Personally, I am sick and tired of the United States government meddling more and more in our lives. The movie and music industry is using our elected officials like puppets (muppets) and we are sitting idly by and letting it happen. Well, I signed the petition, and my voice will be heard next election. G.R.I.P. – Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. If we really want to make changes, we have to get those that pander to big business out of office and let them know that we have the power to do it. After all, they are there to represent Read More…
QNAP is no stranger to the storage world and with the introduction of their latest 8 bay NAS, QNAP is also hoping to be no stranger to your server room. The TS-879U-RP, much like other QNAP offerings, serves as both an IP-SAN (iSCSI) and a NAS. QNAP had already impressed us with their home or SOHO NAS, the TS-419P+. Let's see if they can keep the magic going with their SMB NAS, the TS-879U-RP.
If you are running out of space on your home computer, or you want to easily store files on a networked device that makes sharing them easy, a NAS may be the right option for you. The thing about NAS though is that they are not as simple as they once were. The choices are many and configuring some of these can make it somewhat of a daunting idea. This is where the line needs to be drawn between simple network attached storage and a feature rich solution that offers probably more than most people need. Drobo claims that their FS model is the best storage experience ever for simple file sharing and network backup for home and home office users.
The days of using thumb drives and floppy disks to store your valuable data are gone. Today the options are many and for those of us looking for an easy to use storage solution, QNAP thinks they have the answer. The idea of a home server is nothing new and Microsoft has been trying to attack this market with their Windows Home Server operating system. What users may not know about is that companies that have been producing NAS systems for business recognized your needs and are starting to release products that fit very well in the home office or small office. These systems are small, use very little power, pack a ton of features, and are easy to use.
In my career, yes there is a life outside of C.O.D., I am faced with many obstacles; usually regarding printing or scanning. Recently, it was requested by a customer that printer output be preceded by a separator page. Luckily, this is not restricted by devices (in most cases) and is rather easy to setup. This is very helpful in environments that have more than one user printing to a device. With a separator page, a user can differentiate their print from another person's print.
I have had an annoying problem that I just realized I had. Sometimes, when I am quick clicking through websites or testing on this one, I tend to hit some buttons rather quickly. Sometimes, they close my windows and other times have no effect. Well, one time, I accidentally zoomed in on this site with Firefox and never realized that I did so. Read More...
I have been hearing rumblings lately that Microsoft's Security Essentials is now available through Windows Update. The availability of an antivirus application through this type of service means that users will no longer have to scour the web for a link to install it. So what gives? Read More...
In my efforts to get my company's demo rooms up and running with the solutions we offer to our customers, I have been faced with numerous Windows errors and issues. The one I have been faced with today was an error message stating "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." However, I am the administrator and I haven't set any policies on this machine yet! Read More...
I don't understand why things just can't seem to work seamlessly. Especially when you are talking about Microsoft Products. You would think that one Microsoft product would work without issue with another, and you would think that you are pretty much guaranteed that this would be the case when the Microsoft Product in question is installed through Windows Update. Enough of the babbling and on to the point... When installing updates for Windows Server 2003, I was pimp slapped with another error "The Requested Lookup Key Was Not Found In Any Active Activation Context". Read More...
It was a dark and stormy night, May 5th; it was intense, my dog was hiding in the bathtub, the wind was blowing like a child with a new kazoo, the rain was coming down in sheets (11 x 17), and my PC was left to fend for itself. Suddenly, the ground shook and my home felt epileptic. The phone rings, the same quake is hitting China, the U.K, Japan, Canada... this is a worldwide earthquake? This wasn't a typical earthquake, this was a digital earthquake; at least that's how Matousec.com describes it. They named it KHOBE! Read More...
