Sorry for the late reply. Yes, it is. There are a couple of Distro's small enough to fit into a 128Mb's pen drive. This distributions include DSL, wich you can read a good review here as well as a couple more of them, wich you can Google. I would also advise you to try Live CD's distributions. If you want to know a little bit more about it, that's the perfect option.

Maybe this software does the trick.

Well, it all depends on what you want to do with your profissional life. The path I choose for me was: Microsoft (I had classes for MCSE), CompTIA (home study only), CWNP (wireless technologies certifications - home study) and I plan on taking Cisco after Im done with the 3 previous areas (CCNA and CCDA home study only. CCNP, CCDP and CCSP with classes). I would problably go with Microsoft after your done with CompTIA. It's easyer than Cisco if your going to the long run (MCSE +S vs CCNP or CCSP).

A+ and Network+ are *easy*! If you have a little background, you'll have those done with no problems. As for the Security+ exam, I'll have to say that has nothing to do with A+ and Network+ in terms of difficulty. It's a harder area by 'default', however, if you have a little bit of knowleadge of Information Security and study for 2 or 3 different books, there will be no problem. About the Server+ and Linux+. Server+, wich I wanted to do, is VERY hardware based. I even bought the book from ExamCram, but I sould it after 2 day's of study. Not my thing. If you into Hardware, go for it. It's a certifications that has not been very famous, and maybe because of that, can be good to your curriculum. Linux+ is a tottaly different thing. I am Windows Fanboy and I never really liked Linux (old distros at least) and I am currently studying for that certification. Linux is getting more into bussiness the last couple of years, and because of that, having a certain level of knowleadge about it, wich will be provided by your study for the exam, can be a good thing. Remember that the Linux+ is very hard. I heard people that have been working with Linux for a couple of years and failed the first time that they took the exam. So if your going for it, study allot. About how to study for certifications, I have to remember you that BRAINDUMPS WILL NOT HELP YOU IN ANYWAY! Do allot of exam simulators and study for 2 or 3 different books. This way you will not be limited to a authors point of view and will get you better prepared for the exam. P.S: I am currently adding 100 more question to the Security+ simulator over at MCMCSE.com. I'm still writting them, but I think I'll be over in a week. Check it out

I just found out this review of the Matrox Triplehead2Go. OMG! Poor guy had to spend 3 hours playing his favorite FPS on a uber leet system with a 3 monitor setup. I want it ..!

The Software forum found you. I read about Dell De-Crapifier yesterday on Digg. It removes allot of the application that come pre-installed, however, this may only work with Dell computers, since the pretty much come with the same applications installed. Creating a script like that for the applications in question would be an option.

That's an idea. I would prefer not to, however, if there is not way of having it centered, I'll do it.

Hehe. Welcome!

LOL! I'm in!

Yes. You are correct. What I was thinking was somehow 'getting' a table already done from somewhere. Getting the Government one would be cool.

Did you try changing the metric with that hotfix installed? From what I could understand from a search on TechNET, you need the hotfix installed to properly change the metric of a NIC.

Yes? Your point being? There aren't any uncrackable passwords! Doesn't matter if they are 20 or 30 characters long, however, the time and processor time required to brute-force on a password that long makes it unthinkable.

Welcome to MSFN! Enjoy buddy!

That's a good implementation. Multifactor authentication is the best method. Using 2 out of 3 is really good, however, using the 3 'areas' would be really cool. Something you are (fingerprint, DNA) Something you know (PIN, password) Something you have (Smartcard)

That's the problem. I also got it centered, but because I need everything pre-formatted it will not look good. I need a way of centering and still use the PRE tags.

Thanks for the tip, it did worked, a little bit ... LOL The ASCII art moved a little bit to the right, it did not get centered tho. This is what I have now: ... <Table Align="Center"><TD> <pre> <b> ________ __ __ ___ ___ ________ / _____/ ____ __ __| | _|__|/ | \\_____ \ / \ ___ / _ \| | \ |/ / / ~ \/ / \ \ ___ ___ ___ \ \_\ ( <_> ) | / <| \ Y / \_/. \ _ | . | _| . | \______ /\____/|____/|__|_ \__|\___|_ /\_____\ \_/ |_||___|_| |_ | \/ \/ \/ \__> |___| </b> </pre> </TD></Table> ...

LOL! You'r right. My bad! Hehehe!

LOLOL. You had me refreshing the page like a mad man for that?! j/k Take care buddy!

We have a recent thread discussing the same thing. Please search next time. Take care.

If a computer has the storage space needed (two or three TB would be nice), using pre-computed hash tables would make the job allot easyer, and faster. (~ 1/10 the time of a brute-force attack) There are no uncrackble passwords, just some that will take a bit longer to crack.

How about giving more information?

I have a list of Services configuration I use at my machines. You can get it here. [XLS]

Welcome to MSFN!

when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Simple as going to a website and doing a simple name search. I read about this on a Digg submission, ComputerWorld was an article giving more information about this serious security hole in County. I found this comic statetment a Broward County website: Yah. Really safe, and internal too. Can this type of holes be forgiven? Isn't this reason enough to fire and prosecute the responsable for the security of that website? A DoS is possibly taking place, since they (County) has made a e-Mail address so that citizens can ask them to remove their information from the Internet. If your name is listed there, and if you don't like the idea, mail them: removepersonalinfo@broward.org ... back to searching some known people!

The text that I want centered is an ASCII art. So I had to use <pre> </pre> so it could look good. Using <h1 style="text-align: center;"> and <div style="text-align: center;"> does not work, because the ASCII art gets all messed up. Any ideas? Thanks. EDIT: Using .CSS
