I hope they fixed the long boot time because I don't want to wait any longer than 1,5 second for my camera to start and I definitely don't want to navigate through some menu to find the "camera" application ... on my camera.

@manuleka: in most cases that's normal. Those smaller drives park their heads a lot quicker and more often than regular drives in order to protect the disk in case you drop your laptop. Concerning your test: I'd simply format the drive and use it, I have a few 20 years old disk drives that still work like a charm. From the beginning these things have had a large fault tolerance and they are hard to destroy when they're not running. If you really need to be 100% sure you can: read out the SMART values. It might sound odd, but I use SpeedFan for this because it provides you with an interesting on-line in-depth analysis write and verify data until the disk is full (but this takes a lot of time and I wouldn't know what tool to use) listen, listen and listen. Mechanical failures are easy to spot as long as you listen carefully.

Okay, there is simple and simply wrong. First of all: all visible content should be inside the <body> element. Second: a <header> with a <title> is also a nice start (tough not mandatory afaik) Third: simply giving a table as example ain't very nice . I still remember how confusing it all was the day I started learning HTML . A nicer example is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Example</title></head><body><h1>This is a header</h1><p>And this is some content</p><p>Here is a new paragraph. <br /> And here is a new line in the paragraph.</p></body></html>

Micro Usb - Why Hasn't It Being Used On Small Devices?
wutske replied to manuleka's topic in Hardware Workshop
Wow ... a short circuit caused by micro-USB connectors ? Weird ... -
as Velma said, it's indeed in the support area: @Velma: I do understand that there are customers who want their passwords to be sent to them because they've forgotten it and it's great to be able to recover your password, but so do hackers. Any hacker getting access to your system could download and publish or sell them. It would be reassuring to know that it's stored using encryption (eg with. AES) and not just in plaintext. And thanks for the welcome back It's been too long I've been here...

Micro Usb - Why Hasn't It Being Used On Small Devices?
wutske replied to manuleka's topic in Hardware Workshop
I think both answers are correct. First of all, the tiny microUSB port are absolutely not capable of providing the USB3.0 transfer rates and they probably wouldn't resist the high current that USB3.0 can deliver. Since they are much smaller, they are also more fragile; think about the many times you've inserted the cable the wrong way around or think about the times you left something hanging from the USB port... Compatibilty is also extremely important, having nothing but micro-USB ports would render all your USB-sticks useless or you'd have to buy a converter and have it all the time with you ... so maybe it's one of the next features of the MacBook Air -
3 runs isn't a lot, I would go for at least an hour while looping nothing but test number 5. If that one turns out error free, then you know it's not your RAM. Other issues could be: faulty PSU failing CPU cooler failing NB cooler bad capacitors virus driver issue data corruption ... That's why there are STOP codes, they give you a good direction

okay, ignore this post. I can login now ! Looks like password replication took a while. The WTF however remains valid, this MUST be improved ! I can not understand how these things still happend in a time where large companies have been hacked without any problems and passwords were stolen and published (read: linkedin).

Good Comments Make Good Html. Commenting makes HTML easier to write.
wutske replied to vujsa's topic in Programming
When it comes to java code and stuff like that, I never comment the end of a loop because most IDE's are capable of highlighting the end of a block and code indendation makes these things even more clear. For HTML code on the other hand I sometime do mark the end of large div's and large tables, but only when those elements are used for layout purposes. Hehe, same idea . I still hardly use any HTML comments, even when multiple developers are working on the same project. Html comment doesn't stand out of the rest of you're code (since it's just another tag) so added a lot of comment doesn't make thing better. We also hardly change the layout of our pages so there's no need to know what does what and why certain things are there. In case we need to change something we just start our reverse engineering using FireBug, this works much faster than understanding comments you wrote a year ago . -
Windows Xp/7 Image Mod/deployment Tools
wutske replied to manuleka's topic in Websites and Web Designing
nlite is the best solution. You can do it manually if you want, but that'll take you a lot of time. You'll need some tool to download the patches manually: http://www.wsusoffline.net/ -
Strange, now I can't login anymore I used the password given by the support, the one stated on the "product details" and even after changing my password I still can't login to cpanel or ftp. Besides: a big WTF for showing my password in PLAINTEXT (and probably also storing my password in PLAINTEXT).

I think I got the mail but clicked it away too quickly . Going to close the ticket, thanks for the great support !

Hello,I can't access my site anymore: wutske.astahost.com . Ftp and CPanel are also not available.I think I'm on the Omicron server now (used to be Gamma)

Windows 7 Different Wallpaper On Each Screen
wutske replied to manuleka's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Out of the box it can't. Most people you use their fav image editor to stick images to each other (or they just download dualscreen wallpapers). -
joink, read your post too fast Anyway, issue is similar in MsSQL server. Just google something like "MS SQL server remote connection"

I have Avast as my Anti-virus and Comodo as my Firewall and this seems to work pretty well.I did disable the Comodo defense and anti-virus modules because1) Avast it's main business is AV, Comodo's main business were Firewalls, so for me Avast AV > Comodo AV2) The Defense modules asks to many questions and I just ended up clicking yes without thinking

Had the same issue when Skype was running since it has an option to listen to port 80.Try stopping Skype and restart your Apache server.

Dudes, don't start speculating like this Can you provide us the STOP code ?

MySQL is configured to not allow any remote connections, this is for security reasons (because the webserver and database server are often on the same machine). You'll have to change your MySQL configuration to allow remote connections and also grant your user remote access to your tables. This should get you going: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html

H2 and HyperSQL are two great alternatives too, tough they are more used by Java developers for doing in-memory database testing (like me ). They both say they should fare well in production and performance should be good too. If you'll have a high load on your site I'd stay with MySQL. Another one is Derby, but I'd stay away from that one because it's quite lacking in performance (it's about 4x slower than MySQL).

Wow, do .tk domains still exist ? Last time I remember seeing a .tk domains was like 8 years ago. These domains were a real plague 10 years ago, they were mostly full of viruses, adware, spyware ... and any sort of malware you can possibly imagine. And don't be fooled, there is no such thing as free domain names. Go check out the source code of your webpage once it's on a .tk domain. I'm pretty sure there's some nifty javascript added to it . If not, there's probably another catch.

If you want to access it from any pc in the network then there are two things you want to do:1) change your VMWare network configuration so that you use a "bridged interface" instead of NAT. This means that your virtual machine will act as if it has a network card on it's own which is directly connected to your switch (if it's set to NAT, the your 'real' computer will forward all the messages to the virtual machine and your network will be unaware of the virtual machine). If you use a bridged interface then your virtual machine should have an IP-adress which is in the same range as your 'real' computer.2) configure your Ubuntu firewall. If it's for testing purposes only, disable it, otherwise it's best to look up some guide on the internet to configure the firewall in Ubuntu to allow incoming data on port 80 and port 443. If you want to access FTP you'll also have to open port 21 and 22.

Best Fps Ever! what do you think is the best fps ever?
wutske replied to iGuest's topic in Computer Gaming
That's a tough one There are many new first person shooters out there lately and there are a few great one between them like CoD4 and Battelefield BC2. For me however, the best FPS ever is Quake III. It's easy, it's fast paced and even tough the graphics sucks, you can run it on every PC and laptop which makes it an awesome LANparty-game .Also not to forget is CS:S, but I like this less because if you're good at it then the only thing you get to do is die.Ow, and if I have to stay in the present, I really like Metro2033. It's creepy and you have to keep focused or you end up like in CS:S -
You don't have to worry too much about the CPU temperature. A CPU can handle 90-110°c without any problems and it shuts itself down automatically at something between 100°c - 120°c. So no matter what happens, your CPU won't burn. On the other hand, high CPU temperatures do decrease the lifespan of your CPU, but by the time your CPU dies you've probably already bought a new laptop . Now, I don't know who told you the normal operation temperatures should be between 30°c and 40°c but that is really low for a laptop. My Core i5 is now idleing at 40°c and that CPU is much more efficient than the N830.Even a slight load already makes the temperature increase to 55°c. Now, if you're realy worried about the temperature then you might want to try RMClock. This tool will allow you to do two things: 1) Alter the CPU clock speed 2) Lower the voltage applied to the CPU depending on the speed it is running at. By altering the CPU clock speed you can force the CPU to remains at a lower frequency for a longer time (lower frequency == lower voltage == less heat). This will make it more comfortable to use the CPU while surfing and you'll hardly notice the speed impact. However, this will not reduce the heat produced when playing Fifa 12 because you're CPU will always be running at it's max speed (and thus also it's max voltage and thus it's max heat output). Using RMClock you can also change the voltage which is applied to the CPU depending on the speed it's running at. Now, there is no rule how much you can lower the voltage, this is just trial and error; lower it, test it and if it doesn't crash it's fine. Now, be aware that changing the CPU voltage and speed (and using RMClock) is at your own risk .

Best Operating System Till Date
wutske replied to ashish.bhatnagar's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I don't realy believe that the support for x-bits has anything to do with how great an OS is. Windows 3.x was a 16-bit OS and it was great, Windows 95 made the transition from 16 to 32 bit and it was good at that time (except it's lack of Plug and play, but that's something else). Windows 98 was 32-bit as wel as NT4 and 2000 and afaik they were all pretty good. Windows ME was 32-bit and it sucked bigtime. XP was 32-bit for a long time and it was awesome. The 64-bit version was pure crap because it was a miserable patched version of XP. Vista was crap, both 32 and 64-bit version. Windows 7 is great, both 32- and 64-bit versions and the same thing might be true for Windows 8. So, the address size has nothing to do with the greatness of an operating system and as long as 3,2Gb of memory is sufficient to run the next version of Windows/Mac/Linux then I don't think that 64-bit is a must. Besides, "The best operating system till date" should be about the operating system and not about the hardware it runs on. A great user experience on a brand new pc can turn into a nightmare when you run it on exotic or plain old hardware, so it wouldn't be a faire comparison, would it ? Fyi: I have a 64-bit Windows 7 at work with 8Gb of memory, a 64-bit Windows 7 with 2Gb of memory, a 32-bit Windows 7 with 3Gb of memory and a 32-bit Windows 7 with 2Gb of memory and they work exactly the same, one is just a bit faster than the other.
