Good point - while not a blogger per se, benmaller.com is some sports radio guy that must read every major media market newspapers' sports sections daily, or get tons of submissions from readers. His main page is a good aggregation of weird/ deep background sports stories that the nationwide media tends to miss or not cover as in depth (which is natural because it is generally the local beat writers who know most about what is actually going on with the team.
Dude, the problem is that an Ipod is a high tech walkman, which first came out over 20 years ago. At this point, thinking there is some profound social relevance about ipods is crazy.
Precisely what about the x86 architecture impedes it from scaling past 4 cpus? AMD's Opterons, which Intel is aping, each have their own memory bus. That alone should do great things for improving the scalability of x86 systems
Cops do not need to be PC amongst themselves, just like IT jockeys. You have no idea as to what the origin of that name was, as goon may be self depreciating or referring to the protestors. And it isn't surprising that they will have a squad to break up the demonstrators because it is a near certain that there will be violent protestors there.
Why aren't you worried about the inability of antiglobalization protestors to police themselves and stay non violent?
They stopped investing in the community because people thought, for example, luxury taxes were a good idea. The upper class stopped buying boats and the yacht builders in Maine and Massachusetts got wiped out.
Read Ciscos forum, like I said. Look at my postings in the firewall/vpn/security realm. There are few non-Cisco employees there who have a more helpful posting history than me.
If you actually checked out what some CCIE's have to say on Cisco's forum, you might be more inclined to see things my way - when I see CCIEs with reputable posting history on there claiming that they know CCIEs that are/were unemployed, I tend to believe them.
I never belittle anyone looking to get into the industry, but I always want to stress that this is no get rich quick scheme. I always stress avoiding of certification classes - a guy who was an unemployed truck driver before the cert mills will be an unemployed truck driver with a MCSE and CCNA who is $(2-10)k poorer when they are through. If you are going to do it, self study. The only people getting rich are those in the certification business who sell it as a cure-all to your financial woes
Comcast is chopping analog channels because they eat so much bandwidth. 1 analog channel is the space of 4 digital, or 2 HD channels, or some such. THis is a big problem for comcasters who are in massachusetts, as this system was built out with gear that has less total capacity than some of their other states, therefore adding HD channels in MA has required some juggling.
LG is now selling a hd digital cable box + hdtv terrestrial tunel + upconverting 1080i/720p dvd player box for 500ish - jandr is out of them. Don't know if they sell non HD digital cable ones. This one cannot descramble premium channels, but just for basic HDTV cable + HDTV analog tuner + high end dvd player it is a really intriguing device that I stumbled across today
So long as you are running service pack 3 (IIRC) for 5.5, you should be able to properly configure your exchange boxen not to relay. I have run 5.5 boxen for 3+ years without any open relay incidents.
Setting restrictanonymous=1 is almost trivial. "almost trivial" = was trivial in my home, and corporate networks, but just might present problems on yours. Setting restrictanonymous to 2 is much more exciting - IIRC, it is completely unfeasible to do it on servers running Exchange 2k, or active directory boxes E2k will query.
CBS/Viacom has other options - currently, Comcast subscribers cannot get the local HDTV cbs feed rebroadcast because Viacom is shaking down comcast for money/ carriage of other viacom channels/whathaveyou. So, given how few HDTVs have built in tuners, Viacom could just press on the cable/sat companies to require the set top boxes to do things their way.
The point of recording HDTV movie broadcasts is that if they are a fresh HDTV transfer, then they probably have higher visual quality than DVD. But recording edited for content and commercial laden movies off of the broadcast channels is preposterous. Viacom has a whole family of channels they are looking to protect though.
I don't know what you are watching, but Comcast definitely doesn't compress HDTV. The satellite providers might because of their precarious position (they market tons and tons of channels, but also want to cater to the HDTV crowd, and they just don't have enough bandwidth and birds in the sky to keep both camps happy). It sounds like you might be talking about regular digital cable, where some compression artifacts can be seen on some channels. There is not a ton of content out there, and Comcast is only ramping up their operations, but Comcast's broadcasts of Red Sox' home games this year in HD completely blow away the regular feed.
The SUS specs are preposterous - they are for machines with thousands of clients. SUS is really just an IIS web site that serves up a couple megs at a time, so damn near anything ought to be able to do it. If you plan on deploying service packs through it, you might need more horsepower. I do SP's via group policy.
In paragraph one, you say, "One would think that here on Slashdot, News for Nerds, that people would be able to think a little farther than "someone ought to make a law"."
Then in paragraph two, you crow about how using only a cell phone is "doubly helpful since it's already illegal to cold call"
Well, which is it?
One would think that here on Slashdot, News for Nerds, that people could maintain a consistent argument through two paragraphs.
What is your address? I'll hire some local teenagers to blare their stereo outside your house in off hours. Since you are worried about employment, you'll have nothing to complain about.

It provides a ton of value when people cannot install fonts:
Design team: we have standardized on the schlotzky font for all documents. Dear IT, please install schlotzky on all pcs.
ostiguy determines that it is not a standard font on a windows install, and rather something that comes with a 800 bucks a seat design package.
ostiguy to design team: you will need to license the font. here are some links to who appears to own it.
after they realized that it was going to cost real money in the 4 to 5 digit range for 90ish users, they determined mgmt was not likely to go for it.

PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO IPODS/WALKMEN ON SUBWAYS....
...DO NOT TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE ON THE SUBWAY.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....
THERE IS NO COMMUNITY HERE. MOVE ALONG PLEASE.
the fact that nerds talk about them online is no different from any other piece of hardware today.
ostiguy is waiting for a good HDD mp3 playing solution that i can dump digital photos to.

The worst thing that can happen to you by making this public?
That we know that your girlfriend has moved on from golf balls and garden hoses to bigger and better things.

correct, and the WSJ said as much when they reviewed all the big tax packages a week or two ago.
didnt wired have a piece a few years ago abou how Wozniak got 888-888-8888?
PXE is not this. PXE is a network card thing. PE is a windows based installation platform thing that MS cooked up for big customers

Hah.
Every CCNA complains they cannot get a job with it.
So they becomes CCNPs
Event CCNP complains they cannot get a job with it.
So they aspire to become lab rat CCIEs.
There is massive oversupply in these realms. www.cisco.com/go/netpro - is cisco;s own message boards. Read what people say on the certification forums
