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

That's moronic considering many employers including the government require certain certifications to be maintained for security and contract compliance. A+ and Sec+ are pretty ubiquitous because of that.

You can say this about any product ever released. There is always something new on the horizon, always. Having used a Surface Pro everyday since it was released I would hardly characterize it as "beta" quality.

Anything you create, think, or otherwise author while inside the perimeter of said store becomes the irrevocable property of Google. When the owners of Google decide to buy a sports team that's when you know it's time to dump the stock.

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

Considering the average laptop HDDs are slow as hell too I don't think your argument makes any sense. Maybe your $10 el-cheapo USB drive is slow but a Corsair Voyager GT has plenty of performance for even the largest file transfers.

"rye" lol, why can't we edit here?

ah, the old "it's for the children" argument... Conveniently can be used to justify restricting anything deemed undesirable. Can we have a nice heart-warming book-burning afterwards too? Buh-bye 50 Shades 'cause "porn", Harry Potter 'cause "witchcraft", Catcher in the Ryan 'cause "drinking...

You have heard of USB storage right? If you can afford a Surface Pro, a fat USB key is probably something you already own several of. I have 3 on the desk in front of me including one large capacity high-performance USB3 device for transferring image files for work and such.

Remove the recovery partition and you get a large chunk of space back... plus you can always rip out anything else that you don't want on it or do a clean install if you're anal. If space was a concern, buy a 128MB version. I don't see how this is any different than any other SSD ultrabook...

I don't get the disk space concerns either... who needs 500GB on a tablet? How much crap do you really need to carry around at one time after all in the age of the "cloud".

Well I actually own a Surface Pro and the reviews are right on. It's fast, heavy-ish, and battery life is about as good as an average laptop. It does get warm but not even close to what I would consider even slightly hot and the fans are silent as far as I can tell. The stylus is awesome, the...

Well, Surface Pro was sold out already at every store I called in my area... was sold out online in about 45 minutes at the MS store (but it appears the 64GB model is now available again, it was sold out for a while). Clearly this is device is going to be a total failure and missed the mark...

Reading from left to right you have: 1. tablet for pr0n use only (notice we can't see what's playing on it) 2. gov't issued tablet (billed out at >$9k) 3. personal tablet (for distracting people with pictures of kids in permanent slideshow) 4. gov't issued phone (billed out at >$9k as...

kits are overpriced crap, build your own lab and save money even better use GNS3 to simulate the routers and just buy a few switches on ebay

you can make just as much money in either field... it's just a "grass is always greener" situation really... entry level people make entry level wages, that's just how it goes... even with tons of certs and no experience you are still entry level because you lack experience (not necessarily...

I hope you didn't point that into your eye lol... The short range stuff probably won't hurt you (much) but the long-range stuff could probably blind you if you were using the wrong transceiver.

yes, this command is disruptive... do it in a maintenance window

2960G-8TC-L is fanless

good luck finding a disk drive for a hundred million year old floppy...

Cisco ACE4710s but we're transitioning to F5 LTMs as well.

first world problems...

the first and only tablet that I'm actually excited to see arrive...

you're underpaid unless you live in Bolivia or something...

buying cheap crap that will break is called "false economy"... feel free to google it if you aren't familiar with the concept

G4 was weak... TechTV was good fun back in the day.

Just get a ProCurve... any of that other crap will break in 12-18months and you'll wind up spending more replacing it down the road.

AIP-SSC-5 is for the ASA 5505 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/product_bulletin_c25-528621_ps6120_Products_Bulletin.html

IT'S A TRAP!

ITT: autism Anyway, I hate crap like this... storing crap in "the cloud" is just annoying. Might as well just replace "cloud" with "botnet".
