A Broadband Prayer

darkskye — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 22:00:57 +0000

Our Father who art in Wholesale,
Hallowed be thy services.
Thy broadband come.
Thy expedite be done on earth as it is in the exchange.
Give us this day our daily broadband,
and forgive us our leeching,
as we forgive those who leech against us,
and lead us not into LLU,
but deliver us from dialup.
Amen.

Dear Holywood

Please stop remaking good, classic films. If you can’t think of original material, why not look in to the other works by the late, and great Douglas Adams. I think the Dirk Gently series would transform well to the silver screen.

Love,
Disappointed and Disillusioned.

I’m bored and I’ve got access to wikipedia …

So, I went back over the past 30 years and collected …

Odyssey – “Use It Up and Wear It Out”
The Specials – “Ghost Town”
Irene Cara – “Fame”
Paul Young – “Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home)”
Frankie Goes to Hollywood – “Two Tribes”
Eurythmics – “There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)”
Madonna – “Papa Don’t Preach”
Madonna – “Who’s That Girl”
Glenn Medeiros – “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You”

Phew, that’s the lot.
I think its safe to say any mix tape made should stop around the advent of the spice girls, that’s when music appeared to go south.

Joining Windows 7 to a Samba PDC

darkskye — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:21:49 +0000

This has been bugging me since I upgraded from Vista to Win7 and thanks to folks at the Samba-general list, here is the solution!

Add the following registry keys:
HKLM/System/CCS/Services/Lanman/Workstation/Parameters
DWORD DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
DWORD DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0

If you are using Samba 3.3.4 or older you need to change the following keys
HKLM/System/CCS/Services/Netlogon/Parameters
DWORD RequireSignOnSeal = 0
DWORD RequireStrongKey = 0

Versions of Samba after 3.3.4 are reported to be happy with the default values for the above two keys, I can confirm the last two changes are not required (and will cause the join to fail) for Samba 3.3.9

It may also be required to remove the NTUSER.DAT file from the Roaming Profile if you get the error “Group Policy Client Service Failed the logon – Access Denied”, this will however cause all the user specific settings in the registry to be lost.
