    now the RIAA is probably going to find a way to sue you because your are using CD's in a way they didn't think about.

  4. Re:Swap caps lock and control on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    I have one that has the spacebar divided in two, and the left side of it is backspace, the right side is regular space...

    It's nearly impossible to type on it since I tend to hit the spacebar with my left thumb, but I sense this must be useful if one can ever get used to it.

    my Sun type 5c board has the caps lock and control keys in the right place, I have also had them with the capslock-under-shift configuration. It just seems that from time to time you find one with the control-under-shift configuration, and I tend to hang on to those.

    Second that, it doesn't work like it should on the aironet gear too (some settings just don't get applied etc), and the CMS (on catalysts) is just ridiculous, and puts an end to all its functionality as soon as you start using clustering.

    But Cisco itself proclaims that the web interfaces are still in a testing phase, and that you are still supposed to use the command line, which off course works flawless as ever (...).
    Fine for me, I got to like the IOS CLI.

    He could always propose the fact that the scanner would actually do everything described in his job, and that way they could fire him, fork out a little more cash for the big ass scanner, and save the money they'd have to spend on him.

  8. Re:Satellite rental on Temporary Wireless Service For An Outdoors Event? · · Score: 1

    what's wrong with refilling a running generator? Unless you're spastic or something it's just a matter of pouring the gas into the hole. You can place the generator far away from the people when you use a really really long extension cord. Et voila, your noise problem fixed. Using a UPS or batteries is just ridiculous, you can't rent batteries, and you can't just refill them with a canister of fuel.

  9. Re:Kismet got more because on Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 1

    antenna's are there for amplifying received signals too, and as you could have read in my reply a few cm above here, netstumbler needs to send packets to the accesspoint too in order to associate, while kismet doesn't.

  10. Re:Kismet Superiority on Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 2, Informative

    also, netstumbler is an active scanning tool, meaning that it needs to get associated with an accesspoint first before reporting it, so it needs to talk to the accesspoint for that, and if your card can't transmit that far it won't pick it up. Kismet works in RFmon mode, so it listens in on the airwaves and just reports what it gets from the beacon frames flying around, thus , because it doesn't have to transmit anything, having a much higher range if you use a sensitive NIC (like the cisco 350, or those 200mW prism's). Also, kismet is undetectable. The only pro for the netstumbler way of handling things is that is works with 99% of all cards, since it uses high-level methods of speaking to them.
