When considering becoming a network administrator consider this advice:
"Lastly:
Keep at least 3-6 full bottles of hard alcohol on hand, a 2 week resignation notice, and a mini-fridge full of beer in addition, and depending on the state you're working in, maybe keep a gun on hand if you're licensed and it's legal.
Oh and don't forget, being a network administrator has basically NOTHING to do with being a network administrator. It's more like managing a circus of crying babies who have no idea what the fuck they're doing."

Submission + - Lamenting the pervasiveness of video on the web
tripleevenfall writes: As the amount of bandwidth gradually expands in most American homes, webmasters around the world are increasingly deciding for us that video should be the default delivery method of choice on the web. One only needs to peruse popular websites such as local news sites or ESPN to see that visitors are increasingly being pushed to watch videos where once it was easy to access a text-base story. Is this really an improvement? Isn't something lost when users are forced into a much more linear medium? Will there be any user backlash?

Yes it was a Dell issue. The M65 I had purchased with 4GB and 64bit Vista installed experienced the same 3.25GB limit because of a 32 bit chipset.
"The memory issue is indeed related to the HARDWARE. Specifically, it’s due to the Intel 945 chipset used in Dell’s laptops and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the operating system"
