"IT professional to and a consultant for an MSP".. hehe..
And I am, and we don't recommend overpriced Cisco equipment at that. Want quality at a lower price? For switches, stick with HP ProCurve. For small to medium businesses, go with SonicWALL for firewall and other appliance needs.
When you purchase Cisco, it's like buying a Gucci handbag. The quality may be good, but way overpriced in value. No, what you're really buying is the name brand recognition. Marketing at its finest.
Without question, you want to continue using a firewall even with IPv6. It's really about protecting client machines and servers against any exploits in the wild.
Say you've got hundreds of Windows boxes behind a network. Now lets say they're all communicating over IPv6 and your network is the target of DOS exploit, injection, whatever. Worse yet, you're unsure how many and who's machines have already been patched with the latest security updates the previous morning. With a managed firewall capable of deep-packet inspection via subscription based definition updates, you could have it filter out that DOS attack from one central location.
People seem to forget that a firewall is there to provide an extra layer of protection. Concepts such as employee security education, anti-virus suites, and OS patch management are all many different layers that work collectively to ensure that protection is maintained.
Oh that's easy to do. They certainly have the material to make it happen. Now whether or not that dog can remain alive after the radiation is another matter entirely.
Maybe. If you don't plan on paying or shit, why not? OTOH you pay a small fee to opt out of ads, that would be ok too.
When someone offers a "free" service, it's not really free. Almost always there is a hidden catch of some sort. This idea. This mentality that everything in the world should be free with no strings attached is ludicrous. Either you read and accept the TOS, or you don't.
More or less, ya. I expect to be running IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel for another 8 years at the very least. Back in my NT4 / Novell days, we had IPX/SPX running along side IPv4 for quite some time. If history is of any indication, this is just another cyclical repeat of that. Oh, and moving from 32bit to 64bit OS and app support has been other thorn in my side. Transitions always suck. Just part of the IT world we live in.
I'm an IT professional to and a consultant for an MSP.
We're not looking forward to IPv6 for a number of reason. 1. Very few products that support it. 2. The layer switches, routers, and broadband modems that do are only 1st generation. 3. Lack of IPv6 only infrastructure makes reliable VPN access next to impossible. 4. Lack to support knowledge of IPv6 for many in-house IT departments. Admins included. This makes troubleshooting more difficult for lvl1 and some lvl2 support staff.
What will happen in the future however is that ISPs will be forced to NAT consumer accounts and perhaps raise a premium for business accounts that require a public IP4. Scarce resources such as IP4 blocks tend to raise prices. But you know what, we would rather pay extra per month for what we already have until the IPv6 market becomes more mature. As for the whole chicken-egg problem regarding IPv6? Not my problem. What is my concern is reducing overall costs that encompass IP hardware, ISP fees, and support.
I'll be sure to check back in another 3 or 4 years. 2 years is still a little to early in my opinion.
More to the point, how does one clean one of these things? Our lungs are constantly filtering out crap via mucous membrane and cilia to flush it out from the organ. Unless these things are designed to be flushed out with water through some sort of inlet/outlet hose design, I'm afraid they will have to be made external for ease of maintenance.
Yup, and hydrogen would be even worse. You can't retrofit an engine to use the stuff for very long. A process known as hydrogen embrittlement will ruin a standard engine (piston rings, valves, moving parts, scoring of cylinder walls...etc). Though, you could make an ICE to run on hydrogen as long as you're using the proper alloys.
If anyone wants an ICE to be environmentally friendly, bio-diesel is really the best way to go. Power, range, versatility and reliability are hallmarks of diesel.
Technically the Chevy Volt is a hybrid with the option to charge from an outlet too. At least with the Honda Insight, the battery packs are warranted for 157,000 miles or 10 years. Which ever comes first. I'd imagine Toyota is pretty close in reliability if not better. Both are have excellent R&D and engineering behind them.
Now personally, I would never own a pure electric such as the Nissan Leaf which only has a range of 73 miles. While the battery is estimated to hold at least 70% of its charging capacity after 10 years, the range still sucks for anything except urban commutes. Oh, and about that 73 mile range. That's without using AC or heat.
Ya, they have. I've got an older CECHExx series (80GB) that runs pretty hot when playing Blu-ray movies. It can get very loud if I don't open the media cabinet doors all the way as it needs to breathe. However, my brother got a slim model a year or so ago. For sure, it's whisper quite in comparison and runs much cooler.
You're right of course. Throughout human history, the concept of individual freedom and liberty is rather new. It's very easy to see how once put into practice is an exception rather than the rule of civilization. It's quite possible that while America may have dominated for a relatively short period of time, China's reinforced oppressive system may last a few hundred years if not longer. In fact, the Chinese view this current government as just another Dynasty. They come and go, but each one lasts a very long time.
Freedom is only obtained through desperation and self-sacrifice. Only ever-vigilant people can maintain its availability. But make no mistake about it, freedom does erode over time as people are inherently lazy through each passing generation.
PDs generally use them because they get a discount buying them bulk (so I've heard). They're also throw-on-the-ground durable, ease of use, and cheaply mass produced. Basically a good service pistol for the money.
I don't hate Glocks. I simply do not like em. Just my opinion and that of others. Now personally, I prefer a Sig, Beretta, and Ruger. YMMV of course.
Ohh, I suppose they just wanted their intelligent readers to trace the pistol's place of origin back to Austria. The weapon of choice for Neo-Nazi types. Not trying to be insensitive here, but Glocks suck. They have too much slide play in them. Clearly this guy wasn't very intelligent for a number of reasons, this being one of them. In a way, there could have been more casualties had he used any other pistol.
Hey all you gun nuts, calm down. Easy there guys...easy.....keep it pointed down.....there ya go.
First of all, Limbaugh isn't slime, but an American treasure. He's the modern day William F. Buckley. You probably don't like either of them. So be it. But know this, what happened at Oslo or anyplace else for that matter was destined to have happen. These acts were deplorable, gutless, and spineless. We all have the right (philosophically, not all nations apply it legally though) to the freedom of speech, but we don't have the freedom to act on our opinions that would otherwise cause harm to others. However, when one group holding an ideology attempts to subvert another groups ideology, war happens. The travesty you just witnessed is what happens when one group pushes and as a result justifies the other to push back twice as hard. In the eyes of the individual, both feel justified.
Basically, I'm surprised it took this long. Peace is *not* the natural state of humanity. I don't know where anyone got this idea of fantasy from, but it's BS. Humanity has and always will be at war with each other till the end of time.
As Billy Joel would say "We Didn't Start the Fire". However, I say we all continue to fan the flames whether we admit it or not as a group and as individuals.
Continue to fight for what *you* believe is right. Never submit to servitude.
Strictly a thought experiment (sorry, no weed to pass around) but what if there wasn't really a Big Bang after all? What if the universe is constantly expanding as it ever was only time is slowing down exponentially. From our perspective looking back, the expansion of the universe looks like it came from a big bang. Who knows. Maybe in a bajillion years from now looking back, the last 50 billion years of the universe may have only been calculated to have happened in less than a second of their time. Yes, I know that from today the universe has been calculated to be 13.7 billion years old. But it plausible, just how far back in time does the universe *really* go.
It makes sense to have a universal constant. Light is simply a visual and measurable representation of corporeal time. Without time, we wouldn't have consciousness as there would be no movement of matter and energy. In essence, the speed of light acts as a metronome by which to judge all other forms of motion in time.
It's quite possible that time is in fact variable outside the Universe, but we would not know that unless observing outside its influence as C would still = C from our perspective.
Well yes, but if you ever lied about your education and got caught in the process (via promotion review or whatnot), your ass would be shown the door. Despite the HR and the person hiring you going "meh", you made the right choice pursuing your education.
IT consultant here. My job is primarily tasked as a junior sysadmin providing lvl3 server/desktop support for our managed clients. As of a few years go, I'm running into recent grads with an official job title as lvl2 support. They're work experience ranks in at either retail or some Geek Squad level. But you know what's really chaps my hide. They get paid 1/3rd more than I do and crank on MY phone at every hour of the day. The whole God Damn system is broke. Fuck this, I'm going to get a masters so I too can slack-off with minimal knowledge and effort at a fortune 500 company. That's what America has taught me.
You want to then put a few hundred tons of turbine equipment on top of this tower
Wha!? Hold on there cowboy. The turbines are at the base of the tower, not at the top. And for good reason too. More surface area and ease of maintenance. For what basically is a flue doesn't require much maintenance other than changing out the lights and an occasional anti-corrosive paint job.

Ya, you can thank Saul Alinsky for that bit of advice.

I'm sure Rainbow Bright will make a comeback too. Sorry man. When it rains, it pours. :(
I've come to accept the fact that just about anything can be found on the internet if you search long enough. *shrug*

You mean something like this?
It's a KE weapon to be used by some nation.
I'm sorry, you lost part of your city to an asteroid?! Damn, what are the odds of that happening. Nature sure does suck doesn't it.
