    Right now I am looking at the following monitors: Samsung 931C Samsung 204B-SV I originally wanted to get a 20.1" with a native resolution of 1600x1200. I wasn't sure if this would look good or not, so I showed my wife 1600x1200 on my Samsung SyncMaster 955DF. She thought the icons looked...

    OpenSolaris vs. Solaris

    I'll be taking on some new responsibilities at work, one of those are to install/configure/maintain Solaris boxes. I'm not being thrown into this, but the expectation is that I will know enough to take over for the other unix admins in their absence. We use Solaris on Sun hardware at work...

    Will the batteries in my iPod Shuffle go dead faster...

    I have an iPod Shuffle that I got for free from this deal. The earbuds that come with it hurt like hell in my ears (am I the only one?). Right now I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-202's connected. Obviously there is a considerable bigger driver in the HD-202's. My question is how much faster will...

    Anatomy of a well-intentioned Linux Troll

    Link from ubuntuforums.org I thought this was interesting. Not sure of how many people here have seen it, but I did a few searches and nothing came up. I don't think the author meant for this to be flamebait. I also think some of this could be reversed and go for windows as well. The...

    Good asian recipes

    iLO for non HP servers?

    I have used iLO a few times here at work, and it is pretty slick. Does anyone know of a pci card that you can install in a non HP/Compaq server to get the same functionality? I saw that HP sells the cards for ~$300, but they don't *officially* support non HP machines. I wouldn't want to take...
