    Started a new job and found out I'm replacing the current Sys Admin

    I've just been thrown into a TSM environment and the current admin will be leaving soon (immigration issues). I'm very new to TSM so I'm a little bit lost and it's like pulling teeth to get any answers on how the current environment is setup -- keep been told to just read the manuals (yeah rtfm...

    In dash navigation systems?

    Looks cool -- 30GB hard drive to rip all your mp3s to, 7" screen etc. But you can get most of that with a cheap $150 - $200 gps system and an Ipod (plus be able to use them anywhere). And in 2 - 3 years your $2000 system is obsolete. Plus what happens when you want to sell the car? Even...

    Thinking of getting a GPS

    I just picked up a lesser known brand called Xroad V4150 from Compusa for $150: Xroad GPS Besides the GPS option (which works well), it can also play avi/xvid videos, mp3s, display pictures and has bluetooth. Might not be as polished as the Garmin units but it does do a good job of...

    Real life Shawshank Redemption

    "Two inmates escaped from a county jail, hiding the holes they made in the walls by putting up photos of bikini-clad women, officials said." Prison Break What the hell!?!?! You would think this would be the oldest escape trick in the book! Someone is going to lose his job over this one!

    Got any bad jokes?

    On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their three sons. Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of the window onto to the pasture, she saw that the family's only cow was lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless to her -- how could she possibly...

    I am a terrorist. (weak rant inside)

    Interviewing for a RedHat Admin position

    Do you know which versions of Redhat they mainly use? RHEL4 or RHEL5? There are a few changes between the two such as RHEL4 uses up2date for package management and RHEL5 uses yum. Typing system-config<tab> will give you a bunch of config options via the gui. Most of what you need to do...

    Changing Careers at 32 any advice?

    That's funny. I got out of engineering at 32 to work in IT! My degree was in Chemical Engineering and at the time I had just finished an MBA in Information Systems. I've done process engineering, project management and consulting -- they all bored me to tears! I was so depressed I considered...

    Started Low-Carb Diet Today!

    Probably better to go the route of Calories IN - Calories OUT: 1) Figure out how many calories your body normally burns in a day: Calorie Calculator Probably around 2000 for your basal metabolic rate. 2) Eat about 500 calories less than that for a safe weight reduction. Probably best...

    People seriously use the word 'Jewed' and think its ok?

    I heard someone say they were Canucked the other day...I took it as a compliment! Everyone in the world is too sensitive these days. Laugh it off and get on with your life.

    Are you a 56k'er?

    You punks don't know how lucky you have it! I remember being in High School and having to connect at 300 baud to most BBS' when my top of the line Apple Cat modem was capable of 1200 baud! Bleeding edge technology! Yes I'm an old bitter man these days... :(

    Take a gander at my new (34-year-old) Omega Constellation Chronometer wristwatch.

    I never realized how useless a watch was until mine broke a couple of years ago and I was too lazy to fix it. Now if I want to find out the time I just look at: cell phone / PDA / computer / Ipod / car clock / wall clock / sundial Oh and automatic daylight savings time updates FTW!

    Help me find out what type of disease I think I might have

    So you decided to ask a bunch of nerds for medical advice? That's like asking a group of virgins for advice on how to get laid (almost forgot this is ATOT!) --- either way you'll probably end up hurting yourself. Go to the ER and have them run some tests.

    Canadian Working in the U.S.

    Like everyone said, TN visa is the easiest but you need a company to sponsor you. If you have a Bachelors degree that is half the battle. But the job titles are very specific -- i.e. my first job was as an Applications Engineer (had a Chemical Engineering degree), job I recently obtained was...

    My grandfather had a stroke at 85 a number of years ago. He was in New Zealand, I was in Canada...obviously didn't get out there. He didn't last much longer than a few days. I've always wished that I could turn back time and at least be there during those last few days. If you're able, call...

    ASUS $199 Eee PC laptop

    Has anyone here actually bought one of these? I'd bet a kernel re-compile would yield much better battery results. Be interesting to see if anyone can run powertop on it and see why it only gets 3.5 hrs battery life -- 5200mAh should get more: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/powertop/

    I opened my wireless router to see if I could lure in my neighbor

    The haxor is not strong in this one. 75% packet loss means you're going to have a tough time listening to her Ricky Martin tunes. But if you want to see what shares are available on a Windows machine, just go to start --> run --> \\192.168.1.67\ and it will show the shares.
