    Advice about Applied Math

    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...

    Advice about Applied Math

    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.

    Advice about Applied Math

    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.

    Free EAP-TTLS Wireless Client?

    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...

    Company/Enterprise Support Ticket System

    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...

    Company/Enterprise Support Ticket System

    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...

    windows ugly and mac pretty ?!?

    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...

    2 Lan Cables = 2xBandwidth?

    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...

    Anyone else always forget about that plastic lining on new video cards?

    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...)

    Remove All the Extra stuff that OEM's put on comps

    be aware that an OEM (disc from Acer/Dell/HP/etc...) install disc and a retail (what you buy online or from a store) install disc are two very different things. I'm pretty sure that the key from one may not work on the other as they use different algorithms for generating the types of keys.

    Cisco ISR 800 Series GUI?

    I've gotten to the firewall configuration bit like I need, but how do I create an inspect or open the port range? I would prefer an inspect, but I need to be able to use Real Time Streaming Protocol on port 554 (TCP and UDP) and port 8554 (TCP and UDP). right now it's not working at all, and...

    How can I possibly make an image backup of Vista? On DVD.

    a lot of OEMs that are putting their restore utils on hidden partitions often include a utility that you can use to burn CD/DVD recovery disks. check your start menu and see if you've got one. if you can't find it, give Gateway a call or live chat and see if they have a downloadable util that...

    Cisco ISR 800 Series GUI?

    i got the username/pass and everything so I got logged in with Cisco SDM. now I'm confused as to where I need to be in the interface. I'm looking at the Firewall/ACL rules for where I can open a single port, and I think I've gotten that much. What I'm trying to do is allow RealTime Streaming...

    Cisco ISR 800 Series GUI?

    found the SDM software and got it downloaded, but can't connect to the 870 itself. I assume it's because HTTP is probably disabled on it, but I found instructions to enable that and now can't get logged in until I contact a higher-up for the login/pass. Thanks for the help

    no dice. couldn't get the page to load after I downloaded the file it specified for some reason. also edited OP, the firewall is an 870.

    Sick of iTunes, regret buying iPod

    I'm a switcher so going from Winamp + D:\Music\ without any sort of library to a totally automatic iTunes library has been a huge switch for me. I'm getting used to it, but I still don't like how it does some things. For example: where the hell is a Now Playing list? I wish it had that...
