You forgot the one where Trim breaks Security updates ;)

Yes, it's SATA. In particular it's 5400 rpm Seagate Momentus 5400 drive.

Re: Benefits of Six Sigma

twitter-70686527 — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:17:52 -0000

I agree with some of the bs. Six Sigma can be a great change tool (cost reduction) if properly implemented and understood. There are two interesting articles that go into the caveats of Six Sigma.

1. Six Sigma Brown Belt and Other Self Declared Six Sigma Belt Colors
2. When Executives use Six Sigma to Eliminate Jobs Ruthlessly

Before applying any Six Sigma initiative please read about "Introduction to Measurement Systems Analysis" at http://sixsigmaz.com

This is a great start. You can get more Six Sigma Definitions and Glossary at http://sixsigmaz.com.

Customer Requirements can be further defined with tools like Kano Survey - which separate the wants and needs, the "must-bes" and "delighters".

Re: How many PCs can you image with SMS 2003 in a night?

DaleWiseFaq — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:44:16 -0000

Well yes, that is true. But if you're doing bare-metal installs, your advice does not apply.

Which is what I was getting at, in a round-about way.

Advanced Clients have the option of either running a package from the Distribution Point as SMS clients have always done, or downloading the entire package into cache and executing it locally. Administrators can also designate what percentage of bandwidth should be used for SMS client processes. Free SMS!

Re: I’m not the only one annoyed with HP’s UPD print driver.

wapicho — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:21:11 -0000

Use of HP UPD is in my experience counter productive.

If you need to print to HP use the CLJ 9500MFP PS driver (or PCL6 or PCL5c if you must).
This driver works on HP LaserJets.
This driver is cluster compliant comes in 64bit and 32bit flavours and works with Novell/Iprint Citrix - the lot.

Some care needs to be taken with configuration to ensure best performance.
- Within advanced disabled "advanced features"
- Ensure font substitution is set to "down load soft font"
- Set print processor to "winprint" & "raw"
- Stop PDF pass thru
- Stop PDF error handler

Although this driver only supports 4 trays max it will work with any number of trays, just use paper type when sending job.

If this does not work for you, or you want to print faster use Adobe's Universal Print Driver - it's easy to modify the PPD to add duplex and colour - it took me about 30 mins to sort and test.

I know a friend, who knows someone, who is brother to a mate, who is the second cousin, to a girl who use to room share at university, who knows someone, that knows someone who played in the same team, who might, just might be able to get you a ride at the front of a suburban train. Not nearly as uncomfortable as riding up the front of an A class, but it's something at least.

Sorry to learn of your loss. While all dogs work their way into our hearts, Vizslas seem to be extraordinarily good at it. They are awesome, great dogs (I too am owned by a V) and I hope you are able to handle your loss of your Vadar well, and perhaps rescue a V who needs a home.

You would need to change the ease at which people get a licence first. It's basically as long as you have the money you get a licence these days. There needs to be a massive increase in the quality of training.

Then if you click through the links, there is "Five More In A Row", their follow up single.

Lot of memories for me in the clip, the DJ scenes were filmed at Triple M, back in the days of the studio at Bourke Street, where I use to work.

Re: Being short $10 dollars

Andy B — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 04:31:11 -0000

Many years ago I was in some store somewhere and I was given too much change. Trying to do the right thing, I took it back to the register and said "I think I got the wrong change". The bitch looked at me smugly and said "Well, you should have checked it BEFORE you left the store, too late now!". So I pointed out that I'd been given $20 too much, and was trying to return it, but after that she could go get fucked. Andy = win.

These days I don't give a fuck. Give me too much change, I walk. Give me too little change, I complain bitterly.

The X1 is available via Telstra as well. They have a demo one at their Bourke Street Melbourne store.

Would love to do laptops. Getting someone to lend me four current model laptops is going to be difficult through :-(
