    How many of you still keep paper maps in your vehicle?

    Between navigation systems, portable units, smart phones, tablets, etc obviously this is obsolete in a way but I still keep them handy in my car. No power required.

    Hey alll, Im curious how much cost do you typically see per run end to end for patch panelling? I received a quote for 35k for a total of 192 cable runs between 2 sets of 4x 48-port panels that i thought was kind of high. There are existing ladders on the top of each row and the panels would...

    core switch placement on rack

    If you are restricted to middle of row and you have cores that are front to back cooling, do you mount them front or rear? I'm stuck in a dilemma with 6509-V-E switches where originally I was going to place them switchport side facing rear/warm aisle because all the patch panels and server ports...

    Core switches - anyone used/using Brocade's MLX??

    Never used any of the Foundry stuff but have worked on brocade fcoe switches so no real experience on their core/access/distribution layer stuff. Has anyone deployed or used their MLX series? We're rapidly outgrowing the 6509-Es we have and am looking to replace them.

    Reassigned public IP address space

    Hey all, two questions: My company's public address space (its a /24) shows as reassigned on whois but the parent /16 belongs to my provider and it states addresses are non portable. Im assuming this means that the /24 still belongs to them, correct? Even if it says it was reassigned? Secondly...

    Going to be using SSD drives for my OS/Gaming, z68 mobo pointless?

    I'm building a new i5/2500K gaming/work rig that will have 128Gb SSD drives (one for OS/heavily used apps, the other Gaming/maybe other apps) and a 1TB HDD drive for data and not used as much apps. If what I'm reading is correct I don't need the SSD caching featured on the z68s since I have mid...

    anyone here used Untangle for IDS/IPS?

    thoughts on it? I'm currently evaluating Breach Data re-branded to Trustwave Webdefend and eliminated Sourcefire (too much admin overhead), the Cisco ASA modules (production impacting slowness). Would like to hear other opinions.

    Your thoughts on this

    Let's say you are in a situation where someone helped out your folks in some way (assisted with medical bills, paid a debt, random stuff beyond your control). As a son or daughter, do you feel an obligation that you'll help out this person in return when he asks for it? It could be something...

    VPN traffic across an ASA/PIX

    If your VPN hub (router/concentrator/what have you) is sitting behind a firewall do you need to configure ACLs to permit LAN traffic thats encapsulated in the tunnel (say standard site to site tunnels using ipsec or gre tunnels/ipsec) or is the firewall only going to see just the actual tunnel...

    I will never understand these people

    People who talk on their cell phones while taking a dump. If you're being discrete about it I guess it's fine but when it sounds like you or your neighbor is detonating charges in the restroom stalls it might be time to hang up and carry on the conversation later!

    So how do you grip your steering wheel?

    The other day I noticed this one driver in the next car over who had his body turned completely over to his right, resting on his side as if he wanted to spoon the stick shift. One hand on the wheel the other with his phone alternating between talking into it and putting it back near his ear. I...

    Not a good start to the morning

    I was in mid conversation with a co-worker and didn't realize as I walked into the revolving doors there was a guy inside cleaning. Needless to say I slammed the door into him. Don't they usually put stops to the door so dumbasses like me don't hit him?

    Droid X owners - cases, covers

    Hi all, What holster/case did you purchase (if you bought one) for your Droid X? And did you also add a back cover for it? The Verizon one I purchased added more bulk than I like and the case seems a bit flimsy. Any recommendations? Thanks.

    How do you guys handle remote client site to redundant VPN server

    To give you a visual of my current setup, I have two VPN routers, one in each data center.

    CEL oddity

    A week ago the CEL came on my Ford Focus (2000, V4, 2.0L). Using the code reader it showed as a P0171 error (system too lean). After some research it recommended cleaning out the MAF sensor and if that didn't work replace it completely. It also checked to make sure there weren't any vacuum leaks...

    Anyone here used or are using Raritan dominions?

    Aside from being stuck with just command line and being pricier, is there any other major difference between using a 2600 router to act as a terminal server or buying a raritan dominion device? it's going to be used to connect up some unix boxes for console access.
