 | In Windows, simply push the "Print Screen" key, then open a program such as Paintbrush, and paste it in. For a single window, you can use Alt+Print Screen. This is really simple and doesn't support any fancy options like a timer or anything like that, but it "should" work across …  |

| | [QUOTE=twilli227]Which is better, dunno, what is it you are trying to do? Why don't you try them, and find out which works best for you. I could tell you which one is the clear winner, but that won't help you. My needs will probably be differant than your needs. Try …  |

| | Catweazle is definitely correct, but you also need to state your specific needs, and the things you do on the computer that would determine which OS to use.  |

| | Backups are a must. Redundancy is useless without a good, clean backup! :) If you go with Windows, I would recommend an SDLT drive for large ammounts of data. (up to 320gb compressed) For the software, use Veritas Backup Exec for Windows 9. Maybe you can get by with an … |
| | If you have the Windows XP cd that came with the computer, or one that you bought on your own, then you can boot off of that and run the System Recovery tool and it can reinstall the Windows installation over your existing one, without too much damaga to the … |
| | The inspiron 8x00 series is commonly known for having screen issues. The hinges flat out suck. I had a Dell technician come out to my house one time (it came with my warranty at the time) and he even said that the 8x00 series is known to have issues because … |
| | My girlfriend is a bit emotional at times, which is normal, and healthy. She likes to play with photoshop, and has an interest in the things I do on the computer. She finds things like ssh+screen+ncurses, and VNC amazing. Having a girlfriend who is intrigued by technology, but not 100% … |

Here are the types of input: CFO: [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] The Main Man [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] To take … |
| | I can vouch for Access terrible reliability when in heavy use. It works great for small applications, but something like this heavy calls for a full fledged database server. I can't tell you how much pain me and my boss have been through with Access at our clients. |

| | I'm not sure what would be causing the problem, but it would be interesting to see what other protcols this intercepts. POP/SMTP seem to be fine. Can you have these people try accessing an https:// site, or even an ftp:// |
 | Get the degree. You are gonna kick yourself in the ass if you don't have it one day when you really need it.  |

| | I don't know why it wouldn't display the POSTing process, but, you may want to disable iniitial boot memory checking in your BIOS. Not sure what BIOS that mobo uses, but I'm sure you could find it in there somewhere. Try disabling the boot time memory checking and see if … |
| | I haven't used ME or the 9x series in quite some time but as I recall the folder was: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch or: C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\<some user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch In that folder is just shortcuts to your Quick Launch programs. For the "show desktop," the last I remember was that …  |
| | and bypassing Windows security was matter of pushing the "esc" key. Or even killing a batch file on a kiosk, like at Barnes and Noble! :-D  |
 | I agree. Bash (and others) shell scripts are awesome. Very low overhead, and very powerful for "quick-and-dirty" type tools, to more complex cgi scripts for a webserver. And just think, the only interpreter you need is your shell! :) Yes, shell scripts can be limited at times when compared to … |
| | Is the purpose of having the dialup modem to be used as a main internet connection, or to provide some kind of dial-in service, or just for extreme-backup redundancy? :) If it is for your main internet connection, then by the time bandwidth gets to the other machines on the … |

| | Usually a Microsoft product won't complain about the product key being invalid unless it is some type of pirated software. I am not making any acusations though, as we all know that software can be faulty at times. :) Whether it is or isn't pirated software is your personal business, … |
 | Can you ping the default gateway for that dialup connection? Do you have another ISP connection that you can try this same modem with?  |
 | Have you tried powering off the modem for at least 30 seconds? The steps that I would take, are to power off the modem and router for thirty seconds. Power up the modem. Give it 45 seconds or so to warm up. After that, plug in the router to the … |
 | Which operating system would be the host, and which would be the client? A lot of this makes a big difference. If you are concerned about cross compatability, then I would recommend VNC, because to my knowledge it has the best support across Windows/Mac/Unices, and you can even port it … |
| | I haven't tried using the "Desktop Sharing" feature that I have seen lately, but I beleive that it is KDE-specific. Are you running KDE as your desktop environment, or are you trying to run this under Gnome/Fluxbox/XFCE/WindowMaker/etc...? KDE programs often have issues when run outside of the KDE environment. |
| | I've been having this issue (at two separate clients) where all of the volume labels for the network drives that a user is connecting to get renamed as "Disconnected Network Drive." The icon shows that the drive is connected, and if you can access files on the network drive with … |

| | Re: Kill Bill vol 2 OMG Dani, the Kill Bill vol 1 was awesome, and 2 is gonna be wonderful. I am surprised that you have not heard of Kill Bill before. Some of Tarintino 's(sp) movies before were more "underground" cult classics, but Kill Bill is much more main stream. To anyone who has … |

 | Re: KDS monitor I was given an old KDS monitor some time ago and it seems that they aren't the most reliable pieces of equipment. Unfortunately, you may want to get a new/newer monitor. I tried the tape thing, and it just doesn't seem to work well enough. |
