Yay, another phased approach meaning if it does not do really well in the US they won't bother anywhere else even if there is a market. They really know how not to drum up hype and support.

Can also be a crashed printer, just pull the power on it and restart it, it will probably solve the problem temporarily. Usually RAM going which you can replace on large printers.

The 5 Best Free Benchmark Programs for Windows

I had a 1998 Vectra ( whatever obscure plate number that is ) and you could change them easy enough, there was a moveable relay box you had to slide out of the way though.

I'd hate to have to top up the oil, you probably have to pull the engine :-)

Installing XP from WDS image to preinstalled Windows 8 laptop.
SYNACK replied to profit10's topic in O/S Deployment
You'll have a hell of a time finding drivers for an os that old on modern hardware. At the least you may need sata drivers to make it boot even with ahci off, unless there is an ide compatibility mode still built in. -
Blocking memory sticks, mobile phones and cameras
SYNACK replied to ReverentCreature's topic in How do you do....it?
Group policy can block USB device types and require encryption on windows 7 or above. Intel vpro machines also have a bit of software. You may also be able to disable them in the individual PC's BIOS but that is just turning them off rather than a specific block. -
Lots are sealed now so short of cutting it open your choices are, recharge, recondition, replace.

How to secure a wireless network against hacking attempts?
SYNACK replied to Thelps's topic in Wireless Networks
Use WPA2 with a decent password, turn off WPS ( the easy pin code join ) and bes sensible with power settings. Hiding the ssid and Mac filtering are largely pointless as WiFi scan apps find them easily and Mac filtering is defeatable in seconds with a packet scanner. -
Have donor car running and connect engine block to engine block with negative then connect positive to donor positive terminal then to dead positive terminal. Leave donor running for a little bit to get a little charge in the dead battery so it does not act as a current drain during starting and cause itself more damage by trying to draw out whatever little current may be left causing more such Sulphation of the terminals. Keep donor running while starting dead car. ... Profit :-) Edit, red to red first apparently from above but I'd do the rest as I describe, has worked for me many times when jumping tens of late model cars for staff.
-
Oops, re-read. You should not be connecting the jump leads to the negative on the battery but rather a metal point on the chassis like the engine block. Otherwise you are in danger of cooking the ECU even with surge protected leads.
-
The terminals are different sizes and it should be written on the battery, just check the one that does have markings and you should be able to tell.
-
Deny overrides allow though so a full control would not cause it.

This is where temperal mechanics are tricky especially with multiple universes which have already proven they are able to house paradoxes and fragment. There aren't definite rules so they don't have to worry too much about breaking them.

@tech_guy has a batch of these in a school http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/106627-hmmm-asus-nexus-7-not-impressed-so-far.html Despite the thread title it is reasonably positive.

I never said anything about feeling safe just that he is only one of many evils, he just happens to be acting against some of the other evils, in a sad way this is as close to balance as we can expect in todays society.

I'm guessing you don't interact with your government or any large company then, they just get away with it.

Fan of Java? That was their whole claim to fame, now of course it is a platform that makes exploits as vendor neutral as possible :-) It did vendor neutral better than any browser though, html5 is still an inferrior bastardised document markup language like PDF on steroids.

You're obviously not a member of the Firefox or chrome dev teams then, that is their entire modus operandi. Still if your hardware is running old versions you are still making them learn, just MS's history rather than the modern ui guidelines of what they are probably running at home. Given your views would you even support a Windows RT device or would you browser snob it and demand they use chrome under xp or an android variant. As much as I hate Apple devices I do make the pathetic things work with our gear.
-
What about the new users, you are sacrificing these users experience to help the others from avoiding learning, as it is a school filled with young people and only a few teachers (comparitivly) are you not doing greater harm by serving the few and forcing the many to use museum antiquities for their education. Do you still teach math on abacuses and write on chalk slates.
-
Users do care when their OS is completely foreign and unprecedented to them along with looking like it came from the stone age with 16 colours. The forum may like new OSes and the enhanced managabiliy and reliability simply for the ease of management and efficiency for the schools. You definitely lean in the other direction completely dismissing the OS and attempting to push everything to external providers or services that buy into the even more clickish browser as an OS, WebKit or nothing crowd.

All of this is kind of academic anyway as the really difficult stuff is going to require good old fashioned research to and with the device Id, name etc.

Rubbish, you'd still be using 2k if they'd let you

I use IE, 9 and 10 are fine and as above the others are all horrible to manage centrally. Congrats to the site and its members for creating such a community.
