    Bought a pre...

    I don't own a pre, but I've played with the demo models every chance I get. Read every english review, every video review.... I can't wait until I have the money to upgrade to something from my Centro. It's down between the Pre, or the Sprint-spec HTC Hero (if one of them has a working flash for...

    Breaking into the industry...

    Currently, I'm in the greater Detroit area, but my fiance' and I are looking to move to either Gainesville, FL or Santa Rosa, CA. I've been looking at jobs in the Gainesvill/Ocala/Jacksonville area as well as the North-Bay Area and into San Francisco.

    Breaking into the industry...

    I wasn't sure if this should be in the Resume Thread or not, so I started a separate thread. If any mod or admin sees this as wrong, I'm sorry and would appreciate the move. Now on with the topic. I've been aiming high at a job as a UNIX/Linux Net/Sys-Admin position, but this is my goal. I'm...

    New phone..... With 3.5mm jack

    I've used the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapters, and I wasn't very happy. They sound good and all, but after a few months of normal use, the adapter is starting to short out. I used to wear them at work for at least 4 hours a night. It was from Smartphone Accessories. I loaded my favorite VBR MP3s and...

    Some career advice?

    Cisco certs usually look way better than any Whatever+ exams because they're much more indepth. Someone who just got their Network+ will probably know basic TCP/IP networking, while a CCNA will have a much deeper knowledge of the same subject, as well as some basic troubleshooting and...

    First experience with DD-WRT

    The house I live really seems to kill wireless signals. I never had a problem using wireless in other places, but just going upstairs one floor seems to make my signal unreliable. I had a D-Link WBR-2310 54G router as my main unit, with a Trendnet 54G wireless NIC on my desktop. I had my...

    Palm Pre Release

    Freakyhair, I'm pretty sure it comes with a MicroSD slot just like some of their past devices. As far as playing Internet radio in the background, I can do with with Ptunes on my Centro. It sucks battery life like an SUV sucks up 87 octane though. I'm really excited to see what Palm does with...

    Post your "rate my cables" here

    Ozzy, it doesn't look bad, but from those shots, it's kind of hard to judge. Could you get any other angles of your rig? It looks nice BTW.

    Finally looking to go liquid...

    I'm not ignoring. If I was ignoring your advice, I wouldn't be posting with more questions asking. I'd just go with my original plan. I really do appreciate the advice. Ok, so my free BiX rad won't work with a quiet fan. How exactly do I know how large of a radiator to get? After really...

    Finally looking to go liquid...

    I appreciate all the advice, but I'm still a bit confused on the radiator thing. I understand that the BiX is more restrictive and not great for a quiet fan. But after doing some math, and a bit of research into watts/BTUs and TDP, here's what I've got. My E8400 has a TDP rating of 65w, and my...

    Finally looking to go liquid...

    I'm sure the MCR320 is nice, but I also mentioned that I won't cut the case and I want to keep everything internal. The reason I chose that rad... well, I didn't. A friend is giving me one for free. I could add a second, but even that would require some rigging. Also, the BiX rads are dual-pass...

    Finally looking to go liquid...

    I've always had a fascination with PC cooling, and water cooling in particular, but have always said I'd wait until I had the money to throw together a real nice setup. Well, that day is coming sooner than I thought. I'm not endless on cash, so I'm keeping money in priority, but it's not THE...

    Silence please!

    I don't watercool, so don't consider me an expert or anything (not that I claim to be one), so I've never used any of the typical Liang D5 or DDC, or the Eheim pumps that are very popular. However, my girlfriend is a huge fish enthusiast, and I've done other things with pumps (ponds...

    HD4870 cooling dilemma

    Thanks so much Zero82z. You've helped me before a couple times, so I figured you'd be along sooner or later. :) I guess the fans option it is. That's cheaper anyways. I do have a second question regarding the VRMs and RAM cooling. When I installed the Musashi, I never used the included...

    HD4870 cooling dilemma

    I've had my HD4870 1Gb since Christmas. The OEM cooler keeps everything in check, but it was too loud. I bought a Scythe Musashi, which was much quieter, and gave better core temps (RAM and VRM temps stayed the same. I'm trying to make it quieter though. Here are my ideas. The Musashi...

    Recommendation for secure & easy distribution for a promiscuous laptop?

    I've heard about a way to use SSH as a fully encrypted web-proxy. Secure enough? http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/proxy-through-ssh/ There's no reason to distro hop when any Linux or UNIX can do this.

    Network pics thread

    My network is very boring at home. CentOS server in VMWare Server 1.08, a couple desktop machines, and my dual-boot gaming rig. A couple routers, DD-WRT, and VMWare is about as interesting as it gets. I was able to sneak a couple pics of the equipment used to manage the registers in the...

    Ideas for networking project...

    Is it really that simple? I'd like to try that with another VM. Is this possible? Where can I find the kickstart.cfg file of my current install? How did you change it to a PHP file and put it into a MySQL db? Was there any other configuration in setting up the PXE booting to MySQL db? I've...

    CCNA=DONE!!!

    Desto, I've been studying for my CCNA too. Congrats on the pass! Awesome job, man. I was curious, what test prep materials did you use? I've personally been reading Todd Lammle's CCNA Study Guide from Sybex. It's one of the best tech books I've read, hands down. It's informative, easy to...

    Ideas for networking project...

    I was mostly trying to get out of this without having to ask some very noob questions. Since I probably can't run an Apche server, what other uses could I use it for? The only thing I could think of would be a streaming music server with netplayer. I know I can find a use for Postfix and...

    Ideas for networking project...

    I've been tinkering around with my home network on and off for the past year now. I've always used an older PIII rig, usually just doing things like DHCP or file server, but I've also had Apache running on it for a while too. Well, due to space constraints, my server is now a virtual machine...

    I've installed the thing twice, both times using the defaults which look as though they'd work, and both times using the VMware Server 2.0 Users Guide pdf, following the installing instructions in chapter 3 to a Tee. It still won't work. What VMWare Server used to do was just like what...

    Asus Eee Box for a new home server?

    The EeeBox will handle what you want, plus some more any day. The problem is, as others have pointed out, the harddrive. I would use an Atom setup for a home-server, but It would have to be something that I can stick an eSATA card into for an eSATA-connected RAID 5 enclosure with some good...

    Linux Hardware: ATI vs. nVidia

    I've had trouble with both. After going through a graphical install of the Catalyst 9.1 drivers on Debian Lenny, they didn't actually install for some reason. It's not a deal breaker; just annoying. My HD4870 is just as good in Linux as any onboard video now.

    Best Distro to Start/Learn with?

    Ubuntu is a great starter distro. All the basic stuff is easy to get going like Java, Media codecs, Flash, etc... If Ubuntu isn't user-friendly enough, try Mint or PCLinuxOS. If you would like your hand held a bit less, I suggest Debian. Really, your best bet is to dowload all the...

    Let's talk about Network/Systems Administration....

    I've heard this from more and more IT people I talk to. Actually, that is one of the things I was looking for in a job, but I'm not afraid of extra hours. I know that some of the tasks of an admin can't be done while everyone's there trying to use the network, or their client machines. I figured...

    Let's talk about Network/Systems Administration....

    I was just thinking along the same lines earlier when someone was asking if a degree from ITT was good enough for IT. I know that with any IT job, you have to deal with people. I know that as an admin, whether it's discussing present and future policies with upper management, working with a DST...

    ATI HD4830 vs. Geforce 9800GT

    Either one will suit you fine if you're running 1280x1024 resolution. Anything more and you'll benefit from a beefier card like the 4850 vs 9800GTX+ or the HD4870 vs the GTX 260, etc. I've had a few Nvidia cards and a few ATI cards. I haven't had any driver problems really. Some games...
