Hi All! Been about 8 years... I made the mistake of wandering into the Politics section all those years ago and I think I lost my faith in humanity. It hasn't been restored, but I have no idea how to solve this issue and I remember this site having TONS of smart/helpful people. So I'm...

2001 A Space Odyssey for stupid people. Seriously one of the most disappointing, most poorly constructed pieces of garbage I've seen in a long long time. I just spoiled everything that happened in this "thing" on my Facebook page, hopefully this will cause my friends to not see it. I feel I...

See thread title. I've never dealt with this before, and I don't even know why it would be used. But this client uses it, and now I have to figure out what is wrong. My company makes banking software. The install I'm working on this week is fairly straight forward from what I can tell (I'm...

Anyone have any experience with the staffing agencies you find all over dice.com and such? I had one get in touch with me, they offered a good salary but it's only a year contract so that is a bit of a concern, I've never worked on contract before. I asked if their are any benefits and if they...

I answered an ad on Craigslist, some guy wanting a tech to do some quick repair work. The ad said part time, so I figured it would be a good way to get some extra cash by putting in a few hours on nights/weekends. Turns out it'll be a one time thing, he just has a handful of computers with a...

I have a 4+ year old Samsung DLP. It's served me well this whole time, I haven't had to do any repairs, haven't even had to change the bulb. A few months ago I noticed a smudge on the screen. It won't wipe off, so I figured it had to be on the inside somewhere, I just don't know where. Since I...

Ok first off. I know there are forums dedicated to this, I just am too stupid to understand them. Everytime I read a thread I have to google half the words in the post to figure out what they are talking about, i.e SBF, locked bootloader, Flash ROM and so on. So I'm hoping someone can just post...

I've been fighting with this thing all day and parts of last week. I just don't know what to do. It's a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 box. It's fully updated and has been working fine for a long long long time. The only issue I know with it is a failed hard drive in one of the bays. Its...

Our wireless is controlled via gpo and some crazy certificate system. I'm not sure how it all works but it does. Once you get logged in, it will show you all of our private networks and you're are allowed to connect without putting in any user or password info, provided you or your computer are...

OMG WHAT IS THE F-ING DEAL WITH PRINTERS? Seriously, they are the worst thing to support. First off for some reason I can't delete printers that were published via GPO. Even if the GPO doesn't exist anymore. Even if the printers themselves don't exist anymore. No matter who is logged in. There...

There is a long back story here that I won't get into. Also I don't have the option to live abroad so I had to include the in the US qualifier. That being said, if you could up and move someplace, where would it be? I know there are many qualifiers here (cost, distance, employment opportunities...

I need to capture an image of a lab machine. Problem is that all of the kids who use the machines have profile folders that I can't remove. There are hundreds of folders in c:\users\%username% and I need them gone. If this was XP and I wanted to do this, I'd simply delete them, at a later time...

I know the Galaxy is an Android device, but what about that crazy water effect interface it has. Is that customized for just the Galaxy or can any Droid run it? I love to track it down and put it on my X. It is so cool!

Kindle or Nook? Or something else? Don't say iPad. I don't have the cash to pay the Apple tax. My experience is limited, I used a Kindle for about a month and I enjoyed it. The one I used was a 2nd generation model but it was quick and I was shocked at how crisp the type was. The current...

I don't read comics. So I can't comment on how faithful this is. That being said, I liked it for what it was. It has some goofy action, some great jokes and an AMAZING cast. Seriously, AMAZING. That's really what holds it all together. Without Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Malkovich and on and...

I swear I've posted a thread like this before. But I can't find it so here is another one. My situation. Every few years I get bored and I start looking at what else is out there. I'm not looking too hard, I really like my job after all. But I still look. Today I found something I'm interested...

Right up there with Inception. Seriously, it is fantastic all the way around. David Fincher is one of the best directors working today, Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg is incredible. Everyone is incredible. Even Justin Timberlake as Shawn Parker. One quick note, my nerd rage spiked when they...

I need a Windows 7 unattend.xml file. Just a raw one, I'll make the changes myself. I know WAIK can make one but I don't have WAIK installed here and the 2 gig download will take FOREVER. If someone has it installed, could you generate an answerfile and post it here? Provided it doesn't violate...

Windows Server 2003 R2, every GPO works and I can edit all but one of them. This one "corrupt" (I don't know what else to call it) gpo gives me the following error. I did some research and sent this to some coworkers. All of the advice I've found/received hasn't worked for me. I tired...

And soon! We have 4 old as dirt generic switches. They represent a major bottleneck in the network. I've been given the go ahead to get quotes. Everyone I've talked to said HP provides the best bang for the buck with their procurve series. So the first few quotes come in. Lowest price procurve...
