The crux is whether the radiation under consideration is ionising or not, rather than the power output. Radiation Basics | Radiation Protection | US EPA Ionising radiation is best avoided where possible. We can see from the EM spectrum that UV from sunlight is damaging to the skin's DNA, while there is no evidence that radiation in what we call the radio spectrum causes damage. There is an enormous nuclear reactor in the sky, and the damage to DNA from its radiation far exceeds that of any WiFi kit. Though of course with the weather in the UK, it might be a little difficult to believe.

[sims] Clients unable to Connect with SQL Error
jinnantonnixx replied to ejacklin's topic in MIS Systems
Have you enabled remote connections to SQL? This area of SQL is visited so infrequently, it's often overlooked. How to configure SQL Server 2012 Express to allow remote connections | Roman Kagan -
Nice and fresh. The old font was looking a bit dated. It's good to freshen up your image with contemporary trends every so often. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3050613/googles-new-logo-is-its-biggest-update-in-16-years

This is interesting. There's a case going through the courts in Massachusetts. I'd be interested see what proof is forwarded as part of the complaint.

Hmmmm.

China Blasts: Casualties In Tianjin Port City Explosions - BBC News
jinnantonnixx replied to 6Foot2's topic in General Chat
That's one hell of a mess. One theory doing the rounds is that the fireman weren't told about the nature of the stored chemicals. The water they used to extinguish the fire hit a cache of something that must be kept dry: lithium, sodium, or such like. -

I discovered BoJack Horseman over the weekend. There's no way this should work, but it does and I love it.

[sims] Nearly 2 minutes to open SIMS.net?
jinnantonnixx replied to kennysarmy's topic in MIS Systems
Did they configure the OS, data files, log files and temp dbs on separate LUNs? If not, it could be a SAN bottleneck as everything is trying to read and write down one IO pipeline at the same time. I'd use SQL Activity Monitor to get an overview of how the SQL system is running. If you're lucky, something will jump out. http://www.sqlservercurry.com/2013/04/activity-monitor-in-sql-server.html -

Almost certainly Powershell will be to tool of choice here. I've done loads with Powershell and SQL and it works like magic. http://sqlfool.com/category/powershell/ There are lots of Powershell cmdlets for Exchange https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998225%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Virtual machines for students (Linux)?
jinnantonnixx replied to dagza's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
I might misunderstand your requirements, but why not set up a Linux server (Centos or Ubuntu server, say), join the server to Active Directory and use Putty on the Windows clients to allow the students to log in with their AD logins. Done properly, the Putty sessions would give them their home directory and their work would be saved centrally on the Linux server. The students can log in via Putty from any machine to access their work. -
You will need a satellite signal meter (I got a cheap one from Maplin). You will also need to set the skew of your LNB - this is often overlooked and can lead to picture problems if it's not set. http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/LNB_skew.htm Sky dishes must use Sky LNBs - you can't mix and match the dishes and LNBs, they have to have the correct shape as Sky dishes are short-wide as opposed to the universal tall-narrow. From the offset position, a tall-narrow dish looks round from the LNB's point of view. http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/lnb.htm#oval Try and use reasonably good cables. Rubbish cables might give you the same electrical characteristics as good cables, but remember their job is to carry gigahertz signals and junk cables can attenuate high frequencies, more so over long lengths. As an aside - the 'strength' your receiver will report is the strength of the signal from the LNB to your receiver (not from the satellite to your LNB). This is different from the 'quality' which is how free the signal is from errors.

Well, ignoring the subject of roaming profiles, there are good reasons why you shouldn't store files on the desktop. Explorer will attempt to generate a preview/tyhumbnail of the files, or parse its metadata every time you logon. If you have a large bunch of videos on your desktop, this will impact on performance as the preview is generated. Worse still, if the file is not parsable or its corrupt, explorer might hang for a while before it gives up. This is less of a problem with modern hardware, but it's still good practice to keep the desktop for icons and shortcuts only. Performance aside, is the desktop backed up? If not, the work is at risk.

[php] Inserting row into MySQL Table - Only inserts one field
jinnantonnixx replied to gtg93's topic in Web Development
You've only supplied one row of values in your insert statement. I think you should be using the insert...select construct rather than the straightforward Insert. MySQL :: MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual :: 13.2.5.1 INSERT ... SELECT Syntax -
It's almost certainly by design. Although it's perfectly possible, and sometimes desirable, to store unicode characters in a database, searching and sorting is a nightmare as an accented 'n' is a completely different character code than a standard 'n'. These two 'n's are worlds apart, as far as the ordering is concerned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters#Latin-1_Supplement

By coincidence, I had a graphics disaster in the week. Once you know how to fix it, it's quite straightforward. It's probably falling back to the VESA mode. The most promising fix is to purge the drivers and do a simple reboot. sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* Then reboot. That should remove all the drivers and the kernel should hook in with a probed driver, just like a boot from USB or CD would. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/149837-what-did-you-learn-today-5.html#post1339613 For further documentation on the graphics system, I found this very helpful. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection?action=show&redirect=X%2FTroubleshooting%2FFglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver
