    Has anyone ever tried two quad-core E5345 in an IBM 9228?

    Got an older 9228 that I'm going to move my ESXI server over to, want to change it up from a dual core Xeon to two quad-core. Need to source out the VRM and the CPUs, I'm looking at the E5345 right now. I see confirmation on the faster X5365 chips working, so I see no reason why the slower...

    ASP/vbscript file download issue with Firefox (Fixed myself, resolution inside)

    I have a script that allows me to serve up files from a local drive via a web interface, without having to share the folder to IIS directly (as in not just making them links). The issue I've run into is that many of these files have spaces in the names, which with Firefox causes the name to...

    SQL View Issue

    I'm trying to create a report showing a break down of sums, specific to dates. The problem is that it's basically two different SELECTS, as the first is based on the date the item was created (then sums based on cases), the second is based on the date closed. Trying to combine them directly...

    javascript window.open() help needed

    I have a site that has a frameset, and several frames. One of these frames hosts a search field that currently does a _blank for a target for the results page. What I'd like is to click something in that search page, and have the page it opens target a frame in the original (opener) window...

    Using XML for report downloads

    Just a quick question/opinion poll on how to use XML. My company has programmed a new reporting API for our clients to use, it offers fairly flexible functionality as far as you can submit query strings or XML to it, receive back either, it pulls multiple reports, etc. One of the reports...

    Need help naming an internal tool

    Just finished writing a very simple tool this morning, just not sure what to call it. It started out as a sort of time clock, at least in my mind, but has been tweaked slightly since then. It's primary use is for people to be able to see who is available, who is on a project/meeting, who is...

    Finally done...I hope.

    I've been writing a functional spec for a project at work for like a month now. Zero guidance from anybody with any knowledge on the project really, and I've never done one before. I've helped on a lot of projects the last few years, been the technical expert mostly, said I wanted to learn to...

    ATOT Effect Needed | Music Contest

    A friend of mine's wife submitted a song to a CBC contest, if she wins she gets to record it for a CD that's being put out by David Suzuki. A lot of big name musicians on it as well, and she's slowly trying to get into the industry so this would be a big help. It requires registration, and...

    Raises

    Here's the background: Our company has a sales team, support team, and development team. There's management all over, but those are the primary parts of the company. We each have "metrics" that are used to measure our performance, but nothing special. I'm in support, we hit our goals...

    Receiving text string via ASP

    I have a situation where I'm pulling a report from an API, and I have two options for a response: 1) The API builds a text file, and I can download/save it. 2) The API will display the text content to the browser directly. I tried number 2 first as I figured it'd be really easy, I...

    VPS vs shared server

    Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I'm curious as to how to compare the performance of two different hosting setups. Currently I'm hosting with Hostgator, on their shared system. Works great for a personal site that's barely used, but now I'm hosting other sites as well, still...

    No power on...try new mobo or new psu first?

    Backstory: Few years ago I bought an ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe off ebay, seemed to be okay when I got it. I was using my SB Audigy at the time, dropped a C2D 1.7ghz and some memory on it, went to town. Year later bought a new rig, gave this to my wife. Took the sound care out, found that...

    iphone Application Programming

    A client of mine is looking to create an iPhone application that's essentially an interactive book. It'd load to a title screen, with controls to go forward/backwards for each page, and on each page have areas that you can touch to hear sounds (it's a children's book he's made). He has zero...

    Addicting Robot Unicorn Attack Game

    Unicorns totally kick ass. Searched for unicorn and rainbow, nothing found. Totally a twitch game (it even says so), but something about a unicorn doing a rainbow dash attack to 80s music is....fun. Best I've done for a total score is like 14k though, I'm pretty bad at it lol.

    ASP compatible WYSIWYG Text Editor

    What I'm looking for is something pretty much like you see here on Anandtech when creating a post. Not quite as robust, as all we need is text formatting, and we'll filter out everything else (it's for product description fields, no links or special code needed or allowed). I've had a bit of...

    Company Christmas Party....FTW?

    Got back from the company party a little while ago, pretty good time overall. Food was okay, but really enjoyed sitting down and chatting with people outside of work, and meeting the spouses that I hadn't already. Great live music too at this place, it was a cover band that did mostly 80s...

    Simple js issue

    I'm trying to remove option values from a standard form, using some javascript. Basically I don't have access to the source of the form itself, and I'd like to show only the options I want. The first part, trimCountry, works fine. The second part, trimProvince, does not, and I suspect it's...

    ASP/SQL issue

    Update: Ignore this, I figured it out. For everybody's amusement though, I was looking for "name" from the posted string, because it's what's used in the database. Stupid me, the HTML form submits it as "login". One minor change and it works perfectly. --------------- Trying to setup...

    Database Design question

    I'm working on a very basic call tracking system at work, so we can specify what kind of calls we're getting throughout the day. I want to make it a branched type of system, so you would have several level 1 options, you select it and go to the level 2 options JUST for the one you chose, then...

    Need help with VBscript/ASP

    I have a script which receives a posted query string from another page, in that string is a field called pageContents, and the value is always url encoded HTML. It's basically a way of sending my script a redirect that I url decode and display to the browser (response.redirect) and push the...

    CDO issue

    Something I had working a few months ago and I can't figure it out now. I'm by no means a real programmer so I'm kind of working by trying here, I'm just trying to get a simple ASP page where you can post variables to it, and have it put them into an email to send out. All I get is: Error...

    Blown Cap = Fiery death.

    Was working on the machine this morning, not doing anything more than checking email. Started smelling something faint, then it got stronger, then my box locked up. I hit reset, and was greeted by a puff of smoke, and a flash of fire near the bottom of my case (below the vid card and above the...

    Rayovac Rechargeable NI-MH batteries

    Walmart is selling 4-packs of AA/AAA Rayovac rechargeables for $5.97 here, I looked up the model numbers for these packs online and they run $10 to $15 easily. I've seen before people on here talk about them being decent batteries, some reason they'd be so incredibly cheap compared to other...

    Merry Christmas to all who serve

    All year long I'm thankful that my brother is in a unit that will likely not see any action ever, but still proud that he serves however he can (He's a Seabee, currently stationed in Guam). For all of those who do serve in places where they're putting life and limb on the line for us, from the...

    Company Christmas Parties rock!

    Our company is pretty small, about 20 people or so. Every year they have a Christmas "party", which is really just a dinner at a local pub/grill. There was 45 people there with our +1 (spouses and whatnot), so we filled up quite a bit of the place. We had our choice of bacon wrapped steak...

    My wife just gave herself a dutch oven

    She decided to crawl under the blankets and cover her head, I'm at the computer, next thing I know she's cursing and throwing the covers off. Serves her right for not chewing her food properly. Also, we just picked up our new Nissan Rogue today, wicked nice mini-SUV if anybody is...

    Looking at new cars

    We have a Mazda Protege 5 from 2003, it's my wife's car, we're looking for something larger now that we have two kids. We're sick of the backseat being useless once we put in the two car seats, and having zero trunk space in it. Plus little things that cost a lot of money keep breaking, like...

    How I Met Your Mother

    This is why I love this show...they mention a random website and they actually exist. If only I wasn't actually a father already, I'd totally go for a "Who's NOT your daddy?" t-shirt.

    Need help with command line curl

    I'm honestly not familiar too much with using curl at all, but I'm stuck trying to troubleshoot this for a pretty big client of ours. Essentially they're trying to use curl on their SunOS based system to access an API of ours, which lets them upload a file with EFT transactions in it to run...

    Ubuntu/Mint

    I have an older box that I was running the free 120 day trial of WHS on, it was alright but I figured I'd just go Linux and be better off with more options. I grabbed Mint and put it on, everything looked good except my wireless card didn't seem to be supported. I think. It's really friggen...

    WHS Setup Issues

    I have WHS setup on an older box, using a wireless connection for now because I don't feel like running more cables yet. I can access the shares on it, move data back and forth, but when I try to run the connector software it just says "The operation was unable to be completed at this time"...

    ASP Help

    I feel stupid for having to ask, but ASP is not something I generally do, it's mostly something I'm playing with to make my job easier. The script below is supposed to display one of 3 messages, depending on how much trnAmount is. Anything under 10.00 works fine and displays message1, but over...

    Exchange server down for the count

    About 2 hours ago a minor power surge caused our office Exchange server to go tits up. It came back online, started to rebuild the database (roughly 30k support and internal emails), and another surge kicked it offline again. Now it's up, but apparantly minus all the emails. Since my job...

    Bitch Slap: The Movie

    This looks incredibly stupid. Even full of girls, guns, and whatever else, I just can't imagine it'll be any good. Now, there is a midget named Hot Pocket in it, and she uses a machine gun. Maybe that'll make the whole thing worth it? Youtube trailer. Edit: Oh, and Kevin Sorbo...

    New HDTV LCD

    It's listed in store for about $1899 (up here in Canada), online was listed at $1499 as a web only special, with shipping of $130. I got the guy in the store to give it to me for the $1499 online only price, minus 10% on top so only $1349. Fairly good deal from what I can see around, just...

    POI downloads for Garmins
