  1. You would have to do it manually. You could try to install advanced logging tools on the servers and I think you would then be able to save logs in the same file on the domain controller.
  2. Nothing as long as you keep the computer you are connecting to a public network with secure there should be nop problems. I use public wifi all the time and never had any problems.
  3. That's a great deal. The 850's are good drives also.
  4. I selected Tiger Direct because there is a warehouse in Naperville that is only 5 minutes from where I live. I also have a Fry's 20 minutes from me. Most of my parts are bought from those 2 places.
  5. There is a Tiger Direct warehouse 5 minutes from me. I might have to go see if I can get this deal in store. I like my AMD builds.
  6. Everything electronic is built in China. They install the card stealer right at the factory. The workers get next to nothing so they get it other ways.
  7. The problem I've had with live disks is once I find a distro I'd like the use as soon as I convert and install the wireless drivers don't install because they are proprietary. It really is a pain when you get dual boot setup and find out you have no network on the Linux side.
  8. I have noticed a problem with it. It takes forever to load and there is noticeable lag. I'm just glad we have alternatives like Chrome and Opera.
  9. I Have no doubt about it. Windows 7 is a great OS. I use it and will continue to use it until support ends. I absolutely hate Windows 8. I actually liked Vista and upgraded to it as soon as it was released.
  10. I know you had talked about opening the site again. I always knew you were holding on to the domain for a reason. When you told me you did I thought is was a good idea. I see some new faces, but, haven't seen the regulars from before on yet. I'll help out when I can. And not by posting only security bulletins like last time.

  12. [/url]AP - Flat-panel TVs look lovely on a wall — the cords hanging from them, less so. After a few years of false starts, the industry finally seems close to tackling that problem. At least three dueling wireless technologies for high-definition TVs will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which starts Monday. Manufacturers promise that sets incorporating these technologies will be in stores before the next holiday season. Link To Original Article

  14. digg_url = 'http://digg.com/microsoft/Does_Vista_s_weak_growth_hint_at_the_death_of_the_desktop';Is the desktop metaphor dead, replaced by Web services like Google and Facebook? Or is Vista so bad that it's not worth buying? New data points to the latter suggestion, leaving Microsoft with two options. It can either view its sagging Vista sales as a testament to the incredible work of art that is Windows XP (gag). Or it can concede that Vista is a pile of potty. Or perhaps, just perhaps, this isn't a Windows thing at all but simply a recognition that we may have tapped out the "must-have" innovations on the fat-client desktop leading people to wait out upgrades until a hardware refresh makes the choice a no-brainer. Regardless of how Microsoft chooses to view its Vista numbers, it clearly has a problem. Though it's only one dataset, PCWorld's users aren't jumping up and down for Vista. PCWorld measured Web traffic on its site, and found that adoption of Vista is tepid (14 percent), and is crawling compared with how fast XP came out of the gate: How much of an accomplishment is it for a new version of Windows to get to 14 percent usage in 11 months? The logical benchmark is to compare it to the first 11 months of Windows XP, back in 2001 and 2002. ... Link To Original Article

  18. Two weeks I wrote about how the XO laptop endowed a 9-year-old boy with seemingly magical powers (of intellectual curiosity and competence), and I wondered aloud whether my 8-year-old daughter would fare as well. On the one hand, she does like gadget gifts such as The Littlest Petshop. On the ... Link To Original Article

  20. I was reading through IEEE's recent patent portfolio survey and was surprised to see that Microsoft was ranked No. 1 in terms of the overall quality, and more importantly, scientific value of its patent portfolio. The company that gave us Clippy is also sitting on a small mountain of innovation. The question, of course, is how to turn raw innovation into saleable products. In this area Microsoft may be too dependent on last decade's products to truly focus on the next decade. Yes, Microsoft has churned out the Zune, Xbox, and other new products. But I suspect its dominance in operating systems and office productivity suites keeps it from truly pushing the envelope with new products, because everything has to fit within yesterday's conception of how computing should work. In short, could Microsoft be its own worst enemy? Here are the rankings: ... Link To Original Article
