    Advice/Opinions needed: Rewiring my entire network

    well, here's the deal with VPN: at school i have to do a lot of work that requires me to VPN into my campus to access resources etc. A few of my campus buddies and i are wanting to set up our own private VPN tunnels between each other so we can each share files directly (and securely), think...

    What is the advantage of FTP over HTTP?

    HTTP is made to do text (Hyper-text transport protocol) granted it does all other files as well, but it's main purpose was to get HTML code from one place to another as quickly as possible. Ever notice in your FTP connection options how you can chose to download in binary or ASCII? Ever wonder...

    Sharing broadband connection over phone line

    well, you *should* be able to set up his computer to accept incoming connections, which would allow his modem to talk to a cell phone or whatever, but i'm not sure. A lot of it will depend on his hardware too (most v.90 and v92 modems won't transmit data at 53k, they'll only recieve at that)...

    cisco router question

    legacy? MOre than likely its that. it's not like it's a high bandwidth application, and while RS-232 and DB connectors ain't the greatest, they get teh job done.

    Advice/Opinions needed: Rewiring my entire network

    Current Layout: DSL comes in through Verizon's Westell modem, out over Cat5e to my DLink DI514. It connects via copper to my roommate's PC (the modem and router are in his room since his computer has no wireless). In my room i have a DLink DWL810+ bridge connecting to the router, and copper...

    Powerbook G4

    I wish for a tablet Powerbook. I'm holding off til probably the end of may or mid-june. if no tablet PBs are announced or hinted at, and no new upgrades (such as dual core G4s) etc. are brought up, i'm going to take the plunge and buy a PB. I really, REALLY want a tablet 'book w/dual core...

    Networking our two offices. Have a few questions.

    what kind of hardware is already in place as far as networking gear? if you're willing to invest get a pair of routers that will support VPN tunnels and put one at each location put a firewall behind each one (a cheap Cisco PIX would be my choice but even the cheap ones are still pricy) and...

    VPN Router

    This summer i may be upgrading my el-cheapo DLink router to a higher class router, preferably one that will allow me to remote into it via VPN to access shared folders, etc., on my internet network. I have been looking heavily at some of Netgear's offerings. My current thoughts are to go with...

    Newegg news on Soyo Rebate

    I got all my money from'em. As my previous post stated, my first rebate didn't go through cause i looked at the wrong fine print and that was my fault, not soyos. Overall i'm not considering 4.5 months to be that bad. i've had much worse times from far better companies. The board didn't...

I ended up going through and trying to insert one field at a time, once i saw that it died on the first one i stuck it in quotes and it...

    AV/firewall renew subscription fees

    If you know what you're doing you shoudln't even NEED AV software. I run it mostly as a failsafe. I ran without it for a long time, just ran a firewall, and never got infected. Any i didn't know it at the time, but i just found out recently that when i lived in the dorms here on campus i had...

    Soyo Rebate Update + Phone Numbers to Contact them

    I think this is the biggest problem, its not that people aren't getting their rebates, they're not getting them in a timely manner. Give me one person who's inconvienced and i'll show you an army of people who hate that company. The only reason my second rebate didn't go through is because it...

    JavaServer Pages and SQL (Access)

    None of us like her, we all feel sorry for the prof who actually has to teach it. She is using the old prof's powerpoints, which are filled with horrible code snippets that don't even compile. I love SQL and PHP, it's what i use at eevfd.com, but this JSP stuff is horrendous in comparison, at...

    I'd get AVG Antivirus :-p But i'm cheap and lazy. addy is like www.grisoft.com or something similar. Free software, free updates. for firewalls i use Kerio, but be ready for the most anal experience of your life, 'cause it asks about EVERYTHING. Plus it blocks all javascript, cookies, and...

    Well, the ProductID isn't an Int, its a mixed string of letters and numbers (stupid teachers...) and boolean for the status was giving me even more issues so i gave up and made it a string. guess i'm just gonna have to raise hell in class this week until she gives us a decent explaination of...

    Why is converting a website to .php better???

    Eh, i dont' blame the prof, it's not her class, it's administered by a different woman, whose reviews got so bad that they stopped letting her teach the stuff, but she's still upper-level staff so she gets to administer the courses. my actual prof's hands are tied 'cause she wanted to use PHP...

    Why is converting a website to .php better???

    i loathe JSP. having to suffer through a semester of programming it and it thoroughly sucks. PHP is so much better, things are much simplier. I'm sure you can do more in java, blah blah blah, i don't give a damn. I dislike java even more than i do JSP, think about that since they're both the...

    Used Ghost to copy drive, now having problems

    Ok, redid everything tonight. Used the drive manager in windows to re-partition the drive, last time i just did a quick NTFS format of it. this time i left it a blank partition, no volume name, no drive letter to speak of. THEN i did the clone to it, THEN i shutdown and unplugged the old...

    Used Ghost to copy drive, now having problems

    I did use the CLONE function. Did you not read the problem? The drive letter assigned is wrong, and all the files on teh CLONED drive still point to the old drive. The new drive was J:\ because that is the letter this POS assigned it. My mem reader eats up like 4 drives, the old harddrive...

    Used Ghost to copy drive, now having problems

    I tried using Drive Image 2002 and it wouldn't copy my drive. Error 626 if you're interested. I borrowed a copy of Norton Ghost to do this job and now i have problems. The Drive copied fine, no hitches or errors. I unplugged the power from the old drive, and reworked the IDE cable so...

    Kingston 512MB Elite Pro SD card $30 AR

    Yet another quad monitor / SLI topic

    THat's what i was thinking, i saw an article somewhere using one of Intel's dual PCIe 16x slots, and a pair of different Radeons. One was like an x800 the other an x300 or x600. Totally different setup, but it worked on theirs. The only thing that would stand in teh way that i can see is...

    Yet another quad monitor / SLI topic

    using an SLI capable board, has anybody been able to get quad monitors to work with different chipsets? i.e. plug a 6600GT in the primary slot and a 6200 in the other to get quad DVI outputs? All that hoopla about the cards not being able to run 4 monitors is BS, SLI cards can run quad...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI wont let me boot with SATA drive!

    Millions is probalby a better word, but it's not like they would be expensive. It's Uncle Sam we're talkign about. You're willing to spend trillions on R&D to get a laser defense system but unwilling to drop a few million on a few billion 1" ball bearings and launchers? c'mon :)

    If a nuke were to be intercepted...

    Depends on what range you want to do it. the whole principle of a high altitude nuclear burst to take out a cloud of incoming ICBMs seems to do just as much harm as it does good, and with normal EMPs, you're looking at the same problems you'd face just launching a missle at it, as far as...
