In The Manga Guide to Calculus, you'll follow along with Noriko as she learns that calculus is more than just a class designed to weed out would-be science majors. You'll see that calculus is a useful way to understand the patterns in physics, economics, and the world around us, with help from real-world examples like probability, supply and demand curves, the economics of pollution, and the density of Shochu (a Japanese liquor). - Michael Johnson

Wouldn't it be great if there were a statistics book that made histograms, probability distributions, and chi square analysis more enjoyable than going to the dentist? Head First Statistics brings this typically dry subject to life, teaching statistics through engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking material, full of puzzles, stories, quizzes, visual aids, and real-world examples. This book satisfies the requirements for passing the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics Exam. - Michael Johnson

This series of articles on automating the deployment of Windows Vista to desktop computers continues by examining the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool and its role in deploying Vista. - Michael Johnson

With the new tools that come with Windows Vista, it is faster (and arguably easier) to deploy Windows to multiple desktops, that is, once you get your base image(s) created. There is a learning curve. You will have to learn about the WAIK, WSIM, WinPE, ImageX, autounattend.xml and sysprep.xml. Though not rocket science, time will need to be spent learning these new tools and processes. The following will show you how to configure a reference PC that once imaged, using Sysprep and ImageX, can be deployed to multiple PCs in a Windows Server 2003 domain environment. - Michael Johnson

On November 3 2009, Sysinternals retired NewSID, a utility that changes a computers machine Security Identifier (machine SID). I wrote NewSID in 1997 (its original name was NTSID) because the only tool available at the time for changing machine SIDs was the Microsoft Sysprep tool, and Sysprep doesn’t support changing the SIDs of computers that have applications installed. A machine SID is a unique identifier generated by Windows Setup that Windows uses as the basis for the SIDs for administrator-defined local accounts and groups. After a user logs on to a system, they are represented by their account and group SIDs with respect to object authorization (permissions checks). If two machines have the same machine SID, then accounts or groups on those systems might have the same SID. It’s therefore obvious that having multiple computers with the same machine SID on a network poses a security risk, right? At least that’s been the conventional wisdom. - Michael Johnson

This article discusses how to customize the default local user profile settings when you create an image on a computer that is running one of the following operating systems: - Michael Johnson

Have you performed a rollout, only to discover that your network might suffer from the SID duplication problem? In order to know which systems have to be assigned a new SID (using a SID updater like our own NewSID), you have to know what a computer's machine SID is. Up until now, there's been no way to tell the machine SID without knowing Regedit tricks and exactly where to look in the Registry. - Michael Johnson
