Put 'em in the login-script? Or you could build a SUS server As I recall it will handle 9x, although they only admit to 2K on this page. It is limited though. Won't do full SP's or actual apps.
Anybody have more experience with it?
The article linked to above links in turn to a much better page on Intel's site. It's practically a howto on using this case to build a kick-ass (and quiet) multimedia pc for the living room.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as/.'d yet but I found it painfully slow. Here's the summary from the last page: In conclusion, I find this kit to be very nice. Everything you will need for installation is included in the kit. Instructions are clear and pictures help to get the various points across clearly. Our particular instruction set was sent with the last page or so missing. I have been told that this was a simple error and that retail units ship with the full set of instructions. In the event that your instructions arrive incomplete, you can log on to Swiftech's site and print out your own copy. Installation was a breeze. This was my first time installing a watercooling kit and things couldn't have been easier.
The fill and bleed process was simple as well. The first evening after installation, I noticed a few tiny air bubbles here and there in the system. These have since disappeared and the system is running flawlessly. Swiftech claims that this kit should run maintenance free. This means that you will not have to replace the coolant in your system every six months or so. This task is common among many watercooling users. Bacteria and other agents begin to grow inside the cooling loop. The coolant used in this kit prevents the growth of bacteria and other harmful things.
Those who are looking for a quiet cooling solution for their PC should look no further. The H20-8500 kit provided nice temperatures at a very low noise level. With the case fans removed, the only fans I could hear in the system were those of the power supply. The pump is silent and has given me no problems. It is important to note that you will not receive stellar temperatures with this kit. The kit is designed for those who may have smaller cases and those who don't want to make extensive mods to their cases to accommodate a watercooling setup. The radiator used is quite small compared to others. The quiet fans used to cool the radiator indicate this system is not aimed for top performance. For those who like this kit but would like better performance, one could add another radiator assembly to the mix. Or if you can tolerate the added noise, a more powerful fan on the radiator will help to lower temperatures as well.
The video card block has proven itself nicely. The block is easily mountable to both GeForce cards as well as Radeon cards. This is an added benefit to most users. Mounting procedures for both the GPU block and the CPU block were very easy. Gone from my system is the loud Crystal Orb that used to serve as my GPU cooler. Another great feature about this kit is the fact that you can remove it from your system with ease (but why would you want to?). I would say that within 10 minutes you could have the entire kit out of your computer. The only potential problem I could see with installing this kit would be trying to install the radiator assembly in one of those Chenming or similar type cases that use those purple plastic clips to hold the rear exhaust fans.
Aside from this, I could find no other problems with the kit. The complete kit including the GPU block which we tested here today currently retails for $257.00, this kit is well worth the money. If you feel this kit would make a nice home in your case, head over to Swiftech and pick one up today. Below are a few pictures of the watercooling kit in my case. It appears as if the coolant has a bit of a UV reactive side to it...
I would like to thank Swiftech for supplying us with this review unit.
Has anyone given any thought to moving to India...?
I'm only half joking!
In other news several companies I know who shipped projects overseas gave up after awhile. There were two main problems - communication issues and IP theft.
But, as with any country/industry, it depends on who you deal with.
That's 'cause most sites have a zillion PC's and only one Mac!
But this isn't flamebait, just pointing out the obvious.
For what it's worth Mac's aren't necessarily easy to work on either. I've got a TiBook in pieces right now and it was a royal bitch!
I had a similar challenge a few years ago. Except that we wanted to get into almost a dozen countries!
The biggest lesson we learned from our experience is that one should find a well-established company with a good reputation in that country to partner with.
I could give you a whole list of reasons why, ranging from local name-recognition to political/industrial connections, but believe me, you don't want to do it any other way!
Good luck...
Yeah, and even bigger loads of unemployed programmers trampling down the door to get at them!
Friend of mine just got hired for a position which received over 800 applicants in less than a month! (They threw up their hands at the deluge and went the word-of-mouth route).
Another position I know of recently was very low paying kind of boring crappy little job at a non-profit org. and it got over a hundred resumes before it was even officially available! (At least they saved their advertising $.:)
Not to mention, if you actually bother to read the business section of the news, Seattle has the highest unemployment rate for the tech sector in the whole damn country!
So if you have a job you specifically want to offer the guy, go for it, but don't be leading him on...
1 - I don't watch enough tv to give a damn. 2 - Until we have digital ports in our skulls there will always be an "analog hole" because our eyeballs are analog! Hello?!?
I noticed that the tower used drive rails for installing your 5 ¼" drives, this was my first time using them and I now see their very obvious advantage, quick removal.
This guy's never heard of drive rails and he's a reviewer?!? Egads...
If you look at the picture on the second page where he's sitting in front of his laptop you can see why he's got RSI!
Guy obviously didn't read the little ergonomics flyer that comes with practically everything these days.
"The NY Times is running a story about a paper mill being accused of polluting the air. The city inspector claims the smells are making people sick, however the plant owner retorts, 'This is not a smell that makes people sick... This is one of those sweet smells like receiving a greeting card, opening a present, that's part and parcel of life in every city across the world.' Whatever the case, some people are claiming plastic-smelling fumes coming from the stacks: my only question is what the heck are they putting in this paper??"
Out of curiousity, try unplugging your network cable and see if it will import.
On a separate note, I wonder if this could lead to a class-action suit against Intuit?
I'm going to throw my two cents in here because I had/have really bad ADHD and I've learned to cope with it without drugs.
For me the hardest part as a kid was having to respond to stimuli. E.g. playing in the sand box and a butterfly comes along I had to go chase it. In the back of my head I was thinking "darn it, I wanted to finish that sand castle", but the other 99.9% of my focus had switched completely to the butterfly. And I couldn't control that.
It took me literally years of lying awake at night (i.e. with a minimum of stimuli) to be able to understand how thought process layers worked, how to redirect stimuli to "alternative" processes and how to keep the primary process (i.e. conscious thought) on whatever needed to be concentrated on.
But it never goes away. You just learn adaptive mechanisms and you refine the layers. Even now, 30 years old, much of my day-to-day activities are defined for me by ADHD. Not that anyone can tell nowadays by watching me because they can't tell that even though I'm focused on, say, reading something, I have also noticed and "processed" everything visible outside the window, the fact that the desk is getting dusty, moving cloud shadows, a bird flying by, phones ringing next door and barely overheard conversations.
If anyone has ADHD and is having problems coping, or has kids and needs to be able to explain it to them, let me know. Not only do I have a lifetime of experience with a rather extreme case of it myself but I also have a much younger brother with it who is doing very well without medication simply by becoming educated and by making very slight changes in his daily living.

Clean the mbd's (and other stuff) anyway and see what happens.
Smoke is only slightly conductive. I.e. just enough to totally trash the high-frequency signals a mbd operates at but not enough to actually fry anything....
Throw it in the shower. (Hey, keep reading dammit!) Use the hottest water you can and/or 409 on everything, open up the power supply so it gets rinsed really well, take the shell off the monitor as well. (This is the only dangerous part, the caps can store a charge for several days!).
Then when everything's totally drenched and you're thinking WTF am I doing, shake as much water off as you can. Then grab your handy spray bottle of WD-40 (you can buy the stuff at the hardware store by the gallon). Use the WD40 to drive the water off and to dissolve the remaining crud. Note - do not use WD-40 on the internals of the kbd or mouse!! (You can never get the residue out of the sensors on the mouse and the kbd contacts will actually soak it up! Both bad...)
Then use a gallon or two of isopropyl alcohol (the purer the better) to clean off the WD-40 residue and to finish the kbd/mouse.
Then let everything sit with a fan blowing on it for a few hours to get the alcohol evaporated.
And for about $30 of household chemicals and a couble hours of your time it'll all be clean!
You can also use 100% evaporating electronic cleaner/degreaser instead of all the above but it'll cost 5 times as much and may not get it as clean.

Some third party IDE cards actually have a 40-pin connector on the outside for an ordinary IDE cable. Failing that you can just remove a slot-cover...

Is this a troll, or did you just not understand the question?
How would anything in your answer help him...?!?

The technical answer:

It's a lot more likely that something changed in the way your machine is resolving DNS. Go talk to your netadmin.
The real answer:
Nice Ask-Slashdot troll!
