I own a 244T... about 1 month now. I love it. No dead pixels. No backlight issues. The text/fonts look great on docs, html, spreadsheets etc. The whites are bright but not annoying. I can easily sit for hours on end working with no fatigue. No ghosting on games (that I can tell). I am a casual...

I would take a T1 over DSL... Although DSL may offer better bandwidth/throughput(or user perceived 'speed'), a T1 will offer a much higher degree of lower actual speed(latency - response) and overall quality of service. T1s come with an SLA (service level agreement) and are bound to Federal...

I thought Al Gore invented the Internet...? :p Actually, the US military & DoD invented the internet so that the military Generals would still have access to pornography in the event of a nuclear war -- Wes Borg

Don't waste money on a desktop pc. Shop eBay! I would go for a Compaq Proliant 1850r - Dual PIII, 1 GB ECC Ram, Dual Power supplies, Raid controller with 2 drives. Easily found with the above stuff for under $600. This was a workhorse server years ago, and there are tons of them out there so...

Most Westell gear is: admin password Although, if pre-configured from the ISP, you may have to perform a full reset to get back to the original config. dslreports has westell forum if things aren't working correctly.

Your specs say 4GB physical RAM. 1. Memory fragmentation? Are you running with the recommended /3GB /USERVA=3030 kernel boot switches with your current physical memory? Have the Dump Heap Stack registry configurations for 4 GB physical RAM been set? 2. Get your DB and Logs off the Sys...

from my point of view as of today... (this stuff changes really fast). 1080p support is getting some buzz; Bluray HD DVD and native HD format. how the Dell will handle 1080p I am not sure; upsampling? but, the buzz seems to be about 1080p. As a plasma alternative; the brand new Samsung...

Hello Geek Squad, my internet connection seems a little slow...

I would hold off... let your dlls settle in for a week or two. You don't want to get that "waxy windows build up"

Google was once the love child of the geek culture.. "do no evil" meant something. Now that they are a publicly traded company, they have a board of directors and stock owners to please. Everything from here on out is about $money$ and more of it! Whatever privacy lines they decide to ride or...

From my perspective: A college degree in computer science has always led one down the developer road. Back when I was in college there were no sys admin type courses. It was all applied computer language development. Today, I am aware of Masters and Doctorate course in IT Business Management...

We tested Barracuda, while nice, it couldn't do inbound and outbound at the same time. Barracuda told us to wait for upgrades to the OS, or buy two... it may not be an issue anymore. Our current running setup; VamSoft ORF on the gateway doing Directory filtering, blacklist/whitelist, and...

Amen to that! But Microsoft is only half of the problem. Intel is also supporting all of this Big Brother stuff with the Fritz chip & Palladium movement etc. We just installed a new HP server that has the deny code execution chip available. If enabled, Windows Server 2003 w/SP1 will only allow...

Using vbscript with wsh & logon scripts you can create the outlook profile for your users. See TechNet or one of the MS Windows Script Host books... Or, something like: http://goff.nu/products/windows/profiler/overview.html does it for you... ...if you are comfortable with basic logon...

Huh? me no understand... please clarify for me? Fiber + pair of media converters like Allied Telesyns etc, provide power, a network connection, and access to the interweb if already available from his network. :eek:

From what I can tell.. current DVDs etc won't be affected. Its the new High Definition DVDs and 1080i content starting to roll out that conform to this protection crap. For all the pieces to work with DRM the host OS aka Windows Longhorn has to support it. Without a "compliant" monitor, it...

It appears that the DRM (digital rights security) movement has muscled into Monitor technology. Windows Longhorn supports this technology for Monitors Its called - PVP-OPM (Protected Video Path – Output Protection Management). The Dell 2405FPW does not support this hooey.... It translates...

I have used the POP3 connector from GFI to pull user e-mail from external servers into an Exchange server with success.

Those are generic service host processes. You would need a service/process explorer to drill down and see who/what has launched or owns the process. The are few free apps from Sysinternals that do this.
