• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Kick-ass NOC view

    It's not as much about making it easy for one person to see everything, but more about having different pieces of information come across the TV at regular intervals. So I'm looking for something that can automatically change what is on the TV at regular intervals. Any suggestions?

    Kick-ass NOC view

    Hey guys - I'm going to be setting up a NOC view on a large 46" TV. We have our existing monitoring software that has a web interface and a page designed for critical status. So I'll be doing that. If I want to add a few other web status pages from other web monitoring apps. Anyone know...

    The Making of Honda’s ‘Let it Shine’ Ad

    Cool, except for that they never tell you how they did it. It was all warm and fuzzy, and that was about it. No technical details at all. Synopsis: "We used the car headlights. It was cool. No one had done it before. (shows cars and cameras and a bunch of the desert)" meh...

    Woot-off Midnight tonight?

    Check it - this is what I'd love to see: A video produced by woot that follows a woot-off, from the operational and technical level. IE - how they change the products on the website, but most importantly: I'd love to see footage of perfmon on the servers starting 3 minutes before the BoC...

    Search and Seizure of Laptops at Airports

    So there are some good, creative methods to keep data reasonably secure from prying eyes for me and you, but what about the large scale corporate laptop users? What does a corporation do about this? Remote desktop isn't really an option, as these users will typically need offline e-mail and file...

    Search and Seizure of Laptops at Airports

    Feel free to correct me, MrGuvernment, but I don't see the answers to my questions in other threads.

    Search and Seizure of Laptops at Airports

    From Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Sorry, man. I can't agree with you there. When we start to be comfortable with inappropriate searches without just cause, we have sacrificed...

    Search and Seizure of Laptops at Airports

    Hey folks - by now we've all probably heard that TSA and border patrol agents have the authority and legal backing to search your laptop with or without reasonable cause. Interesting article on the subject: http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/832 Here's something I was thinking about...

    ATTN: A+ Certified folks - Want to be a SME?

    Hey there, folks... (NOTE - if this needs to go somewhere else, admins, please move it) CompTIA has contacted me about doing an A+ Subject Matter Expert workshop for the A+ certification exam. I am unavailable during the dates they need (Mid-November), but I figure I'd ask around in case...

    Should IT Form a Union?

    I'll repeat what TheBluePill said: Let the free market work. Free Enterprise is an unbelievably powerful force. It is a self-righting ship, when it is allowed to work without external "corrections". Maximus; does it really serve a company to potentially neglect their IT resources? So...

    Should IT Form a Union?

    Wow...That sucks... ...that you allow them to do that.

    Should IT Form a Union?

    THIS. I would only add that GOOD IT professionals need no help getting what they want in an employment relationship. Those that can't, shouldn't. People need to realize that THEY control what happens in their working relationship, not anyone else. The minute you decide to give that up by...

    Suggestions for getting CompTIA A+ certification

    Make sure you are using good practice tests from reputable companies that have updated to the 2006 CompTIA standard. As for the vouchers, you really are not going to find much variance in the price. "Deals" on good, reptable vouchers don't really happen.

    My ISP is "managing" my internet traffic; read: "slower than dial-up" latency

    Oh - my bad. :-) I failed to mention one point earlier. When I was originally on the phone with them, he stated that it look like a high-volume of "streaming video" was likely the cause. When I asked about YouTube, he confirmed that there was (in their opinion) a large amount of streaming...
