  1. Dynamic VLAN's on What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie? · · Score: 0

    I had heard from a friend that you guys are using some sort of dynamic VLAN's and that one day a server can be doing one job, and the next day will be dynamically assigned to another group of servers doing another job. Is this true? If so can you elaborate on this?

  2. How much power? on U.S. Department of Interior Ordered Offline · · Score: 0

    Of course this judge should have the ability to do this! For gods sake, if it houses critical data and is insecure, get it off the network! This case should give some people a clue and make them think twice about who they hire to administer thier networks.

  3. Call from my cable company on Some People @Home, Some Not @Home · · Score: 0
    I just recieved a recorded call from Charter Communications stating that "The court ordered @home to discontinue service and the network was being disassembled." The message can be heard at (866) 837-3620.

    I have yet to be disconnected, but I talked to my neighboor who lives just down the street, and she said she had no service. Apparently her DNS server had been turned off, I entered in a new DNS server, and it worked fine. Anyway, just waiting for the axe to fall..

  4. Re: Any ideas? on @Home Network Approaching Shutdown · · Score: 0

    I already have a wireless network in the house, but would like to be able to offer some speed. Wireless, in my experience, tends to be pretty slow. I would like to be able to offer a faster solution.

  5. Any ideas? on @Home Network Approaching Shutdown · · Score: 0

    I live in a small community in Oregon, and charter cable is the only available broadband connection. I am considering the possibility of pushing for a neighboorhood area network. I have the resources to bring in a good internet connection, and have most of the hardware required. (lots of 24 port switches, cisco 2600, linux servers, etc). I would prefer to run CAT 5 throughout the neighboorhood, does anyone know what the legal implications of a project like this would be? Where to start? Any ideas are welcome.

    Does anyone else find this funny?

  7. Looking forward to this.. on Invaders from Space! Leonid Showers tonight. · · Score: 0

    I, for one am looking forward to having something to do tonight, other then sitting on the computer. I have my camera set up and the kids will be staying up late tonight. For you parental types this is a great time to stay up with your children, as they will remember it for years to come.

  8. Great Idea on C with Safety - Cyclone · · Score: 0, Redundant
    A very good idea if it can be tested thoroughly, and have all of the bugs worked out of it. I could definately see something like this causing havoc because of several bugs in the compiler itself.

    On a lighter note, prehaps they should just come out with a piece of hardware that will reach out and slap you if you make a stupid mistake.

  9. UPS is terrible.. on How Not To Ship Computers · · Score: 1, Informative

    I too, have had terrible problems with UPS in the past. Not too, long ago, I shipped a nice gaming machine to a friend. When he recieved it the midtower case was cracked, and every PCI card had lodged sideways in the case. The heatsink had even been knocked off of the Elsa Gladiac inside. I had a bad Gladiac at home and attempted to pry the heat sink off of it to see how difficult it would be, and it took quite some effort. I am convinced that the UPS employees had a round of soccer with this box. Or mabey it fell off of a truck going down the freeway. Last week I shipped an ebay item to the buyer COD, and when I tracked it I saw that it had been delivered and dropped off on the front porch! I called UPS and they said "you didn't send it COD!". I was holding the airbill in my hand, with a large check next to the box that said COD, and a dollar amount written next to it. These guys are boneheads. Go Fedex!

  11. Re:Conflict real! on The Phony Conflict:802-11 & His Pal Bluetooth · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just because you don't know how to install hardware in you laptop doesn't mean that there is some great conflict between these technologies. It just means that you don't have any free resources or you need to adjust some settings.

  13. Hmmmmmmmm on XOSL, an alternative to Lilo and Grub · · Score: 1

    One of the beutiful things about Linux, is rarely having to see the boot loader..

  14. My Experience on Can Developers Work in a 'Locked-Down' Environment? · · Score: 1

    I am an administrator of a Windows NT intranet for a small software development company (150 people). Everyone in the company has local admin rights on thier own machine. This occasionally creates a problem, but it is very rare and everyone is pleased. As far as licensing goes, we have a server running an audit program, which is triggered by the users login scripts. So far, so good. I believe that, in general, if you have good people working for you (It is VERY hard to get hired here), this shouldn't be an issue.
