    Fortinet vs Watchguard WiFi

    Order the Fortinet, so someone has to approve an invoice for FAPs... yes it's childish, but who in their marketing team @Fortigate thought this was a good idea??

    Does this router exist?

    Lower end Fortigate does all this except maybe Port channeling. I don't think the 60WiFi does port channels... Medium range and up units definitely do though

    Even Yahoo Employees Hate Yahoo Mail

    Reading through the comments, you guys really haven't heard the business phrase "Eat your own dog food" ? What that means is you use the products you make, in order to better test it and prove that it's good enough for you to use(eat). Common business term ^^

    Sonicwall WLAN to LAN help

    What stevewm, and usr/home/ said. ICMP is being allowed, but you need to set a rule for traffic to flow back and forth, and open to policies to services ANY.. (allows everything) or pick the services you mentioned (printers, rdp, etc). NAT shouldn't be needed..

    Retailers Are Monitoring Your Return Habits

    IT people -- am I paid fairly?

    Excellent results! It always feels good when you mention something like you did to an employer and you can sense the fear, at least you know you're appreciated ^^ I'll await the official outcome, but do keep in mind that the bonus may be taxed differently compared to wages (no idea what type...

    IT people -- am I paid fairly?

    I think you hit the nail on the head right there! The IT "group" has an issue with communication in general, and can't effectively translate our work into something management can understand. I often see threads on here where "x" IT employee is complaining about "y" uninformed IT manager and...

    IT people -- am I paid fairly?

    You are way underpaid sir! ^^ To the OP, you're only going to get paid as much as what you're willing to ask for. There is always a risk in asking for a raise, but you need to be willing to have a little risk to pursue more pay. Could someone walk right in a fill in your position with no...

    Currently with Verizon/unlimited data/iphone4s ... have free upgrade. iPhone5 or GS3

    Battery life is kind of a wash. both phones should last all day unless you're an extreme power user. I have a Galaxy S3 (rooted, ROM with JB), and i routinely have 40% left at night. I use my phone all day at work, stream Tune-In, Spotify, play games and other things. Typing. If you don't...

    home network VPN

    Arm processor with only 128 MB RAM... Not gonna work. At least go for the x700 if you're going this route. Keep in mind this box will be EXTREMELY loud compared to any other solution :p

    Love google messenger. My college friends and I use it as a chatroom and video hangout all the time ^^ I even used the hangout feature to give them a lil video walk through of a cruise ship I was on. I don't have a facebook account, and definitely don't use Google+ the way you would use...

    Move Pfsense config to a new machine?

    you can add interfaces at any point. Also you may get an interface mismatch on backup-->restore if the name or amount changes in between. You may have to manually set interfaces during the restore. It's still VERY simple!

    His 135i is turbo and as already mentioned, requires premium :p I'd be more concerned about the AWD guzzling that gas, but STi's are so much fun to drive that you don't mind that much. Something about winter + empty parking lot + snow + AWD = ftw

    2' HDMI Cable Only $934.99

    Short cables = Buy w/e HDMI you want, it will either work or not work Long cables or prewires (ran to a location like tv on the fireplace, buried in a theater room, etc) = Buy a good cable, and test the thing before you install it :D HDMI error correction can be iffy at best, and any sort of...

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    Because who doesn't want a Video Card made by a manufacturer that takes its name after Pegasus? Asus has cornered the market on aesthetics, performance, and a general "must have it" desire with consumers through their attention to detail for sometime now (doesn't hurt that their color scheme of...

    Is a Cisco RVS4000 worth $38?

    rvs4000 is a perfectly fine cheap home router with a small gig switch built in... Everyone here is commenting on its wireless version, which I've also used with successful results at houses. As with everything, there are situations where it doesn't work well and I think examples have been given :p

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Trailer

    CS 1.6 was the start of DEATH for CS, it was never the same after that. CS:S is a joke, with every subsequent update slowly taking the skill out of the game. This looks no different... I've played since early Beta's, and i completely stopped playing during Source.. disappointing : /
