There's alot of coverage of the American candidates(mostly Obama) here in the UK.

It seems most of the UK and Europeans who are interested in world affairs, want Obama to win.

I myself hope Obama gets in, as he does seem the most sensible, plus he reminds me of the president from 24 :laugh:

Who do you want?

Poll results so far says Obama in a landslide. Not that surprising. I know we seem to get a good amount more Obama coverage. Aside from the recent McCain not knowing how many houses he owns bit that got some coverage.

Was that report on McCain clarified that he owns none of them? I'm sure they didn't, and I'm sure they didn't explore how Obama got his home.

I can't remember if they mentioned how many he truly owns but they actually did go into some detail as to his ties to Rezko and it's funding. It does on a whole seem to be a pro-obama media here. I take any mainstream media coverage of it all with a grain of salt.

Neither really, something that annoys me amount American politics is the huge amount of money wasted on advertising and campaigns that could have been put back into the country. (Yes I know this also happens in the UK, but to a lesser extent and you wont get adverts trying to bring down another candidate - the media does that fine.) So what I really want to see is someone actually try to get the presidency without going the route which requires a huge waste of money - which of course is never going to happen.

Well, I stand corrected on Obama's home (Y)

(and McCain doesn't own any of them if you didn't know)

Really? ads that do nothing but take cheap shots at the opposition are easily the majority come election time here.

I did know i was just trying to remember what the report did or didnt say.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
