  7. Depends on what hardware you have... on Managing Router and Switch Inventories? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would bet money that the "big players" all have their own management/tracking/response software.

    That being said, our workplace uses Epicenter - Extreme Networks' monitoring software. It does all that you've asked for. As well, we also use SNMP and a common event logger - so that any errors and configurations automagically show up in our centralized network control.

    Seriously, if you have a big enough shop, you should probably be centered around one vendor for a solution for switches, and there should be management tools for those. Of course, this tends to work not-so-well for those who have linksys switches all over the place... but then again, you wouldn't need firmware revs etc for dumb switches.....

    BTW, those black lines in Trinitron tubes are not where the "electron gun beams don't overlap"... Those are stabilizer wires used to keep the grille in the tube in place.

    You'll see them in every trinitron. I've learned to ignore them, and actually need people to point them out to me nowadays - my mind just blanks them out completely, as weird as that sounds.

    (you know, the kind of stuff friends trick you into clicking on without telling you that scat, horses or hammers and nails are involved).

    Offtopic, but we have a funny story behind this. A friend of mine has a domain (initially set up for an ISP that he owned) so of course we all had mail accounts.

    We'd (a friend and myself) always send him the sickest shit we could find. He'd complain, we'd laugh and keep sending.

    One day, he was reading his e-mail while I was on the phone with him. He straight out asked me (in a pissed off voice) "Why do you send me this shit?"

    "That's why....."

    He closed the mail server shortly after that.....

    Because most teenagers don't know that "Freedom of Speech" does not imply that you can say absolutely anything you want.

    Yes, I'm grouping them, possibly unfairly to those who would think before they speak. However, knowing how I was in High School, if I would have been told I had free speech, I probably would have taken advantage of it on occasion, and hid behind that fact. Same with most people in my grade.

    Which sometimes fall into the category #3 you quoted above, sadly.

    It almost seems like this is supposed to be used in something like a restaurant, where you can control the different zones... however, I don't know of a restaurant that has "zone" control that plays different music on different zones. Usually just volume - that's it.

    We had a radio station here in Columbus, OH switch formats/owners.

    So, for 2 straight days, they played "Prison Bitch" over and over and over. Was kind of silly actually, especially since they weren't bleeping out the words.

    This was probably 3-4 years ago, but it still brings a smile to my face. Probably the first time I'd listened to radio in a LONG time.

    Holy cripes. You think a football game nowadays is just a pick up and play game?

    I've bought a few football games, and the problem me and my friends have is that if I play it for a few games more than they get a chance to play, then I just whoop their butts...

    So they can't just pick up and go.

    Now, Tecmo Bowl - there's a football game that you can just pick up and play!!!

  25. Re:What I would like to see on Security Breach Exposes 40M Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Nope.

    Every credit card has a billing cycle - take your due date on your statement and add 5-7 business days to it.

    Then, if you don't get your payment to the company by the cycle date, your days start adding. The day after your account cycles, you are 1 day late.

    In addition (Discover Card does this...) some credit card companies are "nice". That in if you miss 2 payments, they don't report you at 30 days until your 60th day past due.

    As well, if you make a partial payment, you can still be deemed overdue, since you didn't make the total minimum. Unless of course, you work out a deal with the creditor....
