  1. I don't always change my password.... on It's World Password Day: Change Your Passwords · · Score: 1
  2. 42U - Go Big or Go Home on Ask Slashdot: Building A Server Rack Into a New Home? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why mess around with wall-mount brackets? You'll be cramped for depth when you want to throw in a real PoE switch, or some other gear you're not thinking about now. They also have swing-out racks that you can open the front and back from (as there are hinges on one of the back sides), but you'll pay quite a bit for these. I believe they are somewhere in the realm of $300-350 when we buy them for clients. Personally - I like lots of space, because you never know when you'll want to end up building a home theatre or adding another server, and centralizing all the gear where it should be - the server room. I have 42U 4-post black open frame rack (from a common manufacturer), that I picked up off Craigslist for $150 (normally $400 new)...and put it in a closet I converted into a server room. Put down a new floor, and raised the floor a couple inches where the server rack goes (no underfloor cooling unfortunately). Two dedicated 20A 110V circuits, two 1500VA batteries w/ mgmt cards, two 15A PDUs. CAT6 patch panel in the rack, also have a 2x2 wallboard with 66 block for CAT3 termination. No 6509 yet ;)

  3. Journalists and Math on Angry Birds Downloads Pass Half-Billion Mark · · Score: 1

    How many commas are in a "Half-Billion"? I think there's more than one...maybe we should ask the pigs.

  4. Re:Welp on Sony Running Unpatched Servers With No Firewall · · Score: 1

    Any "good" IT tech would not leave a unpatched HTTP server without a firewall up to the internet. Linux noobs you make us look bad, go back to using Windows.

  6. Gopher or WAIS? on iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK · · Score: 2

    I haven't seen an iPhone with Gopher or WAIS yet. Until I can access these critical parts of the Internet, I cannot use the iPhone.

    Too bad they have a typo in their new marketing piece...

  8. Large, Cost Effective RAID Array on Home Network Data Storage Device · · Score: 1

    While it's certainly not low budget, I still saved a bundle by not going with an enterprise class solution. I have a little money to burn so here's what I got:

    10x 200GB Seagate SATA 7200.7 Barracudas (RAID 50)
    2x SuperMicro 5-Drive Hot Swap SATA Backplanes
    2x 80GB Seagate SATA 7200.7 Barracudas (RAID 1 for OS)
    Adaptec 21610SA 16-Port RAID Controller

    I use FC4 Samba and NFS for shares to clients.

  11. Re:Easy. on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    I don't know what you mean by:

    There are no (well, WERE no) video cards capable of doing that in the typical office.

    I have an X800XT at my desktop at work with my 20" and 15" flat panels

  12. Re:Do we have to list every cities? on Oakland County to go Wireless · · Score: 1

    It should be noted that this is a COUNTY-wide project, meaning 910-square miles. That is much larger than any city going wireless. Next time RTFA.

  13. Re:But is it "Mission-Critical"? on Lexus Computers Infected Via Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    your last comment is axiomatically a non-sequitur (please note my spelling correction.) There is in fact a perfectly logical connection with insecurity/viruses and Microsoft-related products, so please don't be negligently subversive with your statements.

  14. BSODed on me in SETUP on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 1

    This OS is trash...I tried the 64-bit version, however it BSODed before it even got to picking the hard drive. And yes, I had the right drivers - and not like the hardware was uncommon either (NF3,A64, SATA) Fedora Core 3 installed without a hitch.

  15. It looks like a$$ on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 1

    That thing looks like a pregnancy tester... but with 5MB of music it might make it even more fun....

    I would follow the recommendation of our friends at thebroken.org and burn your computer from the inside out.
