MCSA Self-Paced Training Kit for 70-291

2008-12-16T14:09:00.000-08:00

If you're an idiot like me, you might have just started studying for the 70-291 without any networking knowledge or experience (here's an interesting fact: hardcore test-takers refer to the 70-291 as "the beast")

After three days of trying to set up VM's, I've given up and networked two PC's together. When the book says "make sure they're physically networked," what they mean is:

with a crossover cable.

Nowhere in the book will you find this information. If you know networking basics, it's a given. For me it was not as I'm up to my ears in strictly Socratic wisdom.

Hi all,

My bad, this is a repost from the wrong thread:

I'm having the custom domain problem with www.jamesbovay.net

I added the recommended A and CNAME entries (although I'm not sure
where I put the "1800" and "3600" in GoDaddy's totalDNS control page).

I tried the Magic Reset form on Friday, but no luck yet.

Could the problem stem from leaving on the "locked" option in
Godaddy's administrative console? Does it need to be unlocked to map
blogger to the custom domain? I think I tried that the last time I
had this problem a couple years ago, ended up with some robot parking
spam on my domain.

Thanks!

-James

I keep yelling at Gatsby. He's been quiet for 4 days, so I would bet
that he took a long weekend. Try again, in 2 days.

Good morning, "Something is broken" board,

Can you believe it's been a whole week since we've talked? I know!
My new job is going well I think. How about you?

Anyway, don't be a stranger.

Your pal,

-James

(ps- my custom domain problem has not yet been resolved. See you next
week, same bat time, same bat channel)

Tidal acceleration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Because the Moon's mass is a considerable fraction of that of the Earth (about 1:81), the two bodies can be regarded as a double planet system, rather than as a planet with a satellite. The plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth lies close to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic), rather than in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Earth (the equator) as is usually the case with planetary satellites.there exists a torque between the Earth and the Moon.

This boosts the Moon in its orbit, and decelerates the rotation of the Earth."

From what I've read this is legitimate, the terms of service say you "can't" do it, as in, it's impossible, but not that you musn't. If I'm wrong somebody please let me know.

Just go into layout, then "Edit HTML." Find the following line of code and add the highlighted portion:

/* Header
-----------------------------------------------
*/

#navbar-iframe {height:0px;visibility:hidden;display:none}

#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid $bordercolor;

And voila. Also, I got a real job today, so this could be the first and last post of jamesbovay.net.

Thanks to AudibleHype for the instructions.
