I am using a network disk (that's connected to my router by USB) to store several data files. A simple .NET application that I've created is supposed to read and modify these data files. However, some security issues are preventing this application to access these files directly. (Actually, these have been built-in to my application on purpose…
Is there any advantage to use a linux machine to develop instead of Windows?
Everyone at work tells me to switch to Linux, since I'm developing hard-core on linux anyway.
I manage 40 servers, and do everything from DB to data-backend to developing web services.
I don't find anything wrong with Putty. I"m just too lazy to install another…

I've connected my PC to my TV via HDMI (I've also tried using DVI). Whatever the resolution (anything from 800 x 600 to 1080p), the image displayed on the TV does not fill the entire screen surface; there's a black border on the edge of the image. This happens in both Vista and Windows 7.
After a bit of searching I came to the…
I have an 1 TB data disk and the bios and Windows are reporting a "Smart" error. At least, I get a Smart event but it doesn't indicate how serious the failure could be. My system is about 6 months old, including the disk so the warranty will cover the damage. Unfortunately, I lack a second disk of 1 TB in size which I can use…

Is there a way in nginx to redirect everything from domain1.com to domain2.com, except for the homepage?
Right now I have:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain1.com domain1.com;

}
This works, except that I'd like http://domain1.com (without any additional…

We have central HQ building and a lot of small branch offices connecting via VPN and want to implement AD (If you can believe we still haven't). We want everyone to log in using domain accounts and be policed centrally.
We are OK with having a RODC in a branch office with like 10 computers. But we have…
Hi,
At work I have EXCHANGE Server, so I am getting emails (Work related). I wanted to add my personal email (POP or IMAP) and get those emails too.
I am afraid that if i do that, my work can still have access to my personal emails? and they will see if I send or receive emails.
Any suggestions?
