    Educational Enterprise Server Build

    Couple of things to note: With the tasks that you are looking at doing, none of them are going to push the RAID, even if it's in RAID 5 or 6. In RAID 10, once one drive fails, you then have a single point of failure. Even though rebuild times may be faster, if that drive fails, you are up a...

    Educational Enterprise Server Build

    I'll take a stab at it for you. I work for my local government in IT, and we recently went through a similar situation. We ended up buying a Lenovo Server and then the next year bought the same model as a backup/redundant server. Here's what we spent ~2 years ago, which I adopted to your specs...

    First Gaming Pc Build

    I think the $188 is for the Samsung SSD and 1 TB WD drive together. A 250GB Samsung Evo SSD is $84 on Amazon here, not sure how much it is in Australia. I would definitely choose 16GB over 8GB of RAM. I used to have 8, but after upgrading to 16, I would definitely do it again. Boot up times...

    In need of a new laptop

    I would spend more money on the processor and upgrade the RAM and HDD myself. Something like this would fit the bill: Open Box: ThinkPad Laptop Edge E440 (20C50052US) Intel Core i3 4000M (2.4 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4600 14.0" Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit - Newegg.com $50...

    Big Computing (ish)

    What about using something like Amazon Web Services? That way you can spin up a server only when you need it and not have it sitting there when you're not using it. $5k would pay for a lot of uptime on a server.

    Dates in JavaScript

    Just in case anyone was/is wondering, I was using JavaScript that is based for the web and not Adobe. Whoops! Anyway, here is the correct code that I used: var numDaysToAdd = 1 ; var fromDate = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", this.getField("Date.1").value) ; var toDate = fromDate ...

    Dates in JavaScript

    Nobody?? Here is what I have so far: var numDaysToAdd = 1; var inputDateString = getElementById("Date.1").value; var resultDate = stringToDate(inputDateString); resultDate.setDate( resultDate.getDate()+numDaysToAdd ); var result = dateToString( resultDate ); event.value = result; I can get it...

    Dates in JavaScript

    I'm working on a time sheet in Acrobat Pro, and I want to auto calculate date fields based on one field's input. What I would like to do is have our users input the first monday on the timesheet, and then the rest of the week and the next week auto calculate. I have tried several ways using...

    PC upgrade

    I've run Windows 7 on PCs that have 512MB of RAM and it runs alright. That being said, it's not ideal. I would build a new computer before putting any more $$ into your current machine.

    Dell Latitude D630

    Did you take all of the RAM out? It won't necessarily beep unless you take it all out.

    Real world SSD help

    The Mushkin is cheaper and faster than the Samsung or Kingston. Go with it.

    Application Serving

    That's not the case in this regard. But, as root pointed out, it would be a whole lot more work than what I had considered. I misread part of what you had posted; there would be a TON of servers that would have to be located on the server for it to work correctly. After re-reading everything, it...

    Application Serving

    You are correct, I was referring to XenServer, not XenApp. I don't have a whole lot of experience with VMWare, but I have had good experience with Hyper-V so far.
