    Will MySpace Ever Make A Comeback?

    I was 'there' when Facebook was new, and exciting, and just for certain universities. I was there when farm ville was a thing that my mum was playing on Facebook. I am not on face book anymore and I am a better person than you. I see the friends I care about, catch up with others by chance and...

    SQL Injection: The Hack That Will Never Go Away

    Ah its good to see an anti-PHP sentiment echoed here; Unreadable, inefficient and riddled with bad practice - welcome to bad language design 101. Blaming developers for SQL injection attacks is like blaming..... developers for IE6 layout issues. Its not the developers fault that the software was...

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    My main beef supporting clients with HP switches is that they only support HP transceivers/DAC - which is utterly daft and anti-competitive.

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    To the above, yeah that's all well and good but unfortunately it's cisco, and cisco treat 'standards' like there own personal proprietary plaything. Much better going with a brand that isn't quite so far up its own backside. Check out the icx Brocade ICX 6450.

    STP/LCAP to switch connections??

    Noisy and hot, it's probably noisy because it's hot. What is your room cooling like? Where are the intake/exhaust on the switch and how do they relate to the room. Is the device on its own, in a rack, sandwiched etc - is there room to breathe. Any switch firmware upgrades?

    What IS a backup

    I have seen that floating around here too and I think they are confusing backup vs archive. It can pretty much be summed up as online(live), nearline(backup) , offline, (archive) differentiated by performance vs availability. For example in a business context, your local drive for live data, a...

    Need 2TB SSD for IO intensive work

    Another random thought, assuming it's the on board controller, what is the disk mode set to in the bios and are you confident it's ahci? If it's a default Ide that may be your issue.

    Crucial m4 to samsung 850 evo

    Since my laptop doesn't have m2 I run 2 x crucial msata ssd and it runs great. The above is paranoid and untrue and not reflective of real world conditions.

    Need 2TB SSD for IO intensive work

    Sorry my bad, I meant write back, not write through. As in, is the drive configured to allow immediate confirmation of writes. Probably an option in Intel RST if memory serves me.

    Need 2TB SSD for IO intensive work

    What file system is the SSD formatted as? Cache write through enabled for maximum throughput? Any recycling bin rubbish going on?

    Need 2TB SSD for IO intensive work

    What OS are you running and is it trim enabled? What is your workflow that is so IO intensive and requires 6TB writes per day per workstation and would a shared storage solution be more suitable?

    Looking at a NAS. Need a couple of questions answered, please

    I know this is an enthusiast forum and all, but man, some of you are getting carried away. OPs pitch sounds like a home user with minimal requirements, not an industrial server blade. OP your original pitch already seems overkill. I run a 2 bay synology at home for the wife and I. Can easily...

    Official World of Warcraft Movie Trailer

    Formulaic trailer that follows the layout of every other crap trailer Hollywood pushes out, including so over used it's not even funny x will y word zooms, crap cliché dialogue and crap CGI footage considered good enough for trailer usage... Whole thing absolute reeks of a movie studio that...

    Chattanooga Offering Internet 10X Faster Than Google Fiber

    What, future proofing is installing cat 6a cable instead of cat 5 but running a 1gbe switch, with the option of adding 10gbe at a later date. This is the equivalent of installing a full blown data network and using it to stream hd episodes of my little pony....

    Windows 10 Upgrade Nags Become More Aggressive

    Don't get me wrong, a great deal of corporate IT is shockingly incompetent and its probably not your fault, it's your shitty managers. So what are you doing to apply the pressure and hold them accountable by moaning at Microsoft?
