Ways to shutdown/restart your computer via Remote Desktop.
I don’t how many times I’ve needed to reboot a machine while accessing it over Remote Desktop. I usually just open a command prompt and type shutdown -t 0 -r to reboot. However, Raymond provides four ways to do this.
When you are connected to a workstation via Remote Desktop, the “Turn Off Computer” option changes to “Disconnect”. But what if you really want to turn off the computer, hibernate it, or put it on stand-by?
Note: These tips work on Windows XP, but there is no guarantee that they will work in future versions of Windows.
My thoughts on T-Mobile Sensation
Been using T-Mobile for close to a day now and I must say I am impressed. easily the best phone I have used ever. Curious as to why there is not advertising on this phone. they could do so many things with this. Picture this….., Someone opens Phone to see Music video of INXS’s song “The New Sensation.” Playing on phone in HD, Then explore some of the phones features. Just my two cents…
Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon roadmap bumped back a little, expectations remain great
Seems like we just can’t get ARM’s next-generation Cortex-A15 system-on-chip out of our minds. Having figured as a headline item in LG’s ARM licensing deal this morning, it’s now shown up on a leaked Qualcomm roadmap, landing itself a lynchpin role in that company’s Snapdragon future. Alas, Qualcomm had been promising for the earliest of its MSM8930 / 60 and APQ8064 Snapdragons to be sampling in Q2 of this year, but this latest schedule shows them as sampling at the end of 2011. This isn’t hugely surprising in light of ARM’s recent forecast of Cortex-A15 devices in “late 2012,” but it’ll be disappointing to users keen to be exploiting quad-GPU and quad-CPU mobile rigs as soon as humanly possible. Guess that just leaves us waiting for the NGP or NVIDIA’s quad-core SOC in August. Hit the source link for more on Qualcomm’s plans for the near and distant future.
Why You Might Want to Stick With Your ISP’s DNS Server After All
Many of us use public DNS servers like Google Public DNS and Open DNS for faster web browsing and other benefits. But in some cases your ISP’s DNS server is much faster. Weblog Digital Inspiration illustrates why and when this might be.
It’s all about your IP address. As Digital Inspiration explains, all of the major websites use Content Delivery Networks like Amazon and Akamai to serve up the content. A CDN looks up your computer’s IP address to direct you to the nearest server, but because a public DNS server passes requests anonymously or without your precise location, the CDN might serve you content from a server that’s actually not the closest one to you. Your download speeds will thus be slower than if you were using your ISP’s DNS server.

Hijacking Web 2.0 Sites with SSLstrip and SlowLoris — Sam Bowne and RSnake at Defcon 17
Many Websites mix secure and insecure content on the same page, like Facebook. This makes it possible to steal all the data entered on such a page easily, using Moxie Marlinspike’s new SSLstrip tool.
SlowLoris is a new denial of service attack developed by RSnake.

Turn Your Old Router into a Range-Boosting Wi-Fi Repeater
If you’re upgrading to a faster, stronger wireless router, don’t chuck your older Wi-Fi box. With the magic of DD-WRT, you can turn your older wireless router into a range-expanding Wi-Fi repeater to cover everywhere you need a connection.
The advent of wireless home networks grew slowly in the past decade, but reached the point at which nearly every home with a high-speed connection had a wireless router that shared Wi-Fi connections throughout the home. Now Wireless N has become the standard at electronics retailers, promising faster connectivity with your wireless devices, faster transfer and streaming speeds between devices, and better connectivity. So what’s to be done with your home’s first wireless router?
How to Ditch Slow Wireless Speeds and Go Completely Wired in Your Home (and Why You Should)
Wi-Fi provides a convenient way to connect the computers in your home without dealing with the hassle of wires, but Wi-Fi is also slow and unreliable compared to a wired connection. Wireless may be the way of the future, but here are some of the best ways to go wired where it counts.
