Thanks.

I have a OWC Thunderbolt Dock. I would like to use a USBc to Displayport cable to drive a second monitor. Does anyone know if this is possible? A cable like this. The source laptop that is plugged into the (first) USB port on the dock does support Display port Alt Mode if it matters.

Can someone tell me exactly what this port is called?

no swipe needed. now just batch processing. so we'll accept about 200 credit card orders (purchases) per day, then at night will batch charge those days cards/purchases. I'm hoping this might help lower the transaction cost because real time processing is not needed. line of business is just...

thanks, I'll give it a look.

I'm looking for recommendations on the most reliable credit card processor out there. Preferably in North America but world wide is fine too. anyone have any ideas? had to handle accepting real time credit card transactions from the US.

If I setup a typical DHCP server on the 192.168.1.x subnet it would work for all machines correct? And ICMP/ping would work too correct? I'm assuming any IP traffic/service would work as usual and as if it was a local subnet still, just a little slower at times.

I wasn't aware of the Community edition. Cool. There is not confirmed application yet, just theory and some random thoughts I had. But even if a single subnet (192.168.1.x) was spread across a large distance how much extra traffic does that actually generate? Just ARP discovery packets and...

Is it straight forward to do this without OpenVPN? what if I wanted to do it manually? It appears OpenVPN is not licensed under the GPL.

Thanks for your response. I don't have a lot of experience but was curious. I guess OpenVPN is what I shoud look at then. I'll test it out.

Is it possible to create a distributed private network over the internet using Linux? For example you have your typical home router connected to the internet and your devices get private IP's of 192.168.1.x via NAT. Now I simply want the same 192.168.1.x network to also be on the other side of...

In a stock Windows 7 or 8 installation, if someone copies a file to a USB memory stick is that tracked or logged internally in some secret part of Windows not many people know about? I realize if a file was copied with the Windows File Explorer it might log the path/file as a MRU item...

Anyone know if its possible to manually download and install Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 in an effort to upgrade it to the latest version? Or do I have to use Windows Update or something?

I have a pure CSS tooltip that works well. I just can't figure out how to manually close it with jQuery. I can hide it but it disappears and won't come back. jQuery Simple Example - JSFiddle Mouse over the tooltip and click "close". Anyone know if this can be closed via a link? I've tried all...

Do you know if these things are cross compatible? My laptop says it has DisplayPort 1.2, but the one adapter there specifically says DisplayPort 1.1a. Does that matter?

Can anyone recommend a DVI-D to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter? I have a monitor that only has a DVI-D connector on the back, and my laptop has a DisplayPort 1.2 female port.

Thanks, this worked. Was a pain to get it to boot, LILO kept giving some checksum error. Had to get a boot-repair-cd, then also drop to a shell and "sudo chroot /mnt/sda lilo" to redo lilo. Was find after that.

I can't, it's not a Windows guest. Its a Linux guest.

I've done the compact, it still leaves the Maximum disk size of 120GB.

This has been done. The 20GB is the partition size. I've free'd the space and shrunk the partition already. I can't copy and paste fdisk -l but here is an image: http://sites.extremehosting.ca/trash/size.jpg Yes /dev/sda still says 120+GB, but gparted shows its just empty & unallocated...

I have a VM that was about 120GB I wanted to migrate to a vSphere server. I had to reduce the amount to space used by the VM so it could fit so I did that - these first two screenshots show it was reduced to about 20GB on disk: http://sites.extremehosting.ca/trash/space1.jpg...

Its just a normal To-220 mosfet in a breadboard sticking up. I will probably just have to go with a giant heat sink, there doesn't appear to be any water cooling options for something like this. http://sites.extremehosting.ca/trash/mosfet.png

Hi, I'm new to water cooling. I have a MOSFET that needs to be kept as cool as possible under extreme conditions. The MOSFET is in the usual TO-220AB package style. Is there something specific I can buy that will do this? I imagine I put the mosfet between two plates and some tubes will pump...

So when it says "+12V 1 32A", that is a rail and several connectors share that rail and 32A correct?

If I got two TX 750's, or any PSU for that matter, and put the 12V 1 connectors in parallel and pulled 20A from each that would work in theory correct?

Thanks, I see some say "Over Voltage & Over Power Protection; keeps your PSU and components safe" now.

A typical power supply like this has its 12V 1 connector rated at 32A. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7850584&csid=_61 What happens when I try to pull more then that 12V x 32A = 384W? Does the connector kick off? Kick back on after a second to...

Hi, I may be trying to use a 800w PC power supply to power a custom circuit I have. It is not for an actual PC. My question is, if the power supply is rated at 800w, can I pull most or all of that wattage from one connector/port? Some I see will have the specs for the connectors at like...

Can someone tell me if there is a benefit for someone to start yet another whateverCoin but link it directly with a SWIFT code? I have my own SWIFT number like.

Can anyone recommend an enclosure that lets me put in two 2.5" SATA drives which become mirrored like RAID 1?

ok, thanks. thats what I mostly thought.

Does an eSATA drive appear to the computer in the exact same capacity as a normal internal SATA drive? Or does it appear more like an external USB drive? I should be able to have no internal drives at all and boot off of 1 eSATA drive perfectly fine requiring no special drivers at all no...

I have a 2.5" USB hard drive. I want to simply plug it into my ethernet router and map a drive to it. Whats the best way to do this? For example PogoPlug Series 4 (http://blog.pogoplug.com/announcing-pogoplug-series-4-our-newest-cloud-storage-expansion-device-1573/)?

I'm looking to build a new server. Uptime has to be like 100% if possible. So of course the obvious idea is to use SSDs. Maybe in a RAID 5 array. Is this practical for a server now? Which class of drive would be best? Is there anything special I need to know before buying drives for a high...

I need a good switch. I run a few critical servers and use those cheap netgear 4 port $50 switches. They're ok but fail alot. I need something more reliable. Preferably with redundant power. at least 8 ports. can anyone recommend something? it does not have to be a layer 3 switch. no SFP...

great, thanks. I'll order one now.

Server is only 3GB. its like so small and just sits there. I'm worried about a drive failure. This is good to know. keep the partition small because I can.

I'll turn off logging and do the noatime thing. that should be enough.

what kind of drop in life expectancy will there be in kernel 2.4? why does the ACHI driver in 2.6 help so much?

ya 2.4. does it matter for SSD drives? I can't fix what isn't broken, so 2.4 it is for now.
