I love the names, rep for that. Although they are both asleep (apparently), which is less than satisfactory. Come on matt, get it together

Few, in my experience. Most software houses currently grant a site license and trust the institution, because it's in their own interest since: It would be an important factor, certainly. Please imagine that you are one of a team of two looking after 500 desktops and 300 laptops, some of which are staff machines so you only see them rarely. This is not an uncommon situation in UK schools. A teacher asks you in November to install this software, which you know there isn't time to do until the following Summer, so you tell him this and he is disappointed, but accepts the situation because he realises how overworked you are already. The Summer arrives and you distribute the software unattended, and spend three weeks going around every machine to register it (which takes longer than you anticipated, because the LEA's filter is paranoid and stops you, and you have no local control over it - also common). After doing so, the teacher explains that because it took so long to get it set up, he's already found a web-based alternative and forgot to tell you, because he's a busy guy too. You are later taken to hospital after jumping off three bridges. Personally, an ideal solution would be one of: a) an MSI transform holding our license number that we apply to unattended installations, and your installer checks it against your server automatically (but remember the problem with filtering); b) a totally web-based application, with our static IP address registered against it. This is also easier for you to maintain; however, be careful of LEAs that proxy every school in the county through one IP. Kudos for coming and asking though. It beats most edu-houses, who write a mediocre application, wrap it in a poor installer, and sell it to teachers without any consideration for how it's going to get on their machine.

And technical people wonder why users get frustrated because they think they're being talked down to? Might be an own goal.

I had "at warp 9.05" and "in 1.02 micro-fortnights".

I would seriously consider a Safestick if it worked natively with Linux kernels and you provided source (NDA if you like) so it can be audited. Not until.

A dry joint is one which has not properly formed during soldering, and increases the resistance of the electrical path. If they are allowed to wear, the whole joint can disintegrate. Why do you think Cat5 doesn't include any soldered joints in the specification?

I don't see why. I've only had one problem with Netgear's pro range, and it didn't affect link quality. If you've had a bad experience, do please be less vague.

There is no contract with the store until the till attendant accepts your offer and takes money from you. Until then they can refuse sale for any reason. This is different, because the order was accepted and payment taken, so a contract for two licenses was entered into. If RM failed to fulfil that, there is a case for action.

Bad Idea™. In a year's time you don't want to be redoing it because the solder joint has dried out; at least use junction block if not a proper connector. An IDC connector is the best solution.

Then it sounds like analogue or digital phone trunk cable - just keep the pairs correct and you can jumper cat5 onto them.

In the first place this is false; in the second place, computer accounts aren't considered when calculating printer permissions so the deny isn't even applicable.

How to configure Nagios to send sms to your mobile Mezgani blog

I used to use a web-based SMS because I'm cheap, but the place I was working at had an old Nokia wired up to the nagios server and stuck some credit on it from time to time. Then if something serious died, it could still send an alert. I think it used gnokki.

15.4" widescreen or 4x3? Have a product photo?

If the cable to be extended is also cat 5, you can just jumper it but make sure it's pin to pin. If it's two pair, you just need to be more careful and don't connect all strands. If you're not sure, don't try.

Once again, I have two vouchers for two months free subscription to Lovefilm (T&C). They are worth up to £37 depending on the subscription level you choose and although you have to register with a debit/credit card, you are not obliged to pay anything if you cancel before the end of the trial (as far as I am aware). First come, please PM or email me your postal address (existing Lovefilm subscribers are not eligible).

Is the source available so it can be audited?

It's red because your contributions are more aggressive and confrontational than they are constructive, informative and helpful.

I doubt the password is on the bootloader, I expect it's the user account password in Ubuntu he's forgotten. Briefly, you need to: 1. boot from a live cd and mount the root filesystem. example, it's at /dev/hda1: mkdir /mnt/tmp; mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/tmp 2. mount other filesystems into /mnt/tmp/... if required 3. chroot to the temporary filesystem and change his password chroot /mnt/tmp; passwd 4. exit the chroot, unmount filesystems and reboot If you need it I'm in Warwickshire and available in the morning or evening, but not afternoon.

Paste the code where you retrieve the data. You're obviously using a library somewhere along the way, and you're getting an object back not just a plain array. A PEAR SQL library by any chance?
