You laugh but this is actually a real thing. Personally I like the ones that connect to your wi-fi. That way I have to find my phone, unlock it, open the app then turn off the power bar from there. I find it far simpler than simply reaching over and moving the single switch to the "off" position.
Just like any other country, some people do and some people don't. Did the two paramedics? Did the woman? I'd like to think that both parties would have tried any/all the languages they knew before resorting to Google translate.
If you're doing it yourself, you can probably do the job equally well as I can, but you'll need to go down to home depot or lowes and get the cheapest RJ45 crimper you can find (about $20) maybe a 300 foot spool of cat5e wire (as cheap as $20) a box of RJ45 terminators (about $20) modular jacks (about $5 each) and modular faceplates (about $1 each.)
No, just no. First of all, use cat6 cabling. It is only slightly more expensive than 5e but is a lot more future proof (i.e. 10GBASE-T up to 50meters). You could go 6a but it is a lot more expensive and the cabling is much thicker, making it more difficult to work with. Second, don't bother buying a crimper and making your own cables. It just isn't worth it when you can buy pre-terminated and pre-tested cat6 cables for like $5 or less. Just buy the spool of cable, modular jacks and face plates. If you want to get really fancy, get a cat6 patch panel for the side where all the terminations end up. The jacks and patch panels are worlds easier to terminate than the cable ends, especially when dealing with cat6.
Terminate everything with T586A and don't worry about doing any crossover stuff. The only time you will need a crossover, is if you are going switch to switch. Even then, this isn't 2002, most switches are auto-mdix now days. If you end up having to need a crossover for some reason, then just buy one. Again, they are like $5.
I keep all my work passwords in a file that is saved in a TrueCrypt volume. This volume is kept on a network share where only domain admins can access it. I also keep some of the important passwords on a piece of paper that is locked in a safe in the data center. Generally I remember all the passwords I need, but sometimes (especially after a vacation) I need to refer to the TrueCrypt volume. If I ever forgot the password to access the volume, I have it stored in the safe. If I forget the combination to the safe...I'm screwed. Thankfully that hasn't happened yet.
I'm with you, I don't see any ads either. The only ones I see are when I hover over, or go into the PS Store app. I don't think this is unreasonable. If you are in or hovering around the PS Store, you might actually want to see ads about new or on sale content. This is like bitching about Steam showing you "featured products" when you click on the store link.
I don't think you'll win any style points for this but you could install a ton of reflective bands inside...In fact, maybe just make make the seats out of it. Keep the limo bus dark so you need to use a flash to get a decent photo. When the flash goes off, the reflective material will pretty much ruin any photo taken.
From what I understand, SnapChat will detect that you have done this and let the other person know you grabbed a screenshot of the image. While this won't stop you from having a copy of that particular image, it will warn the other person not to send you any new ones in the future.
Because graphic violence only gets a game an M rating. Full nudity and sex automatically get a game an AO (Adult Only) rating. Most retailers refuse to stock AO games and getting an AO rating is effectively a death sentence for a console game since the only place you'd be able to sell them is the Internet and smaller stores. If you want big sales your game has to be sold in Walmart, Toys R Us, Gamestop etc.
Didn't The Witcher 2 get an M rating? Not that I care, I just want some consistency from the ESRB.
Correct. I believe I have also seen it in Ontario (Ottawa to be exact). Out west they use the flashing green arrow for a protected turn. A flashing green light is the same as a regular green light, it just indicates that the intersection is pedestrian controlled.
China is likely rapidly increasing their stockpile to bring it inline with the US and Russia. According to this diagram they are still quite far behind. Even if the US removes 1000 warheads, they will still be far behind. If that matters or not in the end is another argument entirely.
The only reason to make your bidding process Cisco only is if you are using Cisco-specific features on your network (e.g. EIGRP, HSRP) and you are too lazy or stupid to change them to the industry standard (e.g. OSPF, VRRP). HP and Juniper make good network equipment too. Seriously.
You could use a switch if you bought one with a layer 3 license. Unfortunately this switch would only do basic routing functions and wouldn't help you if you want to do site to site VPN for the really small sites. The cheaper solution is to buy ASA 5505s for the small sites. They do site to site VPN quite nicely and they have 8 ports so you probably won't even need a switch.
This really isn't that difficult and you can do it on the cheap if wireless isn't critical to your small business. Just buy 1 wired router with a built in DHCP server, and 4 or 5 wireless ones. Unless you need them to be powered by PoE, I wouldn't bother with the Cisco Aironet APs, just buy some cheap Linksys/Cisco wireless routers. Once you have all that, setup your wired router to connect to your network and then configure the wireless routers in the following way:
1. Disable the WAN/Internet interface on each one, you won't need it.
2. Give each one a static IP inside your network on the LAN interface (for example: 192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.205) with a gateway equal to the LAN IP of your wired router (for example: 192.168.1.1).
3. Set each wireless router to have the same SSID, encryption, password and channel (disable automatic channel selection).
4. Connect one of the LAN interfaces on each wireless router back to your network.
Because all your APs have the same SSID and password, the wireless clients should automatically connect to the one with the strongest signal strength. Your connection may temporarily drop if you are downloading a file and start walking across the office but for most people this solution should work. If you require monitoring, use a ping script or network monitoring tool to make sure all the APs are up. PRTG is actually free for less than 10 sensors so I'd recommend that if you don't already have one.
Damn right. I'm reading some of these stories on here and I can't believe how bad it is in some companies. Every year I get 20 vacation days, 5 flex days (to be used for vacation/dentist/sick/child sick days) days and 15 sick days (that can only be used when you are sick). I also live in Canada so going to the doctor when I get someone really bad doesn't cost me anything extra.
I'll take some of the union-induced laziness exhibited by some of my coworkers in exchange for the power of collective bargaining any day of the week.
We've had these signs for a decade in BC. The problem is that some people actually speed up when the warning lights start flashing. Basically all it has done is give people a heads up that they need to start accelerating now if they want to make the light up ahead. The end result is people speeding through the intersection far faster than they would be if they had just run the amber light.
Where I live the law specifically exempts on-duty policy officers from the talking on the cell phone while driving restriction. There is no language in there saying that the phone call has to be business related either. This caused a bit of an uproar when the law was introduced...but of course it went through anyway.
I don't even think Microsoft looks at the events they sponsor. I can't tell you how many tech events I've been to where Microsoft was listed as a "Gold" sponsor. The last few were small ones in a 100 person conference room and nobody from Microsoft was even there. They just paid the x number of dollars to get their name listed as a sponsor for the event. What is $20,000 to a company that charges $30,000 for a single-processor edition of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise?

I can also cook better than most and I love cooking. I also enjoy eating what I cook. What I hate doing is cleaning up after I cook.
