The other day I was feeling like trying to fiddle around with some sequencing and looped track editing on my computer. I haven't done anything with that kind of stuff for years (I have ACID v3 if that dates me). I remember hearing about Fruity Loops a while back and decided to look for it to...

This is a weird one, so I wanted to see if I could get some other input and / or ideas from people here on methods I could use to solve the problem. But first, a brief description of the system config: This is a Vista Business Upgrade from an XP Pro install. After the install, I only had two...

I have searched Google as best I could, and even attempted to perform a few of the actions stated on a few places. However, since having installed iTunes yesterday my entire My Videos folder has been unplayable by Windows Media Player, which is my preferred video player (iTunes for music)...

I'm not going to bitch about the threads complaining of Vista features. I'm not going to whine about the threads asking for Vista downloads or Vista keys, or asking which programs work with what. However... Of all the people who are using this OS, and I am included among you, has it...

So, I assume enough people have at least heard of the Microsoft plunge into the antivirus realm. What I wasn't aware of, however, was the number of useful features were going to be in the package for the health of the OS as a whole, and not just for things like e-mail or some documents (which is...

For the last month I have been jumping through every hoop imaginable to try to get my company's Exchange server to be able to deliver to SBC internet customers. We do not run an open relay, I've run through every RBL I could find, and I've even added an SPF record where there was previously...

Back in 2002, I got myself a laptop from Northgate that had a Pentium 4 @ 2 ghz and 512 of RAM. I knew it wasn't going to have the battery life of the mobile Pentiums but it was enough to do what I needed and was (at the time) the best price for my budget. For the last two and a half years it's...

A while back, Ice Czar made a thread full of command-line and MMC stuff for Windows administration, and a few others contributed and tossed in some suggestions. I also offerred to host the stuff on my own web space because I thought it was a great idea. After spending some time getting more...

Just in case anyone hasn't read this link here from up front... I'm having a difficult time being able to tell the difference between Ballmer's wild speculations/promises and the reality of development plans. Frankly, I see the possibility of a slightly-updated server OS popping up sooner...

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the service disabling. For a "yes" answer, this would include any of his different variations of "safety" lists. If you vote "some," I would appreciate a list of ones you did disable. If yes, feel free to tell which version list you used. I promise no...

Okay, so I've been having no problems with Fedora and my wireless card (Orinoco) for a while, until I decided to turn WEP on. Now, since I only have the Orinoco Silver, I had to turn on 64-bit encryption, since that's the max the card can handle. Works fine in Win 2k and XP. My problem: no...

This is a list of common myths and misconceptions concerning operating systems that are regularly used when discussing performance, stability, and security. This list is not a spur-of-the-moment document, having had input from numerous sources here on the [H]. Also, it should be noted that the...

Okay, now I've been officially on the record before as stating that there is no magic and mystery to computers. Once all illogical possibilities are removed from the list, the most logical one can be found with a little work. I continue to stand by this, and never accept the more ridiculous...

I sent an e-mail to Steve, but I dunno if he's gonna post the link on the front. http://www.linspire.com/RunLinspireFlash.php This is a hillarious "commercial" for Linspire. No matter what your position is on Linux, Windows, Linspire, or any other operating system, I still recommend...

I decided to download and browse through the Service Pack 2 release data from Microsoft (located here). I was mostly looking forward to seeing a few things, and was wondering what other work went into this much-hyped release. I found that I was both pleased and disappointed, and I figured I...

I saw a thread made on another forum to this effect, but while they probably started it for contention or for some kind of "getting to know you" type of thread, I want to know so I can compile a list of things to observe and compare as far as how certain programs work. Now, some may have to do...

Apparently, I may have to eat my hat very soon regarding my comments about LotD (Linux on the desktop), if this recent article at Ars is showing the beginning of some new thinking in the community. I'm referring to (and the article covers) Ximian's Red Carpet, of course. Or Open Carpet, for...

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/0,39020330,39119028,00.htm I seriously can't believe it. Seven years old, and they won't let it fall to the wayside. The majority of the user base is running 2000 and above, and they won't let it go. All development for their products is for a completely different...
