Objectively finite, subjectively infinite. I don’t bittorrent sync so :P. I've been using drop box for many years now. It's easy, simple, and again easy. I now have less reason to carry around a USB key or a data that I need to access somewhere, somehow. But it stores data on their server? And from past experience, it is vulnerable. Then I come across an article online regarding BitTorrent Sync. BitTorrent? Well it uses some of its technology, but it was more meant to be a DropBox replacement. However, w...

Objectively finite, subjectively infinite. I am new to MS Power Shell. I've heard great stories from the net as to how great this was . but I really didn't have to learn it as most of the Windows GUI did the trick. But then, I quickly need to come up with all of active users from the Windows 2008 R2 server, along with the creation date and last log in date of the each users. So after few searches online, I have come up with the following Power Shell command. REF: http:/ blogs.technet.com/b/heyscr...When ...

Objectively finite, subjectively infinite. ATA and AHCI Woes. Nice trying to install Win XP? Hmm well you might have fallen into issue with the installation not recognizing the hard drive for some reason. Issue? HDD setting in the BIOS. By default, new laptops are setup to run in AHCI. Problem: Windows XP usually don't understand AHCI until SP3 (even then, some issues there depending on the model). There are work around it by:. Slipstream correct driver in a new WinXP CD. But wait. is it this simple?

Objectively finite, subjectively infinite. Do you cherish your memories? With my recent hard drive failure at home server, I realize how I have been neglecting the importance of backup. Luckily, most of the important files, especially photographs were scattered somewhat so that I was able to recover some of the more memorable events.

Objectively finite, subjectively infinite. Palm pre vs iPhone Gs. My contract is coming up November and I am needing to figure out my options. Two phone. A that caught my eye were iPhone and palm pre. From hour or so of idling on internet I found out that it is not that obvious choice. Following is brief summary of what I found so far.
