Hi stash,
Can I just check my logic here? Assuming a mass storage driver is needed for the x64 install, If I use the server assistant then it will provide any necessary mass storage drivers at install time. Because the OS disk isn't recognised we're not getting that far. If you do a...
Hi,
Ran all of the diagnostics several times without issue. Everything is fine for 32bit 2k3. 64bit 2k3 causes problems when server assistant asks for the OS disk (I don't have the PC to hand right now and I'm just remembering it from about a week ago).
It basically complains and says to...
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies. I get as far as the server assistant starting the install. Then when it asks for the OS disk it repeadedly asks me to resinsert it - I guess it doesn't like/recognise it. If I don't use the server assistant then I get the behaviour mentioned above.
I...
Hi,
I've got a Dell PowerEdge SC430 with 2GB of RAM that I want to install an evaluation copy of server 2k3 x64 on. However, whenever I try I always get the same result.
At the end of the first part of text-mode setup, just before the drive partition/formatting options usually appear, the...
That's the crux.
If you're talking about teleporting an object (i.e. with mass) - as opposed to only dealing with massless information (i.e. atomic state, holograms, etc.), then ignoring the issue of duplication, the uncertainty principle seems to be an insurmountable block to accurate...
I agree, but I was under the impression that we'd have a good idea where the most likely launch sites/rogue nations would be, so we could make an educated guess as to where to put our resources?
As such, I don't ever see the all encompassing star wars type shield coming to fruition. At best...
Hi,
The lack of an acceptable optical "transistor" is going to hamper optical processing for a while yet. The big news about "Si lasers" (apart from the fact that they've managed to get Si CW lasing at all) is that:
a) This could theoretically be a good step forwards with regard to...
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I hadn't tried that as according to MS KB 314479 the %systemdrive% environment variable is autoamatically inserted before each path. As such, I thought this would cause problems.
I will give this a try though it may take a while to test out as I have to...
Hi All,
Here's a quickie for you - I want to deploy a Windows XP riprep image to several thousand clients using a 2003 RIS server. All the clients are PXE bootable (I actually have three different riprep images to encompass all HAL types we use). I use a sysprep.inf file in the c:\sysprep...
Very true. Not that I've checked, but I'd assume the substrate on which the information is etched is more absorbing of the frequency of the laser radiation used than that of the transparent protective polymer layer.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
The big problem in using photons (as opposed to electrons) is that of interaction. If you wish to send seperate channels of data with minimal interference large distances then photons are great. If you want to have two channels interact in order to produce a third channel (i.e. a...
If Harry had of really wanted to have gone to Oxbridge - he could have. He's been in love with the army forever. This isn't a meritocratic decision.

Hi,
For the reasons TuxDave gave - technically it's impossible right now - unless you have some new physics?
We need exact data for momentum and position of every atom that makes up your being at a specific instance in time. We can't do that because Heisenberg won't give us all the info...
Hi,
Sorry - I wasn't criticizing - I was just in a rush so I got the info down quick. By spectral bandwidth I mean the useable wavelength range over which there is ~0.2dm/km loss or less (which is practical for most comms apps). This is ~ a micron or so in modern fibre.
By bandwidth...
Hi,
It's used to *hopefully* reduce EMI problems. If you're not having EMI problems leave it disabled. Enabling it does (in a small way) I believe negatively affect performance.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
The spectral bandwidth is around a micron in OH- absorption free Si fibres. The bandwidth (in terms of data throughput) is up around a few terahertz.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
In terms of bandwidth - it's a few terahertz (so definitely not infinite) if all of the available confined spectrum can be utilitsed (assuming SiO fibres with OH- absorption peak fully removed). That is to say radiation that can be successfully confined within the core.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
To extend your arguement - to protect foolish people from themeslves you wish to remove our most effective means of self defense, thereby leaving us at the mercy of the criminal in a one-to-one situation.
Do you not think the idea of promoting effective education and training a better...
Hi,
Could you please expand/explain your first two sentences - I can't understand exactly what you're saying there.
The paranoid owner theory you put forward is more of a deterrent than a cure. If it came to a civil war you'd be glad you had them - but let's face it that's highly unlikely...
I see where you are coming from - but don't you think you should have the right to effectively defend yourself? You certainly have the right to defend youself against the government if real need be.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
The counter arguement to yours is that you can use the weapon to defend yourself against criminals with such weapons. If you ban the weapon the criminal will still have access and you will be defenseless. This is the main arguement you need to resolve if you wish to successfully propose...
It's even worse when you don't feel the burning! I've spent the last few years building and using femtosecond pulsed lasers (~800nm so the near IR just out of the visible) and a couple of times when I've been adjusting the alignment with my head quite low (but not in the beam!) I've scanned a...
I have lots of "oops" stories (quite a few involving lasers) - I'm sorry if my posts came accross a bit heavy, it's just I've been shown lots of videos of laser eye damage and I've had lots of safety courses as such and I wanted to make sure that you knew where I was coming from and that I...
Hi,
We used a wave machine (very wet) to demonstrate diffraction and a light bulb behind a slit to demonstrate refraction through a block of glass! This was about 1990. I guess they have semiconductor lasers now. I also would expect those lasers are bolted down and sealed in an enclosure...
In the UK laser pointers are limited to 3mW, in the US 5mW. The reason for the limitation is the perceived exposure time required (blink of an eye) to cause damage at a particular power/wavelength. I'm inclined to go with the lower number of 3mW - hence why I strongly suggest you never look...
The ACLU advocates a secular nation - religious freedom. The Taliban advocates nation run to the rules of a single religion - be muslim or be persecuted. Your comparison of dominance is wholeheartedly and completely wrong. I find it kind of insulting actually and I'm not a US citizen - though...
Hi,
Was that in reply to Rip or to me? Because if it was directed at me I don't understand where you're coming from in relation to my post.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
Well then I'd like to see the rebels rounding those responsible and involved up and handing them over to the authorities in Russia.
I don't see that happening - which would kind of put Chechen rebels in the same boat if this occurs.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
The mix of these tragic facts and the accompanying gloating remarks are a sad one. You may feel that this story supports your viewpoint with regard to the war, but IMHO the way you presented it is highly inappropriate and smacks of the lack of compassion you accuse others of. I say all...
Hi,
Burn it and bury it. Seriously, it can't be done in a physically non-destructive way very quickly. Also, there is no 100% way. If you throw enough time and money at it you wil almost always be able to get the data back.
Stick with the slower overwriting method, it's the most...
Hi,
Not that this applies so much now the "truth" is out - but you read my post wrong. Boycott the friends and supporters of NK (ie no chinese trade). Please give it another read to understand.
Cheers,
Andy
Hi,
It seems that the pro-gun lobby's arguement is driven by "we need what they have". I can understand that - if people may break into your house with a big gun, you'll want a big gun too (to put it simply).
However, where does it end? is there not either a big failure of (criminal) gun...
Hi,
I agree. To take LMK's point of view - I beleive losing 10 friendlies for every enemy in a cave fighting scenario may *actually* be preferable in the short term, as compared to the potential proliferation and possible escalating use of "tactical" nukes. I don't want people to die, but...
