    New PC time. Some advice please.

    I've always built my own PC's, but I haven't kept up with the scene in the last couple of years, so I haven't got a clue whats good these days. It will be used as a gaming machine, and I won't replace it for a couple of years, so will spend a decent amount on it (£1500 or so), I have case and...

    Wireless Keyboard doesn't work before OS!

    Have you changed the USB port that the reciever is plugged into? I find my MS Reculsa only works at boot time from certain USB ports. It's usually to do with the amount of power they take (the reculsa is backlit, so draws more power than a normal keyboard).

    1st line/2nd line/3rd line

    Yeah, hence serial console cable and not serial cable. :rasp: Anyway, it's just easier to have serial to cat5 converters instead. Less bulk to carry. I usually end up with a franken cable because my laptop doesn't have a srrial port. So I have Laptop -> USB-to-Serial cable -> Serial to Cat 5...

    1st line/2nd line/3rd line

    Hmm, I suppose if it was an hour a week you could stretch it out. I just passed the JNO-541: Juniper Networks Certified Internet Associate (JNCIA-IDP) today. 4 day course a couple of months ago where we did about 2 days worth of messing around with the devices and 2 days of the guy teaching us...

    1st line/2nd line/3rd line

    WTF? How long is a semester? That's day one when I did it at Learning Tree. Not sure how you can stretch a 4/5 day course out over 4 semesters.

    Explorer not loading?

    <y PC's started doing something similar, but weirder recently. Every two or three logins (not boots, logins), it fails to load my desktop. No icons, no start bar, no right click context menu. I can bring up task manager and start tasks from there. Explorer.exe is still running. I can halt...

    1st line/2nd line/3rd line

    In my place 1st line: Answer phones, log support calls, simple change requests (user additions/deletions, simple firewall rules) 2nd line: change requests (VPN setups, NAT rules), takes first bash at support calls 3rd line(me): Everything the lazy f**kers in 1st and 2nd can't do because it...

    Grand Theft Auto 4 Videos

    If it's done in real time in the game, then spot on mate. If it's some sort of machinma, spot on mate :-) Really enjoyed all 3 of the videos. Nice music, nice editing, nice camera angle etc. Puts my WoW videos to shame.

    UK Plug redesigned (Concept)

    I hope she's already applied for a patent before releasing that video.

    Quote required please.

    Just for the firewall work, we would probably charge you £1000+ per man per day. If you wanted it done at a weekend you would be looking at twice that. I'm doing a PIX cluster upgrade this saturday, and I'm getting £450 plus expenses for it. We have two engineers going to site, they're...

    Pfft. All the cool kids use notepad to write webcode :rasp:

    time to brush up on my IT skills

    I would tend to agree, but at our place, because we manage other peoples firewalls, it's mainly because it takes an age to learn all the different processes for each client. Heh heh, our reception is like that. We have a wall covered with various s**tty plaques. That's precisely why I have...

    time to brush up on my IT skills

    It is indeed a catch22. Though it does seem that the guys who come in with CCNA's fail (especially the self study ones), while the ones who come in with no real networking experience but willingness to give it a try pick it up. It's weird. It's not as if we only give them a couple of weeks...

    O2 HSDPA MODEM REVIEW

    I never quite figured out why you can't tether an iPhone. I thought it was pretty much a standard feature of phones these days. You can still use your mobile to make calls when its tethered (well, at least my two can (SE K800i & HTC TyTN II), I suppose it might not be the same for all...

    time to brush up on my IT skills

    Ahh, a fellow paddler in the deep end :cool: I realised not that long ago that my ability to pick up new systems and learn them quickly works against me in some ways. Whenever one of our retarded sales guys sells a managed service for devices not on our portfolio, that no one has any...

    time to brush up on my IT skills

    +1 We get quite a few guys coming in as 1st line support where I work with CCNA's or Juniper firewall certification who can't troubleshoot a problem worth a damn. They can quote you the 7 layers of the OSI model at you, but show them a tcpdump and they haven't got the slightest clue what it...

    O2 HSDPA MODEM REVIEW

    I never quite figured why people buy the 3g modems, the likelyhood is that if you have a laptop, you already have a mobile phone, just bluetooth it to your PC and off you go. No stupid software needed. In fact I'm posting this through my mobile (stupid work booking me into a stupid...

    Custom built Baseunit?

    Best one i ever saw was the head of NT for europe at my last company, he somehow managed to install a DIMM backwards. Can't remember which type it was, but the important thing being it had an off-center cutout, so in theory it should have been impossible for him to put it in backwards. He...

    usb hasp key

    I wouldn't know ;) But I'm sure if you were to put the words "crack" and "hasp" and the name of the software into the search engine of your choice, you might get some pointers :rasp:

    usb hasp key

    HASPs are usally custom hardware (thats why they usually need a seperate driver), so they're a bugger to duplicate (which is the whole point of them, if you could knock out a copy with normal hardware then they'd be useless) The easiest option is to patch the software so that it doesn't...

    Cisco ASA RPC inspection

    I reckon I need something like this: Not quite sure what values I can use in the endpoint-mapper bit though. (or even if it will take UUID's to filter on. from what I can figure, it can't)

    Cisco ASA RPC inspection

    Preferably CLI. (As asdm sucks balls)

    Cisco ASA RPC inspection

    First off, let me explain that I hate PIX and ASA with a passion. I'm a Checkpoint guy. We have a client who wants to open port 135 to one of his internal servers from the internet for Certificate Services. Yes I know it's a bad idea to open RPC to the internet, but its what they want and...

    write protection on a memory card?

    Sometimes memory cards have little write protect switches on them. Either that, or are you sure they are the same formats? Sony Ericssons tend to use Sony Memory Stick, and Nokias something else.

    SSD Macbook Test

    MTBF for normal hard drives is in the region of 750k hours, which is still 85 years :-), so it's not really anything spectacular.
