Reply to Are people listening to extreme music brighter than common people? in Community WinCustomize Forums

When I was younger my dad assured me that when I grew up and matured I would listen to Country (instead of Metal). Guess I never grew up or matured. At 40 I still listen to it all the time. So instead of arguing about music with my kids about music tastes, like my dad and I did, my boys and I crank up the metal together! On Fridays when I need to get everything wrapped up for the week, I like to crank up some Korn. It clears everyone out, I get my paperwork finished, and I l

I've had good luck with some store brands (Staples, CompUSA) that were on sale. It's a crapshoot who they may have had do the actual manufacturing, so I guess I just got lucky with some of them.

Geez! You still running those? I thought they died years ago. Well,not the hardware. Macs never die,they just retire. Yeah, we don't like to jump into all this fancy-shmancy newfangled OSX stuff too quick now..... Actually it's more a case of supporting the platforms our customers use, and a few of them still run OS9, so we have to keep a couple systems to run the same versions of the apps they're running. We're a printing company with customer

We had over a hundred Win2K desktops, and a few servers, that we updated using the Intelliadmin tool. We used PSTools to push it across the network, and then manually updated the ones that didn't respond. Of course the XP and 2K3 machines went off fine. The OS-X workstations updated with the latest Mac patches. A couple OS9 machines remain to be manually patched.

You're going to run into a little bit of a trade-off of screen size versus performance to stay in your price range. Looking at Dell's selection there are only two 17" models, and both of those come with only a half-gig of RAM and draw from that for the graphics. If you drop to a 15.4" screen, you can get a 2GB of RAM, a Core2duo processor, and a 120GB hard drive, as well as the ATI mobility graphics. <a href="http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_inspn_e1505?c=us&cs=19&l

To anyone using an older version of Windows, you'll have to manually patch for the 2007 Daylight Saving Time change. (Well, at least if you're in the US) The IntelliAdmin patching tool seems to work well. WWW Link

Reply to Leave and NEVER come back. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Some time ago I read an interesting article (I have no idea where, or I'd provide a link) that contrasted the views of girls and women in Japanese culture versus Western culture. The gist was that in Japan, the image of the young girl, particularly the schoolgirl, is idolized. Even grown women will dress themselves to look the part and, more interesting, go out of their way to act like a schoolgirl. (ie: silly, chatty, etc...) This is considered to make a woman more attractive and desir

Kind of ironic that the two who left because WC was hosting images they found too provocative still have their work posted on deviantart, which hosts much more racy images than anything you'll find here. Wasn't referring to you, Boopish. Sorry to see you go, though.

Reply to PC or mac in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Mac is build from Linux Close, OS-X uses a lot of Unix code, more specifically Darwin from FreeBSD. But Linux is very closely related to Unix. (Hard-core penguin worshippers will tell you that it's actually GNU-Linux. The GNU standing for: "GNU's Not Unix." ) I am mostly a Windows guy, but I have been playing around with OS-X a litle bit to try an get a better idea of how to work on them, and to

Problem with Security Time-out and Multiplicity in Multiplicity WinCustomize Forums

I am trying out Multiplicity on my set up at work, and for the most part it it great. The only real problem I run into is when the Security time-out locks the screen(s) The time-out is 10 minutes of inactivity, and is set by the Domain, so I can't over-ride it locally, and I sure can't modify the policy for everyone just to suit me. Here's what happens when the screen locks: Hit C-A-D to bring up the login screen, and type password on primary PC Hit C-A-D again
