    How do i setup a free VPN using a consumer grade router (WNDR3700) and Windows PCs? Al I do is leave the router remote management port open and then open the RDP hole as needed.

    Have you ever heard of the word compromise? As in 'you always have to compromise security for flexibility?' You want a secure computer? turn it off. Everything else takes diligence.

  5. Re:I'm not going to make the tablet mistake again. on New iPad Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    Tablets are the windows that i both feed and administer my 'real' computers'. This is in no way a bad thing. By the way, the ipad would run circles around the laptops they had in that move. You could run all the CGI sequences from that movie in real time on the ipad. But yeah ,its a toy, a bauble.

    because people never make mistakes and justice is always perfect and we should have ways to strip people of their CREATOR granted rights.

    The problem is that wireless spectrum is owned BY THE PEOPLE, we lease it to these companies. It is this fact alone that moves telecomms from ordinary companies to necessary infrastructure, subject to special rules and regulations. We should be HAMMERING wireless with regulation right now. I have a problem with a corporation, denying access to PUBLICLY OWNED airwaves because he is taking them to task legally.

    They will be. Ultrabooks are the end of the line for pure 'notebook' style notebooks. In the very near future the mobile space will consume the notebook market except for niche mobile content creators. A traditional notebook's ONLY advantage now, is that it has more power, THATS IT. With emulation, virtualization and highly ubiquitous internet connectivity, there is very little need to carry a notebook these days besides inertia. They have thier place, but quite honestly its overkill for most situations when you are on the go. The software stack for the ipad is pretty amazing, we'll even see a native Office app soon.

    Win 7 Home Prem. is still missing some pretty basic stuff that any sane person would insist should be included like network backups, group policy and remote desktop.

  13. Not one single man on Meet The Man Who Designed a Tablet Computer 15 Years Before the iPad · · Score: 2

    designed the tablet. It was designed almost a century before it ever came to light. We are simply bolting together mostly off the shelf stuff and gluing it together with nice software because it can be done now. There is no invention in the tablet, its the realization of hopes and dreams and we had to wait for technology to catch up. No one man invented the tablet, not by a long shot.

    The Apple implementation of touch on the Desktop is light years ahead of Windows 8. The entire enterprise can be summed up as: "We like Apple's unlimited control over a walled garden, we want that at all costs, desktop users be damned, they will come to like it or else"

    Hmmm one book that lasts forever or ALL BOOKS i could possibly have an interest in, on a relatively fragile but ultimately low maintenance device? thats a toughie......

    Your post also presumes that if your e-reader is broken you cant use another capable computing device to view the material. EVERY book I have is on my dropbox and readily accesible from pretty much any internet connected personal computing device on the planet or in orbit. Luddite.

    P.S. Ive ruined physical books in the field too, dropped it in the creek, too close to the campfire, need the paper in the book to start the fire etc etc.

    Asking someone's age in an interview IS NOT strictly prohibited by law. It is a very nasty attack vector for a lawsuit of age discrimination, if pursued. It opens a big 'possible' liability hole, nothing more.

    They are different chips besides just lead time and testing. They carry ALOT more cache, which isnt cheap, as well as handle very high amounts of I/O in a much more efficient manner. Xeons are more then just rebadged Cores

    Mac mini (the latest models) are jsut fine as a 'good' desktop. My win 7 gaming PC transcodes video about 1/3 faster with the extra 2 cores (but no hyperthreading like on the mac.) Ive run handbrake side by side, i5 quad core PC vs i5 dual core HT and the difference is not as great as you would make out. As a DESKTOP its a fine machine, as a workstation, it functions well. 16 GB RAM + SSD in a mac mini = a blazing fast computer with a tiny heat, size and noise footprint. Currently running 2 linux and a win 7 VM on the mac mini. The win 7 VM is recording 2 HD streams of premium cable TV and will then clip the commercials and transcode it into 2 different formats, all while im typing this up.
