Thanks Time, you are a guru!

The Netgear 814, from Amazon IIRC.

Ok, so I have a bunch of directories, all at the same level, and they all have a directory called Output in them. I need to delete the Output folders (or at least delete their contents). I tried del /s Output but it didn't do jackshit from the root dir. I'm sure I'm missing something here...

Before you change all your config around, have you tried the latest Cisco client? It's 4.0.5 I believe. Undoubtedly they fixed issues with SP2 firewall.

Easiest solution would prob be getting a Netgear router for I believe $10 after rebate, and forgetting the horrors of ICS forever. But having the latest client would still be a good idea.

Sounds like they fixed the issue with the latest update to the Cisco VPN client software, Im sure you can get a copy from your work's sys admin?

That's the PATA version.

"Dead Pixels Policy: Replacement or Refund for 8 or more DEAD PIXELS ONLY!" No thanks. I'm fond of Dell's now 21 day no worries return period for LCDs.

Well the risks can be minimised by closing the server when you don't want to use.

Thanks. Registry deletions were a success. Found a bunch of spyware as well. That's the last time we loan out machines. I could have left NAV 8.0 installed, but all the options were locked, I needed to turn off the background scanning crap. Pradeep 1, Symancrap 0.

Wish me luck Link EDIT: MODded the link, JoJo

So one of our machines has turned into a sloth. No doubt by the customer who thoughtfully installed NAV Corp 8.0. Now one would think a simple Add/Remove programs click would rid us of this curse on humanity. However, it demands a password. Which we don't have. Any backdoors for nirvana? Thanks...

You got a good price for those, especially since they could be had for $339 from Dell after dellf coupon :)

The problem is that even if you go for a single CPU now, the cost of a decent dual mobo is significant. Even if you can then get a matching second CPU down the track for a fraction of the original price, it still may be cheaper to just get a fast cpu+mobo now, and then a new cpu+mobo when...

Definitely try something other than Nero. I believe you would have a copy of Veritas RecordNow DX from Sony?

Well went out on opening day yesterday. All the talk was about what the freaking nutcase in Wisconsin had done the day before: http://courttv.com/news/2004/1123/hunterdefense_ap.html Death penalty would be good, tho I'm guessing WI doesn't have it. Sat in a treestand for the opening hours...

AFAIK all the dual setups require registered DDR, if not ECC as well.

Seagate 200GB 8MB cache for $69 after $50 MIR from Outpost.com http://www.outpost.com/entry?site=op:mfe111904&sku=4008252

I'm sure they will be fine. We use a horrific 28-200mm zoom on ours. We have a minimum focus distance limitation tho, around 36"

I have to agree regarding CPU speed, I guess with Intel running out of huff and puff, AMD is now the one that has less pressure to quickly ramp speeds. We will prob see a plateau for a while, at least till they both get their multi-core CPUs out. DD, do you think <4GB in a desktop class system...

Just forget about upgrading the PC and get yourself a 1DsMKII. We got one in yesterday and it is fantastic. The resolving power is mindboggling, and the transfer speed over firewire is thankfully much improved over the slothy Mk1. Biggest problem is finding a lens that doesn't look like shite...

Well I got all excited and was recalling my Access skillz, when the CEO announced that we were going to outsource the whole lot. Oh well. Apparently it's all going to be web-integrated so we can check status whilst sunning ourselves on a tropical island. At least my spec sheet will be useful for...

Just a month or two. Still 359 payments to go :)

Interesting. Tho they were selling the Precision 470 on special at that spec without monitor for close to $1000 last week. Still not bad.

I ordered myself one of these. I've convinced work that we need 20" panels for more productivity, now it's a matter of choosing between the 4:3 2001FP or the 16:10 2005.

I just ordered an Action Pack sub for work, so MS Access it will be. Thanks all. *Damn Excel and it's 32 field form limit*

Actually right now it's not so hot, wait till it hits the $300-350 mark with the P4. Last week they had free upgrade to 1GB ram, 200 instant off etc.

Dell Small Business->Servers->PowerEdge->SC420. If you can live with integrated video you can't beat the price. And there's PCI-Express if you want to add your own vid card.

What C said.

Was that opening day? It's always good to take the pressure off and get one early. Can't wait for Monday (hope there's some snow on the ground).

Thanks Tim. I guess I'll use Access.

So here is my task. I need to create an event tracking database. Actually there will be two databases. Data input will be via a form. I need flexibility in terms of producing reports with any field possible. Can I just use the Excel Template Wizard for the task, or is there something more...

3 inches last week, of course that was the night I was meant to drive down to Ithaca. It was snowing hard enough that I could just barely make out my I-90 exit. Given that where I was going I had never been, and the signs were starting to get covered, I decided to wait till the morning. Plus I...

With reduced vertical blanking interval ticked WUXGA should be OK at 60Hz. You would only have to have dual link for the 30" Apple monitor, and the extreme IBM 22" which requires a total of 3 links I believe.

But on a brighter note I added three Nocona 2.8s for "burn-in" testing :)

Any news on why memory utilisation has gone up on certain units (100MB+) when the "dl large units" option hasn't been selected? I had to take the client off a bunch of machines due to this.

I've used chkdsk with success on a 1GB Microdrive, perhaps it will work with flash RAM too?

In the Southern Zone of NY, rifles are illegal for hunting deer. So shotguns with slugs are the only real choice. Buckshot is illegal. Most states have veinson donation programs, you drop the deer off, they will process it and it goes to feed homeless people. Venison is a very healthy meat. I...

Wow, you were one town away from where I live... I live not far off RT 2 (MA-s, or whatever it's called). Did anyone pronounce Leominster for you, or where you already familiar with the word (lemon-ster)? First time I saw the town name, I thought it was leo - minister. I was promptly...

LOL, the drivers here must be the worst. I thought New Yorkers were bad but MA has the cut-off champs! And this against a 1-ton cargo van!MA-2 wasn't a pretty picture this morning. Love how they call roundabouts "rotaries". Didn't actually get into Boston city, I was up in Ipswich and...

So anyway I stopped off at a Thruway diner in MA tonight to grab a bite to eat, it was really strange. Plenty of people inside, but it was so quiet. Spooky. I can only imagine that they just can't take it that Kerry lost. I was expecting a buzz from the Red Sox winning. Anyway, just my...

Thought you'd moved to Canada sechs? Regular season starts on 22nd November in NY (a Monday), I've taken the day off. Using a Mossberg 835 with slug barrel and 3.5" copper sabots. I'm still wondering whether to put a scope on. I was going to go with bow too, but I couldn't get into any...

I believe DVD-RAM has recently been EOL'd development wise at 5x speed. But at $250 it's not a bad little device. Personally for me it's a toss up between spending $500 for a D-VHS deck, or waiting perhaps a couple of years for affordable BluRay recorders. This is for HD archiving.

This time he'll have the popular vote and the collage. We'll prob still have to hear another 4 years of how Kerry/the Dems were robbed. White evangelical Christians saved the day :) I'm off to Boston for work tomorrow, perhaps a nice Republican flag to put on the van....

Damn socialists: Australia John Kerry by 79%

I had a PSU pop once, I took it out and something was rattling inside. Managed to shake black bits of plastic out, cap was a goner.

Is that one of those "SecureConnect" things? Sounds like it doesn't like to let go.

Recently I've been having probs where every time I right-click a file Windows Explorer crashes. At first I thought a virus, but it turns out it's actually Dr.Divx and SP2 interacting in a sad way. Fortunately an easy fix is at hand. Uninstall the dirty Doc. Or you can fiddle in the reg.

Is it any worse than clicking on some dodgy email that purports to be from your bank, and then fishes the username/password? Also I'm wondering how the cookie would let people in even after you have logged in from somewhere else. That does need to be fixed.
