Yeah, the commercial where he gets the book is hilarious... I would have preferred an O'Reily C++ programming guide. Those things are freaking $59.00 dollars. I would blatantly cast down the "heartfelt" photo book and took the programming guide without any sort of qualms.

We all need to bow our heads and give thanks to nVidia. They have really been troopers ever since last year in getting drivers, support, and updates mobilized for us Linux users. The demand has risen completely in Linux needs. Also, nVidia backs OpenGL more than they do DirectX right now since...

XFS does a good job, but lord knows what happens if you are compiling something or doing file transfers if you lose power. XFS is a good thing if you have proper power management, but it is a dangerous monkey without a UPS. My laptop (will no longer) use ReisferFS. ReiserFS, especially 4, is...

Uh, there is more reasons for Linux: Open source software that allows you to compile from source Linux supports every platform available Linux has native support built for whatever you build it for. Linux runs considerably better in terms of stability, security, and performance wise when...

Those are software. Hardware proxies are the real Nazi way of doing things. Hehe, I was actually watching my dad's secretary, a girl a few years older than me (she was 19 and I was 15 at the time), and I enabled her system to have full access to the web the day that we added the new rack of...

Odd... I figured that. I guess I WILL need to call them and the ISP to have this issue resolved at once.

My dad's company has a T1 connection for his local shop here in Oklahoma. That's all he truly needs to do his phone system, vpn, e-mail, ftp, and web hosting for the ten employees for that location. We do it under an ISP called Logix Communcations. They gave us 7 usable static IP numbers for our...

If you are wanting small and simple: Try using a Linux router and integrate the router with Squid Proxy, and configure it to do a transparent HTTP proxy. That will allow for you to gather data, save visited webpages, and log their visitation without having to deal with the tribulations a SOCKS...

I would conclude your parsing software is based out of Linux. Give it's conf file a visit (or wget's) and try telling it how to read (or write) the log's naming.

How many units do you require. Remember the "racking" essentials: tall ain't small and cheap is cheap.

I got to see Williams Communications Tulsa in person. The data center there was spectacular. They had NO exposed cables. It was all completely covered rack units, tubes, and air conditioning vents with white floors and walls throughout the huge room. It was "acoustically sealed" for obvious...

:eek: And your uncle did all that by himself... I can see putting it in by yourself; that isn't too difficult. The time it would be take would be immeasurable though (especially for a business). However, how many does he have to manage it? I know for a fact one man cannot be a...

*just stares* That backup system made me wince. Christ have mercy! That thing is either an IT nightmare or an IT dream...

I am confoozled here... Why in the hell do people put X window manager on their server?! All a server can have is a power cable and an ethernet cord. If you have a problem, then connect the KVM switch to it... It's a major stability and security risk in my opinion.

What is wrong with the original naming scheme? :p

Are you talking about doing seamless linking of displays? Very few displays will let you do that, and most of the time the only ones that are able to be seamless are custom made that way in the first place. If you even think about doing it, then make sure to obtain internal drawings of your...

Cheap NIC cards are usually the culprit. I should know, I bought a laptop with a "free" Mini-PCI Wireless NIC card. I bitch about it everytime I get the chance.

How do you get linux? Do a fire dance, then sacrafice two sheep while you do the Truffle Shuffle. Then Linus Torvalds will award you a pet penguin and then you will need to read the Necromonicon on how to properly get that Penguin from physical form into a Wendingo form where then you can...

Or leave IE7 off completely since it can fuck up your orders on websites! My friend had to call collegeboard.com about an order issue he kept on having. It was concluded that IE7 was his culprit.

I like the one with the black iBook. "I have more RAM with a bigger hard drive..." "I also run faster too!"

Buy a stand too! Please, don't use the stock stand!

Do you have any old rotting computers somewhere in your house? I mean a Pentium 1 is plenty for routing! Just go get it, buy two decent 3com/Intel NIC cards, and load it up with IPCop. Simple!

OSPF is definately nice. It is heck of a lot better when compared to RIP. I have only messed around in lab with OSPF also, but only for a little bit. As for usage, my dad's company isn't even remotely big enough to start requiring that sort of stuff. He will be opening his second location, and...

What do you guys think about the ad campaign Mac has been putting out? Do you think it is really helping the Mac's case any? It seems like it isn't helping it's case whatsoever... They make Macs look like high-style fad garbage for teenagers and housewives, and they are in all consideration...

Does anyone actually use it or make effective use out of it? I am just wondering. It has been the only protocol that I haven't really ever used or messed with in practical routing, and I was wondering if anyone else is just like me. It's obviously useless in most cases, but I was wondering if...

My router dumps a ton of those attacks in my logs. Snort is doing it's job I guess.

Shoo! BSD... Talk about going minimal! I guess you want pure and secure. I need to have my endless functions I get in Gentoo.

I forgot about my twenty dollar rebate from newegg.com! Thanks for reminding me! :D

Contrast: 86 Black level: 5 R Gain: 129 G Gain: 127 B Gain: 131 *get this too* Lamp Level: 0

Get that and buy some simulators... I stole the files off of our student data server at school, do you want the simulators and course guides? :p As for books: http://www.oreilly.com/pub/topic/cisco They are expensive sons of bitches, but they read very easily. I put a couple by my toilet...

Yeah, you will not believe this but I almost managed to afford my own suite of Cisco equipment on a five finger discount. My "friend," the school's cyberpunk, stole some switches and computer equipment from a storage room whenever the school did it's "five year IT cycle." He managed to score...

I am just wondering for statistical reasons. I have Shorewall for simplification of netfilter rules, OpenVPN, BIND DNS, and Squid within the box. It took me about a full week and foodleling and messing around in order to get it properly functioning as a working router, and it was a pain...

Actually, I just finished looking at the "Networking Gallery" and I saw your "datacenter." :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Jesus, that is a lot for your basement, but I guess you use it for training. I only have a wall mounted rack with one old 3com switch and an embedded PC for my router...

Alright, I will believe this bigfish story wholeheartedly. But you get what I mean when I say bigfish story? It just sounds too far-fetched. Sorry if I come off as abrasive as sandpaper, but I have become accustomed slapping liars around. Sorry, I just get bugged by liars really easily...

(back on topic) Yes, it is very beneficial! You might want some Linux/Unix classes so that you can further your abilities as a system/database administrator as well. Linux and Unix are growing rapidly as usable corporate routers. That is what my father's company and two of his associates had...

So your high school buddy started working at age 15? And yes, you are right. The CCIE doesn't have any requirements for the test. I am thinking of the CCNA/CCNP. You are directly required to have a CCNA before you can recieve a CCNP. I will admit that you are right, but I was thinking about...

If you are looking for a networking career and want to make around $50-60k a year at a very young age with little experience, here is how you do it: Get a Masters degree in Computer Science or Mathematics. Get up to your CCNP level certifications. Then get all the other possible...

You know jack shit. You are lying straight out of your ass and I can tell. Buddy, do you know how much it costs to achieve that level of certification. I have known people who have bought $10k worth of equipment, $5k worth of classes, and have failed the test three times. You do not have an "out...

I laugh for two reasons everytime I hear about GEIL: The support is horrible. Their name means "horny" in German.

Yuck!!! Photobucket's compression not only made the photos jaggy, but the color is nastier as well! People, this is not an accurate demonstration of the monitor itself, but it is a good demo of the stand! I need to find a better webhost who will take my RAWs with ease. I will retake these photos...
