a. I have a Sony Vaio Notebook with a nearly full 256GB SSD drive, 8GB Ram - its seems like its quick to overheat and shuts itself down frequently, especially if there's a lot of network traffic
b. I have a MacBook Pro, 15", 500GB SSD
c. I cant afford to purchase a new system (Windows or Mac) AND I'd like to migrate the 'content' off the Sony Vaio
My plan/thoughts goes something like this
- Upgrade the SSD in the Macbook Pro to 2TB
- Install Mac Parallels on the MacBook Pro
- Import the Sony Vaio as a VM onto the MacBook Pro (yeah, its going to be a mutha of a VM)
- If the 'Vaio VM' is usable, good, if not, continue
- Create a new Windows 7 VM on the MacBook under Parallels (maybe on an external drive), Install VS 2015 Onto it (the Sony Vaio only has VS2010 on it)
If I can get past step (3), my big worry is if Parallels can actually handle a VM that size
Any thoughts ? or do I download the 14 day trial of Parallels and 'jfgowi' (just freaken get on with it)

I don't have a Mac, but a quick Google shows a lot of results for using large VM images. Most VM software can support VMs of >= 1TB, so I don't think it will be a problem.

I hope you feel better soon! One of my friends has a Hyper-V VM with a 64 TB drive and it works fine (he is using a RAID system to store it). I don't know what he has on it, but I do know it is about half full.

I don't do Mac, but a previous coworker swore by Parallels. He had a Mac with Ubuntu and Windows VMs, that's how he did all his work.

lately since I did a code release for a Webforms project running on Server Core 2012 IIS, I've been getting a much larger number of these errors.
Most of them come from bots and crawlers, but a majority are coming from lets say Android phones from Sprint.
I did the machine key in the web config, really didn't make a difference.
The errors are on embedded scripts and images in a DLL. I can see now that there coming from encypted pages, SSL pages. Hmm?
I've been getting reports of users being kicked out when this error occurs on mobile phones.

The name of your SMTP server that will be used to send the mail

On New Database Mail Account screen, for Server Name specify your SMTP Server name like
Hotmail: SMTP server name: smtp.live.com, Port number: 587
Gmail : SMTP server name: smtp.gmail.com, Port number: 587
Yahoo : SMTP server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com,Port number : 25
AOL : SMTP server name: smtp.aol.com, Port number : 587
The server requires a secure connection (SSL) - check this box

Here's what's going on...
- I have 18 URLs with approaching renewal dates at GoDaddy
- Prices range from $9 to $20 depending on the top level domain
- The prices seemed inconsistent to me; fred.info had a different price from barney.info
- Called a couple of other places
- Domain.Com[^] seemed to have better prices
GoDaddy wants me to (but is not requiring me to) renew for 2 years on each name.
The total is about $510 (five hundred, ten dollars) for the two year package.
The average price works out to a little over $14 per domain name. (I think it's $14.14)
Is it time to stick with the same place I've been for five or ten years, or jump ship ?

At home I got Windows 10 Pro.
I also have Hyper V with a few virtual machines, including another (virtual) Windows 10 (pro) machine.
I am trying to share file between the two! Doesn't work!
My VM use an External (Virtual) Network switch
On my local (real) PC I have a file share available to everybody (read/write access).
On my VM, in the file explorer > network, I can see my (real) PC, but I can't open the file share!!
Any idea how to progress from there?!

OK.. so I have an application built on the .NET 2.0 framework with a MySQL database which needs to run on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server (with service Pack 1)
After installing it, in order to get it to run, I have to go to the application pools in IIS, find the relevant one, click on Advanced Settings, and set "Enable 32-bit applications" to True.
That works - otherwise I get a "Server Error in '/' Application. ... is not a valid Win32 application" page.
Trouble is though, as soon as I do set this, while simple pages display al;right, as soon as I get to one that requires database access I get this error:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
If I set "Enable 32-bit applications" to False, I can run a simple test page that access tha database (uncompiled, with inline server code) and this works fine - so the connector is working adn the connectionstring correct.
All of which kind of leaves me between a rock and hard place. Any ideas gratefully received!

You've created an ODBC data source using the 64-bit version of the ODBC Administrator tool. You need to create it in the 32-bit version of the tool, which is located at: %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

I have no idea how to even do that... I ahve never "created an ODBC data source" in my life. All I do is add some code to create it in my asp.net code behind, then assign it a connectionstring
"Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};server=localhost;database=xxx;uid=xxx;pwd=xxx"

Hi everybody. I bought a hosting to a server (no matter which are), and there I made a MySQL database ... and I want to connect to this MySQL database, through ODBC.
When I tried to connect through ODBC driver GUI, I get [Connection failed. Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mydomain.com'(10060)] error.
On server side, I had done everything to be able to connect (add my IP on remote MySQL list, create user, pass, and database, grant all rights to user, etc.).
But the guys from hosting said that I will be able to connect on my MySQL DB through localhost .... it is possible to do that ? If yes, how ? Can you help me ?
Thank you.

You have to check with the hosting services in what way MySQL configured...You have two main options...
1. MySQL accessible only from applications running on the hosted server...
2. MySQL made public and you can use it from the outside world...
In my experience it is always the first option you get...
But! also in this case you can access your data from outside, by adding a layer - of some API - of software to it...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I doubt I that have these options (1 and 2) on my CPanel ... I have to check it, though ...

If it is a hosted database that comes with one of the website-packages, then it won't work. There's a firewall preventing connections from the outside.

I think you are right ...

Can you connect to the database with other than your project? i.e. MySQL workbench or putty?

For my experience it is always About your Server IP Whitelists.
As i understand your MySQL Database is Hosted somewhere using a Professional hosting company. These companies wont just allow outside connections even you knew your DB login credentials.
For what i understand you are trying to host a Database online where you can deploy your project anywhere and use that DB as an online storage.
This can be achieve by:
1. Make sure that the PC's IP Addess are registered to your server IP Whitelist so they wont block incoming MYSQL connections from your end.
2. Make sure you are using a Static IP otherwise you will have to re register your public ip to your server every time it changes

"As i understand your MySQL Database is Hosted somewhere using a Professional hosting company. These companies wont just allow outside connections even you knew your DB login credentials"
Yes, you are right ... and yes, I already added my IP in the server white list .. not working ! And the solution given by the server administrators was to buy a VPS hosting on their server, or a dedicated server ... for me, in this stage, is not worth it ... I wonder if there exist another workaround ... ?
