Due to the licensing changes of Oracle's Java RE, I've been looking at alternatives to run on a couple workstations. AdoptOpenJDK seem to the be go-to, and while it has proper runtimes (like java web start via Icetea), I am at a complete loss on how to configure it since it does not have a Java...

I grow tired of having to go through Apps and Features just to get to programs and features. It's also aggravating that when you explicitly search for programs and features that it doesn't come up. Is there a way to add this or other things to the index?

I've never come across this problem, and apparently neither has anyone on the internet either.. so here I am posting as a last resort. I have exhausted all of my ideas. In the interest of being thorough--yesterday a client informed me that his workstation was extra slow. I checked it out, and...

So I have been using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for the last few months. Prior to this phone, I used a small variety of Windows Phones. There are good and bad things on both sides of the fence, but there is one disparity between the two that sticks out most to me. The keyboard and its...

Does anyone else get a lot of prompts similar to the below while browsing the forum? Often times I have to dismiss multiple instances of the same dialogue while a page loads. If I hit 'yes' the store presents me with Music/Mp3 apps.. lol I've looked around here and can't find anyone...

Using the latest Logitech software plus drivers. I have a G500s at work on windows 7, and a G500s at home on windows 10. I've gone through the software and the settings on both machines are identical.. but there's something really off feeling with the mouse acceleration on Windows 10...

My IT guy recommended that I get a device to mount in our small server room to monitor temperature, humidity, maybe even snap pictures if someone enters the room, which can be set up to send email or sms alerts. Anyone have suggestions? Edit: I couldn't remember the exact name of the thing...

I cannot seem to find this setting. On mobile it's very annoying having to scroll down forever to get to the latest posts in a thread. Unless i'm missing some obvious way to page down or a link to the last post in a thread?

Microsoft to acquire Xamarin and empower more developers to build apps on any device - The Official Microsoft Blog I'm hoping they remove some of the restrictions for non-paid developers. Time will tell what this will bring... but it could be a big step towards getting more apps on windows phone.

My buddy got one of these for Christmas and I want to get him the coolest app for drawing. What app store does this device use? Doesn't seem like it comes with a stylus... would one of those Wacom stylus deals work with it...

I cannot stand this new UI. It has taken so much away... Been trying to find ways to get the old UI back so i can actually see wtf i'm doing and select updates i want, etc. Registry tricks were disabled by msft... is there any way to do it still?

I checked the Microsoft Store multiple times on friday, a couple times over the weekend, and then again on Monday and from what i could tell they never put it on sale... Best I can find today is $129.95 @ Amazon What's the best price y'all have seen?

I'm only a novice programmer. I have most experience with Python scripts and the Flask web app framework. I want to take some steps towards mobile and multi-platform app development. Ideally I'd like to code in Python but be able to deploy to the Windows 10 Store, iOS, and Android. Looking...

My buddy is getting a DOSbox gaming rig for his daugter set up, and I had a whole slew of educational games that my parents would let me play, and that I really enjoyed. I'm having trouble remembering my favorite one though!! figures... It was all rather mysterious. You were this guy in a...

Just got a GS116NA for my home network. Its transformer on the power plug hums pretty loudly, changes pitch and everything when it's working. Is this a bad power supply or is this normal? Am i going to ruin my switch with this thing?

She's on a tight budget and looking for gaming/school. Everything I find has some silly flaw, like only 2gb of ram, a crappy 5400 rpm hdd, i7, or a poorly laid out keyboard. But then they'll waste money on an i7 for a gaming branded laptop. Just weird, unless I'm missing something...

Buddy just showed me this.. it's a silly amount of fun. http://agar.io/

I've read lots of comments around here regarding this thing or that thing being released and the impact it will have on component prices. I'm sure most of it is speculation, but does anyone have a guess as to when new video cards or processors will be released this year? I ask so i can better...

So I'm working on a production server at work to host a python/flask application I'm writing. We just got a new Windows 2012 R2 server, so I figured I'd use a Hyper-V VM to play around with this. From what I read online, I should use Ubuntu + Nginx + uWSGI for hosting my application...

Here's another situation that I went into thinking it'd be easy, but then came across roadblock after roadblock along my way. Most web forms nowadays have nifty input fields for phone numbers where you type in the numbers and it automatically fills in the parenthesis around the area code, a...

Got into work today and our AD server was not authenticating people correctly. When trying to check it out, it was slow as shit. Did a reboot and noticed that the Raid 1 we have said Degraded, and one of the drives was Unavailable. Everything came up fine, but I need help handling this...

Someone said at work today, "let the stockings hit the floor, let the stockings hit the floor, let the stockings hit the....... FLOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!" which made me thing of this old WoW video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaCfvgtiMHU Took me a bit to find it, but I did and I smiled :)...

I'm trying to get my application to display times correctly to users depending on their choice of timezone, like how this forum works. Using pytz (a python timezone module) seems wildly popular as a way to create and assign timezone objects for easy conversion from UTC, which is how I store...

I just got a new TP-Link router based on suggestions I read here. Set it all up, and it's been running great. However, today I noticed that I can't rdp into my home pc any longer. Try to log in to the router admin page when I got home from work, and it turns out my pass, which i've used for ages...

Is there a way to force a program's audio to stop when you minimize it? Been googling all sorts of stuff and can't seem to find anything on the subject. Thanks!

This has got to be the most random problem I've ever experienced with a computer. The numpad 3 on my keyboard has stopped working. No matter, right? I'll just replace the keyboard. Figured it was all good until last night when I noticed that the numpad 3 doesn't work on this other keyboard...

I've never used a huge monitor before. My old GTX 460 was enough to game at 1920x1200, but this 27" monitor is like 2560x1440. Games are pretty much MMO's (WoW, SWtoR, ESO)

Here's the deal-- I just got a new laptop and it has 8 on it. I've never used it before, so there's been quite a bit of a learning curve. One of the main things I've noticed though is that the resource usage seems to be so much higher than 7. Either that, OR it's the simple fact that...

I'm looking for a simple and cheap laptop to work on. As cheap as possible under 300 dollars. I'll be using it for programming and web-browsing, so not much is really needed. A 10-key would be nice. I figured that this weekend would be the time to get one with all the deals going on. I...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a laptop for my buddy's shooling. He's in engineering and so he'll be running fancy programs which calculate math shit. He doesn't really care about monitor size or weight. He just wants something under $700, with good processing power, and it must have a 10-key...

I just saw this on Steam last night--I had no idea they were making another Worms game. I always felt that Worms 2 was the best because of all the ways to customize each weapon, along with the map editor. Worms IMO has kinda been like CoD. Lots of rehashes without much new content. In...

When I first started working at this small business, we were deploying a bunch of XP workstations. Our Active Directory guy had an image on our server, and used a BartPE boot disk to push the image. This shit was tight. Fast forward to now--I just got the authorization to purchase a bunch of...

Does anyone know if it's possible to pipe a video signal through to the lcd of a smartphone? For example, from a dvd player. Or an xbox rca connections. or Any connection, really.

I'm just curious if anyone has found a cool turn-based mobile game. Something like HOMM or Shining force, or FF Tactics, Kings bounty, etc.

Hasn't been going on long, as I just started noticing this bug this week i think. Seems to be related...

Most of you are probably familiar with these bad boys: http://files.scottyshideout.com//files/1/WP_20130620_001.jpg It's a shame they started making cheaper keyboards... the ones they send with new dells are pieces of shit now in comparison. The tall keys, simple layout... i really do like...

I purchased my first external HDD about a week ago because it was a killer deal. 35 bucks or something (after rebate) for an ADATA CH11 1tb USB 3.0 HDD. This thing has been nothing but a pain in the ass to use. I don't believe it's faulty, as it works fine when it works... but I have had...

Okay--i'm hoping this will be an easy question for you guys.. nslookup has no errors, so it appears that this record is working as intended, i just can't figure out why it looks different from all the others! Maybe i'm too OCD to work with this shit... Here's some screens (windows SBS 2003)...

It's bizarre to me that i have this problem pretty often, and yet google has absolutely nothing on the subject. I have a couple network printers set up at work, and they usually work just fine. However, on the odd day (like today), they'll start acting up. What they do exactly is receive...

This is something I'm always struggling with at work. We put in new Win7 workstations with new widescreen monitors, and they're always complaining about things being too small. The windows font-size adjuster only effects certain text sizes in various programs... it is never an adequate...
