    Darren reviews Acer Aspire One

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    I bought my wife an acer one, and tbh, it's not a regular laptop replacement (i gotta have the 100% scale man.. I just cant hang I guess :P) and it is FRIGGIN' AWESOME! I love it, I can hardly put the thing down. And the one we have is the 160 gig.

    Multitouch does work with this one, but it's kinda weird.... buggy... yeah... (reference to family guy)

    But it performs awesomely. I love my laptop but looking back.. yah, I would have just got a one.

    All Time Favorite Hacker Book/Tutorial

    a business book? I havent read it so I couldnt tell ya.

    I will say this though.

    ***disclaimer***

    I do not condone piracy etc.

    ***

    With that said I can tell you that if you may or may not want to find a great wealth of hacking related books and you may or may not want to check alot of them out to see which ones are good without buying a whole bunch of em' then you may or may not want to go to your favorite bay site that is associated with pirates that may or may not really be associated with the kind found in "the pirates of the carribean" and if you possibly do or do not want to search for a torrent file that may or may not be found with the words "hacker" and may or may not be joined with the word "ebook"

    Just my 2 cents..

    oh btw, eviltechie, this is the second post today you said dont read the book, I take it you didnt like it so plz explain.

    it's kinda weird to think that kids this young understand these things so easily now-a-days, and I for one find it kinda scary, because as we all know, the more people who know what we all know the less paid and more generic we IT people are... Now mind you I know this kid isnt going to be supporting a datacenter server and become a dba at the age of 8 or 10 or even 15 but these people will make us look like dinosaurs in the future. Just a thought...

    All Time Favorite Hacker Book/Tutorial

    Kevin's The Art Of Intrusion is an excellent book. I have only read one chapter, *and havent had time to read the rest* but I can say it's at least a damn good first chapter. It basically goes into rather decent detail about some wild and large hacks that a few choice hackers have done, and why or why not these hacks are possible today. Supposedly all the hacks are in fact true, from hackers that kevin himself handpicked, interviewed and grilled to ensure that it is as true as possible, except some people names are changed for the obvious reasons.

    Also this book makes you think about things such as security and possibles vs. impossibles of everything in your own life and even where you work. The first chapter was really interesting to me because it is about stealing money from casinos, and I work in a casino so that made me think about things with work. It also entices you to notice certain aspects at work and you find alot of vulnerabilities in the process *though I have really found none where I work, but then casinos are tougher to steal from now then walmart*. Really good book, and @ $25 from amazon hardbound, it's a steal.

    oh yeah and obviously if you read my sig/quote then you know how he rolls.

    IT Jobs

    in Everything Else

    Well, I do not have an I.T. job yet (I have had one before though)

    But I want to be a systems administrator, so I am working on finishing college with a b.s. in computer science and it will be under the networking portion of the curriculum.

    The in-school program that teaches for CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) is built into the curriculum, so when I finish college, I am going to get that cert, and in 5 years afterward I am going to try to get my CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) i.e. the big dog network cert. *and per cisco you have to have a cisco cert and work in the i.t. industry for at least 5 years before being eligible to obtain a ccie*

    I used to work for Gateway Technical Support through an outsource company, but to be honest, thats the best work to keep your study up on troubleshooting and just knowing your stuff, but it generally doesnt do jack for getting into a REAL I.T. job. The reason why I say this is that in most call center companies, IT or not, it's made where anyone can do it (Yah, even a caveman). So if you just so happen to be able to take a job like that (and beware no one makes it too long in those jobs for the high turnover rate. I was there for a year and a half, and I consider myself a veteran) then it may be worth it in knowledge.

    Either certifications or college degrees in computer related fields are the best ways of having your foot in the door of an IT job. The major part is just knowing what your getting into. IE. If the job post says you need to know PERL and VBscipt, you best know it, or learn how before you get the job, or else you'll land flat on your face.

    I would say if you dont know anything about troubleshooting, go buy a cheap old crap computer, and start tinkering *this way if you mess it up it can only be to your advantage because it will be a learning process* Learn at least a little about programming and networking, even if you have to take alot of time out for it as this will be to your advantage. At least learn the OSI, what it means, subnetting and things such as Windows Server 2003, and VBscript for networking, *windows server 03 is available for free for 120days from microsoft if you dont wanna get yourself some hacked copies and there is a command that will keep the counter up to 120 days* and for programming I would at least start off with some visual basic, and then graduate to some C++ action *you can get a c++ compiler for free from almost anywhere, just google seach. also Visual Studio you can get a cut down free version from microsoft* for programming, if you can tackle those, then your well on your way (and when/if you get to college you'll totally pwn all the noobs in your classes)

    If you do happen to get into an IT job that DOES NOT require any skill, dont think that thats going to help you with getting a better job. I know someone who finished school (not a computer related major) and she has an IT job with a casino. She cant go up in the job because she has nothing as far as certs or computer classes, and she cant find a better job anywhere else so she's stuck.. but if she got some certs and/or college action, then she would be golden.

    You dont have to go to college to get a certification. But you DO have to know your shiz. Read and learn. If your not going to college, go get something like BCT Nuggets and the cisco 1,2,3, and 4 books and learn your ass off and buy a REALWORLD router to learn on from second hand, or off of e-bay or amazon (something like a cisco 2100 or equivalent).

    Do not think you do not have to spend money to get into this field. Even if it is just for fixing computers on the side you will have to spend at least SOME money, and it's a good thing to find out what is available and how the market is growing in your area. If you live in nowhere-ville, and there is nothing but cow-fields and crops, then go to another town and find out how it is.

    Certifications are CHEAPER than college however, to self learn for certifications it CAN be more expensive than college (in the short term). Also you have to keep yourself committed. You dont want to buy a $300 router, a computer capable of running a couple of virtualboxes and Windows server and/or linux if you cant keep your thought process in check. Because this is the real reason why most people go to college. If I could learn just on my own, I would have never went back to college.

    Hope this helps.

    Watch yourself. You’re walking a fine enough line as it is.

    this is the first reaction post on that site for his follow up...

    If I was him I would watch himself too... I am not a linux-nazi, I am a linux user, and I know that there are some crazy ass people using linux... I would be scared... (Or at least pull the plug on my dsl for awhile.)

    sry if it sounds silly but I dunno, this is interesting and I think someone's gonna pull some shiz on him.

    wow... the IT bitch. All I gotta say man, is either I HOPE TO HELL that the company is just starting up and your trying to get things worked out, or I hope the pay is worth it... Cause thats one hell of alot of work for one IT ninja. And I know how some companies can be when they are cheap. It can be like this with almost any job type. Are you a 'yes' man? If so, it's your fault ya kno~.

    i agree as well, though i will say it's alot better ^AND CHEAPER than it used to be with a pc. Mine is a little less than 2 years old, the only thing i have upgraded (and it's due because of rpl not upgrading) is my hard drive. Paid about $950 in all for it (I built it) and it rolls with the current games pretty well. doenst play crisis real badass obviously, but still works like a champ.

    Oh'! and just found out that it's still worth $661.91 after almost 2 years (Sweet!) built for 950!

    64mb was a minimum requirement for windows ME, and if you remember as I do what happened about a month after buying that new pc with a miniscule ammount of ram, It basically bends over and sucks itself off (and thus no work gets done...)

    going for a lightweight? Try DSL, puppy linux, or jump back in win98 and see what you can do.

    btw, win98 is still fairly compatible with some software these days, you can put dx9 on it, and games shouldnt have a problem... hmmm.... win98 gaming pc?!
