How can I mount a remote directory on my computer?

I have all my code and data on my computer at work. But often I work from home, so I ssh into the work computer, connect to my GNU screen session (which includes a text-based emacs) and start hacking, compiling, etc. This can get a bit annoying sometimes, especially if my connection is slow, and the remote emacs lags behind my typing. ...

How to tell if a network adapter is removable on Windows

Hello, community! How can I tell if a given network adapter retrieved through the Win32 GetAdaptersInfo() or GetAdaptersAddresses() functions is a removable one, like USB, SmartCard, etc?

Why is it not advisable to have the database and web server on the same machine?

Listening to Scott Hanselman's interview with the Stack Overflow team (part 1 and 2), he was adamant that the SQL server and application server should be on separate machines. Is this just to make sure that if one server is compromised, both systems aren't accessible? Do the security concerns outweigh the complexity of two servers (ext...

When my program starts up, the comboboxes (there are 2 that are having this problem) do show up. However, when I click on the arrow one item (there should be 7 items showing) shows up and there is no border around the list.

Database bandwidth much higher compared to server bandwidth. Normal?

A while back we were transferring our reasonably popular forum to a new dedicated server (with the same host), and we noticed something weird. At first we used the new server to host just the database as this was the biggest issue. Then later we transferred the forum files and changed the dns for the domain. When we look back at the ban...

Starting remote processes in a Windows network

I have several slave machines and a master machine which together run a distributed application. Processes on each slave machine have to have a GUI and network access (I think it would be called an interactive process then). For ease of use it would be nice if the master machine could start/stop the processes on those slave machines. My...
