| 2010/8/23-9/7 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:53932 Activity:low | 9/21 are you guys really all using win7 in some way now?
\_ Yes. In my company, we have upgraded all our machines for
development, QA and other office use (HR, Finance, Receptions, etc.)
from WinXP to Win7 a few months ago. Our products now primarily
support Win7/Win2008 and secondarily support WinXP/Win2003.
\_ Any weird gotchas support-wise?

Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
for testing purposes? Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
disable the rest the copies?

| 2009/7/28-8/6 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:53216 Activity:nil | 7/28 Does it make sense to defragment disks on VMWare? My 80GB disk
on VMWare isn't really using 80GB, it just uses what it needs.
Will defragment do anything to it?
\_ If you want to speed up disk operation in your VM, it's best to
defragment the disks in your VM, then defragment the disk on your
host machine where the VM files are.

What does the "at sign" mean? This is on Mac OS. VMWare disk file.
\_ The file has metadata attributes
\_ How do I add/delete attributes to files? What about
-rw-r--r--+ <-- what is the "+" sign? Also how do you make
tar preserve these attributes?

| 2009/5/2-6 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:52936 Activity:nil | 5/2 why would my php application chew up 20-30 percent of my CPU when
run on a real machine, but will consitently take up 60-70 percent
of CPU when run in a vmware vm ?
\_ the real CPU has more capacity.
\_ Yes, did you allocate all of your CPU to the VM? Maybe you only
gave it one CPU or something like that.

a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman
\_ According to the Linux RAID wiki, you might be able to use mdadm
to do this with something like the following:

nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

Just kidding! (I hope)

uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
\_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
taught us. Everything is "stateless".

It has crashed 3 or 4 times on me in the last hour, and not on
