Sure you can, just get an automatically controlled power plug. turns power off for 1 minute at 3AM. You can get an analog one at a hardware store easy. It plugs into the wall, has kinda a setable clock on it, you set on time and offtime and it turns power on and off to the physical plug.

[H] Adding users to XP from the command line
I've been trying to use the net users command to add users to XP via the command line: net users Fester Bestertester /add The user appears in the Control Panel users applet, but it's a limited account, and I can't get it to create a user directory in Documents and Settings. Does anyone know how to get it to do a complete creation of a user from the command line in WinXP? T
Re: [H] Adding users to XP from the command line
http://www.ss64.com/nt/netuseroptions.html
Net user options
The NET Command is used to manage network resources as follows:
options are as follows:
/active:{no | yes}
Enable or disable the user account.
The default is yes (login is allowed)
Disabling an account does not immediately log off any user sessions.
/comment:text
A descriptive comment (48 characters).
/countrycode:nnn
Use the OS country codes to implement specified language files for help
and error messages. 0 = default country code.
/expires:{date | never}
Cause the user account to expire. date can be in mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, or
mmm,dd,yy format, depending on the /countrycode. Months can be a number,
spelled out, or abbreviated with three letters. Use commas or slashes to
separate parts of the date (no spaces).
/fullname:name
The user's full name (rather than a username).
/homedir:path
The path for the user's home directory. The path must exist.
/homedirreq:{yes | no}
Is a home directory required?
/passwordchg:{yes | no}
Can users change their own password? The default is yes.
/passwordreq:{yes | no}
Must a user account have a password? The default is yes.
/profilepath:[path]
The path for the user's logon profile.
This pathname will be used to store their registry profile.
/scriptpath:path
Path for the user's logon script. This is relative to
%systemroot%\SYSTEM32\REPL\IMPORT\SCRIPTS. (The NETLOGON share) You can't
use an absolute path.
/times:{times | all}
The times the user is allowed to use the computer.
The times value is expressed as day[-day][,day[-day]] ,
time[-time][,time[-time]], limited to 1-hour time increments.
Days can be spelled out or abbreviated (M,T,W,Th,F,Sa,Su).
Hours can be 12- or 24-hour notation. For 12-hour notation, use AM, PM, or
A.M., P.M.
The value all means a user can always log on.
A null value (blank) means a user can never log on.
Separate day and time with commas, and units of day and time with
semicolons (for example, M,4AM-5PM;T,1PM-3PM).
Do not use spaces when designating /times.
/usercomment:text
Add or change the User comment for the account. Only Administrators can
edit this.
/workstations:{computername[,...] | *}
List as many as eight workstations from which a user can log on to the
network.
Separate multiple entries in the list with commas.
If /workstations has no list, or if the list is *, the user can log on
from any computer.
Examples
NET USER jbloggs apass /ADD /fullname:Joe Bloggs /scriptpath:logon.cmd
NET USER alice_smith /ACTIVE:yes /comment:RAS User /DOMAIN
NET USER fred_bloggs /HOMEDIR:\\Server_05\
/PROFILEPATH:\\Server_05\D$\USERS\fred_bloggs /DOMAIN

Re: [H] Bad Netgear 314 ?
There's more than a few good firewall/routers with hackable linux firmwares from few vendors, Linksys Buffalo are two. They give you a lot more than simple content filtering. None of the ones I've looked at have 10Mb for the WAN connection which is going to be an issue soon with cable bandwidth creeping over 10Mb.

[H] Resetting defaults in Firefox
At some point in trying to tweak my about:config file I think I screwed something up. FF randomly freezes and stops responding for anywhere from 5-20 seconds. It doesn't go to 99% CPU usage or swap, just freezes. I tried uninstsalling/reinstalling but everything was exactly the same. I deleted the Program Files directory - is it keeping settings/preferences in another location on the machine? Anyways, is there a way I can reset my about:config back to its original state? Or am I completely screwed and have to start fresh and redo all my extensions, bookmarks, etc. -- Brian
