Dell wants to help admins spend less time keeping x86 servers running. A new crop of Westmere-processor-based, self-healing machines are designed for to be deployed and ignored.
I'm looking at a new chapter in my career. I'm a web developer, but now I'm starting to play around with C, compilers, and things I didn't have to work with before. It's all very intriguing!
As I'm getting more and more into the "lower level" arena, I'm wondering how devices (mice, printers, webcams, microphones, etc...) are controlled,…
I had a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 on my Alienware M11x, and it worked with the native monitor resolution of 1366x768. In trying to get the Optimus chipset working, I installed Bumblebee 3.0. Now, I am only offered 640x480 for my monitor resolution. Graphically, Unity 3D appears to be working now, instead of the Unity 2D I had before, so…
I have an intel Imac dual-booting Ubuntu 10.04 and OSX 10.6. Both work fine, but sound is very quiet in Linux, even though the gnome volume control panel and pulse audio volume control panels are both set to 100%. I can turn the speaker volume up and it's fine, but then when I boot back to OSX the volume makes me jump out of my skin. Is…

I have just recently started learning C and the reason I did that was because frankly, I consider myself to be of a "less-developer" than the people who know and work with C. Thus I planned to start learning ASM, C, C++ and bought the K&R book and started pushing myself to learn the C Programming Language and up till now I'm doing…
I am able to load over 200 UIImage objects into a NSMutableDictionary without any memorry warning issues.
When I start displaying them on the screen (after about showing 10-20 images) I get low memory warnings and an eventual crash.
Only about 8 images are displayed at anyone time.
Does it take additional memory to actually draw a…
I'd like to simulate a high-latency, low-bandwidth network connection on my Linux machine.
Limiting bandwidth has been discussed before, e.g. here, but I can't find any posts which address limiting both bandwidth and latency.
I can get either high latency or low bandwidth using tc. But I haven't been able to combine these into a…
I'm using the HiLo generator in my S#rpArchitecture/NHibernate project and I'm performing a large import batch.
I've read somewhere about the possibility to predict the Low values of any new records because they are generated on the client. I figure this means I can control the Low values myself or at least fetch the next Low…
I have a few setups where I can mount two motherboards on top of each other. They are running AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 4200 CPU's using a very low profile CPU cooler. These coolers are loud and annoying.
Does anyone know of a low profile QUIET CPU cooling solution?
In Windows Server 2008 R2, it is possible to read the Event Viewer for EventID 1020 which is an indication that the DHCP pool is running low on addresses.
What if I have two DHCP servers in my domain that use an 80/20 split scope to take a /24 pool of DHCP-allocated IP addresses and split it amongst the two servers according…

I currently invoke the following ssh command over my home wifi (from OSX to Ubuntu):
ssh -XYC -l my_username -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -XC my_local_server
This works great, except during low bandwidth situations, like if I'm streaming music over the Web, while I'm coding.
In these situations, the ssh often drops, within a…
Is there a solution to create a virtual machine and start it by having an executable file, that will start the machine? If possible to start as quickly as possible. Strange situation? Not at all. Read on...
Real life scenario
Since we can't have domain controller on a non-server OS it would be nice to have domain…

In informatics theory I hear and read about high-level and low-level languages all time.
Yet I don't understand why this is still relevant as there aren't any (relevant) low-level languages except assembler in use today.
So you get:
Low-level
Assembler
Definitely not low-level
C
BASIC
FORTRAN
COBOL

The Tulsa SharePoint Interest Group set a record for attendance last night at our SharePoint 2010 Mini-Launch Event. Approximately 40+ people showed up to listen to SharePoint MVP Eric Shupps, The SharePoint Cowboy to discuss all of the new features for both administrators and developers. All of the Tulsa…
Have a noisy, power-hungry Pentium 4 based Ubuntu server that I want to replace with a nice, low-power mini-ITX/Intel Atom-based machine to do my network services (DHCP, DNS, IPSec, Web/mail, FTP, etc.) and am thinking of a (hopefully) equally-low powered NAS using NFS over GbE with at least 1 TB space and…

I'd like to know if there are any linux distributions that are focused on low latency networking.
The area I'm working in is algorithmic trading, and extremely low latency comms between machines is a must. The current h/w we're using is 10g ethernet, we're looking into things like infiniband RDMA and…

Recently, I've noticed that the dock has been starting to display low-resolution icons in place of the former high-resolution icons for common apps like Stickies, Word, iTunes and Preview. Looking at the .icns file within each program, all copies of the icon are present within the file (high and low…
