DevOps is most definitely not just Linux. It's an adaption of technology deployment, processes and organisation staff structures. Go and read up on the topic... the Internet is your friend.

Choose the job with the most responsibility, flexibility and learning opportunities. What matters, is the job you actually do and how much you learn in the process of doing it. Transferable skills beat any job title; titles for the most part, are usually irrelevant. Understand what the...

I wouldn't say easily. The average contractor rates for London are around 450pd (and can sometimes be less). There are usually around 250 working days in a year. Assuming most people want to take at least 20 of these off that means they are left with circa 220. So capable of earning...

Theres a UNIX tool which does this very well: http://freequaos.host.sk/arpwatch/

A career as a network engineer really depends on how much you put into your learning, the degree will teach you the basics but vendor certfications become much more useful in this field (with of course, the relevant experience). I'd definately suggest pursuing your CCNA (and subsequently at...

Blue Coat SG series: http://www.bluecoat.com/products/sg Websense: http://www.websense.com/ (probably the most widely used) Both vendors have products that do what you're after... I suggest you take a peek.

There have been two types of Dolphin 35 contract in the past (and maybe so now, I'm a little out of touch with the market). Dolphin 35 - 500min / unlimited text Dolphin 35 - 500min / 500 texts It would depend to which one he signed up to at the time (both Orange themselves and third...

If the source ranges are indeed in bulk, then you could be correct with assuming it is legitimate traffic. Likewise however, it could perhaps be malware masquerading on that port that has infected the entire network. Another option of course is to setup a SPAN port and inspect the traffic for...

Peer-to-peer applications such as this are usually not port-dependant on their operation. I’d not be surprised if the end-user had simply cottoned on to the block and adjusted the application listener settings appropriately. Surely you have some internal source IP addresses to work with? I’d...

*edited* Nevermind, I didn't mean it to be a dig. I was merely pointing out that things are not always as bad as they seem.

If you have a Cisco network or a Linux box either side then use ttcp to check for bandwidth and an extended PING to check for latency / packet loss :) No point forking out for software to bring you pretty graphs - the above will be more than sufficient.

I'm with Fox on this one. You sold the guy a faulty product, you should have tested it and clearly stated it was faulty. It's not the onus of the buyer to discover if a product is faulty by your misleading 'coy' information.

Haha, give me a break! How can you be so autocratic? I was brought up with the 'treat others as you like to be treat' mentality :) Thankfully I no longer work within retail, but I can see how many in this thread have formed their opinions, both for and against retail staff.

Because teaching CS really requires knowledge on how to operate a proprietary Microsoft application. OKAY! :rolleyes: But of course, you are naturally more intelligent than said teacher, because you've played with Excel a few times.

A vote for HP Openview here. Also ensure that you use SNMP v3 if you implement monitoring within your existing network (so the traffic is encrypted) or fork out the traffic onto another dedicated network VLAN (in an ideal world do both). Don't want people gathering intelligence from...

If you have to have your windscreen replaced do you lose your NCB?

10 days off work (unused holidays) - gym later. ;)

Haha, that is quite literally the best 'owned' picture I've ever seen. :D

Lenovo X61.

He looks, sounds and acts like a typical chav. Hopefully he knackered his engine so I don't see him on the road attempting to race me with his 'super charged' 1.0ltr engine ;)
