When you download linux drivers for devices such as wireless dongles, you'll get a folder full of random files that I'm assuming oyu need to compile? How do you install a wireless driver in linux?

I have a datastore set up in ESXi where I put all my ISOs. Somehow, something broke (I don't know what) and now I can't upload files to that (or any other) datastore. For large, ISO-sized files, the "Uploading..." dialog pops up, hangs for a while, and then the "I/O Error Occurred" displays. For smaller files (10 meg neighborhood), the…
For my small company, I'm using Tomahawk Backup as the enterprise offshore solution, as it covers files, databases and Exchange (brick level). The problem is the price... it costs more than 10x the price of Dropbox (and others) for the same space (120GB), and doesn't have de-duplication. So I'm wondering: assuming there is no problem…
I've got access to a network via CheckPoint VPN (Windows client).
Problem is, I have a linux box that needs to talk to its web services and the target web servers are inside the VPN.
So far, we have been unable to connect linux to the VPN (and I'm not trying to solve that problem at the moment).
I'm wondering if (temporarily) I…
So – I just bought the new game Supreme Commander 2. This question is not about the game, but about the online software installation platform that it seems to require. I haven't bought a game in a long time, and I'm puzzled: Apparently, SC2 is a "Steam"-powered game.
When I went to install the game, it asked me to either create…
Got a win7 computer for xmas and like the Sticky Notes
But twice now, after running an automatic update, the sticky notes disappeared
Managed to navigate system restore and recover it, but what a pain in the butt.
The update seems to be deleting the exe, but I haven't been able to find any info on why.
Anyone else experience this?…

When I restore a db in Sql Server 2008 R2 from data on another server, it makes a mess of the users. I have a Windows User and MsSql Login named Web_SqlA on both machines. Before the Restore, Web_SqlA is properly mapped to the right Windows user in the database. After the Restore, Web_SqlA is still listed as a user…
I'm trying to use Octave as a programmer's calculator. I want to input a 64-bit pointer, but when I do apparently the 64-bit value gets silently truncated to 32-bit:
octave:44> base_ptr=0x1010101020202020
base_ptr = 538976288
octave:45> uint64(base_ptr)
ans = 538976288
octave:46> printf("%lx\n",…
I have an existing XP installation on a 160GB disk, with about 90 GB free.
I'm trying to install Win7 on the same HDD, following directions from here.
The question is: How long should it take to run the "shrink" command, given the above parameters? How much space will that free up for Win7?
I have purchased an Edimax 7318USg and tested it on a Windows machine (works). The installation process for the software for this adapter runs smoothly. However, OS X simply does not recognize new network adapters. When you go to System Preferences/Network, a new network adapter should be present/there…
I've had this happen a couple of times - screen saver kicks in, locks the screen, and when I put my password in to unlock it the system just seems to hang.
Cursor turns to the busy, HDD light flickers occasionally, but the only thing I can do at that point is power down.
This is on a desktop, not a…
I like the extra vertical space provided by the latest firefox beta (4b9). However, the button interface doesn't give you access to the tools menu.
I know that I can either temporarily enable the menubar by holding down the ALT key, but flipping a flag in about:config would be preferable. Does such…

We are serving files with the .xlsx (excel 2007/2010) extension. IE, Chrome, Safari all download the file and open excel just fine.
Firefox is being stupid. For some reason it's appending .xls to the extension. I found this: https://support.mozilla.com/bs/questions/758363
However, the…
I would like to create a DAV SVN server with autoversioning that has no access control of any kind. I experimented with several variations on this, but every one of them runs into this error in the end:
"Anonymous lock creation is not allowed."
So, as a fallback option I would like to…

We're considering pre-provisioning each user's MySite in SP 2010 - I know MS don't recommend it but it's a Uni installation and we'd like to have the student accounts set up in advance rather than have everything go bananas when a few thousand people all turn up on the same…
