I remember there was a setting in Windows Server 2003 that made a user account on the domain auto-logon when the computer booted up. It was just one setting on the server, and not a registry edit on the local computer. Does anybody know what it was called and where to find it?
I have a computer with Windows XP installed.  My user does not have a password.  When Windows starts, it goes to the login screen. Because my user has no password, is there any way to bypass this screen, and log in automatically?
SQL - Query to get server's IP address how to add xsl attribute Is there a proof that $\pi$ is an irrational number? Most math texts claim that $\pi$ is an irrational number. However, I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding that.  Since nobody has calculated all of the digits of $\pi$, how can we know that either:   one of the digits repeats (as in $\frac{10}{3}$) the number eventually terminates     Note: Please be very descriptive in your answers... I don't have anything beyond high school math. How does evolving relate to CP? Why is the observable universe so big? The observable universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old. But yet it is 80 billion light years across. Isn't this a contradiction?

RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05) An instructor has an exam of 5 questions and a question bank of 50 questions. Are there $50\choose 5$ or $(50)_5$ possible exams? Where $(50)_5 = 50! / 45! $ and $50\choose 5$ $= 50!/(5!45!)$   I've narrowed it down to these two possibilities (though even these may be wrong), but I think I'm confusing myself as to which one I use. Can anyone suggest a good way of thinking of this problem that will make it apparent whether I need use use the falling factorial or the binary coefficient?   Edit: thank you for all the answers! Indeed, I meant $50!/45$ as the falling factorial. Also, the question doesn't specify whether it was meant to be ordered or unordered, but I think I understand my confusion now! Black holes are thought to originate when a star burns out and collapses to a smaller physical size. This compresses it's matter, but would that increase it's gravity? And would it be enough to capture light? If that star's light could have been observed prior to it's collapse, how could it's burning out and collapse enable it to become a black hole and capture light? Get current URL with jQuery? I am using jQuery. How do I get the path of the current URL and assign it to a variable?  Example URL:  http://localhost/menuname.de?foo=bar&amp;amp;number=0 An operator on the other side of the Schrödinger equation A form of the  is  $$     \left[-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \nabla^2 + V(\vec{r}, t)\right]\Psi = i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi $$  The bracketed term is of course the Hamiltonian, and the whole equation can hence be written as  $$     \hat{H}\Psi = i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi $$  My question is, is there a existing/named operator represented by $i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}$? That is, can we further rewrite the equation as  $$     \hat{H}\Psi = \hat{\Theta}\Psi $$  For some predefined operator $\hat{\Theta} = i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t}$? Torque direction meaning I apologize if this question is dumb, but I've looked all over for a straightforward answer, and either I can't find one or either the terms are too complex for me to understand. I have only a rudimentary knowledge of Mechanics, but I do understand basic Linear Algebra. So torque, mathematically, is the cross product of the radial distance vector and a force vector. This cross-product gives another vector that is orthogonal to both vectors and it points either outside or towards the &quot;page&quot; (in the context of a two-dimensional diagram). Assuming this is correct, I do not understand what it pointing in or out means. Does it even have a physical, intuitive meaning? The best answer I've been able to come up with is that it's just a mathematical convention with no actual physical meaning, meant to provide a framework within which operations between torque vectors, such as addition and subtraction, make sense. Am I correct or way off the mark here? Fastest way to try all passwords Suppose you have a computer with a password of length $k$ in an alphabet of $n$ letters.  You can write an arbitrarly long word and the computer will try all the subwords of $k$ consecutive letters. What is the smallest word that contains all combinations of $k$ letters as subword? (i.e. the fastest way to hack the computer :) )  The smallest word that contains $n^k$ subwords of size $k$ has length $k-1+n^k$ and based on some easy cases, we would like to prove that it is in fact possible to find a word of such length that contains all possible passwords. The problem can be translated into a problem in graph theory, by taking as vertices all words of length $k$.  We tried $k=2$, where you can prove the conjecture by induction. For $n=2$ and small $k$ it also works. Access-Control-Allow-Origin Multiple Origin Domains? Command line move file with long directory path without repeating directory path Is there any way of executing a mv command without typing the full path in the second argument?

This is a question to experienced people that might help us shed some light on the issue.   We noticed a very strange behavior on our site, in Google Analytics. Some dude from Finland, namely, from Kouvola city is hitting one of our pages - only one page on our site, 'bout a hundred times per day, all with an average bounce rate of 90%+...  This is causing our overall bounce rate to go up by 1 to 3% per day... which is very disturbing.. since we're trying to do our best in order to keep it as low as possible. And obviously having it jumped from ~24% to 27%, just because of that crazy dude is not making us happy at all... We tried implementing a geo-targeted script in order to catch this particular visitor and deliver him a juicy message, and it seemed like it helped in the beginning, it has stopped for a day or two, but now he's back...   The geo-targeted script was also logging all IP addresses for page requests originating from Finland in order to find out more details and (in order to block them on the server level, later).. but thing is, it was all mainly cable or DSL connections with various, but not constantly repeating IPs... we are all wondering what is he up to really ?   I think that this page should be kept updated with ideas on how to combat this and perhaps someone could also shed light on what it might be ? What is the reason for doing this "bounce-rate attack", as I call it?  There was a similar question asked on stackoverflow earlier, with no meaningful answer - here - I know references are syntactic sugar, so code is easier to read and write.
