    Mouse Acceleration is driving me crazy

    You can try this Terminal: defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1 defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.trackpad.scaling -1 It defaults the speed to something incredibly slow I believe though, and there is no granular way to adjust that speed after, but you...

    Xbox 360 from 2005 that is suffering from RRoD. Can it be saved?

    Microsoft should be able to cover you still. My Xbox 360 was bought in 2006ish and it died mid 2010. I decided to see if any warranty applied, and while their website says the following: They should be repair it for free. They did for mine, I just filled in the information got an RMA...

    Bye bye F@H, hello BOINC

    After folding 1,302,576 points (Sad...but I never had a lot of machines, or a lot of processing power. Contributed what I could!), I have decided to stop folding and moved to BOINC as well. The array of different projects I can contribute there really interested me, and I have happily...

    CompTIA Net+

    Going to have to agree with Quikstrumental. Sounds like you didn't take the time to grasp the concepts and information. I am studying for Net+ and VCP (which is pretty helpful due to the synergy between concepts). Which book are you studying off of? I am using the Network+ Exam Cram which...

    SSIS completing but not importing data?

    Seen it happen with poorly written SSIS packages at my last job is why. Our packages would pass the Oracle credentials, and if locked -- could not query the table, thus return 0 rows, but would continue through and manipulate 0 rows through the rest of the package. It would state completed...

    SSIS completing but not importing data?
