    Neo Tokyo (half-life 2 MOD )

    According to Glasseater and a few other developers the steam greenlight is almost complete. Documents need to be signed by both parties and we should have it very soon! I'm hoping that we get many new players to the NT community!

    High Availability on ASA 5505 - user experience?

    Does anyone have experience provisioning a HA setup on two ASA 5505? I'm not sure of what an expected turn around time would be for this since I'm unfamiliar with setting one up. I understand the concept, but the execution is questionable for me. Additionally, I'l have to upgrade to the...

    Java Zero Day Flaw Puts Millions of Users at Risk

    I was going to say, Microsoft is pushing SCCM and Intune to do 3rd party pushes. I'd go with SCCM regardless of seat size because I was quoted for ~$10 per seat per month for Intune....um, hell no :)

    Java Zero Day Flaw Puts Millions of Users at Risk

    WSUS is your friend for MS updates, friend. I agree with you about Oracle and Java products. They're lousy and updating them is a chore since they're automatic update function doesn't work. If we didn't have to have Java in use for some soft-phone software here at work I'd cut it out completely.

    VLANs for call center - thoughts?

    So tagging the traffic is what it boils down to - noted. I'm still not clear on the specifics of VLAN planning and execution. So do I need to give a count of host, then re-subnet away from my /22 network to accommodate - then create a VLAN on the switch with that new subnet IP information...

    VLANs for call center - thoughts?

    Hi all, I'm currently in the planning phase for VLAN rollout sometime in late Fall or Winter. Our environment is a call center and as such we have many computers and many phones. We also share floorspace with another company which I will setup on it's own VLAN. My issue comes during the...

    Carmack apologizes to PC gamers about Rage

    What games are you guys playing to make RAGE look like ass? Besides from the muddy textures up close, I can't think of anything outside of BF3 and Witcher 2; all being arguably better.

    Carmack apologizes to PC gamers about Rage

    All these trolls and naive people are quite funny. Why does the world owe you so much? He's clearly manning up, swallowing his pride to apologize as the head of technology (not even a PR guy) and all you do is bellyache about it. We won't debate how good RAGE was as an experience, but we all...

    Time for new monitor or stick with my NEC 20wmgx2?

    Thanks Medion for the detailed response.

    Time for new monitor or stick with my NEC 20wmgx2?

    Well, I'd prefer to go maybe 2-4 inches bigger. Additionally, this monitor is highly reflective, so it does not help with eye strain. Moving to a matte would be my preference. Improved contrast ratio and color gamut would be a plus too. I've heard both pros and cons to higher response time...

    Time for new monitor or stick with my NEC 20wmgx2?

    I've been out of the loop on monitors for quite a while. I've been an NEC fan for nearly two decades, and my NEC 20wmgx2 continues to serve me well. Unfortunately, I have the new purchase itch. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/nec-multisync-20wmgx2-lcd/4505-3174_7-31627974.html I'm...

    Java/Flash Acrobat update alert?

    I'm not aware of one. Currently I've been trying to find a solution to automatic updates for said software packages without spending a ton of money on a deployment appliance. Generally, I know when a new pack hits just from my own machine pop-ups. I'm sure there are some sort of...

    How would you route two separate server rooms (switches)?

    I've already spoken to our switch vendor, Brocade, whom confirmed that they already load balance by default.
