    Half-Life 2: Episode Four

    I laughed! That's pretty much what I can recall from the series as well. I agree in either case, myself included, that some game dev has the fanbase to make quite a profit if they do well at continuing the series. The Source engine is still lots of fun to play on to this day, even with some...

    Blown Resistor - Advice?

    I have an older test power supply that I have probably abused 1 too many times, which has a pretty cooked resistor inside (still works but it looks bad). Instead of tossing it, I was hoping to replace the failing resistor. All of the other components appear to be visually ok (ie. not burnt)...

    Rootkits and Partitions?

    I have a question that I have been wondering for some time concerning rootkits. If I have an infected computer that I am going to reimage, if I boot from to an Ubunu LiveCD and then delete all partitions using GPParted will this remove the infected rootkit partition or is this the infected...

    WD RE4 or Black?

    So I am in the market for a new NAS and along side with that will be 4 new drives- 2TB capacity each. I have been reading TONS of reviews online on the two products but have failed to find anything comparing the new WD Black Drives (WD2003FZEX) to the pre-existing RE4 drives (WD2003FYYS). Aside...

    GPO printer restriction for some users

    Nate- I am looking to halt the user from printing to everything but virtual printers- I want to still permit them to use the Acrobat virtual printer for document conversion. I think that adding them from network locations will be simple- I just setup a lab and am testing now but Liquid hinted...

    GPO printer restriction for some users

    So I have been banging my head against my desk some time with this but can't seem to find a straight answer on doing this. I essentially want to disable printing abilities from some users , regardless of which computer they login to BUT I want to enable printing abilities when another user who...

    Excluding a portion of interesting traffic from Cisco cryptomap

    Arg, I am an idiot. I put my exclusions list into the interesting traffic cryptomap and then denied that traffic. Once I removed it (having the ACL setup exactly as you stated) it now works. Thanks for making me realize this!

    Excluding a portion of interesting traffic from Cisco cryptomap

    Hi all! Its been a long time since I have posted on these forums but I am banging my head against the desk with this one. I was hoping one of you CCNA folks would read this. I have a Cisco ASA with the newest IOS on it and a VPN which is NAT'ed to one of my remote sites. For argument sake lets...

    Sharing site on 2 ports in IIS6

    Sorry I did not make it clearer that this is all on the same server. For the regular HTTPS site I was just making a point that there is an invisible 443 on the end of the URL but it is not needed when accessing the site. If I make the URLs different like https://site1.sp.com and...

    Sharing site on 2 ports in IIS6

    Are you referring to the https part (port 443)? Both sites have identical URLs (https://site.sp.com) but the difference is the one with forms was going to be on port 1234 (obviously the users will need to enter this) so it would look like https://site.sp.com:1234. Not sure if this is possible. I...

    Sharing site on 2 ports in IIS6

    Maybe someone could tell me if this is possible and how to do it since I am stumped at this point. I have a SharePoint site which I need to allow 2 forms of access to. My requirement is that both of them need to have SSL enabled for security reasons. For internal users, I currently have them...

    pfSense 2.0- NUT Battery.Charge.Low

    Wow, I am glad that I had a challenging question in that there are no responses yet! I am thinking of adding the command that I need to crontab and to run every 30 mins or so. Yes, it is redundant however it will ensure that I will achieve the 30% remaining that I am looking for. Any other...

    pfSense 2.0- NUT Battery.Charge.Low

    So I have NUT up and running and all is good except for the fact that it does not trigger shutdown until the battery reaches 10% remaining. Due to the aged batteries that I have (aka I am too cheap to replace them) by the time it hits 10% it runs for less than 10 seconds before the UPS runs out...

    Understanding SMART Values for WD HDD

    So I have been having some drive issues lately (due to a failing mobo controller) and decided to look into the SMART values in Ubuntu (go live cd!). My drive tested as follows: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1...

    Generate Fan RPM Signal W/O Fan

    I figured I would conclude this thread by first thanking Mohonri for assisting me with this endeavor. His circuit could not have worked better! I finished it yesterday and mounted it using some standoffs and a piece of plexiglass under neath. In total I spent about $10 from Radio Shack (for...

    Generate Fan RPM Signal W/O Fan

    Mohonri- Thank you SO much for the effort! I was just having trouble visualizing how I needed to build the circuit. I did have 2 questions though. The first was for pin 8 on the 555 timer, I am assuming that it needs a 12V supply voltage (this is my first time using a 555)? Also for pin 3 that...

    Generate Fan RPM Signal W/O Fan

    Cool, thanks for the detailed reply Mohonri. There is one thing that I forgot to include in my post, that being that I am working with a 3-pin header...which I am assuming would follow the same set of guidelines? Also just to understand this, can it still be done with just using a 1uF cap and a...

    Generate Fan RPM Signal W/O Fan

    The title pretty much says it all. I am looking to generate a "fake" RPM signal for a switch that I modded to fit a 120mm fan. Basically, I have removed the 40m 8000RPM fan which was noisy, cut a hole in the top of the case and affixed a 120mm fan. My main issue is that the IOS now thinks there...

    PSU-On Switch Amperage?

    Wow, thanks for the posts! As I originally mentioned, this will be for a network appliance (firewall) which only has a single rocker switch on the back of the PSU and now that I have had some time to think things over I am wondering if the mobo has its own circuit for connecting the green and...

    PSU-On Switch Amperage?

    I am installing a desktop PSU into (or rather outside) of a 1U network appliance however the network appliance does not have a momentary switch to activate the PSU. To work around this I am going to install a SPST switch to toggle the PSU on and off, removing the green wire from the 24-pin...

    Tamper evident stickers

    I heard that clear nail polish can accomplish this. Just mark a small area and if it has been cracked then the device likely has been tampered with.

    Cisco 300 Series Switches

    I have the SG300-10 and it works beautifully. I use it primarily for its port mirroring however the web config offers much more than that. ...and it does have a serial port on the back if you wish to configure via console.

    IPS Panasonic HDTV: Is this backlight bleeding acceptable?

    The second almost looks like IPS glow which would be normal but judging from the first one, that is pretty bad if it really looks like that in real life and would return the panel.

    Zalman CNPS7700 120mm Replacement Fan?

    Anyone know where to purchase a 120mm replacement fan for a Zalman CNPS7700 heatsink? I love this sink but the bearings on my existing fan are beginning to wear out. I found a vendor online named AcousticPC who offers the part but I am unsure if they are reputable (and their site is riddled with...

    ESX 4.1 and VC 4.1 has been Released

    That was one of the items that I checked. Interestingly enough this issue is not just limited to 2008. It also affects Windows XP, 2000, Ubuntu 10 & 9, Backtrack and Linux Mint. Not sure what they changed in 4.1 but it sure did cause a whole handful of issues for me!

    ESX 4.1 and VC 4.1 has been Released

    Thanks for the reply child of wonder. I reinstalled 4.1 this after noon and tried your recommendation but I am still having the same issue. I noticed that this occurs in both my Windows 7 and Windows XP hosts. Before I install VMware tools it is choppy as anything (basically unworkable) but...

    Start Outlook 2010 in System Tray Only

    Does anyone know any tricks to getting Outlook 2010 to start with windows and ONLY display the icon in the system tray? I can start the program minimized if I put it into the startup folder but when it starts on a fresh boot it displays in my taskbar and flashes until I click on it. Once it is...

    Intel Martix Storage Manager w/ Single Drive

    I wasn't concerned so much regarding it reporting a failed drive as I was if the program has any added benefit performance wise with a single drive. I think I may leave the program off for now (since it was not there to begin with)....and to lower my startup times by a second or two.

    Intel Martix Storage Manager w/ Single Drive

    New ESXi Server and MS Activation Query?

    Its been a long time since I have posted a meaningful question here but I now have one after all this time! I am going to be building a new i7-based ESXi server and have spec'ed it out to allow multiple OSes to run at the same time. I am mainly planning on running Server 03/08 on it with...

    Older and Future VPN technologies?

    criccio- That is an excellent idea. Thank you very much for your feedback for a future one. I looked over its preliminaries and it looks more than ideal for this project's requirements. I am working on IPSec as the current one right now but will look into DirectAccess after I am finished up...

    Older and Future VPN technologies?

    YeOldeStonecat- So would PPTP not be considered a dated protocol since it has adapted to todays needs? I was under the assumption that it is no longer used. I was researching on PPTP and see that its RFC was made in 1990 however I am under the impression that it has adapted to run on IP-based...
