RE: To all Quebec Residents
I have mostly CFLs, but I also recognize that obsession with switching to CFLs is attacking the problem the wrong way. The CFL reduction in energy consumption and consecutively greenhouse gases is nothing compared to industrial and vehicle emissions... | Adeptus | General Chit Chat | 04-29-2008 at 05:10 AM |
RE: stripped screw
Filing is only an option if the screw isn't recessed, which the screws holding together housings of electronic devices usually are. It is probably not necessary to drill through the entire screw, just to drill off the head. That should be relativel... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-21-2008 at 01:46 PM |

RE: Is Firefox better than IE for businesses? [old thread warning]
shawnz gave one very good reason (lack of centralized management) of why Firefox is [b]not[/b] better in an enterprise environment. Another is Windows Integrated Authentication, which is extensively used for intranet applications -- and not supporte... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-07-2008 at 02:55 AM |
RE: really dodgy windows problem
The [b]correct[/b] password reset methods for laptops are very model specific (e.g. short two points on the main board somewhere, often accessible through the memory slot cover or by removing the keyboard), are described in the service manuals, and m... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 04-04-2008 at 01:45 PM |
RE: Reinstalling Windows without actually losing installed programs/drivers theory
What you just described is called "restoring a full backup". Instead of copying files yourself and screwing around with another OS, you could just use backup software designed for this purpose -- ntbackup.exe that comes with XP, Backup Exec, etc. ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-27-2008 at 07:15 PM |
RE: Bezier curve formula in C++
The statement that computes your formula doesn't alter "t", so you can simply "cout << t" before or after "ans", or do whatever you want with it. It's just a variable. I should also note that in your code, "t" is never initialized to anyth... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-26-2008 at 10:16 PM |
RE: Remote Account Creation
I assume your question is about using Windows management tools and not about gaining access to something you haven't been granted access to... There are two types of accounts: domain accounts and local accounts. As others have pointed out, to creat... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-24-2008 at 08:07 PM |
RE: [split] Accessing chat logs without the password
Should padlocks have an "open without key" button, in case you let your girlfriend chain you to the basement wall and she decides to leave you there and go on a vacation? 100% of your inconvenience results from not thinking through what you were do... | Adeptus | WLM Plus!

RE: Will the internet Die in 30 years?
The problem is overflow of 32-bit integers. If any systems using 32-bit timestamp are in service at that time, they won't necessarily crash. The date will simply roll back to January 1, 1970. For software that depends on date calculations, that... | Adeptus | General Chit Chat | 03-20-2008 at 07:49 PM |
RE: Just uninstalled vista sp1 beta
Nothing bad will happen. It's just a bigger download. I personally always use the full service pack downloads instead of Windows update. | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-19-2008 at 06:44 PM |
RE: the best city to live
Of the choices you listed, Toronto would be the only consideration. You couldn't pay me enough to live in any of the other places you named. Places not on your list where I'd be interested to live for at least some time: - St. Petersburg, Russia -... | Adeptus | General Chit Chat | 03-19-2008 at 10:05 AM |
RE: message concern
I presume the "contact" whose account was used is a boy about the same age as your daughter? The two things that need to be done here are 1)have the boy change his password; 2)advise him to be careful.

RE: hard drive problem
All hard drive manufacturers offer drive diagnostics utilities. Download and run one for your drive. I think it's very likely to be a failing drive, but for what it's worth, when I had this problem with my Linux machine, it turned out to be bad on... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-17-2008 at 06:20 AM |

RE: Hard Drive Issues
I think you will change your mind about that when you get your professional recovery quote. It won't surprise me if it's a 4-digit figure. Not to make you feel worse, but rather to point out a valuable lesson for anyone reading this thread -- if t... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-16-2008 at 07:43 AM |
RE: Hard Drive Issues
Actually, the "mechanisms" are more than likely fine. The drive electronics (circuit board on the back) are what's been damaged. To revive the drive, you will need to find an identical drive (same exact brand / model / size) and borrow the board ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-15-2008 at 11:16 PM |
RE: Looking for intel driver
Oxy, Let's start from the beginning. Assuming you are correct about GMA 950, the driver download you need is named win2k_xp14323.exe -- if that is what you have been downloading, you don't need to re-download it. If not, go to [url]http://download... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 03-13-2008 at 07:15 AM |

RE: [?] Is my math (a bit) out here?
