A colleague and I are working on a proposal together and I’m wondering if there’s a smarter way to pull it together than incessantly emailing Microsoft Word documents back and forth?

I’m sticking a new 200GB (or so) SATA drive in my workstation. What is the tradeoff between number of partitions and performance? Will multiple partitions offer noticeable speed improvement?
There is a process that must be shutdown for maintenance purpose every morning at 5:00 am. Usually it spawn several children and sometimes some of those children don’t die, so the parent process won’t die either. When the application starts up again it raises a new parent process but in confict with the old one that hasn’t died yet. All I need is kill the childs of the old process.
How can I look for every process when I know the parent process id?
I’m definitely going crazy here. I have a ton of CDs that I’ve ripped with Windows Media Player 10, but they’re all apparently in WMA format, not the MP3 format that my new Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) needs for me to listen to them. I checked and there’s no “save as” capability in WMP, so how the heck do I fix this problem?
I have MusicMatch Jukebox on my computer and it starts automatically. (Windows XP) I do not like it. I much prefer Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. I’ve tried to switch Windows Media Player to the default, and it will work when I open specific music or audio files (and I do tell it to open “all files of this type with this program”), but it goes back to opening MusicMatch when a new file comes along.
“rewards for doing good”- grades/college (and high school). I know there are pros and cons on this, however at this point I am committed and am going to move ahead with a program. I think you can help me make it better based on the seasoned experience of other people who have done this and the changes they would make.
I have used this process for grades-elementary school, for reading, and for learning classmates names with my children when they were younger and it provided great benefits to them. Now I want to apply it with grades for a Junior in High school and sophomore in college (note: they are already excellent, I just want to FURTHER encourage that.
Similarly, again I am committed. My oldest has for some time had an interest in “investing”. I’ve told him I’d give him some money to “learn with” (probably in the stock market). I’ve been thinking start small, like $1,000 or $2,000. What are some smart rules that would both motivate and serve him (and our family)?
I’m a happy Amazon shopper – even for your books, Dave! – but I’ve always been curious: when I see a review and have the option to vote whether it’s useful to me or not, does it actually matter what I click? I’m just wondering if there’s some secret backroom feature that it enables or something?
Dave, we have a server security problem in Mac OSX, it is being remotely accessed by a former sys admin who has been stealing our business and the webfiles that go with them. Could you work with me to help lock down this machine?
He set the machine up, it is one of several we run. As a result, he knows the root level password. I am finding when we try to change the MySQL root password, which is the same, the websites which rely on MySQL can no longer “see” their data tables. We also must shut out this fellow’s access through terminal, or change the server’s root name and pass.
Help!
