up until now, my firm has been joining computers to the domain, which creates the computer object for you. we'd like to change this to pre-creating the computer object so the object can be moved into the correct security group before the computer joins the domain. i tried to create the...

ok, so i've done something really stupid - i've broken the golden rule that 'raid is not a backup'. i have an 8 drive raid5 volume on an ubuntu server running evms (the raid5 is a legacy volume, not an evms volume, but i use evms for management). the os drive (not one of the 8 drives) failed...

i'm trying to read the contents of a directory into an array, but i'm not sure how to deal with subdirectories that have spaces. the code i've got is like this: for dir in `ls /vmstorage/` do list[count]=$dir echo "$count: $dir" count=$((count+1)) done if the subdirectory has...

i have 2 smartups 1400 and the battery has failed in one of them. i was thinking of replacing the factory battery with sealed gel cell car batteries (so the gas isn't vented into my room) to gain additional capacity. it occurred to me that i might be able to hook the batteries (it takes 2, in...

i'm trying to find a good retractable network cable that will work well in a business environment. my company has tried out a few different ones, but find that they break easily or don't work well at gigabit speeds. the ones that are not twisted pair will have trouble with interference at high...

technically i'm looking for one of each, but i'd accept good deals on a few (especially the laptop memory). thanks

nothing special with the file server. lousy graphics card since the machine never gets used directly. looking for a bunch of leads, but i don't mind using adapters (4pin molex to sata). machine is a p4 6xx (i think it's 3ghz). i'm looking to spend as little as possible, without getting a...

i'm very interested in this monitor, as the resolution and size are really nice. i was looking for some details on the panel that westinghouse uses. does anyone know what type of panel (tn/va/ips) is used? i edit photos, so i need a panel that's reasonably color accurate, and was hoping it...

i know that the info out there on dx10 is relatively sparse, but i was hoping for some insight into an expensive purchase. i just bought a latitude d620, and really like the machine. it is not really meant as my gaming machine (since i don't really game much), but, along with a docking...

was hoping for local pickup to save some $$, but i'll take what i can get. i'm in NY

i know that raw image support is supposed to exist in vista. when i go into windows photo gallery, it tells me that an update is available to download (i think) to add raw support. however, it just opens a web page that lists the formats (.crw and .cr2 for me) and the company who they...

when i try to run multi monitor with this setup, i get graphical corruption on my second monitor. all these little squares start blinking on the picture, and windows become partially transparent (in this odd square form). anotherwords, the blinking squares let me see through the window, to the...

i had a rough time with the decoder that comes with media center. installed the nvidia purevideo decoder, but it didn't seem to be in use (media center was still using its default decoder). downloaded the decoder check utility to change my decoder for video and audio to nvidia, and my...

when using java under firefox (and maybe IE, haven't tried), if you use the automatically installed version (1.5.0_06), aero is disabled every time java is used, as it seems to be incompatible. if you hunt around sun's web site a bit, they offer 1.5.0_08 that seems to work fine with aero. i...

1) has anyone been able to use the beta 2 drivers on pre-rc1? for me they just hang during install (i think when trying to switch resolutions). i've seen comments on the web that other people are having this issue as well. is there some sort of compatibility trick to make them work? 2)...

i'm looking for some new background. here's my current background: the web page part of it will stay, but i like to change up the picture in center from time to time. those pictures look best when they have a white background so they blend well with the rest of the page. figured i'd...

about 2 years ago, i thought of the idea for a picture frame pc when my grandparents had complained that they never get to see our photos anymore. i take pictures, and so do my sister and my cousins, but they often stay in digital format and rarely get printed out. it occured to me that if i...

i just bought a 7300LE to put in a customer's pc, and the fan runs at full speed all the time. i thought the driver was supposed to knock it down once windows booted but it doesn't. there's no way anyone would want to put up with this level of noise, so what can i do to dial it back?

i just picked up a celeron d and a motherboard based on the 925xe chipset. i had assumed that they would work together, since they came out around the same time. i can't get the system to post, and i've tried swapping out the other parts with known good ones. at this point, it's either the...

i think my problem is that the system is not using my graphics card for hardware acceleration. in any display configuration other than aero, windows sits at about 2% cpu usage. if i try to enable aero, both cpus shoot up to 100% and everything stutters badly. my specs are: dual core at...

i'm curious if there's a good way to be able to vpn on a port other than the default one i set up a vpn on my server (2003 box). it's a multihomed box, with one nic connected to my isp and one connected to my internal network. this server is my everything server - dns,wins,rras,dhcp...

bought this processor with the expectation that i would need it soon to build a system for someone. turns out, the system won't be built so it's up for sale. unopened retail box processor. looking for $150 shipped anywhere in the US (except alaska and hawaii if their shipping is much more...

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/odg/yahoo_east_040606?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd didn't check to see if coupons could reduce this even further. a celeron d isn't an awesome chip and it could use a bit more ram (comes with 256), but it's got an 80gb hard drive and it would make...

background: at my office, we're getting a second isp for backup in case our primary goes down. we have 3 sites, and a vpn link runs between them. without internet access, the office is practically helpless. our primary connection can handle more users, but the secondary one actually has a...

i'm trying to set up a wrt54g to receive it's wan ip address from another access point, but also be able to accept wireless and wired clients. is this possible? if not, is there a way to set up a 54g as a wireless repeater without having to mess with the settings on the source router (the one...

ordered a processor and some arctic silver a while back. got an email from tankguys saying the arctic silver was out of stock and did i want to cancel the arctic silver, or just have them ship it when it came in. i decided that they could ship it whenever it came in, and was billed for the...

i'd like to use an old power supply as an ac/dc convertor for a 12v dc device. it's much cheaper than buying a dedicated 12vdc supply with >10amps, but i was wondering if all rails need to be loaded to a certain degree in order for the power supply to function correctly.

haha.....no it's a tiny little fellow. i'm not sure how it's able to boast such good 12v rails unless they are done under impossible conditions or an outright lie.

i'm priming overnight to see what happens, but i'm about an hour in and so far so good. ADA3800DAA5BV LDBHE 0601XPBW fsb: 300 multi: 9x vcore: 1.45 full load temp: 44C (this is with a poor thermal paste application, it will probably go down when i fix it) equipment: air cooling...

i've got a pair of polk rt20p speakers. they've got (2) powered 8" bass drivers, a 6.5" for mids, and a 1" tweeter. they sound pretty good but i was wondering if i could pick up a good set of 6.5" drivers (and maybe new 1" tweeters) to make them sound even better. i know it's alot cheaper to...

came home tonight and switched on my lights in my room and heard this buzzing sound coming from multiple sources in the room. realized that my ups had switched to using the backup battery, and that was causing my monitor and the power supply on one of my computers to buzz like crazy. only...

i'm using haali's media splitter for mkv/ogm with multiple audio tracks. it almost works well in media center, except for the language priority option. in other video players it works fine, but when i set my default audio language to jpn, it just ignores it and uses the first one in the file...

i'm looking to use a web page as a desktop, so this programming question only covers a local scope (not being accessed by any other machines). i want to use an image map as my desktop, and have different parts of the image link to different things. this will provide an uncluttered way to link...

tried picking a different folder on a g4 running 9.2.2. when i rebooted, i got the mac face icon with the flashing question mark. i don't know macs, but i know that's a universally bad sign. now i'd like to go back to 9.2.2's startup folder, but is there a way to get some sort of menu so i...

drive is $99 after $40 mail in rebate to seagate, $50 rebate to circuit city, $10 instant savings. imo, this is an awesome deal on a reasonably large capacity drive. i haven't seen anything around $.33 a gig for this capacity, and especially from seagate with the 5 year warranty.

i have a 2003 server system that i'd like to make into a network file server. i'm looking at picking up 4 or 5 300gb drives to use in a raid5 array. i was going to do it by having server2003 convert all the disks into dynamic disks and then use the built in raid 5 function. i realize that...

so here she is, sitting on the rack and showing off her sexy self. sorry for the slightly odd lighting and shadows, but i have to go to class and don't have time to set up well distributed lighting for a better shot. i'll have more pics soon to detail how i mounted everything and the other...
