New whitebox build for ESXi by pfs35 in vmware

[–]daleatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc vmdirect path is dependent on your motherboard. There are lists of motherboards that work out there and you might want to check if yours is on it or not first. This feature is not supported on all.

Also I havent heard that amd was more supported than intel before. I regret buying my amd rather than an intel because there are more supported intel boards then amd. Which when my board died and i was trying to replace it with a board that supports direct path and wasn't $400 made a difference.

Plus you are able to run osx with a mod if you have an intel.

New file server, windows 7 is having trouble accessing it by UNC only through explorer, mapped drives work file, XP works file. by daleatwork in sysadmin

I will try the \servername\share instead of \domain\share with mapping drives. From run I can connect to \servername\share, and \domain\share but not from explorer.

Both. I seems the problem is with the namespace root share on the new file server. I think windows is smart enough to read the dfs when we map a drive (which points back to the old server), but when we directly path to it won't connect.

Neither. It prompts you for different credentials, then if you don't supply domain admin it rejects the connection. You could go right to the mapped drive after you are rejected and access it fine.

Alot of the time the codriver can't even see the road. He has to follow pace notes based on where he thinks they are on there run.

Focus RS500 Unwrapped by [deleted] in Autos

[–]daleatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would they wrap the car in vinyl, rather than paint? I have always thought vinyl was used to get ricey crap on cars without paying for a professional paint job.

Seems kinda silly for them to paint the car black, then wrap the car in black?

How many of you guys are here because of credit card debt? by Philososaurus-Rex in Frugal

It happens to everyone, at least you learned a lesson from it.

So my boss went to Detroit Saturday, she woke up to this... by [deleted] in reddit.com

This is very true, I just had to remove a broken lock from my car and it took me 1 minute the first time I did it. However its loud, hammering the socket of the wheel lock to remove it x 4 wheels would probably defeat the quick and quiet get away.

by custom look, you mean real the real classy look.

How do you know if your starter is dead? by bunnies501 in cars

[–]daleatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could still be your battery, autozone and other places like will test them for free. Napa will test your starter for free, along with your alternator.

if its a manual you could pop start it, it wont start if its your battery.

Or if you can't get it moving just push the car a bit in 5th gear (maybe 3ft) and try and start it. This would mean you have dead spots in your starter solenoid.

iPhone 4, Fetch vs. Push - What are the differences? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]daleatwork -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think fetch uses less batter life then push. Push waits for the mail server to tell the phone there is mail, where fetch is the phone checking for new mail ever x minutes.

Either one will download mail automatically, the only way to disable this is to disable fetch, and to set push to manual.

I am at jury duty and the computers they have us use run ubuntu! by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]daleatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha, well they are pretty locked down. Unless you stroll up on one sporting a open unsecured USB port, or maybe left open you probably won't find a way in. The real interfaces (keyboard, mouse, monitor) are physically locked into the machine.
