    Firefox 4. What do you think?

    I heard about the improved JavaScript engine in FF4. I found some lag in an AJAX intensive app at work in FF3, so I tested with FF4, this lag is not present with FF4.

    How do I get notified of a website is updated with available jobs?

    If you know what area you'd like to work in, I suggest finding their job application site. For instance, finding the Dallas Police Department's site. Most human resources systems that allow you to apply will periodically notify you of new job postings in the system.

    Optical Audio Gaming Headset

    You guys can throw brand names all day long...typical consumers. :rolleyes: For gaming I'd suggest: -Something circumaural, to eliminate background noise -Freq Response, humans can hear from 20Hz to 20KHz, make sure headphones cover this range, most will -Drivers, the size, for gaming, should...

    Best Linux distro

    Ubuntu Server is nice for getting a server up and running quickly. I also like Ubuntu as a development OS, after an install I can quickly cut to the chase developing whatever I need to. However, as much as I love Ubuntu. I can say that the best damn server I have ever had operating, with the...

    Which brings us to the argument, "Are you paying for an experience or just a product?"

    A+ Certification

    I'll try to give you a timeline. I started out in high school just like everyone else, building my own PCs, messing around with hardware, helping people out with problems, etc. I took a computer science class in high school during my senior year; it was all Java, nothing more. It was okay, I...

    How does Apple charge these prices?

    To hardware-centric people, who know nothing about software, a Mac is going to be hated. Remember folks, you're not buying just hardware, you've got OS X, iLife, and other nice things that Apple builds into a fully compliant POSIX OS. I had a Mac, buying another soon, but my reasoning was being...

    Have you considered getting another wireless router to go on the 3rd floor, creating two wireless networks?

    How long did it take you to learn a programming language?

    Definitely agreed! I am taking an algorithms course right now, and those things start to jump out at you. Take for instance, sorting algorithms, it drives me nuts when I see someone using something other than merge or quick. I am also really obsessive compulsive about binary trees, it seems that...

    TigerDirect Stores

    I didn't expect to get a personal shopping assistant from a guy that is basically chanting, "Ask me a question, Ask me a question!" They had more AMD boards than Intel boards, and all the Intel boards were mATX. I would halfway expect the sales associates to know that there is indeed a...

    How long did it take you to learn a programming language?

    I started with Visual Basic, terrible language to start with might I add. It was only when I learned Java and C++ in high school that I knew what in the Hell was actually going on. Modern languages are so C-like now that it's easy to pick up anything and write it. I have been working with...

    TigerDirect Stores

    I haven't actually bought something from TigerDirect since the Pentium D ages. Most of the time I use NewEgg, ZipZoomFly, and Amazon. At work we use CDW, and the prices are awful. I work in higher education, we have to use CDW-G. The 'G' means that they tack 50% on the normal price.

    Killer Nic...Are they worth it? YES.

    A Killer NIC is intended for a LAN party environment, where you also should have a GigE switch. That's not to say that it won't help with online gaming, it does remove the load produced by the onboard ethernet controller from the CPU.

    Email Disclaimer

    You can do this by email, by making your clients send back a message that reads like, I accept, I approve, I acknowledge, etc. I do this with client proposals for applications, if they accept the proposal, I make them send me an attached copy back, and saying in the message that they accept...

    TigerDirect Stores

    I just thought of this after reading someone's post in another thread. I am curious to see what everyone thinks of TigerDirect's stores in cities across the US. I don't know if this is a new thing for TigerDirect, but this was new to me. I have ties in the Dallas area and was visiting, and...

    Which is better, the Droid X or the iPhone 4???

    As a Droid X owner, I love it! My friends have the iPhone 4, so I get to make fun of them for being sheltered but it's whatever. I just wish that Google or somebody would create an email app that's worth something. They have some junky email app on the Marketplace that everyone swears is...

    A+ Certification

    Shoot a little higher than DST and try to specialize in an area. Most DSTs only make around $30,000/yr. The best route, with ever growing networks, might be security or networking. Most of those people start out around $40,000/yr. and move up to $50k or $60k within 5-10 years. I started out...
