In 10 minutes the California senate will approve a measure to spend $10 million to do a feasibility study on electronic license plates. The contract will naturally be awarded to a company controlled by Sen Feinstein's husband.

meh, cat5e is fine for home a fool and his money are soon parted

as long as the switch MTU is bigger than the host's MTU I don't think there would any negative impact from a practical perspective... it would be fun to play with in the lab though and see

It really depends where you are in your career. At some point you just need to weigh the time/cost of getting a new cert and see how it fits into your resume and career plan at large. A handful of entry level certs is good when you are starting out but when you have a lot of experience they...

Well I'm a CCIE but I haven't done any job hunting since I got it so I can't comment on if the ROI is worth it or not yet. Whether you want to go that route or not is up to you really. It's a highly specialized exam that will make you an expert on a lot of skills you will probably never use...

better get on it, I heard they are going to announce a new blueprint soon

Can we sue FedEx and UPS for providing a service to ship stolen goods now too? What could go wrong?

I bought the touch cover and the goofy wedge touch bluetooth mouse as well. I like the touch cover but if I needed to do serious typing I would've gone with the type cover. My rational for the touch was that I wouldn't need to do a lot of text input on the keyboard anyway and it makes a nice...

The modern Lenovos are a far cry from their Thinkpad ancestors though. My Surface Pro feels substantially sturdier than either my mid-range Lenovo or my monstrous corporate Dell laptop. I wouldn't want to drop any of them though.

Dur, you realize that there are different professions right? A professional graphic artist doing commercial grade image manipulation and retouching is not going to do it on a 10in tablet. On the other hand a business IT user who is on the go can easily toss this in a carry-on and not sacrifice...

Deploy the THOUGHT POLICE!!!

when we ran fiber between buildings it was in conduit and was insanely-thick multiple strand cables that were a horrendous pita to pull (disgusting blue lubricant was used) luckily I just spectated lol... buying some cables on monoprice and burying them sounds like an outage waiting to happen
