&gt; number or any other personal&#xD;&#xA;&gt; information to ANYONE online. Once you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; give out this information, it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; impossible to retract.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    2. Communicate regularly (not just once) with your child about WHAT they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; do online and WHO they talk to online.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have actually met the friends&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they are talking to in person, you'll&#xD;&#xA;&gt; know it is OK for them to chat with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; them online.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    3. Take computers out of children' rooms and put them into public areas&#xD;&#xA;&gt; such as the family room. Many parents&#xD;&#xA;&gt; think they are helping with homework&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by giving the children a computer, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it also opens certain dangers that you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; may be unaware of.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    4. Choose your child's screen name, email address or instant message name&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wisely - don't' reveal ages, sex,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hobbies, and CERTAINLY NOT suggestive&#xD;&#xA;&gt; or sexy names. Predators are more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; likely to pursue a child with the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; screen name &quot;sexyteen5&quot; than&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;happygirl5&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    5. Use technology to help you protect your child. Monitoring&#xD;&#xA;&gt; software gives you the ability to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; review your child's Internet usage.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Even if you don't look at each and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; every email or instant message they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; send, you'll have a good idea if they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are making smart choices online.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.software4parents.com/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://dansguardian.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/questions/4362/how-to-set-up-a-linux-machine-for-childrens-internet-use&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://superuser.com/questions/16504/how-to-help-children-avoid-the-dangers-of-internet" />

So, you are now using two routers. When using [UPnP][3] to allow your software to request to [configure port mappings][4], then Active FTP may in fact work, but using two routers may mess up things a bit. You may also encounter problems for Instant Messaging (or: video or audio during Instant Messaging), or for certain games. What if you plug that computer into the SpeedStream directly, just for a quick test?

In either case, one router should suffice and avoid problems. It' may be a bit hard to get done though.

The noise persists when I disconnect the power cable. &#xD;&#xA; - Finally, the noise doesn't stop *when* I turn the computer on, only sometime during the operating system start-up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, my mom has an identical set of speakers and she has the same noise problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit2: the noise may be described as [hum][2]. It's very similar to the [50Hz example][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://ezpc.co.za/catalog/images/Creative_Inspire21_2400.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MainsBrum50Hz.ogg" />

(For, when using Active FTP, your computer needs to open up ports [to accept incoming traffic][1] as well, which may be blocked by the router/modem. Not all servers like clients that use Passive FTP though.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: Even using Passive FTP may yield problems because routers often rely on [NAT][2], which changes ports on the fly. However, the FTP protocol uses PORT and PASV commands, which tells the other side which ports are being used. Here, the router messes up when changing the ports. So, a good router must know that it is handling FTP and actually change the PORT and PASV commands to make up for the port changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A DSL modem often has [a router][6] built-in, though it may not have [a switch][7] (or, a hub in the old days) in the same housing as well. So, a DSL modem often supports multiple computers, but needs an additional switch to actually allow for connecting multiple wired computers. Just counting the ethernet ports does not tell one if a device is a router or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [the user manual][3], the Siemens SpeedStream 4200-Series has a built-in router. So, you are now using two routers. When using [UPnP][4] to allow your software to request to [configure port mappings][5], then FTP may in fact work, but using two routers may mess up things a bit. You may also encounter problems for Instant Messaging (or: video or audio during Instant Messaging), or for certain games. (Note that enabling UPnP may also allow trojan horses (or viruses) to request port mappings, so if not really required one could leave it to &quot;off&quot;, or to some safe settings like &quot;discovery only&quot;.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Like MarkM [suggested][8] you may be able to put the first router into &quot;bridge mode&quot;. That kind of connects your second router to the internet directly. When using the router-functionality of the first router, then you can set up the second router in &quot;bridge mode&quot; instead. In either case, one router should suffice and avoid problems. It may be a bit hard to get done though. To ensure your friend did not leave some undocumented configurations in the SpeedStream, considering resetting it to factory settings as well.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.modemsupport.com.au/4x-UM_007-4035-001_1274276.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Gateway_Device_Protocol&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://superuser.com/questions/23901/ive-just-started-to-use-a-new-modem-and-now-all-my-ftp-clients-wont-work/23931#23931" />

Then enable one gadget and use it for some time and keep a look at the cpu and ram usage. When it's ok start over with the next gadget. This way you should be able to find out which of the chosen gadgets waste system ressources and you can sort them out. Sadly many of those useful gadgets are not well coded and those are the ones that slow down the system. Keep in mind, too, that having a lot of real time monitoring gadgets enabled always slows down the system. I never use more than two of those." />

The machine doesn't have a &quot;hard&quot; switch to turn the WiFi adapter on or off but you can toggle this using Fn+F11, and there's a status LED that turns on/off to indicate the adapter is on.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem we are finding is that any time the machine is restarted/shutdown/put into sleep mode, the WiFi adapter will turn off.  Pressing Fn+F11 will immediately turn it back on again once the machine has booted back up into Vista, but we'd rather this wasn't necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I've already tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Going through all the settings for the network connection in Vista - nothing there about turning the adapter on/off.&#xD;&#xA; - I have checked the BIOS - no options for the wireless adapter there.&#xD;&#xA; - Power Configuration - I've told it to use &quot;Maximum Performance&quot; settings for the wireless.&#xD;&#xA; - I've examined the adapter's options in Device Manager - there's nothing there for power options.  &#xD;&#xA; - When the adapter is turned &quot;off&quot;, it does NOT show as disabled in Device Manager - so I'm guessing it is enabled, just powered down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm at a complete loss where else these settings might be!  Clearly something is handling the Fn+F11 keypress, so it seems crazy that those settings aren't configurable to keep the adapter turned on somewhere...  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Few more pieces of information: the machine is from a local company called [Novatech][1], and I think it's a Clevo notebook chassis.  It's running Vista Home Premium, and the wireless adapter is a Realtek device - afraid I can't provide model numbers as I don't have it with me at the moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would greatly appreciate any tips or advice!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/laptop/range/xplorae16.html" />

Text="That's a job for Applescript. Here are some posts that have code you can use in writing a more general one that will accomplish what you want to do. Basically, you'll have to figure out which applications have open windows and then apply your tiling algorithm to them in turn.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[http://blog.slaunchaman.com/2008/05/20/resize-your-windows-automatically-for-different-resolutions/][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[http://www.ithug.com/2008/12/applescript-arranging-multiple-windows/][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[http://www.vicky.com.np/mediawiki/index.php/Tile_Terminal_Windows_Using_AppleScript][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is worth adding that Apple seems to take a different view of how to handle the problem of windows on the screen. Rather than keeping them organized through some tiling system, they provide &quot;search&quot; instead. If you need to find a particular application or window, you hit F9 for Exposé, which will miniaturize all the open windows and show them all to you at once so you can choose the one you want. If you need all the windows of a particular application, you hit F10, which will pull the windows of the active application out of the pile of windows on your desktop and place them on top of the pile. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Not everyone likes this, or understands that these are the tools that Apple suggests you use, so you get the more typical (Windows and Linux) way of handling open windows added on by third parties. Look at it as Apple being intransigent about &quot;Thinking Different&quot;, sort of like the one-button mouse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also followed this &quot;search&quot; paradigm in organizing most of my files. The only file/folder organization I keep in my home folder is directories for document types and I use Spotlight to find them. I first tried this out as an experiment when Spotlight appeared with Tiger and found that with the Spotlight improvements in Leopard that it actually does work (Spotlight was too slow and imprecise in Tiger). I keep current projects on the desktop, and once they are no longer active, they go into the &quot;archive&quot;. It works well. I have tons of pdfs, etc to work with, and I almost never spend time poking around for the document I wanted among the results. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Getting back to the window question, in Leopard, between the virtual desktops (Spaces; I typically use 9 spaces at a time) and Exposé, I haven't felt the need to go with a more traditional window tiling system. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blog.slaunchaman.com/2008/05/20/resize-your-windows-automatically-for-different-resolutions/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.ithug.com/2008/12/applescript-arranging-multiple-windows/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.vicky.com.np/mediawiki/index.php/Tile_Terminal_Windows_Using_AppleScript" />

I like it because it's very lightweight compared to a standalone edition, especially of system such as Ubuntu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Colinux is currently single-core only, newest VirtualBox supports multicore (if your CPU has VT-x).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Graphics can be tricky. If you use Colinux with simple X11 forwarding (connecting it to a Windows X-server like Xming - I believe this is what andLinux and Portable Ubuntu do), you get a nice 'seamless mode' - Linux applications run alongside Windows ones, not in separate window; you don't need a separate window manager - but it isn't as responsive as VM would be. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also set up a VNC server in the guest and log in from the host. No seamless mode, but it's more responsive and can be overall more comfortable. Still no chance of 3D acceleration, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Due to not having to run X/window manager/various daemons, Colinux is noticeably lighter on RAM. I believe it's also faster, but I haven't tested much.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've succeeded in running the same Arch installation (from a separate partition) both in Colinux and natively - look [here](http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Dual_boot_system) for details on such installation. However, I think VirtualBox can do that too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be aware that you can't use both at the same time - Colinux refuses to run alongside a VM." />

Synergy also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; merges the clipboards of all the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; systems into one, allowing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cut-and-paste between systems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Furthermore, it synchronizes screen&#xD;&#xA;&gt; savers so they all start and stop&#xD;&#xA;&gt; together and, if screen locking is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, only one screen requires a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; password to unlock them all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another free software (only for Windows):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Input Director][3]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director is a Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; application that lets you control&#xD;&#xA;&gt; multiple Windows systems using the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard/mouse attached to one&#xD;&#xA;&gt; computer. It is designed for folks who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have two (or more) computers set up at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; home and find themselves regularly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sliding from one system to the other&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (and wearing out the carpet in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; process!). &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With Input Director, you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can share a single keyboard/mouse&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across a set of systems. You switch&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which system receives the input either&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by hotkey or by moving the cursor so&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that it transitions from one screen to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the other (in a very similar fashion&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to a multi-monitor setup). The idea&#xD;&#xA;&gt; being that you can position the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; monitors from two or more systems in a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; row and use a shared keyboard/mouse to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; control all of them. Input Director&#xD;&#xA;&gt; also supports a &quot;shared&quot; clipboard, in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which you can copy data onto the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clipboard on one system, transition&#xD;&#xA;&gt; across to another and paste.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Input Director requires Windows 2000&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Service Pack 4), Windows XP (Service&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pack 2), Windows 2003, Windows Vista,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 2008 or Windows 7. The systems&#xD;&#xA;&gt; must be networked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See [this blog post][4] which explains some differences between the two programs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a hardware solution as well, so called [KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches][5]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;A KVM switch is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse. Although multiple computers are connected to the KVM, typically a smaller number of computers can be controlled at any given time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.inputdirector.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://nshorter.com/blog/?p=283&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch" />

I've included them in my answer to give it context. I followed these instructions to the letter in Australia when I bought my Acer Aspire One (I installed both Windows 7 Beta, 10.5.4 Leopard OSX Hackintosh and FreeBSD on it - but never Windows Vista that came with it) Also the article includes confirmation of refunds in both US and UK too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I received a cheque for $66.71 from Microsoft, I live in Melbourne, Australia.  (I was really surprised to see the cheque was FedEx'ed to me from the US too)  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How to get a Windows tax refund**  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you buy a computer, you often pay for Microsoft Windows even if you didn't ask for it and aren't going to use it. This article shows you how to return your unused Windows license and get your money back, freeing yourself from the Windows tax. &#xD;&#xA;I recently purchased a new laptop computer from Dell. As a GNU/Linux user and believer in Free Software, I knew from the start that I wasn't going to run Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately, Dell didn't offer this laptop with Ubuntu or a no-OS option, so I tried getting my Windows refund from Dell after the purchase. After working with customer service, I received a refund of $52.50. In the course of getting my refund, I found some techniques worked better than others. By knowing what works, you may be able to get your refund quickly and easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Be prepared and set realistic expectations*&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Before you go down this route, be prepared. Getting your Windows refund may take several hours of work, after which you'll get a small amount of money -- nowhere near the full retail price of Windows on the store shelf. Though your win may be more of a victory for principle than your pocketbook, it is possible to win, and you'll have made an important stand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Getting a Windows refund only works if your computer is new. If you've booted into Windows once and hit the Accept button at the end of the Microsoft EULA, you're disqualified. Ideally you'll plan on getting your Windows refund before placing your order with the vendor. If you are ordering a new machine, first call the vendor to see if they offer a no-OS option. If they do, use it. If the machine does not come without an installed OS and you have to buy Windows, purchase the lowest-end Windows that you can. In my case, that meant buying the computer with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When your computer arrives, document each step of unloading your computer. I took a tip from UK reporter Dave Mitchell, who received a Windows refund from Dell, and took pictures of myself at each step of the process, including opening the box and each and every page of the Microsoft EULA. I zoomed in on the relevant section about returning the license to the vendor. I also zoomed in on the radio button which says &quot;Do Not Accept&quot; and showed myself rejecting the license. This will add some time to your initial computer use, but is proof that you read and rejected the license. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before you make the call, have everything you need in front of you. You should have all the details of your order, including the order number, date purchased, and even your credit card number. You should have the computer's serial number and, in the case of Dell, its Express Service Code. Later in the process, you may need your Windows Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. It's on the holographic label usually found on the bottom of the laptop. You might find it easier to just have the laptop itself handy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll also want to have the text of the EULA ready. You probably don't need the entire thing, but the specific wording about returning Windows to the vendor may become key.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, you're going to want to have a pen and paper ready. If your phone is wireless, you'll want to be sure it's fully charged, and keep a beverage handy -- you could be on the phone a while.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Preparing for the call* &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By this time in the process, you're probably itching to get on the phone, get on your soapbox, and get your refund. Resist the urge. Remember that you're looking to exercise a legal right. You're not going to change anyone's mind about Free Software, and any extra time you spend in the process only takes you further from your goal. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be polite. A customer service representative is used to handling dozens of issues a day, but your issue is going to be outside the norm. The person on the other end of the phone is your representation on the company's side, so you want to keep him or her as happy as possible. Don't get angry, don't yell, don't be rude. If things become tense, disarm the situation with kindness, and, if it's appropriate, a joke.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You will be put on hold. Dell is fairly good about not leaving folks on hold (especially business customers), but I was put on hold a number of times. There's nothing you can do about it, so just be polite and accept it. What you're asking for is so unusual that they'll probably need to call supervisors. Let them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Expect excuses. They're going to look for ways not to give you the refund. After all, they've never heard of this, so it must be impossible. My first customer service rep said that he couldn't refund my license because I wasn't charged for it. If you hear something like this, don't be discouraged, and don't take it as the final word. I'll tell you how to counter these sorts of arguments in a moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't argue, escalate. If you find you're not getting anywhere with your customer service representative, or you're going over the same point several times, it's time to escalate. Remember our previous guideline of not being rude. You can ask to be transferred without making it into a confrontation. Be sympathetic: &quot;I see that you're trying your best, but that you're not able to do anything else for me. Would it be possible for you to transfer me to someone else?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be persistent. You'll probably have to speak with several people, repeat yourself, and hear lots of excuses about how you're not entitled to what you're asking for. You're in the right, and as long as you're in the pipeline, you're making progress. When you're not making any more progress, escalate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't settle. At several points in my communications with customer service, I was offered coupons, even in excess of what I was asking for, but coupons aren't money. Politely explain that you're looking for a refund in cash (or credit back to your credit card).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Use the precedents. If you're in the UK, you can mention reporter Dave Mitchell as someone whose already received a Windows refund. If you're in the US, you can use me. If they've given refunds to the two of us, why not you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During the call, you may find that the customer service representative will come back to you with several excuses about why you're not entitled to your refund. I've compiled a list of them, some which I heard and others which I didn't, and good responses to them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;You can't return the operating system because the computer can't work without it.&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the easiest argument to counter. Explain that you run GNU/Linux (or FreeBSD, or whatever operating system you've replaced Windows with).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;You didn't pay anything for Windows.&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the price of Windows was included in the price of the computer, they may try to argue that you didn't pay anything for it. This one is easy to debunk. Windows costs money -- everyone knows that. Once you establish that Windows does indeed cost money (and you can't get it for free) then the only remaining issue is how much you paid. Since Microsoft contracts out with hardware vendors, there's no actual way to know how much Windows costs a given retailer. This being the case, I was asking for the price of an OEM copy of Windows XP Home SP2 that I found on Newegg, which was $89. In the end they gave me $52.50. I don't know if this is really how much Windows costs, but it's a non-trivial amount and I can well imagine that one of the world's largest computer makers can get a good deal on Windows licenses from Microsoft.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;You bought the bundle.&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They may tell your purchase was a bundle, that Windows came on the computer as a packaged set and you can't return one without the other. What you have on your side to counter this is the license itself, which says that you may choose to not accept the license and return it to the vendor. No matter what they say regarding a bundle, the legal wording of the license is clear. I heard the B word several times, and each time I explained the terms of the license to them, with the license wording at hand in case I needed to quote it verbatim. If the customer representative tries to cut the conversation short saying it's a bundle, stay polite, but explain that the license is quite clear and that you're just going by the legal wording and exercising your right to return the operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;How about a coupon?&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was offered coupons several times. I'm guessing that coupons are easy to give to customers as a way to keep them happy. While you're rejecting the coupons, realize that this is a small victory. All you have to do at that point is ask for cash.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;You need to return the CD.&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a condition to getting my Windows refund, I was required to give the COA key to the customer representative and return the Windows CD itself. Dell was kind enough to pay for shipping of the CD, so all I had to pay for was the envelope. Your vendor may not be as generous regarding the shipping, but by this time, you've won.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You win - or not &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're not working with Dell, you may not have the same success. In this case, you might need to take another tack. Small claims court may be an option. You file paperwork with the court, pay a small fee, and show up in court with all your documentation. You'll need to make your case quickly and succinctly. You may also want to contact the Better Business Bureau for help. Many reputable businesses take the BBB seriously and may be more willing to work with you after it has contacted them. In any case, you'll be spending time and money to resolve the issue, but so will the vendor, so they're likely to look for an amiable solution as quickly as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To summarize:&#xD;&#xA; - You're only eligible for a refund on new computers&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Document everything&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Be prepared&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Be polite&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Be persistent&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Be gracious&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you follow these guidelines, you're likely to come out with a working computer without the Windows tax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would be remiss if I did not offer a special thank you to Dell. Despite my initial difficulties, Dell eventually came through. After hearing stories on the Net about folks having to bring their vendor to small claims court, I'm happy I picked a company with reasonable policies and people. I especially want to thank Seema, the floor manager who worked with me on my case and offered me the refund. " />

If the upload is set too high it will slow down the downloads since they need to use some upload capacity for requests.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S.

What typically happens is that if you choose not to format it moves everything in existing Windows folders (Program Files, Users etc) into a folder called Windows.old.

If I try to remove something from the Program Files folder, it tells me I need permissions from Trusted Installer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I change the owner of the file, I still get the error &quot;You require permissions from [owner]&quot;.  It definitely seems like a bug because even if I make myself the owner, I still get the error.  I've found one way around this by removing inherited permissions, changing the owner and permissions and propagating the changes down to all the children (starting at the root).  Sometimes it works for groups of folders, other times I have to do it individually per file.  Either way, I don't think it's a good workaround because it requires me to make permission changes to entire folders, rather than just the files I wish to edit/remove.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone know of a fix to this problem?" />

A couple of the fans came on and that was it.  I started freaking out thinking I had somehow fried the motherboard.  Pulled out the new graphics card and tried it again, still nothing.  Began reseting the BIOS, pulling the CMOS battery, anything I could think of with no results.  Several hours later, my wife mentions she saw my two year old daughter playing behind the box.

I currently have an HP TouchSmart tablet convertible running Vista and I love it. I can use my fingers or the included pen. But what I really love about having Vista on my tablet is that that it already has a lot of great utilities and gesture recognition that makes using the convertible as a table a breeze. If you were to use XP instead of Vista or 7, you would need to use separate applications to get the same feature set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you might have some problems with Chrome and gestures. Although I tend to use Firefox more then Chrome regularly, I've been forced to use it more in my tablet because Chrome does not recognize the the scroll up/down gestures. Sure, it's not a big thing, but I do find that doing the gestures for scrolling to be far more natural then using the scroll bar in a touch interface. " />

Within one week of requesting a refund from Dell, the customer received a &quot;goodwill&quot; refund of GBP £47 (£55.23 including tax) from Dell for a &quot;no Windows&quot; option, as the copy of the system was an &quot;unused product&quot; according to the software license agreement. Dell had not asked for the installation medium to be returned and commented that although it doesn't have a Windows refund program, giving a refund in an individual case isn't forbidden either.[13][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;In the same period, also a Switzerland man received a refund of about CHF 150 from Dell. Laptop model and procedure was the same.[15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;A French court ruled Acer to refund the purchase price of preinstalled laptop software, of which was €135.20 for Windows XP Home.[16] In a civil suit Italian court rejected HP's argument that the licensing conditions had been set unilaterally by Microsoft and ruled HP to reimburse customer the amount of €90 for unused Windows XP bundled with Compaq notebook.[17] The court was of the opinion that HP had to know about the conditions, because they most likely constituted part of the agreement between them and Microsoft. It also found the fact that computers without an operating system are available on the market to be irrelevant. According to Süddeutsche Zeitung, a German Dell customer replaced the preinstalled Windows with Linux and had been credited the amount of €78 for operating system and a further unspecified Microsoft program.[17] According to ynetnews, an Israeli Dell customer received a refund of $137 for an unused Windows Vista, after filing a small court claim. As it was reported[18] a Russian customer received refund from BenQ as of $73.90 for unused preinstalled copy of Microsoft Windows Vista. It took him approximately 4 months. In July 2008, an American HP customer from Hawaii was able to receive a $200 refund from HP for unused Windows Vista, after going through a lot of time consuming interactions with HP representatives.[19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_refund" />

What typically happens is that if you choose not to format it moves everything in existing Windows folders (Program Files, Users etc) into a folder called Windows.old.  Then it creates new Windows folders and assigns Admin/System/TrustedInstaller permissions to them so that a regular user can't go about messing with system files/installed applications.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've done this several times before with previous versions but with version 7600 I've encountered a problem that prevents me from deleting/changing anything in those folders even though I'm an Administrator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Eg.  If I try to remove something from the Program Files folder, it tells me I need permissions from Trusted Installer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I change the owner of the file, I still get the error &quot;You require permissions from [owner]&quot;.  It definitely seems like a bug because even if I make myself the owner, I still get the error.  I've found one way around this by removing inherited permissions, changing the owner and permissions and propagating the changes down to all the children (starting at the root).  Sometimes it works for groups of folders, other times I have to do it individually per file.  Either way, I don't think it's a good workaround because it requires me to make permission changes to entire folders, rather than just the files I wish to edit/remove.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone know of a fix to this problem?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[edit:  Installing &quot;over&quot; a previous version is not the same as an &quot;upgrade&quot;.

For the full protection of your computer, the file rtvscan.exe runs continuously in order to check every file that enters your system. Aside from scanning and notifying the user about virus infections, it also logs or saves a report every time it performs a scan.

A can of worms!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My personal take on it, is that free software does not offer any better or worse solution than any commercial product. With that in mind, I have a low opinion of security software on the whole; for many reasons. I believe that many of these 'security companies' prey on people who are lacking the fundamentals of computer knowledge and sensibility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Computers don't get compromised on their own. If you plug into a router that has NAT, it is next to impossible. The only time you're going to get stuff floating on in is when you connect the machine outside of the NAT, in the DMZ. In other words, nothing bad is just going to float on in **unless a user makes it happen**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Software firewalls are a rubbish, CPU hogging idea. A software firewall can only at it's best do a mediocre job of protection, and nine times out of ten it's generating all sorts of alarming false positives from basic Windows Services. People get paranoid, and start blocking everything, then start cursing Microsoft (or &quot;M$&quot; as they're likely to call it) when they do get hit by a virus, probably from something they downloaded.  Oh, and by the way, your software firewall is made redundant by a NAT router. Since that filters all traffic first. And don't get me started on using the firewall to block applications from calling home. That's a whole 'nother can, right there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. Antivirus Applications are only good for two things - incoming mail scanning, and scanning on demand of certain files. (Like, the stuff you download). I know that malware just doesn't float on in, so the only way any of my machines will get infected is if a **user makes it happen**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're **serious** about computer security:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Get a [proper browser][1].&#xD;&#xA;2. If you don't know, don't click.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know heaps of people that follow this philosophy, and don't even have anything beyond a basic email scanning antivirus (like AVG or ClaimWin). Remember that stuff just doesn't float on in, **a user makes it happen**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.google.com/chrome" />

It works if you open a link, with Opera already opened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This opening link from a closed Opera worked with the 9.x versions, so I guess it will work again, it's only a temporary bug during beta. In general, this problem happens too if you try to click a link in some other software, when it will require Opera to open, it won't work on first try.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, what you can do is to write in Launchy your Weby request ; it will open Opera, without your wanted link ; call launchy again and press enter directly, to send again the same request ; this time it will work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that this is a temporary issue from Opera beta, and will most likely be fixed in the final version." />

Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; PowerShell 2.0 was released with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It is going to be backported to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; previous supported platforms Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2008.[4]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows PowerShell integrates with the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft .NET Framework and provides&#xD;&#xA;&gt; an environment to perform&#xD;&#xA;&gt; administrative tasks by execution of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cmdlets (pronounced commandlets),&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which are specialized .NET classes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; implementing a particular operation;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; scripts, which are compositions of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cmdlets along with imperative logic;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; executables, which are standalone&#xD;&#xA;&gt; applications; or by instantiating&#xD;&#xA;&gt; regular .NET classes.[5][2] These work&#xD;&#xA;&gt; by accessing data in different data&#xD;&#xA;&gt; stores, like the filesystem or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; registry, which are made available to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the PowerShell runtime via Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; PowerShell providers.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows PowerShell also provides a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hosting mechanism with which the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows PowerShell runtime can be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; embedded inside other applications,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which can then leverage Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; PowerShell functionality to implement&#xD;&#xA;&gt; certain operations, including those&#xD;&#xA;&gt; exposed via the graphical interface.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This capability has been utilized by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft Exchange Server 2007[5][3]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to expose its management functionality&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as PowerShell cmdlets and providers&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and implement the graphical management&#xD;&#xA;&gt; tools as PowerShell hosts which invoke&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the necessary cmdlets. Other Microsoft&#xD;&#xA;&gt; applications including Microsoft SQL&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Server 2008[8] also expose their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; management interface via PowerShell&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cmdlets. In the future, graphical&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interface-based management&#xD;&#xA;&gt; applications on Windows will be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; layered on top of Windows PowerShell.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows PowerShell includes its own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; extensive, console-based help,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reminiscent of man pages in Unix&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shells via the Get-Help cmdlet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Searching Stackoverflow using [this search][4] I've found the following:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [What is Windows PowerShell?][5] &#xD;&#xA; - [How to get started with PowerShell?][6]&#xD;&#xA; - [How do you use PowerShell?][7]&#xD;&#xA; - [PowerShell Tips &amp; Tricks for Developers][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again on serverfault using [this search][9] I've found the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Powershell?

There are other free firewalls that people like, such as [Comodo][9].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the **spyware** front, [AdAware][10] and [Spybot Search &amp; Destroy][11] are free and highly recommended.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For malware, [MalwareBytes][12] is good and free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for **suites**, [Microsoft Security Essentials][7] supposed to be very good (given feedback on their beta), but is isn't released yet.

The changes will go live immediately &gt;after you exit the [S]elect screen.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Note:** People have found issues with the *aptitude hold* command, so imho you should prefer the dpkg command to hold the package. Alternatively, you could hold the package via the Synaptic package manager GUI interface (Package &gt; Lock Version). My preference is to use dpkg because it has worked well for me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You already have a good answer for the rest so I'll not venture my opinion on those. &#xD;&#xA;" />

Here's how it's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; done:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    1. Power off the virtual machine.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    2. Add a new HDD to the virtual machine with the new size that you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; need to expand to. (Note: the new HDD&#xD;&#xA;&gt; {Virtual device node - ide/scsi} type&#xD;&#xA;&gt; should be configured same as source&#xD;&#xA;&gt; HDD)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    3. Create a Norton Ghost dos boot floppy, by clicking on: Ghost&#xD;&#xA;&gt; utilities &gt; Norton ghost boot wizard &gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; standard ghost boot disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    4. Power on the virtual machine and boot using the newly created ghost&#xD;&#xA;&gt; boot disk.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    5. When the virtual machine boots and starts the Ghost application,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; select the Local disk-to-disk option.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    6. Select the first drive (the existing smaller HDD) as the source&#xD;&#xA;&gt; disk and second drive (the newly added&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bigger HDD) as destination disk.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    7. Ghost will now transfer your existing data to the new HDD that you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have defined.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    8. Power off the virtual machine when Ghost completes its process of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; copying, and remove the floppy disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from the floppy drive.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    9. Now using the VMware Configuration Editor, remove the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; smaller HDD and power on the virtual&#xD;&#xA;&gt; machine. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The above steps can be used for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; increasing disk sizes of SCSI to SCSI&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and ide to ide HDD. Remember that your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; old smaller HDD disk file still exists&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the host machine, and it may need&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to be deleted manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/virtual_disks.html" />

I later found out that they only work when pressing the &quot;`fn`&quot; button above the arrow keys on the keyboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is not usable, so I'm trying to undo the effects of my very-smart, highly-intelligent (`&lt;/sarcasm&gt;`) choices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've tried manually uninstalling the Keyboard drivers from the Device Manager in Windows.

We&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will use a temporary raw format disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; image that will be appended on to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; end of your existing raw format disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; image. The size of this temporary&#xD;&#xA;&gt; image is the size the existing image&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will be expanded by:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     qemu-img create -f raw temp.img 300M&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You should then issue the below&#xD;&#xA;&gt; command - orig.img is your existing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; raw format image that you want to make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; larger, temp.img is the temporary&#xD;&#xA;&gt; image file created earlier, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new.img is the resized resultant&#xD;&#xA;&gt; image:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     copy /b orig.img+temp.img new.img&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You will then need to repartition and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resize the existing partition(s) and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; filesystem(s) on the new image.

If you are going to try another PSU make sure the connections match the current unit and the the watts are the same or in the same neighborhood.

I started with the cheapest PC under my desk running FreeBSD, then moved to an industrial strength server running Fedora Core OS, then a recycled old laptop with Ubuntu Server, then a hacked Linksys NAS with custom firmware and a bunch of packages for a web server, ftp, etc. In the end, I settled on a vanilla consumer-grade NAS (Network-Attached Storage) and I supplement it with various services &quot;from the Cloud&quot;. I use Google Apps to store and share documents, calendars and to host email, for example. I use Google AppEngine to host my many websites (it requires programming skills, check out Google Sites or any number of blog hosting services if you do not want to learn programming). I use http://rsync.net and MobileMe for offsite backup (there's also Mozy and many other services that are easier to use than rsync, for example). I use del.icio.us for bookmarks, flickr.com to store and share images, and so on and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All this is to say that unless you have a copious amounts of free time to invest into building and maintaining your own infrastructure, you'd be better off my going with the hosted services. Yes, it often costs money (albeit usually not much) and privacy is always a concern, but you won't have to spend your weekends in the &quot;server closet&quot; in your basement trying to patch your crashed media server just so your wife could watch the latest episode of &quot;Project Runway&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The NAS that is my &quot;home server&quot; now: Western Digital MyBook World Edition NAS.&#xD;&#xA;" />

That means that you make a request, and get a response, and your next request knows nothing about your previous request.  To overcome this limitation, most web applications use &quot;cookies&quot;.  Cookies are small pieces of data that the server (stackoverflow.com) tells the web browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) to remember.  As long as the cookie exists and is valid (cookies have a timeout), the browser is obligated to send the cookie with any request to the server.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the web server sends your browser a cookie with which to track your session, and your browser sends that cookie to the server with each request, identifying the request as part of your session.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you clear private data (particularly, when you clear cookies) you delete the session cookie.  The next time you connect to the server, your browser has no session information to send, and the server assumes you're in a new session.  Since you haven't logged in to this new session, the server gives you an anonymous, non-logged in session, and provides you with a non-logged-in page.  You then have to log in to get the new session.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if you don't want to lose your session, you either have to find some way to back up the stackoverflow cookie (I don't know how you'd do this, off the top of my head), delete only the other cookies (again, I don't know how you'd do this one) or you have to not delete any cookies.

Go to http://www.meadroid.com/neptune/ and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; click D-LOAD to install the software.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. After it is done installing, open the folder C:\Program Files\MeadCo&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Neptune. You will see a file called&#xD;&#xA;&gt; npmeadax.dll.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Right-click and copy npmeadax.dll.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. Open the following folder (enter your Windows username where it says&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [$username]):&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; * In XP -- C:\Documents and Settings\[$username]\Local&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Settings\Application&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Google\Chrome\User&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Default\Plugin Data\&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; * In Vista -- C:\Users\[$username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Default\Plugin Data&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Paste npmeadax.dll into this folder.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. Click Start --&gt; Run.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. Type cmd and press enter. A black and white window will pop up with C:\&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and a blinking cursor.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. Type the following command starting with cd and including the quotation&#xD;&#xA;&gt; marks and press enter (enter your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows username where it says&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [$username]):&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; * In XP -- cd &quot;C:\Documents and Settings\[$username]\Local&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Settings\Application&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Google\Chrome\User&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Default\Plugin Data&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; * In Vista -- cd &quot;C:\Users\[$username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Data\Default\Plugin Data&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you do it currectly then that long&#xD;&#xA;&gt; string of the folder path will appear&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in front of the &gt; character next to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the blinking cursor.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. Type dir and press enter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 9. You should see npmeadax.dll in the list on the right (probably listed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; under Google Gears). If you don't see&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it, then you didn't copy it correctly.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Go back and copy it again.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 10. Type regsvr32 npmeadax.dll and press enter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 11. You should receive a message saying that it was successful. Click&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ok.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 12. Go into Google Chrome.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 13. Turn on the bookmark bar by typing CTRL+B while in Google Chrome (if it's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; not on already).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 14. Create a bookmarklet by dragging the text in the box below to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; toolbar:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Code:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; javascript:(function (){var&#xD;&#xA;&gt; lh=location.href; if( !lh ||&#xD;&#xA;&gt; lh.match(/^(javascript|about):/i)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; )return; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; document.write('&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;'+(document.title?document.title:lh).replace(/&lt;/g,'&lt;').replace(/&gt;/g,'&gt;')+'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - using Internet Explorer rendering&lt;\/title&gt;&lt;\/head&gt;&lt;body&#xD;&#xA;&gt; style=\'margin:0px;padding:0px;\'&gt;&lt;script&#xD;&#xA;&gt; type=\'text/javascript\'&gt;var script =&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document.createElement(\'script\');&#xD;&#xA;&gt; var embed = \'&lt;embed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; type=\\\'application\/x-meadco-neptune-ax\\\'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; width=\\\'100\x25\\\'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; height=\\\'100\x25\\\'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; param-location=\\\'' + lh +&#xD;&#xA;&gt; '\\\'&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;\';&#xD;&#xA;&gt; script.setAttribute(\'src\',\'data:text/javascript,document.write(embed);\');&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document.body.appendChild(script);&lt;\/script&gt;&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;');&#xD;&#xA;&gt; })();&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The default name will be &quot;Untitled&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; but you probably want to rename it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; something like &quot;IE Tab.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 15. Go to a website that only works with IE, click your IE Tab button, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; try it out!&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Hope this helps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Klliopatra Last edited by klliopatra;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 04-17-2009 at 12:07 AM..

You will&#xD;&#xA;   need it to set up your client devices.&#xD;&#xA;  SAVE&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Configuration: (con’t)Services -&gt; Services&#xD;&#xA;  These settings are optional however&#xD;&#xA;   I had to make these changes to &#xD;&#xA;   make my system work.&#xD;&#xA;  DNSMasq:  Disable&#xD;&#xA;  ttraff Daemon:  Disable&#xD;&#xA;  SAVE&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Configuration: (con’t)Administration -&gt; Management&#xD;&#xA;  (Recommended) Info Site Password&#xD;&#xA;   Protection:  Enabled&#xD;&#xA;  SAVE&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Installation&#xD;&#xA;  Unhook your wireless access point.&#xD;&#xA;  Plug your primary router back in.&#xD;&#xA;  Set up your WAP where you are &#xD;&#xA;   going to be using it.   &#xD;&#xA;  I have mine behind my TV.  &#xD;&#xA;  Connect any LAN wires you need &#xD;&#xA;   to connect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Installation (con’t)&#xD;&#xA;  Now it is time to setup your clients &#xD;&#xA;   to your WAP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  I chose to set mine up with static &#xD;&#xA;   addresses so I would know what &#xD;&#xA;   is what.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  My settings are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Xbox: 192.168.1.20&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wii:    192.168.1.21&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;DirecTV: 192.168.1.35&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I add anymore games, I would put them in the 192.168.1.2X range.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Installation (con’t)&#xD;&#xA;  Next, you will need to set your Default&#xD;&#xA;   Gateway to the IP address of your&#xD;&#xA;   primary router.  192.168.1.1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   You will also need to setup the DNS&#xD;&#xA;    address.  If you have  COX, it will be&#xD;&#xA;    something like 68.105.29.11.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Finishing Up&#xD;&#xA;  Now it is time to test.  &#xD;&#xA;  Hopefully everything works on the first&#xD;&#xA;   try.  However, that usually isn’t the &#xD;&#xA;   case with these kinds of home projects.&#xD;&#xA;  This is how I made  mine work.  Yours &#xD;&#xA;   may take a little finesse to make it &#xD;&#xA;   happen.&#xD;&#xA;  Also, make sure to pick up your mess.  &#xD;&#xA;   I know at this point I had things moved and&#xD;&#xA;   wires everywhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I've purchased DSL service through AT&amp;T, paying for speeds &quot;up to&quot; 768 Kbps downstream / 384 Kbps upstream.  My issue is, the connection speed on the DSL is very slow -- the DSL modem connects at 224 Kbps downstream / 128 Kbps upstream, as reported by the modem's own built-in control panel applet (accessible at the internal IP http://192.168.0.1/).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, my brother-in-law, living 9 doors down on the same street (and further from the local CO -- if the CO map at dslreports.com is to be believed), connects at a much more comfortable 1.5 Mbps downstream / 384 Kbps upstream.  He has the same service from AT&amp;T (although he's paying extra for the 1.5 Mbps service).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure whether it matters, but I have a &quot;dry&quot; DSL connection -- DSL service only, no phone service.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've tried the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Switching modems.  I actually tried borrowing my brother-in-law's modem, that connects at 1.5 Mbps from his house; replacing that modem with the one at my house, it also connects at 224 Kbps.  Both modems are the same model (Siemens SpeedStream 4100).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Connecting the modem directly to the phone jack on the outside of the house (to rule out the possibility of bad wiring inside the house).  No change, the modem still connects at 224 Kbps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Switching phone cables.  No change.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure what else to try.  I did contact A&amp;T; they informed me that they consider a connection speed of 224 Kbps to be &quot;acceptable&quot; for a customer paying for 768 Kbps service.  Interestingly, AT&amp;T did inform me that 1.5 Mbps service isn't even available at my location, based on an on-site test they performed recently (presumably of signal strength / quality).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, my question has two parts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(1) **Why is my DSL connection speed so much slower (more than 6x slower!) than the service my brother-in-law is getting, when we're located in almost the same location (9 doors down on the same street)?**  (If the reason is that my DSL signal is weaker and/or poorer quality, then *why* might that be the case?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(2) **Is there anything I can do to improve the situation, short of dropping the DSL service** (and paying significantly more money for cable)?  The 224 Kbps connection speed is okay for email and surfing the web, but it's poor-to-unusable for large downloads, gaming, and YouTube.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

So there are 2 raised to the power 32 (2^32) possible addresses.

I like to keep all the e-mails I receive, never delete anything (I receive 50-200 e-mails a day). For the purpose of efficiency, what I do is delete (i.e. click the &quot;Delete&quot; button on my keyboard) every e-mail I receive that does not require special treatment or filing. Once a week or so I copy all the &quot;Deleted Items&quot; folder to a big folder I have called &quot;All Non-Filed Mail&quot;. If I encounter a spam e-mail or some other mail that &quot;really&quot; requires deletion, I just use Shift-Delete. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm well aware of this method's hazards (e.g. the risk of cleaning the folder by mistake), however it's the only single-key operation I know of to remove an e-mail from my Inbox (Ctrl-something is not a single key for this purpose), and I've grown accustomed to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to know if there's any way to configure the operation of the Delete button to send an item to a specific folder?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I currently work in Outlook 2007, but I'm hoping to receive answers that will also be relevant for other versions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Specifically the use of solid state technologies and/or pairing (or tripling, and so on) individual drives in RAID0 arrays, so the idea would be very unlikely to be commercially viable.&#xD;&#xA; - The extra mechanical complexity, as well as making the drives harder to manufacture,  would make the them much more prone to failure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another similar ides that I've seen discuss is having the heads server each platter surface move independently, but this is also impractical due to mechanical complexity." />

SyncToy 2.0 appears not to sync&#xD;&#xA;&gt; deleted files when I have the sync&#xD;&#xA;&gt; option set to 'Echo'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; A. This can happen if the files are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; updated on the right. This includes if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the file was touched by an anti-virus&#xD;&#xA;&gt; program, music player, etc. To confirm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that this is indeed the case - change&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the sync option to &quot;Synchronize&quot; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; do a &quot;Preview&quot; sync. Do NOT hit run&#xD;&#xA;&gt; because this will sync changes from&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the right to the left. If on a preview&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you see updates from the right to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; left folder, this means it was changed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; on the right. The only workaround in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this case would be to manually delete&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the file on the right. And do not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; forget to change your sync option back&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to &quot;Echo&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm guessing this is your problem, because I just checked on my computer, the &quot;Echo&quot; deletes folders correctly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Precisions on the &quot;Echo&quot;. The &quot;Echo&quot; method in SyncToy will echo the changes from left to right. But to avoid losing data, it won't take care about folders and files created after. Typically, in your case, you want it to delete the folders you created after, but in general, I doubt you expect the backup tool to erase data it's not supposed to take care of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/synctoy/thread/5c021aa1-8738-47af-854d-c38d635800ac" />

The `\;` ensures the `;` gets passed to *rename* and instead of indicating the end of the *find* command.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The command given above has the ***-n*** (no action) switch; hence it will only tell you what would happen if you ran it. ***I recommend you run this command without the -n switch only after you've run it once and are satisfied with the proposed results.***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Now for the regexp.** &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `^` matches start of string. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA; - `$` matches the end of the string. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA; - `.` matches any character. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA; - `*` means zero or more of the preceeding construct. e.g `.*` means zero or more characters.&#xD;&#xA; - `\s` stands for any space character. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA; - `\S` stands for any non-space character. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA; - Anything within `()` gets captured and is reflected as `$1`, `$2`, depending on its position. &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The regexp:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Looks for an optional directory structure at the start, captures this in $1: `(.*/)`&#xD;&#xA; - Skips everything till the &quot;`-`&quot; : `.*-`&#xD;&#xA; - Captures the rest of the string, excepting leading and trailing spaces, in $2: `(.*)`&#xD;&#xA; - Rewrites the file as $1$2, which should be &quot;/path/to/file/&quot;&quot;filename.mp3&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's my test run:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    /tmp/test$ ls -R&#xD;&#xA;    .:&#xD;&#xA;    a  b  c  z-unknown.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a:&#xD;&#xA;    a3.mp3                 a - longer title3.mp3  c.mp3   disc2&#xD;&#xA;    a - longer title2.mp3  a - long title.mp3     disc 1  the band - the title.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc 1:&#xD;&#xA;    a - title1.mp3  a - title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc2:&#xD;&#xA;    a - title1.mp3  a - title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./b:&#xD;&#xA;    cd - ab - title3.mp3  cd - title1.mp3  cd - title2.mp3  c.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./c:&#xD;&#xA;    c-pony2.mp4  c - pony3.mp3  c - pony4.mp3  c-pony.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    /tmp/test$ find . -name &quot;*.mp3&quot; -exec rename -v 's|^(.*/).*-\s*(.*)\s*$|$1$2|g' {} \;&#xD;&#xA;    ./c/c-pony.mp3 renamed as ./c/pony.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./c/c - pony4.mp3 renamed as ./c/pony4.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./c/c - pony3.mp3 renamed as ./c/pony3.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./z-unknown.mp3 renamed as ./unknown.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/the band - the title.mp3 renamed as ./a/the title.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/a - longer title2.mp3 renamed as ./a/longer title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/a - longer title3.mp3 renamed as ./a/longer title3.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc 1/a - title1.mp3 renamed as ./a/disc 1/title1.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc 1/a - title2.mp3 renamed as ./a/disc 1/title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/a - long title.mp3 renamed as ./a/long title.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc2/a - title1.mp3 renamed as ./a/disc2/title1.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc2/a - title2.mp3 renamed as ./a/disc2/title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./b/cd - title1.mp3 renamed as ./b/title1.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./b/cd - title2.mp3 renamed as ./b/title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    ./b/cd - ab - title3.mp3 renamed as ./b/title3.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    /tmp/test$ ls -R&#xD;&#xA;    .:&#xD;&#xA;    a  b  c  unknown.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a:&#xD;&#xA;    a3.mp3  c.mp3  disc 1  disc2  longer title2.mp3  longer title3.mp3  long title.mp3  the title.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc 1:&#xD;&#xA;    title1.mp3  title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./a/disc2:&#xD;&#xA;    title1.mp3  title2.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./b:&#xD;&#xA;    c.mp3  title1.mp3  title2.mp3  title3.mp3&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ./c:&#xD;&#xA;    c-pony2.mp4  pony3.mp3  pony4.mp3  pony.mp3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;     &#xD;&#xA;Regexp's are tricky business, and I've made many a blunder writing them, so I'd welcome any input on the lack of merit of this one.

Lots of other people seem to be, so give it a go if you don't need a high performance NAS. It was one of the very first to come with a [linux firmware](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2#User_community), so [there's a thriving linux community around it](http://www.nslu2-linux.org/), and people have modified it to run varied things. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; There are two main replacement&#xD;&#xA;&gt; firmware images available for the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; device: the first is Unslung which is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; based on the official Linksys firmware&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with some improvements and features&#xD;&#xA;&gt; added. Optware packages are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; available to expand functionality. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other is SlugOS/BE (formerly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OpenSlug), which is based on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OpenEmbedded framework. SlugOS/BE&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allows users to re-flash the device&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with a minimal Linux system including&#xD;&#xA;&gt; an SSH server to allow remote access.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Once installed, the operating system&#xD;&#xA;&gt; must be moved to an attached hard disk&#xD;&#xA;&gt; due to the lack of space available on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the Flash memory. Once this has been&#xD;&#xA;&gt; done, a wide range of additional&#xD;&#xA;&gt; packages are available to be installed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from an Internet repository.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; It is also possible to run OpenWrt,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Debian, Gentoo, FreeBSD,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; NetBSD, and Ubuntu on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; device.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The ability to run an unrestricted&#xD;&#xA;&gt; operating system on the device opens&#xD;&#xA;&gt; up a whole new range of uses. Some&#xD;&#xA;&gt; common uses are a web server, mail&#xD;&#xA;&gt; server, DAAP server (iTunes), UPnP AV&#xD;&#xA;&gt; MediaServers, BitTorrent client,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FreeSWITCH, asterisk PBX and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; network router (with the attachment of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a USB network interface/USB modem).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I used to have it running with an Unslung firmware booting from a USB stick, but recently converted to running Debian off the attached USB hard drive. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The nslu2 makes no noise and draws minimal power.

System restore then locked up :(&#xD;&#xA; - &quot;Last Known Good Configuratoin&quot; - seems to get me back in still same reboot issue though&#xD;&#xA; - Diagnostic Startup in msconfig - disables pretty much all services, (including windows logon service..arghh!!) so couldn't logon. Machine rebooted while i was trying to logon so startup services/programs don't seem to be the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point I'm tempted to live with it, heck it evens seems like an added &quot;Security Feature&quot; :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Seems I might move to Win7 earlier than expected.&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " />

Text="&gt; a forward delete in Mac, like &lt;-backspace on windows&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A Forward Delete on a Mac is *not* the Backspace on Windows, but is the Delete on a Windows keyboard. The Backspace on a Windows keyboard is called Delete on a Mac.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a Mac, the Delete key is labeled &quot;delete&quot; or shows some left arrow. The Forward Delete is labeled ⌦ or &quot;del&quot; (not &quot;delete&quot;), or on [the latest keyboards][1] &quot;delete ⌦&quot;. If no such key is present, one can hold down Fn while pressing Delete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So...&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;                 Windows      Mac&#xD;&#xA;          del  /  delete      ⌦   /  del     /  delete ⌦  /  fn + delete&#xD;&#xA;backspace  /  ⌫  /  &amp;lt;⏤      &amp;lt;⏤  /  delete  &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While we're at the topic of keyboards: Macs don't use [Alt][2], but use [Option][3]. Up till recently, the Option key was labeled with the funny ⌥, representing the [pull-out plastic card][4] situated under the Lisa keyboard. The latest keyboards no longer show that symbol, but only &quot;option&quot;, while ⌥ is still shown in menu shortcuts. Likewise, Control has always been shown in the menus as ⌃ ([up arrowhead][5], not Shift-6 which yields ^, being the [circumflex][6]), but was never shown on the keyboard using that symbol either. Makes one wonder why the Command key is still also labeled ⌘ on today's keyboards...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Option key on Mac keyboards is *also* labeled &quot;alt&quot;, just in case you're controlling some Windows or Linux machine, either remotely, or by booting your Intel machine into another operating system. So, a Mac never uses Alt, but always uses Option. They just happen to be the same key.

Up till recently, the Option key was labeled with the funny ⌥, representing the [pull-out plastic card][4] situated under the Lisa keyboard. The latest keyboards no longer show that symbol, but only &quot;option&quot;, while ⌥ is still shown in menu shortcuts. Likewise, Control has always been shown in the menus as ⌃ ([up arrowhead][5], not Shift-6 which yields ^, being the [circumflex][6]), but was never shown on the keyboard using that symbol either. Makes one wonder why the Command key is still also labeled ⌘ on today's keyboards...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Option key on Mac keyboards is *also* labeled &quot;alt&quot;, just in case you're controlling some Windows or Linux machine, either remotely, or by booting your Intel machine into another operating system. So, a Mac never uses Alt, but always uses Option. They just happen to be the same key.

Setting a new WPA key on both ends always solves the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change your WPA key to a guaranteed known key, and try connecting again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Barring that, try connecting and setting a static IP address that's outside your DHCP range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway equal to your routers IP address (192.168.1.1?).  DNS will be the router's address too.  Try pinging the router, and then you'll know if it's a connection issue or a DHCP issue.  I'm sure it's not relevant but a recent windows update somehow hosed DHCP on a buddy's pc, and he's been stuck using static IP's for a few weeks." />

However, all the colours look dithered, especially on the task bar and title bar, making them impossible to see. From my web searches, it appears to be because these items are [drawn using Porter-Duff](http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&amp;m=123533262006677). This is especially the case when using the Oxygen style, and Oxygen and Ozone window titlebars (selecting these styles generates messages about Porter-Duff being unavailable); not using those styles at least makes most of the UI widgets and window titles usable again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this doesn't solve the problem for the task bar, nor for the desktop, where the only theme available to me is Oxygen (this is under the &quot;Desktop Settings - Plasma Workspace&quot; window, just for reference). So, unless I have a way to use a non-Porter-Duff theme for those, it seems that KDE would still be unusable under VNC.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if someone experienced with KDE can advise on how to work around, or even fix, these issues, I'd appreciate it very much. :-)" />

However, all the colours look dithered, especially on the task bar and title bar, making them impossible to see.

This is especially the case when using the Oxygen style, and Oxygen and Ozone window titlebars (selecting these styles generates messages about Porter-Duff being unavailable); not using those styles at least makes most of the UI widgets and window titles usable again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this doesn't solve the problem for the task bar, nor for the desktop, where the only theme available to me is Oxygen (this is under the &quot;Desktop Settings - Plasma Workspace&quot; window, just for reference).

You're looking for lines that start with &quot;Received:&quot;, like these:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.215.12.12 with SMTP id p12cs100615qai;&#xD;&#xA;            Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.90.100.20 with SMTP id x20mr2195513agb.12.1232319857088;&#xD;&#xA;            Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.90.68.11 with HTTP; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a Gmail to Gmail message I have.

When you display mail in your browser from the server, this is also encrypted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP does not encrypt mail, however. There are ways to use TLS (transport layer security) over IMAP and POP to encrypt the authenication data from the user/client to the server. When you connect via IMAP/POP with TLS, the data you receive when retrieving mail is encrypted from the server to you. IMAP and POP are retrieval protocols only. When you use an external client such as Thunderbird to send mail, it will go through an SMTP server. This can be encrypted as well using SASL/TLS with SMTP, but again that is only from your client to the server, and not from the server to its final destination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to send and receive encrypted email end to end, no matter where it goes on the network, then you need to look into a solution like PGP/GPG. For more information about this, see the [question I asked][1]. Gmail's webui doesn't support usage of PGP/GPG, so you'll need to set that up with an external mail client such as [Thunderbird][2], [Mail.app][3], or [Outlook][4] (or others).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as email you send from your Gmail account to a friend's Gmail account, it is sent around inside Google's internal mail infrastructure. This may have one or more hops between servers, but usually stays within their private (10.x.x.x) network. You can verify this by looking at the headers of the email your friend sends.

When you display mail in your browser from the server, this is also encrypted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP does not encrypt mail, however. There are ways to use TLS (transport layer security) over IMAP and POP to encrypt the authenication data from the user/client to the server. When you connect via IMAP/POP with TLS, the data you receive when retrieving mail is encrypted from the server to you. IMAP and POP are retrieval protocols only. When you use an external client such as Thunderbird to send mail, it will go through an SMTP server. This can be encrypted as well using SASL/TLS with SMTP, but again that is only from your client to the server, and not from the server to its final destination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to send and receive encrypted email end to end, no matter where it goes on the network, then you need to look into a solution like PGP/GPG. For more information about this, see the [question I asked][1]. Gmail's webui doesn't support usage of PGP/GPG, so you'll need to set that up with an external mail client such as [Thunderbird][2], [Mail.app][3], or [Outlook][4] (or others).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as email you send from your Gmail account to a friend's Gmail account, it is sent around inside Google's internal mail infrastructure. This may have one or more hops between servers, but usually stays within their private (10.x.x.x) network. You can verify this by looking at the headers of the email your friend sends. From the email in the Gmail webui, hit the drop down button next to the &quot;Reply&quot; and click &quot;Show Original&quot;. You're looking for lines that start with &quot;Received:&quot;, like these:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.215.12.12 with SMTP id p12cs100615qai;&#xD;&#xA;            Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.90.100.20 with SMTP id x20mr2195513agb.12.1232319857088;&#xD;&#xA;            Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;    Received: by 10.90.68.11 with HTTP; Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:04:17 -0800 (PST)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a Gmail to Gmail message I have. The first (last) message here indicates that the mail server 10.90.68.11 received the message in question from an HTTP connection (webui). Then the mail went via SMTP to 10.90.100.20, then SMTP to 10.215.12.12, where it was delivered to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, while this is all internal to Google's network, SMTP should not be considered a secure protocol for sending sensitive information. Anyone who has access to the systems in the chain above can potentially read the message. Also note that Google Apps may go through a gateway system on their network that has an external address (still owned by Google, though).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/16160/short-easy-to-understand-explanation-of-gpg-pgp-for-nontechnical-people&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/home/index.php&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.google.com/search?q=outlook+pgp" />

When I plug in an external monitor to the VGA port of the machine (either the VGA port in the laptop's docking station, or the VGA port built into the laptop itself), the image on that monitor appears tinted yellow.  (White appears as yellow; gray appears as light red; blue, green, and yellow are mostly unchanged.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This behavior does *not* occur on an external monitor plugged in via the docking station's DVI port -- colors appear normally on an external monitor plugged in via DVI.

(Specifically, I see the behavior both with the VGA-cabled monitor at my desk, and also with any VGA-cabled projector that I've used with this machine.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've poked around in Display Properties, but so far, I haven't found any settings that appear to be causing the problem.

So I haven't tried to update the video driver as a fix for this issue yet.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, two questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**(1) What is the likely cause of the yellow-tinted output from the VGA port?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**(2) How can I get the VGA port on this machine to output normal colors?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can live with the issue on the external monitor at my desk, but it's a little bit embarassing/annoying when doing presentations with the machine, using a projector connected via the VGA port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!" />

However, is that all SSL does? For example, when I open an email on my computer, the data between Mountain View (or whatever) and my house is encrypted? Would that mean then if I email my friend who also uses gmail with SSL/secure gmail enabled, then if I send an email also with an attachment to his gmail account that email as well as the attachment are encrypted at my computer, sent to GMail server, and then provided my friend uses SSL then he can security acquire the email too? So there is no need for those firefox encryption addons? Are those just for more robust encryption algorithms?&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;So in summary, here is what I think I have learned (and provides a summary for others reading). PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. gmail sends emails to google servers with HTTP. gmail also retrieves emails from google servers with HTTP. when you connect to the google servers using https (as opposed to http) then the connection between your gmail client and the gmail servers is secure and data is encrypted going back and forth between the two.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. when using a client (thunderbird for example) SMTP is used to send emails, and IMAP/POP are used for retrieving emails. At the add-on/options level, you can tell these clients to use TLC for both the SMTP and IMAP/POP steps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The google servers probably don't use TLS with SMTP when bouncing emails back and forth amongst their servers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Conclusion - if using gmail, always use HTTPS but know there is no encryption between google's servers, but in the 'outside world' the connection between google clients (as long as using https) is secure.  if using thunderbird (or something else) turn on TLS. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is this correct?" />

I use x2vnc on L and TightVNC server on W in order to allow one mouse and keyboard (plugged into L) to control both of them.  This setup has worked for many years.  A one pixel wide window is created on the left edge of L's screen, and mousing into it sends it over to W where it seamlessly appears on the right edge of that screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lately, I've been having problems.  It seems that when Firefox (3.0.13) is the active window, the cursor will sometimes, but not always, bounce off the left edge and leave me on L.  I cannot reliably make it either happen or not happen.  Specifically, it looks like the cursor is vanishing and then reappearing near the center of L's screen.  When I have other windows active it does not seem to happen, but I cannot say with confidence that it *never* has.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every time this happens, a message is written by x2vnc to the console where it's running.  It's the same message that it prints the first time it makes a successful connection.  When the mouse is seamlessly passed over correctly, no message is printed.  The message is as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: VNC authentication succeeded&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: Desktop name &quot;Windows_Machine&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: VNC server default format:&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    screen[0] pos=1004&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    Xinerama detected, x2vnc will use screen 1.&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: pointer multiplier: 1.240917&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    x2vnc: VNC server supports protocol version 3.8 (viewer 3.3)&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;L is running Gnome 2.22.3 on top of Ubuntu 2.6.24.24.&lt;br /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;W is running Windows XP Professional SP3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've not yet actually looked at the VNC traffic, so that will be my next step if no one here can offer advice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you for your attention." />

The specs aren't quite as good as, say, Linode, but Slicehost doesn't oversell their resources, so when they say you get 100 GB bandwidth you are _guaranteed_ 100 GB bandwidth. (I'm not saying that Linode does oversell, but it's a common practice at some other hosting providers.) In 9 months I've practically never had to deal with downtime or serious technical problems, and if I did, I'm confident that the tech support people would deal with it promptly and keep customers in the loop. The few times I have had to contact them, they've been fantastic.

Anyone who can run fdisk will be able to see that there is a partition there, and might get curious as to what it's for. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your purpose is just to do application keying (it only runs with the special USB drive), then I'd suggest not creating a hidden partition, but instead making the main partition a few K short of the end of the USB drive. Then use the windows raw access APIs to directly access the USB drive and look for special data (that you will have already written) at the end of the physical device.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is slightly sneakier and slightly less noticeable than an extra partition. Unfortunately, it's still quite susceptible to whole-drive copying, and may not actually accomplish your goals. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest elaborating on what you actually want to do, and let us try to help you achieve that end result." />

I found that Windows Media Player would not launch. I found [this thread][1], which contained a number of suggestions, none of which solved the problem. Here is what I tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Tried running WMP via desktop shortcut, QuickLaunch bar or going to Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe. In all cases, wmplayer would launch then terminate immediately (verified through the Processes tab in Task Manager).&#xD;&#xA; - Tried running wmplayer.exe as Administrator. The UAC dialog would come up, I'd approve, then wmplayer would launch and terminate immediately.&#xD;&#xA; - Uninstalled all non-Microsoft media programs except RealPlayer, iTunes, QuickTime, Acer Arcade (the laptop owner uses all those apps).&#xD;&#xA; - Tried running Program Files\Windows Media Player\setup_wm.exe as Administrator, it launched but said that a newer version of WMP was already installed.&#xD;&#xA; - Deleted the &quot;Windows Media&quot; folder located under %userprofile%\appdata\local\Microsoft then tried starting WMP - wmplayer would launch and terminate immediately.&#xD;&#xA; - Register wmp.dll by typing &quot;regsvr32 wmp.dll&quot; in an Administrator cmd window then tried starting WMP - wmplayer would launch and terminate immediately.&#xD;&#xA; - Run &quot;SFC /SCANFILE&quot; in an Administrator cmd window - get an error message that it found invalid system files and could not fix them, so look at the log file cbs.log. The log file shows that there are broken files associated with Windows Sidebar (which the user does not use) but none relating to WMP.&#xD;&#xA; - Log off to safe mode and run &quot;SFC /SCANFILE&quot; in an Administrator cmd window again - same results.&#xD;&#xA; - Try to download and install XP WMP - the microsoft.com site recognizes the OS as Genuine and allows the download, but when I launch the installer it says the system is not Genuine. Clicking the link directs me back to IE where I can authenticate the system as Genuine. The installer still fails to recognize the system as Genuine. It is a Genuine Vista installation.&#xD;&#xA; - Try to run this update (KB931621). The installer said it did not apply to the system.&#xD;&#xA; - Set Windows Media Player as default in Program Access and Defaults. Same results.&#xD;&#xA; - Tried running &quot;for %a in (%systemroot%\system32\wm*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %a&quot; in an Administrator cmd window - same results.&#xD;&#xA; - Went to this Knowledge Base article (947541) and ran the Microsoft Fix It. The Fix It ran successfully, but WMP would still launch and terminate immediately.&#xD;&#xA; - Multiple reboots in the process of doing all of these steps.&#xD;&#xA; - After all this, looked in the Application and Security logs. No events pertaining to WMP were logged.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The computer was preinstalled with Vista Home Premium and I have the Acer backup DVDs which will reimage the drive. I do not have Vista install DVDs. Reimaging the system is not an option. I'd also rather not restore the system to an earlier point unless it's absolutely necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What else can I do to repair or reinstall WMP? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/thread/22ce1aa9-f997-4e99-9f47-19e1a1fe11a9&#xD;&#xA;" />

Five?  The suggestions to use the cloud as storage take care of the problem that at least one of the backups should be offsite.  If you make perfect copies but then the building burns down, you're out of luck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do you want to do full backups or incremental ones?  Full backups back up the whole file each time regardless of whether or not it has changed.  Incremental backups only backup the files that have changed since the last whole backup.  Differential backups only backup the differences in the files.  All have pros and cons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of these factors should be considered when selecting one of the many fine tools offered in the answers." />

By increasing the CPU frequency, you're also obligated to change speed settings for RAM, the system bus and so on. So if you have an Intel or AMD processor that say runs at 2.0GHz, you *can* overclock that processor (depending on a few variables) to run at 2.3GHz or 2.4GHz. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pros**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The good thing about overclocking is you can get better performance out of your computer *without* paying extra for a higher model. Most people who overclock are gamers, but I'm sure there are other uses for overclocking in computation and such.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cons**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Heat - Faster CPU means more electricity which means more heat. Heat can kill computer systems. Improperly cooled *and overclocked* CPUs can die a lot faster than you think.&#xD;&#xA;2. Cost - In order to increase the speed, better cooling is necessary to dissipate the heat. From water coolers to fancy heatsink/fan solutions, you *should* put forth some money to address the heating problem. &#xD;&#xA;3. Possible Damage - People forget that by overclocking, you're going *out* of bounds for the manufacturer's specification. The extra work, electricity, heat can (over a period of time) damage your CPU. If you deal with heating properly your odds of damage decrease, but it's always a risk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't overclock. It's a risk with little to no benefit that I can see. Others may feel differently, but I hope this answers your question." />

E.G. Credit cards generally get stolen from files and databases of numbers, and not from the transport of the numbers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google stores your data. The storage is not encrypted. People at Google, or those who compromise Google can one day read it, if they actually care to. The recipient of the mail can also read it, and the owner of the recipient's mail server (ISP or company) can too. If the recipient is using a regular mail client, it is stored on his/her machine. This is where any spyware or rootkits that the recipient has installed could get at it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In transit, [jtimberman][1] is right. Your browser is talking to Google, if you trust that the machine that sent you the certificate is Google, and that Verisign or whomever is a trustworthy company which tells you that Google did actually send you Google's certificate. While the browser talks to Google with the certificate over https, the transmission is encrypted. This is nice, because it means that all the other PCs on your network with possible spyware or nosey-users, and the network admin, cannot read how much you complain about them every single day.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also have to trust your browser, AND all it's plug ins. They can pretty much just read what's in the forms before you even sent it. Generally you can trust it, but not those nosey tool bars everyone is asking you to install along side all those free programs you download.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But overall, say you sent someone an email and it contained your tax-id, birthdate, current address and legal name, something an employer maybe needs to know, you'd think of that as sensitive information. Well that email is stored forever by Google in the sent-mail area. Even after you delete it. And the recipient is going to store a copy in their inbox. The mail server of the recipient could be storing a copy. The mail-server of the domain of the recipient's mail-server could be storing a copy, but not for long. And a number of more servers in between.  ALSO smtp sends mail between these quite unencrypted, but what's scarier, that some criminal's malicious program might be listening to the right network at the right time to catch the data in transit, or that some other criminal's malicious program might one day get installed on any of the machines that now contain a copy, find that copy, then send the data to the criminal's organization?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/users/90/jtimberman" />

Don't bother with on-board solutions. I know they're cheaper, but in reality they're pseudo-RAID controllers and are more prone to breaking your RAID array more than anything else. You can use whatever CPU, RAM, motherboard whatever you want, but data is stored on disks and disks are prone to going kaput. A good RAID controller will save you. A bad one (on-board or software RAID) will more likely make your life miserable rather than saving it from disaster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I never use software RAID *anymore* but I'm sure some people may recommend Linux software RAID. Personally, I haven't tried it so I can't claim anything, but if your data is worth anything to you, you might as well pay up for a solid RAID controller from 3Ware, Areca, LSI, Adaptec, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far I've used 3Ware 9650SE (SATA II) series RAID, LSI (for Dell Servers) and HP SmartArray controllers. I've never had an issue with any of them. I believe I had one disk go bad in the SmartArray series *years* ago but the controller kept humming along. We swapped out the bad disk for a good one and the array rebuilt the disk and all was well. No headaches. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, if you're running a small NAS for a SOHO, I'd look into the consumer level devices as they may save you some time and possible construction headaches. Larger offices and higher IT requirements would require more serious equipment and not home-built type NAS. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a *wide* variety of vendors with different OSes and capabilities. They may be a better buy in the short or long run depending on your budget and your requirements. The other thing about consumer NAS devices these days too is the software is getting so much better that the number of options for each vendor and their product is growing rapidly. For example, higher grade consumer NASes (read: more expensive) now support iSCSI. In addition, the small size and custom parts use less electricity than most desktop counterpart NASes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're thinking of looking into consumer NASes, I'd suggest: Netgear ReadyNAS (expensive but solid), QNAP (Linux and affordable), Thecus (performance and affordable), or Drobo (expensive but easy to use)." />

(On Windows laptops with some scroll-zone at the side of the trackpad, one often first needs to click in the part of the window one wants to scroll. When not doing that, one might not be scrolling the part of the window where the mouse pointer is positioned, but some other active window instead.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also adore a feature that even some experienced Mac users don't know about: **while dragging one can release ones fingers from the trackpad and quickly reposition them, without ending the current drag operation**. Like when your fingers get to a border of the trackpad while moving something from one place to another, selecting text or drawing a line: just release your fingers from the trackpad, quickly move them into the opposite direction, and put them on the trackpad again to continue what you were doing. So, this is just like picking up your mouse while keeping the button pressed, which might in fact be more difficult! (This does not require you to explicitly enable &quot;Drag Lock&quot;. However, once one gets used to repositioning ones fingers, one can really mess up things when using any other trackpad/OS.) In combination with Exposé and the [spring-loaded folders][2], drag and drop using a trackpad is really as easy as it gets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This being CW, please edit if you can describe it any better. ;-)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And Time Machine, especially **the integration of Time Machine with applications like Mail, Address Book or iPhoto**. Simply enter Time Machine while one of [these][3] applications is active, and you'll get the regular star field with *that* application (rather than the normal Finder). Makes it easy to even restore messages from email accounts that you've already deleted a long time ago (without the need to understand how and where Mail stores messages on your hard drive). One can also [easily][4] use multiple Time Machine disks, to get some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the [proxy icon][5] in a window's title bar, which often only appears when a document is saved, will often be dimmed if it has unsaved changes, and most important: **the proxy icon can be used for drag and drop**, or pressed for a brief period or Ctrl-clicked to jump to a location in Finder. (In Safari there is no icon, but one can still Ctrl-click the title itself, to select URLs that are &quot;higher&quot; in the hierarchy as well.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/overlays/images/trackpad20081014.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/26/mac-101-spring-loaded-folders/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(Apple_software)#Time-Machine-Aware_Applications&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090603163307642&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/XHIGWindows.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-TPXREF53" />

Also trying out something new I have tried before in an older version is sometimes an incentive (to look whether my previous issues have been addressed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I left Internet Explorer 7 because of speed in favor of Firefox, I left Firefox again due to excessive crashing when opening multiple tabs in quick succession (something I did fairly often at that time .. and a handful of crashes *a day* wasn't fun anymore). I started using Internet Explorer 8 β1 at that time but soon left it to try Firefox 3 and then Google Chrome, due to speed and other issues. Chrome, while snappy and overall nice constantly irritated me when I clicked on a tab and rather often the tab was detached from the window, resulting in a nasty pause. By now I'm a fairly happy user of Internet Explorer 8 which is nearly as fast as Chrome and (currently) has less issues for me. I still use Chrome and Firefox 3 on my other machine, though." />

If you add more memory or faster memory, then you are going outside the processor manufacturer's specifications (I believe O.C. here stands for &quot;Over Clocking&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is mention just under the memory support statement &quot;Refer to www.asus.com for the memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).&quot; This means that Asus has tested specific DIMM modules and have found that they work with this specific motherboard. (Unfortunately, I can't find the QVL for this motherboard on ASUS' website.) The QVL gives information about which DIMM model they used and in which DIMM slots they passed. If a DIMM module is on the AVL as passing and it is greater than 1066 or 1066 with 4 DIMMs populated, then this means ASUS tested it and it works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, your assumed limitation is correct *if* you select memory not on the QVL." />

The simple command-line utilities often go in `C:\Programs\Bin` which I add to the system path. The rest go in their own subdirectories, e.g. I installed MinGW in `C:\Programs\MinGW` and MSYS in `C:\Programs\MSYS`. A key rule I follow in the `\Programs` tree is to never put a space in a file name unless some distribution's tarball or zip file did it. That makes life easier at the command prompt as many, many years of experience with Unix ought to have taught Microsoft.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I try to follow the rule that the only way to write to `C:\Program Files` is through a real installer. If more applications had followed that rule sooner, life in Windows would have been so much simpler.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For data, I'm torn on the `My Documents` thing. I advise all of my non-geek relatives to use it, and to create lots of folders, or better, trees of folders for their project work in there.

That surely worked for me. For OS X Leopard and earlier be sure NOT to select &quot;Exchange&quot; in Mail, but use IMAP. Up to Snow Leopard, Apple Mail does not support the Calendar and Contacts anyway, so using IMAP works just as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to Mail 3.5 help:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, while Mail filters non-email related content from the server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, using &quot;Exchange&quot; requires IMAP to have been enabled on the server. Using &quot;Exchange&quot; in Mail does solve some issues, but at a cost:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Microsoft Exchange and Apple Mail use different names for some folders (like Sent Items and Deleted Items for Exchange, and Sent and Trash for Mail). When using &quot;Exchange&quot; rather than IMAP then these name issues are solved automatically. &#xD;&#xA;- Exchange has some additional folders such as Calendar, Contacts, Journal, RSS Feeds, Sync Issues and Tasks. When using &quot;Exchange&quot; then these odd folders seem to be hidden. &#xD;&#xA;- The help says *&quot;if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server&quot;*. Apart from the aforementioned Calendar and Contacts folder, this also implies that all calendar and contacts information in any other box (such as public folders, your Inbox, etc) will not show up. A good idea in general, but in the Inbox it means you don't get calendar invites, and bounced messages are not normal mail either so you would never know if you have messages that didn't go through. ([quote][1]) &#xD;&#xA;- This might need some more network traffic through the so-called &quot;Outlook Web Access&quot; URL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When IMAP has been enabled and the IMAP ports have been opened in the firewall, then in OS X  Leopard:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Menu File, Add Account &#xD;&#xA; - Account Type: IMAP (not Exchange or POP) &#xD;&#xA; - Incoming Mail Server: the incoming server of your email provider &#xD;&#xA; - Outgoing Mail Server: the SMTP server of your email provider. This is especially preferred in case of anti-spam [SPF records][2]. But if you cannot use that server (like when you don't know the authentication details, or because your internet provider blocks access to third-party SMTP servers), then use the SMTP server of your own internet provider instead. &#xD;&#xA; - Use Authentication: **yes** (even when using the SMTP server of your own internet provider: if you take your notebook on the road, then you're probably not connected to the internet using your own provider, so to use the outgoing mail server of your own provider you'll need to provide some credentials)&#xD;&#xA;- Mail will now automatically find the preferred (and most secure) settings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To ensure the trash is not emptied automatically: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Preferences, Accounts, tab sheet Mailbox Behaviors &#xD;&#xA;- Permanently erase deleted messages when: never&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make the Sent, Drafts and Trash work (this would not be needed when using &quot;Exchange&quot; rather than plain IMAP): &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- After setting up IMAP you need to tell Mail which folder on the server is actually to be used as the Trash, Sent items, etcetera. First let Mail download all your messages, which can take some time -- it might even seem that all is done while no folders are visible yet! At some point you'll see all your folders as stored on the server. &#xD;&#xA; - Select the &quot;Deleted items&quot; folder and choose menu Mailbox, option &quot;Use this mailbox for&quot;. Once you've selected the right usage, the server folder will be integrated in Mail's usual interface. &#xD;&#xA; - Repeat for &quot;Sent Items&quot; &#xD;&#xA; - Repeat for &quot;Spam mail&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To ensure Windows users see your attachments: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Choose menu Edit, Attachments, Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments &#xD;&#xA;- Choose menu Edit, Attachments, Always Insert Attachments at End of Message (a bug requires you to first type at least one character in the body when dragging attachments to a message)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead of IMAP one could also use [fetchExc][3] -- *fetches mail with webDAV from MS Exchange 2000/2003 servers* (see also [How I Quit Fighting The Man][4]). I never tried that, and don't know of any advantages.

SSH is a program used for connecting to another computer with a shell. X is the graphical display program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SSH can be used as an interactive command shell and can also be used to forward ports.  `ssh -X` forwards the local X display's port to the remote computer and usually sets up the remote environment so that if you start a graphical program remotely it will display locally.  Normally you wouldn't run an entire desktop such as KDE in this way; you'd just run one or two programs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`startx` is a command used to start an X server locally when you are logged into the console of the server, that is, the physical keyboard and screen.  Most people avoid using startx because it can be a security risk if you leave your computer unattended.  Starting X creates a second virtual console (the first was the text console you logged into), and someone can switch back to the text console (CTRL-ALT-F1 or something similar) and hit CTRL-C to kill your X console, and then they are logged-in as you in your text console.  But if you don't leave the computer unattended it may be okay to use occaisionally.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The normal way to run a full-fledged graphical desktop on a system is to use a login manager such as XDM (or GDM/KDM for Gnome/KDE).  On RedHat and friends this is usually achieved by switching to runlevel 5.  From a command prompt you can type `telinit 5` to switch temporarily, or edit `/etc/inittab` to set the default runlevel (typical choices are 3 - no X -  and 5 - with X).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for starting GNOME and KDE, by default when you run `startx` CentOS should run one of them (probably GNOME).  There are configuration files you can change to override the default.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to access a full desktop environment remotely, you need to look into setting XDM up for remote access, or using VNC or some other remote desktop protocol.  For a full desktop I'd recommend something like VNC because that way your session stays open when you are disconnected.  But you should consider that typical X or VNC over the network is not encrypted and you may want to set up an ssh port forwarding tunnel to encrypt the data.  If you just run one or two apps with `ssh -X` then it will be encrypted already.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What kind of client computer are you using to connect to this server?  Both `ssh -X` and XDM require a local X display, whereas something like VNC does not." />

The final step (destination mail server to recipient's client) is normally considered retrieving email rather than part of the sending process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first step (your client to the mail server) is where SMTP is normally used. In the case of a web client, you can consider the action as Browser -&gt; Proxy Client -&gt; Mail Server, where the &quot;Proxy Client&quot; is the web server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second step (your server, to destination server) typically uses SMTP in the case of internet email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final step (mail retrieval) is where POP3 and IMAP are possible protocols.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, that's just the &quot;standard&quot; set of possibilities.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Microsoft's Mail Server software (Exchange) has an extended protocol (MAPI) which it uses to communicate with Exchange-aware clients (mostly Outlook). It can use SMTP and MAPI clients, but I think you have to turn on the &quot;standard interfaces&quot;. Lotus Notes is another popular mail server (well, not **just** a mail server) which supports a different client-server protocol, and for which the standard interface is not part of the standard install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are email client programs that interact with popular mail servers (principally Exchange, hotmail and gmail) using the HTTP interface to overcome difficulties or perceived limitations using the standard or enhanced APIs those Mail Servers provide, if any (at one time at least hotmail only had a web/HTTP interface).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The source and destination Mail Servers may use some different protocol to transmit the email between them. Most modern mail servers will support SMTP, but if there are other possibilities, especially if the source and destination server is the same. *nix systems provide &quot;sendmail&quot; for sending email on the same host, which can also use SMTP to transmit email to other hosts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is a *standard* way to send email to a destination server. POP3 and IMAP are *standard* ways to retrieve email. Good for interaction with other standard supporting clients and servers, but by no means the only way it is done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, what gmail does when you send an email to yourself, or even to someone else with a gmail/Google hosted email account, is totally up to Google.

I have spent all day googling to no avail. Here are my main questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   1. What is the difference between ssh -X, ssh -Y, and when I do this which computer (local or remote) has the x server, and which has the clients?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   2. Does the startx command start the x server? So if I go to my terminal and hit startx all i've done is start the xserver?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   3. Why would I ever want to ssh into a remote computer and use startx? Would I need -X or -Y to use startx? It seems everything I've read about getting the desktop up for gnome/kde on a remote machine calls for you ro use startx. If I use startx in this scenario, who is the xserver, and who is the xclient?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   4. Will the window managers of gnome/kde from using startx on the remote machine interfere with mac's implementation of its own x11 window manager? is there anyway to fix it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   5. How does something like VNC play into all of this? Is there a difference between a remote X session and just sshing into the remote machine and using startx?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   6. What is the correct way/command to get gnome/kde to run a GUI desktop on my remote machine of the server? (so the desktop displayed on my computer is the desktop of the server)? And by desktop, I mean I want wallpaper, folders, recycle bin, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   7. If NX/VNC are the only ways to correctly have a true remote desktop in the sence of #6, why do the commands $gnome-session or $startkde bring up the desktop i want with ssh -X even though they don't work correctly?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be helpful if each of these were addressed individually, but if you can lead me towards some clear documentation that would be helpful too!" />

Text="`ssh -X` is not the same as `startx`. SSH is a program used for connecting to another computer with a shell. X is the graphical display program.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SSH can be used as an interactive command shell and can also be used to forward ports.  `ssh -X` forwards the local X display's port to the remote computer and usually sets up the remote environment so that if you start a graphical program remotely it will display locally.  Normally you wouldn't run an entire desktop such as KDE in this way; you'd just run one or two programs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`startx` is a command used to start an X server locally when you are logged into the console of the server, that is, the physical keyboard and screen.  Most people avoid using startx because it can be a security risk if you leave your computer unattended.  Starting X creates a second virtual console (the first was the text console you logged into), and someone can switch back to the text console (CTRL-ALT-F1 or something similar) and hit CTRL-C to kill your X console, and then they are logged-in as you in your text console.  But if you don't leave the computer unattended it may be okay to use occaisionally.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The normal way to run a full-fledged graphical desktop on a system is to use a login manager such as XDM (or GDM/KDM for Gnome/KDE).  On RedHat and friends this is usually achieved by switching to runlevel 5.  From a command prompt you can type `telinit 5` to switch temporarily, or edit `/etc/inittab` to set the default runlevel (typical choices are 3 - no X -  and 5 - with X).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for starting GNOME and KDE, by default when you run `startx` CentOS should run one of them (probably GNOME).  There are configuration files you can change to override the default.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to access a full desktop environment remotely, you need to look into setting XDM up for remote access, or using VNC or some other remote desktop protocol.  For a full desktop I'd recommend something like VNC because that way your session stays open when you are disconnected.  But you should consider that typical X or VNC over the network is not encrypted and you may want to set up an ssh port forwarding tunnel to encrypt the data.  If you just run one or two apps with `ssh -X` then it will be encrypted already.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What kind of client computer are you using to connect to this server?  Both `ssh -X` and XDM require a local X display, whereas something like VNC does not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** &#xD;&#xA;If you have an X server on your local computer, you can use ssh -X to connect to the CentOS machine and start a program, such as firefox, which will display on the macbook.  [This link][2] has information about using X on MacOS X.  By default Apple's X server shows each application in its own window, which is perfect for running a few apps using the `ssh -X` method.  However, if you wanted to run an entire full-screen graphical environment, you'd need to have your local X server connect to the CentOS's XDM; you'll then see (on your macbook) a screen similar to what you'd see if you were logged into the CentOS's local console.  This basically uses your Macbook as a dumb terminal: only the display, keyboard, and mouse are used locally.  The programs execute on the CentOS machine.  Unfortunately I can't help you set up a dumb terminal since it's been about 10 years since I last did it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you don't have an X server on your local computer, you can set up something like VNC ([see here for more remote-desktop products][1]), so that the X session is running on the server, on its physical display, but can be accessed remotely from a computer with the appropriate remote-desktop client.  For example, KDE has a desktop-sharing application which exposes the running KDE session over VNC.  You could log into the CentOS server (via XDM or text-console + startx), start the desktop-sharing, and then connect to that with a VNC client on the Macbook.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software&#xD;&#xA; [2]: http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html" />

This is fine most of the time as I am in upstate New York.  It only ever gets above the high 70s during the hottest of the summer months.  And when it does, I'm stubborn enough that I'll just deal with wearing minimal clothing around the house.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm worried about my computers.  I'm a software developer and gamer, so many of my machines are very high powered.  And at least one of them is a server that must be left on 24/7 (not just a game server - also serves multiple websites).  I've never before had to worry about the heat too much, as I always lived in buildings with central air.  The in building temperature rarely got much above 70 F.  All of the machines I built had good enough air cooling that I never saw a problem.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the temperature in building is pushing 100F and I'm worried that the machines will not be able to keep themselves cool enough by simply blowing already hot air over themselves.  The hottest of them I've turned off.  However, the server I cannot.  It's an old Dell (not custom build) that runs on a Pentium 4 (2.2GHz).  It only has a single hard drive, integrated video.  And it'd not running any processor intensive servers.  Just basic LAMP.  It used to run a MUD server, but that's off for now.  I haven't been able to find any sort of built in temperature sensors in the hardware... at least not any that the programs I've found in the Debian repository can read. So it should be idling most of the time.  And it's an inherited machine to which I do not have the full specs, so I don't know the tolerances anyway. How worried should I be about it melting down on me?  How worried should I be about the hard drive melting or becoming corrupted?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To generalize the question for other people, what are the safe temperature tolerances for most machines.  How widely does it vary, and how does one go about determining when their machine is running too hot and needs to be shut down?" />

This is fine most of the time as I am in upstate New York.  It only ever gets above the high 70s during the hottest of the summer months.  And when it does, I'm stubborn enough that I'll just deal with wearing minimal clothing around the house.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm worried about my computers.  I'm a software developer and gamer, so many of my machines are very high powered.  And at least one of them is a server that must be left on 24/7 (not just a game server - also serves multiple websites).  I've never before had to worry about the heat too much, as I always lived in buildings with central air.  The in building temperature rarely got much above 70 F.  All of the machines I built had good enough air cooling that I never saw a problem.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the temperature in building is pushing 100F and I'm worried that the machines will not be able to keep themselves cool enough by simply blowing already hot air over themselves.  The hottest of them I've turned off.  However, the server I cannot.  It's an old Dell (not custom build) that runs on a Pentium 4 (2.2GHz).  It only has a single hard drive, integrated video.  And it'd not running any processor intensive servers.  Just basic LAMP.  It used to run a MUD server, but that's off for now. So it should be idling most of the time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't been able to find any sort of built in temperature sensors in the hardware... at least not any that the programs I've found in the Debian repository can read.  And it's an inherited machine to which I do not have the full specs, so I don't know the tolerances anyway. How worried should I be about it melting down on me?  How worried should I be about the hard drive melting or becoming corrupted?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To generalize the question for other people, what are the safe temperature tolerances for most machines.  How widely does it vary, and how does one go about determining when their machine is running too hot and needs to be shut down?" />

As for GPU's, most don't specify, but a generally acceptable *maximum* upper limit for GPU temperature is 90C (and mostly the same for CPUs - however the new Intel Core 2 Duo's can technically go higher, although I would never go near that).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your temperatures are really concerning you, then you should consider cleaning all of the dust buildup in the case, adding another fan (or repositioning the older fans), and either getting a new CPU heatsink, or re-seat the old one with new thermal paste (which dries out over time).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An absolutely essential tool is [HWMonitor][2] - it will provide you various temperatures of your computer from almost all sensors inside of it, even hard drives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, remember - your fans should suck air OUT of the case.

Assuming you're willing to go with silencing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Put your machine under your desk, towards the back of the wall.&#xD;&#xA; - Prop up foam blocks or carpet padding behind the computer to absorb sound reflecting off the wall.  This is more effective if your PSU fan is the noisemaker.&#xD;&#xA; - Don't leave a CD in the CDROM drive.  They spin up noisily every once in a while.&#xD;&#xA; - Recent SATA's are fairly quiet.  If your hard drive is old, it might be worth it to upgrade for space, speed, and noise.&#xD;&#xA; - Remove all fan grills, if you can keep pets and children away.  The fan grills rattle, contribute to resistance, and cause white noise.&#xD;&#xA; - Tape up all holes not necessary for airflow including empty slots in the back.  They don't contribute to cooling and sound escapes from them.&#xD;&#xA; - I find those side CPU fan holes to be mostly useless, so I usually tape that too and remove the fan &lt;em&gt;if the CPU already has one&lt;/em&gt;.  Use [Speedfan][1] to make sure your CPU doesn't go over its maximum temperature (usually around 70C).&#xD;&#xA; - Eliminate redundant fans: if you have both an intake and an outflow fan, remove the intake: it's at the front and will make more noise.{1}&#xD;&#xA; - PSU and graphics card fans are usually the loudest.

I'd suggest using MP3Gain to both calculate the ReplayGain tag *and* apply the gain to the MP3 file and not use SoundCheck at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's why using SoundCheck is such a pain:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - By default iTunes *scans* each track for loudness information on a *per-track* basis. You probably want your songs scanned on a *per-album* basis. (And you probably don't want iTunes doing the scanning.) So you have to use another program to scan your library.&#xD;&#xA; - iTunes doesn't use the ReplayGain tag information, it does its own scanning. However it does cache the scanning results in the `COMMENT ITUNENORM` tag field (in an iTunes-specific binary format). So you have to use another program to write the `COMMENT ITUNENORM` tag field.&#xD;&#xA; - In iPhone OS 3.0.1 (on my 3GS) SoundCheck isn't applied when listening over bluetooth headphones. (I don't know if Apple did this on purpose or not.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last two bullets are what finally drove me away from using SoundCheck. If you want to use the ReplayGain information, you have to convert it into the iTunes SoundCheck format (before you add the song to your iTunes library). There isn't very good software to easily do this conversion. [Mp3tag][1] will do it ([here's how][2]) but it's hardcoded to use ReplayGain's default volume of -89dB, which is too quite for my taste.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been much happier just applying the gain directly with MP3Gain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?s=&amp;showtopic=9139&amp;view=findpost&amp;p=36208" />

Find ways to make it *simple* but effective. **Edit:** If it takes longer than 30 minutes and goes for hours on end *at the kids request*, so be it. You're doing a good job of getting their attention, interest and motivation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Putting together a machine can be done relatively quickly but keeping attention and interest are much more difficult. Too much information and it'll feel like a lecture. Just a little bit of information at the right time and kids will come up with questions on their own *if* they're interested. The more questions you get, the better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I suggest that you *do* set a passphrase on that key, otherwise it's a security problem.  &quot;-t rsa&quot; wouldn't be a bad idea, but probably isn't needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ssh-copy-id username@server&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That will ask you for the password you'd use to log in, and sets up the authorized_keys stuff for you.  (no need to do it by hand)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    `ssh-agent`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or maybe this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    exec ssh-agent sh&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    exec ssh-agent bash&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That will start up an SSH agent that can hold your key.  On many modern Unix variants, if you're logged in graphically, this will already have taken place.  The first variant (with the backticks) puts an ssh-agent into the background and sets up the environment variables to talk to it.  The second two have the agent run a shell for you, so that when you exit the shell, the agent exits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many modern Unix variants will already have an agent running for you, especially if you logged in graphically.  You might try &quot;`ps aux | grep ssh-agent`&quot; or &quot;`ps -ef | grep ssh-agent`&quot;; if something is already running, use that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, finally:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ssh-add&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It will ask for a passphrase; give it the one you gave ssh-keygen.  There's also ways to make it ask graphically.  And you can put the ssh-agent and ssh-add stuff into your login scripts (setup is different depending on shell you use) to automate this, but some Unix variants (current Ubuntu Linux, for instance) do most of that automatically, so that all you really need to do is create a key and use ssh-copy-id to set it up on the remote host.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, &quot;`ssh username@server`&quot; should work without asking for any authentication.  Behind the scenes, it's using a key that the ssh-agent is holding, and asking the agent to do the magic signing tricks for it.&#xD;&#xA;" />

What this means is that anyone with a Mac can create a world class application if they have the skills to do so, leading to a vibrant software ecosystem. NetNewsWire, Adium, Things and a bunch of other apps are indispensable to me at this point, much more so than a lot of other system functions on OS X, and the fact that they are awesome is as much a result of the fact that their creators are brilliant as they had the right tools to make these applications work as well as they do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These features also enforce consistency since the easiest way to code a feature into an OS X application is the same for everyone. Some aren't necessarily Cocoa related, like the fact that having a menu bar up top means that functions like preferences and print are always in the same place (something you can't always count on in windows, especially now that toolbar-less programs are in vogue). Others are things like default font and color pickers for cocoa applications are very easy to use and are consistent because apple built them. And when Apple doesn't build a framework for developers sometimes someone else steps forward and what they make comes standard, like the Sparkle application update framework and I believe there is something similar for implementing tabs that everyone uses. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another example of why the macintosh programing environment is really cool is a feature that I use do all the time, dragging links from the address bar in my web browser (Safari) to my chat client (Adium). If I do so from Firefox it just pastes the URL, from a Cocoa application it pastes as a more readable text link. That is just a small thing, but there are hundreds of times where an application written in Cocoa has &quot;just worked&quot; when I dragged something onto it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But yea, unlike that other big for-pay operating system vendor Apple doesn't see their developers as a market they can monetize or as competitors to their own software but as partners in making the best operating system on earth.

Keep an eye on your system and if you start to see it throttling because it is getting too hot, then consider adding/adjusting the cooling. If the system is throttling, an inexpensive, temporary and easy step is to just buy a box fan or two from the closest department store and set it to blow air onto the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, home-built/assembled systems have increased risk of having thermal issues unless the system builder knows what they are doing. If you have problems with these, you could just open up the chassis and blow the box fan directly onto the motherboard. Hot spots on a motherboard typically have a heatsink on them or the heat sinks into copper on the PC Board. The higher the LFM (velocity) of the air, the better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to look for is to keep the chassis out in the open air.

Keep an eye on your system and if you start to see it throttling because it is getting too hot, then consider adding/adjusting the cooling. If the system is throttling, an inexpensive, temporary and easy step is to just buy a box fan or two from the closest department store and set it to blow air onto the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, home-built/assembled systems have increased risk of having thermal issues unless the system builder knows what they are doing. If you have problems with these, you could just open up the chassis and blow the box fan directly onto the motherboard.

The higher the LFM (velocity) of the air, the better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to look for is to keep the chassis out in the open air.

I'm not sure whether he tried to do it himself and just wasn't able to, or if this was his plan from the beginning, but Andy actually wound up giving the computer to a friend of *his* to reformat. Let's call the friend Bob. Bob reformatted the computer, reinstalled Windows XP Home edition, and set up a user account... all in Andy's name, because Bob didn't know this was actually my sister's computer. Bob then told Andy that this service would cost him $100. Andy passed the computer and the charge back to my sister, who grudgingly paid it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Four months later, Andy and my sister are no longer speaking. My sister is tired of her &quot;My Documents&quot; folder and all of her Office programs claiming to belong to Andy, and she's pretty steamed that Andy is listed as the computer owner. She'd like me to fix this for her.

With regards to the second part of the question:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Limitations:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Support.  You're unlikely to get support from the provider, and if you do, it's likely to be of lower quality (e.g. slower) than for a paid product.  For most users, I doubt support for anti-virus software is that important, but some people like to have a number to call for everything.&#xD;&#xA; - Usage restrictions.  Most free solutions are limited to personal use only.  For example, AVG's free edition is limited to &quot;private, non-commercial&quot; use only, which means you can't (legally) use it on your work computer, even if you're a small business.&#xD;&#xA; - Functionality.  Often free versions have more limited functionality.  Using AVG as an example again, their paid versions have IM, identify theft, spam, and rootkit protection, and a firewall.&#xD;&#xA; - Ads.  Often a free product will incorporate some form of advertising (even if it's just for a paid version of the same product).  This can range from a subtle image in the UI (which you'll rarely use), to something annoying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for dangers, I presume you mean &quot;are these products less likely to catch viruses?&quot;.  Perhaps.  You can look at evaluations (e.g. the [Virus Bulletin ones][2]), although some people argue that those aren't particularly meaningful.  In my experience, if you keep whatever product you use up-to-date (and the definitions up-to-date as well), and you have a firewall, and you're behind some sort of NAT (e.g. most home connections), and you keep your OS up-to-date, and you don't behave stupidly, then you have little risk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FWIW, despite these limitations, I always recommend free anti-virus to friends/family (typically AVG).  For the commercial situation, there are many advantages in the commercial products, but there are plenty of good free choices for personal, home, use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://free.grisoft.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/results?display=summary" />

This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local (your) machine. Another feature of the HOSTS file is its ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Example - the following entry 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. This also prevents the server from tracking your movements. Why? ... because in certain cases &quot;Ad Servers&quot; like Doubleclick (and many others) will try to open a separate connection on the webpage you are viewing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

However, if you need a lot of extras and add-ons in your browser you will probably be unhappy with Chrome at its present level of development.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel" />

If you go to dejanews.com you are still redirected to google groups. Google bought all the archives because of the invaluable knowledge contained in the usenet archives, but as for fresh content, it's basically dead. The idea behind the newsgroups was to have a fully visible discussion environment for a specific topic. newsgroups filled the void of mailing lists, blogs, Q/A sites and file sharing during a time where traffic was low and men were men. Once that gap was filled, the huge amount of band required to keep newsgroups syncronized was the nail in the coffin for the technology. I remember that we had a news server on our LUG machine. Every night it had to synchronize 3 gigabytes of data through a 256 kbps connection (I am talking 1997), and we left out all the binaries groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, usenet is dead for the future, but very, very important for the past it contains.

The default on many systems is to install a minimal Vim package that is closer to Vi in functionality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On Red Hat based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora), you need the vim-enhanced package, for example from a CentOS system I have installed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    vim-common-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z&#xD;&#xA;    vim-enhanced-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z&#xD;&#xA;    vim-minimal-7.0.109-4.el5_2.4z&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;'common' contains common libraries used by all the Vim packages. 'minimal' is the plain vi editor executables as installed by default.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On Debian based systems (like Ubuntu), you need 'vim'. For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ii  vim                  2:7.2.079-1ubuntu5  Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor&#xD;&#xA;    ii  vim-common           2:7.2.079-1ubuntu5  Vi IMproved - Common files&#xD;&#xA;    ii  vim-runtime          2:7.2.079-1ubuntu5  Vi IMproved - Runtime files&#xD;&#xA;    ii  vim-tiny             2:7.2.079-1ubuntu5  Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - compact version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These should be installed by default. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can update the default system editor for all users:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    sudo update-alternatives --config vi&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Select the version you want from the selection menu. Post installation scripts for the vim package should have already updated this, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, on a per user basis for any distribution, set up an alias in the user profile. For example if the shell is bash, edit ~username/.bashrc:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    alias vi=&quot;vim&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you may check the system vimrc (/etc/vimrc, usually) to see if compatibility mode is turned on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    set cp&#xD;&#xA;    set compatibility&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Will tell Vim to behave more like old-school Vi, no matter how you've handled using Vim per above.

I have never experienced this before, but maybe during a recent shutdown, Windows XP: MCE errored out and ruined the boot sector.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Dilemma! I don't have the Windows XP: MCE disc, because it was installed by the factory. &#xD;&#xA;I have accessed the hidden partition on the drive before (you hit a key combination on the bios screen and it comes up with an interface to fix your drive). However, I don't want to reformat the drive (which is what the interface gives me the option to do). I want to possibly fix the boot sector.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How can I achieve that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry for the long question!&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully it's clear enough.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks,&#xD;&#xA;Choco&#xD;&#xA;" />

Does anyone else have any further suggestions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Basically yesterday my Internet&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connection went down, and my diagnosis&#xD;&#xA;&gt; led to me conclude that the Ethernet&#xD;&#xA;&gt; port on the motherboard isn't working&#xD;&#xA;&gt; correctly. I discovered this by the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; following steps:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1) Attempted to ping my router (no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; response) 2) Swapped the network cable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and repeated step 1. 3) Swapped the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; router and attempted to ping that. 4)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tested both Router + Network cable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with an old laptop. Established a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connection without problem. 5) Check&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the port lights on both Router and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Ethernet Port when connecting a cable&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (neither came on when using my&#xD;&#xA;&gt; desktop. Router one came on when&#xD;&#xA;&gt; connecting old laptop). 6) Booted up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; into Safe Mode with Networking support&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to ensure only the essential drivers +&#xD;&#xA;&gt; networking was enable, ensuring no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; firewalls + potential for spyware etc.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Attempted pinging router again (no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; response).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So far I have had no success&#xD;&#xA;&gt; communicating via the port. I can ping&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 127.0.0.1 but I'm not sure whether that is handled internally, or does&#xD;&#xA;&gt; indeed communicate out via the network&#xD;&#xA;&gt; card via some loopback or not.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; ipconfig yields back a 'Media&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Disconnected' message.

They told me to format my disk and that would solve the problem (there wasn't even a mention of reinstalling windows). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm considering using a Ubuntu Live cd just to verify and argue that that is the equivalent of a format, as I'm confident that formatting is not going to help (anyone else any thoughts on this?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My motherboard is a MSI P31 Neo-F V2." />

Yes, authorities are trying to put a lid on the wild illegal activities that are going on in there. So the volume of these dubious channels will go down while using controlled news-servers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there is a vast number of perfectly legal channels which can be very interesting. Looking at the very Wikipedia article that was posted by tnorthcutt, it's evident, that the volume is still growing. Exponentially! At least it was still the case between 2006 and 2009. The graph is a bit imprecise for a better conclusion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the usability side, the whole nature of usenet being pretty much plain-text only makes it very attractive. There are no annoying blinking advertisements. Most usenet readers make reading the articles really comfortable. Much easier in fact than many online forums.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are correct that google groups (from hereon abbreviated as &quot;gg&quot;) has done &quot;something&quot; to usenet. With gg, everyone can now easily access the groups from anywhere. With a somewhat familiar interface. Even though I still prefer a dedicated news reader to the gg interface, it's undeniable advantage is that it works pretty well even through corporate firewalls.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet again, a reason why usenet is now accessible by an even wider audience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*However*, groups created in the gg &quot;universe&quot; will not appear on the regular usenet servers (at least not as far as I know). So it's become a somewhat split &quot;universe&quot;. But it could be worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you noted, some ISPs decided to deny access to *parts* of the usenet hierarchy. How much this will cripple the system, I cannot say. It remains to be seen. But given the wide range of topics, ranging from Gardening over to photography, cooking and gaming, you can find a group on nearly any topic. It would be really a shame if those all disappeared. And given the number of users, the chance is huge that there will be people that take over the ISPs jobs. As it has been seen in some P2P cases. You shut down one access route, and not a month later 10 new systems, sites and whatnot emerge from the cloud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am not particularly worried that usenet will disappear. Yes, it may lose some momentum, but it's here to stay. Too many geeks feel at home in there. There are already usenet servers which operate independent from ISPs. Some free of charge, some not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're only in for the discussions, than go ahead and use Google Groups. If only to get to know the system. If you have set up you lair in a particular group, feel comfortable there, and have access to an NNTP server you might want to look into a more sophisticated reader. There's many good free ones out there." />

A bridged VM will appear as a true host to the rest of the world.  Depending on your network environment, this can cause issues. For example, here at work, the network is configured such that a MAC address is tied to a network port in the wall.  ie: I can not unplug my desktop from the wall and connect my laptop, nor can I plug my desktop into a different network port.  As such, I can not use bridged VMs. Because a bridged VM appears as a true host on the network with it's own MAC address, my bridged VMs packets are denied at the switch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

I'd suggest using MP3Gain to both calculate the ReplayGain tag *and* apply the gain to the MP3 file and not use SoundCheck at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's why using SoundCheck is such a pain:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - By default iTunes *scans* each track for loudness information on a *per-track* basis. You probably want your songs scanned on a *per-album* basis. So you have to use another program to scan your library.&#xD;&#xA; - iTunes doesn't use the ReplayGain tag information, it does its own scanning. However it does cache the scanning results in the `COMMENT ITUNENORM` tag field (in an iTunes-specific binary format). So you have to use another program to write the `COMMENT ITUNENORM` tag field.&#xD;&#xA; - In iPhone OS 3.0.1 (on my 3GS) SoundCheck isn't applied when listening over bluetooth headphones. (I don't know if Apple did this on purpose or not.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last two bullets are what finally drove me away from using SoundCheck. If you want to use the ReplayGain information, you have to convert it into the iTunes SoundCheck format (before you add the song to your iTunes library). There isn't very good software to easily do this conversion. [Mp3tag][1] will do it ([here's how][2]) but it's hardcoded to use ReplayGain's default volume of -89dB, which is too quiet for my taste.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been much happier just applying the gain directly with MP3Gain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?s=&amp;showtopic=9139&amp;view=findpost&amp;p=36208" />

For example, my local system would use an USB port to connect to the other system while the other system has it's keyboard, mouse and video connected to the same device. Thus, my local system would send commands to the remote system and display the remote screen on my local system. That way, I would only need to have remote software on my local system and just the right keyboard/mouse/monitor drivers for the remote system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is interesting, right?

I want to find a Mac program that will select from a list of slideshows and/or albums and play them randomly.  I don't want to show just one slideshow continuously or just show one slideshow and then the program stops. I want it to randomly select them from a que. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  For example - let's say I have  two folders  - one folder is called  BESTPICTURES; the other folder is WORSTPICTURES.      Inside the folder BESTPICTURES are 3 files ( Flowers, Animals, Mountains )    Inside WORSTPICTURES  are another 3 files ( Junkyards, Landfills, and Dumpsters).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I want a photo  or slideshow presentation program that will first  RANDOMLY select either the BESTPICTURES or WORSTPICTURES    main folder.  Then I want the program to RANDOMLY select one of the files from whichever main folder it picked to start the show.  Let's say it picked BESTPICTURES  and now I want it to RANDOMLY select among the files: Flowers, Animals, Mountains  until all 3 files have been selected and shown. &#xD;&#xA;  When it goes through all the pictures in the BESTPICTURE  folder then I want it to go to WORSTPICTURES  and again  RANDOMLY select one of its files: Landfills, Junkyards, or Dumpsters  - and then another one of the files  and then the other until all 3 of those files in the folder WORSTPICTURES have been displayed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Then I want it to loop and begin again - continuously - perhaps the second time around randomly picking  WORSTPICTURES  as its first folder and then again various random selections from among its files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  I want to set up an iMac monitor on the wall and turn it into a constant digital photo album. But I can't find a 3rd party presentation program that will que up a bunch of folders with files and go through them randomly.   I don't just want all the pictures tossed into one grabbag. I want to preserve a  themes element and have the program select from the various themes in a highly random fashion.   Does anything like this exist?  &#xD;&#xA;  Please help if you can.  &#xD;&#xA;  Am having a real hard time finding something like this. You would think that with the appeal of digital photo frames and photo presentation interest that there would be a way to randomly show a que of photo albums or slideshows  continuously.&#xD;&#xA;  Sincerely,   Pete          blurij@gmail.com" />

If you have MSDNAA through your academic institution, you can get XP, Vista, or 7 free of charge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can install Windows on your Mac two different ways: a native install or through virtualization.  A native install means installing [BootCamp][1], repartitioning your drive, and doing other nasty things, while a virtual install requires a host application. For your purposes the free version of [VirtualBox][2] should do just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before you start this, you need to take into account the model of your Mac.  Check &quot;About this Mac&quot; from the Apple menu and make sure that its an Intel Mac - PowerPC Macs can't run Windows __at all__.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For VirtualBox, installation is simple.  Download, mount, and run the VirtualBox installer.  Download the Windows version you want from MSDNAA - XP will likely work best in virtualization.  Create a new Virtual Machine, and set VirtualBox to load the Windows disk image as its CDROM drive.  Boot the VM, and install Windows as you normally would.  [There's a more in-depth guide here on Sun's website.][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You say the course *requries* Visual Studio -- talk to your professor about using [XCode][4] (OS X's native development environment) or using [GCC (the Gnu Compiler Collection)][5] from the commandline.  If your professor knows their stuff, they should be able to tell you at least about GCC.  With the correct libraries, you should be able to develop and compile GUI Windows prorams with GCC, but you'll still need a native installation of Windows to make sure they perform as expected.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.virtualbox.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://blogs.sun.com/dfan/entry/installing_xp_on_mac_os&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/Xcode/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://gcc.gnu.org/" />

If it has been used many times or is an older battery, it may be working perfectly fine.  Batteries wear out over time and use and will slowly lose some of it's capacity over time.  The link above explains in detail about battery condition and life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That article however is very technical, so let me find you a more lay man terms explanation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a quote from a battery reseller that explains it well: (http://www.bixnet.com/batterytips.html)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; How Long Do Batteries Last (What is the Life Span of the New Battery)?&#xD;&#xA;The life of a rechargeable battery operating under normal conditions is generally between 500 to 800 charge-discharge cycles. This translates into one and a half to three years of battery life for the average user. As the rechargeable battery begins to die, the user will notice a decline in the running time of the battery. When a battery that originally operated the notebook for two hours is only supplying the user with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They are selling a product, so of course they are going to say you need a new one right away. So what can you do about it?  One way is to use a piece of software that can tell you more detailed information about your battery and help you perform battery calibration. This is a free product:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://batterycare.bkspot.com/en/index.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also accomplish this for free by basically charging the laptop all the way and then letting it discharge all the way. Then charge it all the way back up. In other words, a full discharge cycle. It will not restore lots of battery life, but it will help make sure the battery it running at its best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: You stated that the laptop was about a year old. That sounds perfectly normal then if it is a year old. I have had the same thing happen to many new laptops after a year of use. If you are experiencing battery life times that are too low for your needs, then it would be time to get a new battery. Otherwise, the battery sounds like it is working as expected. It will slowly lose life over use and time." />

Quicksilver indexes basically your whole system, giving you access to just about any file, but out of the box, Launchy doesn't seem to do this. Can I just add C:\ to the directories in the Catalog dialog, or will this be overload, with all the drivers and .dll's and miscellaneous cruft in Windows?

After the USB is built you first need to boot up off the first option in GRUB. Once the initial windows partiotioning and install is done boot off the USB again but wait for a second option to appear. Then select what HDD and partition the install was placed on, then it will run through the second part of installing windows (GUI part). This is needed because otherwise you will get hal errors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This seems like the easiest way to get an XP installer onto a USB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://serverfault.com/questions/2952/boot-and-install-windows-from-a-usb-thumb-drive&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.google.com.au/search?client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-AU%3Aofficial&amp;channel=s&amp;hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3.exe&amp;meta=&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=" />

Here's why:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even though you may visibly be able to browse to the *www.webkinz.com* home page, the Flash application that gets downloaded to log you into the game actually uses *other* web servers behind the scenes to load game content (Flash SWFs, images, sounds, etc.) and to communicate with the servers that implement the game logic such as remembering what kind of pet you have, its name, inventory, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, large sites like that often use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to optimize bandwidth and scale to many concurrent users, so many host names or IP addresses are typically involved in the whitelist setup, even though in any given *single* session your browser might only use one of those addresses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a Webkinz support page that lists the IP addresses that one needs to allow for the game to function.  See: [Webkinz World is being blocked by my Parental Control software - what do I do?][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, I came across [this Apple Support Discussions thread][2] which indicates a workaround may be necessary since Webkinz uses bare IP addresses and not host names for some of the servers it connects to.  The workaround is to add those addresses to /etc/hosts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would guess that workaround is necessary since the parental controls logic probably wants to perform a *reverse name lookup* on any bare IP address, to make sure the site being accessed isn't actually one being restricted by host name.  Otherwise, it would be possible for smart kids who knew a site's real IP address to bypass any restriction that used only the name!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.webkinz.com/faq/c.html#18&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6197934" />

Only OWC and Newer Technology are Mac-oriented companies. Any contact with their customer support departments stands a better chance at resolution than might be had with a more Windows-centric operation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Between those two, I recommend Newer Technology's *Guardian MAXimus* enclosure over OWC's *Mercury Elite - AL Pro*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unlike the RAID 1 setup on the OWC model, the mirroring on the Guardian is hardware-based. Whether or not that's an advantage in stability and robustness of operation is up to you. It would be my preference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fan on the Guardian is thermo-controlled, which I gather is a feature you'd appreciate. While I could not determine if the fan on the OWC is or is not temperature regulated, I do know that on my OWC Dual Bay RAID 0 enclosure, the fan is an &quot;always on&quot; proposition. It's not an issue for me, as the fan is quiet enough by any reasonable measure. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;Since the enclosures look so much alike, since they specify the same figures for operating environment, MTBF, and shock and vibration resistance, and since OWC and NT are co-located, I'm led to believe the two boxes share the same OEM. I mention this because while I do not own any NT enclosures, I do have four OWC Mercury Elite enclosures, and I expect it's not unlikely my experience could offer a hint as to what a purchaser of a Guardian MAXimus might expect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of the four, one is seven years old, one is six, one three and the last less than a year.

The benefit of the repair is that you don't have to safely dispose of the old monitor and you're not buying something new that has to be manufactured and transported around the world with all the associated environmental issues (if that concerns you of course). The benefit of buying new is that you have something that's better than what you have now, might last longer, or even be more energy efficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course a cost on one side is a benefit on the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's up to you to put a price on the various non monetary costs/benefits and decide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally I'd investigate the repair option first.

That way, when you log on (assuming your computers are in the same workgroup, which it looks like they are)  you will able to share the printer with the other computer.  The reason this will work is because the guest account is an account with no password right?  So, you don't have to enter a password to see and use the printer over the network.  When the guest account is disabled, you aren't automatically able to use the printer over the network because you need to enter the username and password on the other computer.  One way to do this is to create a duplicate account on the second computer.  Windows will automatically log you on, assuming you are using an account with a duplicate on the print server.  That way you can print without logging in manually.  You can also go to &quot;My Network Places&quot;, double-click on the computer with the printer attached, and enter the username and password for that computer when it asks you to log in, but you will have to do this every time you log on." />

There is no &quot;FileChanged&quot; event to hook into. This means writing complex plugins such as [org-mode][1] is nigh-on impossible in Vim. You have to fudge it by tracking cursor movement, which adds lots of corner cases that cause slip ups. I wrote a plugin for Vim to emulate [Emacs's diff-mode][2] for editing patches and hit upon this issue. It works, but requires some inelegant `autocmd * CurosorMoved` hacks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is probably also why there are far fewer plugins for Vim that integrate external tools in the same way that there are for Emacs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is **no clean way to map Alt/Meta and a keypress to an action** in Vim. There are numerous workarounds, but none of them work particularly well in all cases. If you use a UTF-8 shell and terminal Vim, you are mostly out of luck. This means that you can't emulate the readline/Emacs keys in insert mode as is attempted in the [Vimacs plugin][3]. It may break in GVim or in terminal Vim depending on how you do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other difference is that in Emacs the key mappings are uniform in all of the edit buffers. **Vim has a different set of keyboard shortcuts when you are in command mode** after typing a :. These keys are not like the usual readline mappings, nor are they like the rest of the Vim keys. For example, you have to use Shift-Left to go back a word instead of typing b. Hitting Ctrl-F enters a strange edit buffer for the command line that has its own set of rules. This makes opening new files a bit of a pain as you have to remember that you are not on the command line, nor are you in regular Vim.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use Vim exclusively - including using [It's All Text!][4] - but I appreciate where Emacs is coming from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://orgmode.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Diff-Mode.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.algorithm.com.au/code/vimacs/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125" />

'minimal' is the plain vi editor executables as installed by default.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On Debian based systems (like Ubuntu), you need 'vim'.

On Debian/Ubuntu, you can update the default system editor for all users:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    sudo update-alternatives --config vi&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Select the version you want from the selection menu. Post installation scripts for the vim package should have already updated this, though. Use `--config editor` to change the default editor for all users on the system (Ubuntu 9.04 original default is nano, for example).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, on a per user basis for any distribution, set up an alias in the user profile. For example if the shell is bash, edit ~username/.bashrc:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    alias vi=&quot;vim&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you may check the system vimrc (/etc/vimrc, usually) to see if compatibility mode is turned on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    set cp&#xD;&#xA;    set compatibility&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Will tell Vim to behave more like old-school Vi, no matter how you've handled using Vim per above.

I've come over the [Asus Eee Top 1602][1], which seems to be what I'm looking for. Also the [HP TouchSmart series][2] covers my needs, at a higher price, but with multitouch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When it comes to functionality, I believe these are my initial needs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Family calender&#xD;&#xA; - Notes / shopping lists&#xD;&#xA; - Internet radio&#xD;&#xA; - Pictures&#xD;&#xA; - Check mail&#xD;&#xA; - Webcam, for family calls&#xD;&#xA; - Will only be used by adults (for now at least). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, given my usage-requirements...  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Would I need multitouch for a PC like this or would it suffice with singletouch?&#xD;&#xA; 2. Should I expect to run Windows7, or XP with some extra features (like the Eee?). What about any linux distros?&#xD;&#xA; 3. What software should I be looking at to pull this off? ie: [Evernote][3], [Google Calendar][4], [Picasa 3][5].... The possibility to sync items across several PC's is a big plus.&#xD;&#xA; 4. What else can I use a kitchen PC for? Emphasis on practical use&#xD;&#xA; 5. Should I just give up and go and buy myself a table-radio and a whiteboard?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:**  &#xD;&#xA;We already have a couple of laptops in the household, so another portable laptop / netbook isn't what I'm looking for, unless of course you can give good arguments for it.   &#xD;&#xA;Also I'm looking for more feedback from people that have tried setting up a similar concept.  &#xD;&#xA; Or have hands-on experience with touch pcs / tablets / wall-mounted solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Conclusion**&#xD;&#xA;I feel I didn't get enough feedback from those that have experience with wall-mounted pcs, but I still received some feedback that got me thinking of alternatives. I have still not decided which way to go. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm more or less set on waiting for some reasonably priced Windows 7-based walltops, since the Asus / MSI Top's both have what I'm looking for at a good price. Given that there is a real multi-touch windows-OS around the corner, then getting a system that supports this is a must. Alternatively, I MAY get the current versions with Vista / XP &amp; single-touch even more reasonably, which would weigh up for the lack of multi-touch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I will update this post when I have made my decision.

Short of locking the cat's out of the room, or putting a wall (floor to ceiling, cat's like to jump and climb) of chicken wire between you and the cats, isn't going to do much.  Also, the barrier will cause incessant meowing, which can only be stopped by you giving the cats some attention.  I suggest you get a less needy pet, like a fish." />

I'd like to move the router to a better location, but the desktop still needs to be connected to it, so I thought I'd try to use the fiber.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Is this possible (without spending a ridiculous amount of money)?&#xD;&#xA; - What would I need in terms of equipment?\&#xD;&#xA; - If this is not feasible, can you think of some use I would get out of having fiber in the walls? Seems like kind of a waste.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a wiring box in my dad's closet and there are six connectors there (3 pairs of 2) hooked up to some wire that is looped and run into the walls. I THINK the connectors are ST connectors, but I need to do some more research. Still don't know what the wire is, but I'll look more closely at that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FWIW, I have a huge amount of experience with PC repair and general computer applications and programming, as well as plenty of experience with Ethernet networking on a small scale. But I've never worked with fiber and know very little about it (obviously)." />

If you are looking to extend a personal wifi network then there are many range extenders out there.  I believe linksys makes one that just plugs into a wall outlet that is in range of the router and rebroadcasts the signal out further.  That would probably be the fastest/cheapest option.  Depending on what type of router it is you could also consider flashing a new bios to it like seen [here].

Your only possible way of avoiding such files from being created is to have very standard folders all accross the board, and if a folder does not deviate at all from the standard, the desktop.ini file may not have to be created. If it shows up in the existing counts, although you have not modified the file's attribute, there is nothing that you can do. However, if your default folder display config is to show all hidden and system files, that may explain why. Try turning this option off in Explorer, and see whether it makes a difference. This also depends on what you use to perform the file count. If you only use the standard Windows Explorer, that's the way of doing it. Otherwise, it depends on what you use to perform the file count." />

([Source: IBM](http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/technolo/7200rpm.pdf)) Which is why you'll find larger sized hard drives will actually give you better transfer rates (more data per sector). A 7200 RPM drive should be sufficient for most applications depending on what file you're attempting to read and how fast. (eg. It won't be sufficient for Uncompressed HD, REDCODE, etc.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other way as specified before is to set up a RAID in order to attempt to saturate the link you have between the hard drive(s) and your computer. RAIDs, fibre channel networks, or even 10-gigabit (or even 100-gigabit) ethernet networks can get very expensive very fast but can offer speeds not possible with more normal connections." />

Netscape had also done a lot of damage to the implementation due to its various commercial requirements. &quot;Mozilla&quot; was the open version of the code that Netscape-&gt;AOL funded because it was going to re-implement the functionality in Communicator 4.x. So, it had to have most of everything that Netscape wanted, minus the branding.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But overtime, the community has done a lot of great work to improve Seamonkey. Some of that is work in Gecko, which benefits Firefox as well, but a lot of it is in the Seamonkey side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people thought Mozilla Application Suite would die when mozilla.org switched to developing Firefox-only, but I always believed that a smaller power-user audience would need a swiss-army knife version of the Gecko browser. I just thought Netscape had picked the wrong kind of tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A couple examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* explicit support for profiles. (Firefox added this back later...), but if you test or develop, you can flip back and forth from everything in your profile (cookies, cache, etc).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* menu access to Cookie Manager. When I test cookie related problems in Firefox, I keep grumbling about having to go into Prefs just to blow away one thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some of this might be in newer extensions, but Firefox+Thunderbird can never be as strongly integrated as the modules in Seamonkey (after all that was the original appeal of a single multi-module application).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;...So give it a try, depending on your work tasks, you might prefer it." />

Right now, the data is probably still there, but every time you touch it, you risk changing that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second — contact your RAID vendor for recovery procedures and/or tools. For example, I've had the metadata on a 3ware (now AMCC) array get messed up — my fault, PEBKAC — and 3ware support worked with me to repair the mess, including sending tools and reconstructing the metadata. If your vendor can't/won't help you, keep that in mind next time your consider a purchase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, assuming you can not get support from your vendor, I'd first make copies of each disk, block-by-block by moving them (one at a time, and make sure to label so you can put them back to the same connector) to a plain-old SATA controller, and then only work on copies of the disks. Then, with the disk copies, I'd try and see if I could get Linux's MD driver to handle it, by trying to figure out (a) the offset to the first block on each disk and (b) the block size by using a hex dumper such as xxd. Then set up loopback devices if needed (for offsets) and use mdadm --build, definitely in read-only mode! Confirm data is correct, if so, copy data.

You have to explicitly define every command you want to use fn for and mapping to control and then fn is really hacky.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to work another way.  At first I thought you might be able to select both the &quot;command key acts as control key&quot; check box and the &quot;fn key acts as control key&quot; but that didn't seem to work. Ditto for changing to control with Alex's method above.  I was also unable to find the modifier for assigning commands to fn, and Apple's documentation seems to indicate that it's done at a lower level than keybinding has access to.

When the Win2k source leak happened years ago, much of the APIs were C++, though the kernel remained in C.  I'm not sure of more recent tools, but I'd imagine that, with the shift to the .NET framework, a lot of new stuff in the Windows world is in C#.  (Also, &quot;Visual C++&quot; is an IDE, not a language.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In UNIX land, C is king.  Most apps and core OS code are written in plain C, with C++ taking the back seat.  Mac OS X, being UNIX, has at least an underpinning layer of C, with the user side of things featuring lots of Objective-C (though some is still C++, or at least Objective-C++, such as the current, pre-Snow Leopard version of Finder).  Then again, Objective-C is basically C with Smalltalk-style objects (it's a true superset, unlike C++), so you could argue that's all C, as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some popular *nix apps are C++, though.  Firefox is, and since WebKit is as well, I would assume that Chrome follows suit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully that helps.  To put it simply, most apps seem to be in the C family :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;EDIT:&lt;/b&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You *can* make something like MS Word in Perl or *random interpreted language X*.

Right now, the data is probably still there, but every time you touch it, you risk changing that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second — contact your RAID vendor for recovery procedures and/or tools. For example, I've had the metadata on a 3ware (now AMCC) array get messed up — my fault, PEBKAC — and 3ware support worked with me to repair the mess, including sending tools and reconstructing the metadata. If your vendor can't/won't help you, keep that in mind next time your consider a purchase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, assuming you can not get support from your vendor, I'd first make copies of each disk, block-by-block by moving them (one at a time, and make sure to label so you can put them back to the same connector) to a plain-old SATA controller, and then only work on copies of the disks. Then, with the disk copies, I'd try and see if I could get Linux's MD driver to handle it, by trying to figure out (a) the offset to the first block on each disk and (b) the block size by using a hex dumper such as xxd. Then set up loopback devices if needed (for offsets) and use mdadm --build, definitely in read-only mode! Confirm data is correct, if so, copy data.

Knowing you can roll back in an instant is a relieving thought. Snapshots also take only a few seconds. A colleague and I recently deployed an OpenSolaris NAS for a smallish college (200+ students) for virtual machine iSCSI storage for Citrix XenServer, student file storage and administration files. Files are checksummed so you have the guarantee that if there is a bit error at the harddrive level that you'll find out instead of your files corrupting silently. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having a bit of a budget we got a server with 9 disks, 2 for the OS mirrored using ZFS, 4 for data, 2 parity (using ZFS RAIDZ2) and 1 hot spare. Each was 1TB which brought it down to about 2.5T+ or thereabouts usable (you lose some space for the 1TB to 1TiB conversion and other overhead like filesystem data). Snapshotting the root storage pool took less than 2 seconds. When you go ZFS, you wonder how you'll ever go back, and why this isn't standard. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Snapshots can also be sent to another computer running the same version of ZFS using 'zfs send' which can be done over SSH. These changes are sent incrementally so there's no wastage there. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only downside is knowing the right commands, although OpenSolaris has a nice scheduling manager for daily snapshots however I haven't used it. Sharing via iSCSI, CIFS/SMB, or NFS is fairly trivial - but in the latest version using the new framework COMSTAR yields some problems. Make sure you're using the right guide for your release if you go down this path. 2009.06 has a few changes since 2008.11 which I recommend. I wouldn't use it as a desktop either - Gnome and X seem a bit in need of attention. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last thing: you need 512MB to 1G minimum of memory to let ZFS run smoothly. YMMV though, so give it a shot and see what you think. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have a read through the docs: http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Provisioning+with+iSCSI+and+Solaris+ZFS+in+10+Minutes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And maybe Lesser known Solaris Features http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/pages/lksfbook.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And if you're feeling like testing some stuff http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Oh and one last bit of information for anyone reading: make sure if you have a RAID card and you want to utilize the features of ZFS that it can serve up the disks in JBOD as opposed to a predetermined RAID configuration as dictated by the card.

What would be the difference between &quot;NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 256MB&quot; and &quot;NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB&quot; in terms of gameplay? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** i guess it might be important to say that I would be running this on a 1920x1200 1080p 24&quot; external monitor. that might be important information to the answer to this question :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;so, where i'm i most likely to see the effect of the 512 as compared to the 256 with computer games and my hd external monitor at that resolution?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 2:** I think it is highly ridiculous and incorrect that this thread was closed. The topic of this thread is not video games. It's graphics cards and their RELATION to computer games. That is computer hardware. If you want, think of it as hardware in RELATION to high-end graphics processing. They are synonymous. I'm sorry the words 'video games' may are apparently taboo here, but this post is indeed not about video games, and there are indeed many valid questions about computer hardware that could be asked in the same way. Personally, I don't see the difference why I can post about graphics cards and HDTV quality but NOT about graphics cards and computer game quality - they are both equally valid and essentially talking about the same thing, however one uses the tabooed &quot;video games&quot; and the other does not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 3:** Here is another example of why this question should be re-opened. Let's say I asked the same question, but it's effects on working with Final Cut Pro (a &quot;legitimate&quot; question I imagine). Now, this is a question about specific hardware and how they affect the performance of a specific piece of software. Very general structure of a question, yes? Let's treat it as a template for a question then. In place of software, I could have put &quot;rendering 3d images in photoshop.&quot; Again, I would think this would pass as acceptable on SuperUser. But all of the sudden, if I put &quot;World of Warcraft&quot; into this 'software' slot in my template question, this question becomes absurd and unacceptable for SuperUser. **Why exactly is that?** Computer games are just as related to computer software as any other program and there are legitimate questions for &quot;power users&quot; about how specific computer hardware affects games, just like anything else. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just in my own opinion, I think the creators of SuperUser meant that it shouldn't be used to ask questions about how to beat video games (ie, become www.gamefaqs.com or something), for example, when disallowing computer game questions, and **not** how computer hardware can affect the intensive graphical requirements of computer programs that are graphics intensive (which, in reality, is what computer games are)." />

They're the same card with different amounts of memory. Granted there's a couple of games that state minimum requirements higher than 256mb of graphics memory, but these games wouldn't play well on this gpu anyway.  With more memory you will be able to turn on higher resolution textures if given the option, and you might find the game stuttering less between scene changes that force it to swap out a lot of textures, but honestly, most good games have worked out what to do about these cases a long time ago and generally handle themselves just fine.  Personally though, I'd choose the extra ram, because 4 years from now, when I'm still likely to have the same machine, some of the latest wiz-bang OS X 10.5+4y features might list 512mb as minimum requirements.

The best solution I can offer is to download Revo Uninstaller and use it to uninstall Firefox.  When it asks if you would like to remove all personal settings, you must say &quot;yes&quot; so it will uninstall the profile for that user account (basically reset everything to like the first time you installed it).  Revo will also allow you to have it scan the registry and the hard disk for any remaining files.  Check that option as well.  Once Firefox is uninstalled, empty the recycle bin if there are any remnants there and reboot.  Once you've rebooted, reinstall Firefox.  That's what I did, and it worked for me.  Hope it helps." />

The same thing happens if you open a file, or view a web page: the thing you're looking at on your screen has to live in RAM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When your RAM gets full (because you're running too many programs, or have too many documents open), your operating system starts taking stuff out of RAM and putting it back on disk (in a &quot;swap file&quot;).  If those bits of memory are needed again, it will swap something _else_ out, and then bring them back in.]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is _slow_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your computer is swapping, you will benefit from more RAM.  A symptom of swapping is: you alt-tab to a window you haven't used in a little while and it is slow coming up, and your hard disk is grinding.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, RAM-wise, you want enough to stop your system swapping.  Over this point, you may get benefit from more, but it will be much less.  How much is that?  For typical Windows XP usage, 2GB.  I have read that typical Vista usage needs 4GB.  Personally, I doubt you'll get any benefit from more than 4GB unless you're doing something really memory-intensive (and, also, you need to be running a 64-bit operating system to even see more than 4GB)." />

Two options you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In your Firefox options, Main tab, General section, set Firefox to start up with a blank page. Set your homepage, however to iGoogle. Whenever you open up Firefox, you'll be greeted by a blank page that doesn't steal your focus. If you want iGoogle, just click Home or hit Alt+Home.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, which may or may not be better or for you, is to set your homepage to be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `about:blank|http://www.google.com/ig`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will essentially load a blank screen in the first tab for you to go anywhere you want erstwhile iGoogle loads *in the background.* Want to just go to iGoogle? CTRL+F4 to close the blank screen, or a CTRL+Tab to switch tabs. I take it there's a reason you have iGoogle as your home page, which is why I mentioned this alternative.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other than that, there's no Firefox option to prevent a page from taking focus; while there's a userscript called Focus Killer that says it'll prevent such behavior, my own tests indicate it only does this after the fact; i.e. iGoogle took focus away from the address bar, then a bit later Focus Killer took focus away from iGoogle. In the end, there was no focus on the address bar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Only other option would be to disable scripts from running, but I don't think you'd want that at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An annoying problem, I feel your pain (they'd do this during Gmail sign on while I was typing my password, so that it'd mess up both fields and show a large portion of my password due to me not stopping in time).

The easiest way would be to use [FierfoxPortable][4], and install it inside your Dropbox. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In princpile, this will keep *everything* synced. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there might be some glitches if you launch Firefox on a machine before it finished downloading the latest version. Therefore for bookmarks and passwords I suggest installing a bookmark syncing solution. My personal favorite is [xmarks][5], but there are other solutions, such as [Delicious][6] or [Gmarks][7]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You will also want to delete from time to time the &quot;conflicted copy&quot; files that are generated when you launch Firefox before the end of syncronization.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I also turned off the phishing filter off, so it doesn't have to sync the pretty big urlclassifer database. I trust myself to identify phishing attempts well enough.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Weave][8]**. Weave is a very promising application from Mozilla that I have yet to try. It has a potential of doing much better than Dropbox, as it's tailor-made for Firefox. It's a solution for a mixed-os situation (e.g. if you want to sync your profile between a Windows and a Linux machine), and also might work better behind some Firewalls. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Right now, it syncs [bookmarks, browsing history, saved passwords and tabs][9]. That is, not extensions, and not other settings. So for extensions you'll have to use [FEBE][10] and manually (though easily) sync after installing new extensions. This might not be that bad if you don't install and remove extensions very often. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://labs.mozilla.com/weave/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.getdropbox.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.getdropbox.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.xmarks.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3615&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2888&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://labs.mozilla.com/weave/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://labs-wpmu.stage.mozilla.com/weave/what-are-the-main-features-of-weave/&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109" />

You should configure Update Manager to upgrade you to the releases that interest you. Each release of Ubuntu comes with [upgrade instructions](http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading), and following these instructions should be sufficient. Very rarely, something will go wrong and you will have to install fresh. So, you should prepare your system for a fresh install before you upgrade versions (ie. backup data, configurations etc), but you shouldn't have to do a fresh install unless required. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Is there some upgrade path that requires getting the new distro version?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No. You can configure Update Manager to upgrade you to any new release. It will get the updated version of the packages, configure and upgrade your system.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When there is a new release, Update Manager will show you its availability and ask your permission to upgrade. You will be given a warning that it's a new release, with the option to continue on your current release till you feel ready to upgrade. It is not done in  usual fashion i.e. the packages that constitute the new release don't just show up in the Update Manager list, with no indication that installing them will upgrade you to a newer system version." />

The RAM gets a command for information and then sends a burst of data to the CPU which stores the required data (and a bunch of extra data that was close to the address the CPU wanted) into the highest level cache, the CPU then progressively asks the different caches to send smaller and smaller chunks of data down the levels of caches until it is in the level 1 cache which then gets read directly into a CPU register. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How does this process work when the CPU writes to memory? Does the computer go backwards down the levels of cache (in reverse order as compared to read)? If so, what about synchronizing the information in the different caches with the main memory? Also, how is the speed of a write operation compared to a read one? What happens if I'm continuously writing to RAM, such as in the case of a bucket sort?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks in advance, &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; -Faken" />

Based on that and how available you want the information to be is where you can start from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, you could get a NAS box with several drives in it, not just 2. Then you have the option of either RAID 5 or 6 ([Here is a basic RAID information page][1], and [here is a more advanced explanation of what RAID does (very dry)][2]), where even when you have a drive failure, you can still access the information you need for the business whilst the failed drive is being rebuilt onto the spare automatically.

The simple answer is, well, it depends on how the write was done and what sort of caching there is. [Here's a useful primer on how caches work](http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/papers/cache6.pdf). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;CPUs can write data in various ways. Without any caching, the data is stored in memory straightaway and the CPU waits for the write to complete. With caching, the CPU usually stores data in program order, i.e. if the program writes to address A then address B then the memory A will be written to before memory B, regardless of the caching. The caching only affects when the physical memory is updated, and this depends on the type of caching used (see the above link). Some CPUs can also store data non-temporally, that is, the writes can be re-ordered to make the most of memory bandwidth. So, writing to A, then B, then (A+1) could be reorderd to writing to A then A+1 in a single burst, then B.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another complication is when more than one CPU is present. Depending on the way the system is designed, writes by one CPU won't be seen by other CPUs because the data is still in the first CPUs cache (the cache is dirty). In multiple CPU systems, making each CPU's cache match what is in physical memory is termed cache consistancy. There are various ways this can be acheived.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, the above is geared towards Pentium processors. Other processors can do things in other ways. Take, for example, the PS3's Cell processor. The basic architecture of a Cell CPU is one PowerPC core with several Cell cores (on the PS3 there are eight cells one of which is always disabled to improve yields). Each cell has its own local memory, sort of an L1 cache which is never written to system RAM. Data can be transferred between this local RAM and system RAM using DMA (Direct Memory Access) transfers. The cell can access system RAM and the RAM of other cells using what appears to be normal reads and writes but this just triggers a DMA transfer (so it's slow and really should be avoided). The idea behind this system is that the game is not just one program, but many smaller programs that combine to do the same thing (if you know *nix then it's like piping command line programs to achieve more complex tasks).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, writing to RAM used to be really simple in the days when CPU speed matched RAM speed, but as CPU speed increased and caches were introduced, the process became more complex with many different methods.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Skizz" />

Because WIN32 applications are limited to 2 GB of memory, the amount of memory that you could allocate would be related to the size of RAM that's still available in your application. With the additional /3GB parameter in boot.ini, you could make this amount a bit bigger. And if your system has less than 2 GB of RAM, increasing the size of the swap file will also help to send up to 2 GB.&#xD;&#xA;Of course, the client application also needs to be able to use this data. Trying to fir 1500 MB of data in a process that only has 600 MB available will not work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if you truly want to send huge blocks of data, use temporary files instead! One trick would be by using a COM interface. Create your own COM class first, which needs to wrap around the data, where the data should be file-based. Then create a temporary file and add your data to this file. Create a COM object which links to this temporary file and send the COM object over to the client. The client needs to be able to handle the COM object too but could then use it to extract the data from it again. This would theoretically provide you unlimited memory space.&#xD;&#xA;Drawback: you need to write a COM class and know what you're doing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or use other techniques to send over the data.

This worked for me for several years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then I switched to a Mac, and wanted iPhoto to manage things for me.  I quickly realized that the majority of the timestamps on my photos were wrong.  I had never bothered to go into the camera and set the date and time before, and it never bothered me because I managed everything myself.  So now my photos were a mess, and I kept giving myself a headache because I kept trying to do things the old way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally I gave in and fixed all the timestamps on my old photos, and let iPhoto do it's thing.  I'm glad I did.  Why?  Because now I make sure my camera has the right date &amp; time set on it before I shoot anything.  This is how it *should* be.  Your camera writes tons of useful metadata to your digital photos called [**Exif**][1] data.  This data is very important, and a vast majority of photo software and web services can/do use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Picasa has an import too that will categorize your photos in it's own way based on the Exif metadata.  It will also let you keep things organized for yourself.  I feel like this is because for the longest time, Windows users didn't have a better option for managing their photos, and most were used to doing it manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even if you don't let your software manage your photos for you, do yourself a favor and make sure you set the date &amp; time on the camera correctly.

Some standards include HTTP, SMTP, POP3, …&#xD;&#xA;There is official documentation that describes each individual standard and most standards have been around for 0 to 30 years.  &#xD;&#xA;Each standard document is a very detailed explanation of what the standard is and how it works.  Typically a standard has an RFC number associated with it, but there are many different types of standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Protocols**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP and POP3 are ‘standards’.  Each standard describes a different protocol.  A protocol is any kind of communication between 2 or more computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to send email.  Your computer uses SMTP to send email.   [See RFC 821, August 1982][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is POP3?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 is the ‘standards’ protocol that is used to receive email.  Your computer uses POP3 to receive email.  POP3 is also referred to as simply POP.  See [RFC 1939, May 1996][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;POP3 typically will connect to the mail server and download messages to your computer.  It can then optionally delete the message from the server (which it is usually setup to do). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email works**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to user B.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A writes up an email and presses send.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer, uses SMTP communication to send the email to User A’s (Yes A, not B) SMTP server.  &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s SMTP server, sends the email to user B’s SMTP server using SMTP communication.  &#xD;&#xA;- User B when he feels like it, contacts his SMTP server and uses POP3 to download the   messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Some important notes:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to send email is to use SMTP.  (Actually you can also use MAPI and some other things but let's not get into that) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to receive email is to use POP3. (Actually there is also IMAPv4, but we'll pretend that POP3 is the only way)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How Email Applications work:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SMTP communication is present on your computer, no matter what email client you use.  Any time an email is sent out, your computer uses SMTP to send the email.  It doesn’t matter if you're using Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a custom made program.  All programs use SMTP to send emails.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By using standards you are guaranteed that, even know user A uses Outlook, and user B uses Eudora, and they both have different SMTP servers both of the users will be able to communicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is HTTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I can get to what web mail is, you first need to know what HTTP is.&#xD;&#xA;HTTP is just another standard protocol.  But HTTP is meant to download files and web pages, unlike SMTP which is meant to send emails.   See [HTTP 1.1 RFC 2616, June 1999][3]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is web mail?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Web mail is an online web page that allows you to send and receive emails using HTTP. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But wait a minute, didn’t I just say that the ONLY way to send email was using SMTP?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes!  What the web page does, is provide you with a form that you fill out.  Your computer doesn’t know that it is any different from a form that you fill out to enter your credit card information, or a form that you fill out to enter your home address, or a form that you fill out to sign into another web site.  All your computer knows is that you are filling out a form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you press the send button, your web browser sends the form to the server.   The server knows that this form is for email though.  So the server interprets the form and extracts the needed information.  The HTTP server then uses SMTP to send the message.  Because the only way that a message is going to get from User A to User B is using SMTP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the web browser has done is fooled you into thinking that you are sending an email.  But what’s really happening, is that your web browser is filling out a form, and then the web server is using SMTP to send your email.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Can you give me a web mail walk through ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. User A wants to send an email to User B, User A is going to use web mail.&#xD;&#xA;- User A uses his browser to type in an internet address (for example: www.hotmail.com). &#xD;&#xA;- User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server and ask for the web page that is used for web mail in this case.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that gives him options to compose mail, check mail, …&#xD;&#xA;- User A clicks on the compose a message link. Again User A’s computer uses HTTP to contact the server.&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with the web page (which contains a form) that allows User A to compose a message.&#xD;&#xA;- User A fills in the web page and presses send.  The page is sent back to the server using HTTP.&#xD;&#xA;- In the background, unknown to User A, the web server uses SMTP to send the email to User B. Why? Because the only way to send an email is to use SMTP&#xD;&#xA;- The server responds (using HTTP) to User A’s computer with a web page that says the email was sent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**How does the web server use SMTP?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since SMTP is a standard protocol it uses SMTP in the same way any program would use SMTP.  See the section ‘How email works’.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is IMAPv4?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I mentioned IMAPv4 earlier.  IMAPv4 is a second method used by email clients to retrieve your emails. IMAPv4 is also referred to as more simply IMAP.  IMAPv4 is more complex than POP3, but gives you the ability to work on your email from multiple computers.  If you use more than one computer, and you'd like to access your email from both computers, IMAP is the way to go.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMAP stores all of its data on the mail server.  In that way each mail client from each different computer can be in sync.  When you read an email from one computer, your work computer will also see that the message is read.  Since data is stored on the server, IMAP email accounts are typically more expensive. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reference][4] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/smtp/rfc0821.txt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brianbondy.com/blog/id/83/" />

I can't reliably shut down my laptop, and sometimes, I can't start it when the external drive is plugged in. Rarely, my laptop doesn't start at all even after I unplugged the device. I have to power cycle several times before it is willing to start. When the computer is running, everything seems to be fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I deducted the problem to the USB connection, as it seems to power-back my computer through the USB's 5V wire, which might lack protective diodes, causing the machine's BIOS to be confused. My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is this back-powering property general - e.g. should I buy a new rack to solve the issue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does this 5V damage my laptop in any way?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Follow up to my [previous question][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update from my comments:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry about the terminology, I have 500GB SATA HDD in a rack, which has its own power supply and a USB cable to plug it into a computer - the OS sees it as jet another HDD. My laptop worked fine before I purchased this external device. It is a Spire GigaPod VIII&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is directly attached to my laptop. It is independent which of my 4 hubs I plug it in. No video at all - I guess the BIOS gets confused about the power status in the system. It seems I have to unplug the cabel, replug the laptops own power cord and then it is willing to start up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It works without problems. Only at shutdown and startup causes it trouble. If I manage to turn on the laptop, everything works fine, file copy, running programs from it, all. I already filled it with 250GB of stuff and backup. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, how it seems to work: Before shutdown, I unplug the device without warning - no eject by OS - then perform shutdown. Power on - works - I log in and then I attach the enclosure - HDD works. The strange thing is that it is not enough to unpower the enclosure and leave it plugged in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I shutdown 'properly' it powers back. If I eject the drive then unplug it and shutdown, 50% it won't start the next poweron - I have to plug the drive back, powercycle, unplug, powercycle x2 then it starts up. If I just simply unplug, everything shuts down and starts as expected. I checked my windows USB power report, it says two mass storage devices cosume 2mA + 200mA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/23351/windows-7-rtm-shutdown-anomaly" />

Previously those were handled by `csrss.exe` which is the “Client Server Runtime Process”, a process running with system-level privileges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft made some very substantial improvements and changes in regard to security. One of those changes was that applications running in different “levels” or as different users weren't allowed to exchange data freely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since console windows were handled by `csrss.exe` this had the side-effect that you could no longer drag files onto a console window and have the full path and file name inserted. Drag &amp; drop is such a case of data exchange which was ruled out. People cried out even though most Windows users probably didn't even know of that feature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I doubt, though, that the missing drag &amp; drop functionality was the reason behind pulling console windows out of `csrss`. The more pragmatic reason would be that there is absolutely no reason to have such functionality sitting that close to the core of the OS. Granted, it's not as much functionality as there could be if Windows would implement terminal emulators as usual on UNIX-like OSes (and much less than there would be if UNIX-likes fully adhered to ECMA-48). But nevertheless, anything going wrong with a single console window could tear a core part of the operating system down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Making changes to how console windows work gets much harder due to that since you have to consider pretty dire consequences if anything goes wrong. Another change you'll see, except drag &amp; drop working again, is that characters are no longer confined to their cell. Especially with ClearType enabled some glyphs would go beyond their cell boundaries and leave trails and other artifacts behind. This is almost (but not quite) fixed by now." />

Use `/dev/disk1s0` to read the 2048-byte blocks, using the error correction codes to detect and correct any errors within each block.

I can't reliably shut down my laptop, and sometimes, I can't start it when the external drive is plugged in. Rarely, my laptop doesn't start at all even after I unplugged the device. I have to power cycle several times before it is willing to start. When the computer is running, everything seems to be fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I deducted the problem to the USB connection, as it seems to power-back my computer through the USB's 5V wire, which might lack protective diodes, causing the machine's BIOS to be confused. My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is this back-powering property general - e.g. should I buy a new rack to solve the issue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does this 5V damage my laptop in any way?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Follow up to my [previous question][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update from my comments:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry about the terminology, I have 500GB SATA HDD in a rack, which has its own power supply and a USB cable to plug it into a computer - the OS sees it as jet another HDD. My laptop worked fine before I purchased this external device. It is a Spire GigaPod VIII&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is directly attached to my laptop. It is independent which of my 4 hubs I plug it in. No video at all - I guess the BIOS gets confused about the power status in the system. It seems I have to unplug the cabel, replug the laptops own power cord and then it is willing to start up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It works without problems. Only at shutdown and startup causes it trouble. If I manage to turn on the laptop, everything works fine, file copy, running programs from it, all. I already filled it with 250GB of stuff and backup. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, how it seems to work: Before shutdown, I unplug the device without warning - no eject by OS - then perform shutdown. Power on - works - I log in and then I attach the enclosure - HDD works. The strange thing is that it is not enough to unpower the enclosure and leave it plugged in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I shutdown 'properly' it powers back. If I eject the drive then unplug it and shutdown, 50% it won't start the next poweron - I have to plug the drive back, powercycle, unplug, powercycle x2 then it starts up. If I just simply unplug, everything shuts down and starts as expected. I checked my windows USB power report, it says two mass storage devices cosume 2mA + 200mA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 2**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I forgot I have a 2nd 15GB IDE HDD (from my old times) in a different enclosure. No shutdown/startup problems with that (I'm relieved)! It seems I have to try a different SATA enclosure for my 500GB HDD.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/23351/windows-7-rtm-shutdown-anomaly" />

But this certainly is *far* from optimal; I hope there's some easier way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Under your home folder, locate the `Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images` subfolder. Here are all the images you've assigned to people in your contacts. The filenames will be something like `36C3C5E1-8BCE-4E0D-9FB4-12562C745A5A` though, so to see what each image is, you'll need to change the filename to end with .jpg (make a copy first not to screw anything up).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have lots of contacts with photos, you wouldn't want to go through them manually like this, of course. But some scriptwork on the command line would make it easier; something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Make a copy of the whole `AddressBook/images` folder somewhere (e.g. using Finder)&#xD;&#xA; 2. Fire up Terminal and `cd` to that (*copied*, not original) folder &#xD;&#xA; 3. Run: `for i in *; do mv $i $i.jpg; done` &#xD;&#xA; 4. Now, look at the folder in Finder again (in &quot;Show as icons&quot; mode), and using your built-in facial recognition abilities ;-) you should find the right image in a matter of seconds (unless you have hundreds and hundreds of photos in there) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Knowing that you've been using PC2-4200, we know that your motherboard supports DDR2 RAM.  There are some faster types of DDR2 RAM that will fit in your motherboard:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - PC2-5400 (DDR2-667)&#xD;&#xA; - PC2-6400 (DDR2-800)&#xD;&#xA; - PC2-8600 (DDR2-1066)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just be sure to check what your motherboard will support.  Also, since it is dual-channel memory, you'll get the best performance by installing either 2 or 4 sticks of RAM - in other words, don't buy 1 4GB stick of RAM, buy 2 2GB sticks for best performance.&#xD;&#xA;For a good primer on DDR2 memory, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM" />

Then if you unplug it and replug it into a different USB port, Windows gets a bout of amnesia and thinks that it's a completely different device instead of using the settings that applied when you plugged it in last time. Why is that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The USB device people explained that this happens when the device lacks a USB serial number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Serial numbers are optional on USB devices. If the device has one, then Windows recognizes the device no matter which USB port you plug it into. But if it doesn't have a serial number, then Windows treats each appearance on a different USB port as if it were a new device.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (I remember that one major manufacturer of USB devices didn't quite understand how serial numbers worked. They gave all of their devices serial numbers, that's great, but they all got the same serial number. Exciting things happened if you plugged two of their devices into a computer at the same time.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But why does Windows treat it as a different device if it lacks a serial number and shows up on a different port? Why can't it just say, &quot;Oh, there you are, over there on another port.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Because that creates random behavior once you plug in two such devices. Depending on the order in which the devices get enumerated by Plug and Play, the two sets of settings would get assigned seemingly randomly at each boot. Today the settings match up one way, but tomorrow when the devices are enumerated in the other order, the settings are swapped. (You get similarly baffling behavior if you plug in the devices in different order.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In other words: Things suck because (1) things were already in bad shape—this would not have been a problem if the device had a proper serial number—and (2) once you're in this bad state, the alternative sucks more. The USB stack is just trying to make the best of a bad situation without making it any worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/11/10/255047.aspx" />

Some consumer level boards may support 32GB, but *most* probably support 16GB. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When it comes to motherboards, look for features that you *want* in the *chipset* first. So if you want 32-64GB memory support, you'll filter out a lot of chipsets that can't support it. If you want PCI-X support (common in workstations/servers, not desktops), that's another filter. Then you can see different manufacturers (Tyan, Supermicro, Asus, Gigabyte, etc.) offer their personal touches such as on-board video, firewire, USB, PCI bus support, etc. Also note: the more stuff that's crammed onto a board, the bigger the board. Be prepared to look at Full-ATX tower solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For upgradeability in terms of RAM, all server boards *typically* go for 4GB/8GB per DIMM ratio. Keep this in mind for *availability and cost*. I use 4GB DDR2 667 registered DIMMs with ECC. Two years ago, they were selling for just over $150 per DIMM. Now they're down to $80. For a few months (recently) prices were going *up* but now things appear to be heading downward. Also, server/workstation DIMMs *can* be very scarce in comparison to desktop RAM. Keep this in mind.

The great thing about CPUs is that their prices always go down and features always go up. In the end, the reality for upgradability is simply the socket. Intel seems to change their sockets on a whim (to me). Additionally, Intel's new [tick-tock strategy][1] of releasing CPUs doesn't really mention socket support either. AMD is no different on this front either. But AMD's [older roadmap][2] show hints at a newer socket, but could possibly remain the same.

They have more single socket boards than Opterons and RAM support around 24-48GB (*I think*). This setup is less costly in the long term and there's such a wide array of manufacturers and let's face it shopping at [Newegg][3] is *so* much fun. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. **Two CPUs** - If you're seriously considering another CPU and more RAM, than I'd say go Opteron (Istanbul 6-core) here. Most Opteron boards support 64GB-128MB RAM. The upgrade path is fairly stable considering Istanbul is only a few months old. AMD has been pretty good about support for the Opteron 2xxx/8xxx series CPUs. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.intel.com/technology/tick-tock/index.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15474&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&amp;N=2010200280%201070645357&amp;name=Core%20i7" />

Some consumer level boards may support 32GB, but *most* probably support 16GB. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When it comes to motherboards, look for features that you *want* in the *chipset* first. So if you want 32-64GB memory support, you'll filter out a lot of chipsets that can't support it. If you want PCI-X support (common in workstations/servers, not desktops), that's another filter. Then you can see different manufacturers (Tyan, Supermicro, Asus, Gigabyte, etc.) offer their personal touches such as on-board video, firewire, USB, PCI bus support, etc. Also note: the more stuff that's crammed onto a board, the bigger the board. Be prepared to look at Full-ATX tower solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For upgradeability in terms of RAM, all server boards *typically* go for 4GB/8GB per DIMM ratio. Keep this in mind for *availability and cost*. I use 4GB DDR2 667 registered DIMMs with ECC. Two years ago, they were selling for just over $150 per DIMM. Now they're down to $80. For a few months (recently) prices were going *up* but now things appear to be heading downward. Also, server/workstation DIMMs *can* be very scarce in comparison to desktop RAM. Keep this in mind.

This isn't very well documented as far as I can tell; as best as I can recall, you'll need to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hit F8 twice right after the computer boots. You'll see more options than you'll typically find in the normal F8 boot menu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the options is VGA mode; select that option.

First let me start by providing my definition: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Virtual Personae**: `the sum of the information about a person available online, provided by the the person or by others about the person, that can be uniquely assigned to the person.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this a **Public Virtual Personae** would be the public information and a **Private Virtual Personae** would be information that is online but reasonably secured such that *Googleing* the person would not reveal this information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For myself I have tried to separate my public and private Virtual Personae for some time.  For example, my personal blog is the central repository about my private personae and the public pages do not reveal information I would not want a random stranger to know.  Similarly on Flickr I have both public and private photos (Flickr provides 4 levels of privacy: Private &gt; Family &gt; Contacts &gt; Public in terms or restriction on who can view, but may sites only offer 2 or have differing levels, there is no standard, at least not in practice.)  My professional life is more restricted to LinkedIn and other such sites that have a very professional bent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, my Facebook page lists where I work (my mistake) and while I have two iName aliases, one for personal things (such as this site) and one for professional (today just used for contacting me) I don't seem to be very diligent at thinking about the private/public issue when I sign up for new services.  Most of the time I find myself needing to go back and delete or change info.  And we all know that the Internet never forgets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My awareness of this issue is heightened by my previous work on identity and identity management.  The technical difficulty of how to manage in a deterministic way entrenched behavior among people are complex.  Liberty alliance, OpenID and other identity systems have mostly ignored this and left it to the Presence vendors to solve.  The resulting solutions are too difficult (IMO) for most end-users to care, lack of universal adoption is also a problem.  Most end-users don't bother to setup and sort of private/public or personal/professional walls, they just broadcast things into the void and hope it does not come back to bite them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the explosion of blogging/social networking/status broadcasting/etc. the phenomenon of the *[drunkfail][1]* I see this as becoming more and more of an issue.  Maybe in 20 years no one will care but in the meantime failure to control ones Virtual Personae can have very real consequences.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So; What are the best practices that people recommend for dealing with Virtual Personae?  Or am I making a mountain out of a mole-hill?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28424059/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/" />

The best type of [headphone for noise isolation][2] are called &quot;in-ear monitors&quot;, sometimes called &quot;ear canal headphones.&quot; These are basically like earplugs with speakers built in. These go inside your ear canal and seal out sound from outside.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that this is different than iPod-style headphones which are called earbuds and actually sit outside your ear canal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you value high fidelity and have a big budget, look at headphones from Shure and Ultimate Ears (my personal favorite). If you have less of a budget but still want good sound, check out the Etymotics ER-6i. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you just want to block out the background sounds, you might just want to think about getting some earplugs. You can get &quot;high-fidelity&quot; or &quot;musician's&quot; earplugs that reduce all frequencies equally so it's like &quot;turning down the volume&quot;, like [these from Etymotics][3]. Of course, the regular foamy earplugs will work just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pretty much any headphone that can be used with an iPod can also be used with a computer. IEMs are generally very efficient and should work fine on a computer. Sealed headphones also work for isolating background noise, but are not as portable and not as effective at reducing sound. Note that some more expensive sealed headphones are &quot;high impedance&quot; and may require a separate amplifier and will not sound good straight out of your computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er4-hwmni.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-application/block-it-out/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx" />

Throw-away identities enable me to voice &quot;minority&quot; opinions on touchy subjects, where doing so in public would result in long-term hostility (think atheism).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2, Working accross many different communities sometimes presents mutual incompatibility between several (sub)cultures; and whereas I'm okay with living in a constant state of cognitive dissonancy, most people aren't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With that in mind, here's my current configuration:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1, Do not, under any circumstances, disclose real data. (Paypal enables (semi-)anonymous payment via credit cards; for everything else, you can make things up)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2, A bit of a social hack: whenever you meet new people IRW, the first 2 minutes have the highest impact on the relationship (psychologically, it nails your face to your function in society to &quot;relative importance&quot;). In certain social circles, it is socially acceptable to simply introduce yourself with a nick name; if you manage to have other people call you on that, it will nail in a network effect. Use that nick to propagate information for that certain group.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3, For groups, where nicknames aren't &quot;in&quot; (&gt;=30, I hope they die soon), make a plausable  name up (along with a marketable background).

CTRL+F4 to close the blank screen, or a CTRL+Tab to switch tabs. I take it there's a reason you have iGoogle as your home page, which is why I mentioned this alternative.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other than that, there's no Firefox option to prevent a page from taking focus; while there's a userscript called Focus Killer that says it'll prevent such behavior, my own tests indicate it only does this after the fact; i.e. iGoogle took focus away from the address bar, then a bit later Focus Killer took focus away from iGoogle. In the end, there was no focus on the address bar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Only other option would be to disable scripts from running, but I don't think you'd want that at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An annoying problem, I feel your pain (they'd do this during Gmail sign on while I was typing my password, so that it'd mess up both fields and show a large portion of my password due to me not stopping in time).

Robocopy is way more versatile than cp, and I can't figure out how to do what I want with Linux tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A specific use case is that I have two directories with mostly similar files, but one has newer source files and one has content files that the other directory doesn't have, and possibly newer source files (for a website). I want to copy the files from the latter directory into the former, adding new content files and such, but not overwriting newer files in the destination directory. I tried to figure out how to do this in Linux for maybe half an hour, decided that I'd probably have to learn bash scripting or something to do what I wanted, and then I realized that I could just use robocopy. I also had some other requirements. I was basically converting a Python (Django) website from an SVN repository to a git repository, and I wanted to make sure I didn't have uncommitted changes in SVN. However, I wanted to conditionally exclude the .svn directories and the .pyc compiled Python files.

You do not need to set up an 'rsync server' to copy files from one machine to another. Rsync supports copying files over SFTP (SSH File Transfer) which most linux boxes have enabled already (if not manually disabled).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See Lifehacker's [Mirror files across systems with rsync](http://lifehacker.com/196122/geek-to-live--mirror-files-across-systems-with-rsync) for more details:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Whether you want to backup your data, distribute files securely or mirror your working documents over the internet from the office to home, between computers on your local network, or from your computer to your web server, rsync can get the job done. Today we'll use rsync to mirror folders between a Mac and PC over a secure connection at the command line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Rsync is free (as in speech) and cross platform, meaning it syncs files between operating systems (Windows/Cygwin, Mac OS, Linux); it works over ssh so it's encrypted and secure; unlike FTP it's **incremental**, so only the ***parts*** of ***changed*** files are transferred, **not whole files**, which makes it go like Speedy Gonzalez; and the fact that it's command line makes it scriptable and easily automated." />

There are two important aspects to the corruption. The pattern is in vertical strips, alternating between a strip of corrupted pixels and a strip of normal pixels, the strips are equal width and more than one pixel wide. Also, the pattern, when view top to bottom, repeats with a constant period.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am wondering, then, if this is a RAM fault? The corruption doesn't appear to be there in alphanumeric modes (i.e. old style BIOS screens).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I took out each RAM card and the problem still persists. I guess it's not the RAM. The corruption also appears in text mode - it's just a bit trickier to see.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I disabled the nVidia device and the system boots up without BSODing. So it's going to be the vidia chip that's blown I guess.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Time to get a new laptop then. :-(" />

O are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **2. Move the router off the floor and keep it as far as possible from walls and metal objects.** As we mentioned earlier, metal, walls and floors wreak havoc with your router's wireless signal. The more of these obstacles your router needs to punch through to reach your notebook, the worse the interference, and the slower your connection will be.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **3. Place your router (or access point) in a central location in the office.** If your wireless router is at one end of the office (or your home), the signal will have farther to go to reach the other end. Using a central spot splits the difference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **4. Upgrade your router's antenna.** Most routers come with an omni-directional antenna --meaning that it broadcasts and receives in all directions with equal efficiency. If you don't know where your receiving notebooks will be, or if they are indeed scattered in a random 360-degree pattern, omni-directional is fine. However, if (as is most often the case) your router is near an outside wall, with most of the network computers in a 180-degree pattern in one direction only (that is, toward the opposite outside wall), you are wasting half of the router's signal. If you upgrade to a hi-gain directional antenna that focuses the wireless signals in only one direction, you can maximize the efficiency of the system by aiming the signal in the direction you need it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **6. Check your wireless channel, and change it if necessary.** Wireless routers use one of 11 possible channels to broadcast. If another wireless network nearby happens to be broadcasting on the same channel your router is using, both networks will experience severe loss of range and power. You can use the wireless software on your notebook to find out how many wireless networks are active in the area, and which channels each is using. If you discover that another network is using the same channel as your router, log into the router via your browser and use its built-in configuration screen to select an unused channel. Chances are your signal strength will improve significantly. (You don't need to adjust your notebook; it's designed to automatically detect the network's new channel.)" />

If it is _'forced'_, then some of the outgoing connections may be dropped, and upload speed will be somewhat lower. If _'allow legacy incoming connections'_ is enabled, then again some of the connections won't be encrypted 'cause the other side does not support it. If it is disabled, then some of the incoming connections will be dropped, and download speed will be lower.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You have to decide for yourself what is more important. It's a trade off between speed and security.

This means there is lots of software for it, and nearly every device you can find has Windows drivers. Which in turn, makes Windows more popular.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It isn't necessarily the best operating system - actually, I like Ubuntu better - but there are some advantages to using what most other people use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, popularity is a curse, too. Not many people bother writing viruses for Mac or Linux, but Windows is a big fat target. It's nice to load Ubuntu and not have to run an antivirus program. Those things are almost as bad as viruses themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The ideal situation, I think, would be for Windows, Mac, and Linux to have about equal market share.

Those 5.25 disks are generally similar in quality of the newer 3.5 disks. And 3.5 disks are also considered antique since most new computers don't have a floppy drive anymore. Anyway, I have an USB-based 3.5 floppy drive which works just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at my own floppy disk collection from two decades ago, I noticed that most of them have had some damage due to years of not-using-them. Mostly bad sectors or just random blanks. These disks use a magnetized surface and this is slowly leaking away. (Faster if stored in sunlight or near large magnets.) I was able to still get data from some of those disks, though. Maybe about 20% of my disks are still completely readable. I did store them in a dark place, well-protected in a floppy case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For disks with damaged data you might want to use a disk drive that's more sensitive than regular floppy disks. This would be special forensic hardware though, and thus a bit expensive if you're even able to find one. This disk could then be used to revive the data on those disks so you can transfer them to some other medium. But considering the value of your data, I don't expect this to be worth the trouble.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There will be another problem, though. Are those floppies used for an MS-DOS computer or for some other operating system? They might not be using the FAT file system but some other file system which Windows won't be able to read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Formatting those floppies and using them as extra data storage isn't practical either, since they're likely to contain 320 or 360 kilobytes of data, depending on the number of sectors on those disks. Back then, this wasn't even enough to store the MS-DOS setup! It's no surprise that the 3.5 disk quickly replaced it, since the plastic cover made them tougher and the disks could have 720 KB or even 1440 KB, depending on disk quality. (Although you could transform a 720 KB floppy to an 1440 KB floppy by drilling a hole in the right place.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They should not be dead, though. They might be blank, but not dead. If you format them all, I guess that 95% will be reusable. But you're not interested in getting extra disk space but the content of those disks. Well, it is possible to get part of them back, depending on how much you're willing to do and pay for the data recovery. You just have to consider if it's really worth the trouble. That's just between you and the data on those disks." />

This shows that most Windows users will be able to find good Windows solutions for their needs, but some Linux/OS X users run into trouble which they need to solve by running a Windows application within their environment. Still doesn't show that Windows is better. It's just that most software is focused on Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But what if you're a gamer? My suggestion?

There have been scores of people with the same issue, if only I had known before hand. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Skip down the **HOWTO** for the good stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In perhaps a moment of great stupidity and laziness, I reflashed the bios on my ASUS P5B Deluxe using the ASUS windows based flash utility. It wiped it clean, loaded the new one, and then it couldn't verify. At this point your only two options are quit or retry. So I retry, now it won't even try to write the bios. Having no other choice I rebooted the machine and hoped for the best. I got the worst. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The machine wouldn't do anything. The motherboard is supposed to have a built in bios recovery mode, but it seems that was wiped out as well by the Windows flash utility. It was time to send it back to ASUS so they could reflash it. The bios isn't removable, so surely there's some kind of device they plug into to reflash it for you I thought. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It turns out I was right. Next to the BIOS chip, to the left of the south bridge, is an undocumented 7 pin connector labeled SPI_J1. After a lot research I stumbled upon a few pages (linked at the bottom) that documented the type of cable necessary and the software to use this port to reflash the bios.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The cable consists of a parallel connector wired to something you can plug into the pins that also has a 2.7V-3.6V input to power the chip while reflashing it. I made a really bad attempt at using a chopped up parallel cable and the ends from a USB header port thing. This didn't work out well so I found at the local electronics store a parallel connector with a ribbon cable on it. I took it apart and re-soldered the ribbon to the correct pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get the ~3V, I took a pass through power connector from an old case fan and added three diodes to the 5V wire, giving me a little over 3V. I then wired this to the ribbon cable and hooked the power connector into another running machine. I then used my laptop to flash to bios.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**HOWTO**:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Supplies:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- A DOS boot cd, usb drive, or floppy&#xD;&#xA;- BIOS ROM for the motherboard&#xD;&#xA;- [SPIPGM][2] (Software that does the flashing)&#xD;&#xA;- [CWSDPMI][3] (DPMI host process needed by SPIPGM)&#xD;&#xA;- Multimeter&#xD;&#xA;- Soldering Iron&#xD;&#xA;- Male DB25 connector&#xD;&#xA;- Header connector of some sort, you'll need 6 pins total.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make the cable I used a DB25M TO IDC10 SERIAL connector. This really seems like the easiest thing to use. They look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The header is found on the motherboard directly to the left of the south bridge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is how the header pins are numbered:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a table showing which header pins should be connected to what parallel pins. Pin 1 on the header is for +3V.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Header Pin Parallel Pin &#xD;&#xA;    ========== ============&#xD;&#xA;    2          18 &#xD;&#xA;    3          7 &#xD;&#xA;    4          8 &#xD;&#xA;    5          10 &#xD;&#xA;    6          9 &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's what my cable looks like (Note: it looks like the power lead is connected to the DB25 but in fact it is solder to the ribbon, it goes to pin 1 on the header)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use a cable similar to mine, open it up and desolder the ribbon from the connector. Take a paper clip and stick it into the holes in the header connector to determine which lead needs to go to what pin on the DB25 using your multimeter. Solder each lead appropriately. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You then need to get a 5V line from another computer (The Red wire on a molex connector). Solder three diodes in series and connect them to the 5V line. Use your multimeter to ensure the voltage drop gives you between 2.7V and 3.6V. Solder this to the appropriate ribbon lead. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that you're ready to flash, boot your flashing computer with your DOS boot media. First, you need to run cwsdpmi.exe, then run spipgm. (Note: you have to run cwsdpmi.exe before SPIPGM each time.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    spipgm /p p5b-bios.rom &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It will ask for the total size of the flashrom, enter 1024&#xD;&#xA;If SPIPGM reports your chip id as fffffffh then something isn't right. Check all your connections. SPIPGM has several functions, such as erasing the BIOS first. Run SPIPGM without any options to see a list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Giving credit where credit is due, without these sites I never would have figured this out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [http://richard-burke.dyndns.org/wordpress/tag/p5b/][9]&#xD;&#xA;- [http://www.fccps.cz/download/adv/frr/spi/msi_spi.html][10]&#xD;&#xA;- [http://rayer.ic.cz/elektro/spipgm.htm][11] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://mondotech.blogspot.com/2009/05/asus-p5b-deluxe-bios-recovery-spi-flash.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://rayer.ic.cz/programm/spipgm.zip&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://rayer.ic.cz/programm/cwsdpmi6.zip&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://i30.tinypic.com/1191p2e.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://i30.tinypic.com/1zd3gw4.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://i28.tinypic.com/2e304ef.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://i31.tinypic.com/2lbde05.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://i25.tinypic.com/2k0qkw.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://richard-burke.dyndns.org/wordpress/tag/p5b/&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.fccps.cz/download/adv/frr/spi/msi_spi.html&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://rayer.ic.cz/elektro/spipgm.htm" />

These are common on most of the common platforms, or on their derivatives (ie Red Hat and CentOS).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's some examples.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, Ubuntu has /etc/lsb-release:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    cat /etc/lsb-release&#xD;&#xA;    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu&#xD;&#xA;    DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04&#xD;&#xA;    DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty&#xD;&#xA;    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=&quot;Ubuntu 9.04&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But Debian has /etc/debian_version:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    cat /etc/debian_version&#xD;&#xA;    5.0.2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fedora, Red Hat and CentOS have:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Fedora: cat /etc/fedora-release&#xD;&#xA;    Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)&#xD;&#xA;    Red Hat/CentOS: cat /etc/redhat-release&#xD;&#xA;    CentOS release 5.3 (Final)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Gentoo:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    cat /etc/gentoo-release&#xD;&#xA;    Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't have a SUSE system available at the moment, but I believe it is /etc/SuSE-release.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Slackware has /etc/slackware-release.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mandriva has /etc/mandriva-release.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most of the popular distributions then,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    cat /etc/*{release,version}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Will most often work. Stripped down and barebones &quot;server&quot; installations might not have the 'release' package for the distribution installed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, two 3rd party programs you can use to automatically get this information are Ohai and Facter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that many distributions have this kind of information in /etc/issue or /etc/motd, but some security policies and [best practices][1] indicate that these files should contain access notification banners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cisecurity.org/" />

Thus, the rest of the article will explain my particular configuration, and is more aimed towards &quot;power (social) users&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First of all, my initial motivations for better virtual presence management came from several sources: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1, I'm always working with the assumption, that I might be wrong in whatever position I'm taking. Throw-away identities enable me to voice &quot;minority&quot; opinions on touchy subjects, where doing so in public would result in long-term hostility (think atheism).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2, Working accross many different communities sometimes presents mutual incompatibility between several (sub)cultures; and whereas I'm okay with living in a constant state of cognitive dissonancy, most people aren't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this is inherently a social problem, let's take a view on the social hackery going on behind the scenes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1, Thou shall not, under any circumstances, disclose real data. (Paypal enables (semi-)anonymous payment via credit cards; for everything else, you can make things up)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2, A bit of a social hack: whenever you meet new people IRW, the first 2 minutes have the highest impact on the relationship (psychologically, it nails your face to your function in society to &quot;relative importance&quot;). In certain social circles, it is socially acceptable to simply introduce yourself with a nick name; if you manage to have other people call you on that, it will nail in a network effect. Use that nick to propagate information for that certain group.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3, For groups, where nicknames aren't &quot;in&quot; (&gt;=30), you can make a plausable  name up (along with a marketable background). Registrate an e-mail account, facebook,...etc with that name, have it propagate, and soon it will be just as &quot;valid&quot; as your &quot;real&quot; one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4, Mind the collisions. You can measure &quot;group distance&quot; by creative usage of online social networks; should they have a large probability to collide (at least 2 members overlapping both social circles), use the same identity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5, Business in general is tricky. Currently, laws hasn't really cought up to the fact of anonymous money, virtual goods, and post-nationalist commerce; this is something I'm currently working on. In the meantime, you can either use a &quot;trade name&quot; (and build reputation/brand recognition behind that), or, as a last result, your &quot;real&quot; name.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6, Reputation, in general, should be built upon a virtual presence (think web sites, instead of aliases) -it's also much easier that way (codinghorror, joelonsoftware, etc). On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog (or even care), thus there's little to no reason to associate your reputation-empire with drunken photos of last friday's party.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, on to how to manage this effectively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1, each aliases has it's own e-mail address (sometimes on it's own domain). All aliases are forwarded to a master mailbox, auto-organized (via labels) by the alies in question (and the group / social circle it represents). GMail has recently introduced sending email from another address [without the &quot;on behalf of&quot; tag][1], so you don't even have to log-in to other mail accounts most of the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2, Chrome's &quot;incognito&quot; feature allows you to login to social sites/etc with multiple accounts. Be vary of logging facilities, though; should your circle collide with system operators, you might want to use a proxy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3, have a dedicated alies for &quot;first adaptor&quot; behaviour -this will be your spambox. Only use credible aliases, when the application has already &quot;crossed the chasm&quot;, and be vary of which market spaces are also users of the website (and which identity you'd wish to use to interact with them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(I'll update this, if you have any *specific* questions, in the meantime)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-The Dragon&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-address-without.html" />

Maybe have one government CA, or each ISP has a CA, that hands out a certificate and key's to everyone who wants to use the internet, and your computer is tied to those keys and then to you. If you wanted to surf the internet form another computer you would have to recover your keys from said CA (so you would need one super strong password you would have to remember). Although we should all have our own computer some time soon, so this may not be that big a problem. Each site would then verify and tie your online identity to the ceritifacate or private key on your computer.

It works if you open a link, with Opera already opened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This opening link from a closed Opera worked with the 9.x versions, so I guess it will work again, it's only a temporary bug during beta. In general, this problem happens too if you try to click a link in some other software, when it will require Opera to open, it won't work on first try.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, what you can do is to write in Launchy your Weby request ; it will open Opera, without your wanted link ; call launchy again and press enter directly, to send again the same request ; this time it will work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that this is a temporary issue from Opera beta, and will most likely be fixed in the final version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the problem is in Opera 9.64 too, then maybe I'm wrong, and I remember badly.

I can't reliably shut down my laptop, and sometimes, I can't start it when the external drive is plugged in. Rarely, my laptop doesn't start at all even after I unplugged the device. I have to power cycle several times before it is willing to start. When the computer is running, everything seems to be fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I deducted the problem to the USB connection, as it seems to power-back my computer through the USB's 5V wire, which might lack protective diodes, causing the machine's BIOS to be confused. My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is this back-powering property general - e.g. should I buy a new rack to solve the issue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does this 5V damage my laptop in any way?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Follow up to my [previous question][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update from my comments:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry about the terminology, I have 500GB SATA HDD in a rack, which has its own power supply and a USB cable to plug it into a computer - the OS sees it as jet another HDD. My laptop worked fine before I purchased this external device. It is a Spire GigaPod VIII&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is directly attached to my laptop. It is independent which of my 4 hubs I plug it in. No video at all - I guess the BIOS gets confused about the power status in the system. It seems I have to unplug the cabel, replug the laptops own power cord and then it is willing to start up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It works without problems. Only at shutdown and startup causes it trouble. If I manage to turn on the laptop, everything works fine, file copy, running programs from it, all. I already filled it with 250GB of stuff and backup. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, how it seems to work: Before shutdown, I unplug the device without warning - no eject by OS - then perform shutdown. Power on - works - I log in and then I attach the enclosure - HDD works. The strange thing is that it is not enough to unpower the enclosure and leave it plugged in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I shutdown 'properly' it powers back. If I eject the drive then unplug it and shutdown, 50% it won't start the next poweron - I have to plug the drive back, powercycle, unplug, powercycle x2 then it starts up. If I just simply unplug, everything shuts down and starts as expected. I checked my windows USB power report, it says two mass storage devices cosume 2mA + 200mA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 2**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I forgot I have a 2nd 15GB IDE HDD (from my old times) in a different enclosure. No shutdown/startup problems with that (I'm relieved)! It seems I have to try a different SATA enclosure for my 500GB HDD.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 3**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Changed the enclosure to a different vendor, and it seems the error has disappeared.

However, when I view a DVD in Media Center and the SPDIF passthrough kicks in, I can only hear an awful noise instead of the movie soundtrack. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, the receiver does not show the Dolby Digital or DTS symbol, but stays at Dolby Prologic, so it seems it doesn't identify the sound encoding properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I could switch off SPDIF passthrough and use the sound card's decoder instead, but that's not an option for me since it would create more problems with regular MP3 playback via additional Stereo Receiver which is also connected to the same sound card. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've tried both the default Audigy drivers that come with Windows 7 and the latest drivers from the Soundblaster website, but the problem remains unchanged. Also, I have ensured that the receiver's Dolby Digital decoder is not broken by successfully connecting it to my PS3 to view a Dolby Digital DVD.

Where did the new Python get installed?&#xD;&#xA; 2. What does your $PATH look like?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A default set-up on Unix-like systems is that user-installed software gets installed in /usr/local/bin, and most *nix distros put that directory *before* system-wide directories in the default $PATH variable (which is how your shell knows where to look for programs). That way, if you install something new, the new item gets found first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, a default OS X $PATH looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is that by putting */usr/local/bin* so late, the system-wide Python (which is at */usr/bin* and so earlier in your $PATH) keeps getting hit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My answer is to make my $PATH look like this on a Mac:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To do that, create a file *.profile* in your home directory and add something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #### Let's take care of our $PATH&#xD;&#xA;    # A backup of the original $PATH&#xD;&#xA;    # /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    # My preferred order - /usr/local goes first, damn it!&#xD;&#xA;    PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit**: I'm following up here, rather than in comments because it's getting too long for a comment. The line in your *.profile* with `/sw/bin/init.sh` comes from the package manager [Fink][1], which I'm assuming you use (or used at some point). The other line seems to suggest that at some point you installed MacPython and it rewrote your `$PATH` for you. I don't know MacPython, but if it's [this site][2], then it hasn't been updated since 2004. It also doesn't seem to talk about any version of OS X beyond 10.3, which is not very current.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So now I'm more confused: when did you update Python? How did you update it? What version of OS X are you running?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.finkproject.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/" />

Non-technical people must look at filenames created by geeks and wonder where we learned English.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what are the reasons that spaces in filenames are avoided or discouraged?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most obvious reason I could think of, and why I typically avoid it, are the extra quotes required on the command line when dealing with such files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any other significant reasons, other than the practice being a vestigial preference?&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE:**  Thanks for all your answers!

So, here's a summary:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Six Reasons Why Geeks Prefer Filenames Without Spaces In Them&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's irritating to put quotes around them when referenced on the command line (or elsewhere.)&#xD;&#xA;2. Some older operating systems didn't used to support them and us *old dogs* are used to that.&#xD;&#xA;3. Some tools *still* don't support spaces in filenames at all or very well.  (But they should.)&#xD;&#xA;4. It's irritating to escape spaces when used where spaces *must* be escaped, such as URLs.&#xD;&#xA;5. Certain unenlightened services (e.g. file hosting, webmail) remove or replace spaces anyway!&#xD;&#xA;6. Names without spaces can be shorter, which is sometimes desirable as paths are limited.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Although you can enter your proxy details in Internet Explorer as [firedfly](http://superuser.com/questions/29701/global-proxy-settings-for-windows/29731#29731) suggests, this will only work for certain applications (mostly Windows apps, but Google Chrome uses these settings.). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Privoxy** does exactly what you are after. It will establish a connection to the proxy and route **all** of the traffic out it (excluding local traffic, of course). It works on both Windows and OS X, and even has a portable version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy or a chain of proxy servers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With Proxifier you can work with any Internet client (browsers, FTP, IRC, BitTorrent, messengers, telnet, SSH, video/audio, games...) through a network that is separated from Internet by a firewall (only one open port is required for a proxy tunnel to bypass firewall).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also used this program to [answer](http://superuser.com/questions/18417/force-steam-and-other-programs-that-do-not-specify-proxy-settings-to-use-a-prox/23064#23064) my [**Force Steam (and other programs that do not specify proxy settings) to use a proxy**](http://superuser.com/questions/18417/) question." />

I'm pretty sure X is running because ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, yeah. I'll go with pretty much any solution that doesn't take hours to set up and gives me multiseat.

The remote VPN server may or may not actually allow such traffic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that OS X has a different default than Windows. Windows by default sends all traffic over VPN, but a Mac does not. (On a Mac, the Advanced button shows an option &quot;Send all traffic over VPN connection&quot;. Windows has a similar option; in Windows XP it was called &quot;**Use default gateway on remote network**&quot;, which would show by opening the properties of your VPN network, selecting tabsheet &quot;Networking&quot;, selecting &quot;Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)&quot; and clicking &quot;Properties&quot;, and finally clicking &quot;Advanced&quot;...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When all traffic is sent through the VPN, then even &quot;normal&quot; web browsing is done through the remote VPN server. This might be useful when traveling in some countries that filter certain web sites. As the VPN connection is encrypted, using it for all traffic might also be more secure when not knowing who can listen in to the network (hotel, internet café, Starbucks WiFi, ...) that is used to connect to the internet. And **sending all traffic over the VPN might be a bit more secure** as any &quot;hacker&quot; (or spyware) who has gained access to the workstation will be disconnected as soon as the VPN connection is started. It depends on the security of the VPN server whether or not such unwanted traffic could be re-established through the VPN server. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It also depends on the policies of your company whether or not this option should be changed." />

I use this for connecting USB flash drives, for example. However, as with USB peripheral switches, it is your responsibility to make sure that moving from one computer to the other is done in a timely fashion that suits the host, the application and the peripheral, e.g. for a USB flash drive you should unmount the drive before unplugging or switching and you may need to follow a similar process for, for example, a USB-connected printer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether these would work well with your specific USB device and requirement is not certain but you may be able to get specific advice from the peripheral supplier or switch supplier or current users of the combination. I don't know of any of these that would *automatically* allow a peripheral to be shared between multiple hosts: for printing, a print server is a better solution unless you want to manually switch between computers each time the printer is needed elsewhere and the manual switching works reliably.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Sharing your data is maybe not so easy as with Dropbox.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally I use both, Jungledisk/S3 for backup and Dropbox for synchronizing &quot;working&quot; documents between several computers and sharing. I've looked into a lot of solution and found Jungledisk, Dropbox and S3 easiest and best from both technical and security standpoint. All other alternatives I looked at give someone access to your data and are not as distributed/redundant as S3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.jungledisk.com/desktop/pricing.aspx" />

SATA is now out of the box as an external standard, with specifically defined cables, connectors, and signal requirements released as new standards in mid-2004. eSATA provides more performance than existing solutions and is hot pluggable. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll look at the specification to be certain (it might take a until lunch time), but my understanding is that the electrical specifications have changed slightly. Moving forward SATA controllers support eSATA as well. If you have an older chipset, them this is not necessarily the case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.serialata.org/technology/esata.asp" />

There are more but I am sticking to the main 2 (in my opinion). Through put is how much data can be pushed or pulled through the connection (download/upload). Responsiveness is how fast does my request make it the destination and back. Both affect each other a bit. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Through put is a pretty easy test, just go to one of the sites listed here and it will test your upload/download speeds. Just remember that the connection you pay for from you ISP is an UPPER limit (most of the time). For example I pay for a 6mb down/ 1mb up connection. 6mb down/1mb up is the uppper limit of my connection. Some ISPs will have a lower limit. An example would be if an ISP says your connection will be between 3mb down and 6mb down. The other key part is the remote host that you are pulling from or pushing data too. If you connection is bigger, then you are limited by the remote host connection and effectively DoS the remote host.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Responsiveness is a bit hard to test. I am not 100% sure on the correct way to test it. commands like ping and tracert in window are a good start. They will give you a rough idea of how long a round trip to and from a remote host takes. This also takes into account the time the remote host takes to process your request and send it back so take this with a grain of salt. Responsiveness is not a big deal when surfing the web or chatting on line. It comes into play with applications like online games. A slow response time will cause you to &quot;lag&quot; and make the game less fluid to the point of unplayable. Online games rely on fast response over higher through put. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other things to consider in evaluating a connection are Uptime, what ports are blocked, ISP policies regarding us of Bittorrent, IRC, SMTP,  or other services." />

I swapped displays with another PC to verify that the monitor was dead.  My monitor worked on her PC, but her monitor showed nothing on mine.  At the time it seemed like no big deal, it was 7 years old and had survived 2 moves.  It had served us well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I replaced her dead monitor with the monitor from my PC and bought a new (bigger, sexier) monitor for mine. Now, her PC appears to have claimed a second display.  This time it won't even power on.  Maybe the second display was also on it last legs and the move pushed it towards the light, but I don't want to buy another display if it's just going to get fried." />

For reasons beyond my understanding, the card will only let me run two monitors at once (so a work around is I've got a nifty AutoHotKey script that switches from the dual monitors to the TV and back).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I want to do is get a third monitor and turn it vertical for web browsing and keep the other ones horizontal for gaming and movies.

I'd like to be able to run all 4 displays at the same time (TV isn't too big of a concern, but the 3 monitors must absolutely work at the same time).  So my question is how would I go about achieving this?  My video card supports SLI but Nvidia doesn't do a great job explaining how to use it.  Also at my work we have video cards in our computers with one DVI port but splitters going to two different monitors.  The computer recognizes both as separate monitors.  One guy adds a third to the motherboard's onboard video.  Is that another option I can use for at home (even though it's VGA)?  " />

The application is responsible for doing any setup on first launch and responsible for providing an uninstall mechanism if anything *is* installed later on. Many developers are using the [Sparkle][1] framework to find and install updates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the disk image contains a package (`.pkg` or `.mpkg`), that's an installer. Running it could install files anywhere on your system and run pre- and post-install scripts, and there's no built-in uninstall or upgrade mechanism (the system does keep a log of installed packages, though, so if you later run an installer package for a newer version of the software, it may behave differently than if it had been a first install). In this case, too, the developer is responsible for uninstall and responsivle for updates. Responsible developers will install to standard directories (`/Applications`, `/Library` and `~/Library`, `/usr`, etc.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For command line software that you'd typically install from source, I'd recommend a package manager like [MacPorts][2] (my preference) or [Fink][3] over using an installer package. Both of those package managers set up a self-contained directory (`/opt` and `/sw`, respectively) with all the support files and executable code for software they install (and most packages respect it), and add themselves to your `$PATH`. A huge advantage of using a package manager is that it'll keep track of installed software and give you the ability to upgrade or uninstall it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macports.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.finkproject.org/" />

As far as I can see, *if* you never need to read from the pagefile (because you have enough RAM) then performance could only be worse with it enabled due to Windows pre-emptively writing to it.

People continue to upvote answers that say &quot;*you should not disable your pagefile even if you have plenty of RAM*&quot;, but I have yet to see any concrete, verifiable reasons being given for this advice. As far as I can see, *if* you never need to read from the pagefile (because you have enough RAM) then performance could only be worse with it enabled due to Windows pre-emptively writing to it. At best, performance would be the same. I can't see how it could possibly be improved by writing data you never need to read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Assuming that I have enough physical RAM for everything I do, is there any reason I should not disable the pagefile?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's say the version of Windows is Windows XP x64 SP2 or Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2 (same thing). If it's different for Windows Server 2008 x64 I'd be interested to hear an answer for that as well. I'm looking for specific, objective reasons from good sources, not just opinions. Something like &quot;here are the benchmarks done with and without a pagefile and the results were better with a pagefile, even with enough RAM&quot; or &quot;according to this MS KB article problem X occurs if you disable the pagefile&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far the only reasons I've seen mentioned are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - *Even if you **think** you have enough RAM you might run out.* OK, but for the purposes of this question, let's just take it as a given that I have enough. Maybe I only ever read my email and I have 16GB RAM. Or 128GB. Or 1TB. Or whatever - but it's enough for 100% of what I do, 100% of the time. Another way to think of it is: if I have *x* MB physical RAM and *y* MB pagefile and I never run out of RAM in that configuration, would I not be better off, performance-wise, with *x+y* MB physical RAM and no pagefile?&#xD;&#xA; - *Windows is &quot;used to&quot; having a paging file and it might not function as reliably* (from [Understanding the Impact of RAM on Overall System Performance][4] That's rather vague and I find it hard to believe, given that MS has provided the option to disable the pagefile.&#xD;&#xA; - *Windows knows what it's doing better than you.* No - it doesn't know that I won't run more programs or load more data, but I do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://serverfault.com/questions/23621/any-benefit-or-detriment-from-removing-a-pagefile-on-an-8gb-ram-machine&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://superuser.com/questions/29684/what-to-do-with-a-ton-of-extra-memory&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://superuser.com/questions/14795/windows-swap-page-file-enable-or-disable&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Understanding-Impact-RAM-Overall-System-Performance.html" />

I will outline my specific use-case requirement to make the question more clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specific Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a master list of company names that I manage for my sales territory (approximately 1000 customer accounts.) Every week my company publishes a list of all transacted business across every sales territory in the U.S. (mine and hundreds of other territories.) This transaction log is 10,000+ lines so scanning by eye to find transactions associated with my accounts is nearly impossible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My current inadequate solution is to highlight my account list in yellow, copy that highlighted list, then paste that highlighted list at the bottom of the weekly transaction log, then sort A-Z, then scroll through manually to the highlighted items. If the transaction log contains one of my accounts, the transaction log entry will be directly above or below the highlighted entry that I inserted. This method is effective but extremely time consuming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know how to eliminate duplicates in Excel. Is there a way to eliminate everything BUT duplicates? This would make visually scanning the list easier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another problem remains because data inconsistency has limited the use of simple macros, filters, or the &quot;find duplicates&quot; button. Transaction log names are often spelled slightly different than on my master list. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ex: Acme Widget Company, Inc.; Acme Widget Inc; Acme Widget; &#xD;&#xA;Ex: United States Hand-ball Organization; U.S. Handball Org; U S Handball; USHO&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know there are some third-party apps that can use fuzzy logic to match non-exact entries. However, I cannot run plug-ins on my enterprise machine. (Unless there is a very compelling case...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a macro that could 'normalize' the transaction log by eliminating spaces and punctuation? Is there a macro that can match the first X number of characters (more characters = higher accuracy, but greater chance of missing a near-duplicate entry...)? Is there a macro that can output or filter the resulting 'match' list?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If those tasks are too complicated, I have one simpler idea. After merging my highlighted account list into the transaction log, it would be nice to be able to hide all other transaction log lines that are &gt;5 lines above or below my highlighted items. This would allow some flexiblity for non-standard spellings, but greatly simplify the task of visual inspection through the list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any input on how to implement these ideas - or completely different approaches - would be greatly appreciated. I think the general answer to this question will be valuable to others beyond the narrow use-case that I have described.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!" />

In case something goes wrong: BACKUP and have all your hardware drivers INSIDE your hard disk drive (in case you lose CDROM or web access).&#xD;&#xA; 2. download the standalone installer from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ (IE only, obviously)&#xD;&#xA; 3. do an in-place upgrade as described by Matt H in http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/95b8cb0f-9d2f-4f3d-b28b-aeb731c5c90c&#xD;&#xA; 4. step two took more than three hours in my machine. Once finished it may not recognize some of your hardware. IGNORE any &quot;find a driver for this hardware&quot; message. Just go ahead and run the SP2 installer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After about 30/40 minutes I finally got the &quot;Windows Vista Service Pack 2 is now installed&quot; window. No rollbacks, no hassle. If any hardware is still unrecognized just go through your normal driver install.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just so you do not miss Matt H's explanation of in-place upgrade here it goes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You can upgrade in-place, which means you can install Windows Vista and retain your applications, files, and settings as they were in your previous edition of Windows. An In-Place upgrade is actually a repair installation using the upgrade option. If you have installed Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista and your original Windows Vista DVD does not include this Service Pack, then the Upgrade option will be disabled, thus preventing you from doing an in place upgrade. The reason for this is that, by installing Service Pack 1 your system is, in effect, newer than that of your original Vista DVD (the only exception to this is if you have a slipstreamed copy of Windows Vista including Service pack 1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, if your original Windows Vista DVD does not contain Service Pack 1 you will need to Uninstall Service Pack 1 from your PC prior to attempting the upgrade.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Note: After performing In-Place Upgrade, your personal data and installed programs will not be removed but we may need to run Windows Update to install all the available updates for your system to update these system files to the current version. This troubleshooting process is time consuming and may take several hours to complete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you would like to perform the In-place Upgrade, refer to the following steps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; • If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; • If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK. Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; b. Click Install now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. When you reach the &quot;Which type of installation do you want?&quot; screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows Vista.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Please run Windows Update again as you will need to download and install the most current updates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you do not have the Windows Vista Installation DVD, I suggest contacting your PC manufacturer or our Customer Service to order a backup disk." />

I will outline my specific use-case requirement to make the question more clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specific Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a master list of company names that I manage for my sales territory (approximately 1000 customer accounts.) Every week my company publishes a list of all transacted business across every sales territory in the U.S. (mine and hundreds of other territories.) This transaction log is 10,000+ lines so scanning by eye to find transactions associated with my accounts is nearly impossible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My current inadequate solution is to highlight my account list in yellow, copy that highlighted list, then paste that highlighted list at the bottom of the weekly transaction log, then sort A-Z, then scroll through manually to the highlighted items. If the transaction log contains one of my accounts, the transaction log entry will be directly above or below the highlighted entry that I inserted. This method is effective but extremely time consuming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know how to eliminate duplicates in Excel. Is there a way to eliminate everything BUT duplicates? This would make visually scanning the list easier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another problem remains because data inconsistency has limited the use of simple macros, filters, or the &quot;find duplicates&quot; button. Transaction log names are often spelled slightly different than on my master list. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Ex: Acme Widget Company, Inc.; Acme Widget Inc; Acme Widget; &#xD;&#xA;Ex: United States Hand-ball Organization; U.S. Handball Org; U S Handball; USHO&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know there are some third-party apps that can use fuzzy logic to match non-exact entries. However, I cannot run plug-ins on my enterprise machine. (Unless there is a very compelling case...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a macro that could 'normalize' the transaction log by eliminating spaces and punctuation? Is there a macro that can match the first X number of characters (more characters = higher accuracy, but greater chance of missing a near-duplicate entry...)? Is there a macro that can output or filter the resulting 'match' list?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If those tasks are too complicated, I have one simpler idea. After merging my highlighted account list into the transaction log, it would be nice to be able to hide all other transaction log lines that are &gt;5 lines above or below my highlighted items. This would allow some flexiblity for non-standard spellings, but greatly simplify the task of visual inspection through the list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any input on how to implement these ideas - or completely different approaches - would be greatly appreciated. I think the general answer to this question will be valuable to others beyond the narrow use-case that I have described.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!" />

The last one is simple to implement and will save you scroll-time.  I would create that macro, and then after the dupes are hidden just click and drag the 'standard' entry over the others." />

Unfortunately, many applications, such as Firefox and even Safari, don't actually obey this rule.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the OSXHIGuidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your application determines the minimum and maximum window size. Base these sizes on the resolution of the display and on the constraints of your interface. For document windows, try to show as much of the content as possible, or a reasonable unit, such as a page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your application also sets the values for the initial size and position of a window, called the standard state. Don’t assume that the standard state should be as large as possible; some monitors are much larger than the useful size for a window. Choose a standard state that is best suited for working on the type of document your application creates and that shows as much of the document’s contents as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user can’t change the standard size and location of a window, but your application can change the standard state when appropriate. For example, a word processor might define the standard size and location as wide enough to display a document whose width is specified in the Page Setup dialog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user changes a window’s size by dragging the size control (in the lower-right corner). As a user drags, the amount of visible content in the window changes. The upper-left corner of the window remains in the same place. The actual window contents are displayed at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the user changes a window’s size or location by at least 7 pixels, the new size and location is the user state.The user can toggle between the standard state and the user state by clicking the zoom button. When the user clicks the zoom button of a window in the user state, your application should first determine the appropriate size of the standard state. Move the window as little as possible to make it the standard size, and keep the entire window on the screen. The zoom button should not cause the window to fill the entire screen unless that was the last state the user set.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a user with more than one monitor zooms a window, the standard state should be on the monitor containing the largest portion of the window, not necessarily the monitor with the menu bar. This means that if the user moves a window between monitors, the window’s position in the standard state could be on different monitors at different times. The standard state for any window must always be fully contained on a single monitor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When zooming a window, make sure it doesn’t overlap with the Dock.

It doesn't matter what hardware you have on your computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main advantage to having a 64-bit OS is the ability to use more than 4GB RAM. On top of that, any applications written specifically to take advantage of 64-bit processors are going to be slightly faster than their 32-bit counterparts. Other than that, there is really no major difference between the two. So I would say you probably don't *need* a 64-bit OS, although it wouldn't hurt, so I would still recommend installing it (in case you want to add RAM to your system later)." />

The whole purpose of file extensions is to assign each unique extension to a program to open them. In theory, every file extension is a completely different format and therefore a program should not be set as a 'catch-all' for file extensions. Besides, what if you have a .zip file renamed to .jpg? What happens then?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What you could do though is to have an icon in your quick launch bar and drag-and-drop the files onto the program. If the program supports it, they should then launch and extract the file (or do whatever they do with them)." />

That is how you dual boot. I would recommend Ubuntu if you want some-thing user friendly. But then again, if you want to learn about coding more, get something that will require you to use the terminal and commands more. You can back up your entire hard drive. One option would be to create another partition using a free download-able service (find one at downloads.com) and copy all you files to the back-up partition. Another would be to back-up the files to a portable hard-drive. You won't need to partition your hard drive for Ubuntu, the installer will do it for you, making it much lesser stressful to do. Wubi is a good option if you just want to see what Ubuntu looks like without doing anything serious. Do some online research about partitions and what they are if you would like to feel more comfortable partitioning your drive, as you can lose data. Oh, and one last thing, when you install Ubuntu, it will be set as the main OS. Look up some GRUB info and find out how to set the default OS and work with the list of options for boot you will be given. Furthermore, remember that if you remove Ubuntu, make sure to remove GRUB, because otherwise you won't be able to boot." />

(**Edit**: Just to clarify, once upon a time there was another answer here that linked to [this Apple support page][1]. I still think that's a useful page to have linked as part of this discussion, so I'm putting it into this answer. Also, I don't want anyone thinking I imagined another answer.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Book the system into single-user mode. To do this, reboot and hold down Command and the 's' key at the same time. You're going to get a black screen and a lot of text. Don't freak out.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Mount the root volume by entering this (this command should be mentioned near the bottom of all the text you see as well):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    /sbin/mount -uw /&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. (**Edit**: Read all the way to the end for an alternative approach here.)&#xD;&#xA; Change your root user's password by entering `passwd` (no 'o' and no 'r'). It will prompt you to enter a password twice. Remember this one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. Enter `exit` to boot the rest of the way into the normal pretty Mac GUI.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 5. Open a terminal, enter `su` and your new root password.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 6. Enter `passwd &lt;name-of-user-here&gt;` but, you know, put the name of the user whose password you want to change, instead of `&lt;name-of-user-here&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 7. Change that user's password. Enter `exit` to drop the superuser status and powers. Enjoy your new password.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that many modern Unix-like distros block this &quot;reset the root user password without knowing the old one&quot; hack, but I just did it on the Mac I'm at (a brand new MacBook Pro). So, apparently, Mac hasn't blocked it. That's too bad in general, but perhaps good for you and your friend.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit**: Some people have mentioned in the comments that you can skip resetting the root password and simply reset the user's password. To do that, at step 3 above enter `passwd &lt;name-of-user-here&gt;` and then enter a new password for the user. If you do that, you can skip steps 5-7. Just follow step 4 to boot into the GUI and you're done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a good alternative *if that user was an administrator for the machine*. However, if the user was not an admin for the machine, you should make sure to reset an admin's password as well (or to reset a root password as I did above). You can repeat `passwd &lt;name-of-user-here&gt;` as many times as you need for various users. Just make sure to reset at least one account that has admin privileges. That way you have not only a user's password, but administrative access to the machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274" />

Organizations such as the Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) and Electronic Industries Association (EIA) set specific product standards, and these guidelines have resulted in cables being classified into various categories based on their performance levels. Just in case you’re not too familiar with cabling terminology, we at CableOrganizer.com would like to provide you with a few straightforward definitions and statistics on these three common grades of network cable, to help you better choose the right one to fit your needs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cat 5:** Out of the three types of cable we’ll be discussing, Category 5 is the most basic. Cat 5 cable is available in two varieties: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), the type widely used in the United States, and Screened Twisted Pair (SCTP), which has shielding to provide a measure of extra protection against interference, but is rarely used outside of Europe. Cables belonging to Category 5 are either solid or stranded: Solid Cat 5 is more rigid, and the better choice if data needs to be transmitted over a long distance, while Stranded Cat 5 is very flexible and most likely to be used as patch cable. Cat 5 cable can support 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet, and has a capability of up to 100MHz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cat 5e:** Cat 5e (which stands for Category 5, enhanced) cable goes along the same lines as basic Cat 5, except that it fulfills higher standards of data transmission. While Cat 5 is common in existing cabling systems, Category 5e has almost entirely replaced it in new installations. Cat 5e can handle data transfer at 1000 Mbps, is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, and experiences much lower levels of near-end crosstalk (NEXT) than Cat 5.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cat 6:** Of the three cable categories we’re discussing, Category 6 is the most advanced and provides the best performance. Just like Cat 5 and Cat 5e, Category 6 cable is typically made up of four twisted pairs of copper wire, but its capabilities far exceed those of other cable types because of one particular structural difference: a longitudinal separator. This separator isolates each of the four pairs of twisted wire from the others, which reduces crosstalk, allows for faster data transfer, and gives Category 6 cable twice the bandwidth of Cat 5! Cat 6 cable is ideal for supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and is able to operate at up to 250 MHz. Since technology and standards are constantly evolving, Cat 6 is the wisest choice of cable when taking any possible future updates to your network into consideration. Not only is Category 6 cable future-safe, it is also backward-compatible with any previously-existing Cat 5 and Cat 5e cabling found in older installations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Source and more information][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cableorganizer.com/articles/cat5-cat5e-cat6.htm" />

Text="Is there a way to test to see if a PC is killing monitors somehow?&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a power supply tester that I can use, but no other components have had problems.  Would a multimeter be of use or a danger? Are two dead LCD monitors bad luck, statistically significant, or both?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FYI: The PC and monitor are plugged into the same power strip. I have an outlet tester, but I need to dig it out of my junk box.

No swapped wires or poorly grounded outlets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Backstory for the bored or interested:&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;About 2 months ago, my wife yelled, &quot;Honey!  My computer isn't working!&quot; When I investigated, it turns out that the LCD monitor was dead.  It had power, but would not display anything on the screen.  I swapped displays with another PC to verify that the monitor was dead.  My monitor worked on her PC, but her monitor showed nothing on mine.  At the time it seemed like no big deal, it was 7 years old and had survived 2 moves.  It had served us well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I replaced her dead monitor with the monitor from my PC and bought a new (bigger, sexier) monitor for mine. Now, her PC appears to have claimed a second display.  This time it won't even power on.  Maybe the second display was also on it last legs and the move pushed it towards the light, but I don't want to buy another display if it's just going to get fried." />

Now lets answer your sub-questions :).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Can you partition a hard drive which&#xD;&#xA;&gt; already has an operating system on it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, and most Linux distributions include tools that will do this for you easily, and without negatively impacting your Windows data right inside the installer. WUBI will install Ubuntu just like any other Windows program without impacting your partitions at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What is the most user-friendly Linux Distro?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Ubuntu][2] is probably the most popular at this point, I recommend it strongly as it is built on a very solid base (Debian) and it was designed to be user-friendly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; How can I back up my entire hard drive?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would get an external USB hard drive and copy data to that. Thank you for considering this before you start!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Will my hardware work with Linux?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Probably. Most common hardware is well supported, and improvements are made in this area every day. Ubuntu's wiki has a comprehensive [guide on hardware compatibility][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hardware compatibility is a hard problem on all Operating Systems, not just Linux. Linux just has a reputation for not having strong hardware support. This is a fault of the *hardware manufacturers*, not Linux.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://wubi-installer.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.ubuntu.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/" />

There are some places online where you can download NTBackup.msi.  I'm not sure how much I trust some of the random sites but they're out there.  Also, Windows XP Home Edition comes with NTBackup.msi on the install cd under [CD]:\ValueAdd\MSFT\ntbackup.msi.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Windows XP Pro Install CD has NTBackup included as part of the i386 install folder.  You'll need to expand the NTBackup files (Ntbackup.exe, Ntmsapi.dll, Vssapi.dll) individually to your System32 directory in order to restore the original application.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'd actually recommend creating an NTBackup folder in Program Files and Expanding the files there instead.  This process will prevent you from overwritting your current version of NTBackup, in case it's not currupted and you want to go back.  Just keep in mind that if you do this then your original shortcuts to NTBackup still point to the old version and you'll probably want to create new shortcuts to the new location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming you 1) choose the program files option and 2) program files is on the C drive and 3) your Windows XP Pro CD is drive D and 4) you have already created the ntbackup folder under program files, the following commands should give you the results you need.  To open the command prompt click the start menu and select Run.  Type &quot;command&quot; (&quot;cmd&quot; works as well) and hit enter. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    expand d:\i386\ntbackup.ex_ c:\progra~1\ntbackup\ntbackup.exe&#xD;&#xA;    expand d:\i386\Ntmsapi.dl_ c:\progra~1\ntbackup\Ntmsapi.dll&#xD;&#xA;    expand d:\i386\Vssapi.dl_ c:\progra~1\ntbackup\Vssapi.dll&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the new setup of NTBackup produces the same results as before then check the log files to determine which file was being backed up at the point of freezing and research the possibility of that file being corrupt or locked somehow." />

It has a USB printer and eSATA hard drive enclosure that I have set up for sharing, with different accounts for the various users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2: Fujitsu laptop, Windows XP Tablet edition--&#xD;&#xA;   No problems.

I am aware that the printer issue is due to a known incompatibility between Vista and OS 10.4 and earlier with regards to Samba.  It is not a big problem, however, as this computer can access a network printer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5: Sony laptop, Windows Vista Home Premium--&#xD;&#xA;   Can connect to the shared printer, but not the shared drive.  It can see computer 1 and its shared drive on the network, and appears to successfully log in to user accounts.  However, if you try to access the shared drive, it says you do not have permission.  I have tried both standard and administrator accounts, and none can access the drive from this computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6: MacBook Pro, OS 10.5  (there are two of these)--&#xD;&#xA;   Can connect to the shared printer, but not the shared drive.  They can't see computer 1 on the network.  For that matter, they also can't see each other or the older Mac, but can see and access shared folders on the XP machine (computer 2) and can see other PCs in the building.  I was able to add the shared printer manually by typing in its network location, but was unable to manually add the shared drive in the same way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what I am looking for is suggestions on how to get computers 5 and 6 to connect to the shared drive.  Since they can already connect to the shared printer (which is on the same computer as the shared drive), it seems reasonable that they should be able to access the drive as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Two different models and different shapes. Switch your mice regularly to break the repetitive motion. It also helps to change your sitting position to change the repetition that causes the RSI.

Text="In document-based applications, the zoom button toggles between the user state and the optimum size for the content. Unfortunately, many applications, such as Firefox &lt;del&gt;and even Safari&lt;/del&gt;, don't actually obey this rule.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the OSXHIGuidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your application determines the minimum and maximum window size. Base these sizes on the resolution of the display and on the constraints of your interface. For document windows, try to show as much of the content as possible, or a reasonable unit, such as a page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your application also sets the values for the initial size and position of a window, called the standard state. Don’t assume that the standard state should be as large as possible; some monitors are much larger than the useful size for a window. Choose a standard state that is best suited for working on the type of document your application creates and that shows as much of the document’s contents as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user can’t change the standard size and location of a window, but your application can change the standard state when appropriate. For example, a word processor might define the standard size and location as wide enough to display a document whose width is specified in the Page Setup dialog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user changes a window’s size by dragging the size control (in the lower-right corner). As a user drags, the amount of visible content in the window changes. The upper-left corner of the window remains in the same place. The actual window contents are displayed at all times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the user changes a window’s size or location by at least 7 pixels, the new size and location is the user state.The user can toggle between the standard state and the user state by clicking the zoom button. When the user clicks the zoom button of a window in the user state, your application should first determine the appropriate size of the standard state. Move the window as little as possible to make it the standard size, and keep the entire window on the screen. The zoom button should not cause the window to fill the entire screen unless that was the last state the user set.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a user with more than one monitor zooms a window, the standard state should be on the monitor containing the largest portion of the window, not necessarily the monitor with the menu bar. This means that if the user moves a window between monitors, the window’s position in the standard state could be on different monitors at different times. The standard state for any window must always be fully contained on a single monitor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When zooming a window, make sure it doesn’t overlap with the Dock. For more information about the Dock, see “The Dock.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;" />

If you go with a card in the range of 75.00 t0 100.00 dollars...it will get the job done. I currently run Windows XP Professional. I'm new at this and did it all myself...but it works great. You also need to do some serious research on your and mother board and the current video card you have and the new one you buy.

I'm certain you can get an app for Ubuntu to do this too. Mainly the turn-off feature is useful when using your laptop in a bumpy environment, say on a bus or train, or in the back of an automobile, to limit the possibility of a head crash occuring.  **No amount of software can prevent physical damage to your disk from a major fall, though**. *If your'e going to be moving your laptop around a lot, it's definitely something you'll want to have active.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As always - just be careful, don't let your kids attack your laptop, and try to limit the drops it makes to the floor as much as possible.  *If you ride the bus/train/carpool and use your laptop during those rides, I'd try to get a jostle-detection tool on your laptop, assuming it has the appropriate hardware.  **It's not the end of the world if it doesn't, though, as many other posters have noted.***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Shock_resistance" />

Your elbow and forearm need good support.&#xD;&#xA;The included software provides automatic clicking by hovering and other aids for the physically impaired.

The cost of the mouse [~100 USD] must be for the software because the mouse itself is cheaply made.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At home, I emulated this design with a Logitech 'Trackman Wheel' [~30 USD] modified by gluing a 40 degree wedge under the left side to roll the trackball housing to the right, so that the ball faces up.

If I can get that one issue out of the way, building the rest of the DVD will be smooth sailing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it's not possible to fix the timestamps on this file: is there a better way to rip small chunks of the DVD into separate files for recompilation later?

That is, at least as long as the applications are installed through the system package manager. The advantage is, that everything is updated via the same system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming from World of Windows where each application is a separate entity, distinct from the system itself, this took a while getting used to. I wanted my applications to go in some &quot;Programs&quot; folder and stay there. But after a few system updates that not only updated my *system*, but *all of my applications* as well, I realized that there's going to be no more quirky auto-updaters for each application, no need to run a &quot;check for updates&quot; from some menu, no more downloading and installing patches manually. They just update. Just like that. You do get a tiny taste of this in Windows these days as Office updates itself via Microsoft update. Now just think of that for *every* application.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The downside is that you might have to mess with packet repositories, which still has some quirks. You can ignore this as long as you use applications that are available in the general distribution repositories - and most are, really - but if the application isn't there, you'll need to add it's repository for it to become available. Also, at least with Ubuntu, there's quite a huge delay before completely new versions of applications, like OpenOffice 3, become available unless you add their own repositories. I hope that adding repositories some day becomes as easy as adding applications, and we can forget all the mess about *manually* downloading and adding authorization keys and all that." />

When I power it up, it sometimes can't detect my primary harddisk (SATA, and it is a Maxtor), and I get an error like 'DISK BOOT FAILURE - INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually, when I turn off my computer and boot it again, it can suddenly find the drive, but it still can't boot. I then have to go to the BIOS and re-set the disk as my primary hard disk and then it boots again (at least I think that fixes it, but that can be coincedence, as I have changed some random settings before in the BIOS and it boots again).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, then it boots again, but a couple of days later, the problem can come back. Here is what I have tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. At first I thought it was the heat, being summer and all, my appartment gets pretty hot. But, it is cooler now, and I completely removed all the dust from inside my pc, and it doesn't get that hot actually, but still the problem persists. So I ruled that out.&#xD;&#xA;2. When opening my case to clean it, I checked the SATA and power cables. They were all connected fine.&#xD;&#xA;3. I have tried using the Seatools and Western Digital Diagnostics tools on both my harddrives (I have another SATA drive where I just store data). I ran full diagnostics but I don't recieve any errors, so I guess all sectors are just fine.&#xD;&#xA;4. I have tried enabled SMART monitoring in the BIOS, but none of the tools above seem to be able to read the SMART data...&#xD;&#xA;5. I have installed an anti-virus tool but nothing really came up, so I doubt it is a virus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried anything I can think of, except replacing the harddisk, but I don't want to buy a new harddisk when I'm not sure if my disk is failing. Could it be something else, for example, the motherboard or memory? If so, is there anyway to run some kind of diagnostics for this? I could update the BIOS, but I doubt that this is the problem, since I haven't installed any new hardware or software lately, so I can't see why this problem would suddenly come up. The mobo is an Asus A8N with a AMD 3800+ cpu, the failing disk is a SATA Maxtor, I don't know which type and I can't check it from here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would love to hear some suggestions.

I've read some articles concerning flash drive wear, and the main concerns seem to be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The amount of write cycles - each cell can be written to only a limited amout of times ([Wikipedia][1] has numbers ranging from 1,000 to 100,000)&#xD;&#xA;2. You can only write data on a &quot;sector&quot; once, and after that the whole block needs to be erased to use again - and these blocks are ranging from 16 KB to 128 KB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These are said to add up so that normal file systems that aren't designed to take this into account end up using wearing out the flash drive by moving small amounts of data.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I don't doubt that the problem is theoretically very real. However, I know we tech people get easily carried away by intesting optimization problems, such as designing an [alternative file system][2] to combat flash wear. For example it's great to do memory optimization, but if you end up saving 100 KB of memory when there's hundreds of MB available anyway, it's not fixing a real problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I end up getting from all this, is that I shouldn't use normal file systems on flash drives because they quickly eat up the drive. But I'm not convinced. So the question is: **Is flash drive wear actually relevant in everyday, normal usage?** Is my laptop, using ext3, going to eat up my flash drive in few years... or is all of this rather a theoretical problem that does recude the usage time, but only by so little that it'll never happen in normal conditions? Or is transparent, hardware [wear levelling][6] already being used on netbook flash drives to fix the problem, so that an alternative file system woudn't even do any good?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sources: [(1)][1],[(2)][2],[(3)][3],[(4)][4],[(5)][5],[(6)][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/114295&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_levelling" />

(Note that this assumes that the OS doesn't reassign the PCI bus numbers on boot, which would destroy the evidence; if that happens, the OS may be patching up the mess that the BIOS left.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use Windows, you can find the PCI bus/device/function numbers of a device by right clicking on it in Device Manager, selecting `Properties...`, selecting the `Details` tab, and selecting `Location information` in the `Property` listbox. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you use Linux, you can find the PCI bus/device/function numbers using the `lspci` command.&#xD;&#xA;" />

The reason M$ is suggesting at least twice as much memory is to allow for adequate contingencies since your 64-bit Windows comprises 32-bit libraries as well as 64-bit libraries for 32-bit app compability ... see below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;*The main disadvantage of 64-bit architectures is that **relative to 32-bit architectures the same data occupies more space in memory (due to swollen pointers and possibly other types and alignment padding)**. This increases the memory requirements of a given process and can have implications for efficient processor cache utilization. Maintaining a partial 32-bit model is one way to handle this and is in general reasonably effective. In fact, the highly performance-oriented z/OS operating system takes this approach currently, requiring program code to reside in any number of 32-bit address spaces while data objects can (optionally) reside in 64-bit regions.*&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

It uses the DNS servers specified in your network settings (or given to you by DHCP) to lookup the top domain (cnn.com) and then ask that domain's nameserver for the IP address of the subdomain specified (www.cnn.com).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After it has the IP address, your browser begin communications with the web server. This is done using the specified protocol (which usually defaults to HTTP 1.1). A 'GET' request for '/' is made to the server, which responds with the HTML document contents and the appropriate headers (which tell the browser of the document's content-type, HTML, and other information). Then the browser parses the document and finds any URLs which it needs to embed in the page (like images or linked stylesheets) and does GET requests on each of those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The browser also usually automatically makes a GET request for '/favicon.ico' (to display the little CNN icon next to the site title).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your browser will also likely specify in its request headers that it wants the response content to be compressed, using the gzip algorithm. This makes the file download much smaller, if the server supports it. This is all transparent to you, even though it's like downloading a ZIP file and unzipping it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you reload the page, your browser checks if that page is already cached in your system, and if so, it does an HTTP request just for the header of the document, and checks its modified date. If this date is later than its cached copy, it requests the full document contents again and refreshes the page. Otherwise it just uses your local copy." />

I am running version 180.44.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Edited to add the following suggestion as to how to go about isolating this failing hardware:*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this were my PC I would begin eliminating variables.  Switch the video card out with any other one you have laying around. Does the problem go away? If yes, you found the culprit. If the computer continues to lockup in the same way with a totally different video card then you need to isolate a different piece of hardware.  Keep in mind a video card may fail only when stressed which would indicate possibly bad cooling or even it being under powered.  RAM is also something that can begin to fail over time and cause crashes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FYI: A lot of computers will stress the CPU 100% when left in the BIOS screen. So as a CPU heat/stability test you could idle in the BIOS' health screen (the one that shows CPU temperature) and see if the computer gets overly hot or crashes there. If it does then I would suspect the CPU and/or its cooling.  Are you overclocking anything?" />

You can fancy it up with error-checking and other nice-to-have constructs at leisure:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #!/usr/bin/env perl&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    my ($sleep_duration) = @ARGV;&#xD;&#xA;    print &quot;Sleep:$sleep_duration\n&quot;;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    do{&#xD;&#xA;            my $status = qx(hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 --key &quot;battery.rechargeable.is_discharging&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;            if ($status =~ /true/)&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                    print &quot;On battery power\n&quot;;&#xD;&#xA;                    # shut down apache&#xD;&#xA;                    # shut down mysql&#xD;&#xA;                    # shut down postgresql&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            sleep $sleep_duration;&#xD;&#xA;    } while (true);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Within the script, you should use the start-up scripts to cleanly shut down mysql etc &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How can we improve on this? Once you have run this for a while and ironed out all the kinks, make this a service that starts up at boot. Check this answer [here](http://superuser.com/questions/21767/setting-a-default-cpu-frequency-in-ubuntu/21782#21782) for instructions on adding a script to start automatically at boot-up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you decide not to do this, check this [question](http://superuser.com/questions/26271/how-can-i-pass-root-password-to-a-script) for instructions on how to let this script execute commands that require root permissions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I realize I have only answered one portion of your question, but you should be able to incorporate the wireless section in similar fashion. Use HAL to understand when wireless is disabled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not exactly certain how you check and disable all processes that try to connect to the net, but the following commands might help you with that task:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    # list all processes using port 80&#xD;&#xA;    lsof -i tcp:80&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    #list programs connected via tcp &#xD;&#xA;    #include -u to include udp connections&#xD;&#xA;    sudo netstat -ntp&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/images/plan.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-power-manager/images/hal-addbatt.png&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Here's a description from the developer's site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FileCutter is a contextual menu plugin that improves on behavior already present in the Mac OS X Finder. In the last few versions of Mac OS X, Finder has provided the ability to copy and paste files (and folders) just like any other application does with its data. And it's very handy. But for reasons that only Apple knows, they've omitted two fairly obvious additions: The ability to cut files before pasting rather than merely copying them and the option of pasting an alias to the copied file rather than actually creating a duplicate file. FileCutter provides both of those functions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that you'll have to access this functionality via the context menu -- Ctrl-X won't work. Even so, still a pretty handy tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/474/what-feature-do-you-like-most-from-windows/498#498&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.splook.com/Software/FileCutter.html" />

I intend on backing up applications, documents, downloads, and other files to a mac formatted external USB harddrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently, I attempted to copy a VMWare Fusion created virtual machine to the drive, and then from that drive, move it to an Ubuntu host.  The virtual machine file was actually a package, and within that package, files were given restrictive permissions.  In other words, many files were only readable by the staff group and not the everyone group.  So, the result was that the Ubuntu machine could not open the virtual machine until I'd taken the files back to the Mac, then changed the permissions so that &quot;everyone&quot; could read the files.  I've seen similar behavior on Windows machines that are part of a domain with encrypted/protected drives.  These experiences make me wonder, is it ok to back-up to this mac formated drive or should I use a another harddrive that is fat32 formatted so that the permissions aren't restricted?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I plan on doing a clean installation, complete formatting, etc. not an upgrade.

I intend on backing up applications, documents, downloads, and other files to a Mac formatted external USB harddrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently, I attempted to copy a VMWare Fusion created virtual machine to the drive, and then from that drive, move it to an Ubuntu host.  The virtual machine file was actually a package, and within that package, files were given restrictive permissions.  In other words, many files were only readable by the staff group and not the everyone group.  So, the result was that the Ubuntu machine could not open the virtual machine until I'd taken the files back to the Mac, then changed the permissions so that &quot;everyone&quot; could read the files.  I've seen similar behavior on Windows machines that are part of a domain with encrypted/protected drives.  These experiences make me wonder, is it ok to back-up to this Mac formated drive or should I use a another harddrive that is FAT32 formatted so that the permissions aren't restricted?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I plan on doing a clean installation, complete formatting, etc. not an upgrade.

This program takes the raw MPEG streams and repackages them into the desired container. I took the same clip and created three files in three formats: dvr-ms (Microsoft's old recorded TV format); mpg (standard MPEG); and ts (raw MPEG transport stream of the kind often produced by PVRs).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When these three files are played back under Windows 7, the mpg and ts files play smoothly, but the dvr-ms file stutters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last piece of data I have is that two other Windows 7 machines can play back dvr-ms files smoothly with no stuttering. One is a netbook, with less grunt than the media centre. So there must be something specific about my Media Center machine that's causing the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone have any idea where I can look now? I don't know much about AV software, codecs, filter graphs etc. but I suspect that's where the problem lies. Rendering the video isn't the problem, but extracting the streams is.

To get around this, you can lock the file, which should prevent Safari from writing over it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I reset my top sites using the reset command after locking my top sites, and they stayed the same.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To lock a file, get the file info (Command + I) or File -&gt; Get Info. In the pop up window, place a tick in &quot;Locked&quot; and then close the Window.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This, combined with manually editing the file to get what you want on there, should stop Safari from Mucking around with your top sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit 2**:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a terminal, issue the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `cd ~/Library/Safari/`&#xD;&#xA;- `sudo chflags -R nouchg TopSites.plist`&#xD;&#xA;- `sudo chmod 444 TopSites.plist`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The `chflag nouchg` removes the &quot;user immutable&quot; flag. I'm not entirely sure what user immutable means in this particular context, but I would say that it means we're not able to modify that file without being root.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once it's had the flag removed, we can then chmod the file to 444 - which is completely read only. That should prevent Safari from making changes to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mactropolis.com/how-tos/how-to-edit-safari-4-beta-top-sites/" />

You should see code that checks for an iteractive shell (is PS1 set), and then checks for xterm (looking at $TERM variable), and does something different there than for other terminal types.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect somewhere in the bash initialization is a hard-coded setup, which should only be done on xterm-compatible console programs. Read man bash to find a total list of files you can look for and through.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all of the above fails, try&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    printenv | less&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And see if you can find something suspicious in there, and then track down where it is being set.

This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; article describes a simple way to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; disable the Insert key on your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keyboard.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Whenever you press a key, a windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; message is created, which contains a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; key code that uniquely identifies the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; key pressed. Programmes (like&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Microsoft Word) look for keypress&#xD;&#xA;&gt; messages and take actions based on the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; key code in the message. By mapping&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the insert key press event to null,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; windows send a message containing null&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for the key code when the Insert key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is pressed. Programmes receiving the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; message, therefore, do not perform the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; action associated with an insert key&#xD;&#xA;&gt; press event, freeing you from having&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to worry about overwriting things&#xD;&#xA;&gt; again.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;    1. Go to **Start → Run → regedit**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    2. Go to **HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Layout**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    3. Right-click on the right half of the screen and choose **New → Binary&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Value**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    4. Name the new Value **Scancode Map**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    5. Enter **000000000000000002000000000052E000000000**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    6. Close regedit&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    7. Reboot.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    8. Optional: you can take the Insert key off of your keyboard when&#xD;&#xA;&gt; done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Source][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-the-Insert-Key-in-Windows" />

Once you have configured ketarin.exe, you will be able to keep your existing system up-to-date on all your major and minor programs and if you have to rebuild your system, you can install ketarin.exe first, install your software database file, run ketarin.exe and download all your apps in one swell foop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that, you have to install your apps, but that process doesn't take as much time as finding all the downloads would take. And Ketarin is a useful tool for ongoing system maintenance, making the learning curve and effort to create your database worthwhile. There are templates available within Ketarin to download a large number of programs and you can create your own templates. I think you might get hooked and find the effort fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't tried it yet, but Ketarin allows you to run commands before and after downloading apps, so you could in principle run tests, configure silent mode, and cleanup afterward by putting commands or references to batch files directly in Ketarin.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you really are interested in writing scripts to do silent installs, MSFN, appdeploy.com, MSDN and InstallShield are sites worth visiting. I still use regular old cmd.exe batch files, but Microsoft has developed PowerShell to make things like this easier. It uses Windows Management Instrumentation to find out how your system is configured, so your scripts can make proper decisions on what to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are also tools to allow you to modify or create .msi installers, which have standard ways to tweak (or &quot;transform&quot;) the installers and make them run silently. You can also make standard installations from zip-packaged utilities that makes it easier to uninstall these installer-less programs. But I think this is suitable only if you are supporting a fairly large number of users, say, 20 or more.&#xD;&#xA;" />

Limited user is preferable to anti-virus software and I haven't heard of a single browser vulnerability that was exploitable in limited user mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with Windows limited user privilege is that runas works in a completely different user context -- the one that is used to supply the credentials to runas. This breaks down in all kinds of ways that Mom just isn't going to grok. Even getting Mom to understand how to enter runas commands in cmd.exe is going to twist her knickers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Linux has the right answer and it comes in two parts: first is software repositories and the second is called &quot;sudo&quot; (insert xkcd comic here) which stands for &quot;super user do&quot;. sudo runs in the current user context which tends to make things work right. There is a sudo for Windows that I like called surun.exe available from http://kay-bruns.de/download/surun.zip, but I'm not sure I recommend it for Mom unless you tweak it for her. But it does have the nice capability to let Windows Update or Microsoft Update run in limited user mode and it allows limited users to change power options and set the clock.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you set Mom up in limited user mode, you need to create an Administrator account to use for installing and tweaking. I suggest you remote logon and do the heavy lifting for Mom, but check out surun.exe if only to allow AU and the other features it includes by default for limited users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option is to have Mom run her browser in a sandbox, like sandboxie.exe. I can't recommend it, unless you want to prevent Mom from downloading and uploading personal stuff like photos and chain letter jokes. But if Mom doesn't do downloading and uploading, a sandbox is the best way to get limited privilege to apply to the most vulnerable application on Mom's machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Therefore to keep absolutely up-to-date in all apps you'll need to use multiple distros. Virtualization is the easiest way to do this. Using virtualbox in seamless mode makes it seem, visually, like all the apps are running in your host.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Still, if you want cutting edge you'll need to compile. Some apps aren't available in any distro until released as &quot;stable&quot;. Some apps are never available in any distribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wouldn't recommend using any unstable distro version without virtualization. Keep your host running a released distro that's reasonable up to date like Fedora, Arch, Gentoo (you didn't want to compile though) or whatever distro you're most comfortable with that supports the virtualizer you choose. Then install the beta versions of whatever distros you need in virtuals to satisfy the range of apps you're interested in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently most distros will not remain fully stable and usable throughout the alpha/beta cycle until release. Recent beta distros that have broken during upgrades include Ubuntu karmic, Fedora 12, Mandriva 2010 and OpenSuse 11.2. Typical problems are proprietary video and hardware drivers, kernel boot problems and gui system configuration tools.

This is great for flexibility, but can cause confusion if you were expecting one single entity to configure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[From Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment):&#xD;&#xA;&gt; On systems running the X Window System&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (typically Unix-like systems), the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **desktop environment** is much more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; flexible. In this context, a **desktop environment**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; typically consists of a **window manager**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (such as Metacity or KWin), a **file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manager** (such as Nautilus or Dolphin),&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **a set of themes**, and **programs and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; libraries for managing the desktop.**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *All of these individual modules can be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; exchanged and individually configured&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to achieve a unique combination, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; most desktop environments provide a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; default configuration that requires&#xD;&#xA;&gt; minimal user input.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Desktop Environment**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment) &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;On a fresh Ubuntu install, you'd typically be using the [GNOME desktop environment](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME). The other major alternative is [KDE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE), but there are [lots of other options](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments) for those with a different taste.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Window Managers**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager) &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;The desktop environment delegates the handles the actual placement and appearance of windows to the window manager. If you're using GNOME, you're likely to be running [Metacity](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity), [Compiz](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz) or even just a [window decorator](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_decoration) like *gtk-window-decorator*. If you're running KDE, you're probably using [KWin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWin). As usual, there's a [wealth of options](http://xwinman.org/) to choose from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This are a little more complicated that what I just said above, but we'll stick to that for now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, once you have figured out the environment you're running, head over to [gnome-look.org](http://www.gnome-look.org/) and look through the themes available for the desktop environment and window manager components. Look under the relevant sections, and *look up instructions on how to install themes for your window manager and desktop environment*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not get discouraged if some themes do not install properly; move on and try another. If this interests you, learn further about the desktop environment. There are many different components you can theme. You can even configure the GDM (GNOME display manager), the graphical login program, with [some beautiful themes](http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Crisp+Clear+Morning?content=48994). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/48994-1.png" />

I'm generally pleased with Thunderbird.  I like that it works on all OSes (I use several).  I like that it can handle multiple accounts (I have several).  I like that I find it intuitive.  I want to keep using it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm having some **serious** trouble getting the junk mail filters to actually work.  This is on Ubuntu with Thunderbird 2.0.0.22, and MacOS 10.4 with Thunderbird 2.0.0.16.  There's more than one account.  There's also more than one Thunderbird instance but they are sharing Junk folders over IMAP (only way I know to train both of them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everything I've ever read suggests that after training on 3000-4000 messages most spam should be caught (barring waves of new varieties which come along periodically).  That's been my experience in the past.  At first, mostly untrained, I was getting between 20 and 200 messages a day.  This didn't slow down much after a couple of days.  I have a fairly large body of existing spam, some 20000 messages, and I added it all at once.  That improved the true positive rate considerably, though I was still getting a handful of spam messages a day.  Frustratingly many of these seemed to be the *same* message, and Thunderbird seems to have a great deal of trouble recognizing some of these.  (I looked at a few to see if they are doing the normal tricks that give filters a hard time: images instead of text and/or random paragraphs of &quot;known good text&quot;.  In one case that was true but in others the messages appear to be short and mostly empty.  No images or embedded text.)  And now, in the past week or so, the rate has shot back up again to a dozen or more an hour.  It's as if the filtering has just stopped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basic procedure and obvious gotchas, which I've already done:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - Enabling junk mail filtering in Thunderbird requires two separate settings:&#xD;&#xA;    - In the `Options` (aka `Preferences)` select `Privacy | Junk` and enabled 'When I mark messages as junk`.  You then choose to move messages to a Junk folder or delete them.  I always do the former to prevent losing mail.&#xD;&#xA;    - Under `Account Settings` for the account select `Junk Settings` enable `Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know these work because junk mail *is* being filtered.  Just poorly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Things I've tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - I've tried looking at the file `training.dat`.  I've peered inside it with things like `od` and `strings` and it is mostly embedded strings.  But the format is basically opaque.  It does grow, but noticeably it does *not* grow every time I mark a message as junk.&#xD;&#xA;  - I've turned on Junk Filter Logging (`Preferences | Privacy | Enable junk filter logging`).  This does nothing.  There is no log.  I seem to remember trying this years ago and it didn't do anything then either.&#xD;&#xA;  - I've considered tossing `training.dat` and starting over, but (a) it is changing (b) I don't really want to start over and (c) there's no way to mix training files, so you really can't go back to an old file without losing whatever you've gained.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - How can I tell if training is *actually* happening?&#xD;&#xA;  - Should I expect `training.dat` to change every time I mark something as junk?&#xD;&#xA;  - Why don't the logs appear?&#xD;&#xA;  - Do I have to mark each message *individually*, or can I mark a whole bunch of messages at once?&#xD;&#xA;  - Are there any tools for finding out when the filter runs and what it is doing when it does?&#xD;&#xA;  - Are there any tools for decoding the training file?&#xD;&#xA;  - Overall, why does it seem to have stopped working, and what can I do about it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's lots of links to Thunderbird junk mail filtering on Google, but they almost all boil down to basic tutorials.  I am looking for more than just basic instructions: I want to know how to debug or diagnose how the filter is working -- or not working.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:**&#xD;&#xA;I wasn't clear about this originally but I have successfully used Thunderbird in the past, for a period of many years.  I stopped for a few years because I was using Apple Mail.  So it's not a problem of not knowing the basics or not getting any filtering.  Filtering is happening just sporadically and poorly." />

I've used PM in the past with plenty of ease. Unfortunately, I also used PM once and then had to re-install Windows and everything else all over again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But Windows has a neat trick that you might consider to be interesting. In the &quot;Computer Management console you can go to &quot;Disk management&quot; and change the drive letter. This feature also allows you to assign a disk to a path instead! So you could assign &quot;C:\Data&quot; to your D: drive and remove the D: completely. It would still be two disks but within C:\Data you have all the disk space of your D: drive while the rest uses the capacity of your C: drive. &#xD;&#xA;There's just a risk when you want this to contain e.g. your &quot;Program files&quot; folder or your Documents folder. If you'd redirect a folder that's critical for Windows during start-up and login then you could end up re-installing Windows again.&#xD;&#xA;Still, this disk-behind-a-folder technique can have plenty of purposes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, back up now!&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;One note about PartitionMagic, though. I purchased my 8.0 version about 5 years ago. It still is the most recent version so there's no guarantee that it will work with Vista or Windows 7 and maybe it won't even work with an up-to-date XP version! When will you know if it works? Well, either the repartitioning succeeds or you have to re-install Windows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PartitionMagic" />

The picture freezes for a fraction of a second, then quickly catches up. The sound is uninterrupted and doesn't pause.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These freezes happen once every 5 seconds or so. It's very regular.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Playback of Live TV from the digital tuner is perfectly smooth. DVD playback is perfectly smooth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an experiment, I used the MPEG editing package VideoReDo to create a small test file in three different formats. This program takes the raw MPEG streams and repackages them into the desired container. I took the same clip and created three files in three formats: dvr-ms (Microsoft's old recorded TV format); mpg (standard MPEG); and ts (raw MPEG transport stream of the kind often produced by PVRs).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When these three files are played back under Windows 7, the mpg and ts files play smoothly, but the dvr-ms file stutters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last piece of data I have is that two other Windows 7 machines can play back dvr-ms files smoothly with no stuttering. One is a netbook, with less grunt than the media centre. So there must be something specific about my Media Center machine that's causing the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone have any idea where I can look now? I don't know much about AV software, codecs, filter graphs etc. but I suspect that's where the problem lies. Rendering the video isn't the problem, but extracting the streams is. How would I go about diagnosing the problem?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;Edited to add:&lt;/b&gt; I just used the GraphStudio tool to look at the filter graph on the offending PC. The filter graph it uses by default for dvr-ms looks identical to the other machines, and, interestingly, when I play the files using GraphStudio they run smoothly. Under Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center they stutter. I'd like to see the filter graph for WMP but GraphStudio won't show it. It looks like WMP and WMC are using a different decoding path to GraphStudio." />

When I am trying, I'm connecting to an ethernet port on the back of my router.  Is there a setting I'm missing or a setting that I have set wrong?

Now my WinXP BSODs every time I boot, no matter if I choose safe mode or normal startup.  The BSOD happens so fast that I can't see the specific driver.sys file thats causing the problem.  But, I'm almost positive it will be the 3512.  If I use the WinXP cd-rom and try to use the recovery console doesn't detect the drive.  I can get into the card's BIOS and all looks ok.

The picture freezes for a fraction of a second, then quickly catches up. The sound is uninterrupted and doesn't pause.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These freezes happen once every 5 seconds or so. It's very regular.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Playback of Live TV from the digital tuner is perfectly smooth. DVD playback is perfectly smooth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an experiment, I used the MPEG editing package VideoReDo to create a small test file in three different formats. This program takes the raw MPEG streams and repackages them into the desired container. I took the same clip and created three files in three formats: dvr-ms (Microsoft's old recorded TV format); mpg (standard MPEG); and ts (raw MPEG transport stream of the kind often produced by PVRs).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When these three files are played back under Windows 7, the mpg and ts files play smoothly, but the dvr-ms file stutters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The last piece of data I have is that two other Windows 7 machines can play back dvr-ms files smoothly with no stuttering. One is a netbook, with less grunt than the media centre. So there must be something specific about my Media Center machine that's causing the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone have any idea where I can look now? I don't know much about AV software, codecs, filter graphs etc. but I suspect that's where the problem lies. Rendering the video isn't the problem, but extracting the streams is. How would I go about diagnosing the problem?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;Edited to add:&lt;/b&gt; I just used the GraphStudio tool to look at the filter graph on the offending PC. The filter graph it uses by default for dvr-ms looks identical to the other machines, and, interestingly, when I play the files using GraphStudio they run smoothly. Under Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center they stutter. I'd like to see the filter graph for WMP but GraphStudio won't show it. It looks like WMP and WMC are using a different decoding path to GraphStudio.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;b&gt;Edited again to add:&lt;/b&gt; Today I purchased a new HDTV. The same Media Center driving the TV at 1080p is now playing back the old Recorded TV files smoothly, without stuttering. So whatever the cause of the original problem, using a different resolution seems to have removed the problem. It might also explain why nobody else has had this problem. I doubt many people use Media Centre with a 14in portable TV." />

Check Windows Update for any updated drivers for that device.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    2. Check the Microsoft Windows 7 Hardware Support page.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    3. If your computer came pre-installed with Windows XP or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista, check the computer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manufacturers website for Vista&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatible drivers.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    4. Did you try to install the drivers in Vista Compatibility Mode?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    5. Did you right click and select the Run as Admin option?&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    6. If you purchased the device from a retail vendor, check the device&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manufacturers website for either Vista&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatible or the latest Windows Beta&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drivers. (ie: Dell has Windows 7 Beta&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drivers for many of their newer NVIDIA&#xD;&#xA;&gt; graphics cards)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    7. Search this forum using the device name and model as search&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keywords. Another user may have found&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a workaround for the problem you are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    8. Check to make sure that the hardware manufacturer will be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; supporting that device with Windows 7&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compatible drivers. We have learned in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; past beta testing that some&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manufacturers will not be supporting&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the new operating system with updated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; drivers for particular, outdated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; device model.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;    9.

Now my headphones works beautifully although I'm not sure why :) Nothing except skype has changed but my stereo sound magically got fixed too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My setup is: PulseAudio 0.9.15, bluez 4.41, Skype 2.1 beta (from official site for Ubuntu 8.10 32bit) and blueman 1.10. Skype works entirely through PulseAudio, in fact it can't work any other way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After pairing my headphones I have one new device in PulseAudio. In configuration tab for this device I can choose the profile, either mono (and then I can use it as audio sink or source) or stereo (only sink is visible). In mono mode it works with skype, in stereo it sounds good. And I don't have to restart anything :) Although there's a twist, stereo sink is much much more quiet than mono sink, when I disconnect from skype and change my headphones to stereo at first I thought my sound got missing but it just was too quiet to hear anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're going to use blueman with pulseaudion 0.9.15 like I do, make sure you have PulseAudio plugin for it turned off (Bluetooth applet right-click -&gt; about -&gt; Plugins). If it is turned on as some sites on the internet suggests, it creates additional device in PulseAudio so you have two of them instead of just one and those devices could not work together anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also make sure you have `pulseaudio-module-bluetooth` installed, in 0.9.14 it was statically linked into PulseAudio but in 0.9.15 it is additional package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it works, I'm happy :) Have to move everything to Linux now :)" />

I can't use the standard leading dot because the name of the link itself is important for applications that look for it &amp; a leading dot changes the name.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is, how do I hide the symbolic link without hiding the directory it links to or changing its name?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I intentionally kept my question vague because it's a small experiment with the Finder, but here's some more details to clarify exactly what I'm trying to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finder uses the $HOME/Desktop folder for the desktop itself, it doesn't matter if it's a link, alias or a completely different folder called “Desktop” (such as the home folder itself) as long as it's in the $HOME directory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I made a symbolic link to my home directory named “Desktop” in order to populate the contents of Finder's desktop with the contents of my home folder (if you try this, it doesn't take effect until you login again, also this was done on 10.6). That also places the symbolic link itself on my desktop of course which I don't want to see in either a Finder window or on the desktop itself. If I were to rename it to “.Desktop” in order to hide it, it would hide, but the link between my home folder &amp; my desktop would also be broken." />

No need to do that manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then we have to check if it works.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo rmmod gspca_ov519&#xD;&#xA;    $ sudo modprobe ov51x-jpeg forceblock=1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Open your favourite application with video (I used skype 2.1 beta) and check if you have a picture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now you have to make sure it all will work after reboot.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    $ echo 'blacklist gspca_ov519' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/creative_vista.conf&#xD;&#xA;    $ echo 'options ov51x-jpeg forceblock=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/creative_vista.conf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: this will disable gspca_ov519 driver completely, so if you ever will change webcam, make sure you delete `/etc/modprobe.d/creative_vista.conf` file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now restart your computer and check if it works." />

How comfortable you are with my definition of &quot;almost&quot; is really the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reality is this - if you do a clean install, then you can practically guarantee that every step of that process was tested by QA and engineering in *exactly the same environment as you are in*.  The problem with testing &quot;upgrade&quot; is that there are literally an infinite number of states your machine/OS image could be in before you start the upgrade.  Many, many, of these states are tested, but certainly not all.  Generally, if you do not install software that messes with core OS services (TweakUI, etc. on windows, Adobe FontManager on MacOS X, to name a few) you will probably be ok.  However, it's always possible that some 3rd party installed some piece of software that will hose up the upgrade process, and Microsoft/Apple didn't test that configuration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, it depends on what you mean by &quot;works&quot;.  Software that was doing bad things (but workable in version X), may very well be broken in version Y - this includes likely anything that is hacking around limitations in your current OS.  Also, there are always a few significant API changes in OS releases that will cause a few apps to stop working.  That being said, NEITHER upgrade nor clean install will help you with either of those problems - so don't blame &quot;upgrade&quot; for causing you problems in a situation where the problems are that your old software doesn't work when that wasn't going to happen anyhow." />

For the archives, this is what I've written down after **installation on a Mac using OS X 10.5 Leopard**, a long time ago:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Canon PIXMA iP4000R drivers are included in a default installation of Mac OS X Leopard.&#xD;&#xA;- The Network Setup program on the Canon printer cd does not work with Leopard. (My printer cd is labeled PIXMA iP4000R Setup Software &amp; User's Guide, MCD 1.1, QH7-1581, copyright 2004.)&#xD;&#xA;- The firewall must be set to allow incoming connections for &quot;Canon IJ Printer Utility&quot;. (At least during installation: if not allowed, then the list for &quot;Canon IJ Network&quot; in the Network Setup program will be empty. And maybe this is also required for normal use, like to see the supply levels -- but I don't see those on demand anyway, though the printer does warn me when ink or paper runs out.)&#xD;&#xA;- Given the notes I wrote down about the cd not being usable, I might have downloaded some [new software][1] then. **But maybe all that is needed is already included** and all that's to be done is go to System Preferences, Print &amp; Fax to add a new printer. Here, go to More Printers, wait until &quot;Searching for installed printer drivers&quot; completes and select Canon IJ Network, which should then detect your printer. (*Can anyone confirm that no cd, nor downloads, nor setup program are required for Mac OS X Leopard?*)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: the upgrade to **OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard** simply removes the existing iP4000R printer. When connecting it through USB it shows and installs without any question, but no luck for the network settings. In fact, the whole &quot;More printers&quot; tab has disappeared, just like &quot;Bluetooth&quot; and &quot;AppleTalk&quot; (the latter is indeed no longer supported)... A solution may be found at macosxhints.com, [10.6: Install Canon printer drivers in Snow Leopard][2]. As the web interface of the printer has an option to enable/disable *RAW Port (9100)* and *LPD*, I just added a new printer using *Line Printer Daemon*, entered the IP address, and then changed *Print using: Generic PostScript Printer* into *Select Printer Software*. Selecting *Canon iP4000R* gets me in an endless loop to enter the correct queue name, but using the Gutenprint drivers allows for using the default queue. It's terribly slow though, so to be continued... &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep an eye on [apple.com/support/snowleopard][3] and *post your findings in the comments!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&amp;tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&amp;fcategoryid=257&amp;modelid=10438#DownloadDetailAct&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090825110938102&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/" />

If this goes ok, then it isn't your computer but some installed application that's causing this. You'll need to find out which one by a hit and miss method (start with uninstalling all applications that seem useless). But start first by running some antivirus tests, just to be sure.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;If booting in safe mode doesn't go well, then the trouble begins. The next step is to run hardware diagnostics, especially on the hard disk, hoping that if a hardware problem exists then it will show up.

I'm running Windows 7 and as of now I simply share folders as one usually does in Windows. I then have a MacBook with Leopard (Now Snow Leopard) which I use to connect to my computer to mount the shares by going to Finder, then &lt;kbd&gt;CMD&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; and typing `smb://BlaenkPC` (*The name of my PC*) into the address box. This consequently connects to my computer and mounts all of the shares.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **problem** is that sometimes, if for example I close my MacBook (*Which makes it go to sleep*) or sometimes even without doing that, the connection somehow drops. Sometimes I close the MacBook and upon re-opening it, everything still works; it's random. It still shows the computer as being connected, but it just shows 'loading' indefinitely. If I hit 'eject' with the intention of re-connecting to the computer, it disappears from the sidebar (The Computer Icon) in Finder, but I cannot re-connect. Activity Monitor (or `ps aux`, whichever) both show hung instances of `umount`; one for each share that was mounted. I cannot kill these processes with `kill` or `killall` (*Yes, even with sudo, and sending signal -9*). This has [happened to me before](http://superuser.com/questions/10593/how-can-i-force-unmount-a-network-device-on-mac), and here is [another person](http://superuser.com/questions/7996/os-x-keeps-losing-my-linux-samba-shares) who has experienced this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**My question boils down to this**: Is there an alternative method of sharing folders in Windows, that my Mac can read/understand, that is possibly more reliable and preferably just as fast? I usually use the mounted shares to watch television episodes off my computer, or movies, etc. (*In other words, I open them in VLC and they automatically stream from my computer*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I can tell, this is a problem with the Samba protocol. I have heard of NFS, but I am not sure if I would have to re-format my drives, or what. I don't mind running a service or daemon to allow the sharing of the folders, I just want it to be done and hopefully in a better way than typical Windows shares through Samba.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually when I encounter this problem, which is *often* (read: every day), I have no other option but to restart the MacBook. As I stated in the first question I linked to, shutting down and restarting don't work; I have to manually force the shutdown by holding the power button.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have not modified my installation of Mac OS X in any hackish way, so I doubt it's something with the Operating System, but worst come to worst, I might end up reformatting and doing a clean install to see if that fixes anything, as I am at a complete loss as to what may be causing the problem, and no one else seems to have any idea or care, despite there being quite a few people suffering from this problem, as my research has shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any pieces of information that can help are extremely appreciated. You don't have to answer every question on here, but maybe even some insight as to why it might not be possible to kill those hung `umount` instances for example, or why I may not be able to reconnect using samba (*Is it something regarding the way the protocol works?*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**One thing to note** is that I have another computer in the home network that doesn't seem to have this problem. However, it is also running Windows 7 (*Note though that I am not using the homegroup feature, but the typical windows sharing feature*). My only deduction is that the problem is being caused by the way the Mac (Or Samba implementation, whichever) is handling things. Perhaps it is a limitation." />

The app has its own updater.  This is rare, but happens on occasion.  For certain apps (e.g. Firefox), the manual update is restricted to the super user.&#xD;&#xA;2. You check the site regularly for updates.  This is not, by any means, a preferable solution, but sometimes happens for apps which aren't provisioned in a repository.  Songbird isn't in the repository, but I've only recently installed it, so I don't know what their upgrade path is.&#xD;&#xA;3. The site contains information for adding their repository location to your list in /etc/apt/sources.list.  This allows you to get updates in the Update Manager, which can be set to automatically check for new versions.  You can also try to get an upgrade from the command-line with apt-get.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, the second two options aren't the most user-friendly, particularly to those who are recently introduced to Linux, and the first is pretty hit-or-miss.  The second option is ok (like Phobia said, .deb files are quite simple to install), but often the upgrade isn't directly supported by installing a different .deb version (e.g. VirtualBox OSE to VirtualBox Commercial).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All said and done, the best way to help them keep their system up-to-date is to teach them about repositories and the Update Manager (i.e. adding repos, importing their signatures, and updating their package list).  If the application they're using provides repositories, they can add them once and then upgrade when they need to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not a perfect solution (this sometimes breaks when you upgrade your Ubuntu distribution), but I think it's the best you can do for new Linux users." />

Things this might count for are running it as a shared file server, a small public web server (assuming your Internet link is such that this is practical) or home mail server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the machine is of the same era as your main machine (or others that you have around) then maybe its most practical use for you is as a spare parts service!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or if you don't already have a good backup arrangement in place for your work files you could perhaps setup an online backup system in it so help safeguard you important files from destruction if, for instance, the hardrives normally holding that data die.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you don't find a use for it yourself you could try the local school or charity option, though many will not take electrical items (at least officially) because the safety tests that might be required to perform before using it (in a school) or passing it on (via a charity shop or other scheme) might make using it more hassle/expense than it is worth to them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option is [freecycle][1] - if your area has a group then someone on there will happily collect it from you. Don't be surprised to see it on eBay or similar afterwards though! Some people get quite annoyed when this happens but I personally don't care - I put things on freecycle to avoid them going into landfill rather than having any human interest in what it gets used for other than landfill (and if it was worth (to me) the hassle selling it, I'd have done that myself). Not wishing to accuse some people on my local freecycle group of not telling the truth, but the massive amount of elderly grandmothers in my area whose TV's apparently blew up *the very weekend* I listed my old one on freecycle would otherwise suggest there is a major problem with the local electricity supply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final option you suggested yourself: recycling. If you take this route make sure the place you send it to recycles the machines in an environmentally friendly way rather than risking its burned remains choking up some river once the rearer metals have been extracted by wage slaves who have to drink from that river.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*One very important point before padding the machine on in any way: make sure that any sensitive data* (your friends contact details, stored passwords, banking details, work related documents they may have composed on the machine, porn collection, and so on) *is properly erased beforehand*. A simple &quot;write over with zeros&quot; pass should be sufficient in most cases (who is going to care to use expensive and/or time consuming forensic tests to read the previous data from the zeroed disk?) but you can go much further if you think greater paranoia is warranted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.freecycle.org/" />

This means that when rendering a screen across a network, this information is used to compress the data stream significantly.

Mostly because Windosws 7 is telling you that the executable command.exe was installed from the internet. This could indicate virus activity, which is a possibility since windows 7 does not ship with antivirus software installed, and most existing AV software must be uninstalled prior to upgrading and the Win 7 version installed after the install is complete. This leaves your system vulnerable to attack -- a silent one since no AV is installed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Run a Virus scan against the executable first. if that is not the issue then I would recomend inserting the windows 7 dvd into the dvd drive of your pc, rebooting to the DVD, and running the automated repair utility. If you installed from a wim OR iso file, you will need to burn the image to a dvd first, as you must runt the repair utility before the OS boots. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you used a WIM image, and your dvd burning software does not support WIM images, you can Use the IMageX utility in the Windows Automated Installation Kit located at microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c7d4bc6d-15f3-4284-9123-679830d629f2&amp;DisplayLang=en . &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have not used imageX before I would strongly suggest downloading the third party ImageX gui , GImageX http://www.autoitscript.com/gimagex/ This will let you mount the imaged you ned, and create the iso, so you can burn the dvd, so you can fix your installation of Windows 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before all of this, of course, back up all your data, as the last resort would be a Format, re-install and restore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of this assumes, you have a legitimate licensed copy of Windows 7, and not a pirated copy downloaded from a warez sight that preinstalled malware for you. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope that Helps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Also, WinKey+R does not run in admin mode, and running from the search in Windows Seven does indeed work, I use it all the time.***" />

When I power it up, it sometimes can't detect my primary harddisk (SATA, and it is a Maxtor), and I get an error like 'DISK BOOT FAILURE - INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually, when I turn off my computer and boot it again, it can suddenly find the drive, but it still can't boot. I then have to go to the BIOS and re-set the disk as my primary hard disk and then it boots again (at least I think that fixes it, but that can be coincedence, as I have changed some random settings before in the BIOS and it boots again).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, then it boots again, but a couple of days later, the problem can come back. Here is what I have tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. At first I thought it was the heat, being summer and all, my appartment gets pretty hot. But, it is cooler now, and I completely removed all the dust from inside my pc, and it doesn't get that hot actually, but still the problem persists. So I ruled that out.&#xD;&#xA;2. When opening my case to clean it, I checked the SATA and power cables. They were all connected fine.&#xD;&#xA;3. I have tried using the Seatools and Western Digital Diagnostics tools on both my harddrives (I have another SATA drive where I just store data). I ran full diagnostics but I don't recieve any errors, so I guess all sectors are just fine.&#xD;&#xA;4. I have tried enabled SMART monitoring in the BIOS, but none of the tools above seem to be able to read the SMART data...&#xD;&#xA;5. I have installed an anti-virus tool but nothing really came up, so I doubt it is a virus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried anything I can think of, except replacing the harddisk, but I don't want to buy a new harddisk when I'm not sure if my disk is failing. Could it be something else, for example, the motherboard or memory? If so, is there anyway to run some kind of diagnostics for this? I could update the BIOS, but I doubt that this is the problem, since I haven't installed any new hardware or software lately, so I can't see why this problem would suddenly come up. The mobo is an Asus A8N with a AMD 3800+ cpu, the failing disk is a SATA Maxtor, I don't know which type and I can't check it from here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would love to hear some suggestions. What do you think is likely the cause of this? Are there any recommended tools (preferably free) I could use for further diagnostics? Thanks!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I eventually bought a new harddisk, installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and so far all is well. I'm pretty sure it was the harddisk. Thanks all!" />

Can you please recommend me what I should be paying attention to when choosing it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is how it's going to be used:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Mostly coding and reading (websites and books). I'd say about 70% of the time.&#xD;&#xA; - Gaming. About 25% of the time.&#xD;&#xA; - Veeeery rarely, watching some films. 5% at most.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here are some of the specs I'd like to hear your advice about:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Display size/Aspect ratio: The bigger the better? I've heard something about widescreens being not-so-good for reading text or coding. Higher vertical resolution was better, 'cause you can see more of the text/code at the same time, or something like that. Is it really that important?&#xD;&#xA; - Pixel pitch: Less is better, I suppose? What is the optimal value? Will the picture look 'grainy' with bigger pitch, or something like that?&#xD;&#xA; - Brightness: Brighter is better? Or will it burn out holes in my brain at some point? :) What is the optimal value?&#xD;&#xA; - Contrast ratio: Bigger is better? Optimal value?&#xD;&#xA; - Viewing angle: Doesn't matter, since I'm the only one looking at it and I usually sit right in front of it. Or does it?&#xD;&#xA; - Response time: What does it affect and is there a real noticeable difference between 5 and 2 ms, for example?&#xD;&#xA; - Input signal: DVI is a must?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By 'optimal value' I understand some value that gives best results/quality without costing obscene amount of money. I know it is very subjective, but I need some approximate value range to pick from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have any suggestions/recommendations about other specs, I'll be glad to hear them too." />

Denoising params: Y: 0/1.0 (no chroma denoise), Cb: 7590/1.0, Cr: 7409/1.0. No undithering, no sharpening. You may note that color noise is removed but luma noise and details (!) remain untouched.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, as the original image is badly dithered (ex-gif?), this may be helped too (dithering is not noise per se, but looks similar). Now I applied [GREYCstoration](http://cimg.sourceforge.net/greycstoration/index.shtml) filter with default parameters to smooth out dithering and sharpened the image with Refocus plugin to recover some lost details. You may also recover some sharpness by applying Unsharp Mask or better Smart Sharpen Redux.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Enhanced more (also smoothed dithered areas and Refocused):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Wavelet denoise + Greycstoration (undither) + Refocus](http://www.picamatic.com/show/2009/08/31/03/38/4913059_420x525.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All these GIMP plugins are free and cross-platform and work on Windows too.

The major advantage of virtual memory is that it allows more processes to execute concurrently than might otherwise fit in physical memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;While virtual memory has limits that are related to physical memory limits, virtual memory has limits that derive from different sources and that are different depending on the consumer. For example, there are virtual memory limits that apply to individual processes that run applications, the operating system, and for the system as a whole. It's important to remember as you read this that virtual memory, as the name implies, has no direct connection with physical memory. Windows assigning the file cache a certain amount of virtual memory does not dictate how much file data it actually caches in physical memory; it can be any amount from none to more than the amount that's addressable via virtual memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is a very good read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**How Big Should I Make the Paging File?**  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;Perhaps one of the most commonly asked questions related to virtual memory is, how big should I make the paging file? There’s no end of ridiculous advice out on the web and in the newsstand magazines that cover Windows, and even Microsoft has published misleading recommendations. Almost all the suggestions are based on multiplying RAM size by some factor, with common values being 1.2, 1.5 and 2. Now that you understand the role that the paging file plays in defining a system’s commit limit and how processes contribute to the commit charge, you’re well positioned to see how useless such formulas truly are. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx" />

However they do have measured temperature tolerance as part of their technical specification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do all external hard drives require 2 usb ports to operate?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No. The two USB ports are only used in cases where one USB port is not producing enough power for the drive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Can the usb handle running programs, or will this degrade the life span further?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it can, it is not as fast as using an internal drive. Most modern hard drives are designed for this. However much writing to an SSD will use up more writing cycles. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Is writing the only operation that degrades the life span or does reading also affect the life span?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;reading does not effect the life span of a SSD.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive#Comparison_of_SSD_with_Hard_Disk_Drives&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/216253-32-hard-drive-shock-tolerance" />

The major advantage of virtual memory is that it allows more processes to execute concurrently than might otherwise fit in physical memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;While virtual memory has limits that are related to physical memory limits, virtual memory has limits that derive from different sources and that are different depending on the consumer. For example, there are virtual memory limits that apply to individual processes that run applications, the operating system, and for the system as a whole. It's important to remember as you read this that virtual memory, as the name implies, has no direct connection with physical memory. Windows assigning the file cache a certain amount of virtual memory does not dictate how much file data it actually caches in physical memory; it can be any amount from none to more than the amount that's addressable via virtual memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is a very good read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**How Big Should I Make the Paging File?**  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;Perhaps one of the most commonly asked questions related to virtual memory is, how big should I make the paging file? There’s no end of ridiculous advice out on the web and in the newsstand magazines that cover Windows, and even Microsoft has published misleading recommendations. Almost all the suggestions are based on multiplying RAM size by some factor, with common values being 1.2, 1.5 and 2. Now that you understand the role that the paging file plays in defining a system’s commit limit and how processes contribute to the commit charge, you’re well positioned to see how useless such formulas truly are. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;Earlier article: [Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory][2]  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You can see physical memory layout with the [Meminfo][3] tool by **Alex Ionescu**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/07/21/3092070.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.winsiderss.com/tools/meminfo/meminfo.htm" />

But that system is mostly tuned to allocate new memory for a process almost instantly and it does that good. One of the side effect is that it moves everything you have in memory into disk all the time, so when it needs new portion of memory it could just erase this portion of memory and give it right away if it hasn't changed of course. I believe that when you leave you applications running, all of they data got stored into disk and then at some point other applications or caching system start using this memory. So application is left with bare minimum of their data into physical RAM and when you start using it again it has to get everything back from the disk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, I don't think you can do everything with that, it just one of the main properties of the system.

A simple restart will enable Aero again, so it isn't broken completely. Any idea what may cause this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW: I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update:&#xD;&#xA;Should probably mention that this hasn't been an issue before just recently (started happening within the last couple of days).

I use a docking station at work and at home, so I tried to hibernate in the docking station, taking the pc out of the docking station and boot it up again. No problem occurred. I will take note of what happens when I go home today, because then I will hibernate (with the pc in the docking station) here at work, and then resume in the docking station I have at home. I'm suspecting that this might be the problem, but I won't know before I'm at home.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update 3:&#xD;&#xA;Just got home, started my pc in the docking station, and... No problem here... I guess I will have to wait for it to happen again to see if I can figure out something. I will wait until the problem reappears before I test the drivers from laptopvideo2go.com (I don't wanna mess with drivers unless I have to)." />

The executable itself shouldn't know or care what its filename is or what directory its in. However, the executable must be able to find any other files it wants to to open, such as configuration files, data files, shared libraries, etc. Often times the executable will be written such that it expects to find these things in the same directory it is run from or in a sub directory, for example, the exeuctable might expect that if it is run in:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;/foo/baz/bin/executable&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That its config files are in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;/foo/baz/etc/configfile&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As long as you make sure the executable can find any other files it needs to open, you should be able to move it around as needed. Under Linux, the 'strace' command can be useful for this, you can run the exe under strace and see what files its trying to open and them grab them and move them. Also, for shared libraries 'ldd' is useful as it tells you what shared libraries the executable will try to open and which ones it isn't finding." />

That way grub will be given control if said USB device is connected at boot (so Ubuntu will load) and if not the USB phase will pass and the first fixed harddrive with a boot loader will be booted from (presumably loading Windows)." />

With different workgroups, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; takes more time and effort to view all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the computers on the network.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista uses the Public folder,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather than the Shared Documents&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder in Windows XP, to simplify file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sharing.

In the Windows 7 Start Menu, choose `All Programs-&gt;Windows Virtual PC-&gt;Windows XP Mode Applications-&gt;MonitorApp (Windows XP Mode)` (or just search for MonitorApp, of course)&#xD;&#xA; 7. Run MonitorApp normally (in Win7) for the other features you want (machine name, IP, network traffic)&#xD;&#xA; 8.

However, since the CPU is completely shared, the CPU monitor will be accurate for both the guest and the host.&#xD;&#xA; - The XP Mode application comes in a sized-just-right &quot;window&quot; from the XP Desktop, and due to MonitorApp having a transparent background, this means that your XP Desktop's wallpaper/background color will be brought to your Win7 host, which may be a problem if you use a rotating wallpaper.&#xD;&#xA; - If you use the &quot;Right Align&quot; option, the two are not likely to line up. I assume this is due to the differences in display drivers between the host and guest (due to the hardware being virtualized), such that the XPM version is about 20 pixels wider.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the two instances, with the top running locally in Win7 to show machine name/processor/IP/network traffic/uptime and the bottom simply showing CPU (with the XP Desktop set to a black background):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![MonitorApp][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether this is worth the hassle or not, who knows, but it was a good exercise in getting familiar with XP Mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx&#xD;&#xA;[2]: http://www.desktopapps.co.uk/monitorApp.html&#xD;&#xA;[3]: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/Bremen/xpmode.png" />

Examples&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of public network types are public&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Internet access networks such as those&#xD;&#xA;&gt; found in airports, libraries, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; coffee shops.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;in order for XP to see it.  This may not be the best answer, as it sounds like it might defeat some of Vista's built-in security, but it did allow my XP machine to see the newer computer.  I also ended up having to create a username/password on the 'Vista' machine, with permissions to the shared folders that I wanted, that I then used when I connected from the XP machine.  Of course, you can also use Vista's built-in Public folders for file sharing (without having to mess with creating users).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it sounds like you're having the reverse problem?  Where Vista can't see the XP machines?  Make sure all machines belong to the same workgroup name...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Differences in File and Printer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sharing in Windows Vista&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The differences in file and printer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sharing in Windows Vista are the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; following:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The default workgroup name in Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In Windows® XP Home Edition, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; default workgroup name is MSHOME. If&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you upgrade a computer running Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will keep its existing workgroup name.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; However, new computers with Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Vista can have a different workgroup&#xD;&#xA;&gt; name than the other computers on your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; network. With different workgroups, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; takes more time and effort to view all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the computers on the network.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista uses the Public folder,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather than the Shared Documents&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder in Windows XP, to simplify file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sharing. With Public folder sharing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, the public folders and all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the folders within the Public folder&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are automatically shared with the name&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Public. You do not have to configure&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file sharing on separate folders. You&#xD;&#xA;&gt; only have to either move or copy the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file or folder you want to share on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the network to the Public folder.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista by default does not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allow simple file sharing. Access to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shared folders, including the public&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder (if shared), requires a user&#xD;&#xA;&gt; name and password. Simple file sharing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is enabled by default in Windows XP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Home Edition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;--Dubs  =)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

If I use the Start Menu and manually put the computer to sleep, then it does sleep.  The watts used goes down dramatically, fans power down, and the led blinks.  I can wake up in the morning, and the system still isn't alseep.  Something's amiss.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I searched through the Vista power settings, but can't find anything.  It seems odd that the default behavior would be not to sleep.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've looked through my motherboard manual looking for power management options.  I found in the BIOS a setting that lets the processor switch power modes between &quot;G1/G3 without C&quot;, &quot;C&quot;, &quot;G1/G3 and C&quot;, &quot;C without G1/G3&quot;, or disabled.  After educating myself on what these mean, I set it to use both.  But no change in behavior.  I also tried removing all USB devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After trawling the Internet using Google, I haven't come across this specific issue or how to solve it.  So the question becomes, how do I get more information on what the issue is?  Are there tools I can use to gather data on why Vista requires me to nanny?

After some digging, a typical mobile PC (from 2006) can handle 18V to 7.5V at the input either from an AC Adapter or a Battery.

I have to wonder if you're really having more problems at the interface/driver level, or a corrupted partition table or something of that sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the sounds of things you may have exacerbated the problem further with all the thrashing around you've done while trying to fix the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know if we can help with this case ... but don't give up yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the future I'd suggest that you learn the following technique:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you have trouble with a drive under Linux or UNIX you can usually use `dd` to make a bit-image copy of the whole device to some other location.  Find a drive that's at least as large as the one in question and try a command like:  `dd if=$PROBLEMATIC of=$TARGET bs=4M` ... be very careful about the if (input file) and of (output file) directives.  Leave that run.  It's a good idea to run `tail -f /var/log/messages &amp;` (or possible variant as appropriate to your /etc/syslog.conf) ... either do that in the background or in another window.  There are enhanced versions of `dd` which can handle retries and continuing past bad blocks more robustly (`sdd` is a name that comes to mind).  But try just using the stock GNU `dd` command at first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can make such a copy of the whole device (/dev/sdd,  for example) or just the partition (/dev/sdd1).  If you get &quot;short read or similar errors then it suggests that either the device has physical errors preventing reads past certain cylinders or, in the case of a partition, that the partition table is mangled in some way.  You can even make two different `dd` images ... one of each.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the trick: do all your `fsck` and `mount` attempts, and use your various other recovery tools such as TCT (The Coroner's Toolkit) on the copied image!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This minimizes the time spent running the drive (which is possibly degrading at the hardware level as you operate it) and minimizes the impact of failed and possibly misguided recovery attempts.  (In some situations you make one image, then another based on that and always operate on the tertiary image ... depends on how much the data is worth).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally suggest that you run something like `hexdump` or `strings` to read through the image ... just let it scroll past for a long time and look for plain text that looks like it might be fragments of your data.  I have used `grep` to recover useful (textual) data from otherwise completely mangled filesystems.  In case I'm not suggesting it as data recovery heroics ... but as a sanity check.  If you scroll through 10s of megabytes or a few gigabytes of data and don't see any recognizable text ... then you probably have a hopeless case or you've done something very wrong (were  you **really** careful about those if= and of= options?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know if any of this will help you with the current effort.  But learn these tricks now and they will definitely make your next  foray into data recovery much less scary.  (Yes, practice on a healthy system once or twice --- go use a hex editor and try adding your own creative corruption here and there --- to the COPY of course!  Then try fix it).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Oh, and this is a really good time to review your backup and data recovery plans and procedures (or provide better advice to your customer/colleague/client/friend/whatever).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

There are a few workarounds such as installing without a serial key so it thinks you have a fully packaged product and then installing over the top as a upgrade, however as much as many people have had success, I would not recommend it, unless you are sure you know you want to do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am still not in favour of upgrading in place, I am always for new installations, but I know on Vista and 7, it is **a lot** better, and many people have had success, so Install Vista, then install your 7.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I would never upgrade from a Beta, RC, or aything other than RTM (Final Edtion).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up - 1, Yes, you can buy a upgrade and use it... 2, Yes, install Vista (preferred) or use the method above." />

Text="So last night, in attempts to dual-boot Vista alongside Windows 7 RC, I used EASUS Partition Master to attempt to shrink my full-disk partition in order to make room for a Windows 7 partition.

The Vista/Windows7 boot disk cannot identify any windows installations on the hard disk and [GParted Live][1] just identifies the partition as *unknown*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Do I have any options available to me for partition recovery, besides the typical *OMG I Formatted my Drive* data recovery tools.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a way to could tell if the broken partition still has a valid NTFS master file table or something similar that could help me recover?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the life of me, I couldn't forcefully mount the broken partition in Knoppix, so I used the bundled tool [TestDisk][2] and muddled around enough to the point where I could run CHKDSK /R in the recovery console of a Vista Boot disk.

Can you please recommend me what I should be paying attention to when choosing it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is how it's going to be used:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Mostly coding and reading (websites and books). I'd say about 70% of the time.&#xD;&#xA; - Gaming. About 25% of the time.&#xD;&#xA; - Veeeery rarely, watching some films. 5% at most.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here are some of the specs I'd like to hear your advice about:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Pixel pitch: Less is better, I suppose? What is the optimal value? Will the picture look 'grainy' with bigger pitch, or something like that?&#xD;&#xA; - Brightness: Brighter is better? Or will it burn out holes in my brain at some point? :) What is the optimal value?&#xD;&#xA; - Viewing angle: Doesn't matter, since I'm the only one looking at it and I usually sit right in front of it. Or does it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By 'optimal value' I understand some value that gives best results/quality without costing obscene amount of money. I know it is very subjective, but I need some approximate value range to pick from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have any suggestions/recommendations about other specs, I'll be glad to hear them too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_ED: Update_&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far so good. Here's what I have gathered from the answers, comments and a bit on my own:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - DVI is preferable. Analog signal processing has improved greatly in the past few years, so the difference is not that noticeable, but still - DVI doesn't have inherent distortion problems like analog. [(Wiki)][1]&#xD;&#xA; - Response time greater than ~10ms is bad. But you should take that value with a grain of salt, as there is no unified measurement standard and some manufacturers prefer to measure it 'creatively' instead of improving it. [(Resource)][2]&#xD;&#xA; - Contrast ratio is important for reading. Somewhere around 40,000:1 or higher is good. But there is the same problem as with response time - manufacturers choose different 'methods' to measure it. Backlighting may improve contrast ratio greatly. [(Resource)][3]&#xD;&#xA; - Display ratio doesn't mater that much if you can rotate your screen. That will make it really multipurpose. And the bigger display size is, the better (as long as your video card and wallet can handle it).&#xD;&#xA; - I'll consider buying separate mount (like [these][4], for example). It won't limit me to the choice of rotating monitors only, will solve the height adjustability problem and some of my problems with free space. The only drawback - good ones are not cheap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Special thanks to _Col_, _salmonmoose_ and _Turismo_ for their great advice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any other ideas or opinions will be appreciated and interesting ones - at least upvoted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtv/lcdtv-responsetime.shtml&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/understanding-lcd-contrast-ratio-2007032940.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.ergotron.com/tabid/481/Default.aspx?FID=46,47" />

Having worked at a computer repair company for a year, and helped with all sorts of computer problems for the past decade, the most common failures I've seen related to power are failed power supplies and motherboards with damaged electrolytic capacitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From what I understand spikes and surges are definitely harmful, but if you look at most power supplies they can safely convert power from 110 to 240 volts to the various DC voltages your computer requires. Thus most spikes and surges within that range are of little problem. Higher voltage spikes and surges of course can cause problems, but they are relatively uncommon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The big killer of computers is low voltage brownouts. These occur when the power goes out, then comes back on incrementally. Or at times when the power grid is heavily loaded (typical brownout). The power supply will struggle to maintain the load, and cause a variety of power issues downstream.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motherboard's large capacitors are primarily for power/noise filtering and will heat up when the voltage exceeds their rating. The fluid inside will heat up and in mild cases cause the capacitors to expand slightly (you can see the tops of them will bulge slightly) or in more extreme cases leak and leave a brown or yellow residue outside the capacitor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My recommendation is definitely to get a battery backup, or at the very least a line conditioner (something that is designed to compensate for brownouts or switch off if the voltage drops below a threshold). The unit will add extra power usage to your overall computer power usage, due to keeping a battery charged, etc. But it will pay for itself both in protecting equipment in the event of a power problem, and certainly in the course of saving you potential hours of lost work on a project you didn't save before the lights went out." />

You can read how that works [here][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your drive controller doesn't support TRIM, then maybe you can get an update or some beta version of it's firmware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope that helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&amp;p=1&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&amp;p=8&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&amp;p=9&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&amp;p=10&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631&amp;p=13" />

The new change is referred to multi-links, which are similar to &quot;hard links&quot; common to Unix users and potentially available when using NTFS on Windows. Hard links differ from &quot;soft links&quot; (also known as symbolic links), which simply act as placeholders pointing to another file. The Mac OS has long used aliases as a way to create a soft link stand-in for another file or directory. Windows calls soft links &quot;shortcuts.&quot; &#xD;&#xA;[{source}][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The real magic of Time Machine however, is the simplicity of its UI to recover whatever incremental date you want, and to be able to use spotlight to search back in time for your files.

Choose the first menu item, &quot;install ubuntu&quot; and you will enter the text-based installer. It's not too different from the graphical installer - you will be prompted to give your time zone data, language/keyboard settings, etc. &#xD;&#xA;4. When it comes to the part where you need to set up your partitions, you can choose the option &quot;use entire disk with encrypted LVM&quot; and then go with a passphrase. &#xD;&#xA;5. Continue installing, setting user names, hostname, etc.&#xD;&#xA;6. After you install the system and restart, the boot screen will prompt for a passphrase to decrypt.&#xD;&#xA;7. Enter the correct passphrase and your system will boot normally with very little performance cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have been intentionally vague with this answer because I think it's very important to understand exactly what you're aiming for, why, and how you're going to accomplish your goal if you're going to be doing full disk encryption.

Of course, you can also use Vista's built-in Public folders for file sharing (without having to mess with creating users).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it sounds like you're having the reverse problem?  Where Vista can't see the XP machines?  Make sure all machines belong to the same workgroup name...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Differences in File and Printer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sharing in Windows Vista&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The differences in file and printer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sharing in Windows Vista are the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; following:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The default workgroup name in Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In Windows® XP Home Edition, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; default workgroup name is MSHOME. If&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you upgrade a computer running Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will keep its existing workgroup name.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; However, new computers with Windows&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Vista can have a different workgroup&#xD;&#xA;&gt; name than the other computers on your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; network. With different workgroups, it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; takes more time and effort to view all&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the computers on the network.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista uses the Public folder,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; rather than the Shared Documents&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder in Windows XP, to simplify file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sharing. With Public folder sharing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; enabled, the public folders and all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the folders within the Public folder&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are automatically shared with the name&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Public. You do not have to configure&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file sharing on separate folders. You&#xD;&#xA;&gt; only have to either move or copy the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file or folder you want to share on&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the network to the Public folder.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Windows Vista by default does not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; allow simple file sharing. Access to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shared folders, including the public&#xD;&#xA;&gt; folder (if shared), requires a user&#xD;&#xA;&gt; name and password. Simple file sharing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is enabled by default in Windows XP&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Home Edition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;--Dubs  =)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Just Remote Assistance doesn't work.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to get RA working so I can demonstrate how to do things remotely.  With Remote Desktop the person at the other end gets booted off and can't see.

Essentially all we want to do is have this central repository store all of our source code and for each individual developer be able to push and pull to and from that repository as necessary. My understanding of how this works is that each each developer push and pulls to the CLONE URL of the repository (for example: git@github.com:SmallDevTeam/SourceCode). Along with this I am under the impression that each individual developer must have a separate GitHub account and that GitHub identifies each individual developer's commits via their SSH key. Currently, the central repository is set up but contains no SSH Keys. Two of the developers have set up their individual accounts also and have stored their SSH Keys on their accounts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, when each developer commits to the remote repository using TortoiseGit, there is no clear evidence of who has committed what aside from the news feed (which is useless as time passes by). I expected to have some sort of log of who the author of each commit was, however GitHub just states that the Author is the central repository (For Example: The repository is set up at git@github.com:SmallDevTeam/SourceCode, therefore the Author is stated as being [SmallDevTeam]). Am I missing something? Surely this should be the developers account name instead?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Help greatly appreciated!" />

Then, I have configured iptables as described in the paper, ie.:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    iptables -F -t nat  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -F -t mangle  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -P PREROUTING ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -P OUTPUT ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth1 -d 10.0.0.3 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 -d 10.0.0.3 --dport 6000:7000 -j ACCEPT  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j ULOG  &#xD;&#xA;    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j DROP  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, when I try to ping the windows system from within the Linux system, it does not reply, I guess thats perfectly normal, because iptables is blocking ping responce. Same when I try to ping the Linux system from within the Windows. But when I try to access any web page from within the Windows system, I would expect that this action should get logged by iptables. But thing is, I don't see any of that kind of lines in log file (If I am looking in the right place, that is. :) It is at /var/log/messages, isn't it?).   &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;I should note, that this is the first time I'm using linux, so don't expect ANY working knowledge of Linux at all... :) Also, since english is not my mother tongue, feel free to point out any gramatical mistakes... :)  &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;Thanks for any advice." />

Make sure the developer cannot change such configuration, if he ever finds out about this. I know, this is &quot;security through obscurity&quot;, but every bit helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

Text="The biggest thing is the file system. Unfortunately, no matter how much you defrag, there are files that will not and can not be organised correctly. As a result, as the computer gets used more and more these files (like the registry, critical system files) grow larger and more fragmented, which leads to reduced performance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Invalid registry keys are also a big performance problem. Although you've mentioned you cleaned the registry on a regular basis, you have no way to know that what you're doing is actually getting rid of all the invalid keys - unless you want to search through the registry by hand, you're relying on what the author of the tool deems to be invalid. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(That said, registry cleaners like CCleaner are awesome, even if they might miss stuff that I might remove)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, the file system can suffer corruption issues over time to - typically people do a format of some description when they reinstall, which replaces the file system, and typically any corruption that goes along with it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, Windows is like a giant filing cabinet. You can do your best to keep it clean and organized, but eventually you're going to just have to rip your files out and start all over again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** Molly pointed out some fantastic tools in the comments that may help in defragmenting large system files that aren't normally defraggable (is that even a word) by a normal defrag tool. These tools if used properly, could help in prolonging that reformat." />

Text="If this is being used for business and is using BES it might be best to have her Blackberry server admin re-provision the device. There may be a security policy that was corrupted in transfer that is running in the background and causing the memory to fill up. They can also see other information that might help in diagnosing (and the company support can reload the OS for her which is also beneficial).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is being used for business but using BIS (home user) then there are a few steps you can try to help diagnose or repair the trouble yourself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check the detailed logs by holding ALT and keying in succession LGLG and then releasing the ALT key. This will give you some log information that might help you see what is causing the problem and work out a solution from there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also try re-registering the device on the network. Under Options-&gt;Advanced Options-&gt;Host Routing Table you can open the menu and choose &quot;Register Now&quot; to get the updated/default provisioning for the device on the mobile service you are subscribed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another fix option is to sign into your account with the mobile provider and use the Blackberry management to perform a &quot;Send Service Books&quot; function. You may also be able to do this by calling the mobile provider support. This is similar to running the Host Routing Table &quot;Register Now&quot; but sometimes works better depending on the device and service settings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A simple but lengthy fix might be to wipe and reload the OS. You can backup the information and settings on the Blackberry using the Desktop Manager &quot;Backup and Restore&quot; function. Then you can wipe the device from the &quot;Wipe Device&quot; menu option found on the device at the Options-&gt;Security-&gt;General Security screen (where you set the password and lock time out). At this point you can reload the device software provided by your specific mobile provider or use recently released versions (usually updated) from Blackberryforums.com or Crackberry.com.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you need a pure wipe (no OS installed at all) then you'll need to use the JLCommander application which can be found at the [Blackberry FAQ with instructions][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Blackberry FAQ and the Blackberry Forums and Crackberry are an excellent resource for detailed instructions on reloading the OS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully one of these options will correct the issue you are having.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additional Edit: Wiping the device does not wipe the memory card but it's better safe than sorry so best to back it up as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wipe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F" />

Performance metrics in these areas differ greatly for solid-state storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While a modern drive can sustain many tens of Mbytes per second when performing bulk reads and writes, both the operations you describe involve at least two locations on the disk so there is a lot of head movements involved. The latency of head movements has a massive effect on throughput because every time the drive needs to move the heads there is a delay in actually kicking them to the right place, a delay waiting for them to settle, and then a delay waiting for the right part of the disc to spin past. These delays are small on the own (not even 10ns per movement in total on average for most modern drives) but if the drive can push 100Mbyte/sec in full flow 10ms each movement wastes the time of 1Mbyte of data transfer. With a lot happening the drive can easily spend more time moving the heads around than it spends actually reading and writing data (read for a couple of 10s of ms, move head, read from there for a bit, move head, write for a few ms, move head...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you are defragmenting the drive the utility spends most of its time reading from one place on the disk and writing to another, a small number of blocks at a time. Extracting content from a par protected file set is even worse as there are at least two files being read (a source file and one or more parity files) as well as the output file being written to. Even just a simple copy operation on a large file has the effect. All this is excluding the head movements needed to keep directory structures and free-space maps up-to-date as blocks are moved and/or files extended. Running a VM can be similarly demanding depending on what the VM is doing at the time (and the VM will reduce the RAM available on the host machine to use as cache/buffers which may worsen the situation, and any write operation in the VM can be much more demanding than the same operation on the host directly especially if you use &quot;growable&quot; virtual drives).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With all this going on, if a GUI application needs to ask for even a little I/O it may get queued behind all the other stuff that is going on. Unless the application is fully multi-threaded this is likely to cause it to &quot;block&quot; waiting for the I/O operation to complete meaning it is not in a position to response to any messages (like &quot;the user clicked you here&quot;) in the Windows event queue until it gets its turn. The more going on at once, the worse it will get, and you will not notice it in the &quot;CPU busy&quot; readings because the CPU _isn't_ busy - it is sat waiting for IO operations to complete most of the time in these circumstances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have two or more drives you can greatly reduce the effect this has on you by spreading the load over the drives. If you VM is on a separate drive from your primary OS they won't compete for I/O servicing when the VM is busy while the host is defragmenting the system partition. Also, extracting an archive from one drive and writing the output to another will be noticeably faster than extracting it to the same drive because the read operation is not directly competing with the write operation for head positioning on the one drive." />

Here is how I do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Manually create &quot;faces&quot; for all the people who are important to you. Create at least 10 samples of each person. Go through the normal tagging process, but as you go, faces will undoubtedly recommend incorrect matches. This is to be expected. As opposed to double clicking and rejecting the incorrect possible match, control-click it and select &quot;name&quot;. If you know who this person is, you can apply their pre-existing &quot;faces&quot; name at this point. Faces will even automatically create a new faces entry if this person does not exist in the database. This is just slightly more work than rejecting the incorrect match, but by naming it, you take it off the list of unknown matches, which lowers the number of outstanding faces to match, adds more face samples to the newly added person's confirmed recognitions list and culls the database on-the-fly. In my book, this equals tagging untagged photos as you go.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This does not guarantee that you will eventually name every person in every picture in iPhoto, but it does work extremely well -- since you know certain pictures have not come up as possible matches yet... and if you see a shot or a person you recognize -- even if they are a proposed match for someone else, use the opportunity to name them immediately and correctly -- which makes the whole recognition process work smoother -- one face at a time.

Can you connect to a LAN?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you've figured out &quot;what's missing&quot;, **open up the case and check the motherboard / expansion cards**.  Check out the video card, **write down the part number on the biggest chip on the board**, or **find the board's part number silkscreened onto the card** (it should be big too).  Do the same for all other stuff that's missing.

I also use a remote machine - it happens to be a Solaris 10 SPARC machine, about 1800 miles away - that can be called xclient.subdom2.example.com for the purposes of this question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For better or worse - mostly worse - I use xhost +xclient.subdom2.example.com on the laptop to allow anyone who uses the remote machine to display their X client on my machine. Fortunately, I'm the only person who uses the Solaris machine on a regular basis and the corporate security is stringent enough that I can live with the security risks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the XP laptop, I then remotely connect to the X client machine, and set environment variable DISPLAY=xplaptop.subdom1.example.com:0.0 and can run X client programs on the remote machine and see the display happily, if a little slowly on occasion, on the XP laptop. (Depending on the length of the DHCP name assigned to the laptop, I've occasionally had to resort to an IPv4 address instead of the machine's FQDN.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also have an Apple MacBook Pro, and I want to replicate the functionality of the XP laptop on it. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to work out what magic incantation is needed to get the X11 server to run satisfactorily on it. It appears that simply clicking on the X11 server in /Applications/Utilities is not sufficient. Running the xhost command again (with DISPLAY=macpro.subdom1.example.com:0.0) doesn't seem to do the trick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can you suggest what the incantations needed are? Or suggest pointers to where the answer is spelled out in words of one or two syllables?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also - and very much in the bonus question category - how readily and well does the X11 server react to changes in networking (between corporate direct wired DHCP connection and wireless Airport at home with connection to corporate via a VPN)? Is it a 'restart in the new environment' issue, or will it manage to detect the changes automatically?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would also consider other ways of achieving about the same result - such as VNC or Mac equivalents - if they are easier to set up.

Though Snow Leopard doesn't seem to enable dual GPUs or on-the-fly GPU switching for machines using the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M chipset—a limitation carried over from Leopard—it does appear that the OS can use both as OpenCL resources simultaneously. So even if you have the 9600M GT enabled on your MacBook Pro, if OpenCL code is encountered in an application, Snow Leopard can send that code to be processed by the 16 GPU cores sitting pretty much dormant in the 9400M. The converse is not true, though—when running a MacBook Pro with just the 9400M enabled, the 9600M GT is shut down entirely to save power, and can't be used as an OpenCL resource.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;tl;dr - It works as I hoped if you're using the 9600M GT, but if you're using the 9400M the 9600M GT is completely disabled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/08/opencl-gets-tires-kicked-run-around-the-block.ars" />

Each of those devices are the things that need drivers.  Sometimes the names are very descriptive: &quot;Realtek 8139 Ethernet&quot;.  Some are less descriptive:  &quot;Ethernet adapter&quot;, &quot;AC97 Sound Device&quot;.  Sometimes they are not descriptive: &quot;Unknown Device.&quot;  Nevertheless, write them all down. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, I'd **check to see &quot;what's missing&quot; in the Device Manager list** - is there a sound card present?  is there a video card present?  is there a serial port present?  It might help here to check out a normal working computer.  Also, think about what isn't working.  Can you hear music if you play it in Windows Media Player?  Are 3D accelerated games working?  Can you connect to a LAN? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you've figured out &quot;what's missing&quot;, **open up the case and check the motherboard / expansion cards**.  Check out the video card, **write down the part number on the biggest chip on the board**, or **find the board's part number silkscreened onto the card** (it should be big too).  Do the same for all other stuff that's missing.  Do this for &quot;larger&quot; chips on the motherboard too, as some devices are on the motherboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Go online and **Google for the drivers** by using the part numbers you found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install the drivers**.  Check Device Manager as you go to see which devices with yellow exclamation points remain.

This involves the recipient to have a public key published somewhere - this can be used to encrypt emails. That key then has a secret pair - a private key that can be used to decrypt the emails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For mail encryption to be practical, the email client would have to be able to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. When sending email, automatically fetch the public key of the recipient to encrypt the messages.&#xD;&#xA;2. When receiving email, fetch the user's private key from a designated server, preferably this would be whoever is providing the email service (usually the ISP).&#xD;&#xA;3. When setting up the account, automatically create and store the private key.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the bigger problem here is the infrastructure. For this to happen, there would have to be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. A widely used, standard way of publising a public key associated with an email address (and this method would have to be secured via certificate system so that a third party coudn't mess with it too easily).&#xD;&#xA;2. A widely used, standard way of automatically creating a private key for an email address and storing it on a remote server accessible by a standard way. Preferably this server would be part of a normal service from the email provider. This server's address would then be entered as a normal procedure on the account settings of the email client, just as incoming and outgoing email servers are entered nowdays, after which the client could handle all the hassle with keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another problem is that *most* email clients would have to be able to handle the decryption, and *most* email providers would have to provide the key service, for the system to be effective. Encryption needs full support at both ends of the communication. But I don't see this as that big of an issue. If an easy and practical standard appears on *some* clients and servers, they could advetise &quot;we support the secure email standard&quot;, and others would probably follow suit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also the user would have to be notified about whether a public key is available for the recipient. A good approach would be when adding a recipint, showing a common secure symbol, like the padlock or the blue glow used in SSL/TLS connections with web browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, an alternate private key server, or even just a key file, could be configured to the email client so that the more paranoid user could store his own keys wherever he wants. For the rest of us, the email provider could still read the emails as they store the private key - but this would still make communications very secure. After all, security is often about who we can trust.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Honestly, I really don't know why this hasn't happened yet. It's not that complicated. Get on with it already!" />

If you surf the hardware support sites, you will realize that the occurrence of GPU meltdown far exceeds CPU meltdowns.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One advantage GPU has over CPU is that they usually have a larger area to play with in terms of heat dissipation, at the same time the GPU chip is not constrained to a die as small as a CPU, thus enabling a GPU chip to have better tolerance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the same time, CPU thermal shutdown is usually set conservatively - most BIOSes by default shut down the CPU when it hits 70 degrees Celsius. Unless you manually override the BIOS settings, it is not often a CPU gets pushed beyonds its limits (thus having less reports, and perceived lower failure tolerance). However, GPU overclocking is extremely common, and many situations arises where people push GPUs to extreme temps - thus resulting in a perception that GPUs have higher temperature tolerances than CPUs. Not true - I have seen CPUs go up to 100 degrees Celsius and still remains stable." />

I also have an Asus (*not Acer*) EEE laptop, but just because it's easy to use when I'm away from home, since it's extremely small. &#xD;&#xA;I did once buy an Acer netbook for less than EUR 300 but unfortunately I seem to have messed up the SSD disk. Will fix that if I have time, but it didn't make me very happy about the Acer brand. &#xD;&#xA;HP took over Compaq, which was a good computer brand in the past. Current systems are a bit of a mixture of HP and Compaq technologies and designs. And both companies have a long history in designing good computer hardware.&#xD;&#xA;Acer is also a big company though with a long history. They took over Packard Bell and the technology behind PB. So, looking at the history of both companies, they're just old and very experienced with the technology.&#xD;&#xA;My personal experience is that HP, formerly Compaq, creates good hardware, although they tend to make it harder to add additional hardware from other companies, thus forcing you to expand your systems with Compaq-approved components only. But that was 7 years ago. My Acer experience is limited to a Netbook where I reformatted the hard disk to run Windows instead of Linux. It crashed a few months later and I haven't had time to restore it. (Instead, I just bought the EEE, which was almost free combined with a mobile Internet subscription.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, two very experienced companies, both with their own reputations. So judging these computers based on just their brand doesn't matter much. They both have had good and bad moments. So just look at the hardware instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Acer you mentioned is slightly slower and uses an Intel graphics card. That card is okay, but the NVidea GeForce is considered (by me) to be superior. Thus, my advise would be the HP Pavillion, unless it's way more expensive than the Acer. But it depends a bit on the additional hardware components of both laptops. And perhaps the warranty and it's conditions.&#xD;&#xA;However, you might want to examine a few other brands too." />

The downsides are mostly trivial. **Malware infection causes a lot more trouble than an AntiVirus software**, and you should expect that you *will* get infected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you are pretty sure what you are doing, and really, really don't want the performance hit (for example on an old system), do get an AV but turn off real time scanning, or even automatic startup. You'll have to always remember do the manual scans for any source of threat - that's would be pretty much *any* foreign data. It's also a good idea to do a manual scan on the whole system once in a while, just in case something has managed to sneak through.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you actually do know enough about computers to be safe without AV, but just don't want to bother analyzing for each and every Windows installer or such whether you can trust the source, the distributor, whether the connection was secure or not, if there was a hash check, if that could have been compromized or not, etc. - just get an AV software.

You WILL stuff it full of more drives over the next few years.&#xD;&#xA; - Run RAID-1 for peace of mind, AND have a regular backup strategy with offsite backups.&#xD;&#xA; - You want a stable OS with quality releases with long term support so you're not constantly chasing a moving target.  To me that means Debian/Stable or an Ubuntu LTS release. I know nothing about Arch Linux though.&#xD;&#xA; - Don't overestimate how much CPU you need and insist on some monster CPU, most of the time the system will be waiting for network or disk.  (But given the low-end spec of the SheevaPlug you mention I guess you've already figured that out).  One of the nicest home server setups I've seen used a low power mini-ITX board (looking somewhat lost inside a full-tower case) with an 8-port SATA controller in it's single PCI slot. &#xD;&#xA; - The WoL isn't that important, you'll just end up with the box on all the time anyway as soon as you discover you want it to automatically monitor your webcams, say.&#xD;&#xA; - Instead of WOL, once you get multiple disks worry more about how you can spin some of them down (drive SMART settings).  Basically this just means storing the frequently accessed stuff on a different drive to the rarely accessed stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" />

As both of your mirrored disk are built in the same system, it is likely they both will be damaged at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think a better &lt;b&gt;solution&lt;/b&gt; would be to buy an external harddisk which you keep disconnected, and use specialized backup software (I use [Second Copy](http://www.centered.com/)) to update the backup every once in a while, keeping multiple versions of your files.&#xD;&#xA;" />

I recently ran a cellphone through the washing machine (it was so dirty), and the 2GB microSD works just fine in my new phone (eventually got the washed phone working too, but it was a good excuse to upgrade).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rob Galbraith, who maintains an amazing [website][1] on CompactFlash and SecureDigital cards, says&#xD;&#xA;&gt;*Individual flash memory cells have a limited lifespan. That's the bad news. The good news is that their lifespan is usually measured in the many, many thousands of erase/write cycles, and that card controllers utilize an algorithm that balances the wear across the entire card's cells. CompactFlash and SD/SDHC cards are designed to automatically and transparently map out memory cells that go bad, or in some cases when they reach a predefined limit.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Write cycles are important, but MTBF (mean time between failures) is often 1M-2M hours or more, factoring in advances such as wear leveling, bad-block marking and management, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Tips*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Do not defrag a memory card. This consumes write/erase cycles and shortens the MTBF.&#xD;&#xA;* Use FAT32 instead of a journaling file system (like NTFS), which will write more often.&#xD;&#xA;* SD cards are rated to hold data at something like 10 years sitting idle. I recall reading (not sure where) about re-energizing cards by occasionally inserting into a reader.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Anecdotes*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 2004 BBC article **[Digital memories survive extremes][2]** covers an interesting study by Digital Camera Shopper on the durability of memory cards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;*The memory cards in most cameras are virtually indestructible, found Digital Camera Shopper magazine. Five memory card formats survived being boiled, trampled, washed and dunked in coffee or cola.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[In 2004, there was an incident][3]** (covered happily in a [SanDisk press release][4] at the time) where a photographer's compact flash card survived a bridge explosion where the camera gear was set up so close to the blast that it was destroyed, but the CF card survived. Other incidents like plane crashes are hyped by SanDisk so much that, admittedly, i get nervous using other brands. That said, it's not always easy to get data from a damaged card. [**An atmospheric research balloon crashed**][5] in the Pacific Ocean and was recovered. One SD card was read easily but another required intervention from SanDisk, but was eventually read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Bill Biggart's photos from 9/11][6]** survived the collapse of the second tower on a CF microdrive card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Recovery**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you suspect a card may be getting flakey, or if you run into trouble reading a card, immediately create a backup of everything on the card. There are low-level recovery tools like [**TestDisk and PhotoRec**][7] that come in handy for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3939333.stm&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-138063.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.compactflash.org/pr/040823.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-143637.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0111/biggart_intro.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk" />

My computer has much more RAM then Windows XP Professional can see, so I'm stuck with 3gb of physical memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the 3gb wall is hit, then the computer will move to use the pagefile.  Luckily, software exists to allow you to create a RAMdisk out of the RAM which is inaccessable to the operating system, in 32-bit environments!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[SuperSpeed][1] has a program called RamDisk which will allow you to do this.  Another option is the [Vsuite Ramdisk][2] software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not specifically advertising any software, but those are a few I've come across which allow you to utilize some of the RAM outside of the addressable range of a 32-bit operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it's not nearly as good as having the OS directly access the RAM, having a RAM-based pagefile is much better than a hard-drive based one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One More Reason&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;One more reason that you can use a RAMdisk is for photo/video editing (e.g. with the Adobe Creative Suite).  Most Adobe programs can use a &quot;scratchfile&quot; for temporary storage (similar to a pagefile).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Placing the scratchfile on a RAMdisk would really help to increase the speed of video/photo editing, especially when you're nearing the RAM limits of the operating system (or program-defined maximums).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.romexsoftware.com/main/support/vsuite-online/how-to-use-4g-ram.html" />

My computer has much more RAM then Windows XP Professional can see, so I'm stuck with 3gb of physical memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the 3gb wall is hit, then the computer will move to use the pagefile.  Luckily, software exists to allow you to create a RAMdisk out of the RAM which is inaccessable to the operating system, in 32-bit environments!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[SuperSpeed][1] has a program called RamDisk which will allow you to do this.  Another option is the [Vsuite Ramdisk][2] software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not specifically advertising any software, but those are a few I've come across which allow you to utilize some of the RAM outside of the addressable range of a 32-bit operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it's not nearly as good as having the OS directly access the RAM, having a RAM-based pagefile is much better than a hard-drive based one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Scratchfiles - One More Reason (Applies To 64-bit As Well)&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;One more reason that you can use a RAMdisk is for photo/video editing (e.g. with the Adobe Creative Suite).  Most Adobe programs can use a &quot;scratchfile&quot; for temporary storage (similar to a pagefile).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Placing the scratchfile on a RAMdisk would really help to increase the speed of video/photo editing, especially when you're nearing the RAM limits of the operating system (or program-defined maximums).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.romexsoftware.com/main/support/vsuite-online/how-to-use-4g-ram.html" />

Since CPU/mb is out, we have the HD and the graphics card.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personaly, I am going to say the hard drive to anything newer.  Mainly because your graphics card is average, but it runs on the PCI bus and there isn't too many money conscious upgrade options for that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So look at hard drive upgrade options (7200rpm+).  Not only will you get more space, but you will get better access times and overall system responsiveness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is the PCI bus your only option? No agp?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Like mentioned, any money into a system this old is borderline a waste.  You might have to get a PATA hard drive if that is the only connection option.

There are two reasons for this.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Firstly the GX270 is roughly 5 years old now, which in computer terms is generations.&#xD;&#xA;Secondly there was a significant problem with the motherboard in the GX270's blowing its capacitors in sequence, resulting in a slow and painful degredation of processing function.&#xD;&#xA;To be honest, it suprised me how many they could lose and still retain the ability to function. If you are interested, each of the capacitors had an indented cross on the top of them, and they these tended to get pushed 'out' as the internals burst.&#xD;&#xA;I rambled all this as backgrond for why your PC may be running slower than you expect, and since you know what to look for (burst capacitors), you can. If this is a problem, a replacement motherboard will bring you back upto speed, but sadly this will not be enough for Fallout3/The witcher, let alone the host of other goodes due soon(tm) like Diablo3 or Starcraft2 (sorry, I'm a blizz fanboy).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;I'm afraid there is not really alot you are able to upgrade on the gx270 to run modern/2009 games on a windows platform. The CPU is single core technology (you can get quad core now, basically 1 chip doing 4 times the work yours is now with more cache), the memory is DDR1(400Mhz) when DDR3(800Mhz to 1600Mhz) is prevelant and graphics cards are using GDDR4.&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;At a squeeze you could buy a new harddrive using solid state technology, and probably an interface card for it to fit into your motherboard. This would increase the access time of games fetching data from the harddrive, but that would be hundreds of pounds (UK) that would be better put towards a new PC/upto date motherboard to fit an upto date CPU, memory, harddrive and graphics card." />

It's too simple when it needs to be complex, and too complex when it needs to be simple.  Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The column view insists on generating (mostly worthless) preview images for movies, which means lots of beachballs when navigating around a folder with movies.  Even worse if it's a network drive.  (Turns out this was actually due to Quicktime libraries, which were rewritten in 10.6.  Now browsing movies over network drive doesn't require reading in as much data to show preview, and no more beachballs or lag in browsing).&#xD;&#xA; * It leaves little .DS_Store files everywhere, which really irritates other users on network drives.  (This can be prevented -- see [this osxdaily hint][1] for details, thanks jasonh)&#xD;&#xA; * It can be hard to navigate around a file hierarchy using just the keyboard, as sometimes Finder doesn't let you easily go back up a directory after making a folder with the left arrow key.  You can get back up by pressing right + left... so weird.&#xD;&#xA; * Although they share the same interface and appearance, the file open/save dialog and the finder have different shortcuts.  For example, command+d in file open/save goes to your desktop, but command+d in finder duplicates an item. (thx @jtbandes for pointing out that shift+command+d is actually the correct shortcut which works in both places.  Still, why bother having an extra shortcut which is also different in the big finder?)&#xD;&#xA; * Per-folder view options -- this is *very* confusing for new users.&#xD;&#xA; * When making zipfiles, it makes a bizarre structure which is hidden to other Mac users but visible to everybody else in the computing world.&#xD;&#xA; * No support for RAR?  Geez.&#xD;&#xA; * Quicklook plugins are few and far between, and many of them are also buggy.  Lots of basic file types aren't shown at all, such as XML files.  (10.6 now at least will do quicklook on XML files, but not other plain-text files it doesn't know about, such as *.properties)&#xD;&#xA; * Finder never seems to remember how big you want your windows to be.  I've found it's better just to learn to live with the default size, as it's a losing battle to try to adjust it to your liking.&#xD;&#xA; * You can't restore items in the trash to their previous locations, you can only drag them somewhere else. (Fixed in 10.6 by pressing command+backspace on any item in the trash)&#xD;&#xA; * Enter should open files, not rename them.  Sorry long-time mac users, windows got it right here.  Look at any recent convert (or older person, like my mother), and you inevitably find of files they've accidentally renamed to &quot;asdf&quot; and can't figure out how to change back, since &quot;rename&quot; isn't anywhere in the menu.&#xD;&#xA; * Not a spotlight fan?  Tough.  You can't get rid of the spotlight results in any panels, even if they are empty. (Fixed in 10.6)&#xD;&#xA; * Undo often forgets the last action, especially if you do something, and then switch applications.&#xD;&#xA; * Some file types just don't remember to open with the program you want.  I've pretty much given up trying to get my Mac to open XML files in gVim, not Dashcode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm probably going to think of tons of other annoyances later... so expect some edits to this post. ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://osxdaily.com/2007/05/29/stop-ds_store-file-creation-on-network-connections/" />

For a 64-bit machine, I'd probably look at at least 8Gig. You want the entire compiler, program, source files, etc to be able to fit into the RAM comfortably enough that none of it will ever have to be thrown out to make room for something else once loaded in. This is where you splurge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that, look at the CPU, but it is lower priority. Don't bother w/ more than 2 cores, unless your build tools support parallel building. (EDIT: This advice is for everyone else. For you, with iTunes and whatnot running, better have at least a third core). In that case, go ahead and get however many you can still afford.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, you can look at disk speed. If you did your job with the RAM above, this isn't as important, but it still all has to be loaded in from disk once." />

I don't currently see a lot of advantage in going quad, though this may change with time. I'd go for a 64 bit OS, just to get the support for a larger address space. As much RAM as you can cram in, especially if you're going to be working with C++... all those oodles of included header files means the compiler needs all the room to breathe it can get. I certainly wouldn't go below 4G, and 8G would be better. Using super-fast RAM doesn't gain you much - Tom's Hardware had an article on this sometime ago, if memory serves (pardon the pun).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But most important of all is screen space. We all run multiple monitors at work, and I run three at work and three at home. You don't need to splurge to get this capability - even the low end NVidia quadras can cope with four screens, and all those four have a DVI connector. Those DVIs are important: once you get to 1600x1200 screens, the limited bandwidth of a VGA connection really starts to show. And you are going to need those larger screens, because Visual Studio *eats* pixels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You won't be playing games with this kind of adapter, but having all those pixels really helps, especially if you intend to run multiple IDEs.

My computer has much more RAM then Windows XP Professional can see, so I'm stuck with 3gb of physical memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the 3gb wall is hit, then the computer will move to use the pagefile.  Luckily, software exists to allow you to create a RAMdisk out of the RAM which is inaccessable to the operating system, in 32-bit environments!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[SuperSpeed][1] has a program called RamDisk which will allow you to do this.  Another option is the [Vsuite Ramdisk][2] software (they both slightly differ - see the features list to see which one meets your needs).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not specifically advertising any software, but those are a few I've come across which allow you to utilize some of the RAM outside of the addressable range of a 32-bit operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While it's not nearly as good as having the OS directly access the RAM, having a RAM-based pagefile is much better than a hard-drive based one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Scratchfiles - One More Reason (Applies To 64-bit As Well)&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;One more reason that you can use a RAMdisk is for photo/video editing (e.g. with the Adobe Creative Suite).  Most Adobe programs can use a &quot;scratchfile&quot; for temporary storage (similar to a pagefile).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Placing the scratchfile on a RAMdisk would really help to increase the speed of video/photo editing, especially when you're nearing the RAM limits of the operating system (or program-defined maximums).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/ramdisk.php&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.romexsoftware.com/main/support/vsuite-online/how-to-use-4g-ram.html" />

Automatic mode walks the provided URL and retrieves everything it can reach from there. Since that could easily involve retrieving the entire Web, it has a control on the number of hops it is allowed to get away from the original page. The ad-hoc mode lets you browse from page to page, and as you click links it retrieves the page, adds it to the growing PDF document, and rewrites the links to refer to the PDF file instead of the web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Acrobat's PDF creation is generally the best of show, except for this case.

With automatic thumbnail generation set, explorer completely locks up my system when accessing the folder. By inspecting the Resource Monitor, I was able to see that explorer was trying to read the TIFF file at normal priority. Disk IO was thus locking up the system. Also, the memory consumption of explorer grew huge (more than available RAM), so the system was also trying to access the pagefile at the same time it was trying to read the TIFF file. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I had to force a shutdown to get back to my system. I turned off the thumbnail setting and I was now able to look inside the folder. But as soon as I single clicked on the file, explorer tried to read the entire file and locked up the system.

It sounds like it would be a useful tool for diagnosing Mac problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*The Apple Service Diagnostic application is designed to run both EFI and Mac OS X tests from an external USB hard drive. Apple Service Diagnostic (EFI) runs low-level tests of the hardware directly and does not require Mac OS X, while Apple Service Diagnostic (OS) uses Mac OS X to run tests.&#xD;&#xA;Booting and Using the Apple Service Diagnostic Application&#xD;&#xA;- Before using Apple Service Diagnostic, disconnect any Ethernet network, USB, and audio cables.&#xD;&#xA;- With the USB hard drive containing ASD 3S123 plugged into a USB port, restart the computer and hold down the option key as the computer boots up into the Startup Manager. To run ASD (EFI) select the &quot;ASD EFI 3S123&quot; drive icon and press return or select it with a mouse click. To run ASD (OS) select the &quot;ASD OS 3S123&quot; drive icon and press return or select it with a mouse click. ASD (EFI) will load in 20-30 seconds; ASD (OS) will load in 2-3 minutes.&#xD;&#xA;- After running ASD (OS) or ASD (EFI), press the Restart button to restart the computer back into the normal startup volume, or hold down the option key to get back to the Startup Manager.&#xD;&#xA;ASD is no longer delivered as an image to be restored onto a DVD.
