    Bill Targets Pornography Viewing On Government Computers

    Most of the DoD runs Websense or some other white/black listing firewall and block almost everything already. Porn, swimsuit sites, most forums, facebook, youtube, twitter, etc. are all blocked. And yes, fed computers require and AUP to use, and come with a warning banner that you consent to...

    Fundraiser to Support ‘NSA-Proof’ Email Gets Off to a Roaring Start

    Sorry, but this tool is not for that. You are not allowed to transmit data classified at the secret or top secret level across NIPRnet, even if it is encrypted. The government has totally segregated networks for that called SIPRnet and JWICS.

    Music Rights Group Sues ISPs Over “Pirate Tax”

    That's completely idiotic. Its like a gasoline company taxing a private road because people can drive an electric car on it.

    Google Glass Not Fully Functional With iPhone

    Duh. If you want seamless compatibility with a Google peripheral, you better be running their OS. Or waiting for Apple to release a similar product.

    More LulzSec Members Plead Guilty

    I don't think blocking Westboro Baptist should be on a list of charges. They really were doing the world a favor there, no matter what your religious belief is, lol.

    What Has Your ISP Done For You Lately?

    Mine finally got around to offering 10mb service (been on 3mb for around 6 years). Only they want $80/mo for it unless you sign a 5 year (yes 5!) contract for $40/mo.

    Antec Case & PSU Combo Lucky Draw!!!!!

    I have always loved Antec's products. I have built MANY PCs for businesses since '99 and always pick an Antec case and PSU due to the high quality construction and reliable parts. They have always been a leader on new technologies and design.

    Get Ready for a Summer of Sci-Fi

    Avengers, Dark Knight, Total Recall, Snow White, Spiderman, and Promethius all look good to me. But who in the world thought up the idea to put Abe Lincoln in a vampire movie?

    The Future According To Microsoft

    Looks pretty cool. I think most of this technology already exists, just beyond the financial capability of most areas/people at this time. I see a lot if integrated Windows Phone/Kinect stuff in that video.

    Netflix Hikes Prices, Adds DVD-Only Plan

    Ouch. I was already angry at the last increase and dropped from 3 rentals to 2 (plus blueray option). My internet connection at home is too slow to stream at decent quality. I think this time I will just cancel altogether and just use Redbox.

    Network storage, what to do?!

    I am trying to weigh the pros and cons out here. I want some storage on my home network to provide a place to put important files. (pictures and videos of my kids, mp3 archive, etc.) and would be nice to be able to use to stream video to a media player or xbox. Here are the three ideas I...

    Verizon CEO: Get Ready for Tiered Data Plans

    I wonder if they will allow existing unlimited users to be grandfathered in like AT&T did? If so, I wont have much to worry about, but if they go to a tiered service for everyone, I may end up out of pocket quite a bit....

    Troubleshooting PC power issues

    I am working on a pc that will just shut down instantly without warning while working. The green led light goes dim, but does not go off completely. It will not turn on via the power button after this. If I leave it unplugged for a while, I can turn it back on, but sometimes it does not even...

    Viewsonic or Dell

    I vote for the Viewsonic. I only buy Viewsonic LCDs, and out of the last 15 or so, I have only found 1 dead pixel. Plus, I buy them from either Zipzoomfly or Mwave, not Newegg. I have a VX924 on my desk right now, and absolutely love it. I have a Viewsonic CRT at home, and would trade it for...

    W2k Clients stopped responding to WSUS?

    I found this: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/2686bd2b-910a-479b-961e-cea2a20280241033.mspx?mfr=true The reset command seems to be what you are talking about.

    W2k Clients stopped responding to WSUS?

    That hasnt seemed to change anything. Its odd because it is just 2k boxes, and all of them did this at the same time. From the log files it shows that they all can connect to the server, but error out when trying to download cab files.

    Windows Server 2003 Administrators Handbook is decent, but not helpful in a realworld situation. It might help you learn where things are and what does what.

    My pings are horrible in games

    Have you tried any packet tweaking to see if it helps? Really, I should just tell you to quit whining, seeing as I am still on dialup and have a min ping of 350 when I am lucky.

    W2k Clients stopped responding to WSUS?

    Looked at the WSUS control page this morning to see that 7 clients have not responded in 35 days? I havent noticed them being reported in the last few weeks. And they are all W2k machines. I dont know of anything that has changed on the network, all the group policy info should be the same...

    Dish internet?

    We have business class Direcway here at work because no other alternative to dial-up is available. For our use it is ok, but still pricey. We pay $100/month for 1mb down / 56k up (which is usually more like 300-500k down / 200 up). We also had to purchase all the equipment, and pay for the...

    Best paid Usenet provider

    I use Easynews and like it. The rollover is cool, because I dl stuff sporatically, and I usually have a lot of GBs left over from previous months. Dont use it much since NZBzone.com shut down.
