I would start by checking out job boards for job descriptions that match what you think would be interesting. Look at the skills and tasks that employers expect and desire. Begin learning as much as you can about those areas, tools, and job functions in your own time. Electives should be used to...

You can always begin learning outside a formal education. That will put you in a much better place when you're looking for employment after school. I would do both, but knowing what you're truly interested in the key.

Ok... So which of those interests you most? In my experience, I degree is useless unless you know what you're interested in pursuing. Choose a path and begin specializing as those can be wildly different even from a technical/educational perspective.

Check out this link. Boot Camp for Macs 101. All about installing Windows on a Mac.

I'm working on a small project for my employer in which I'm trying to connect to a wireless network using the EAP-TTLS authentication protocol. Due to the nature of this specific group of mobile clients and our wireless network configuration, EAP-TTLS is required. Previously, we used SecureW2...

We were using Heat 8 up until a couple months ago. Maintenance fee was ridiculously expensive, the client is inflexible and not web-based, the mail configuration notification was a little stupid to be frank, and it had some pretty unusable if any at all reporting possibilities. Heat 9 didn't...

I have to disagree with k1pp3r. I really despise Heat, along with everyone else in User Support across the university's campus where I work. We just switched over to Jira by Atlassian. So far it's been awesome. Extremely customizable, easy to use, completely web-based. Definitely worth the time...

I'm looking for an iPhone in very good to new condition. Willing to pay $300 shipped for an 8gb or $400 shipped for a 16gb. I would also be interested in a trade for an 8gb of my Cingular 8525 in very good condition. heatware and ebay under pixel.baker Let me know what you've got...

I don't think anyone else has pointed it out yet, so i will. Appearance wise, OS X is very customizable just like windows, but is somewhat limited in functionality customization. you generally can't change/remove the main elements of the GUI (Dock, menu) but as a general rule everyone I've...

ReactOS?

Ok. I didn't think so and that's all I needed to hear. thanks

I've been imaging about 4 systems at a time here at work using Acronis True Image from a network share on our deploy server. Right now I have 1x100mbit cable running to a 10/100 switch which then has 4x100mbit cables running to each of the client systems being imaged. Would I double my bandwidth...

I'll elaborate a little on felix88's post: Boot Camp: free download from Apple allowing you to partition your hard drive and install Windows XP SP2 (Pro or Home) and dual boot to use windows when you need it Virtual PC: the two dominant virtual PC apps are Parallels and VMware Fusion...

Router: Linksys BEFW11S4 (802.11B) Trouble-causing WiFi Adapter: Linksys WUSB54GC (USB 802.11 B/G) Left WiFi unsecured and the network works great for all clients, including the troubled one. I then add WPA-Personal encryption with a passkey and all clients EXCEPT the one above refuses to...

plastic sticker coverings still on hardware after opening the package without a good reason is just annoying... almost as annoying as those people that leave the "Can your PC do this?!" stickers on their HP Pavilions. (usually these refer to burning a fscking CD for christ's sake...)
