Windows 8 leak

Confidential powerpoint slides have been leaked onto the internet. The slides seem to show that M$ is continuing to eyeball Apple and Linux in more ways then one. We are unable to post the material on our website due to copyright laws. But we found a interesting breakdown at MSFT Kitchen .

Researchers say that the end of the keyboard and mouse may be near. I don’t believe this is a good idea and hope this is just a rumor. I cant see me using a touchscreen to code up a program or troubleshoot a network issue.

Another thing i am seeing is a increase in laptop sells. With the reduce cost on laptops these days more people are dumping desktops for a laptop in the home. While laptops can provide a convenience during American Idol or Big Brother. Nothing beats a desktop with a movable mouse and larger keyboard. How can you be productive if you always have to touch the screen to type up your resume or contract. The consumers need to stop buying these units so we can keep the production of keyboards and mouse up.

Exchange: save my exchange password

!)when using RPC/HTTPS connection in Outlook, you will need to follow the instructions below to store your password so Outlook will not prompt you for credentials. You must be running on Windows XP or Vista (any edition except Windows Home).

2) In Outlook 2003, go to: Tools > Email Accounts > Click Next to View or change existing email accounts > Highlight Microsoft Exchange Server and click Change.
In Outlook 2007, go to Tools > Account Settings > doubleclick Microsoft Exchange.
Click More Settings > Connections tab > Exchange Proxy Settings.
Select NLTM Authentication as the Proxy Authentication Setting

====================
In Windows, click the Start Menu > Run > Type in “control keymgr.dll’”
You’ll see Credential Manager window with an entry with the Exchange Server name.
Change Windows credentials:

If you are missing the Add button you may want to modify Windows Registry to save the password. Note, that for editing Windows Registry administrator rights are required, because it is not safe and you will perform it on your own risk.

In Windows, click the Start Menu > Run > Type in “regedit”
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
Find DisableDomainCreds entry. Value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials.
Change the value to 0 and reboot. You should have the Add button. Note, that the value of 0 is the default value.
Also check LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is a default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not work with 3 then also try it with 2.
Reboot the computer to apply changes.

PHP upload: Files are assigned to nobody

PHP uploaded files will generally get uploaded with the user nobody when using mod_php. This is the apache module for PHP which means the file will be uploaded with the apache user. In order to work around this you can modify your code to chown the file to the appropriate ftp user. The best option is to use PHP in FCGI mode or install SuPHP. This will ensure the files will always upload using the folder owner id.

Using cpanel this can be installed using the easyapache tool.
