i've setup a winNT and 2k domain controller, but never knew how to configure them as such properly... (if you read my post carefully i *did* say "non domain") I find with only a few computers and users that it doesn't make much sense to dedicate a machine for domain controlling.. but perhaps...

I noticed this about a week ago... if you type in an invlalid domain you get to verisign's "site finder" page. Anyone else notice this? http://www.this-is-not-a-site.com http://www.this-also-aint-no-freakin-site.com This is aparently related to verisign taking up the wildcard on the .com and...

hey man, if you can't trust the employees... that's one thing I see wrong with alot of emplyees. They have the mentality of "what can your company do for me?" and not "Here's what I can do for your company."

does anyone realize that if we breed for inteligence then we'll just end up raising the average intelligence... there will still be reletively stupid people and the "bar" will have to be rasied... this would keep happenning forever... I like the population based theory.. I don't think we need...

i've used edonkey for wuite awhile and find that as merc has it's the best place to find high quality videos. Audio is still a pain. The problem I have with the network is that it's often very slow compared to fastrack. If you want a video, expect it to take a couple of days to a week of being...

if im correct, I believe the thumbs.db file is only created when one opens the folder in thumbnail view (either when saving/opening a file or when viewing in explorer/my computer). couple thing on my mind.. paint uses the bmp format by default and might be creating a huge file that's taking a...

virtualdub works well once you get used to cutting/pasting in it... It's free and deson't require that you recompress the video to cut/paste intoa final compilation.

The deny actions simply take precidence over the allow actions Tea.. so if the "everyone" group (everyone in winNT is an alias to the users group and not anonymous by default) is denied then you are denying all users... this takes precidence over the allow. I'm surprised you were not aware of...

there's a reason it's called a browser. What you want is an editor.. frontpage can do what you want I believe. CuteFTP w/ Cute HTML used to be somewhat of what you wanted...

yes, but you can check from any computer word processing package or not...

I know some of us wish we had a good spell check while typing on forums.. well... http://www.spellcheck.net/ Ima try this out here and see how it works

doh, that should not be 50.... that should be 5+1

as for a safe number.. i'd say 5 without a hot spare.. with a hot spare i see no problem for 10. If you need more redundancy get RAID 10 or 50 with spares.

that would be pretty bad for a 3D OS.....

That sounds like it would be terribly slow at writes... 2 sets of parity information instead of a single set... knowing all the read/writes that are normally done with raid5 in order to calculate and store parity info this would be bad. Well... I'm guessing that it's actually the same parity...

can't you put that in a cron job or scheduled task? once every day is enough for me.. esp considering the speed of completing a FAH unit.

i use NTFS compression on my backup/bulk storage drive. it atleast effectively eliminates the excess space used by slack, most things on the drive are not compressable as they are already compressed archives/files.

one downside to zip files seems to be their inability to get over 2GB using some zip rograms... the windows ME/XP zip integration comes to mind as well as some of the free zip programs i've tried.. I've never tried to make a >2GB zip archive using pkzip or winzip.

like I said before, more RAM doesn't usually make a game faster.. just like system RAM, you'll notice a point where it doesn't make things run any faster.. That point depends on the game and the level(or in this instance the dekstop and its theme along with what programs are open). 64MB is still...

i used my Hercules Fortissimo II sound card in 2k3, I didn't use it much, but it worked fine. It has worked well for me in XP as well. Don't know if it is specifically SMP compatible or not.

i used to use diskeeper 7 (the 1st version) and previous diskeeper versions becasue it was faster than windows 2k/XP defrag and let me defrag multiple drives simultaneously. But lately I've just used the built in XP defragger because I think it does a better overall job and is probably less...

UPS batteries only last 2 years?

i dont think most people know what video RAM even does... they just see more and think it's automatically better. More RAM typically does not make a card faster. It only helps if your card is out of RAM and has to keep fetching textures from the system RAM, or ::shudder:: the hard drive. The...

This is one of the BIG annoyances i noticed when iw ent from 2k to XP.. I couldnt manage hardly ANY of my gigabytes of movie files... it seems sometimes explorer hangs on certain files while zips through others.. 2k doesn't even check for this info and I had lightnening quick manipulation of all...

In every version of MMC I've ran the volume control controlled the mixer on the soundcard(vid card doesn't matter), perhaps you have the MMC software set to use the wrong input for the sound card or you have the wrong input source selected in the mixer. (Or there is a conflicting device typing...

really? i never had a responsiveness problem with NT 4.0 SP4 or below on a 486 66MHz CPU... as long as you don't run out of RAM you're fine (I think pre SP6 and with no defragger the system use less than 24MB on boot).

All it would require is an IR transmitter and a little more smarts... unfortunately the top of most cell phones is prime realstate for antennas, and headset jacks... perhaps they can squeeze a tiny IR transmitter in there somwehere.

I dont see this as being much different from an integrated wifi card and then a software NAT package like ICS or sygate. I wouldn't doubt if the "Asus" software is actually microsoft or some other companies softwre. I think integrating wireless is a good step forward. I am a little surprised...

Merc, have you thought of BNC? 5xBNC cables easily convert to standard HD15 VGA connectors without any modification of the video signal. They're readily available froma number of online sources and have great signal range and integrety. You can get BNC cables to meet a variety of video and...

At the grocery stores and stores like3 walmart/k-mart we've had self checkout machines for years.. they seem to use either NT4.x or win98. I see the win98 ones crash from time to time.

Tea, I through for sure you;d enjoy poking the LCD and making it create all those neat colors!

After shipping, handling, and this that and the other it was $140-$40 mail in rebate= $100 hopefully. Not a bad price even without the rebate, but I was expecting a 2-3 yr warranty.

i enjoyed reading that fushigi

i've had probs on 2k (and I think even on XP) where after loading some of the IE service packs and fixes IE loads like crap.. sounds like Mercs situation. Before the patches = instant. After patches = crap. Even moz loads faster.

i think the title is kdb3 .. it's a common CD burner and I didn't have problems with it... i was backing up home directories and din't have problems... i would think that some of the files like trash and hidden files would have had the same name but been in different users' folders. Don't...

just bought a maxtor Diamond Max plus 9 160GB 8MB cache retail drive.. can any body guess the warranty? 3? 2? 1? One! less than one stinking year from the time i got it. Maybe I should have just stuck with OEM and got the 3 year warranty, eh?

oh yeah, i usually use the krusteaz brand pancake mix... good for backpacking as well as the kitchen. cleanup invloves the rubbermade bowl i used to mix the batter, one spatula, and one frying pan in addition to the plate and fork. I usually grease the pan using a few drops of vegetable oil...

I find that if I buy milk in a half gallon it runs out too fast, I have no problem buying the gallon size containers between me and my girlfriend we usually go through it before it gets old. Pancakes, waffles, sweedish pancakes and crepes are all very similar. I usually use a mix for...

i wish i had some honey nut cheerios... I'm getting tired of making pancakes every morning... and cocoa dino bites lose their novelty rather fast.

sorry for the belated congratulations. but.. congratulations Jojo.

i've heard of 6-8 second boots in XP.. I believe my boot time was around 8 seconds from complete off using my SB51G... my suspend to RAM time(as close to off as it gets) back to desktop is about 4 seconds on my shuttle boxes. Most of that is just the hard drive spin up...

we usaed to name boxes after muppet characters, now we name them after national parks/forests.

anybody else notice that upon installation of the drivers you recieve blue screens on boot, or is it just my computer? saphire radeon9000 DVI/VGA/TV shuttle SS51G, Celeron 2.0GHz, 512MB PC2700, winXP SP1, directX9.0a

maybe I can ask them. I believe the old machine was a single p4 with a decent amount of RAM, and 8MB cache ATA disks. This is definately an upgrade. The larger images on my site load instantly for me... so I'm pleased.

i got this on wednesday

who is mourn and jmp?

let's be sure to use the tools section if we find a good product for this problem.

what, they made it more like outlook express?

Na, I had to google to get it right, but i did remember the last part. If you have a problem. If no one else can help. And if you can find them, maybe you can hire.... The A-Team. and I thought it was more of a "Ba nananA NanA NanAnannanA"
