Computer software / Re: Converting work computer for personal use
« Last post by patio on Today at 11:40:12 AM »
Desktop or Laptop ? ?
Make and Model # ? ?

Best thing to do with a used PC always is a wipe and clean install...
Depending on the Model it may have a hidden factory restore partition which would cost you nothing to use.

Computer software / Converting work computer for personal use
« Last post by landfilltim on Today at 11:31:55 AM »
Hello, I resigned from my employer recently and they let me keep their computer.  I worked for a major Car and Home Insurance company.  My login to the network is going to expire soon and I will not be able to use the computer anymore.  I need to know how to erase all of the administrator stuff and convert everything to normal personal use before the login expires.  Can you help?

Windows Vista and 7 / Re: Constant writing to hardrive

Yes...
It's small and completely unobtrusive...
I've known the Author Mike Lin for a long time.
It will place an item in your Control Panel called Startup...from where you can run it.

P.S. Don't turn anything off if your not familiar with it...check in here 1st if any questions.

Habits:  I was talking about kicking Google out of my life.  ;)  And is Startup CPL good for W7-32 also?  His website states that it's for XP and Vista.

sorry I forgot to add that I use VIM.  you can find that package you can use yum -y install VIM. VIM will color code it for you.

Ahh. well syntax highlighting and "error insight" type features are quite different.

whether you use yum or sudo (or whether either are available) depends on the environment of the server itself.

Easiest test is www.speedtest.net

*Make sure no one else is using computers or internet devices during the test or it will alter your results, however if you run it during the time when others are using bandwidth it will give you an idea of how bottlenecked you really are.

My internet connection is 20.6mbps download and 12.7mbps upload with Comcast Broadband. A friend of mine has DSL and is getting 4mbps download and 768k upload. And a Satellite ISP of a customer I assist is getting 150k download and 60k upload which is better than the 33.6k dial-up as their only other option on the mountain side without investing into some expensive microwave bridging to a high speed source within view. She is ok on the 150k/60k connection but she has been spoiled by free wifi hotspots with much more bandwidth so the speed increase she noticed off the bat from dial-up to satellite she now knows is lagging badly compared to what high speed internet really is!


all the way to the 5th line is your ISP

Johns-MacBook-Pro:~ johntoniolo$ traceroute www.google.com

ip transit are the DNS servers they use, anyways a good trick to figure if the issue is with your ISP or your network is by doing 2 things.

1. go to speedtest.net and click on the green circle with the green triangle in it. Than let the test run, if it runs good than that means the issue is with your network.
2. If it runs slow direct connect a computer to your cable modem and than run the speed test again. if runs good that still points to your network if it runs slow contact your ISP.

Networking / Re: I cannot access through router

I am sorry to hear that doc. Can you try this. Open up command prompt. You can do this by clicking on start > run or search > than type in cmd > when the black screen open type in ipconfig /flushdns and than restart your computer. Let me know if that works and if not we will do next step

how would Nano show errors in the script? This sounds more like editing a live production environment by the seat of the pants.
