There's a WS500 group on Yahoo! - go to groups.yahoo.com, search for "sony ws500". Use/create your yahoo! ID to join - they've got a "tweaks" file that shows how to set the convergence, and they have an owner's manual, in 2 or 3 parts, available for free download. I'd post up the tweaks file here but it doesn't work well in text mode.

last night from Phoenix. Lites from 5-6, then Supercross from 6-7. Channel 969 on Insight - Speed HD I predict Roger DeCoster will win it all.

Should be somewhere in the setup that you can adjust the convergence. Owner's manual? Got a model #?

over.

So, I'm not an electrical enginerd, I don't know what language Jarvis is speaking when he talks of "angle refraction aggregations" - even if I Googled I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't get it. The article says they "need to form a consortium...of companies" and it will be over the "...next five years..." that the savings would appear. But in the preceeding sentence it says that all that needs to be done are "...a few simple code changes." So if it's so simple, why not just implement the "simple code changes", realize the savings, and go on to solve some other problem? Either I'm missing something (likely), the article is ambiguous, or it's just poorly written. I think Matt has given the best answer so far... EDIT: I was right. I Googled "angle refraction aggregations" and I'm no closer to understanding it than before....

+1 on Perl/Rexx. Since you mentioned you've got Linux boxes (and answered the hostname question correctly!) look into Python on the *nix side. If you're going to have to do more Windows stuff in the future, Windows Scripting (WSH) is the ticket. If you've done VB, you're 3/4's of the way there.

Humor not lost on me. Pointing out (and agreeing) that whatever you need to do on Windows you can do on the penguin. Except Photoshop. I know that all you Linux-phobes/haters.

By "access", do you mean you don't have a domain admin or equivalent account? You don't need to have physical access to the server - if that's what you meant. If you want to get to console of the remote machine you can use RDP to do it by typing "mstsc /v:computer", where computer = the name of the machine whose console you want to get to. You'll need to know a user/pass from that local machine that has admin rights. IF RDP isn't enabled on that machine BUT you know an admin user/pass, you can connect to the target's registry and enable remote access. Start regedit on your machine, click File, Connect Network Registry, put the target's name in. The key you'll be looking for is: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server Change fDenyTSConnections from 1 to 0

Pretty simple to get to Windoze shares from the penguin. Netware shares, too. Quiz: how would you go about changing the Linux machine's name?

That's why you use netDOM - it's specifically for machines that are joined to a domain. You need to use an account (the "userd") that has rights to the machine's computer object in the domain - it will be changing it in AD as well as on the local machine. As Cheech said, test first, then deploy.

If OSHA were to see this I would imagine they would not be happy. Yes, OSHA is <usually> full of it, but rulez is rulez. But it is cool/borderline crazy!

detail added.

Jamiroquai - Too Young To Die Listening to the Album "The Singles", on this one right now.

Wasn't me!

Mine too, bastard racist overlords....

Thinking today is Friday, looking at the date on my desk phone, adding 7 to it = 21. Correct date is Friday the 22nd.

After the last Central-area lunch in Grandview, some folks wanted something on the North end, so if anyone's interested...

Buy it here. $39.99 + $2.50 shipping = $42.49 to your door. Too much $ for not enough fun for me. Never used the vendor before, so don't blame me if your monies get stolen. ThinkGeek used to carry it, but not anymore.

Some of us are on call 24/7/365. Just ride! If there's a problem, it'll still be there when you get back! Besides, there has to be some sort of SLA, right? They can't expect you to sit around all week and weekend just waiting for something to break. If they do, and you let them, well.... SWing'R: "Hmmm, 2 hours ago? The pager just now buzzed. Must be sunspots. Anywho, I'm on it, it'll be fixed in a jiffy." See? Easy. Almost as easy as my sister.... Windows server issue: TSMobiles through Blackberry phone via BES server = solved. Linux server issue: Ummm, never had one, no need for mobile fix-ability....

yut ughhh! :lol:

Hell, I might ride to work Friday - allegedly it'll be 40 and partly cloudy. Saturday, assuming no rain - I'm game. Sunday = chance of rain. Rain + temp in the 30's = no thanks.

Douglas Engelbart (inventor of the mouse) didn't work for Apple - Apple didn't even exist in 1964. And Apple didn't make the Xerox 8010 Star Information system (first system that shipped with a mouse). Apple did, however, ship the Mac in 1984, which popularized the mouse. Just sayin....

The Dead Collector: Bring out yer dead. [a man puts a body on the cart] Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one. The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead. The Dead Collector: What? Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead. The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead. Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not. The Dead Collector: He isn't. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better. Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart. Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby. The Dead Collector: I can't take him. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine. Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor. The Dead Collector: I can't. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round? The Dead Collector: Thursday. The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk. Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy. [the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club] Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much. The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday. Large Man with Dead Body: Right.
