heres a little story....RIM put out a DST patch that is supposed to be applied wirelessly to all our government clients. Low and behold it works just fine..for some...
Certain models and providers (we have telus for the ones that are dying) and the error is Data Error -Abort reset...you have to physically take the blackberry and wipe it and reloaded the OS (application reload) using an app that is specific to each model/provider.
This happenned with my boss in another country and he is convinced the blackberry is no good even though it just needs a reset and reload. He has demanded a new one and will not accept that it just needs a reload, he says it is faulty and garbage and wants a new one (same model and specs and everything just refuses to use the old one).
We have a client who is very hard on equipment.... his memory stick which was some noname thing he got in asia wouldnt work in the toughbook (we gave it to him for internet browsing as he is hard on equip,,,no one can break this right?) long story short he "tapped it into the usb slot" turns out he had it upsidedown...and tapped it in with a hardcover book or something...we had to strip the toughbook apart and solder on a new usb port we stole from an old laptop
I have a dual core X2 3800 AMD with 2 gig of DDR...top of the line....over a year ago, now its pretty average on any pc you might pick out from staples , office basics or walmart.
Going from xp to vista i noticed a huge performance increase with the same hardware. Once NVIDIA gets off their ass and releases non beta drivers for motherboard and video im sure ill have some decent SATA performance as well. As it stands, its already much faster than xp for load times and frames per second (battlefield 2142)
funny you should ask, i got a reply back a few days ago from some people at bethsoft in regards to Fallout 3

folks know when we have some information to share on the game and its
development. Thanks for your interest in Fallout 3. Please continue

3. F1 and F2 were 2 of my favourite games and I would preorder this in

it is on your website anymore....under in development.

I've recently had one done. Mine is done by the CSIS/RCMP for all federal government positions (for the military)
they will ask for where you lived for 10 years, where you worked, their bosses names, your landladys names, your neighbours names, family members, where they work, who their bosses are, and these people WILL be visited one on one. criminal history, financial history, everything is under scrutiny.
they will ask you personal questions they know the answer to just to see if you change your story (or if you have a story). This is done each time for a renewal.
sorry but in Ontario, it is taught to flash high beams when approaching an oncoming car to pass in poor lighting conditions, i guess they had it wrong on my drivers test when i took my motorcycle test (you have to redo the car part even if you have a full licence, to get bad habits out of you). This is not an excuse to blind people by leaving them on, it is a simply high low flash and then you signal and pass
Its a SDTV 19" RCA, my wife has the same one...good picture quality but putting an xbox360 on that small of a monitor is a crime! maybe if it were 19" LCD =)
Projectors do have the drawbacks of being noisy (big fans to cool those bulbs!) and can cause distractions if youre sitting at certain angles from the light escaping the projector on the sides..blinding you...minor things however and we have been happy...at work we run about 30-40 projectors of mainly infocus and proximas and the new ones are quite slick...however you do have to turn up the volume because the bulbs are extremely hot and the fans kick on often
a cheap way to go though for HD (make sure to get an XGA or higher one)
Microsoft announced about a day after this was discovered that they are reversing this decision. Users will be able to reinstall as much as they like to support the "beta testers and hardware enthusiasts" that are the "core" of Windows Users and early adopters..*cough*
Windows Vista and AD supports management of all hibernate/sleep settings including on or off batteries settings. You can program time to kick in, whether it is available, whether user can change these settings , etc. I have been looking at this in the MMC.exe with the snap in for local system policy. Power savers rejoice!
if you wait a few days after a dvd release, it is streamed on ppv on digital units...Ive never had an issue recording from the receiver outputs into a tv tuner input....high def or standard res....be easier than trying to hack a disc?
that in same gamepro, gamespy or any other print media/online gaming mag/any other product review mag that when they preview something they will never say "game doesnt have X, game doesnt have Y". What they will say is "looking forward to this game having X and Y, that will be a blast".
It's the polite way of saying, please add this or your game will suck, and the reader will never know whether the product was originally designed to have it or if the previewers just think it should be that way,
You can use cisco works once the thing is up and running (plug it into a laptop via console or lan connection and configure it). It's still not really designed like a linksys router for "quick setup" however
is it just me or am I the only one who enjoys the star wars universe while hating every single movie in the series (i like the video games thats all i really care about (kotor 1 and 2, jedi knight series)?
These movies are so milking the cash cow that they need a whole new setting and characters such as in knights of the old republic era
Even converted to another currency this is outrageous, you can buy a 5 dollar mouse with winxp pro and get it for about 100 dollars as OEM....i doubt anyone really buys it in stores, it either came OEM with the pc (really cheap way to get it) or purchased with the way stated above..
It was a legitimate concern and one that could easily be one by a bios upgrade or something else, a simple check of Windows 95/98 etc.
I recall at work how many people in IT ordered these Y2K compliant kits that would magically repair all bioses and check all windows settings on the machine and make it y2k ready, in reality i dont think it did anything but set the clock ahead to year 2000 then back again and make a popup window appear saying YOURE OK!
I believe I read that the beta will be free and once they decide on the popularity and such, it will be on a subscription basis that will be updated via windowsupdate and purchased with a credit card (or perhaps in the store in a boxed version as well).
How long till the MS antivirus is purchasable through windowsupdate as well? They seem to be dragging their feet . I recall they purchased an AV program a while back.
IIRC they had an antivirus program back in the days of DOS and win 3.1 too
Why not use the ntfs permissions to disable access to iexplore.exe? make NO ONE have access to it (minus the SYSTEM user)....automatic update will go without iexplore.exe
