It's here! No, not winter, the 2006 Certification Magazine results are in. Last year I wrote a [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry461.html"]similar article[/URL] regarding these results, and the top spots were all 'System Administration' certifications. This year it is quite a bit different, the sought after CCIE has actually fallen from the top 5, …

[URL="http://www.microsoft.com"]Microsoft[/URL] announced that [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/"]Vista[/URL], Office 2007, and Exchange Server 2007 are now all available to 'Business' users. While most websites were speculating that this wouldn't be released to anyone (except OEM Manufactures) until January. To most it would appear that Microsoft is trying to get a head start on sales …

Another reason for the slow PS3 sales, is that the PS3 is sold out... everywhere.. Sony didn't produce enough, fast enough. There are a LOT of people around *here* that would LOVE to pay $600-700 for a PS3, but can't find any :-|

The latest issue that has really been upsetting me lately is how corporations are no longer taking liability for their mistakes. One of the cases in particular is the new Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX that I purchased recently. Nvidia recently released their GeForce 8800 series graphics cards, which, most techies …

That is where you are wrong, most major universities, or school districts, get office licenses for pennies on the dollar. A Full version of Office 2003 right now, would cost a student of University of Texas, less than $100. I'm sure 2007 won't be any more expensive.

If they get their G80 GPU's scaled down, this is a giant leap for integrated graphics. I love my new 8800 GTX ^^

Ipod is already the market share leader, so I don't think microsoft is just going to come in and take over...

Today the US House of Representatives has approved a new restriction on online gambling. This will in effect make gambling online as severe as owning child pornography. Both will be classified as a Class C Felony. This is a 12 billion dollar industry, with a good chunk (> 30%) of …

This last month Google released their [URL="http://checkout.google.com/"]Google Checkout[/URL] service. Recently there was a lot of speculation over what this service actually was, several people were saying that this was going to be similar to Paypal, but now we know for sure. I had my first experience with this new Google …

I was recently working on a personal project to setup a PVR system for my living room. The first part of this project was relatively easy; I just bought another dell computer. The next step was a little bit complicated, see, personally I would typically like to use an OS …

This tool sucks... it doesn't really tell me anything :) Seriously though, you can get a 'new' celeron 2.5Ghz (perfect for 'home' users with crappy systems), with 1 GB of ram, 160GB hard disk, for under $400. If people are going to be spending $200 on windows vista, they might …

Indeed, that is why vista has been in development for almost 6 years now, and still isn't released. :cheesy:

YoTaMiX: start a thread in the linux forum, might get much better support there..

Recently I've been selected to participate on quite a few of the google 'beta' projects, such as analytics, Company based e-mail, and their google page maker. First off, let me just say that all of the google projects are wonderful. I've been playing with the google analystics recently and the …

Lately, it appears that computer certifications are becoming one of the most important credentials that employers are looking for. It seems that while employers are looking for this key asset, corporations are starting to put out more certifications for people to get. Microsoft and Red Hat both have a 3 …

Above also mentioned that they are providing pictures in google earth, well FYI: those images were already available via other websites like 5 years ago. Google just added them to an application and their maps site. Everything that google has published has already been available to the world for public …

For all of you windows users that have been debating whether or not to change to Linux; now is the time to act, to see what it is all about. The people at Linspire are giving Linspire 5.0 away for free (digital download only) until September 6th. Simply go to …

Can you run a ping/tracert to these sites from a command prompt? If ICMP is being blocked, do you at least get a DNS response?

The default website is only bound to the local interface, I had to restart IIS to pick up the new IP if the machine was on a DHCP lease. If you go onto the server machine and do netstat -an what does it show for: [code] Proto Local Address Foreign …

This is very common with any mailserver, all you need to do is setup an alternate SMTP port, if anyone is running cpanel to manage thier server, it is like 3 clicks, or for windows MailEnable is just one configuration change.

TeX is a typesetting system containing greek symbols, and other characters, and LaTeX is the markup language for using TeX. That is at least my understanding of it.

Nagios, like linux, is a very powerful program. The only problem with 'powerful' programs, is they take a lot of dedication to setup the way you want them, but once they are, you don't have to touch it for a very long time. Even Nagios says in it's documentation the …

If it says your connected at 98%, then it is probably just a DNS resolution problem, if you go into command prompt [icode]start->run->cmd[/icode] and do 'ipconfig /all' what does it return? You can also try to use 'ping' to see if you can hit the internet by using 4.2.2.1 or …

So, basically starting off reading your rule, it says: If someone accesses this site that is *NOT* from [url]http://site.net[/url] Then redirect them to [url]http://site.net/string[/url] Maybe removing the 'NOT' is what your looking for: [code]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.net$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.net/$1 [R=301,L][/code] Which would state, if someone is accessing your site …

The more you are exposed to something, the greater the risk will be. This is the same theory that goes behind people who do welding for nuclear power plants, they are only allowed to be exposed for no more than 6 hours at a time, 3 days a week, or …

If you don't have a router, there shouldn't be any devices blocking the ports, so port forwarding isn't an issue. The only thing you'll need to worry about, is if your running a firewall of any kind, you'll need to allow the ports to be open. The documentation assumes that …

You may want to make sure that the host file on your computer doesn't have any erroneous entries in it. If you go to start -> run -> notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts It should open a file that looks like this: [code]# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a …

I went ahead and marked this as solved since you deleted the content. For anyone else that is wondering though, a router is basically a device that can intelligently decide where traffic goes across multiple subnets, where as a switch and hub both just route traffic based on it's final …

I'm sure the issue falls with this error: 'Failed to open device eth0', OpenVPN creates a number of pseudo interfaces to do it's VPN connectivity, in the version of nmap that your using, can you specify the outbound device/interface?

What are the apache logs telling you? They usually give at least some error which will at least it will tell us where to *start* looking.

Usually, the apache logs are pretty good about telling you when they have resource problems. The system can still have 5GB of ram free, because most of those apache processes are using 'shared memory' from the parent, which isn't directly allocated to them. You can use some tuning utilities like …

Usually destination unreachable means that there is a firewall in the way or the address is for some reason (could be they are down) is unreachable from your location. Without specific information about the site, I would recommend contacting your provider to see if they can get to the site, …

For this command to work, you'll need to have set a password for an 'administrator' account, or you can use /U and /P to specify a password. If you can remote desktop into the computer, you can also use 'Ctrl alt end' to bring the GUI.

This is generally caused when the computer isn't able to obtain an 'IP Address' from the DHCP server. Basically, the device that is providing access to the internet through that cable hands out IP addresses based on the Hardware ID that your computer identifies itself as. If your running windows, …

Most people would use just windows firewall or some other firewall software. The list of ips allocated to china can be found [url=http://www.okean.com/chinacidr.txt]Here[/url]. Keep in mind they make up a good portion of the internet, so if your running a site that rely on visitors, you may want to double …

Just as the title says, the IPhone 3.0 software is now available, just open itunes and select "Check version update" on the iphone. Currently I downloaded my update in about 3 minutes.

There was an issue with some of the e-mail that was going out from thursday to monday, which just got sent out. Depending on which server was trying to send the e-mail was the determining factor of if the mail got delivered on time. The issue has been corrected and …

[edit] I apologize for the previous response, I forgot which forum I was in. Are you looking to do online/offline backups? Recently the lowered price of hard disks have allowed online backups to become the new 'popular' way to do backups, and there are a lot of software packages that …

The problem your going to have, is most of these software choices use broadcast/multicast traffic to establish connectivity, which requires the local network to be accessible by the server/master. What exactly is the target of what your trying to do? Maybe there is an application that doesn't necessarily do everything …

It doesn't encrypt the data, it just encrypts the traffic transferred over port 443. If your running this on the local machine, it already has access to one side of the trusted relationship, and isn't a valid test, trying to do network sniffing on the same subnet from a different …

This is very likely not going to increase your performace. Most lan connections are at 100Mbit/s which is significantly greater than the connection to the internet connection they are typically connected to. Most broadband connections right now are less than 1/10th (<10Mbit) the speed of a single lan connections, and …

That picture usually indicates that the picture is no longer on the website and/or you need to install a plugin to see them. Do you have the latest flash/adobe plugins installed?

What exactly is the goal here? Building a wireless antenna from scratch is rather difficult, how far do you need it to reach and what frequency are you looking to serve?

The Digest mailings were a little late today, they are going out now though, and don't appear to be experiencing any issues.

Well, System restore wouldn't have helped you, because that only restores registry settings, and not necessarily files. One thing that I use personally to recover files that I've deleted can be found here: [url]http://www.pcinspector.de/download.asp?language=1#file_recovery[/url] (This product is in no way supported by myself, or anyone here), but it is rather …

Outsourcing doesn't need to *completely* stop, but yes, quite a bit of it does need to come back to the states. I've been in a job that was moved to a different country, and trust me, it sucks. *yes* I was doing the work, *yes* I was doing it well. …

Your MCSE is the only one that will stick with you beyond graduation, but even then, it will be version specific, so really how useful will an MCSE on windows 2003 going to be when you get out? By then we'll likely have 2008 and 2011 (if current release cycle …

[QUOTE=serkan sendur;871453]i neglected because arguing this with you like me arguing c++ with you.[/QUOTE] No one is likely to win that argument.

This means that you need to add the hostname of that machine to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, because it is not able to resolve your computer name.

sure they are.
