I had to create a 32-bit environment for some tests, and configured a Windows 8.1 Update 1 32-bit VM with 2 GB ram. It's a speed daemon. I've never seen 32- and 16-bit apps run this fast before. Of course it helps that it is powered by a Xeon CPU and runs on a SSD but still. By default, the Hyper-V Manager of Windows 8 Pro is for administrators only. This is fine for setup and configuration of the Virtual Machines and to check out these. However, if the machine is in an Active Directory, this is not very useful as normal users are not granted administrator rights, thus will be incapable of accessing the VMs. To solve this, the users' group - Domain Users - has to be granted rights to connect to the VMs. Luckily, this is a simple task. First go to the host: 1. As Administrator, open Computer Administration and go to Local Users and Groups 2. Locate the group: Hyper-V Administrators 3. Add to the list of members the group: Domain Users 4. Close the group and Computer Administration Then - as Administrator - start and go to the Virtual Machine 1. As Administrator, open Computer Administration and go to Local Users and Groups 2. Locate the group: Users of Remote Desktop 3. Add to the list of members the group: Domain Users 4. Close the group and Computer Administration Now a normal user can open the Hyper-V Manager, connect to a Virtual Machine, and log on to this. This is usable but for frequent use you will prefer to provide the user a shortcut to connect to the VM. To do so, somewhere - like on the Desktop - right-click and select to create a new shortcut. The New Shortcut wizard opens and asks you to type the location of the item. Write: vmconnect.exe localhost nameofyourvmachine where "nameofyourvmachine" is the name from the Hyper-V Manager of the Hyper-V machine to open. Click Next. The wizard asks you to name the shortcut. This will be the text label under the icon. Write for example: Hyper-V Windows 8 32-bit Click Finish to create the shortcut. Double-click it to confirm that the VM opens and you are connected. If you prefer a tile on the Start screen for the user to select, copy the shortcut to this folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs The shortcut will now appear as a tile on the "show all" pane of the Start screen. To copy it to the main pane, right-click on the tile and select: Pin to Start. Before using this option, make sure the label of the tile is quite short or it will be cut off when applied to the tile. /gustav From gustav at cactus.dk Wed Jun 4 02:36:25 2014 From: gustav at cactus.dk (Gustav Brock) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 07:36:25 +0000 Subject: [dba-Tech] Shortcut for non-admin users to connect to Hyper-V machine in Windows 8 Pro In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi all If not, what about this link: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/Windows_8/A_13515-Shortcut-for-non-admin-users-to-connect-to-Hyper-V-machine-in-Windows-8-Pro.html /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] P? vegne af Gustav Brock Sendt: 4. juni 2014 09:34 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] Shortcut for non-admin users to connect to Hyper-V machine in Windows 8 Pro Hi all I published this tip at Experts-Exchange with embedded pictures and wonder if it is viewable for those of you who are not signed up at that place: http://rdsrc.us/NQsvTy /gustav From mwp.reid at qub.ac.uk Wed Jun 4 02:37:33 2014 From: mwp.reid at qub.ac.uk (Martin Reid) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 08:37:33 +0100 Subject: [dba-Tech] Shortcut for non-admin users to connect to Hyper-V machine in Windows 8 Pro In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <631CF83223105545BF43EFB52CB08295A137A588FE@EX2K7-VIRT-2.ads.qub.ac.uk> Opens fine Gustav Martin -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 04 June 2014 08:34 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Shortcut for non-admin users to connect to Hyper-V machine in Windows 8 Pro Hi all I published this tip at Experts-Exchange with embedded pictures and wonder if it is viewable for those of you who are not signed up at that place: http://rdsrc.us/NQsvTy /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] P? vegne af Gustav Brock Sendt: 21. april 2014 00:01 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: [dba-Tech] Shortcut for non-admin users to connect to Hyper-V machine in Windows 8 Pro Hi all Hyper-V is very powerful.

It is designed to keep the servers current and all the kernel and core application up to date. For a long time Linux servers have just tended to sit in the back ground and just run...as long as they ran without problem or security breaches they would be left on their own. The problem has because these servers just work and so many have sat basically un-updated for years and years. It ends up in many cases with systems that no one will attempt to upgrade. Enter a product called CoreOS: https://coreos.com Google has already adopted the tool to work with it Cloud computing engine: http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.ca/2014/05/official-coreos-images-are-now-available-on-google-compute-engine.html In the end this product is designed to take all the complexity and effort out of maintaining a large (or small) Linux server cluster or network while keeping everything current.

That said, if I was in the development business, I would be very tentative with the prospects of honing Swift skill sets. To the best of my understanding, that language is totally OS dependent and I think the days when a developer bets his or her future on a single environment are over. C# runs or can be made to run virtually everywhere so why would any programmer invest in the Swift language other than as an intellectual exercise. So in summary, IMHO, Swift is a powerful language but maybe a little too late to the scene and maybe a little too limited in its scope.

It is also used by hiring agencies, developer departments and any Startup looking for top talent to hire. As for a "Source control system" that is just an added bonus.

If you read the documentation carefully though, there is a suggestion of prime user rates. I would suspect that heavy users would be charged and their contribution will go to financing more equipment. AFAICS, if this mail server Startup is successful, it will become less of a "Mum and Pop" type company. Many companies designing similar type packages have decided to use a Bit Torrent structure because it requires less space, for there are no capacity over-head issues, as the data is never really within the central servers, Performance is then only relative to how many people are using the service at any one time. There are many application built around Bit Torrent technology but I am not aware of a well used mail solution. The original Skype was built around a BitTorrent structure but within an area of limited users it performance would drop. That was because it segmented its network. When Microsoft took the controlling interest, Skype was then re-designed and centralized. Whether a VoIP system will function more reliably on a BT or centralized network is the question...one you might be able to answer.

It sounds a little arrogant to me and lack of due diligence...but OTOH there are very limited number of OSs or even versions of Windows that the current IE runs on.

Generally, the updates are first downloaded and when that is accomplished then the installation process starts. I have no idea of what could happened to that system but I recently re-installed an OS when a bad track appeared right in the boot track...no fix. When that problem happen to an XP box I would most likely do a soft re-install using the installation disk.

Version 1.0 just came out this week. If is Docker.io of course. Check out the following link describing Docker's LXC (Linux Containers) system: https://docs.docker.com/faq The following description: "So let's say you have a container image that is 1GB in size. If you wanted to use a Full VM, you would need to have 1GB times x number of VMs you want. With LXC and AuFS you can share the bulk of the 1GB and if you have 1000 containers you still might only have a little over 1GB of space for the containers OS, assuming they are all running the same OS image. A full virtualized system gets its own set of resources allocated to it, and does minimal sharing. You get more isolation, but it is much heavier (requires more resources). With LXC you get less isolation, but they are more lightweight and require less resources. So you could easily run 1000's on a host, and it doesn't even blink. Try doing that with Xen, and unless you have a really big host, I don't think it is possible. A full virtualized system usually takes minutes to start, LXC containers take seconds, and sometimes even less than a second."

It does seem like the way to go. As mentioned before OpenSuse, Debian and CentOS would make the best enterprise servers but their implementations tend to be older and supposedly more stable but they may also lack the latest features. Ubuntu is always leading edge and has a huge community following to help if any issues arrive. Keep us posted on your progress.

I have an older Dell laptop, don't know a magic keystroke, but Network Connections should get you there.

(Moved him from a single screen to four screen as he worked his way up the ladder) He has always worked for Nesbitt Burns, the wealth management section for BMO (Bank of Montreal) and he recommended a piece of software that he and a number of his clients use. It is Hideme at https://member.hide.me/en He uses this software for a number of clients who do not want their share-holding status to be sent out on insecure mail networks or information from foreign banks, trust accounts or off shore investments. Then there are many businesses who deal with foreign companies and do not want to be exposed to the whims of particular governments. In fact his entire department uses the above linked product for their various cllents. The software has a number of advantages. It can be turned off and on depending on what your activity is, it can use a number of different encryption methods depending on what PPTP client or VPN you are running, it officiates your browsing IP address and other credentials, runs on virtually any platform and there is a 'free' 2GB per month option which should work just fine for doing your monthly banking and such. It is easy to install as I did so within a few minutes on my desktop Ubuntu box.

Message-ID: <2B2F76E03AB04A06984C521719F49C45@HAL9007> A two-inch computer for $55 CuBox, the smallest computer ever, is made in Israel by an Arab-Israeli company aiming to power the Internet of Things. By Abigail Klein Leichman June 18, 2014 cube The 2x2x2-inch CuBox-i is the smallest computer in the world. It sells for just $55 and is made in Israel by SolidRun , a 10-person company cofounded by two Arab-Israeli electrical engineers with a background in the high-tech industry. CuBox-i is the newest model from SolidRun, which launched its first CuBox low-power, miniature micro-PC and media center at the end of 2011, just a year after going into business. The tiny, yet powerful computer is not designed for tasks like word processing or photo manipulation. It's mainly meant for the Internet of Things (IoT), among other uses. Weighing only about three ounces (91 grams) with a built-in operating system and WiFi, CuBox can be your Android TV box, multimedia streamer, networked storage solution and pocket-size personal computer, running Lite Desktop and infinite open-source applications. If you need more juice, you can scale up to the CuBox-i2 ($80) or CuBox-i4 Pro ($140) without scaling up in size. "As of today, we are the smallest computer in the world," CEO Kossay Omary tells ISRAEL21c. "You do see computers getting smaller, but no competitor has achieved this extreme size and efficiency. It's good news that the market is moving in this direction, though, because it validates that we chose the correct path." Cofounder and CTO Rabeeh Khoury adds, "Given the open-source SDK [software development kit] and tons of available software packages, our computers can be used in a huge range of scenarios limited only by your imagination; ranging from embedded, multimedia, education, cloud client, HMI and many other fields, as well as all the fun projects you always dreamed of." Foresight is 20-20 Omary, 41, and Khoury, 38, met as students at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Omary was raised in Nazareth, while Khoury grew up in Tarshiha, just east of the northern coastal city of Nahariya. They did not start SolidRun until they had gained solid design and business management experience at the Israeli branches of top-flight computing and consumer electronics companies including Intel and Galileo Technology (acquired by Marvell in 2001). In late 2010, the men joined forces to bootstrap their startup, today based in the Tefen Industrial Park near Tarshiha. "We saw a world trend of computers becoming smaller and more powerful while using less power, and we also saw the trend toward digitizing," Omary says. "We understood that in a few years there will be a lot of connectivity and processing power everywhere, from digitized teaching to home automation. You need a computer to manage all this. You can't put a big, bulky, power-hungry PC everywhere, so we envisioned much smaller computing devices. You won't even notice them as they do all kinds of smart things for you." Now that IoT is the hottest buzzword, it is obvious that the duo's vision was perfectly on target. They introduced their product at the right time to catch this huge wave. "IoT is a growth vehicle, and so we're positioning the company for that," says Omary. Powering the IoT revolution Home automation, for instance, requires sensors in every room for temperature and lighting, and controllers to initiate actions such as locking doors, opening shades and warming the oven. "Everyone will have 10 connected devices sensing stuff and controlling stuff," says Omary. "We want to be a leader in providing the technology for this revolution." All the CuBox models, including the original version, are sold worldwide via SolidRun's Internet site and through distributors in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. The company is seeking its first VC funding as it looks to vastly expand its distribution network. The 10 SolidRun employees comprise five Arab Israelis and five Jewish Israelis. "As a high-tech company, we don't categorize ourselves in a sectorial way," stresses Omary. "It just so happens that Rabeeh and I are of Arab descent. But we do wish for others from Arab society to learn from our experience as entrepreneurs in the high-tech industry, and we always offer advice to anybody who wants to discuss their ambitions and plans."

The company had no idea what they were doing, especially when it came to running a business in the Cloud. They had no fail-over locations, no backups and no staff capable of providing security services or even knew what to do when they were attacked. Then to top it off, they had made guarantees to their clients as to the level of support and reliability... After such a Bork-up they had no choice but to fold up or they would have been sued into oblivion anyway. (Listened to a Podcast this morning on exactly that story.)

King's dream, I still think it's worth a moment's attention. First of all, to bring it to fruition, I need to learn something about how to write an add-in for FireFox and Google. Then I need to build it and release it for free to anyone who suffers the same problem as I. Here's the notion: groups of web pages, loaded automatically with a single click on the new "Groups" button. For example (and not that you need subscribe to my groups -- the whole point is that you create your own groups. But let's stick with mine, just as an example: Group 1: News nytimes.com torontostar.com theregister.co.uk Group 2: Coding accessD at databaseadvisors.com dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com alphasoftware.com Group 3: Literature nybooks.com wikipedia.com etc. The point is, I want to replace my bookmarks toolbar with these sets of pages, so that with one click I discard the current set and load a predefined set of pages all at once. And I don't think I'm the only person in the world to wish this were possible. What language do I achieve this in? Javascript? HTML 5? I don't know, so your advice would be helpful. -- Arthur From kathryn at bassett.net Sun Jun 29 11:22:32 2014 From: kathryn at bassett.net (Kathryn Bassett) Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2014 09:22:32 -0700 Subject: [dba-Tech] I have a dream In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I would *love* an app like that.

I have a folder in my bookmarks called "Daily" which contains a selection of websites I check out each morning - things like XKCD, Dilbert, The Register etc. I right click on it and select "Open In Tabs". All the bookmarks in the folder open in separate tabs. I use an addon called Tree Style Tab. When I finish with the group of pages, I can right click on the Folder in the tab list amd select "Close This Tree" On 29 Jun 2014 at 10:11, Arthur Fuller wrote: > I know, that's a cheesy subject title, but while less ambitious than > M.L.
