Hahaha, that's exactly what I do. By the third time the same computer is fubar I make the owner promise not to use IE as a condition to me fixing it again.
Do I care? No. Their crappy 2wire AP's have been dropping my connection for over a year. At least I'm not running fakeap or something.
Wireless access is an arms race. There are many people with the speedbooster G technology that totally causes havoc to normal G users like me. Is that speedbooster technology an official standard? Being a "good neighbor" may gaurantee that you get mediocre connectivity.
Everyone seems to be criticizing people for buying draft wireless equipment. I bought the D-Link RangeBooster N for my home laptop (which never leaves the table) because I was tired of my neighbors G routers constantly dropping my connection.
I've never been happier. The speed is extremely fast, the signal is strong, and best of all my connection never drops. When I get home my SSH sessions are still logged in... that's a first. It's also a great router too with decent QoS.
I'm totally happy to be a beta tester if it means I'm flying solo in the frequency spectrum for a year or so.
ESX is a cash cow and EMC owns VMWare. Until Microsoft gets into the enterprise SAN space I don't think VMWare has too much to worry about since ESX and EMC products are pretty much tied together.
If we take care of the low hanging fruit we can more effectively align with the "business".

Oh well, I'm getting tired of them anyway. Their search engine sucks ass. It gives too many results and 99% of them you don't even give a shit about. It's near impossible to find the data you want anymore.
Huh? I'm not a Google fanboy, but I don't think it's possible to say their search engine sucks. Care to suggest a better one?
I was forced to start submitting status reports to the PHB's, so I added a coversheet to them with the title "Total Project Summary Report". After a week I started referring to them as TPS reports and they were none the wiser. Now everyone seems to refer to them as TPS reports.
I am a huge fan of Burnout 2, but my copy of Burnout 3 for the xbox will not play music during two player race mode.
Does anyone else have this problem? I have googled it to death with no results. It's hard to believe that no one has mentioned it if it's not an isolated problem.
Also, Burnout 3 lacks the arcade style stats and scores after each race. That's a bummer.
This is the exact reason I have consciously decided not to purchase another Ford. Unlike my 1986 Ford Escort which lasted many years, a new Ford would be made obsolete in about 5 years, to the introduction of a new Ford model.
Since I knew I'll end up buying another Ford 5 years later, I've been just taking the bus to Blockbuster where I work, and holding off buying a new car. When I become popular, I'll purchase a car again.
I think your statement is true if you are only referring to plasma and/or LCD displays. I paid $1200 for my HD projection TV and I assure you it is true HD. It accepts 420i, 420p, and 1080i. Also, 1080p is yet not available on consumer sets.
In addition to support RHEL provides long-term release schedules that are appropriate for enterprise environments. Not only that, but they work with software/hardware companies to make sure their drivers and applications work or are certified to work.
My company spends 17k per-cpu for WebLogic licenses. $1500 for a RHEL is nothing considering the fact that WebLogic support will tell us to bug-off if we are not using RHEL.
Also, I haven't tried Whitebox Linux, but I completely recommend CentOS. Whitebox and CentOS are not knockoffs of RHEL. They are distributions based on the source RPM's of RHEL. This means I can have a dev/staging environment that has perfect binary compatibility with my production environment with zero licensing costs.
Search the WebHostingTalk forums for Cpanel vs. DirectAdmin. DirectAdmin is more secure and stable according to most admins. The market leader is Cpanel, but DirectAdmin is starting to make some ground.
Trust me, don't waste your time with opensource control panels, as none of them are up to par. Also, don't even attempt to code your own unless you have a lot of time on your hands.
If you are using putty simply create a dynamic tunnel on 127.0.0.1:1080 and forward it to your remote ssh server. If you are at work and they block http connects you should have the ssh server running on 443. (another advantage or tunneling over 443 is that people expect to see encrypted traffic, so you'll be flying under the radar)
Now in Firefox, Thunderbird, Trillian, whatever... tell it to use a socks proxy on 127.0.0.1:1080.
Before dynamic forwarding you would need to have squid and/or manually forward all of the ports you wanted to connect to.
Directv shut down the HU card about six months ago leaving millions of sat pirates in the cold. Their replacement, a.k.a. the P4/P5 card has been around for two years and afaik there has been no real progress on hacking/reverse-engineering it.
Unlike other pirate industries, the underground sat market is a huge money maker. The rewards are higher for hacking sat technology because you can resell it to friends and associates.
Despite a huge distributed effort, no one has been able to put a dent in Dave's new card.
I have a question I always ask at speeches, and have asked for the last several years. I ask if anyone in the room has ever downloaded or uploaded a movie or TV show in HD quality to or from a P2P network. No one has ever raised their hand. That is in spite of the fact that HDTV has been in the clear, over the air since 1998. EVERY SINGLE SHOW that has ever been broadcast over the air, and continues to be broadcast today, could be picked up and copied by any of quite a few different, now under 200 dollar HD encode/decode cards and then put on the net. It hasn't and won't happen, because shipping around 18gbs per 2 hour movie isn't going to be fast anytime soon. Make the file sizes bigger to accommodate better quality, and forgettaboutit.
This is kind of a silly point to make. Compression ratios will always be ahead of broadcast standards. I download HD divx and xvid rips of tv shows all the time. You could debate that it's not true HD, but they look much better than my progressive scan DVD's.
that's not funny. i have nightmares about this happening all the time. if there was a nuclear war i'm pretty sure it would be difficult to get a new pair of gas permeable hard contacts.
I've had really good luck with dice.com. My last for jobs have been through dice. The most recent about six months ago.
Recruiters/Headhunters are not all bad. They don't care about you, that is true. Regarding contract-to-hire jobs, I have found that many recruiters want to get you hired at the highest hourly wage so their cut goes up. That is good for you and the recruiter.
I have a 1 pixel transparent gif link at the very top of my page that links to/guestbook/jackhole. In my robots.txt file I have "User-agent: * Disallow:/jackhole/ Disallow:/jackhole/guestbook/". When a harvester traverses this link their IP is added to a text file via a php script that I wrote and they immediately get a 403 page.
Each page of my site checks against this text file so the mailbot gets a 403 page for almost all pages/sites that I host. To deal with false positives there is a mailto link on the 403 page that goes to a TMDA address. At the very least it saves me bandwidth.
I don't think he was being pretentious at all. He was explaining the joys of using Linux to play media files which I can agree with. If his friends can't play a media file that is definitely not his fault.
It is also his right to gloat about being able to play any file in the universe because compiling MPlayer can be a task for Linux newbies. The fact that he is telling his friends about Linux is good for Linux adoption.

Firefox adblock plugin.
Why do so many people continue to only use Squid/SSH for proxying when it is not required anymore? SSH supports dynamic port forwarding.
SSH basically includes a builtin socks proxy. Download putty and create a dynamic port on locahost:1080 and say goodbye squid.
Of course there are still advantages to having a local squid proxy, but in most cases it's not worth the effort anymore.
