    What to virtualize?

    So I did a bit of reading on hyper-v and found this: http://keznews.com/4085_Microsoft’s_Hyper-V_puts_VMWare_and_Linux_on_notice which (at the bottom) says that Vista isn't happy as a VM because it doesn't work with the intigration tools. Is that still the case? If so it seems like I...

    What to virtualize?

    One of my grand plans for this rig is going to be installing visual studio and my main projects to a ramdisk. I expect to see a major performance boost (especially when compiling and unit testing), but to do it right requires 8gb of ram (two for the host OS two for the guest and four for the...

    What to virtualize?

    Hello all. It's been just about a year since I've been around these parts (thanks for not nuking my account!) so if my manerisms are a bit dated please just slap me around a bit. So I'm thinking about building a new everything box for work and play. Right now I'm a professional .NET 2/3.5...

    Automated key holding

    Hello all, I'm trying to find some software mechanism by which I can convince windows that I'm holding down a key on the keyboard (as opposed to pressing it over and over again quickly) so that I can more accurately test my games (current automation schemes just end up pushing the button over...

    Using FXRuby in Dapper woes

    Would anyone here mind walking me through getting FXRuby from where it is now to a state where I can run the example scripts that it comes with? I'm still not quite to the level of linux pwnership where I have an intuitive sense of what I need to do next. So far, I have (AFIAK) installed...

    16 copies of OneNote

    Good question, I'm not up on the legalities of it. The practical answer is, nobody really cares given the scale and the one-time nature. I realize the judge probably wouldn't see it that way, but it might work to claim that they cannot be resold if they were never sold in the first place...

    16 copies of OneNote

    Hello all, I was just given 16 copies of M$ OneNote 2003 (NFR). I would like to get rid of them. I'm thinking $20 shipped (each), or $275+shipping for the lot. They're all in new condition, but they don't come with packaging or documentation, just a sealed M$ cardboard sleeve with an unused...

    Eclipse is making me miffed

    I'm having a severely hard time getting eclipse to generate a webservice stub, even given a tutorial, the wizard simply doesn't work. Its to the point where I'm considering switching environments altogether. So is there a good, free, Java IDE that will reliably do webservice work? Preferably...

    How much for contract programming?

    Thanks for the info, I'll definately pick up a book. You have raised another question though, and this may or may not be covered in the book I don't yet have; is it better to have one strategically thinking person, or should I make a group endeavor out of the plan-making process? It's nice...

    How much for contract programming?

    Largest app: not all that impressive. I've written a few games for gits and shiggles and at my last job I was suckered into writing their invoice tracking system (but it was in PHP :o ), I would say less than five thousand lines of code total for any one project, but I never actually...

    How much for contract programming?

    The very long term goal for the project is mission critical, I make no bones that I and my team are going to start out as anything but noobies... and it's not zero experience, I've been programming for 6 months now (professionally, I've been screwing around with code for 3-4 years now), but this...

    How much for contract programming?

    You're right on the money, so to speak. As it's currently set up $20/hour is substancially more than I'm set to be making, and it is the only money changing hands. Yeah, I hadn't considered that, I was still psyched to have a real programming job. The latter is far closer to the case...

    How much for contract programming?

    I'm about to start work as a contract programmer, the specifics of the project are NDA'd, but I can tell you that I'm going to be manging and leading a small team of programmers to write real estate investment software, that will ultimately grow to a mission critical resource (if I do a good job...

    I'm at work and I've been quested to make a mailserver, I installed sendmail (onto the fresh debian box) and I can't connect to it from another box on the lan. Outlook tells me (when I use the "test account settings" feature) that it has found the SMTP and POP servers, but that it cannot log in...

    Burn-in on an LCD?!

    USB PS2 Controller -> PS2

    I'm planning a mod where I put a PS2 (slim) into a computer case, using the case's front USB ports as a pass through to the PS2's USB ports, I wonder, is there any way I can build an adapter to make a standard dualshock PS2 USB compatable? I looked around and only found products that work for...

    Maya Q; noob having trouble with dynamic animation

    The problem with the bajillions of keyframes approach is that there are alot of significant points through the rotation of the V8, it would take a long time. Would skeletons/joints work?

    Maya Q; noob having trouble with dynamic animation

    I only keyframe the first and last frames, setting the rotateY to 360 and it works fine... just until I attach a rod (which isn't, but normally would be, connected to a piston which would move inside the engine block) at which point it goes nuts. I strongly suspect that you're right, that it's...

    Maya Q; noob having trouble with dynamic animation

    So my goal is to build a Lego V8 in Maya then animate it to actually turn. After watching the "Intro to Maya" VTMs on the UT2k4 bonus disk I feel like I can handle it, but apparently one can't just watch 6 hours of movies and expect to be an expert :( . My first (and only so far) try was to...

    M$ Access query question; how to blacklist?

    I have two tables and a query, one table has addresses and whatnot, the other has a blacklist of names, the goal is for the query to filter out (among other things) any record that contains a blacklisted name. How would I go about doing this? I've been playing around with relationships but...

    No it's not warez, you can get the same file from the fileplanet nazis, sony wants you to have the file because it's only usefull if you pay for an account at $15 per month. I have since taken the file down and replaced it with three smaller files that collectivly decompress to the same...

    cell phone apps

    I don't know if you can do it directly, but I don't see a reason you couldn't set something up to forward SMS messages to email which could then be sent to a server and interpreted. It would be one way communication, but it should work.

    First website + webserver...a lil advice?

    I'm going to guess that you're on a normal home broadband connection. If so you give it the IP address of the modem (which is the addy the server projects to the net) then tell the router to route all trafic on port 80 to whatever your private internal IP is. In the Host field of A(Host) just...

    First website + webserver...a lil advice?

    This is how I have it configured, feel free to use your own IP address and change the cnames to whatever services you want to host. To get to that window go to the manage domains area and click on your domain, then in the blue bars along the side click Total DNS Control

    First website + webserver...a lil advice?

    Who did you register your domain through? Most of them will have a DNS section that allows you to use their servers to point to your house. Once you get this set up the adds will go away and you'll get the apache logo page, provided port 80 is open all the way from the net to your server...

    Lian Li PC-6070B Case vs Tsunami and Wave

    I've got one, I love the worksmanship and layout of it, but occationally I get a whine, a gentle kick solves it for a while, but in the "silent" pc case category I wouldn't give it such good marks. No idea about those other cases so I can't really compair.
