All is well that ends in pizza.

Sure you can do a recursive search in dos.

Dir filename.ext /s

Filename.ext can be replaced with wild cards of ? and * etc. and in Windows dos command prompts, it can even go without the .ext

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, but I need to search the contents of the files.

Anyone have experience with locking/blocking in SQL Server?

We're getting this error a lot:

The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application WebTimesheet: Thread ID: 7980 ,Logged: WebTimesheet::Utility::SaveNew(10) - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server - Transaction (Process ID 65) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm trying to connect from OS X (Leopard) to a Windows share. There's a username and no password, but when I try and enter those credentials, it just tries to connect (or stay connected) as guest. How can I disconnect as guest?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Are you trying the Command-K or (Go>Connect to server) method?

try smb://username@servername/sharename

I was mounting it through Finder. I'll try that when I get home, thanks

That didn't work either. I caved and set a password for that user. Security, security.

Now I have an Android OS question. On my Nokia/Symbian phones, they have a ringtone profile mechanism where you can set up a profile for, say, work that has professional-sounding ringtones and message alerts, one for pager that just vibrates, one for movies that's silent, and a default one that's as cracky as you want to roll.

Does Android allow you to do that, or do you have to set each ringtone and volume and vibrate setting manually?
