Please be aware that Cortana and most of the telemetry can still be turned off in the Enterprise and Education editions of Windows 10. This only affects the Home/Professional editions. My guess, some of these moves may be attempt to get the SMB sector (which largely used Pro edn's) to migrate...

Well, the Australian Federal 2016 election has come and gone, with the Liberal/National Coalition remaining in power (by the thinnest of margins). So our NBN will continued to be implemented with 2nd rate technology, public education, social services and health systems* will have funding either...

Easy, it moves the issue to become someone else's problem. ergo reduce support costs, therefore increase profits.

UEFI will interact with the drives during POST, typically reading the partition table (MBR/GPT) and looking for EFI boot volumes. Couple of things that aren't mentioned, but I'll assume that you have done them: 1. Reflashed the BIOS to ensure a clean state. 2. Connected only one of the drives...

What'll be interesting in a few years time when people need to start working out which "Windows 10" they have, especially when it comes to things like drivers, OS extensions (DirectX, etc) as the core of the OS is updated. Or is this an admission by MS that the kernel itself is done and we'll...

And today's forecast for Brisbane, Queensland, Australia is a nice sunny 29C day.... (84.2F). A lot of people have headed to the local beaches to cool off... FYI, It's the middle of freakin winter and we should be having an expected temp of 21-23C (70-74F).

"Nvidia Titan X" has been announced: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10510/nvidia-announces-nvidia-titan-x-video-card-1200-available-august-2nd Note to be confused with the already released "GTX Titan X"

As per the listing details: 3x discs, cover and case of the movie Minions... I would expect to get what's listed on BB website as listed.

@Coug, sorry to hear about that, truly a tragic thing to happen.

It's down to the firmware, the firmware on SAS drives are typically geared to providing better random IO (and will typically have very mature TCQ implementations with larger buffers, and the OS drivers tend to be well tested as well), wheres as firmware on SATA drives are geared towards more...

Unfortunately all those models (as priced locally) all range between AU$899 and AU$1299. The Stylus 1s retails for ~AU$600. My apologies, I should have clarified, by class, I meant in both features and price range, for my case mid range compacts with zoom (AU$400-AU$650).

Thanks LM and SD. Just make an interesting point, all the other cameras in the same class and price category as the Stylus 1 (that had optical zoom greater than 5x) all use 1/2.3" sensors, whereas the Stylus 1 uses a 1/1.7" sensor. The only two cameras to not use a 1/2.3" (in this class) are...

To follow up on my own post, went to the local camera store today and looked the different models and options. Due to shortages in stock due to the issues in Japan related to the recent earth quakes (2 of the main sensor plants used by Sony, etc were damaged severely), the available range...

Dead thread revival Hi All, Our old camera (Fuji S6500fd) is starting to die (sensor has started to degrade), and we are looking for a new camera. The wife has said no to an entry level DSLR or bridge camera, she wants it to fit in her pocket and be easy to carry. I'm primarily looking at the...

Hopefully for quite a while yet, as PCIe and PCI use a very similar command protocol. (PCIe command protocol is a superset of PCI).

Just correcting myself. The last Intel chipset to natively support PCI off the ICH was the Q77. The Intel 80-series dropped native support for PCI slots on the ICH, of which motherboard manufactures adopted using PCIe-PCI bridges to provide PCI slots on the motherboard. The most common...

Also, if building your own desktops, there are still heaps of options if happy with 4th gen Intel Core. (Z97 still supports regular PCI slots off the ICH).

Some workstations from HP/Dell/Lenovo still have a single PCI slot, eg the Lenovo P500, Dell Precision 3000 (Full Tower), etc... However, most consumer and business orientated desktops I've seen lack PCI slots... Best to contact your preferred supplier/vendor and ask them directly.

My wife can't vomit either, (due to gastric reconstruction to ease chronic reflux).

Just like to add, the reason is primarily related to the CSG (Customer Service Guarantee) with voice services... From a lot of reading, the government have failed to update the CSG and Telecommunications Act when it revised the NBN rollout 3 yeas ago, effectively killing the CSG on voice...

Depending on how big the library is, I know our local council library runs EOS by SirsiDynix, and has online check, ebook checkout support (relies on Adobe POS), web catalogue including reservations, self check-out stations (with 3M hardware), support for multiple sites, etc. But there are...

Migrate the Win8 installation to the SSD, then upgrade. The rational, is that if the upgrade fails, you have a copy of the original win8 installation to fall back to. Licensing, MS are happy either way.

Thank you.

I'm not too sure on that, as time goes on, even if AMD goes (and I'll be disappointed if that happens), I couldn't see Intel being held as a monopoly in the market. ARM CPUs are everywhere (I haven't seen latest figures, but I'm sure ARM based CPUs outnumber Intel designs shipped when you...

If the router supports being used as an AP only, then yes it's not hard to do at all. (Simple setup the router to work as an AP, and have it connect to the other wireless device). I assume you're looking at one of these to use as the gateway device...

In the help system in Office 2010 (should be similar on '07), on the Help Window, in the bottom right corner you should see: Connected to Office Online (or similar). Click on that, and a context menu should appear that lets you "Show content only from this Computer". That will put the help...

I think it's related to Google being a US corporation, working on the basis of US laws. While using Google infrastructure in the US, as a US citizen/corporation, things are fairly easy in regards to both federal and state laws. But once you remove one of the entities from being on US soil...

For SMB2 connections, essentially yes. (SMB3 was added in Win8/Win2012, which added significant performance improvements).

I've seen a few of those screen shots, and some of them are very suspect. (Do the math: 10GbE, minus ethernet frame overhead, TCP/IP overheads, SMB/CIFS packet overhead...) However, since neither Samba or the CIFS/SMB driver in illumos have SMB3 support, I would only expect you would only get...

We noticed the same thing at work with Windows 7 to Windows 2012/Samba4/OpenIndiana, we would only get 150-200MB/s over SMB for a single transfer, despite all our tests showing 9.5Gbps+ available with iperf. But what we noticed that for multiple transfers over SMB would could get near 8Gbps...

Back before my wife and I met, when she was asked for a phone number, she would give out the phone number for Pizza Hut home delivery... So many guys obviously didn't recognise the number... But at least I'm not getting dick pics yet... (...

I'm cooking Teriyaki Chicken for dinner tonight... And people who register on Tinder with the wrong phone number, there is a special place in hell for you. (FYI, someone is giving out my mobile number to random guys).

EFS and Bitlocker are both included with Windows 7, but only on certain editions. (Both are Microsoft developed technologies). FYI, EFS was introduced with Windows 2000 and Bitlocker with Vista.

And here's another one... http://www.infoworld.com/article/3042155/microsoft-windows/windows-patch-kb-3139929-when-a-security-update-is-not-a-security-update.html Yep, sure I've ignored GWX, and even installed the GWX Control Panel to get rid of it, and now they want to push ads! :smack:
