    For those of you wanting to use Java in Safari - It was blocked today

    So Apple updated Xprotect again this morning and caused a bunch of angry teachers at work. Of course there isn't a new enough version of Java out yet to actually update to... Not sure on a quicker fix than this but I deployed this to a thousand machines today to get grading going again for...

    They couldn't and that's why they accepted and also what makes this so ridiculous.

    Alternatives to the Sony 24-70mm F/2.8(cheaper)

    Its looking like the 16-50mm from Sony may be the lens I will get. From the example videos I have seen it does a very quiet auto focus in comparison to the Sigma and Tamron

    Alternatives to the Sony 24-70mm F/2.8(cheaper)

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice alternative lens that would get hopefully similar results to this lens. Right now I have the 18-55 kit lens and while it is 'ok' I would love to have something better. I was looking at maybe the 16-80mm f/3.5-f/4.5. I've read great things about the...

    Minecraft server wont serve.......

    If you look in the address bar at the top you can see how to get to that menu. If you add java maybe it will go though? May have to set ports as well. I've never used Windows Server to host a Minecraft server, only linux.

    Pwn2Own 2012: Google Chrome browser sandbox first to fall

    I believe that is exactly why google started offering people money outside of the competition. Because the competitors do not have to release how they did it.

    Sick more often after I started working out?

    I guess I could be, but I don't go more than 3-4 times per week. Normally 2 days of running/stairs/cycling and 2 days of lifting. Maybe my body just needs more time to adjust to that schedule?

    Sick more often after I started working out?

    Not sure if this is just a coincidence but in the last few months I seem to have gotten sick more often than usual. Nothing really more than a cold, but still just oddly often. Around 3.5 months ago I started going back to the gym.

    Oh Macbook Air how I love you...

    This is true. I hated giving everyone the same model laptop as the OP with that screen, I am pretty sure it was something like 70 dollars to upgrade the screen, yet I was told it wasn't necessary. Its just silly having screens with such a low resolution nowadays(unless it;s sub 12")

    AutoMapping network drive per user login

    I know that its possibly to has OS X automatically mount your home folder from active directory. I am not sure what all we had to setup to get that working either. I probably won't have any time in the next few days but maybe once I do have time I can check it out.

    Agreed. Also, many touchpads then have the option to disable the cursor when typing. That should solve your problem.

    Issue launching java applications - Trying to avoid re-install of Win 7

    You are my hero :) It was my fonts. At some point I had found some giant font pack from a few years ago and installed all of them(thousands of them). I had never heard of issues with having too many fonts. I am so glad I do not have to re-install now.

    Issue launching java applications - Trying to avoid re-install of Win 7

    Yeah, I've re-installed Java. Oddly it even happens with one application that has its own java executable that it runs. I have not tried cleaning my registry though. I'll give it a shot though, prob won't hurt.
