I don't think that experience is representative of all setups. For example, our CC4 network has about 10 second log on times for Windows XP and 7. Though, saying that, we don't use any RM hardware - that is overpriced.

Yes. I have 2.2 on my Nexus One and there is no proxy options in the menus.

Like CAM, I use stock.xchng for all my stock photo needs. If that doesn't return any results I head to the Creative Commons search on Flickr. I've contributed a number of photos (tech things included) to both sxc and Flickr in the past.

I totally agree with you, on that and the working party idea. Every setup has pros and cons and people should be made aware of all of these to allow them to make an informed decision. Balanced and honest. Asking too much?

Sparkeh: I think a balanced view giving the possible options is the best way to move forward if that was to be done. Give them the choices and let them make the decisions. As they saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. We just have to advise them of the different types of water @Domino Are you a consultant working for a Government quango??

Secondary 11-16, ~720 students. We have about 22 physical boxes acting as servers at the moment. Most are on the current network, but some are running the new CC4 network we are soon switching to. About About 5 of the current physical boxes will be virtualised to join 4 other already-vritual servers.

Works OK on both our Windows 2000 and 2003 servers. Entered domain name as the FQDN-style (school.example) and username as normal.

Windows myWindow = new Window(50, 500, 500, 10); The myWindow variable is now a 50% translucent window measuring 500 x 500 and has a depth of 10mm. When you create a new object, it's constructor method is automatically called. The constructor method is named the same as the class. This is what the Window class might look like: public class Window{ private int mTranslucency; private int mWidth; private int mHeight; private int mThickness; public Window(pTranslucency, pWidth, pHeight, pThickness){ // Take parameters from constructor and set attributes mTranslucency = pTranslucency; mWidth = pWidth; mHeight = pHeight; mThickness = pThickness; } public int getArea(){ return mWidth * mHeight; } } I can now call myWindow.getArea() and it will give me the area.

@powdarrmonkey Nah, I know it will just return false anyway

A class is like a blueprint, and creating an instance of an object is bringing it to life so you can interact with it. I have some information that might be useful to you, will PM tomorrow

Not exactly Take a bank account as an example. An example of a class would be a customer. The properties of this class would be their account number, name, address, and balance. Methods would be withdraw() and deposit(). An object is just an instantiation of a class. Pseudocode example: Customer webman = new Customer(12345678, "Craig", "101 Front Street", 4000); webman.withdraw(200); Then you get on to inheritance - the generalisation-specialisation part of object-oriented programming. A regular customer contains the stuff as mentioned above; and then you could have a specialised "Gold" customer who may have an overdraft attribute added on - but it also inherits all of the customer stuff too. The concept is a bit different from procedural programming, but once you get your head around it it becomes a lot easier.

Yeah. I'm not particularly fond of Java, but that's just the way it works. *shrugs*

It's because a string in Java is essentially an object. The comparison operator would compare the unique objects and just wouldn't be the desired output. That's why they have the equals() method which will actually compare the value of the string to something else and return the proper result

I'm staggered by the number of people who don't/can't have a simple default gateway set up on the network. @Russdev If you take into consideration more than just the issue of proxy server, I reckon that score will soon begin to tip in Android's favour; considering how locked-down the iPhone is.

Officially, you can't. Issue 1273 - android - IP Proxy Settings for Wifi Network - Project Hosting on Google Code If you have root access though, it seems possible. Let's talk about Google Android: Set proxy for android web browser

Thanks Ric_ I did read the 7110 Performance thread before we set ours up (probably a dozen times or more); but the varying results seemed inconclusive. It seems the three variables of network, storage protocol and filesystem all have an impact on what you'll actually get with XenServer and Sun storage. As always, 'YMMV'.

I recently discovered that disabling my Twitter app from syncing will allow the battery to last longer than 14 hours. I can now make it from morning 'til bedtime without seeing the battery dip into the orange (Nexus One)

Couple of questions Ric_: How are your Xen hosts connected to the 7110 (NIC configuration - bonded/teamed?) NFS or iSCSI? What type of volume(s) on the 7110? Thanks in advance

It's probably being identified as eth1. Do dmesg | grep eth to confirm. If so, just edit /etc/network/interfaces and change eth0 to eth1.

Here too.

I don't watch Dr Who or The Kumars.

Who's Meera Syal?

Gmail is nice on the Nexus, but the default client for IMAP/POP is a bit basic and an all-or-nothing approach when it comes to the many folders I have on the school Zimbra server. In K-9 there are settings for display, push and poll for 'classes' of folders, which you define. You can set the class for individual folders so only the 'important' ones are shown and sync'd This is just on the Nexus though - I don't know for certain if there is a different app on the HTC-branded devices. If I was only bothered about my inbox folder and wasn't fussed about others, the default app would probably suffice.

I've found the best Email app for Android is K-9 Mail. It's free and supports lots of features with push and poll options. Nothing to lose by giving it a go
