    Are you posting from the past? Obama is president now, we made it through the Bush years.

    I rarely download things, maybe once every couple of months. My wife asked for those instead of waiting for them to appear on netflix. That letter made her real nervous despite my assurances so I need to set up a vpn.

    In Cisco's defense, they will list all their commands with a succinct description that may or may not mean what you think it means.

    autocomplete is yoru friend on the command line.

    Got my first strike from AT&T for downloading broadcast copies of Sons of Anarchy. I subscribe to FX, so I was basically time-shifting.

    I think your handle may give me some insight into your view. Suse has always had the best hardware compatibility. Debian has more packages avaliable, but Suse is catching up. All these people who bad mouth Suse don't know what they are missing out on.

    If you are still using Network Solutions, you have only yourself to blame...

    I noticed a site I was using showed up with an invalid certificate. It seemed to match the domain and had not expired. It was issues by Network Solutions. I'm sure this is related.

    The problem is that people think our system is capitalism, as in the capital owner runs the show, unfortunately it is managementism, as in the managers take what they want and dump the rest on the owners (who have no say beyond non-binding votes).

  12. Re:Middle of the road on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    In my experience the Small Business equipment is worse the consumer equipment. It may be slightly more durable, but they often try to cram features that are poorly implemented and it makes the whole device flaky.

    Another problem with ESXi is file copying. You can SSH into the Host OS and move files using SCP, but VMware has intentionally crippled the speed at which SCP functions. It's really slow to back up or shuffle things to a new host.

  14. Re:UPS on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the only thing worse then consumer grade crap is the SMB grade crap. I always recommend low end enterprise over SMB sized equipment. Your better off rolling your own using embedded hardware, pfsense for the router, nas4free for your SAN.

    Stick to standards and stay away from the guys that write their own "standards" like Cisco.

  15. Re:probably overheating them on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    Check out the HP 1810 line. It is web only interface :(, but the 8 port and 24 port are fan-less. You can monitor and manage via snmp and they have a robust feature set, nice price point, and lifetime warranty. I have an old 1800 24 port that has a fan, but I removed it and have had no ill effects.

  16. Re:probably overheating them on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    The problem with high-end network equipment IMHO, is the noise. They assume you are putting it in a data center where noise is not an issue. In a home, fan noise from enterprise equipment is way too loud. I recommend embedded x86 alix running pfsense (netgate.com), or something from ubiquiti or mikrotik. All this equipment is fan-less so there will be no noise problems.

  17. Re:DD-WRT on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Level Network Devices For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    For Pfsense, you need an embedded x86 router. You can't just put it on an old router. I would recommend purchasing an Alix kit for pfsense. You will never go back.

    Well, it's your society's threat of force that keeps squatters from moving onto fallow land, gives you free access to interstate trade, and basically underlines all contract law and property ownership.

    You know, Unions set their rules based on their members. If their members value working with the best, they will retain appropriately.
