Are you looking at one Group Policy setting or a Resultant set of policies? Are you looking at the RSoP for a Domain User account or an Administrator account?

Did you get the newer screen on your T400, Tannin? How do you like it?

Mine are all the older one. But still, how often can you say you have a computer part that has appreciated in value?

Those are the ones I have, too. Now, I just looked, and for the R-series and the T60 but not the T61 or Tx00, DVI-D is not supported regardless of graphics chip. The newer guys in the T-series, it works just fine. I'm guessing it's the difference between a GMA945 and a GMA3100.

She knows about it. I don't know how well she likes me, exactly, but at least enough to come visit some guy she's just talked on the phone and emailed for a year and a half. She's over six feet tall. And I met her through another forum site, really because of a couple of goofy things that...

The fact that the image is not loading right now is all the indication of quality I need to see for a WD Passport.

The T6x docking station has DVI regardless; my notebooks are all Intel graphics and I've used DVI with them. I thought it was a universal product for Thinkpads. Does digital out just not work with some models?

I am escorting an attractive, young and freakishly tall woman to a Cubs game.

27MB/sec is basically the real world throughput limit for USB2.0. If you can get anything over 25MB/sec you're basically set.

The good news is that it will be Friday, during the day. I hardly ever drive on the North side, but the game will probably finish someplace in the 4PM - 5PM range, and I'm thinking I'm thinking that trains or car are going to save basically nothing as far as traffic misery. I'm not sure what to...

Great. Do you have any idea where I can park when I'm up there? Last time I went to a Cubs game I was about 11 years old and I think my dad paid like $25 to park in a vacant lot like 6 blocks from the stadium. This is a female type person who might very well be more clueless about this stuff...

I got a, I don't know if "date" is the right word, but a female-type person is driving over 1,000 miles to visit me next month. And go to a Cubs game. Anyway, whatever that is, I got one today.

A good starting point would be to throw out any drives that don't support Readyboost.

The infections on my neck are quite painful and have implications for my ability to turn my head (and therefore to drive) and lay my head on a pillow. I couldn't ignore them even if I wanted to. The fact that they continue to appear on my neck, where they're very close to lymph nodes and some...

Hey, I've got four 80GB X25-Ms if anyone wants to make a deal...

We use Xerox solid ink printers to print our manuals in-house. A typical manual might be 100 - 250 pages long and has color on every page. I don't have the exact paper use right here in front of me but our costs for consumables are staggering. I've also advocated for PDF and/or an additional...

The GP just wanted me out of his office. No question about it. I went and got some tea tree oil, which is supposedly a natural antibacterial, and poured the whole bottle in with my body wash, and I spent $40 at a laundromat washing all my clothes and bedding again. At this point I'd just like...

I did some math and figured out that my company would save about 3% annually on ink if we printed our manuals in Garamond rather than (sob) Comic Sans and almost 36% if we quit printing everything in color. My company spends more for ink than it does on any individual's salary, so this is not...

PowerDVD 8 and 9 have an option for that.

Around here I think nonpayment might be a big problem.

... and yet I still watch...

I don't have real insurance (catastrophic, yes, but not anything that would actually help), which means I have to find doctors who are willing to see uninsured patients (not all of them will), willing to see new patients, and willing to see patients in a timely fashion. So I called the...

My ex is telling me I need to see an infectious disease specialist. The doctor I saw said a dermatologist. My ex's concern is how close my wounds have been to lymph nodes and now to my carotid artery and says I need to do something Real Soon Now. I'm really feeling like I'm getting a mixed...

Make sure you grab drivers from Acer's site. In the past I've found that even Acer can't tell what hardware is in any particular model of their notebook.

I can connect to nine open APs right now from my bedroom. I do, in fact, swipe bandwidth from my neighbors late at night. Makes the torrent seeding go faster.

RAID is not a backup technology. It is a data integrity and availability technology.

I think he's still on dialup.

The new code is 15x faster. I would say that is rather significant.

WPA with TKIP was, until today, probably the default security setup most reasonably smart folks had on their wireless routers. Now it looks like you'll need to be switching to WPA2 or WPA/AES instead.

That is why I continue to use software RAID even on cards that can do it in hardware. I like my data to be recoverable if necessary.

It's a process of elimination. And on some level, some of that hardware you probably don't REALLY care about, like the modem. Basically, on a notebook like that, you need drivers for all of the following: Display Adapters, Wired Networking, Wireless Networking, Audio + the Microsoft UAA driver...

Those Perc5 controllers really are a bargain, but if you're using the hardware RAID function, you probably should buy a second one. If that controller fails your data is hosed.

It would probably work as long as the routers were configured to use different networks (192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.1.1/24 would be good), but every current data plan from a mobile provider (i.e. unless you're grandfathered in on an old plan) caps at either 200MB or 5GB a month. So you'd have...

The sound driver on Gateway's site works for both XP and Vista.

Many recent Gateway notebooks are actually made by Compal. Very often you'll find a Compal model number on the bottom of the notebook. Finding out the Compal model should give you a good way to look up specific hardware. Actually the Gateway web site does a pretty decent job of narrowing down...

Sony notebooks tend to be poorly made and have... idiosyncratic software setups, even weirder than the way Toshiba typically mangles Windows. I'm not even applying my usual Sony bias here. On the other hand, the weight is about right for the specs; she's not looking at some boat anchor desktop...

MRSA is antibiotic resistant staph. There's a much smaller than normal range of antibiotics available that treat it. Staph, once you have it, is very hard to get rid of. In a lot of cases, there are asymptomatic carriers who have some staph bacteria that lives in their nose. My nose was my...

No clue.

Today I was officially diagnosed with my third topical MRSA infection in three months. Lucky me.

What's wrong with GNOME, again?

The only stuff I can find on Ebay is PCI-X or 64bit PCI, which unfortunately doesn't work on anything I have just sitting around my apartment.

I just bought one of these for a customer. Hopefully it'll just sit in a corner with 4TB of disks in it and by a nice file and backup server for them. If WHS is less than perfect I'm sure it'll do just as well as a Linux/Samba server. I really like the form factor, though.

I just bought a Canon SX100IS to replace my now-dead Casio Exlim. As of yet I have no comment on it as a camera, except that it works a great deal better than the camera in my phone.

Interestingly, this batch of drives was not packaged in half a shipping case as I expected it to be. Instead, each drive was placed inside a small cardboard box (the size Newegg uses for RAM and cables and stuff, like 7"x1"x4") that was packed with bubble wrap surrounding the plastic clamshell...

I've not had a problem with recent Seagate notebook drives. I've got 6 of the 500GB 7200.4s doing various things and other than a slightly annoying clicking sound they make when they start up, they've been good.

Why wouldn't you be running data recovery on a server that in all probability has more CPUs, RAM and a better disk subsystem than your laptop in the first place?

First thing is, yes, that Syba Expresscard thing absolutely sucks. I bought one and it seems to disconnect from the system every so often. I get an assload of Error 57 events and I have to pull the card out to make the drive work again. I'm hoping my next Thinkpad just has an eSATA port. Every...

I loaded the .wim files off the DVD onto a Windows Deployment Server earlier in the week. ImageX for custom .wim files probably works fine, too. Otherwise there's always sysprep.

The whole point is to eliminate copper. If I get actual 1000Mbit, I'm looking at roughly 3x the throughput for network transfers vs. cat6. On the other hand, since I don't have any 64 bit PCI slots anyplace, it looks like cheap NICs are out of the question right now.

I've recently come into possession of an 8 port 1000baseSX switch and some cables. Has anyone ever in the history of time seen either 32 bit PCI or any sort of PCIe NICs that support some form of 1000baseSX connectivity? Cheapest things I can find are TrendNet 1x PCIe NICs for $150 a pop.
