    Long-ish range repeater

    Hi all, I need to extend a residential wireless network to a building across the street. Currently got a fairly basic router serving out an ADSL connection. My thought was to get a repeater to have a directional antenna on it to transmit to the building across the road. Nice and easy - I can...

    WC - Twin pumps: best positions?

    Hi all, I've got a Reserator 2 which I've found to be a pretty good system. However, I have CPU, GPU and chipset watercooling blocks, so there's quite a lot of resistance. Every so often (curiously, when the ambient temperature in the room is cold) the pump won't really start when I fire up the...

    My Jet Kart

    hey all, how's it going? Further to my previous post I've built my jet kart and I gave it a quick try out last night. Gave plenty of thrust, but unfortunately the mild steel used simply isn't up to the job. Plans are in motion to make a significantly more powerful and more reliable valved...

    Definition of the levels of helpdesk support

    I'm looking to find a pretty in-depth definition of each of the three tiers of help desk support, and examples of roles each perform. Does anyone know of a good example? Essentially I'm having issues with my job definition. It's a small company so I do have to do things like password resets...

    Cannot delete stuck print jobs, tried usual tricks of restarting spooler/deleting contents of Printer folder

    There are two PCs on a domain, one is connected to a USB printer, and is sharing the printer. The second PC had trouble printing, which turned out to be a DNS issue which was solved. I was able to re-add the printer, but it still has two jobs pending delete that prevent any more jobs from being...

    Which CAD software?

    Hi, I'm looking to design a frame and suspension for an off-road buggy. To get things accurate, I was looking to pick up some CAD software. Has anyone used CAD before and if so, what would you reccomend, considering I'm a CAD newbie? many thanks.

    Got my jet engine running at max power :D

    Alright chaps, it's been a while. Further to my previous post back in august, I've made some mods and got my pulsejet back up and running. We did some full power runs right up until it failed. I was really badly hung over, which is why I sound a bit rough. When my mate's dad calls, he's about...

    Defraging all machine in a network, but only those that need it!

    So it looks like PSTools allow you to defrag all the machines, but what if the computer doesn't need to be defragged? It has the analyse option, but doesn't allow for a method ofreacting upon the outcome. What do you guys do to maintain fragmented-free operatoin of your users, and don't say give...

    Outlook calendar: 3 month busy schedule broadcast

    So, outlook here broadcasts 3 months of your free/busy schedule, but being the 31st of the month today does this mean that users can only see appointments up to the end of july? or does it broadcast ~90 days of appointments? that surely would make more sense.... We're still on office 2002, btw.

    Got my jet engine working!

    P!ssed off the neighbour a bit, but totally worth it. To get the full effect, you need to turn your bass up pretty much to the max, and crank your sound system way up. When it's uncomfortably loud, you're maybe 10% of the real volume. Enjoy: pulsejet

    Slim, decent camera reccomendations?

    So I got wasted and dropped the thing right on it's lens onto a tiled floor. I'm fairly gutted, though I bought it back in 2005, have taken it around the world, underwater, skiing, and taken ~3000 pics with it. So what to replace it with? the equivalent model (Z850) or even the 10megapixel...

    Keeping outlook mailboxes small?

    So we have a bunch of users who all have 350Mb mailbox sizes. These are gradually creeping up in size, but upon speaking to the users, they feel they need to keep some old emails and cannot delete them. Expanding mailbox size slows down the responsiveness of outlook and just delays the same...

    I hate sensationalist crap

    Google/other webcrawler

    Using Cedant hosting, it has a search engine optimiser tool that allows you to automatically add meta data to the page code. Weirdly, it doesn't see my .php pages. Is this something that Cedant's code does or is it because google and other web crawlers don't actually crawl php pages and stick...

    A-10 attacking "enemies"

    So... intel says there are friendlies on the ground fairly nearby, but they're not in your area. You can't see these friendlies. Suddenly, you see suspected enemies. These suspected enemies have the bright orange markers on them that friendly vehicles carry. You can't confirm what the vehicles...

    Selling a slightly knackered Suzy Jeep

    So, a mate and I picked up a Suzuki SJ410 for £200 ($390). We did a little work on it (changed plugs, some fresh oil, new HT leads, couple of bodywork patch ups) but it was essentially left outside for a couple of years. Anyhoo, it was at my friend's parent's house and they wanted to scrap...

    Exchange: domain admins can send emails *from* any account.

    I know any domain admin could just go ahead and undo any changes, but at the minute all anyone has to do is go into the views option in outlook and enable the 'from' field. From then on, he can send an email from any account, which just isn't good. Is there a way to prevent domain admins...
