I have an existing Windows DB2 database that I'd like to move onto PostgreSQL. The users for the application can live with a weekend's worth of downtime. What's the best way to do that?
It seems the norm these days is for installers/setup programs to request that you close all open applications before initiating the install process for a piece of new software. I used to obediently follow these directions without fail, even though it could sometimes be frustrating having to close open documents and stop working on things just to…
Win7 libraries have a default folder location, but there are times I want to save to a different one (eg My Documents vs Shared Documents) but I can't find any way to specify any of the other locations from the file-save dialog.
It seems when I first setup a new user in Outlook 2007, a login prompt comes up and asks for credentials. After the account is setup, the login prompt will repeatedly prompt throughout the day and is a little annoying. This happened recently as all other machines are not doing this - just a few machines on the network (HP 8200 Elite small form…
I have a ClarkConnect (CentOS based) box running as my home router on a RR connection. I had the DNS servers set up to use Google's DNS server. I want to change them back to the local DNS servers but I can't find an obvious/easy way to get those address short of a)reconfiguring the router's network to DHCP them (would rather not interrupt…

I am using Word 2007, but saving my documents in .doc (as opposed to .docx) formats because that's company policy.
I have the ToC set up fine, but is there a way to have it update automatically (at document open, save or otherwise)? Word help suggests that it should update upon opening the document, but that doesn't seem to happen.
Any…
I installed the apache dev headers:
sudo apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev
Downloaded and compiled the module as outlined here: http://tn123.ath.cx/mod_xsendfile/
Added the following line to /etc/apache2/mods-available/xsendfile.load:
LoadModule xsendfile_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xsendfile.so
Added this to my…
What is the correct pronunciation of the directory /etc? Or, if there isn't a definitively "correct" way to say it, what is the most widely used pronunciation?
I usually say the letter names spelled out: "ee-tee-see", but am acutely aware that a lot of other folks call it "et-see" (to rhyme with Betsy).
Sorry the title of this question is a little ambiguous but I don't really have any idea where the issue lies - I'm seeking some clarification of the server error logs.
Basically, I had a dedicated server running Windows 2003 and Plesk (v8 I think). Last week the server hardware failed and the entire thing had to be rebuilt…
I've got a Dell laptop that I use as a software developer box at work and find that the drive is usually the bottleneck. I'd like to hook up two 10k RPM drives that are striped for performance. I've looked for drive cases with RAID but there don't seem to be very many choices and I'm worried about compatibility with the…
I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and am trying to install it on a fairly modern system with a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 motherboard. Ubuntu 9.04 installed fine and still will when I stick that disc in, but 9.10 doesn't see my hard drive (western digital 250GB). If I boot from the disc, I can install gparted and it does…
Just bought Dell T-7500 Workstation.
When installation technician came to Install the workstation, he got an electric shock when he touched the Start Button.
He also got shock when he touched Front Panel.
No shock when touching rest of the Chassis.
He called Dell Support & tried to troubleshoot by taking…
I am constantly logged into (ssh'd) my home machine (ubuntu) from various remote locations. Sometimes I would like to change my home linksys router settings (change the port forwarding settings or disable/enable wireless, things like that).
When I try and use the links2 text browser, there isn't much I can do…
Has anyone tried connected outlook(I am running v2007 on Windows 7) to a mail service using the MS Exchange Active Sync protocol? If so, how did you do it?
Wouldn't this solution probably eliminate the need for all the hacks/APIs needed to connect outlook to 'X' mail (Gmail, notes, etc)?
I know it is…
We've got a system running RHEL6, x64. We are using a local installation of apache 2.2.22 from source. we serve primarily:
mod_perl applications (with a local installation of perl 5.16.0)
tomcat applications proxied with mod_jk
Here is some context; the main question is below.
All of this talks…
Has anyone been able to get BZR working on a mounted AFT or SMB mounted share? I've tried both (The AFP volume is actually coming off an Xserver.) and neither work. I have BZR 2.0.0 and am running it on a Mac with 10.5. I keep getting an error like this
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock…
I have a folder on a server where a client of mine has a bunch of folders that they upload images and what not for a site, I do a symbolic link to those folders to the root of the website. This way I can give them ftp access to upload whatever they need without having access to the root…
I've been using WMP to sync to my Creative Zen since I bought it a year ago. It worked fine when my collection was still smaller than its capacity, but that's no longer the case, and I can't find any way to specify which music should be synced/not synced. WMP's sync by alphabetical…
Thunderbird/Lightning - How to "accept" an outlook invite and have it added to my google calendar?
Currently, when I "accept" outlook originated events they are added to my "work" cal by default and not sure how to sync this or have this sync'ed to my google cal.
Is there a way to…
Our company builds custom J2EE web solutions. At the moment, we use standard J2EE distribution mechanisms (ear/war archives).
Application servers are generally administered by our clients' IT departments and since we do not have complete control over the environment, a lot of…
I know this seems silly. Obviously I could mute my computer, or turn the speakers off. But it seems like surely there should be a way that I can keep all of my normal computer sounds without having to hear this one sound (no, it doesn't really bother me; mostly my wife just…
We currently have an Exchange 2003 clustered environment (two machine cluster) that we're looking to upgrade to 2010. We recently purchased a VMWare virtualization environment (three Dell R710's with an EMC NS-120 serving up NFS datastores - iSCSI is available) that we wish…
I'm doing some benchmarking with IOMeter, and I'm seeing a consistent and susbtantial drop-off in performance after running the first test. These drop-offs are about the same on the three systems I've tested on, which makes me think it's a configuration setting, or just a…
