Regarding the pfSense random reboots - I've encountered these a few times before. Most of my issues were usually due to some hardware fault or the other (since it was mostly older devices being reused for firewall duties). As it is a pretty good platform (and if you want to give pf a second...

At one point I would've called bull as well, but Gomar is about half right :o. There's a flood of workers from all over the world, particularly parts of Europe and India that makes the general market super competitive. Since they're typically willing to do a ton of work for a lot less. the...

Valnar, I'm sorry to hear about that. Sometimes these things happen and it sucks :(. I recently resigned due to a takeover at my office as well (but, it wasn't a corporate-takeover, more of an idiot-takeover). Being unemployment is a drag but I've started working freelance until something...

I haven't tried out Sublime as yet so I can't give you a preference between those two. Though, from all the recommendations I've seen from devs for Sublime, it seems to be well worth an install to check out thoroughly. Note that my use of these tools is more for hobbies/study than...

I've started using Atom recently (as an upgrade from Notepad++) and it doesn't seem too bad. The Google Analytics option can be disabled by uninstalling the "metrics package": https://atom.io/packages/metrics

+1 Yes, literally - a ménage à quatre. :p My resolutions this year are to: Formally dedicate some time to my backlog of hobbies/DIY projects Take a sabbatical and go somewhere far away from the office.

Death by number puzzles? Count on the Japanese to make suicide such a complex ritual. :p

Jake - Thanks for the feedback. As my network was mostly for internal testing, any thought I gave to setting up a DMZ fell to the wayside. But you're right, it is good practice. I'll give a look into formally setting it up. As for the WAF - ModSecurity is actually included with the stack but...

Hey guys, I've been using an internal Redmine server for quite some time now. It's the stack available from Bitnami running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (on Hyper-V). I've recently thought of making this server accessible to some of my colleagues for use in research projects/collaboration over the...

Stop it! You're making way too much sense. ;) I remember memorizing the Remington manual that my dad had, and being lectured from him on firearm safety - before even being allowed to pick up a cleared weapon... And every time I see an article like this, I understand why.

My thoughts exactly. :D I just find it so disturbing the lengths these agencies go to now. Privacy? Oversight? What do these words mean? :o

A year will go very quickly - and I thankfully only have about two 2003 boxes left. Of course, corporate will probably approve my 2014 upgrade budget in 2018. :rolleyes:

Uh.... Isn't there at least two or three pages of comments before you post something like this Skribbel? :p

Bitcoins are disruptive to the economy? I'm pretty sure that some of these senators probably cause more damage through their blatant incompetence and greed. :o I lol'd. :p

lol. I take it that you don't browse here too often? :o

Did they really need fifty different terms? All you need is three...: Male Female Trap :p Citation needed.

Top Gear? Meh. :p It's because Sundays are when people most likely have free time. And free time is best spent downloading and experimenting with Linux isos, that can easily be obtained through BT. * by Linux isos: I mean some of the most vile pr0n known to mankind.

I sense great potential in this for some serious lols. :p Come over people - it's fun!

13k for a luxury PC that still has the Corsair logo on the front of the case.... and "hand painted fan rings". :o You're right Steve, I haven't laughed this hard about tech in a while. :D

Man, that has to be horrible. From the moment people mention that they have someone already "helping" them - I get irked as well. As for tech questions/problems from all family/friends with the exception of my parents/sibling: "Oh, your computer doesn't work? My rate is $80.00/hr for...

Intel Pentium 4 - 1.5 Intel Xeon - 2.8 [Dual, with HT @ 135W ea = space heater :o] Intel Core2Duo T5550 - 1.83 AMD Athlon 64 x2 TK-55 - 1.8 AMD Athlon II x2 P340 - 2.2 AMD Athlon II X4 630 - 2.8 Intel Core i7 M620 - 2.67 Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 - 1 There was an AMD or Celeron...

This was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the article. :o I'm more concerned about the police's strategy. Cut power to block to stop deletion of data when anyone worth his salt would have a string of UPS units powering their systems? Meh.

How dare you! Not even a mention of WINDOWS PHONE!? :mad: lol. Personally, I tend not to even bother with people who feel the need to selflessly defend a product/corporation until the end. I appreciate their enthusiasm and inevitable e-rage though; which is fun for all parties...

Speak now or forever hold your peace? Nope. ;)

Have you checked out Ecwid as yet? It seems to meet most of your requirements: plug and play, free/cheap, and relatively easy to use/manage. Client can bump up their plan depending on how many features/max inventory they want.

Nearly every air compressor (if we have the same idea of air compressors here :) ) are pretty much noisy as hell. If you had a specialty environment and had a significant volume of workstations to maintain everyday, then maybe you should consider one. If you're in the conventional corporate...

Don't give them any more ideas... please. :p

His odds of winning Megan Fox's heart just improved? ;) Pretty sweet build though. Someone out there, build a sweet Gundam suit please :D I would, but apparently you need time, patience and and er... talent to do it. :o

Now, this is the only term we have for them, since Glasswipe, Glasshat and Glassface all suck. :o Also, this thread is going to be so much win.

It's not really a surprise, after all: EU wants the "internet money" Microsoft has the "internet money" Google wants more market share/may wish to screw over MS for that Scroogled campaign. :p Opera will take anything they get. lol. Sums it up. Posted from a Windows 7 machine using...

This ^^. The concept is pretty neat - one of the applications I can see for this restaurant/lounge mood lighting. A lot more control than a dimmer switch/busboy-on-ladder. :o

^^ I lost it with this one :D Now to deal with the awkward stares from coworkers. :o

For the OP - I'd second this recommendation. If, however, at some point you do find yourself in need of either more niche certification training for courses from ISACA, Oracle, et cetera and your budget supports it; then a CBTNuggets + Safari Books subscription would be ideal.

This x1000. Moments that usually have the line "holy-balls-i-can't-belive-i-just-did-this" (and sometimes the more surprising "Eureka!") being uttered somewhere. Given the circumstances, and the more intriguing yet slightly disturbing "do this or your fired" talk was given to you - I can see...

Actually - there really is a 'SCO' but not mentioned in the vid. I seriously need to invest in one of these BS detectors for the office - mainly as punishment device for using the word "synergy", "out-of-the-box" and "cloud".

I shouldn't have been drinking hot coffee when I read this. Based on your posts Skribbel, I always thought that you'd be more of a Victorious fan. ;)

Fantastic! A new reason to pay a therapist money to help me find the root cause of my problem and work through all the issues that have amassed because of this addiction. :rolleyes: I'm permanently glued to a web-enabled desktop/laptop/mobile phone because it's the difference between getting...

There's extended support until 8th April, 2014. Details here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/lifecycle

FYI: Bruce Willis can save the world; as demonstrated in Die Hard 1 through 4. Interesting piece of research. Also, thanks for taking away the last of my hope, physics students. :(
