So now any person can log into the site. Great idea :confused: I think it's probably you who does not fully understand how basic authentication works. Here's a hint: 1) Create a user 2) Open gpedit.msc 3) Go to: Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local...

The server is already set up; this is a question about securing a site, not setting one up. I'm not sure you guys understand the problem at all. I want to create a second user in Windows that only has access to the website. No RDP and no FTP. Blocking ports is not an option. Installing...

It's just an HTTPS site. No FTP as it's not secured (secured FTP cannot be done due to firewall issues).

I run my own server with IIS on Windows 7 Pro, using authentication. This server has one user that is used to do everything. I can do RDP, FTP, and HTTPS all from this one user. I would like to give out a generic username/password that can be used by friends and family. Considering the power...

Mozilla started building 64-bit a little while ago. 64-bit Firefox: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/

What was wrong with it? I had no complaints on the 360. Harrier > Chopper Gunner > Nuke ftw :)

I guess I'm just not going to understand it. If you "don't give a shit about the who, what, where, when, how, and why", then it's not going to happen. It's like saying you want 27 USB ports on it. You're not being realistic. You just keep repeating yourself with the "we just want it" line...

You're missing the point. The goal was to build the thinnest, lightest, longest-lasting laptop they could. And knowing it's Apple, I would feel confident saying that it's got a decent profit margin. People would have liked to see a lot of things as features, but why bother? Even the guy that...

Amazon said 5.6, but that's shipping weight - sorry. Either way, it was removed due to space requirements and the fact that it's not really needed. Like I said, you either know how to type, or you use the light from the screen to see the keys.

Ah, sorry, I don't look at people's sigs most of the time. So you're upset that a laptop that was meant to be very light and very thin doesn't have the same options as your 1.3" thick, 5.6 pound laptop? Awesome. I used to have a 15" PowerBook with the backlit keyboard. I never used it...

Which Sony laptop? According to who? You need to have a backlit keyboard to use a computer? Shit, here I thought you just needed to know how to type. Or you could use the light from the computer's screen to find the keys.

At one point, 640k was enough, too...

RDP hosting and dynamic disks, too.

TeamViewer. They download it from the site, open it, and give you a couple of numbers. They can watch what you're doing as well, so they can see how you're doing something.

That, and no cost. Like I said, I already wrote the scripts and it's running now and I'm pretty happy with it, with the exception of how crappy typeperf is for what it needs to do (it takes 20 seconds to query 7 performance counters, because if you call typeperf in a batch file, it may return...

The Windows server is standalone and I don't run any VMs - and Munin is *nix only, right? I needed something that could be contained completely in Windows.

I wanted to be able to access the graphs on the web.

I ended up sitting down last night and making a script to grab them all from typeperf and import the data with rrdtool. It's kind of ugly because typeperf is not very robust, but it works. Thank you for the response, though. If anyone else is interested, I can post the script here.

I'd like to start graphing some performance data from my server - CPU, memory usage, disk space, disk activity, network throughput, etc. Cacti seems to be hugely popular on the Linux side of things, but seems to lack some things on the Windows side. I found typeperf, which can use ODBC to...

Another vote for Teamviewer. Incredibly simple to explain to anybody.

The DHCP server inside MyWi is refusing to work on mine. Anybody have any thoughts?

As someone who enjoys the World Cup, let me be thankful that ESPN isn't filled with people who look at the ratings to decide what should be on.

According to who?

Considering what Comcast charges for HD access and a DVR, it's probably cheaper in the end to use all four of the things you mentioned in place of Comcast. Not to mention that Hulu, Netflix, and iTunes shows are all available anywhere you have your phone.

Hmm... thanks for the heads up. I had looked yesterday and there is a ticket in there system saying that both stable and beta releases didn't work with it. I'll try it out though.

So they mentioned new radios in the iPhone 4 to support AT&T's 7.2 network. Do the current phones (3G and 3GS) not support this network? Couple of coworkers got the EVO 4G, and they are getting about 4Mbps down on the 4G network. If it's only the new iPhone on the 7.2 network, I think it will...

As soon as ClickToFlash gets updated for Safari 5, I will switch.

Just wanted to follow up on this in case anybody is looking for answers on how to do it... The built-in help doesn't say anything about how to mirror. 1) Install the new disk 2) Click the existing volume on a dynamic disk 3) Choose add mirror and select the new disk 4) Wait for Windows to sync...

I think you fail to understand what I'm looking at that tells me, and every other sane person, to stay away from that drive. There is one specific review that 62 of 66 people found helpful, that warn about how unreliable this drive is. And while I won't bother to look too hard, I doubt people...

Noted. I will head to MicroCenter tomorrow to pick up the new drive and probably try it out on Sunday. Thanks again!

Normally, I would agree with you. But considering 62 of 66 people voted up a 1 "egg" review about how bad these drives are, I think it's safe to say "keep your distance".

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to post. I figured someone must have used this before :cool:

I don't understand how reliability means backups. I don't want backups, I want the server to stay online. That's what I mean when I say reliability. Maybe I'm not using the right word. Or maybe I don't clearly understand what RAID 1 really means. I thought if I used RAID 1 (as a "mirrored"...

Keep in mind this is not really for a "home" user. I am not concerned about being able to get data back if I accidentally delete it. I am concerned about keeping the server up, doing it's job. Using a second drive as a backup would require manual intervention to change the drive letter on...

He must have some very beefy forearms to read ebooks on his 5 lb. tm2 for 10 hours. I have scrawny little t-rex arms since I only have to hold onto a 1.5 lb. iPad. :(

I recently got the server in my sig up and running and configured. There is one 1TB drive holding my data and a separate 160GB drive for the OS. I'd like to move all of my stuff (music library and movies) onto the server and get rid of the laptop. As such, reliability concerns are beginning...

No, it's not that the average person uses 2GB - it's that ~60% use under 200MB and 98% use less than 2GB. Big difference.

Fair enough. I figured you meant just somebody who was just looking for a PC to use for browsing and e-mail.

I'm one of those people that's sketchy on whether or not an adhesive remover would cosmetically damage whatever the sticker is on (plastic or metal or what have you). Even if you test on a small, unnoticeable area, I would rather take the extra 2 minutes dabbing the water on and waiting. What...

I remember hearing something about Amazon using their "hassle free" packaging (aka no protection for the drive), but I believe they realized this was happening after people started to complain and are in the process of, or have already, fixed it. Personally, I go to a brick and mortar store -...
