Hey John, I've installed Virtual Box today and have had nothing but trouble with it. It won't complete an install of XP or Vista. It runs into issues reading files from the CD. I've tried on two laptops with the same results. The forums have been a little help, but at this point I'm stuck and trying Virtual PC. Any thoughts? It's good to be alive

I went with the Dell Latitude E6500 based on price. When I ran both systems thru the purchasing wizards, the Lenovo came out $300 more. I ended up buying a refurbished unit with: Intel Core 2 Duo P9550 (2.66 ghz) 250gb 7200rpm drive 4gb DDR2 RAM Intel Wifi 5300 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M thanks for all the responses.

Just to give you some number, a senior .NET developer in Brazil usually receives R$50/h, aproximatelly U$25. What Daniel said about labor laws and taxes is really true. I have a friend in L.A. who tried to move his dev team to Brazil and he got crazy with this kind of issues. He gave up. Hard truth. GuimaSun www.nexsun.com.br NEXSUN TechZone

Very cool. Any idea why the 32 bit version showed such a large variance between slowest and fastest results? "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

I don't think you'll get anything below $40, there is a lot to a GPS receiver. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

I've inherited an Access App that is huge; it has over 200 tables and twice as many queries and forms. It was created in a Unix enviroment version 97 and now is in a 2003 version on XP Pro over a MS Network. I want to hire an outside group to come in and create something new. But the group hangs on to it like a ball and chain. If I have to repair it one more time, I'm going to quit! Bob Fischer

Yes, there is a prepaid prints option. Let me see if I can do this clickety thing correctly. http://www.cmphotocenter.com/about/po_pricing.php[^] When you prepay for 500 photos at a time, it will maintain your balance until you get to your 500 pictures. You do have to pay the shipping for each order. We literally order 100's of pictures at a time, but you could order 27 prints or 50 or whatever per order and it will keep your account balance. The shipping is always separate/additional and based on the size of the order. The ID if you are interested in the free 20 prints instead of 10 is 92435541.

Guess I'll answer my own post :) To ways to solve this problem: 1.) Put the assembly in the GAC 2.) Put the class that works directly with Excel in it's own Class Library project. It doesn't need to inherit from ServicedComponent, only the rest of the Data Acess Layer needed COM+. It's good to be alive

Nope. It was a redir that was put in that redirs all URL requests through a tracking site's proxies ... I do not recall the name (since I am not by/near the machine, I cannot tell you exactly what it was/is called). I'll check, if I can remember, when I get home tonight to see what it was and post a new thread discussing it ... :..::. Douglas H. Troy ::.. Fold with us|Development Blogging|viksoe.dk's site

Hi there, There are two options which you may try: + Put the BasePage in a seperate assembly, and you simply add reference to it in your web project. + If the BasePage is placed in the same web project, you can try to add the DesignerAttribute to the BasePage class.

Colin Angus Mackay wrote: That doesn't sound right to me. It should be "machine\user" or "domain\user" (the former is prefered because then the account is local only to the machine). The user's credentials passed from the browser make it to the web server, but can't get passed to the database server, there is a one hop limit when passing credentials. So when connecting, then, from the web server to the database server, the credentials from the aspnet process are used instead. Because 'machine' is specified in the machine.config processModel element, domain\machine$ is sent to the database server. If identity impersonate="true" is placed in the web.config file, aspnet pretends it is running as the user. But authentication on the db server fails because 'null' is passed instead of the user's. 'null is passed because of the one hop limit. If the web server and db server are the same server, then the one hop limit is satisfied and you can use identity impersonate="true" successfully. This however goes against MS recommendations when architecting a web app.
