  1. Depending on the make and model of you RAM the amount recognized by certain software and Windows itself may be skewed. I have, as well as many others I'm sure, have seen this all over the place. And you're asking how many GB 352MB is... exacly .352GB ;) 1 GB = 1024MB

  2. Interesting... I'm an admin over a 800 user network and my users have no problem using jump drives. And let me tell you AD is locking them down beyond belief. They have no admin or power user rights what so ever. I personally have not seen this box you speak of which requires an admin logon to install the new deive. Let me read up on it and see if I can find a reason...

  3. I mostly hibernate my machine instead of shutting it down and when I come back from a hibernation Winamp isn't there. This has been happening ever since I began running Winamp. Just wondering if it happens with anyone else and if so do we know the reason why? All my other apps come back just fine, but Winamp isn't even open anymore... no tray icon, nothing. Thanks guys! :thumbup

  4. holy crap, i can't believe how simple the solution was :wacko: ...the ide cable i had hooked up to the optical and hdd was going bad; replaced it with a new one, problem went away....i guess i'm still a 'tard at heart :rolleyes:

    hehe :thumbup

    Just like in Networking... layer 1 baby... always check the physical stuff first ;)

  5. Dude, you're making this way more confusing then it has to be. You are right in thinking that it could be considered a middle man however. Think of it this way, your at work... they don't want you looking at porn, active directory forces the networked users to pass through x.x.x.x proxy server. So now when you go to the net, you're authenticating to the proxy, its saying ok you're good to go, depending on the server it does a many-to-one translation and pushes you out on the public side of the network. All the while blocking and only allowing you to see what it wants.

    People commonly use anonymous free proxies to spoof their true IP on the net, I suppose it makes them feel like they're in the NSA and high tech or something. :P

    Lastly, no... you're not using that servers particular 'bandwidth' so to speak.... you have your cap on your connection as does this server, wherever it may reside. You are using a portion of the bandwidth while it processes your requests, but would never be 'inheriting it's speed'.

  6. As far as coding what you want to be done into the archive I don't believe it's possible. You could however compile the SFX and then create a scripted .bat file on the disk and use WinRAR's command line to extract the archive where you want.

  7. I think this book might interest you. It is a CCNA book and approaches many topics "the way Cisco sees it," but the writer, Todd Lammle, does a great job of laying out the basics in an interesting and humorous manner. This is the only geek book I have that actually made me laugh. I find that a good dose of humor helps me stay interested/focused ;)

    I'm reading this now studying for the 640-801, although I have a background in networking already, TAiN is right, this is an amazing book and lays out everything in an easy to understand way. However, being that its a Cisco book, it is geared towards networking in the way that "Cisco wants you to learn it."
