    WHERE LIKE a subquery

    This returns 1 record from my table t1 as expected: SELECT DISTINCT myfield FROM t1 WHERE item = 'myitem' LIMIT 1 ; For the sake of discussion, let's say that the 1 "myfield" value returned was 123456. So then using that information, this will return multiple records like 123456, 123456A...

    Waledac botnet being taken down

    This is very good news; not only for this particular botnet, but to prove that it can be done when all the principals work together. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/022510-microsoft-recruited-top-notch-guns.html?page=1

    New Zero-Day exploit

    Internet Explorer is subject to a new exploit that has not yet been patched. It is worth noting that Vista running IE in Protected Mode and Server 2003 in Enhanced Security Mode (both of which are default behavior) limit the impact of this vulnerablilty...

    Mojave Experiment

    In case you haven't heard, Microsoft has begun a campain to counter much of the percieved negative aspects of Windows Vista. One of my favorites is the Mojave Experiment. The 'earth was flat' thing is kind of funny too.

    IE7 & IE8 can not be uninstalled after XP SP3

    If you want the ability to revert (especially if you're using IE8 beta 1), do so before installing XP SP3 http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/05/05/ie-and-xpsp3.aspx

    Batch delete spoolfiles?

    Without Vesoft's MPEX software to allow wildcards, is there any easy way to delete spoolfiles en mass?

    UAC, network share, and All Users starup folder

    Usually, I can find a way around these sort of things, but I can't come up with this one. It's related to UAC. It seems that with UAC enabled (as all my users are), one can not copy directly from a network share to the all users startup folder. Using Windows Explorer to drag & drop or a batch...

    Resource usage

    As I've mentioned in previous threads, I know next to nothing about this HP3000 that we have. For some reason, it seems to be suddenly choking itself on something, eventually gettting to the point of not allowing login even from the console. After a restart, we can log in again, but it's quite...

    Limit some users to local only

    Is there a way to limit a group/subset of uses in such a way that they would only be able to send to other local users; not to the outside world?

    Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) available for download

    The old WinHlp32.exe program which provides the help files for many older programs was not included with Vista. It has now been updated & is available for dowload.

    Spy the Spy

    This is a very interesting piece of software that I ran across today and will be adding to my travelling toolkit. http://www.mediachance.com/free/spythespy.htm I haven't tested it, so I have no idea what kind of load it adds to the system or how other AV & ASW products will react to it. I ran...

    Restoring from tape recreates users

    When restoring from a tape dump, some purged users are automatically recreated. I assume there must be files being restored that are attributed to these users. How would I go about finding what's recreating the users?

    QuickVPN client doesn't work with Vista

    At least version 1.0.39 doesn't. In fact, it seems to have done a partial install & doesn't want to be removed nicely. After chatting with Linksys support, it seems to be a known problem. And according to the tech I was chatting with, there is no known timeframe for a version of QuickVPN that...

    Performance / Load / Security Question

    Consider the scenario of a front-end & a back-end linux servers. The back-end server contains static content (plain old files) that need to be presented to the internet. Does anyone know which will give better performance and/or be a lighter load on the front end server? And, is one case...
