As a customer who has had Cogent inflicted on us (when Verio sold all their domestic internet lines to Cogent), we've had nothing but pain and bumbling inefficiency from them for the last six months.
I contacted Cogent's "premium" help desk last night when I found that I was suddenly no longer able to get to our networks in Australia. The tech had no idea that his own company was in the middle of a huge peering battle with L3. I had to tell them!
unless of course you've already seen ROTK at a sneak preview like me, in which case you are waiting for it to actually be released so you can go see it again!!!!!:p
and I'm sick of articles that talk about "ignorant IT staff" being the problem for mac users. mac's aren't rocket science, they talk tcp/ip like anyone else, it's just really not that complicated....any half decent IT guy can get it on the network. that's not the issue though.
the issue as you pointed out is brining in unknown personal pc's and attaching it to a corporate network. That's a security back-door if I ever saw one....
Corporate 802.1x deployment here with Funk Odyssey

Are You Using 802.1X?
·
· Score: 1
I've deployed 802.1x here in an enterprise setting using Cisco APs and Funk Odyssey. The thing I like about Odyssey is it supports just about every.1x authentication type. We are using a mix of EAP-TTLS and EAP-LEAP and plan to begin testing using EAP-TLS and client side certs soon.
We can also support just about any client nic out there which makes our users happy. I get encryption keys that are unique to each user and change every 9 minutes or so.
I tested several of the commercial VPN solutions prior to going with 802.1x, but in general I found them to be too finicky for our user base, more complicated to administer, and quite expensive to boot...
As others have mentioned already, they don't really compete. No one builds enterprise grade networks using linksys equipment...that would be insane. And home users don't need a cisco access point or switch for their home network that would be an incredible waste of money.
So the article says that Linux web servers are cheaper to run than Windows ones. Is anyone surprised by this? Is it actually news?
I'm still waiting for the article to come out discussing TCO as it relates to desktops, which is where most of the money is lost in support dollars....

Star Trek died the moment they decided that T&A were more important (i.e. Seven of Nine) than quality stories and characters with depth.....
I've had this in my calendar as July 23rd for years. When did it change?
The main location that appears in the beginning trailer is Blenheim Palace, which happens to be the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill

From the info on the official webiste, it appears that both of those student films will be on the DVD release.
And I agree with your sentiment re: THX1138. Much more substantial than anything he's made since.
That iPod mini will sound great while he's flipping over in the inherently unsafe vehicle that is the Ford Explorer.
I completely agree. I haven't seen Sun do anything that leads me to believe they are really for open systems.
Her performance in the scene with the witch king was quite good and right in sync with the feeling I got from the books. Bravo!

abso-frickin-lutely.

No kidding. A linksys access point is a toy compared to the features and manageability you get with a Cisco AP.

I live in California and think this is great, but I'm also realistic enough to know that this will be stuck in the courts for years....
Not Shakespeare. Chaucer is more accurate....
...but that doesn't make it proper English. Save the 'l33t speek for cyberspace, learn how to speak the language properly in the classroom.
It will help you in aspects of life that have nothing to do with computers (yes, they do exist!)
would be crappy espresso. It takes at least 20-30 seconds to brew a proper cup of espresso....
They clearly don't give a rat's ass about the general internet user, just large ISPs and trademark holders.....
The Cobweb is great. I liked it a lot better than Interface.
We're all very happy for you. Smoke a phatty for me.
Yes but do they MAKE money, i.e. turn a profit. Just because you sell something doesn't mean you are actually making money....
Most definitely. Carmack has always remained engaged with the community, which is one of the coolest things about him.
;)
That and his amazing programming skills which have cost me years of lost productivity
Get the Agate one instead....$69 for 16mb,$129 for 32 MB.
In a nutshell: Yup. Right on my brother.
