Have you added all your accounts and made sure it has not autolinked them to their other contacts through facebook, exchange etc. Also has it run a full sync yet - check no errors in accounts screen. The other thing is are these only live messenger contacts, I know that service is winding down but I doubt that would have anything to do with it. When I got mine it did not do a full sync as i used a really old liveid and i think I needed to logon and answer a few extra questions to stuff they want to know now. Weird about the wifi, it does shutdown wifi when the screen sleeps and brings it back up when woken but this should not delay anything else. Hopefully they fix it in a firmware update, it is newer but has less ram, the others are a bit older and have had any bugs worked out.

It was expected that Intel were working on a steamer, they have been delaying it for ages and had to push out a point revision of the old stuff to patch the gap a little. This is probably an oversight thanks to their stretched and disrupted schedule, it may also not be the last 'little surprise' to shake loose with this generation of CPU and it's chipsets.

Was just about to recommend this, the 820 has replaceable and robust impact plastic shells and a miniSD card, I think there are 3D models of the design so you can print your own. The 920 is great but does not have the microSD or the OLED screen but it does have a better camera and screen resolution. I don't think Google has offered support for that directly but there is CloudMuzik Ported to Windows Phone 8, Brings Google Music | Windows 8 + Windows phone | Scoop.it that should offer support. You could also look at the Xbox music store which offers the same thing as far as I know and I think it was cheaper too. I have a WP7 and like it as it does its job, there are less apps but that is changing and the apps that are available are usually better and in most cases cheaper than the Android equivalents.

I found the Easter egg and was too far away to collect so have nominated @Arthur for the prize, by process of random selection. PM the OP to collect your prize.

Depends on the implementation and what you are trying to achieve, if your system has robust enough routing with large route/switch mapping table and layer 3/4 bridging meaning it only has to route once then it handles it just like switch traffic bridging it. It cuts down CPU use and removes the penalties in speed as it is just as quick as local switching but with all the benefits of routing. This is what I was talking about with regard to solid layer 3 switching earlier. There is too much but it depends on your situation. If you are dealing with every user being an active threat then a subnet per user is not excessive but almost no one is in that situation. As with everything it all depends on the situation. Some of this may change with IPv6 too.
-
Why stop there then, multiple links between multiple points BGP and/or IS-IS would probably allow for better link utilisation in that format. I can see how this could be more effective if lots of your traffic stays within the cabinet, being cloud based I'd imagine that most of your traffic would be going via the core to the net. Given the overhead of the routing protocols it may work out even. Separate subnets are easier to diagnose we just put them in different places.
-
Why are you trying to edit the version??? Anyhow try looking at the permissions and if all else fails boot it with a WinPE CD and edit the registry offline.
-
If you can afford switches like that, if you are looking mid range most are the old school type of basic routing and not layer 3 bridging so you get some hefty penalties on traffic speed and latency. It also depends on how big your system is, we ahve a 5412zl at the core that happily does all the layer 3 bridging, we could have the lesser 2900 series do it but their featureset is way more limited and it just makes more sense to do it at the core. Almost all of our traffic traverses back to the core anyway so the traffic patterns are not markedly different. If our resources were much more distributed then a different structure may be benificial.
-
And they may be missing the point, as above this would require L3 at every cabinet or at the least multiplying the backhaul links by the number of VLANs. The size depends on what kind of broadcast domain your system can cope with and what kid of isolation you want. We break stuff up into smaller subnets to limit broadcast domains - making bandwidth usage a little more efficient which can be big on wireless. It also helps limit certain attack and fault vectors like loopbacks and ARP poisoning. There can be additional security concerns using VLANs for isolation if you have trunked ports out in the open but the benifits almost always outweigh the risk.

Look for delprof2 you can pass it a list of things to delete or not delete etc. and it works with modern windows too. Delprof2 - User Profile Deletion Tool

Ouya review: can an indie console take on Sony and Microsoft? | The Verge It all depends on how they were rating it, they were ratinng it as a console and in comparison it is a trainwreck at the moment, in two months it may be different and hopefully they will do another review but for the moment as a console in the current state that it is being shipped to backers it gets this rating. Provisional rating maybe but that is what they chose to rate it as.
-
Quite possible but that is another extra cost. They may be able to fix the controler design before shipping but it is going to be uphill for them. It interests me as a media player but I'd probably just retrofit a Rπ which is cheaper, smaller, quieter and cheaper. They are going after the same kind of market and so something like the π is more likely to be their competition than something like the Wii. If the controler stays the same perhaps it would be better for them to offer a option to ship without one so you can build it up with componets you prefer like the Rπ.
-
You forgot the controler, with its lag and questionable build quality, again, it can be sorted but not simply with a software change (well excluding the lag).
-
Eep, thats worse when you find out that it is 3.5/10. Does show its linux underpinings though, its great, it can be whatever you want it to be, you just have to build it yourself, from scratch

LAN to LAN VPN - Draytek/Cisco
SYNACK replied to Graeme1978's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Have you checked that it is a compatible setup with the vendor, Cisco tunnels are a massive pain whe anything else is in the way and their implementation may not comply with all the same standards. I have had simmilar issues trying to use cisco tunnels through ISA (using their client software) as ISA wated to enforce TCP/IP rules and the Cisco implementation wanted to break all of them, this lead to half ope tuels or ones that were stable for only a few secods while traffic was beig passed through, a cotiuious ping would keep these open though. I can't remember what finally solved this as it was a combo of allowing a stack of protocols through ISA without any sanitising or inspection alog with a software update of both the client and server side. TBH it may be cheaper and easier just getting a little Cisco 800 series router to use as a gateway for it that speaks the same language. At any rate check with them if they have had that work and if they ca set it up with a more universal VPN type if they can to give that a try. Also check for any firmware updates for the Draytek and ask them to do the same at their end just in case. -
I think an unbranded version of this was my first cell too, an Ericson before sony got involved. It could recive texts but not send them, it may have eve been an older one.

EES is based on the number of full time staff or devices (I think). You do need to provide them with this number and this is how the price is generated. If you have a quote for this it should not require extra CALs and should cover the installation of the covered standard servers. There are exceptions like the advanced features of exchange or terminal services that do require CALs over and above. I could be wrong but this is my understanding. As above, when your agreement ends you need to renew it or stop using it. The benifit is that you always have access to the latest versions so you are not stuck with a really old and unpatchable system by the end of it. This also means that when a new thing comes out that you want to use you do not have to wait forever to refresh all your hardware up to that liscence level to get it.

Ick, another econazi. How efficient you are does not make you a good or bad driver, especially not in every sence. How many drivers that think like that would be completely ownd by and unprepared for something unexpected. You also get the fun tradeoffs where it may be more economical to not accelerate sharply and get into a worse accident instead of taking action to limit the damage or maybe even avoid it.

No USB port or keyboard on that though, every little connection is an extra proprietary adapter just like the iTrinkit. It is disgusting for the environment and just general usefulness as they nickel and dime the product to death.

CISCO Training and relevance to other networking kit??
SYNACK replied to Sam_Brown's topic in Wired Networks
Yes, ccna and ccnp are very useful even with no Cisco gear at all. They teach how networks actually fit together and work which is a skill that seems overlooked by many courses. Leaves stuff like n+ for dust in actual content. -
We have the opposite, should be cooling down and its still 25 during the day. The last time it actually rained I posted about it. The grass is petrified so it's all dead and almost looks snow covered in the right light. Climate change is here and messing with us all.
-
Yes it is built on the same platform but from a thread on here it does suffer from a few Acer type quality issues hence my recomendation of the hp instead, same platform but better build quality and almost certainly better implementation. The Acer should still work though but may be less of a winner than one of the others.

The Atom ones are fine and target a better power envelope for little tablet type usage. Intel have dropped the ball totally on the next gen iSeries for power envelope. As it has taken them this much longer to come up with a few underclocked iSeries units. How far are they actually behind and how good will be what they finally get out of the factory be. For a laptop replacement yes the iSeries ones will be much better but you will have rubbish battery life for the the forseeable future. If you want something that is quiet to take notes on in meetings with a decent battery life and decent software without millions of restrictions then you probably want one of the atom units. If it is going to be your only machine and you want to do heavier stuff on it then the compromise on the battery life is worth it. For the OP, I think the atom variation will be the best bet, they did not say that it needed to replace their main computer for everything as well, just be a companion device like an iPad but for doing work, the W8 stuff does it better.

Windows 8 tablet, best there is at rdp, useable as a tablet and a laptop, long battery life and way more versitile. Something like an hp envy x2 which comes with a detachable keyboard and trackpad. There is also no hassle then about compatibility or accessing stuff off the server, or printing, or installing required software or... you get the picture.

Thats a screenshot from at least 2008 if not r2, I have done it on an r2 box so it must be there.
