iTunes has a "Backup to Disc" option built-in that will save off your library to CD or DVD...then you can easily use those backups to restore the library on a new install/new machine.
And, in the process, you end up with backup copy you can store for future use.
You might go look at the AdTran NetVanta 3200 series routers. They are pretty inexpensive and probably among the cheapest T1 routers around. They have an IOS similar to Cisco but they also have a web interface for configuration.

Basically, all the Windows Updates plus some other stuff that you can download and install offline. You can install it and the update packs and then update your system all at one go.
This is probably the easiest for most people. You...
A Windows system without a C: root is easy to deal with. I've got a couple of machines with root drives of F: or G:
Check the Windows help on the subst command. It is your friend if you have an app that insists on using C:\
A simple "subst C: F:\" will fix you right up.
Personally, I...
Yes, the bittorrent stuff is probably causing the cheaper routers to reboot or lockup.
Try using m0n0wall, pfsense, Smoothwall or IPCOP...all of these Linux/BSD-based routers will not die to massive connections created by using bitorrent.
However, unless your roommate throttles down his...
At NewEgg, they have the Intel MicroATX board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813121050 for about $115 with shipping.
I've built a system with a E6300 on this mobo and it was a nice fast little system. If you don't want to OC, this might be an option. It has PCI-Express...
I use code like this:
Windows("MAINTBILL.xlt").Activate
Sheets("Detail").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Select

Just tried it, this works. Just set up a macro with this and you can quickly test it as you move the "last cell" by changing the value of some cell:
Sub TestLastCell()
Cells(1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = "Last Row"
Cells(2, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value =...
This may or may not work for you in your situation, but I use the following code to set a print area dynamically and as a side-effect, it finds the last cell:
Sheets("Detail").Select ' set print area to variable data
ActiveSheet.Range("A15").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select...
You might try "psexec" from www.sysinternals.com -- It gives you remote command-line access to machines on the network but you need to know a user/password in order to connect to the remote machine.
Great if you want to write a batch file/script to do things to other computers.
You could...
Try http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
No guarantees, but it's always worked for me. Just take all the defaults and it will blank the admin password and then you can get back into the machine and do the rest from Windows proper.
While you are in the utility, pay...
Something like this will probably help you. I had a sheet called "Answers":

If you go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx you can download the free Visual Studio Express with VB.NET.

Ok, let's say you have the following 2 lines saved as "parselog.cmd" :
@echo off
for /F "delims=() tokens=2" %%A in (%1) do (echo copy "\\%2\%%A" "%%A")
...then you can do:
parselog C:\somefile.log myserver > c:\copycmds.cmd
To write the file C:\copycmds.cmd.

I think the only way it will work for you is to find a friend with a computer on the internet that he has control of.
He can run the UltraVNC Repeater on it in Mode II and then you can have you machine at the college connect to the Repeater PC in listen mode and then you can connect from...
AWK is your friend.
You can use it to massage the text file into something that you can handle in VBA.
Warning: AWK is a command-line tool from the Unix world and is easy/hard depending on what you know of regular expressions.
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm
I believe that's short for ALLTRIM which is a built-in function that trims both leading and trailing spaces from a string.
This is based on VFP 9.0 help files.
If you use a BT client like Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ you can limit the overall in & outbound bandwidth used. If you back down the upload speed in Azureus (or your bt client) off your max upload speed, that will help keep the downloads working for other applications.
(the...
From the looks of it, this could be handled by saving the file as ASCII text and then running it through a fairly trivial AWK script, using AWK to insert a literal "<PAGEBREAK>" where needed and then load it back into Word and search/replace on all the "<PAGEBREAK>" with an actual page break and...
...but before I'd spend $2K on a Barracuda, you should still try the $200 ORF product.
Yes, it's just spam filtering, but most of your viruses are coming on that spam. Turn on a few blacklists and AD integration and watch your spam disappear.

You might want to look into a dual-wan router, something like a Xincom 502 from http://www.xincom.com
This would let all the computers share both connections and give you the ability to port map, etc the stuff coming from the static IP connection to the appropriate servers on your lan...
Visit http://www.vamsoft.com and spend $200 on the Open Relay Filter (somewhat of a misnomer).
It sits in front of your SMTP and can use multiple spam blacklists (like SpamHaus, SpamCop, etc), you own custom black & white lists by IP, recipient, send and Active Directory.
Very easy to...
You may want to check out Microsoft's Small Business Server offerings. You get a Win2k3 server, Exchange w/5 CAL's for a pretty decent price. If you go with the Pro SBS, you also get SQL server and ISA (firewall, proxy server) as part of the deal.
It supports up to 50 users (may be more now...
If I understand the problem correctly, here's what I have done in a couple of situations like yours:
Turn off NetBios over TCP/IP
Install your VPN client and get it working
Install IPX protocol and enable NetBios over it instead

Go to http://www.vamsoft.com and buy ORF (Open Relay Filter). Don't bother with the demo BUY it.
This will let you block (among other things) all emails addressed to non-existant AD uesrs.
You can also add blacklist blocking and more.
Well worth the $99.

Typically, premise wiring is solid core wire while patch cords are stranded wire.
Cat-5/Cat-5e etc describes the specifications of the wire. As far as I know, both premise wiring and patch cords can be rated "cat-5e" or anything else if they meet the wiring specs.
I would suggest looking into m0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/index.php
