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:

Thanks for the clarification, certainly has potential to improve efficiencies in the right environment. (I only say it that way, as often it's the politics and procedures that kills it, not the idea). This has been one that has always surprised me when I see how some dev shops/departments are...

Finally got some time to read it and I'm not sure what your proposed architecture offers over discreet microservices? (eg as time savings? reduced maintenance? etc. Any hard numbers)? In some ways, I'm not too sure what you are trying to solve?

And why does that make you sad?

Glad one of the suggestions worked!

Better spec tablets I've noticed this as well... I suspect it's a number of factors: Entry level $99 devices are sold a lot more than high-end devices. BOM cost when you get above a certain point doesn't make sense. OEMs would have sell a certain number of tablets to be viable and justify the...

Yep, there sure are... The simple matter is that climate is always changing (eg natural cycle between Ice Ages and Warmer periods, due to many factors including distance from Sun, Sun output and solar radiation, etc). Based on historical data, there is no doubt that climate changes over time...

We're in the process of upgrading our LAN at work to 10GbE. We're using Intel adapters, and have been doing a lot of tuning with Jumbo Frames, etc to maximise performance... (Main 10GbE LAN is between the ESXi servers, with rest of the LAN serviced by 1Gb copper). But at the basic level, yes...

I know a little OT for those of us here, but Ars Technica has an article on DYI NAS: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/the-ins-and-outs-of-planning-and-building-your-own-home-nas/ I know a lot of people are happy with the HP Microservers as small home NASs as well...

If Chrome isn't available for your device, then Firefox Mobile or Opera will be it... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser&hl=en

Something else to try - simply rename the .ost to .pst, and try to import the file. (PST and OST internally both use the same data structures to store mail, so it might work. Similar in a way to WMV and WMA, as they both use the same file format).

I can confirm it does work for Win7 Pro keys. My Win10 installation running in a VM was installed clean from the 1511 media, and activated fine with a Win7 Pro key.

Re-reading the post history, mubs is using pre-canned installations from a 3rd party (osboxes.org), rather than installing the OS himself in a VM. It's possible the VMware tools which are being installed are not compatible with the VMWare version he is using? Likewise. The only exception was...

I've got WIn10 running in a VM only for Visual Studio... (ensure my personal projects build cleanly on Windows), and for the very rare remote assistance session with my parents. My wife's and kids laptops are all Win7Pro.

Previous generation kit. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, just obsoleted by a newer revision... So distributors generally clear the old stuff out at or just below cost to get rid of it. Many years ago, I picked up a HP wx4600 workstation (Q9400, 4GB RAM, 146GB 15K SCSI drive, nVidia Quadro)...

Whilst many many people who are technology minded certainly understand your paranoia (and many also have the same feelings), I don't think the average person (who has already handed over everything to Facebook, Google, Apple, etc) really cares about either point. Therefore, as the majority don't...

What are you wanting to do? Simple file format conversion? Apply filters/transforms/etc to the files? What OS/Platform?

That's the exact same board I have in my main home system. Excellent board. The only downside I've noticed with ASRock boards in general, is that the DIMM slots are very tight which has lead to DIMMs not being seated correctly, and POST error reporting is very lackluster, but otherwise very...

My thoughts as well. (Haven't dealt with the RD550, but none of the other 1RU servers I've dealt with are in form quiet). Mind you, even a F/A-18E Super Hornet at full throttle/after burner can register a 35db reading with enough distance between the aircraft and recording device...

If you're a MS dedicated environment, (AD, MS Office, Exchange), the Sharepoint is hard to look past due to it's integration with AD and Office. IIRC, Sharepoint itself is free, provides wiki functionality, forums, file repositories, etc, however it's search functionality is sh*t without...

Rereading the last few posts, the AV industry really has a lot to answer for... Like producing a vaccine that causes some other horrible condition that you are left wondering was the vaccine really worth it?

Came across another one today... Have found a patch was released just around end of Dec that would cause issues with the ntfs.sys driver (typically a BSOD on shutdown, the cause was reported being in ntfs.sys). MS have redacted the original patch, and re-released it. The only thing in common...

MS are extending the spread of the "Get Windows 10" application to domain connected systems now. However, they are also releasing GPOs to assist in removing the pop-up notification for those systems, if the sysadmins don't wish to have end users notified... (which is a good things, as it's the...

I'm actually a little surprised that Intel don't test internally with Prime95 or a similar application?

Thanks for the input guys. We've decided to go with a few Kingston V300's in USB3 enclosures. (AU$85 for a 120GB V300 + enclosure).

@time, thanks for references. I've tested a few of the keys that we tried previously, and most top out at 40-50MB/s sequential read/write, yet when I eventually found the specs of some of the certified usb keys, most are way above 200MB/s sequential read/write... I'll pass on the idea to throw...

The main issue is the current set of keys we have, all tend to have really sluggish moments when starting applications and when any IO is involved. None of our drives are on the official list...

Hi Guys, We've started to play with Windows to Go at work (both Win8 and Win10), and the area we are having issues with, is finding decent 64GB/128GB USB keys that perform well in this role. Has anyone used a set of keys that they are happy with in this role?

Has anyone else had problems with recent Windows 7 updates borking the installation? I've had 4 installations (2 in VMs, and 2 laptops - both w/AMD APUs) boot directly to the System Recovery console and attempt to repair the system. The SRT log shows the cause to be bad patches and/or patch...

Protocase will custom make according to CAD plans... http://www.protocase.com/ We used them at work to build a prototype enclosure for an embedded system, and very happy with the quality. Oh, and they also build these: http://www.45drives.com/

I do agree the bezel is a little large, however size wise, I'm personally more interested in sub 24" displays (so I can two of them), or the ultra-wide displays (21:9 ratio) if above 27"... What is interesting about it, it's a 10bit** panel (most are either 8bit or 6bit) for US$1300... US$800...

Anandtech review of HP's new Z27q 5K monitor... http://www.anandtech.com/show/9870/hp-z27q-monitor-review-aiming-for-more-pixels

During write, it's our own forensic acquisition software generating the load (so is dependent on the source device and contents as well), but when the source is an SSD, the SSDs read performance easily outstrips the write performance of the Toshiba... All our software uses O_DIRECT for cache...

We use some of the 2TB Toshiba's (DT01ACA200) at work, and we also see ~170-180MB/s sustained off them. (Reads 170-180MB/s, writes 160-170MB/s, with both slowing as we get towards the end of the platter)... Block size = 64K, queue depth approx ~128 (avgrq-sz), file size is 500GB-1TB+. (OS =...

Once I realised Jar Jar was a Sith Lord, ep 1-3 started to make more sense...

We tried it (an earlier version) in the office and was very impressed with it, we did however have a lot of work to do it get it integrated with AD. But reading the current documents (v8.2) the issues we had with AD integration are mostly solved now... The only area which Sharepoint was better...

Waiting until closer to Christmas when the attendance has started to decline a bit...

IIRC, MS worked closely with the NSA on securing Windows during the development of Vista and also with 7... Therefore most of the requirements for a high security configuration can be meat with the use of GPOs and don't requirement much of anything else... NSA guidelines for OSes are publicly...

Hi Guys, Haven't really commented on this, but please be aware that any patch MS provides will break sh*t, as this flaw isn't some coding issue, but rather a policy/procedure issue in regards to how MS decided to use kerberos. Kerberos Golden Tickets have been known about for a while now, just...

More often than you would think (especially if you consider cars as well**). Basically the engineers work out how much stress on the gears there are during the complete rev range for each gear, determine the materials required and then reduce the amount of materials (in order to reduce cost) but...
