My father has asked if i would put together 3 computers for his office. Doesn't have to be something massive, but would like to get 5-6 years out of these machines (hence why i've included an ssd to keep them peppy). I used mwave.com instead of newegg.com since the prices seemed to be overall...

Can SP3 even be installed in Safe Mode?

I have a Panasonic Toughbook that has a dead hard drive. I thought all drives were created equal and i could just throw another one in there. I was wrong and discovered that Toughbooks use 2.5" drives with 5V and 3.3V. Anyone know where i can get one of these kinds?

Circuit boards contain hazardous, heavy metals which makes up the electronic components. Doesn't keep me from taking them apart though:D

Can anyone recommend some thorough reporting tools that get some info such as the last time a user logged on and which computer they logged in from?

I've tried them both in the same directory, and i've tried them in separate directories (just changing the location of the .pl within the form).

I don't know when this stopped working. I just know that it isn't working anymore. Something is weird permission-wise and i can't for the life of me, figure it out. here is what i am troubleshooting with: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="test.pl"> <label>what...

Is there a list of computer games which use more than 1 cpu? Or can anyone think of any games that do.

I found a better way since M$'s registry changes are ridiculous. NetworkAdministrator has a patch for Win9x, NT, and 2000. I just made a wee batch file that applies the fix silently and applied it with Group Policy. I rule!

The Strategy Guide for FSX states explicity that the hardware which FSX was rendered on is so powerful that consumer video cards that become available in 3 or 4 years will be burdened heavily trying to render FSX in full detail.

I have half a dozen LCDs here at the hospital with burn in of the hospital logo which is the desktop background. HP1902 is the model. But when you're a 24/7/365 operation, that's what happens no matter what kind of screen.

Since M$ isn't making a KB928388 for anything W2K related, what are you doing to make sure your Windows 2000 workstations and servers are going to be updated? Flat out, i've been trying to use a combination IntelliAdmin's patch and Group Policy, but i'm not having any luck. How about you?

HP has some grand servers for doing storage, but it depends on the kind of storage. If you can afford to use a SAN with fibre channels get DL580s or ML570s. If not, perhaps get some DL380s which are considerably cheaper, work just as well, they just don't have the capacity and expandablilty of...

We are using more sophisticated programs that pull groups from different OUs and it's just a PITA to recreate groups that already exist. If we go to native mode we can use group nesting and avoid the unnecessary bs of doubling group memberships with security and domain local and universal.

Isn't it true that the switch from mixed to native mode only affects NT4 Domain Controllers and *NOT* NT4 file/application servers? What i'm getting at is that my company thinks it is a bad idea for us to go to native mode since we have 4 NT servers still on the network. They are not domain...
