@pauska oh, I had no intention of defending them either. it just sounded a bit silly. but maybe there's some holdup in the process they use for 3rdparty stuff.
Had to pop by for a bit to let you know the latest from our head developer. He's just very loudly said "Product manager X is living in dreamy booby land! DREAMY BOOBY LAND!!"
yeah, and if I had to catorgorise what I spend most of my 'mod-time' on it's either quick flag-alerted non-answer deletes or spam-hunting, man I love a good spam-hunt
one of our developers needed a machine with a bit of power so I ordered him a HP DL580 G7 with 40 cores and 128GB memory, took a couple of weeks to procure/deliver only THEN did he say he also needed 24TB of usable R10 15krpm disk - great, could have mentioned that too!
Matt Simmons has had it up to here with booth-staff at technical conferences that don't know the products they're trying to sell. I totally know what he's talking about, if the person I'm talking to at a booth is only there to hand out glossy fliers and take my contact information so a sales engineer can call me next week, I wish I didn't bother stopping by. If I wanted to view their website, I…
that matty/1138 thing is funny, I speak at more conference than I purely attend and I NEVER do the 'floor-walk' thing, it's never of any value whatsoever, I'll happily do one-to-one's with the product managers of companies whose products I'm already interested in but shuffling along with a soggy paper plate of vile international food and being jumped on my idiots wanting to 'swipe my pass' (i.e. spam me) isn't productive
@Iain me too
@Iain actually bt broadband start nat'ing some of their clients on thursday night - just consumer line though, and only in dribs and drabs
it's hard to see when we might get it tbh the map gives general areas and none are directly Moreton/Upton etc although areas around us are getting it so won't hold me breath - get just under 7M anyways
Our (i.e. parents) AOL/TalkTalk contract runs out on the next few weeks...I'm pushing for BT Infinity (as we're with BT for phones already, don't have specalist Tv or anything) while my brother wants 02 :/
then update your original question with what you have tried and why the answers you have don't help, or make a new question based on what you have learned
I face two problems

Can anyone tell me how I can find my SMTP logs? I cannot get hold of our usual system admin at the minute and really need to view the info in these logs for debugging purposes.
Try posting it as a question that specifies what errors you're getting, if there's anything in the logs, and what changes you've made and the results, @amh.
@AMH Your question needs way more details. How large a file can you upload now, at what point does it fail. What exact error message does it give. What is shown in the log files. If you made changes to web.config what exactly did you change.
@BartSilverstrim Sorry, that hasn't worked since I was 9 years old. =P
HP MSA2000 SAN units are fairly infamous for throwing HOST_CHAN_LINK_DOWN errors at random times. Of course ours hasn't done it in months, so this Saturday at 8:07 AM my phone starts going off with an alert. Fortunately it self corrects nearly instantly and life goes on.
Right now, the most-read article on this website is my Nagios Configuration HOWTO. It was published on July 20, 2009, and at some point in time, it got picked up by the Nagios Community Site, and now I get a steady stream of people looking at it. So many that in a couple of years, [...]
Note to self...if I create a company/product with a tagline, don't make it something where a public failure will make said slogan/tagline look totally stupid.
@Iain We tend not to get much in the way of high winds in my neighborhood. The region is hilly enough to slow them down. According to the local weather station, we've gotten about 1.5 inches of rain since 00:00 yeasterday, though. While nothing compared to East coast, is quite a bit for us.
@Iain The weather here better hold up for at least a couple more days - I got a tandem and want to ride with my kid to school at least once before it gets cold or wet.
@Iain No, couldn't justify ~$2000 for a decent new tandem, but got lucky on craigslist and found an old one (from the early 1990's) in good shape and got it for <$400 Technically, the frame's too small for me, but I should be able to get a taller stem, and my 7 yr old daughter just barely fits on the back now, so it'll be good for her for a long time.
I'm sick of my company's Cisco 881W, seeing that it is a bitch to configure, and I don't want to deal with hair-pinning it to handle both internal and external requests on our external IP. I'm open to suggestions on a new wireless router for our network. We are a small business (8 employees), and at times, we have several external VPN connections at the same time.
@Chopper3 - I'm trying to get the VPN functionality to work between the edge device and a juniper SRX, but all the documentation gives me is that it uses "AES" for encryption
Sometimes there are things that come in that evoke only "agglel wha...huh?!" from my vocal apparatus. Usually followed by a slapping sound to the forehead.
@Holocryptic What about that one on SU that to the question "I want to restore my computer back to it's original state without re-installing" and their answer was a walkthrough of how to install Ubuntu -_-.
@BartSilverstrim It should work; though your last comment of 'some hardware combinations work better than others' seems to ring true. I've heard of people having issues with Windows not picking the drives up as the same drive. I have never had issues, but others certainly have.
If you're going software RAID, get rid of the proprietary controller.
And if you're not going to use the card the way it's designed to be used, I'd not trust hot swapping it.
Hell, I've used RAID cards the way they're supposed to be used and they still don't always work properly.
I don't want to tell the guy, "sure, it'll work..." then have it fry his drive or electronics or corrupt his server.
If he's really determined he can just test it with a few yanks and insertions on the server and see what fries. That's basically is what he's asking to do if he's asking others if it'll definitely work and he's not testing it.
Only with his method he'll test it by waiting until something is already dead and he has people screeching that the server's not working.
@AMH If I could downvote chat comments I'd be doing it now - THIS IS A POOR PLACE FOR YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS, IS THIS CLEAR, WE TALK ABOUT SANDWICHES AND GIRLS. If you want a question answering ask it on the main board but given this is a FREE service there's not certainty that it will be answered, though it helps if your question shows sufficient detail and you've done the most basic of self-help research yourself.

@AMH Now come on here nagging for your poor questions to be looked at again and I'll ban you from chat, understand?
I actually try to stay away from computers in general as much as I can, I find overall design much less stressful yet somehow better paid for some reason - but if I have to I prefer linux for speed and windows for comfort. What I meant was I don't every make/get food/coffee or anything else for anyone - I'll always pay but never get/make
@Chopper3 as long as you refill the coffee pot (with COFFEE) when you empty it -- I really don't care how it gets filled, but if it's empty when I get there heads will be removed and used as mugs!
@ITHedgeHog Root access doesn't shoot people in the foot. People shoot themselves in the foot.
nah, I'll buy the coffee machine, coffee, mugs, milk whatever but I don't make
@BartSilverstrim yeah, I find it easier to get 'general' stuff done - change IP/vlans, install/uninstall code, test stuff but then when I do production stuff I use linux
Honestly, I have to say, Windows has gotten better, I actually switched to OSX because of the abomination of Vista but since I have gotten a hold of 7, I love it. I still use OSX/Linux for all the dev stuff I can, though.
Or at least it would have been a bit easier to read if his first paragraph was the executive summary. ie, you are using mysqldump when you should be using mysql.
Is "The problem is that you can't be bothered to read the detailed answer that someone kindly typed out for you, containing exactly what you need to do to restore from your dump." too snarky? :p
@Zoredache FORGET THAT! We're all individuals! Don't treat us as groups! DAMN THE MAN!
Oh, and one on the answer "I checked md5sum of the file and its fine. I also checked the structure, all the tables are in there. What else should I check for?"
Strictly speaking, the question really isn't minus-vote worthy (after the edit), he's right. I think those are behaviour-response votes :). And he's earned them.
I have a no name, non-branded SOHO NAS unit. It allows me to format the HD with ext2 or ext3 (also FAT32, but who wants that?) and it's supposed to give me ftp (it does), SMB (it does, and NFS. The last is a problem. I haven't been able to connect via NFS. I've pinged the device by a name I g...
@WesleyDavid Trying to mount its data over NFS, but he gives no info on how he's configured it on the device or how he's tried to mount it on a client..
@BartSilverstrim So, he's asking if he can rip a disk from a software RAID'd array? I wouldn't want to try it, and neither would I do it, without shutting down, even if a SF'er told me to. If it goes wrong and he hoses his server his only defense is "the internet told me to do it"...which is no defense at all.
@BenPilbrow You got a bunch of upvotes from all the attention we were paying to it, and we eventually convinced him to read your answer and he figured it out.
Heh, I had an incling he was using mysqldump as the import tool too, but though I'd elaborate a bit to make it useful for others. That'll teach me for trying to be helpful :P
@WesleyDavid, I sorta understand the question, but if he's able to format the HD, it must have some sort of GUI-ish interface to do it.. so how did that work ?
Source control? Whenever she needs a change she's done before, she logs into a server at the customer where she deployed the change and copies the file over.
@voretaq7 Uhhh… of course… they're all like that.
