Should You Buy a Refurbished (Used) Printer?

Buying a Pre-Owned Printer Makes Sense in Some Situations But Not All Refurbished, remanufactured, pre-owned, etc. — these are all euphemisms for “used.” When I ask people whether they would consider buying a used printer, I have heard responses ranging from “I never buy anything new” to “I never buy anything used.” Regardless of where you reside on that spectrum, buying a used printer is not about you, it’s about how printing technology fits your budget and needs.

SATURN 2010 / TECHdotMN field notes by Jeff Pesek 5/19/10 Architecturally Focused Techniques for Managing System Evolution by William Koscho Based on the premise that business strategy, process and units will inevitably change – the architect’s objectives are to: (a) understand/accept potential changes in the environment, (b) manage relationships between the environment and the architecture and (c) minimize the risk of the implementing change. “Is this strategic change we want to invest in or is it arbitrary and therefore cost-sensitive?” Mr.

Overclocked: Our Custom Radeon HD 5870 Roundup

Fans of custom video cards have undoubtedly found themselves a bit disappointed with the Radeon HD 5800 series. Due to a perfect storm of low GPU yields from TSMC and NVIDIA’s late arrival with the GTX 400 series, the first 6 months for the 5800 series was nothing other than bonkers.

ASUS U30Jc: Refining Thin and Light Performance

Over the past year or so, we've been watching the evolution of ASUS' U-series (and UL-series) of ultraportable laptops. The first generation ULxxVt models were highly promising, coupling switchable graphics with overclockable CULV processors in order to provide a good blend of battery life and performance. The ULxxVf models took things a step further by using NVIDIA's Optimus Technology to provide seamless switching between IGP and GPU workloads, all while keeping the same basic CULV platform

On Technology Choices

More often than not, meetings involving IT teams targeted at discussing solution designs derail into heated debates on the specific technologies to be used. This subject immediately polarizes the teams into pockets, with each party debating the use of the technology they have expertise in. Given that we consider IT a tool through which we can more effectively achieve business objectives, it is hard to believe why as IT specialists we have a tough time to judge the use of each technology in an objective manner

Twenty-two London boroughs have signed on to the plan that would rely on existing poles to provide power and lighting. Excuse my knowing laugh.

Google Gets Even More Heat from Governments on Wi-Fi Data Collection

Regulators and commissioners in several countries express dismay and demand information from Google: It will likely turn out that Google collected only nonsense from its passive scanning of open Wi-Fi networks, but nonsense or no, the company will face increased scrutiny all over the world as a result. It’s fairly ridiculous the company didn’t know it was collecting such data; it shows a lack of oversight of the code base and the results.

Creating Self Certified SSL Certificates

This document describes the process of creating a Self Signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate and using it with the Quest SSL Gateway for vWorkspace. The SSL Gateway enables clients to access the vWorkspace Web Access client using https and then connect to their published desktops and applications all securely over SSL. The SSL Gateway is designed to simplify the deployment of applications over the Internet, securely and cost-effectively. Using a self-signed SSL certificate is not recommended for production environments due to the added process of installing the certificate on each client that needs to connect. It is useful for proof of concepts or trial installations. Download the pdf document here .

AT&T Changes Plan: HSPA+ by End of 2010

The mouse roared, the elephant lumbers forth: T-Mobile, as the distant fourth-largest carrier in the US by subscribers and revenue, needs to have a gimmick. It chose to use its limited 3G network allocation to push for the fastest possible flavor available right now. The firm went to HSPA 7.2 network wide (including backhaul support) before AT&T; AT&T is using HSPA 7.2 but says it hasn’t lit it up nationally due to backhaul issues.
