    Do Ubiquity Unifi Systems require a dedicated box?

    After reading through many threads on Ubqiuity's gear here, do you actually have to keep a dedicated box running to manage these AP's? Or is it just an initial setup? I'm looking specifically at the Ubiquiti UniFi AP Enterprise WiFi Systems.

    Recommendations on family filter?

    I can set openDNS at the router level... that sounds great. Is there a way to prevent access even if local machines change their DNS?

    Recommendations on family filter?

    I would like to setup some sort of filtering system at the router level for my home that's not overly bloated and is geared a bit more toward the technical. I don't mind cost as much as I do a thorough implementation. It would simply filter out adult content. Any recommendations?

    Doing Work via 3G Tethering...Possible?

    In Chicago, I use my Moto Droid 2's hotspot (Verizon's 3G) on the train. I consistently get somewhere between 400-800kbps down and up. If you know your bits and bytes, this translates to a download speed roughly around 100 kilobytes per second. It's really not bad. The only deal-breaker...

    Which device to tuck behind a wall mounted display?

    True that -- At this point I'm leaning mostly toward the Logitech Revue (Google TV box), which has Chrome built in. $100 each seems a good price point.

    Which device to tuck behind a wall mounted display?

    Is this more cost effective than 6 apple tv's $600 + $150 peripherals? - Box, psu, mobo, cpu, 2 graphic cards, 6 long dvi cables, hard drive, memory From a birds eye view, that looks to be about $800-1000 if I build all of it. Ordering a system with these specs would likely cost more...

    (SOLVED) Macbook Pro Memory Mystery

    Ultimately this is just another compatible memory question, but this one has got me stumped because of a lack of specificity. I'm looking at the newest refresh of Macbook 15" i7's (2.2 and 2.3ghz). Apple's site doesn't really say exactly which i7 is inside the Macbook, but naive deduction...

    Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe with Phenom X4 9950 best option?

    Ok thanks for the input... I've been searching about, and I think I'm going to go with the Phenom X4 9850 (125W version). It looks like people are having trouble with the 140W versions of both the 9950 and 9850, however they have been successful with this proc with 1502 BIOS. And newegg still...

    Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe with Phenom X4 9950 best option?

    I currently have the AMD 64 X2 6000+ and I've been looking through the list of "supported processors," but I'm hesitant, because I don't want to have to do some crazy mod after buying a new proc. Is the AMD Phenom X4 9950 the best option on this list...

    HD fraud?

    I was recently married and we paid quite a bit extra to have the wedding filmed in HD. However, I have a hunch that they filmed it in standard definition, then upconverted it before burning it to blu ray (I've seen quite a bit of HD and this doesn't quite seem as sharp). Is there any way...

    AC adapter for my ext HDD fried

    The exact same situation hasn't happened to me... but sometimes if you buy a cheap enclosure and leave the hard drive running for long amounts of time, a heat problem is created and can cause some damage. Also, cheaper built-in power supply's are usually not able to accommodate to the varying...

    nvidia driver issue

    well... I don't think the problem is with your monitor... are you able to get windows to boot and see the screen? If you can't boot normally, boot in safe mode and roll back the drivers. Are you running on SP2?
