If I need 1.5 amps for an itx home theater system, will the 120ac/12dc power brick run cooler or last longer if I use the more expensive 10 amp power brick or the least expensive 5 amp power brick.
Thanks
Hi
after struggling with a wireless adapter installation for a few days, I am wondering if there is some service that will do it remotely.
I am not talking about an enterprise type remote support center. I am thinking about a similar service for home PCs
anyone aware of such a service ?
There are lots of strictly usb powered speakers, but I don't imagine they're that good.
I'd like something that I can plug in at home, have the speakers charge and when I go to the park with my friends, I'm not compromising sound quality or battery life.
Does anything like this exist?
How can I identify the source of recent remote desktop connections to my computer?
While at work I connected to my desktop there (XP SP3) from another system with files I want to access. I am now at home and connected to my desktop at work but I do not know the name of the other system there.
I'm trying to upgrade my ATI HD 5770 graphics card drivers, as they keep crashing, but the upgrade keeps failing half way through.
I have tried the full driver package and the drivers-only package.
10-5_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_enu.exe
10-5_vista64_win7_64_dd.exe
I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
How can I upgrade?
I was thinking about logging into Pandora at work like I do at home, but I'm concerned about sucking up all of the available bandwidth on the network with something that's not strictly work-related. I don't have a thorough technical understanding of how streaming content like Internet radio is delivered, so I don't really know how to measure the impact.
Can anyone offer any perspective on how much bandwidth Internet radio consumes relative to normal Internet browsing? Is there any way to measure how much I'm using for a specific site like Pandora?
I have created an image of a floppy disk by executing:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/myFloppy.img
My floppy disk is no more working now. So I am thinking now if it's possible to write the image of that floppy to a flash drive and then i may boot my machine from the flash drive.
My machine's BIOS has the option of 'Boot from USB'.
I have a home theatre PC running with two users accounts on windows 7.
The default account logs into locally. The account 'Paul' is present but is denied local log in so the default auto logs in locally.
I am trying to remote into account Paul using RDC however it tries to log into the default account and I am presented with an an option to boot the present user off so I can log in.
How do I specify which account I want to log into?
I am using Chromium on a flash drive through LiberKey and it does everything I want it to do as far as syncing my Chrome bookmarks from home, etc. But it's soooooo slow. If I open more than 1 tab, or if a tab is heavy with code such as Gmail or GMaps, then the entire program hangs for about 5-10 seconds.
I don't exactly know how portable apps work when run from a flash drive, so is there a way to speed up load times?
Suppose a set of custom-built gcc/glibc/binutils are in $prefix (e.g. /home/user/path)
I want:
gcc to look for libraries in $prefix/lib64 instead of /lib64
gcc to look for headers in $prefix/include instead of /include
to use $prefix/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 as the (hard-coded) loader path instead of /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
the dynamic loader to look for shared libraries in $prefix/lib64 instead of /lib64
How should I configure the builds? Do I need to modify gcc's specs file or do anything else?
Hi gurus
I want to switch context path to Manager app in Tomcat6
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html
I change $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/manager.xml to:
<Context path="/adm" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
notice to: path="/adm", but manager app is always in /manager.
Please, how can I change manager path in Tomcat6?
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I have a traditional telephony system at home. I also got an voip ATA device connected to the telephone socket. On a normal phone you can just plug it into the wall socket then multiple people on different phones can speak a the same time. Currently for me to take this call whoever answered the call will forward it onto my internal number. Is there not a way I can make it work like the analogue system so I can just pick up the phone?
I'm running Win XP on Parallels on my two home computers (iMac and macbook pro). I'm planning to buy Office 2010 Student version and install it on my virtual xp:s. How the licensing of MS Office goes on virtual machines? I'm worried about the scenario where I have to re-install virtual machines (which happens some time), and because of that I have to install Office 2010 Student version many times. I think that the licensing of MS Office Student version allows installation only for three times?
I recently made the mistake of leaving my brand-new iPad on my kitchen counter... and my wife dropped home-made peanut butter on it. Does Apple cover this type of damage?

I have a MacBook Pro with Windows 7 installed on the Boot Camp partition. I've figured out how to invoke most of the "missing keys" (like home, end, page up, page down) but have not yet figured out if there are equivalents for "Print Screen" and "Alt+Print Screen". What are the keyboard shortcuts for this?
We have a win 7 home prem pc, amd cpu, 8G ram, plenty of free disk space. Whenever user is working in publisher 20003, and tries to save a publisher 2003 document to the desktop, the save as dialog hangs and takes 2-3 minutes to display the desktop save location. I've tested excel 2003, it has no problems immediately displaying the desktop save as location and saving the file.
Getting informed on setting up a home network so i can use VPN on my PS3, i live in Mexico but want the programming available in the US.
Getting a little confused as every sites gives you different options, both in hardware and software.
specially on subjects like dd-wrt, dns or vpn options...
i know there is no "best" setup, but are there any tried and true??
Options in hardware and software would be apreciated...
I am rather new to linux, but I have installed a few different flavors. I noticed they all have similar folder names in the root directory
bin
boot
dev
etc
home
lib
lost+found
media
mnt
opt
proc
root
sbin
selinux
srv
sys
tmp
usr
var
I googled around, but couldn't find anywhere that explained the purpose of each of these. I understand a couple, but could anyone point me somewhere or give a quick breakdown of the common ones.
I've been using an SSH proxy to my home network to encrypt my internet surfing, which is fine. But the connection is much slower than the direct one, and when I'm downloading large files I'd rather go around the proxy. Currently, I send it to Downthemall, go to FoxyProxy and disable the proxy, cancel and resume the download, then when it's started go back to FoxyProxy and re-enable it. Is there any way I can just get DownThemAll stuff to skip the foxyproxy?
Recently I bought a VPS from DigitalOcean. I setup a PPTP VPN so I could watch us Netflix content from outside the US. Now that I have it setup and all my traffic is going through the VPN, Netflix is still showing my home country content. Pandora is working, and when I search my IP it shows im in NY, so I guess traffic is being routed correctly. I have also tried to delete flash settings and cookies from browser.
Any ideas on what could be happening?
I have a home built Windows 7 x64 computer with a Core 2 Quad CPU. It has recently taken to suddenly shutting down/turning off at unusual intervals. It seems to be most common when playing media. I have tried running SpeedFan, and the CPU temp seems to hover around 49C. The computer has been running fine for over 1 years. Could heat be my problem, and how should I address it?
I have a LAMP server (Ubuntu 12.10) setup on my development machine. It is a T60 modified with an SSD.
The server base is in /var/www. Apache has the following config:
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all

I'm currently developing a SilverStripe CMS featured site. The folder for the server is /var/www/sfk/. The framework and all cms relavant features are in their respective folders. The only folder that need to be modified would be the /var/www/sfk/mysite folder. Because of that I want to keep the mysite folder under my home directory and symlink it into the server folder. So here is what I've done:
ln -s ~/sfk/mysite/ /var/www/sfk/
sudo chgrp www-data /var/www/sfk/mysite -R
ls tells me the following:
/var/www/sfk (exerpt)
drwxr-xr-x 3 marvin www-data 4096 Nov 16 16:53 assets
drwxr-xr-x 12 marvin www-data 4096 Nov 16 16:53 cms

and

This is literally the same setup I have on my desktop machine. The problem I have is that the mysite/ folder is just not recognized. I'm thankful for every advice I get. I'm frustrated because I'm stuck with this issue for hours.
Is it possible to edit the application in the localhost of another machine from another computer. Both are in different network.
Example:
I am having a application app1 in my localhost of my office network(Ubuntu machine). If I want to do some modifications in the application from my home machine (Xp )in a different network..how can i do so ?? Please give me some suggestions..
though many of us has asked many question related to cron jobs, let me ask my one...
I want to execute a PHP script periodically. As a cron command I'm using:
php -q http://www.example.com/cron.php?action=getA
I also tried this one:
php -q /home/myuser/www.example.com/cron.php?action=getA
It is not getting executed and not sending any mail. I set the mail ID to my gMail ID. What am I doing wrong?
