Hi, Which brand sells good quality and reliable LCD monitor? I am tending towards the traditional LG and Samsung. How are the new brands like Viewsonic, BenQ and AOC compared to them? Thanks.

If you know, please tell. These glasses are special filter glasses, like dark glasses, with which we can watch the solar eclipse without harming our eyes. Thanks.

The CCNA syllabus includes configuring Cisco routers/switches. How will you practice without having access to them? You might learn the theory from the training books but you will miss the practicals.

Just because some arrogant forums do silly things like banning people for not using a Rs. 2000 PSU doesn't mean we have to toe their line. While I agree that a PSU can take down all of your components slowly like cancer, spending Rs. 4000 for a so called good cabinet+PSU when you commonly get...

If you update your BIOS you would need to reflash it. And that might void your motherboard warranty. So it's best to take the system to the dealer/service center for that specifically (you can partition your hard drive and run diagnostics software yourself). By the way, local PSU's cost around...

Thanks everyone.

Hi, I am thinking of buying a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I often download movies and it takes me 7-10 hours. So I wonder if I would be able to keep the laptop working for that long without it overheating?

You should go for Zend certified PHP courses (Zend is the company behind PHP). Here's one institute *www.osscube.com/zend.php . It's in NOIDA though.

It's because despite FOSS being Free and Open Source, businesses need to earn money and also don't shy away from spending money. And IGNOU's MCA program isn't free. It costs Rs. 25,000 per year.

Yes, you should definitely go for a degree, preferably in computers. Open universities would be an obvious choice. Get certifications like MCSE (Windows), CCNA/CCNP, Solaris or Linux certifications, depending on what you know and have experience with. You should be looking towards getting...

Well, it certainly can be found out which jobs are more in Delhi by the experiences of those who are looking for jobs and from job advertisements. And software development is engineering (creating things literally). So my query is reasonable I think and not at all uninformed. Besides, PHP...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. But I don't see how it is an uninformed query. Everyone newly getting into the field would want to know which technologies are in demand in their preferred locations. I don't see why PHP development wouldn't be called application development. Lots of web-applications...

Not really interested in web applications but the only widespread, decent entry level jobs in IT seem to be for them. I am more interested in Linux/Unix systems and network administration and security and after that embedded/mobile development. By the way I wonder if Microsoft's recently...

Hi, Which has more jobs in Delhi/Gurgaon? .Net, Java or PHP? Is it true that Java requires experience and engineering degree (I am an MCA) and there are less jobs in Delhi?

You can learn it by yourself for free. It might take some time but you will learn it better rather than attending some class for one month or even three months. And certifications aren't free but they aren't absolutely needed if you have a degree and some expertise in the technology. You can...

Yes, the Red Hat exam RHCE is expensive (though I had read it costs Rs. 12,000, not Rs. 14,000). But it's the only Linux administration certificate in most demand in India. So what you can do is learn and experiment with Linux in your home and set up a network. Then after you are confident about...

I zeroed in on Dell whose prices for a similar model are Rs. 5000 more than the sum of the individual parts including legal software. HP seems to be looting people charging Rs. 15000 more. And talking of legal software, it has vista starter edition which is a joke.

Hi, I want to buy HP Pavilion a6610in Desktop PC (FK796AA) and it costs Rs. 30,000. But when I checked the price of its components individually, they add up to Rs. 15,000. I know branded computers are expensive but this is outrageous! It's an Intel E2200, n630i chipset based desktop with 1 GB...
