  1. In theory, I think that they could help. Not with actual speed, of course, but in enhancing the browsing experience. Which is good enough for a lot of people. Is the problem then the implementation? AKA, none of these apps really get the job done and they really are just bad softare?
  2. They use the same power and frequencies so the range in most cases is the same. You will probably have better distance luck with B. Orinoco/Proxim. The dish will probably work better for you.
  3. I don't understand how you are using the word "folding".
  4. @LLXX: Please explain. @kitaec: Some of the methods in this thread can be used for unattended. Look at sc.exe and the vbscript.
  5. I've seen this type of thing disappear after a reboot of the modem, router and PC.
  6. Implemented updates since 16Sep. Thanks!

  9. Should be all better now. Announcements are back on and working. Thanks again!
  10. Thanks. Announcements disabled for now while we fix the problem.
  11. Those programs could employ several forms of wizardry to provide a snappier browsing experience. Multiple network connections DNS caching Page caching Read-ahead caching (like undeadsoldier described) Registry/system/browser tweaks So, yeah. They could improve the browsing experience. But not all programs are the same and they probably all use different techniques. And a bloated, resource-hogging app could hurt you. The questions then become how much do they help and how much do they cost. Those are up to you. Disclaimer: I haven't actually used any of those apps. This is just me thinking out loud about what they might do.
  12. On each machine that needs to remember the password. So, yes. I don't have a clue what you are saying here
  13. Quicktime is tricky in that regard. I haven't seen that anyone has done what you are talking about successfully and reliably. You are probably best off just going with the "Alternative" installer. http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm
  14. Depending on your cash availability and how important it is that this policy be enforced, these things are AWESOME: http://www.centuriontech.com/products/centurionguard/ I've used them for public access PCs. Kiss your tech support worries goodbye! You get a fresh new client just like you intended every time you boot it up.
  15. So there is. I will blame this blunder on my sometimes over-eager filtering proxy. I see the table when I bypass it. Thanks! Being limited to one service would be a deal breaker for me. How many apps do you guys think most people need to run as a service? I need at least two, but probably three.
  16. Did you remove stuff with nLite or a similar application? If so, what did you remove?
  17. I've seen funny stuff happen like this before with both VMs installed. Try going to IE's options and look at the "Advanced" tab. Monkey around with either or both of the VM/JRE settings you find in there (depends on what you currently have installed and your IE version). This will involve rebooting a few times to get it right. Don't forget to use one of the lower IE security levels on the "Security" tab. Higher settings can hinder such things.
  18. Can Danny access DJ?
  19. Please explain. I don't understand how that could work.
  20. EDIT: I misread your post. Sorry.
  21. Yes. It blows a lot of air and the loud noise is quite surprising from such a small thing. I would prefer 3 intake and 1 exhaust in an attempt to keep the case overpressurized.
  22. I have one of these: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1169 and it is NO JOKE. I actually don't use it because it is too loud.
  23. I've had pretty good luck with Vantec's products. Only one complaint comes to mind and it is a minor one amongst many Vantec products I've owned and used.
  24. Thanks, jaclaz NT Wrapper looks great but I can't find the differences between the Lite and Pro versions. Do you know? The Lite version also comes with a neat app called SaferTray which helps keep wandering icons in the tray where they belong. I looked at that other app previously but didn't include it since it is aimed at programmers instead of users. But if you look at the comments at the bottom of the page you will see the familiar name Bilou_Gateux! I wonder if he got a copy and if it is suitable for use here? /me PMs him
  25. Try using drivers from the mobo manufacturer's site.
