    Question about ASP.NET impersonation

    I have a Win 2003 Server box on which I am trying to install SQL Reporting Services. The install is failing, as it is trying to change permissions for the web services account. SQL RS is using the ASP.NET account for its web service account, however that account does not seem to be valid (the...

    Well this Monday morning sucks...

    Woke up to a solid sheet of ice on everything outside this morning. Took a good 10-15 minutes just to get enough ice scraped off my car to be able to see. Then the drive to work took about twice as long as usual. Cars were slipping on the roads and getting stuck trying to go up hills, it was...

    Poll: Will you donate for the NYT Firefox ad?

    Spread Firefox A $30 donation ($10 for students) gets your name in the full page Firefox ad in the NY Times (with about 5600 others so far), although I would do it more to support Firefox, not to just get in the paper. All contributions go towards the ad campaign launching the 1.0 release...

    Ideas for data security on network...

    I would like to set up some encryption system for a small LAN. I only need to encrypt a few files, but those files need to be shared by a number of users. The network is a Win 2k3 Server domain. I was thinking of simply creating an encrypted folder on a data partition on the file server, but I'm...

    Minneapolis is the best place to sleep!

    Minneapolis is Best City For Sleep I think it has more to do with everyone being a big puss and going to bed early instead of going out. Bar time is only 2am, for cryin' out loud (and was only 1am until last spring :thumbsdown: ). And this in the city with the second largest university in...

    YACarT

    When dealers have monthly lease payment incentives (like "$239/mo for 36 month lease" or something), is the advertised lease payment actually what you pay every month? Or are there a lot of taxes/fees/other costs that get added on? Never leased a car before, and I was thinking about doing it...

    Question about FF Chronicles...

    I picked up FFC last week, since FF IV and CT are two of my favorite games (yea, I know I'm behind in the times). But isn't FF IV supposed to have some new CG scenes? I am getting pretty far in the game, just got Edge in my party, and I have yet to see a CG scene (other than the opening scene on...

    Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains

    Just returned from Les Claypool's new side project with Buckethead. Man, those guys are amazing. Claypool is absolutely the most insane bassist I have ever seen, and Buckethead is a great guitar player, much better than I have previously thought. I haven't picked up the album yet, but the...

    Debating politics is frustrating

    I have been trying to make some intelligent posts over in P&N. I have tried to be accepting of others' stances, and have always made my arguements as logically as possible, without resorting to emotionally-charged attacks or slander. And what do I get from it? A 1 rating, most likely from...

    Question about online sports betting...

    So I'm going to start betting on sports online, since I feel I could make a few bucks each month. Nothing too major. But I was wondering how you pay taxes on this income? I assume you just declare it on your 1040s, since I wouldn't get a W-2 or anything. And would the IRS even notice if I didn't...

    Long network login time for Win2K

    I have a Win2K machine that takes a loooong time to log in to a Windows 2K Server domain. After 5-10 minutes at the "logging on..." screen, the desktop will finally come up, and everything seems normal. However, if I unplug the network cable before or during the log on, it boots up normally (<1...

    PCMCIA card = frozen system

    My friend has a Dell Inspiron 4150 running XP Home. Whenever she tries to insert a Linksys Wireless G PCMCIA card, the OS immediately freezes. If we try to boot with the card inserted, Windows freezes at the loading screen. If we reboot enough times it occasionally works, but it doesn't seem...

    Illustrator 10 or CS?

    I'm about to buy Adobe Illustrator to do some print graphic designs. The newest version, CS, just came out and I haven't really seen any reviews of it. Has anyone used it? How does it compare to Illustrator 10? Adobe claims more advanced text functions in CS, which would be even better for...
