   No listing for vi/vim/emacs/your-favorite-text-editor? Seriously - does nobody just do simple HTML sites by hand anymore?

   FYI, to get to the System UI Tuner section mentioned: - if you have animations disabled in Developer Settings, re-enable them - Reboot - Pull down the quick settings toggles, long-press the gear/settings icon at top right. It should s

   I was a sysadmin for a division of Halliburton for over a decade (until this past January) and word came down the pipe that they were going to retire/give-back 134.132.x (owned by Landmark Graphics subsidiary) and work on moving off 10

   Great acquisition! I'm jealous. Symbolics stuff isn't as rare as the post claims; you can still buy the Symbolics OpenGenera LISP environment for running on top of DEC's UNIX on an Alpha. [0] In addition there's a port

    I've used mutt since '98 or so, and see no reason to change. For HTML email I can either pipe it into lynx or bounce it to Gmail.

    I can easily max out doing a speedtest on my 50/10 link from a client behind the ERX to a speed test server on the WAN side, if that helps any.

    What kind of uplink/downlink bandwidth do you have/need? As the other poster said, the ERX doesn't have hardware offloading (UBNT beta forums says they're working on it), but for my use case, there's no difference

    For my needs, they're performance-identical (I only have 50/10 Business internet from Comcast), and well, I wanted to try out the ERX just to see how it compared. So much feature! So tiny box! So far so good, and I have three Op

    You can get IOS 12 (autonomous) for it with only a Cisco support login (no contract), but I had to ask a friend for the IOS 15 image. Got huge performance improvements with the newer version.

    Anybody that needs more than one Ethernet port will pretty much know that you can add a multi-port switch hanging off that one port for $10-$20.

    They're not "normal end user" friendly at all, but once you get them up and working they're great. I still find it amazing that I can get what is near $1K-original-price worth of industrial-grade AP for less than $100.

    The -LR won't do 5Ghz, it's 2.4Ghz g/n-only.

    This is the AP I got (there's others available for around the same price, but the deal with the two antennas was too good to pass up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261985177103 Here's the power injector you need to

    ~3 weeks ago I upgraded to an industrial-quality Cisco Aironet 1252AG access point (no -ac but it does -n 300Mbps just fine), that I got off eBay with power supply for a grand total of $60. I'm a big fan of separating the NAT/rout

    I forget which one, but a review I've read in the past 24 hours said that they plan to eventually have a web equivalent to the phone app for basic setup.

    Adrafinil metabolizes into modafinil (to put it short), and it's completely over the counter and not controlled. Told my doc that I was taking it instead of Provigil (the brand name for modafinil) and they're all for it, as long a

    I'm glad to be out of the oil/gas industry. Got laid off from one of the largest energy services companies back in January, after more than twelve years. Got another sysadmin gig, and I've never been happier.

    I think a lot of states have (if not active, legacy) Internet backbones where schools and such had connectivity back in the day before the "general public". Oklahoma's is "OneNet"[1], and we had a T1 at usao.edu bac

    I played with Ingress for a couple of days, using GPS spoofing - but they quickly somehow found a way to catch people doing that (multiple location sources, I'm guessing).
