Code seems to be dead. :(

Well, PC digital download is back to $60. "PC" (I'm assuming DVD version) is $40.

Seems to be back to the usual $60ish price now.

I'm looking at getting a new laptop here shortly & the deciding factor may very well be the video card. I'm look at a couple of business class systems compared to some gamer systems. How does the Quadro 2000m compare to a GeForce 540m/560m/570m in terms of gaming (Video shouldn't be taxed...

It's hard to beat the flexibility of the 6500 series. Just upgrade line cards or sup engines if needed. Staying with a given vendor (Cisco) means you'll have more spare parts laying about in case of problems. In the 6500 league though it's usually important enough to have the $$$ 4 hour...

I run a disk to disk to tape scenario in my environment. Primary NetApp mirrors to secondary NetApp. Backup software dumps to secondary NetApp. Once a month we backup the secondary NetApp to tape for long term archival. Tape is just to slow & expensive ($50+ for a cartridge). Depending on your...

Personally I think most of the CBT (Computer Based Training) stuff is over priced. But then again I study well by just reading paper books to study with.

It's pretty dam shady & I hope Cisco exec or those involved get prosecuted.

Unless you really need an add in card for some reason, stick with the on-board. Avoid the Creative Labs cards especially. They use to kick ass, but the drivers are just so bloated & painful to use these days. Creative Labs & SoundBlaster's glory days are long gone.

U.S. Carriers suck. Takes them FOREVER to get around to getting any interesting phones out, months after the rest of the world... I guess it takes them that long to properly install all the bloatware on them.

I'm looking at getting a Silverstone GD04 or 05, possibly a LC series.

It only remains to be seen if it lives up to over a decade of hype.

It's just another grab for $$$ without producing much more content.

I'm pretty happy with my new Asus Transformer.... $400, but I consider it significantly better than the Nook or ViewSonic options, which are about the only decent name brand ones under $300.

Personally I have a HUGE roll of Velcro strap. You can use small dry wall screws or what not to attach it to tables, or just leave it unattached depending on your needs.
