The google opinion seems to be that they should work together.... Are you sure you've got the latest version? (2.0). Otherwise it could be UAC? If wamp installs apache as a service you could look under the services and see if you can force it to run? Otherwise might be worth trying xampp to see what happens - apache friends - xampp

Nottingham??

For what your doing it sounds like VB.NET might be over-engineered / overly complex. You might be better off using VBS or something similar. See: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_scr_qdsc.mspx?mfr=true Ron's Hard Tutorial - VBScript Date and Time Functions

I don't think there are any laws on this just reasonable security steps in the data protection act, etc. I think it's an fine balance between security and the user actually being able to remember it with out writing it down (which compromises your security). I would personally suggest maybe 6 chars or longer with at least one numeric? AU's password policy which is very draconian is here: How do I choose a suitable password? this is actively enforced e.g. it checks language dictionaries and such. Wikipedia has something vaguely helpful to say: Password policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How to get save appropriate youtube videos as .avi, etc?

pspad - link will do a find replace in a directory of files but will be a dumb replace (e.g. doesn't have knowledge of the xml structure). Alternatively grep/sed/awk should be able to do it. Cheers Jona

It's quite easy you need to make a file (called commands.txt in this instance) as follows: GET file.extention then use ftp -s commands.txt http://www.nsftools.com/tips/MSFTP.htm But it does store and transmit the password in plain text so SCP might be a better option. There is an SCP client bundled with the putty suite see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

The pedant in me wants to point out that fragmentation will happen whether you re-image or not (unless you put in new drive) so you might want to consider running defrag occasionally even if you are rebuilding annually.

Setup a decent professional looking website with lots of information Lots of payment methods - Schools are very diverse in how they can pay so take cards, purchase orders, etc, etc Go to BETT? (fairly major investment) Cheers Jona

With any downtime I have I always try to take common tasks we have to do and script them, e.g. laptop imaging, software installs, etc. Learn how to make msi's for RM networks could be a major part of this. Implement new systems - help desk system, class room booking, etc

Not automatic but I use switchproxy for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/125 Some other useful proxy addons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3896 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1557 You might be able to use a PAC file see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config I'm sure someone else will chime in with some better ways of doing it... Cheers Jona

Since ApecialAgent are a recruitment agency I don't expect they will tell you that until you express interest otherwise you could circumvent them apply direct to the school and they miss out on their fee. Cheers Jona

could possible be the VGA lead or laptop, try with a different one of both and/or on a different input type, otherwise sounds like the bulb. Cheers Jona

Isn't the guy that wrote this software on the board somewhere?? Edit: isn't this him: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/member.php?u=4013

As far as I'm aware it's not possible to send magic packets over the internet (easily at least) so as mentioned above you will be best to provide a VPN / remote desktop / webpage on your network that can be access over the net to send the magic packet over the network. This then uses normal wake on lan. Cheers Jona Refs: http://www.ezlan.net/WOL.html http://magicpacket.free.fr/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN

Ebuyer?: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142514 although the price is a lot higher than what you've found.... Just as a note it should be possible to integrate macs into a domain, others have done it. Maybe do a search?

Have you done a clean install of windows on the new hard drive in the machine? Might be worth a try, could be a driver corrupted or something. a high pitched monotone sounds like it's coming from the internal speaker, not sure what would cause it though. Cheers Jona

COUNTA(B1:B5) where B1:B5 is your range. Ref: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions04.html#CountA

Perhaps the best way would be to use a post install script, so just make a .sh script you can run which applies all the changes? Cheers Jona

You could probably use wget: http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/#download (see bottom of the page for proxy settings). Cheers Jona

Or the ultimate boot cd - http://www.ubcd4win.com/ should allow you to boot into a cut down windows environment to copy stuff around, etc.

Could you use some form of url re-writing / forwarding. To append "&safe=on" to the end of any google search strings? Cheers Jona

It dosn't matter where you save it, but you will then need to run it (double click) to add it to the registry. Cheers Jona

This seems to be a common problem see: http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2006/08/15/107649.aspx http://www.pcdoctor-guide.com/wordpress/?p=3691 For various ways of fixing it.
