I recently got a brand new computer. Everything was fine until I plugged my electric guitar into my amp. When I switch on my guitar amp (guitar speaker) I can hear a weird noise. It sounds like the noise that that goes through your speakers when you put your mobile phone next to it.
There is nothing wrong with my guitar or guitar amp and I didn't have any similar problems with my old computer. Can anyone help me?
I have some machines with RHEL4 Nahant Update 6.
Oddly, I found that passwords longer than 8 digits are not stored.
So if I had a password 1ABCDEa!, and I changed it to 1ABCDEa!1ABCDEa! I could still log
in to the machine with theold password.
This machines use NIS authentication, but other machines with Red Hat 5 which use the same NIS server allow login ONLY with the NEW password (16 digits long...)!
Windows Vista introduced ReadyBoost which lets you use a Flash drive as a third (after RAM and HD) type of memory.
It occurred to me that I could boost peformance on an old PC here w/ Win XP (32 bit, max'd at 4GB RAM) by putting it's swap file (page file) on a flash drive.
(Now, before anyone comments: apparently Flash drives (10-30MB/s transfer rates) are slower than HDD (100+ MB/s) (I'm asking that as a separate question on this forum).
I'm planning to use OpenVZ in an old machine I have at home.
I want to know if a dumped OpenVZ instance image can be exported to other formats (like VirtualBox or Vmware).
Thanks!
I have many large Word 2007 documents containing a few dozen equations each. Is there a way to locate the equations using Word's Find command, or do I have to hunt for them old-school?
I tried searching for a graphic (^g) and and field (^d), but that didn't do the trick. Am I missing something obvious? Might there be a way to do this using VB or some other trick?
I have some old classic asp scripts. They used to work on my 2003/IIS 6 server. But on my Vista/IIS 7 and now Windows 7 Ultimate/IIS 7 server the asp pages don't work.
I did what they said here: Deploying a Classic ASP Server (IIS 7) (Microsoft TechNet).
I enabled those 3 features in IIS 7 but that just went from getting 404 to 500 error.
My 9 month old 256GB Samsung SSD is now reporting the following SMART failures:
Rsvd_Blk_Cnt_Chip FAILING NOW 184
Available_Reservd_Space FAILING NOW 20
Can anyone explain the meaning of these two attributes that appear to be failing (Rsvd_Blk_Cnt_Chip and Available_Reservd_Space?
Also, also aren't SSDs much more immune to these types of failures?
Everything seems to be working fine now, but I'm fearful of a looming failure.
I got this old box with windows xp home. It works perfectly, except the occasional blue-screen when shutting down the machine.
How long should I expect this, or any, machine to work, when will the hardware start failing and should I worry about silly things like upgrading the os?
What is the TTL on HW you purchase today?
We have an old VB6 application, written in the UK, which we want to run on a client's server in Canada. The application must have some hard-coded date formats in it somewhere, as it's misinterpreting dates, eg, 6th April is getting recorded as 4th June. I know I could change the user's date format, but this would affect all applications. Is it possible, perhaps with some sort of wrapper script, to set specific regional settings for this single application?
I really hate the feature in Windows 7, that it verifies before copying any files whether the files fit to the destination drive. I have a pretty old MP3 player and I want to just select n songs and drag & drop them to the player, and copy as many files of the selection as possible. Windows 7 refuses to copy any of the files if all of them don't fit to the destination drive.
How can I disable this annoying behaviour?
In the following output of df -h you can see that i have added a new hard drive(/dev/hdd1) and have mounted as /hdd1.
My question is if I start dumping data to /opt will that data be mounted in /hdd1 or /
My goal is to utilise the new hdd1 instead of old disk(/dev/sda3).
How can this be done?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 442G 312G 12G 86% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 194M 57M 128M 31% /boot
/dev/sdb1 1.7T 201M 2.6T 1% /hdd1
In MS SQL 2005, is it possible to find out which tables/columns are being used either as keys in another table, or as part of a stored procedure?
The reason is I'm trying to clean up some old stored procs and tables, some of which can be removed, some of which can have columns pruned. But obviously I don't want to remove stuff which is being used.
I set up a new hire in our domain in exchange. When he arrived yesterday I discovered his name had been mispelled. I deleted his account and created a new account with proper spelling. The problem now is his old email address is being being suggested whenever anyone types in his first name. Users email the bad address get a bounce and create more help desk tickets. Is there a way to update exchange or purge the bad account?
I just switched hosts and now have the task of reinstalling everything. I'm on CentOS now and I need to install mysql but have no idea which package to install. I can't seem to find any info on the differences either. Would anyone know? Yum is not an option as it wants to install 1.0.77 and this is too old. The machine is 64 bit.
I am trying to figure out the number of 8K page i/o capacity for a disk subsystem. The drives are SATA 7200 RPM - 4 drives in a RAID-5 configuration. I am not sure about the SCSI controller but the server is about 5 years old.
I have a question about domain joining workstations. We just upgraded Exchange and AD to a new server. I want to know how I join these old workstations to the new domain controller and preserve all the users documents etc.
In other words I don't want to create another user account on the workstations.
Thanks for all your help.
On my old XP machine I would simply copy short-cuts into the %userprofile%\SendTo folder.
On Windows-7 this folder is hidden, and I don't have access to it (which surprised me, it is MY SendTo folder after all).
Is there an "approved" way of adding to my Send To menu that I'm unaware of?
Or do I need extra permissions from our Sys Admin?
Thanks

I'm using a client side RSS reader and turn on my PC at night. But some RSS feeds publish only a limited number of entries and old entries are removed from the feed. So sometimes I can miss entries.
In order to avoid that, I want to cache feeds on some web service. Is there something like it? Although I know server side readers like Google Reader solve this problem, I still like client side readers.
iTunes is stuck showing old episodes that are no longer in this feed (2010-12-16 to 2010-12-22).
http://www.catholic.com/audio/podcast/podcaster.php
The actual feed looks fine. I've tried unsubscribing, deleting, adding the feed via Advanced-subscribe to podcast, through the store (which also shows the latest episodes), etc. But for some reason it seems itunes has a cached version of the feed which it refuses to update. Any ideas?
The main file shares on our network are currently hosted by old Apple XServes. I had planned to replace some of these with Windows shares as I have better hardware available but have been told this is likely to cause issues with some of our Mac users.
What sort of issues am I likely to run into and what are the recommended ways of hosting general file storage in a mixed OS (Windows, OSX, occasionally linux) environment?
According to the TechNet docs the closest one I can see is the "Worker process restarts". I can see a new w3p.exe process being created and theold one being displosed but this counter doesn't seem to increment.
Is there another one that I should be using?
Let say I have foo.bar domain, and I force the user to use the https over http.
The question is as browsers just accept and load the forwarded/new page(when the request for http://foo.bar - https://foo.bar), does the google bot(or other search engines) accept the forwarded page and index the new page and just ignore theold page?
in other word, does search engines accept https beside the http?
thanks in advance.
I've noticed several articles that have claimed that QEMU is slower than VirtualBox (without hardware assistance) but several are years old, and the newest seemed to be from last year.
Is it true that QEMU is slower than VirtualBox?
If so why?
Are there any tricks to close the performance gap?
Some of my host systems do not have virtualization support so I'm especially interested in performance tips that work without the kernel module.
