MechWarror 4: Mercenaries (Mektek) - Freeware, better than "Freemium" Get your 'Mech on. http://www.mektek.net/

This is key. I don't mean my guidelines to apply until they're 18+, but I think it's fair to run these rules until 12 or 13. After that they're aware enough to know right from wrong, and you can ease up on the boundaries. If they start screwing around, then you lock down again for a little...

Don't even get me started with my biometric-locked network closet with a sign-in sheet!

If my 9-year-old can use Tor, I'd be mightily impressed. Besides, how can they Tor without Admin privs? More importantly, how can Tor circumvent unchangeable DNS settings? What's important: I'm not talking about locking out some 16-year-old. I think that there comes a point in the teenage...

Oh I don't doubt it, but it'll be locked down tighter than a drum under my roof from day 1. It's not so much spying or controlling or what-have-you. Nothing's stopping those rules from being bent from time to time (You got an A on your homework and this weekend looks like absolutely miserable...

A proper tech-knowledgable parent: - Uses DD-WRT to block off allotted time-frames of Internet access for specific MAC addresses. (Personal: Shared/kids computers get "The Internet" from 8PM-9PM, Mon-Fri, and 7PM-9PM Sat/Sun). - Uses DD-WRT/Firewall to block all ports on restricted MACs to...

"Waaah waaah you won't pay any attention to me even though I won't give you a good reason to!"

Underpaid to the tune of $29,000. :(

Xubuntu.

Alright, I just deployed 9.10 to my workstation (upgrade from 9.04), and on my Asus EEE PC 900a (fresh format). Pros: (EEE PC): Much better boot times! I'm not sure if this is due to Upstart or ext4, but I've gone from 90 seconds to 40 seconds from power-on to login screen. (EEE PC)...

Sysadmin for 250 users. Not rolling out. Mostly because we have lots of PC hardware that doesn't technically meet the requirements, and we're running on an NT4 domain. (Upgrading that to 2008 has a higher rank on the food chain right now).

AAAAH! MOTHERBOARD!!!

Five Five dollar Five dollar foot-LOOOOOONNNNG

Ok. I'm retarded. I got my "Local Domain" and "Local Computer" locals confused. The Local_Groups on the NT boxes are replicating via their local SAMs, and are NOT shown on the entire domain, hence why our new NAS box can't see the permissions - the SAM doesn't replicate to member servers. The...

I'm running a NT Domain here on Windows NT 4. We just set up a new NAS box with 2000, and did an "xcopy /c/h/e/r/k/y/o/x" from the old NT box to the new 2000 box. I then copied the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlSet001/LanManServer/Shares" key from the NT box to the 2000 box. All the shares are now...

Hi folks, I'm running Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.1, and I've got a bit of a problem. It appears that Thunderbird will not open links with Firefox 3.0.1 no matter what I try. I've tried setting these settings: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp"...

My wife's laptop (C2D T2080, 1GB RAM) came with Vista and it was the slowest thing I've seen in a while. Seeing as her chipset didn't run DX10 at all well, and she had no desire to play games on it, I took the time and effort to find compatible drivers to roll her back to XP Pro. Now it's zippy...

Do I care if they keep selling it? No. Do I care if they keep supporting it? Hell yes. I'm running a non-profit organization of 50-odd computers. Less than half just got "upgraded" to 3.2 GHz Intel HTs. Most are still sub 2.0 GHz with 1GB or less of RAM. We cannot afford upgrades at the...

If my dad called me about cron jobs and kernel recompiles I'd have to reach through the phone and slap him for picking up another "Idiot's" book and only looking at the glossary. You're on WINDOWS you nutjob!

No GP2X? I'm disappointed.

I got a good laugh at this: How's that card-reading job working for you, scumbag? It's one thing to report an illegal DDoS to a company and get that kid in trouble. It's another to start threatening the usergroup at large, claiming you have access to their credit card info, personal info...

But have they made a bid for Will Robinson yet?

I'd like to see an official itemized list of expenditures to show exactly where my $50-$60 is going. I can't help but feel that developers are getting the RIAA treatment where they only get ten cents on the dollar. When packaging changes are made to save money, but the consumer doesn't get the...

Don't mess with those Klingons, man.

ActiveX needs to die a painful death. My university uses Track-It! as their main helpdesk software, including Track-It! Web Server, which is written with ActiveX in mind. That made my forced-jump to Kubuntu impossible, because even when running Internet Explorer 5.5 in Wine, the ActiveX portion...

It's a lightcycle! :D

NOW GET OFFA MY LAWN!

I'm using Outlook 2003 on an exchange server, on Windows XP. I've been using the archive feature for a while now, with no problems until now. Apparently, when I run the archive command, it'll archive everything except what's in my Inbox (including subfolders). I've tried...

Whaaaat? Does this mean you can take the courses and get the credits for free, but you have to pay $XXXXX to get the degree?

.01% is still nearly 12,000 people that will be VERY unhappy that they got the illegal shaft.

Thank God my wife doesn't know about [H]ardOCP.

It's not fear. I just want a piece of the pie.

On the one hand, I'd be very upset that they're doing this. On the other hand, suing them would only open up a loophole for people to sue about Google Maps and things, because effectively they do the same thing.

Dan_D After you turn vampiric, you must complete a quest to remove vampirism by speaking to the count of Skingrad, IIRC, about a cure. He'll send you off to the middle of nowhere where there's a witch who will ask you for 5 Greater Soul Gems. Once you give them to her, she will attack you...

Hey everybody, I just went dual screen with my single GeForce 6600GT. I was told there'd be a bit of a performance hit (around 20FPS), but nothing really to cry about. What I have here is almost agonizing. I went from 60FPS in EVE Online to a meager 16FPS. Did I do something wrong? I had...

QuickChanger is also a spiffy tool that'll do the same thing, plus it gives thumbnail previews and hotkeys for fast switching on the fly.

Hey all, I've finally decided, after purchasing myself a replacement 865 board (My D865GLCL croaked a while back from a power surge :( ) to take the dive and OC my CPU. Here's what I have: (From CPUZ) Intel Pentium 4 2.6C Northwood Family F Model 2 Stepping 9 Rev D1. On a MSI...

I use Outlook in Office 2003 at work. Does the trick just fine as our Exchange server has its own junk mail filtering on top. At home, I use Thunderbird 1.0.7

I personally use LiteStep for all my custom desktop needs. It's low resource and relatively hassle-free to use. http://www.litestep.net To get that funky animated object bar, you can use ObjectDock. It's free as well. http://www.objectdock.com/ WindowBlinds is another one, but...
