    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Thanks again! I quit my job at Seton a few months ago, but I got many of my desktop support coworkers, including the head Desktop Engineer, using this. This really is awesome. If I end up at another job (doubtful--I quit so I could go back to school) and I'm using your program, you can...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    This is a big request, but would multiple connections per single window (even if multiple instances run, hidden, in the background) be too large of a pain? SCCM's implementation takes up too much real estate when retaining aspect ratio for large resolutions is at play. Tabs would be handy...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Thanks for the new release. The OU browser is great! We did run into an error where it said "over 6666 devices", and it failed to display all of them. Is there any way around this? The "prompt user" doesn't seem to be working. Along with the OU browsing, is there any way to allow connecting...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Yeah, we run on a different port, I believe, but because Remote Control doesn't work, but GenControl does, I figured it wasn't a c$ access issue. Is that accurate? I'm not entirely certain if GenControl looks for a server first, or not. I guess, while I'm at it, we're all on the same...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Muad, is there a way to add the ability to have a fallback option that can be filled in to attempt to connect to a system? For instance, I can't connect to systems which already have TightVNC running as a service GenControl reports that a VNC service is "already running", while RemoteControl...

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    Is there any chance of packing the exe differently, to save size? Is UPX a viable option?

    need GenControl alternative for Windows 7

    This has been excellent for many months, and the "prompt user" worked when initially implemented, but with 1.6 it no longer works. Thanks for a great program!

    A Closer Look at RIAA's Sales Numbers

    I'd love to see someone make a chart which plots sales for other trusts in the same timespan to see if there's any relevance. I'm sure there are plenty of MPAA haters out there as well, but according to this article, it seems like the RIAA is still just plain whining if the MPAA suffers from...

    Dear fellow [H]'ers, I have been volunteering with my best friend and roommate at the Rainforest Partnership (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) in Austin, TX, as he completes his required year of pro bono attorney work. They need lots of IT help, so he asked if I could volunteer and I've...

    Windows 7 stuck in safe mode - "please wait"

    Wow, after the 10 minutes it took to type with one hand, it finally booted up successfully into safe mode...it just had to sit for a good 15 minutes. I let it sit for many minutes because I've run into a similar problem before, but t never took more than 4-5 minutes to boot. Thanks anyway if...

    Windows 7 stuck in safe mode - "please wait"

    I may have screwed the pooch here by doing too many things at once, but I hope y'all have some ideas. The end result is that I'm stuck in safe mode, at "Please wait...". Windows 7 Professional x64 1) installed patch tuesday updates for 2010-08-10, postponed reboot 2) disabled the page file on...

    [PROJECT] "The blank.box"

    Ok, that is just nuts how you shaved off the rounded bumps from that block. It really looks OEM...actually, the black and copper look better because I prefer your finishing process over the original. I'm absolutely amazed. I've seen lots of custom work over the years on here and in CPU...

    Problem: external power supply for fan

    Thanks, Bill. I don't have access to it (he and I are in different states), but your thoughts on jumpering #2 to #3 are what I had. Yeah, I'll take into account the chance of a different vendor using their own standards, but the principle theory is what I'm targeting. =]

    DRM is Dead, RIAA Says

    I don't know what triggered this thought a couple of weeks after this article was posted. Didn't hardocp post a news article, before this one, about Steve Jobs openly asking for DRM to be disbanded, and if that happened, apple would stop using their freeplay (whatever it's called, I don't use...

    Lasers Replacing Spark Plugs

    Unless you live in Oregon, of course! I was very bothered by their law, so when traveling across the country I topped-off at the Washington-Oregon border and was hoping to make it through to California without needing to fill up...worked out very well! =]

    Lasers Replacing Spark Plugs

    Sounds intriguing, indeed. And, WOW, those punks were difficult to replace. Their supplemental dumb idea was putting in that painfully-underpowered motor...fortunately it's a spare car and not a daily driver.

    “Find My iPhone” Tracking Can Be Turned Off

    Everyone seems to be looking at this from the mirrored side of a one-way glass window. I don't think the only use of this feature is for when someone steals the phone. When I've misplaced my phone, I often can't remember if it's in the house, at a friend's house, a restaurant, or elsewhere...

    Apple Approves Of Shaking Babies

    I'm curious to know how many people that dislike this app, "think its horrible", "is awful", etc, play video games that involve shooting another person, driving dangerously on city roads or highways, or anything else you can come up with. It's no different than any other violent game or game...

    Should You Buy Blu-ray?

    Oh yeah, let alone seeing rainbows on LED DLPs and the LaserVue, and what I call the jigsaw-effect of every 960x1080 single-chip DLP RPTV.

    Should You Buy Blu-ray?

    Wow that excerpt is awful. Anyone who knows home theaters in the slightest knows that just because your set is "1080P" and you have a dvd player with a HDMI cable, doesn't make high-def content superfluous--my BD-P2550 makes my SD-DVDs look damn good, all due to the Reon; certain Blu-Ray discs...

    $17k Blu-ray Player

    Bose has to be one of the best marketers, regardless of the product; people should avoid getting a related educational degree and just work at Bose for a few months...make money AND learn the tools of the trade. ;)

    Crazy Wii Remote Tech Support Call

    Right on--it is standard procedure. It's not the first option we used, but it was of many things to try before sending a remote replacement. Also, the production cost of the remote compared to its MSRP (and the production cost of the Wii compared to its MSRP) made it more detrimental to...
