    Juniper SRX210H/220H?

    We only deploy 5800's so cant comment on fan noise of the baby srx's. ive used ns208 at home, now have ssg20, they arent even noticeable. my ssg320 testing pair can sometimes be on the annoying side, but i imagine the 210/220 would be quieter than the older 3's.

    The Prices For Cellphone Wiretaps

    I am a systems engineer for one of the named carriers of these systems & the hw/sw costs to be lawfully compliant is not cheap, nor static. We cannot (& dont) profit from these fee's, only recoup our OpEx costs. The law has been around since 94 so now near 20 yrs later people are paying...

    What's with the lights on the 360 controller?

    i think the four quadrant lights represent what controller number you are. if another controller is actively paired the light would be in different quadrant.

    Battlefield 3 is $29.99 on Origin for today only Black Friday

    Has anyone tried to monetize their internet connection?

    charging for a service=supporting your end users. Have fun when they are calling & bugging you about speeds, loss of connectivity, etc, The amount of money you collect isnt probably going to be worth the hassle. And since you have to live around these people, that means you have to be extra...

    Logitech G500 --- Middle Mouse Click Doesn't Register?

    Are you sure its the mouse & not the game? i know some games dont recognize all the buttons by default, so you have to assign key commands to it. I would think though most apps would recognize that button, it has been pretty standard for quite some time now. I just picked the same mouse up...

    Wireless mouse laggy all the sudden

    I had this issue w/ my G7 starting in Dec. After reading online about rf interference, i realized that i bought a new Sprint Epic in late Nov. After diabling the wifi on it, no more issues. Took me about a month to realize the phone sitting about 1-2' from it was the problem.

    This blogger is a regular Inspector Clouseau. I hope he doesnt investigate the US Govt, he may stumble upon massive abuse of taxpayers money. I am pretty sure it is like this for most large companys. I used to work for AT&T & their billing systems were pre MaBell divestiture. Even with...

    I finally got almost all 20 of my Consoles hooked upto 1 tv :)

    Nice collection! Those asking why you would do this have obviously never had the joy of using the Intellivision controller w/ the disc movement that was slow to react, or the Coleco's buttons that never seemed to work. Brings back such good memories.

    F1 2010 coming this September

    How did you get the crew to change to options after starting on primes? I tried that but they put on a 2nd set of primes. i dl'd iracing & think i will end up liking it better in the long run. its going to take much more time, but it looks like the online racing will be more rewarding.

    F1 2010 coming this September

    My 3 cents: Menu system: Typical Codemaster's junk. Not sure if it's because everything is based on consoles, or if Europeans don't own mice. Why cant a pc user make use of the mouse in menu's? The whole "experience" to get in to the game is a waste of time. Just give me a simple menu...
