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

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

ahhh, I see....

Never mind.

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.

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?

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?

Am posting this via Virgin wireless 3G modem thingie.

ION, I went to the Apple store today and asked what connectors I needed in order to play highdef iTunes video on my MacBook Pro while using my highdef TV as a monitor. See, VGA won't work, as Apple's DRM requires a digital connection to an authorized display device.

Anyway, I explained this to an Apple Store person, who had me talk to a second person, who had me talk to a third person, who finally had me talk to a guy who knew about this. It amused me that the guy who finally helped me with my highdef video issue was blind. Then he did my credit card transaction on his iPhone - he had some wireless headset that was apparently giving him audio feedback on what he was doing. I don't know what special software that iPhone had to enable him to use it to do credit card transactions, but it was cool to watch - his finger movements on the iPhone seemed to have no correlation to what the display was showing (which makes sense when you think about it) - he appeared to be just moving his finger from side to side on an open area of the screen.

eta: What Apple is doing with their DRM thing here is an example of "plugging the analog hole." Another example is it will soon be illegal to sell a new TV that has analog inputs that can be used for high-def. See, the manufacturers thinks that by keeping everything digital all the way to the final display device (and by requiring new display devices to be able to authenticate themselves) they will reduce or eliminate potential ways of illegally duplicating highdef content.
