Correct, but it doesn't work with iOS5 now... :( The original author of the Airprint hack is working on the iOS5 issue. If you really want a windows box to provide to iOS5 devices then google fingerprint (its paid for software). I have this set up so users with company iPads and iPhones can...

sbridgey, i'm gonna have to disagree with you on that too.. Acer's idea of making it look better is.. put more LED lights in it.. looks flashy init' Danny, Specification on the HP isn't the best, 5,400 rpm disk and core i3 isn't great by today's standards, but it's all relative as to what you...

Strangely enough, having owned a 172, a 182 and now a 197 yes they have. The 197 was a huge leap forward in build quality.. still no BMW lol but certainly an improvement.

There were s**t and still are. There has not been any improvements. Next time you get your hands on one open it up and look at the chips Northbridge/Southbridge etc. If you have a MBP then you obviously understand what build quality means... That's something Apple does (pretty) well. Acer.. not...

I have a lot of experience in all computer hardware manufacturers. Thanks. If you want a POS sure, go right ahead and get that Acer.. It is PC Worlds/Curry's top selling brand after all... and all technically minded people like to shop for their computer hardware there.. oh wait.. lol People...

ROFL !!! You say the HP is crap and then your recommend an Acer ?? Acer's are the worst, most badly manufactured, unreliable, cheapest component filled POS available to man.

I use linux.. what's a virus ?

Airprint compatible... what's that ? Get the hacked version and use pretty much any printer you want ;)

Can't help you with the surround sound, but the reason why you found the above and can download the libraries etc is because of the Linux licensing model. Basically, they have to to stay legal ;)

Ive recently been setting up some CCTV systems for remote site security and time lapse projects. Always use Axis kit, eg. Axis 215 PTZ, Axis M1114 720p, Axis P1247 1080p all POE so 1 cable to run. Quality kit indeed.

I use eBuyer a LOT ! spend thousands each year. Their deliveries are quick, order accuracy has been 100% and the most important thing for me is their returns policy is excellent. Just a week ago I had to return a TomTom which was DOA. Sent it back and couple days later had a replacement unit...

I'm not with BT, but if my ISP blocks it then good luck to them.. I have a million ways around any block they put in place.

do some basic diagnosis. Does the router have internet connectivity ? If yes, does do you get connectivity using a cable ? if yes, check you are connected ok to the wireless then check the address allocation on the wireless adapter and ensure the dns server and gateway look sane. Once you...

Almost exactly what I do, except I have a small test lab that it goes to first, then a guinea pig group, then mass deployment. Set up reports so you get weekly emails highlighting any systems that have had problems updating which you can then address on a system by system basis or if fix via...

I know you probably have a specific reason for wanting a hardware write protection switch, but couldn't you just use filesystem level write protection ? I know you said no overwrite by software but you didn't state why, if it's so the user cant change it then surely they can still just flick...

Glad to hear you got the Panny, in my experience Panasonic make the best Plasma's just now. LG used to be shockingly bad but they have got a bit better recently. Still wouldn't buy one though.

I've used WSUS extensively. Post what's wrong.

I've replaced a number of screens in Latitudes, once you have done your first it's not difficult. The hardest part is feeding the cables for the antenna's back in their cables routes ! Bloody fiddly ! 25 in an hour is pretty quick ! Did they all work afterwards though ;) :P

If your copy of Windows is genuine (course it is right ;)) firstly install MS Security Essentials (it's free) and run a full scan. If that turns up nothing then go down the Malware Bytes/Hijack this route. Also, check your DNS servers and check your hosts file to make sure they have not...

I pop by now and then. ;)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you. The specifications for networks over CAT5/6 state that you can run up to 100m between devices (be that a computer, switch, hub etc). So once again, please, stop spouting crap about things you don't know. Exactly.

As mentioned, buy an Air duster (not the cheap ones, they have no pressure in them). If the laptop is on lock the keyboard turn the laptop upside down and blast away.. all kinds of s**t will fall out ;) Then just go over the top of the keys with some computer wipes.

Go into Device Manager, Find the item you want under USB controllers, Properties, Driver, Roll back driver. If that doesn't work delete the device from the list then right click scan for hardware changes.

Definitely a break in one of the pairs, you don't need all the pairs to run 100mbit. Cat6 is much more prone to line breaks over CAT5E. As mentioned, replace it with CAT5 WTF ? The specs are it's good for 100m + 5 meter patch. Stop spouting crap. It's marketing getting their say again...

Stupid double post !

Well as you have already discovered, hyper-v doesnt like USB passthrough. I had a similar situation trying to connect a serial modem to a guest. Ultimately until ms pull their finger out the best way to do it is using serial over Ethernet.. Or in your case USB over Ethernet like...

if it's 2003 or older it should take seconds to crack with any of the programs available. If it's 2007 or newer then it will probably be a brute force/dictionary attack you need... which can take some time depending on the complexity of the password.

Here is a config I wrote for my work. it transmits two SSID's - "Company" and "Company-Guest" It is configured for our Virgin ADSL backup line It uses wpa2 It uses RADIUS to authenticate wireless connections on "Company" but WPA2 to authenticate connections to "Crummock-Guest" (you wont be...

Common misconception, it's still illegal in the UK. But I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for it.

All I would say is that qualifications aren't everything, but in your case it may be worthwhile if you are just starting out. I only have a RHCT and a CCNP.. but I've been in IT for over 10 years now and now run the IT department in the company I work for. If you were looking to specialise as a...
