I lived in MN for 32+ years, and after the last 2 winters, I decided that I've had it. My employer let me transfer to sunny Florida, and even with all the extra critters, and crazy people, I'll be happy when it's 70F degrees in January. Meanwhile it will be -10F and lots of snow back in MN. No regrets.
I just dialed into a 56k USRobotics modem this morning at one of my remote sites. They are still prevalent for remote out-of-band management of network devices (i.e. switches, routers). They have saved my bacon numerous times over the years and I don't see them going away anytime soon in my line of work.
Must be good business for the local paper company.
That, and Scantron is headquartered in MN: http://www.scantron.com/company/locations/
Not voting with a Scantron, but I am voting in Scranton, PA.
I like what you did there.
Everything was orderly and calm at the polling place in our hometown. I was in and out of the polling place in 10 minutes.
I'm curious to know how many places are using computerized voting machines in the country? MN still uses Scantron machines; it's hard to screw up, and cheap to operate.
It all depends on what your needs are.
If you want to go advanced networking with VLAN:s and stuff like that then Cisco or maybe HP are the alternatives, but considering that HP is moving to be a services only company then I think that Cisco is the way to go. As for those of you who swear to Extreme - no thank you.
Another alternative would be Juniper, but they are a small player in the top level pond.
From what I understand, HP wants to stay in the enterprise networking market.
They just snapped up 3COM not that long ago to compete directly with Cisco on their Nexus series switches. They tried to offload their ProCurve unit many years ago, but then decided to hang on to it.
You can't beat a lifetime warranty on a switch.
My naming convention at home has been related to Simpsons characters, it somewhat has to do with their function as well:
Homer = Desktop/Server
Bart = Laptop
Lovejoy = Firewall
Flanders = Modem
Marge = Wife's Computer
Maggie = Netbook
BB is essential for cwhoreporate systems, because NO OTHER PHONE ON THE MARKET ANYWHERE matches its functionality... they can issue you a phone, then enforce strong passwords, content filtering, disable cameras so you don't end up sending pictures of your Christmas party indiscretion to your whole team, etc etc.
In Exchange 2007 you have the same functionality for policy enforcement; disabling cameras, strong passwords, managing applications, and blocking web browsing. Granted this is on a device that fully licenses ActiveSync technology.
It's going to be a synergenic revitalization of the optimum dynastic capitalization for interconnected dynamics in the convergent subsidiaries of virtual datacenter alligories.
You lost me after synergenic.
