Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I really have no idea what the appropriate thread for this announcement is - could be here, could be Natter, could be B&A:
NBC is auctioning off post-production & office equipment from Passions this Saturday.
UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - April 21, 2008 - NBC Universal Television DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group in partnership with Premiere Props, is holding an industrial auction featuring millions of dollars worth of high-end post production equipment from Universal Media Studios' daytime drama "Passions."
A wide variety of post production equipment, printers, copiers, sewing machines, power tools, saws, electric production golf and utility carts, an electric forklift, architectural copier, drafting tables and much more from "Passions," will be made available to the public.
Own the Xerox machine Passions scripts were copied on! The disc duplicator tower that once dubbed Passions dailies!
Anyway, it made me laugh.
I'm kinda jealous of you AT&T iPhone people right now, but I still burn with anger at the crap customer service I got from them. So it's all good.
Gud, Blaise is still in the MSHOME workgroup. I guess since stuff works and all I'll leave it be, but it does rankle.
I'm stumped, I tried to replicate the problem on one of my computers but it kept switching workgroups just fine.
You might try Ubuntu Forums there are a lot of people there who know a lot more than I do about samba.
If you have a Mac in the workgroup working well, you might check out the Mac's smb.conf file. I'm pretty sure Macs must have one.
Hopefully I get my Mac back today so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all your help.
Okay, this is not quite the right thread for this, but I guess it fits here for some odd, sideways reason --
I just got some nice, new, tall bookcases for my home office. I really want to earthquake strap them to the wall. I have searched at the home depot web site and keep getting no returns on my searches (on various combinations of the words bookcase, earthquake, proof and strap).
I have this problem all the time on the home depot site, where their search engine is not particularly bright, and if you don't search on exactly the right key words, you won't find what you're looking for.
I'm sure Home Depot has what I'm looking for, but I can't find it on the site. Can anybody help?
Not sure if they're the same strength, but you can buy straps to attach bookcases to walls in the Baby Safety section of Target.
I find stuff at Home Depot by going to Home Depot, grabbing the first orange vest I find and saying "I need THIS. Take me to it."
That usually works.
2nds MM's method. Just as I learn where stuff is there, they move it on me. And their website is hit/miss.
Chances are you can get the Earthquake Straps at Ikea. They include them with every piece they sell.
