Network sharing was essentially what I was talking about. smb shares mounted to the server, which I remote in to. I wanted to make sure this was the best approach.

Hello, I'm setting up my home network, and could use advice on accessing it from the outside world. I have 4 Machines, A, B, C, D. A is my laptop. B, C and linux boxes, D is Windows 7. Everything is behind a little linksys router/firewall/switch. My question is this: Should I...

Hello, Looking for a laptop, ~$750 max, for web and other remote development, as well as basic web, office, video, etc. Nothing too crazy. It will dual boot Win7 and ubuntu. Here's what i'm looking at: MSI CR720-265US http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152216...

Wow those are some expensive machines. I was hoping to find something less expensive.

Hello, I'm an ubuntu lover, and would like a laptop that either has an open source (read free) OS loaded or none at all. I also have several windows licenses should I need them. Seems like this would be a nice way to try to save a few bucks. Is there any place that does this? I thought...

I emphasized the horribly there. It wasn't done after 10 hours or so. Here are my specs: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Socket AM3 GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H AM3 AMD 880G SATA Western Digital WD5000AAKS Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 PC1333 Using...

I'd be interested in knowing why...

If I click "Task" over and over, the same task dialog keeps repeating in the main view. If this desired?

Forgot about the thread, but the solution(s) are simple. Instead of testing by directing your browser to http://localhost..., use your IP. OR If you ant to undo some this aspect of working on the machine local to the application, you can override the rescue_from_action_locally to call...

Hey, I'm doing a basic project in Ruby on Rails, and want to test my routing, and error pages. I'd like to do this in my development environment. I've gone into config/environments/development.rb and set: config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local = false But when I go...

Hi there, Here's my final build with CPU-Mobo combo. Let me know what you think. I appreciate your suggestions, definitely helped me in the right direction. I would like to order this week, so if you know of any similar combos (including sensible downgrades or upgrades) that save money...

Hey, I'd like to take advantage of combo deals to do this, but since I'm not 100% on the build date, I'd like to make myself slightly more flexible. For example, with the motherboard, What are the thing I'm looking for? My assumption is Socket AM3, DDR3 support, Onboard Video w/ HDMI...

AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core MSI 880GM-E41 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996586 Western Digital...

One quick question, and I'm sure it's dumb, but just to make sure. Is the Mushkin budget memory an OK swap for that GSkill? Inventory is short on the GSkill. Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996586...

I'm digging the suggestions, thanks. It looks like it also leaves room to upgrade too, which I enjoy. Assuming I do not go with the video card, are there any other upgrades to your build you would suggest, since I have some budget room? I was looking over some CPU benchmarks, and was...

I was thinking the hardware acceleration would be needed for blu ray playback.

Hello, Sorry for the delay. I've edited my OP for the budget change, and added PSU to items I need. This means I need: Motherboard, CPU, RAM, PSU, Video Card, DVD-RW/Blu-Ray player is possible. As a reminder, I will dual boot ubuntu/Win7. Thanks!

Hey, I posted a question regarding linux hardware acceleration for playback in the linux forum, so we shall see. Also, the PSU I have is new, I was trying to save my urrent system after my previous PSU went out, and seems to have taken the motherboard, and possibly all other things with...

Hello, My new build, which I quickly outline here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036159008&posted=1#post1036159008 is going to need to stream HD from the web, and hopefully play blu ray. I'd like to run a linux distro, most likely Ubuntu on this machine. I'm being told that ATI...

Also take note that blu ray playback would be nice, but not totally needed. I do have a PS3 I use, but it would be cool to get it all in one. Streaming HD content from the web is my main concern really with video playback.

Sorry if I sound newbish, I've been out of the game for a bit. Is it simply that this motherboard only supports 2.1 audio over HDMI? I thought you could do 8 channels over it. And if I use that card, I can bitstream via HDMI, or 7.1 via the motherboard? Which should I prefer of those two...

I do have a PSU already, sorry. OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W

Hello, Here's the quick summary: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Web browsing, office work, will hook up to my 42" LCD for Hulu, movies, etc. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $500, Would LOVE to spend less though. 3) Where do...

Hello, I'm writing an App for mobile devices (mainly iphone and Android for now) that will work like Google Latitude in the basic sense. I'd like to be able to have the phone to send it's location to a central server, and from there the server would be able to distribute it to anybody else...

I'm curious what your headaches with simple visual studio stuff was. I've thought that doing simple things was extremely easy. However, if you do want something different, go for MinGW.

Actually I think what has me confused is that Ubuntu has share options in the right click menu, but I don't think anything is installed by default to actually share the files. So basically I need to do a little NFS for dummies I suppose.

Can I use both NFS and Samba? If so, how? Also, I thought NFS was the default used if I right click a folder in ubuntu and set it to share. I've done that, and my two ubuntu machiens can't see each other. Am I supposed to edit some firewall settings or something?

Hello: I'm setting a new development system, and here's what I have done: I've setup ubuntu 9.10 on my main workstation and my development server Win 7 on netbook. I want to map a /home/MyUserName/Public directory on my dev server, to both my netbook and main workstation. I've put...

Hello, I'm trying to generate some reports based code I have in my system. Some code isn't actually used, as it's part of a larger library, and I therefore don't want it in my report. For a very basic example, say I have a class MyClass declared and defined in MyClass.h and MyClass.cpp...

Hello, I'd like to write my own poll application for the web, for fun. I know there are plenty I could use, but I'd like to do it myself for education purposes. To start simple, I'd like the poll to ask a question, with 4 or 5 options for a response, and store off the user response by...

Well updating from Ubuntu NBR wirelessly. I need to learn with linux that syslogs are my friend. I checked, and there was some IP conflict. I didnt setup the mask correctly. Windows allows you to connect, but shows "issues" in this case, but Ubuntu just doesnt let you connect at all...

Hello, I wanted to try out Ubuntu on my Lenovo S10-2 netbook, so I installed Ubuntu 9.10 NBR. ll worked fine (dual booting with Windows 7), except the wireless doesn't want to connect to my wireless router. It took me some time to get the wireless drivers installed. It's a Broadcomm...

Hi, I'm doing some web development, and made a server for testing purposes with Fedora. I'd also like to use this server for .NET development on windows server. I do alot of SSH and remote devlopment. I was thinking of dual boot, but if I'm away from the server, I can't switch OS's. Can...

Well unfortunately it's a linux host. I thought of just using PHP to search through the XLS file, but I'm afraid of performance. It's 12 columns, about 1500 rows. I'd have to use a PHP library to open and read in the contents of the file, then search it. That seems slow to do on each...

Unfortunately I have to use Excel. That's what the client is used to, and they like it, and dislike change. Also the this Spreadsheet will need to be searched from a web interface by members of the website. That's why I'd like to export it to MySQL without having to export the spreadsheet...

I'm brand new to Excel 2007, and I'm working a project for a buddy of mine. He wants to manage an Excel file of his clients data, and have it be searchable from a web interface. Creating an Access type front end isn't an option and neither is a web interface. His client is adamant about...

I can get this netbook at a great price, so I'm seriously considering it. One thing I wonder is whether or not I should wait for Windows 7 to be released before I do so. From what I've read, the verdict may still be out on Netbooks with Windows 7. Is this worthwhile to wait? If not Windows...

Was looking at the Lenovo also, but is this a good time to buy or should I wait for Windows 7 to be shipped on it?

I'm wiriting up some PHP using a command pattern type of design. Here's my directory setup: /include/command/CommandRouter.php // Routes command to proper command object /include/command/UserLogin.php // Class implementing ICommand /include/command/ICommand.php...
