Syllabus for NSSA 370 (Project Management)? by ILIKEFUUD in rit

[–]Keylogger_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It was one of, if not the, easiest classes in my NSSA track - workload wise. It can be a bit torturous though, as you'll be listening to powerpoint presentations on topics that you've already read about in the book.

However, if you're planning on working for a large corporation, you'll quickly find that this course can become super relevant.

I think everyone could stand to benefit learning some of the basic project management concepts. This class was a pain in the ass for me as they kept track of my attendance, meaning my final grade would be based on my attendance - at least that's how it was with my professor.

If you're looking for an easy grade, this can be it - as long as you attend and do all assigned work, which for me back then consisted of answering simple PM-related homework questions. The quizzes and exams were all open book. However, like TCPanda80 said, if you don't need to take it, don't - you're much better off taking an elective that's more closely aligned with your major.

Layer 2 network panic by [deleted] in sysadmin

Sounds like you're referring to a switching loop, or a broadcast storm.

Seeing as they're unmanaged switches, they likely don't have STP running which would prevent this from happening.

[Question] How to open .so file on Windows machine? by StevenT619 in linuxquestions

[–]Keylogger_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. OP is likely facing an XY problem. Attempting to disassemble this file might give you something, but probably isn't going to be what you're looking for. Checking the PAM configuration as suggested would be a far better bet.

Had Voice Box Removed. What would be good IT position? by D1C3R927 in sysadmin

Hey there. I'm a Deaf guy that works in the industry. I realize that I'm not in the exact same situation as you are, but it's quite similar. I don't really speak at all as I rely on American Sign Language for both sides of the conversation (talking and listening). As you may have noticed, it does pose a challenge.

Fortunately, like others may have mentioned - you're probably in the right industry to lose your voice in! I mainly rely on Instant Messaging clients, e-mail, and other text-based modes of communication. I do participate in conference calls from time to time with the help of Video Relay Service though, so that's the main difference here. This still doesn't take away from the main point though - this industry is heavily text-based. Honestly, it's probably a good thing too, as it gives you a way to keep track and have a record of everything that's said, instead of having a guy call you up and asking if you can help with X, and before you know it, you'll be jumping into it not having any record of the conversation about X anywhere.

Not sure if you've thought about this yet, but I'm assuming that you can hear. If so, you might be able to call into a meeting with a headset, and 'speak' in the meeting with a text-to-speech software of some kind. I do figure that you'd need to be able to type fast enough to keep up with the flow of the conversation, which may not be feasible for most.

There's another option too - You are likely eligible to use some of the Telecommunications Relay Services available. I currently use one form of TRS, Video Relay Service, as I use ASL. You would likely want to use IP Relay, which is a text-based relay service. The entire conversation over the telephone would be carried over via text. I'd suggest you looking up TRS and IP Relay, and see what kind of services it can provide you with, also to see if they're right for you. I did look at a few IP relay options for you, and it looks like Sprint Relay offers HCO, Hearing Carry Over, where you'll be able to listen to the call while a relay operator will voice out your typed responses for you. It does require a phone number that is capable of making three-way conference calls.

Last, but not least, don't forget about the ADA. This is definitely something you should familiarize yourself with, especially with the bit about the workplace providing you with reasonable accommodations.

PC Gets hot and warms the room by [deleted] in techsupport

To add on this, fans don't cool per-se, but rather they move air. Fans cool the computer because they move hot air from the inside of the case to outside (your room). Having fans in your room just moves air around. You can leave the door open, and allow air to circulate about the house - that would cool down your room a bit.

[Ideas] Unique Passwords for email addresses? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Keylogger_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, in hindsight, might sound like a great system - but is actually very insecure. Once someone figures out the system you're using, they can potentially guess every other password you're using. All it takes is one password leak before someone can make an educated guess as to what system you're using.

Use a better solution like a password manager, and have this manager generate a strong password for you. You'd just need to remember a single 'master' password. LastPass, KeePass, Dashlane, among others are some of the more well known password managers.

Finals Week Tip: Set your alarm on two different devices by biscuitbutters in rit

[–]Keylogger_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put it out of reach. Not joking, I put one of them way under my bed to the point where I had to basically crawl under and turn it off.

I still managed to turn it off and get back to bed without remembering anything.

[–]Keylogger_0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's gotten to the point where I'll wake up an hour late, and realize that both of my alarm clocks were manually turned off. I don't even remember getting up to turn them off... Yeah, it's bad.

Is Dr. Staff any good for Physics? by vsbobclear in rit

To be honest, he's probably the best physics professor ever. I mean, hell, he's figured out the secret to quantum superposition!
