[QUOTE=latin_geek;48078682]I'm sure I'll get a nice detailed explanation from someone, but I've never understood why ISPs offer "10:1" service when upload is what people use least. Surely they should be able to support symmetrical connections for everyone?[/QUOTE] At least on DSL they have an amount of bandwidth, this could be split as up down any way they like. OpenReach in the UK decides the split as it is set my their hardware at the roadside. It's non symmetric because that fits most people's use best, technically, instead of 40/10 I could have 25/25 but for most people that's a poorer service, so it isn't offered.

[QUOTE=Dr McNinja;48079175]Anyone have any idea how I can combine multiple stereo audio inputs into output at my desk? I want to be able to have two or three inputs that combine to one pair of headphones without using the microphone line in on my computer as its not always on. Hopefully something that i can adjust each volume separately with a knob as well as a master volume.[/QUOTE] I think you can just hook the grounds together, then put a small resistor (like 1k-10k ohm) on each input before joining them back together. As long as each resistor is the same value

[QUOTE=Reagy;48080299]Welcome to Sweden people.[/QUOTE] To be fair, the reason they're fighting the government is that the government is going against the EU directive on storing personal data, even though the EU has told them to knock it off.

Question time again: My dad just told me he wants me to install the network in his new office once they move in. Now, it's not a large office, maybe 10 people max, but I want to use something better than a linksys router and cat 4 (what he's using now). What are good, higher quality brands for a router and a switch that also aren't priced for large corporations?

Though for the price, it works really well. Ubiquiti is another option.

The cloud management is something I'd prefer, because I'll be off at college and won't be able to go to his office to solve network problems. While I'm not opposed to being more educated in networking, I would much prefer hardware/software with easier setup and management as opposed to full enterprise-grade stuff with too many buttons. Of course I'm sure google could probably help me out a lot.
pfSense is actually incredibly simple. Ubiquiti also has their own controller software that's absurdly easy to use and manage remotely. For pfSense the initial install gets a little bit into the gritty, but it's very self explanitory. After you just say which interface you want to be WAN and which to be LAN, you can just remote into the GUI. Which is plain as hell. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5iXIQeE.png[/t] Then you can choose any packages you want on it, if any. They're really nice, you can have an antivirus running on the router itself to scan any http traffic against known signatures. As well as bandwidthd which logs each user's bandwidth usage so you can see if any are causing network issues. [t]http://i.imgur.com/tVFtDU9.png[/t] Ubiquiti's controller for their AP's is also really easy. You just set the SSID and password and you're good to go. You can get far more complex with that, but it's not necessary in the slightest. Same goes for pfSense. You can have massive routing and firewall rules going to serve thousands of users, but you can easily not touch that stuff for normal small business use.
