Dear Xbox 360 makers

- Please make 'A' the default play button in the video player instead of 'Y' I want to play the video instead of having to wait for the next menu load before playing the video. If I want to see more info about the video I can then press 'Y' for more info.

- Locking the controller during menu changes is frustrating.. I want to be able to enter a number of key presses and skip straight to the menu's

- Instead of skipping 1/6 of the way through the video when I press the shoulder buttons only skip forwards 30 seconds and back 20 seconds respectively.

- use the pressure sensitive shoulder triggers to fast forward and rewind the video/music

- Allow me to skip to any part of the video by using the joystick

- 'A' to pause and then 'A' to resume not menu.

- Loading of menu's takes far too long.

That is all for now.

Our security auditor is an idiot, how do I give him the information he wants?

All I can say is "wow". I reckon both these guys are in the wrong. One for asking for it, the other for asking "how do I fake it?"

Dell Latitude E6400 freezes at sysyprep. fails to build

Yesterday I  had an issue where our Dell Latitude E6400's would not build through SCCM properly. It would fail at the "Windows  XP Setup" sysprep screen. The fix for this turns out to be one of the weirdest things I've seen.

Simply remove the battery before imaging and reinstall it after imaging.. 

Taking a look at the setupapi.log file left in c:\windows\ shows that the last thing it was trying to do was install a drivers for a plug and play device named "ACPI\PNP0C0A\2" and matched with the inf  "battery.inf".

#-011 Installing section [CmBatt_Inst.Interfaces] from "c:\windows\inf\battery.inf".

#I054 Interfaces installed.
