  1. Now theres an idea, whuy not be thought itself, infinite and always interesting, every thought in every mind everywhere. If I had to pick a superhero it'd be Dr Manhattan, existing outside of time at one or infinate places at a time in any shape scale or number. Epic.
  2. I think so, you'll need sso turned on then you can map a drive right to their personal sharepoint pro web address. Not sure if this will work right in redirect or if you will need to add a drive map as an intermediary. It may still also prompt for sign in the first time. There is also the matter of NTFS ownership, you may need to switch off the check to allow it to work if 365 does not present ownership information. I should be doing something simmilar shortly so hopefully will be able to test in a couple of weeks.
  3. Just built myself a machine so have been reading up, I went for a Q87 chipset MB as it is the business line, supports vPro, VT-d and stable image platform meaning it is rated for constant use for 5 years, 16gb of Kingston ram with heat syncs to extend their stable life, a nice passive psu for no fan noise and an i5 4570 as it was a good price point. Currently just using integrated 4600 gpu which has accelerated video transcoding and can do three monitors. Vpro means you can control it, see the screen, mount a DVD all over the network without an os in there. I would go for a 4570s now just for the lower tdp so I could run a small completely passive CPU cooler to quiet it further and burn even less power. Someone else will need to come in with gpu and ssd advice as NZ pricing already put me over $1200 just for that lot with a decent case so I stopped there for now.
  4. Goodbye hp servers, it was nice while it lasted but one of the best things was the driver support, without that they are just another nasty vendor.
  5. Eep, worst practice, solid core is not designed to be terminated with the little plug blades and so the connection is going to be suspect at best let alone the bend etc. Get them back and tell them to sort it with a patch pannel. Might want to watch and make sure they don't sit there and untwist 10cm of the end of each cable to patch it in, this is also shocking but probably if they tries to get away with plugs on the end of solid core.
  6. We just use roaming profiles for staff, 8 works off 7 profiles.
  7. Fail It could almost be valid XML if there was no opening tag and all the content was in the last bit, maybe it is some strange hybrid knocked up in a basment somewhere
  8. Given how flimsy the MVLS site is I would not be supprised if it really was dependant on XP for some stuff, it is a horror show.

    Windows Phone 8

    Chuck this on a machine Fiddler - The Free Web Debugging Proxy by Telerik then under the phone settings point the wifi proxy to the proxy it makes instead, this should allow you to snoop the traffic and see where it is trying to go without wiresharking a mirror of the wlan interface.

    Windows Phone 8

    Um, more information maybe. I have a Lumina 920, there is the windows phone store which is an icon on the menu which is the only one available for the phone. Do you mean you can access that via the web interface or are you trying to get to the Windows 8.1 store which is not available on the phones? Are you trying this behind a proxy or on a home or personal data connection? Have you signed in using a windows live ID and have you tried signing that account on via live.com to make sure that it does not need any additional agreements or email verification to continue? Do you get any error messages?
  11. They don't do that because of the disgruntled and whiney tech media, appleites and *nix nuts who will go after anything with MS in the title attempting to poison the brand before it even gets to market. Just look at what happened to Vista, yes it had its issues but they were nothing compared to the press panning it got given largely without cause. As to them having to change the name at all, its rubbish, who is going to mistake a dirty tv channel with a storage provider anyway, it is as bad as the rounded corners debacle and Apple got away with sharing with Apple Records, despite their foray into music. There are definitely two rules in the UK and MS seems to get the much harsher set. Given the market cap of media companies in comparison to tech ones I still think that the tech companies should just buy out the dirty little ransom ware media outlets and set them straight, its not like they could be any more filled with propaganda anyway.
  12. Can you hook it up to an external display and have you tried a hard restart by holding the power button for 10 seconds?
  13. Maybe something like this
  14. For an extra 75% on top yes, did a little research as I managed to return it, as far as we can tell the entire batch shipped to NZ were the dodgy ones, there were no two platter ones at the distributors at all. Ended up getting A WD Green 2TB despite my massive mistrust of them as the only other stuff in the price range was Seagate which I had not checked out. Hitachi stuff was twice the cost for the same space so I decided against them.
  15. Excrement, I just got shipped one of these for my own personal pc build, turns out there are two types under the same model number, the two platter one which is decent and 30% faster and the three platter which is slow and unreliable, trouble is there is no way to tell other than weight now they have obscured the serial numbers. Apparently the 2 platter ones are about 500g and the 3 platter ones are about 600g. Amazon.com: niels' review of Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ... Having just got a 600g drive I am sending it back unopened, cant trust WD drives due to my experiences in schools so looks like I am getting Hitachi if I can even source them here.
  16. It will only show the apps that are installed. I got it going but I pointed to it in the user goo as it does not apply to w7 or lower so makes no odds to the existing setup.
  17. Ha, web based does not mean multi platform, almost all the dodgy web 'designers' that claim they can code end up relying on browser specific extensions anyway. I have lost count of how many 'multi platform' sites that require browser x version y to work properly. You are just trading one form of compatibility for another. If your platform is not supported by the browser or you aren't happy with having three browsers you need to update every week or so it is actually less compatible than a nice stable OS that at least admits what it is trying to be. I do find it funny that even the Google loving oss crowd have admitted the 2011 nexus 7 was junk now, I cut my losses with my ones too.
  18. One of our local High schools has gone chromebook and is in turn pressuring by example their feeder schools. MS tablets are still a hard sell despite their excellence in some areas ironicly because their management ability sucks. It is like they threw out everyone who was doing the good stuff and promoted the apple following coffee swilling hipsters who should have been cleaning the building instead. Still not enamoured with chromebooks because I don't trust Google at all and it seems to be furthering the playschoolisation of computers. I swear the UI of the future is going to be blocks and crayons.
  19. You lot must live in an interesting world, I have never seen a Google ad on TV, even the Microsoft ones are scares, the only company bashing my retinas in is crApple.
  20. Have you got any https inspection or deep packet inspection running on the sw, this could easily break it if it is rewriting the tunnled traffic. Test by putting you windows box in front of the sw on the modem, if that does not work talk to the uni and your isp.
  21. I think freerdp might support that 5 year old feature of Windows
  22. Got forza, then new controller is really good for it as I am almost ok at it as opposed to hitting every wall in previous titles.
  23. be fair, with the Chromebooks its not really you looking after them, its googles spying in homes division
  24. Sweet, no need to dust it or provide it power or anything, it's a modern day perpetual motion machine and all for the low low price of your soul.
