I purchased a new Lenovo T430 with Windows 7. I upgraded it to Windows 8. Someone spilled juice on my laptop and Lenovo is not covering it under warranty. The repair would cost me quite a fortune.
Consider this scenario:
I'm running Magento 1.4 Community Edition
I have a newsletter that I'm sending out 2 times per week
My list has 2000 subscribers
I'm on a shared hosting plan (linux on apache 2.2 with Cpanel)
My hosting provider limits me to 6 emails/minute
How can I send 2000 emails x...
@MDMarra Let's get that closed so we tell that "off topic belongs on ServerFault" asshole that crap belongs on SO with all the shit, and not on ServerFault.
If the recovery partition was pre-configured by Lenovo, the installation that it will restore to your main partition is likely keyed to an identifier in your BIOS
The whole point of an OEM license is that Microsoft offloads the support to an OEM like Lenovo or Dell. That's why they're so much cheaper than reltail licenses
I tried to dual boot Mac OS X Mountain Lion with Windows 7 on my laptop with a series of tools, Hackintosh, iATKOS, Unibeast but failed in all of my attempts. Either the installation fails or I receive boot0 error. Please help I really need it, can't afford to buy a Mac for time being :(

@vulcanraven A short circuit just means that two electrical leads on the motherboard that shouldn't have conductivity between the two do have conductivity. This usually leads to it not powering up or behaving very strangely. It has nothing to do with the hard drive. It also almost never causes permanent damage unless some of the charging circuits are shorted and it causes an actual spark/burn/fire
Trust me, in another life I was a hardware tech. I saved probably well over 100 laptops that were spilled on and had shorts with what I just told you to do
In addition to what @BrentPabst said, if you want OSX without the obscene EULA and crappy "features," you can dual boot Windows with something called Linux instead. It's a lot like OSX, except that it works. — HopelessN00b25 secs ago
If you want to throw your money away at another laptop and wrestle with Dell/Lenovo about support, that's your decision, but it seems like a waste of time and effort when what I'm suggesting has an incredibly high success rate
yeah but the short circuit was severe and my laptop is damaged. I used circuit tested, spent some time with it but its dead.. and I might have damaged some IC while I was on it

@Dan I did actually set a laptop on fire once. I forgot to take the battery out and I tried to start desoldering the DC power jack. I learned that lesson quickly :p
@vulcanraven Unless that person actually did what I said and cleaned the board off (which would have taken over 24 hours between cleaning and drying), they're lying to you
@MDMarra, of course its a best case scenario if I get lucky and my Lenovo get repaired without spending lot of bucks. But if its not the option, can I use the Windows 7 OS (preinstalled in Lenovo) on Dell laptop and then run Windows 8 upgrade which I purchased via Windows 8 upgrade offer, OR would I have to purchase Windows 8 for Dell separately?
If you extend it, but don't rescan on the host. Then you realize you fucked up and shrink it on the SAN before the host knows it was ever a different size, you should be ok
I'm having this issue where I always get script injection on my header file of the Wordpress theme.
So what happen is that I have to always check my source code everyday to see if there have been injected by some hacker and just remove it from the code myself.

@vulcanraven According to the terms of the license, no. That OEM Windows license is not transferable. If you can convince someone at microsoft to issue you a different key, then maybe. But honestly, I'd say your chances are slim
@vulcanraven This has been answered a few times already by a few different people. Are you trolling, or hoping that if you ask the question enough times, you'll get a different answer?
@MDMarra, thanks. So the Windows 7 licesnse belongs OEM. How about Windows 8 upgrade which I got for $40 from Microsoft. Is it also associated with OEM now? Can I use it if I buy Dell with Windows 7?
If you'd like to continue hanging out, that's fine. We even occasionally ask each other for help on stuff, but if all you're doing is asking for help over and over in this chat, you're doing it wrong
I'm wondering how to safely remove a domain user profile from a computer that is a part of a domain. I don't want to delete the account from the domain itself, I just need to remove the profile from this computer, to do some cleanup.
I'm currently on a Vista Business computer, but we also have W...
well this is a new one. The new amazing CLOUD backup system my boss wants to try on our mac server/san causes the whole fucking server to fall over the moment you try and run the backup software. Which is really confusing because I thought the cloud was magic and never crashed ever because it was made out of unicorn farts.
@BrentPabst Everything here is all Cisco voip. We do the phone rotation because it also has text/email alerts from orion delivered to it and people don't want those sent to their personal phones
@BrentPabst And there are 7 of us in the rotation and you get 2 weeks on deck then 2 weeks on call, then nothing for like 3 months. After xmas, I won't have it again until like march/april
@BrentPabst yeah, it's very heavy and all that, but wireless charging man.. how cool is it to just put you phone on top of a speaker and have it charge + stream music automatically
Installing WP, couple of plugins and a basic theme is good enough for me. If I start putting too many plugins on it or want to write my own theme I lose the will to live fairly quickly.
@MichaelHampton @tombull89 Yea, the downside to SPAs... requires the app to run completely in the browser and rely on it to balloon to handle the memory requirements.
@HopelessN00b I think we need to put together a wireless charging pad in the shape of a cloud and call it the "Cloud Pad"
@BrentPabst No shit. But I'm sure Apple would sue the shit out of us once it started making money, the name being an obvious rip off of their iPad and iCloud. :(
I have around 5 system in my network. All are windows 7 Professional and are connect through LAN. I can access all drives from one system to another. However, i want that some particular drives of systems can just only be accessed by 1 PC.
To be more precise: Let say we have 5 systems SYS1 SYS2 ...
Hey @voretaq7 I have sudden need of a NFS server with a bunch of space. If I use this x3850 that I have lying around and put freebsd on it do I have any chance of using the fusionio card?
@HopelessN00b Were you around when that kid asked for shopping on server hosting? I think his parents were going to stump up $10,000/month for up to a year for him to build the next facebook, or something.
