I don't buy this. I've price compared generic crap at wal-mart to quality stuff at various local PC stores, and the PC stores always have them beat, usually by a ridiculous amount too.
I'm not sure what Wal-marts probelm is in that department, but at least around here their hardware prices are not good.
They wouldn't, and its not terribly accurate either.
Its almost impossible to set up two movies that would give identical results and know it ahead of time. Its going to depend on the type of movie, the actors involved, etc. Almost ANYTHING could taint this study, a stiff wind could make it null and void. Not to mention the one they didn't set up for download, would be set up for download like it always is anyway, regular pirates would get ahold of it anyway. The only difference would be the average joes who hear about this and go download the other one proving their point.
As someone a year away from entering the IT workforce, and planning on getting some certs this year, its a tough call on what you should do. I want to work small-medium business as system admin/it guy. Preferably a lone wolf.
I'm currently taking a 2 year network engineering program that is based partially around CCNA/CCNP (btw, stats from cisco academy were posted a couple weeks ago, while they have 455k enrolled in CCNA, it only reported 7700 and change enrolled in CCNP).
I've spoken with my coordinator who's done a fair bit of consulting with various businesses in town, as have a couple of my other instructors. They seem to be of two minds, which have been expressed here: 1 - Businesses want certs 2 - some certs are junk 3 - the businesses often want some of the junk certs
I figure if I were to get something like: CCNA, Server+, Security+ this year and after I graduate next year, get CCNP, Linux+ and maybe CWNA I should be in a reasonable position. However, I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to encounter someone who insists I have an A+, when at that point, its obviously beneath me.
I'm not a fan of MS, but I might get the MCSA as most of the material for it will be covered during our course.
At first I wasn't concerned about getting "over-certified", but my coordinator pointed out, some companies might take a negative view of that. I guess that comes down to almost a guessing game. I know I worked to get my certs, but does the company go, "This guy has 9 certifications and very limited experience, did he fake his way through?"
I don't think the problem is with the concept of being certified, its that a lot of the certifications can be gotten by Joe "What's a mouse?" Blow after paying a few bucks for a short intense course, or cramming on some key topcis to pass the exam.
I know we have an instructor from the 2nd year who went down to get his CCIE but failed the practical part. Not because he couldn't complete it, but because he didn't do it exactly how they wanted it. It would be nice to see most certifications modified in some way that you couldn't just memorize ABABABCDAEBBF and slap it on your resume.
One of my classmates went for his CCNA prior to the end of the semester and said he only had 2 very short, very easy questions on the router sim. The rest was all multiple choice. One of my other classmates, is just completely clueless, yet he's survived this far, through 4 semesters, and I have no idea how. The first 2 or 3 weeks of each semester he spends the entire time begging someone to explain concepts from the previous semester to him. Somehow he managed to make it through a practical final, written final and online net academy final without understanding basic concepts like subnetting, our how to set up basic ospf.
I would personally include a practical of some kind in any cert that could handle it, and make it a big part of the mark, something they couldn't just memorize their way through.
So I'm a little unsure on how to proceed with my certs, which ones I should take exactly, and which ones I should avoid entirely (other than network+ and a+) and whats going to make the difference for the kind of job I want to move into when I graduate.
PC gamer is also a business that makes a lot of money from selling ads. There are other magazines and sites that take their crap, but that doesn't mean PC Gamer didn't do the right thing, and it doesn't mean google shouldn't either.
Why not? PC Gamer among a few others refuses to take ads from gold farmers. Why shouldn't google refuse to pay typosquatters, its not like their page is actually of any remote value.
Stephen Page is an incredibly intelligent man, and I don't see him doing this as a publicity stunt. I see him taking this action because its the right thing to do. The cynicism is good though, keeps things balanced.
Microsoft secretly controls 95% of linux. When they drive the entire market share there, they'll start charging for everything, and then go "Hah! See we told you!" The mystery will only be revealed when people start wondering where Bill Gates gets all his money now that Microsoft is defunct.
Obviously because you have to seem to make wild stretches to try and blame something else for the behaviour. All the eratic behaviour occured solely when Linspire was running and ceased once it was killed and the system restarted. The behaviour never presented itself before or after.
Thats pretty hard to try and blame on some random hardware issue. You're trying to blame two different routers for producing identical behaviour and not Linspire which was clearly demonstrating odd network behaviour.
"Click and Run" is honestly not that bad of a deal, and not a bad value for someone who isn't that familiar with Linux.
Remember the target audience. One of the big things that keeps many people away from Linux, including myself in the beginning, was the fact that you couldn't just install stuff as easily as you could with Windows.
Having a bunch of easily accessible pre-built applications that you can access with a single click is a huge plus for many people, and for only $20/year. If you purchase any try and by applications under Windows, thats only a single app.
I admittedly did not have a great experience with this the first time around, but when they release their next big update, I may check it out again and see if it fairs any better. I'd have no problem recommending this to the less-than-literate computer users I know if it shapes up.
I'm not making anything up. It seems TCP Zero window packets are used for error control. From the get-go I noticed that the network icon for Linspire in VMware was extremely active compared to say FC5 or any of the other distros I ran under it. Its obvious that Linspire was for some reason throwing garbage out onto the network which neither of the routers liked. After I restarted I had limited to no connectivity at all. Pages were constantly timing out, yet the laptop I had sitting beside me could access everything fine. I fired up ethereal and the packat count was skyrocketing for a PC that couldn't access anything on the network. Examining them showed hundreds of the packets hitting the machine. From both routers. It would be highly unlikely for both routers to behave in such a manner sine they're not the same model nor do they have the same firmware installed. But you keep Linspire up on that pedastel, I'm sure they appreciate the one fan.
I'm not saying Linspire isn't a good idea, I'm saying it needs some work.
You're comparing apples and oranges. When I install FC5 and run Knoppix and Kanotix and none of them cause a single issue, yet as soon as I install Linspire its a gong show from the beginning, then yes there is a problem with Linspire.
Especially considering Linspire is supposed to be "so easy your grandmother could run it". during the first install, something happened to the CnR application and it failed to initiliaze or update properly. It locked up Linspire before I could even try it. I reinstalled it and this time it updated, but while trying to explore the various software it caused the machine to lock again this time the whole deal. On reboot, I couldn't get any network access on this machine (others were fine) and found that both routers were slamming this PC with endless packets. It required a restart of both routers. That speaks very clearly to a problem with Linspire. Pull your head out of their ass.
When the problem only presents itself for a single time while Linspire is running and the network icon on Vmware is going off like some kind of spastic strobe light, there is clearly a problem with Linspire. Do you have something of value to add, or are you just trolling?
I've seen forums that try to implement ridiculous password requirements. Not anything fancy, your standard web forum for Joe User requires that you have upper and lower case letters, that you include numbers, but the password can neither begin nor end with the number, that the number has to be 8 characters long and prime, if its a Tuesday it won't let you enter your password while wearing blue shorts, and other absolutely pathetic stuff. You're a web forum.. about cheese. Seriously you don't need security this tight.
When I installed it in Vmware before it first crashes, and then locked up the machine, it came up with a page encouraging people to create a user before it even let them have direct access to the root account.
After running it, I was getting absolutely terrible network performance. I ran ethereal and discovered both routers had suddenly begun flooding that PC with a ton of junk packets (TCP Window Zero) that seemed to mostly have to do with error control. I was getting 40-50 packets a second from each router. I never touched the linspire Virtual machine again and never had a problem again. Never had it before either. In the world of troubleshooting that points to a very clear problem with Linspire. Someone needs a clue, and they need to grow a set and stop posting as AC.
Thats awful presumptious of you. Somehow when I've tried 3 or 4 distros in VMware and Linspire is the only one to even remotely have a problem, I'm going to blame Linspire. Not to mention just running it did something awful to my network which required the restarting of my routers. Never had a problem before or since.
I hate this stuff. I often look for cisco stuff on ebay and I find stuff listed as: Dlink - NOT CISCO OR LINKSYS
pure keyword spamming, its against their ToS, but do they do anything? No. Because they make money on it. Ebay has been consumed by its own greed, the sooner people see that and leave it so that its nothing but 20 wholesalers from "Hong Kong, Canada" (I absolutely detest that crap, when I search for North America, I want results from North America) and they can sell their crap to each other.
Ebay was good..for about the first year after it arrived. Its just a life support system for sketchy wholesalers and prima-donna powersellers.
The following is an exchange I had with ebay: Background: We all know power-sellers jack their shipping to cover the cost of them offering stuff at 1 penny. However if you read Ebays ToS this violates it.
I found a seller selling a USB dongle, domestic shipping via USPS (standard air mail, no insurance, etc). After an exchange with ebay, I was told that "Ebay trusts their sellers to set appropriate ship amounts".
Reading their ToS further you discover that its also a violation to list the handling price as a percentage of the final fee. I found several listings by an individual doing just that. I was given the same form letter.
Ebay is junk. They do nothing but protect their power-sellers. Many power-sellers hold feedback hostage. When you feedback like: Joeblow - item recieved broken, did not respond to e-mails, attempted to call, would not speak with me, etc
Powerseller1111 - BAD EBAYER STAY AWAY!!!
you know exactly what happened. If ebay actually cared about the integrity of its system it would institute a double blind feedback system where each user inputs their feedback then its applied when both have inputed and saved it.
It was another nice idea that got ruined by the internet.
That article was crap, and brought up in the last Dell discussion. The reviewer did no real testing of the problem: First issue - Couldn't install the sims 2. Solution? Uncheck the DLA box, no need to uninstall anything. 5 seconds on the Sims 2 BBS would have given that solution
Second issue - Quake 4 wouldn't operate. Solution? Add it to the mcafee allow list and it worked fine. Imagine the state the machines would be in if they were shipped without mcafee preinstalled? I wouldn't exactly call mcafee crap. Consider the average person who purchases a boxed computer. Do you want them receiving one without anti-virus on it?
third issue - I believe it was splinter cell (maybe some other game) froze. It was mysteriously fixed by removing start up applications.
Problem with this - This was hardly done in a proper way. If the game was freezing you should have removed start up applications one at a time to find the cause.
2nd problem - the reviewer seemed more interested in slagging on the system to see if there was a solution for this. For all we know it was locking up for the same reason TS2 failed to install. Maybe they just needed to uncheck the DLA box.
They provide the content. No one is forcing you to look at it, if that person chooses to put ads in their content that is their choice and you can choose to stop reading their journal.
Yes I also have the ipw2200. I was trying to use wpa_supplicant. But I'm having issues configuring it. The wireless works, I can connect to my network at home using wep, no problem. But LEAP is becoming a pain in the neck for me.
No. Should I? I asked you to provide proof for a statement. When someone comes across someone posting information they've never encountered before they'd like a source.
Sims 2 wouldn't install, locking up on the second disc of four This has always been reported on the sims BBS as a problem with Dells DLA which requires the unchecking of a box somewhere on the system, and never required removal of software. Its likely if they removed burning software it would solved that issue, but was unnecessary.
Quake 4 wouldn't initialize after McAfee popped up a question asking to grant access for Quake to access the Internet this would be mcafee's problem, not Dells. Could you imagine what state some of the PCs would be in if they didn't come with some sort of anti-virus? If you read further: We had problems playing the game - McAfee popped up when we tried to play Quake 4. Adding Quake 4 to the allowed programs list in McAfee allowed us to play the game normally. if you want to label mcafee malware you go right ahead.
and Splinter Cell completely froze the systemThey don't really elude to what was going on here, and just vaguely say " Disabling the pre-installed software allowed us to play this game normally.". I don't really take anything of value from a reviewer who doesn't actually investigate what the specific problem was. Just saying "I removed a bunch of this stuff and it worked" doesn't really indicate a problem with that software, especially if you are removing/disabling multiple programs. For all we know this could be the same DLA issue that simply requires the unchecking of a box.
FC4 was my first linux distro and I still use it on my laptop. I spent a great deal of time in the fedora forums and have never ran into any snobbery. However I had to do some things they couldn't help me with. Like getting LEAP authentication to work with my laptop so I could connect to the wireless network at college. I joined a few mailing lists to try and get help. That was 4 months ago. It still doesn't work. Why? Because I tried posting some initial questions and just got crap in response. I tried following the documentation and got most of the way, but it sort of breaks down around LEAP. While they include multiple examples of various other protocols and how to configure them, the only LEAP example includes using another protocol at the same time and its not exactly clear what you have to do to get it to work.
There have been several reviews of Dell gaming machines where some games won't even start because of incompatibilities some games have with Dell's TSR's.
Can you back that up and provide one? I've never once heard of anything remotely like that.
While the system does come with some crap on it, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to remove it if you're so inclined, but I have never heard of a single issue with software failing to run because of a "Dell TSR"
