Well I'm not familiar with DSL, but doesn't it require some sort of login? PPPoE is one protocol used. Perhaps that's why you don't need it added to your account, since the username and password are what give you the access. If not, than it's probably similar to cable, you register on some page when you first use the…

Just as a note so you know where it came from, I used to do 2nd level internet support for a cable company. Some of my knowledge is from 8 years ago, so it may be a little outdated, but I believe most of the info I gave hasn't changed much. The internal modem IP is something we as tech support could see using the…

The mac address of whatever is connected to the modem determines what public IP address you get. If you happen to change that mac address, either by switching devices (computer to computer or computer to router) or by spoofing a different mac address, you have to power cycle the modem (unplug it for 30 or so seconds)…

Since we're using anecdotal evidence to generalize to all people, let me tell you about my brother. He could down a whole box of eggo waffles (the costco size box), eat several hot pockets, several frozen burritos, eat a dozen eggs scrambled, have a burger or two at in-n-out, eat a whole pizza, and this quantity of…

I never ask if I'm hired at the end of a job interview, I've always thought this was bad etiquette. I'm not the only person that was interviewed, and the person interviewing isn't the only person that will make the hiring decision. I generally figure they need to go back and talk things over with their peers, and it's…

I only steal from the rich people in the game because I know I'll end up with more money. If I knew stealing from the poor people would also net me a couple grand, I'd have no qualms stealing from them either. There's no Robin Hood reason for me, just that they give me more money.

That part has always been that way. You only get access as long as you're a ps plus member

I currently use feedly for my RSS feeds and I save some to come back to them later. In addition to this I've also used Pocket more recently to save articles that I had not found while catching up on feedly. I actually pay for feedly, mostly so I can search through all the feeds. I might have to give this a try and…

My profile doesn't have a photo, does that mean they skip that and spend more time actually paying attention to the rest of my profile?

Well the IT recruiting (or computer based jobs recruiting in general) seems to be the common thread here when it comes to questionable recruiters, although if you're automotive I don't know why they'd be calling you.

As for the entry level, I can only speculate but perhaps it's related to the job market. Not enough…

What are the different industries that people commenting here work in? It seems to be very computer heavy, from IT to sysadmins and programmers/developers, etc. I wonder if these industries are just filled with a higher number of unskilled recruiters? I see a lot of people mentioning getting calls from people in…

Recruiters I've worked with will ask me a best time to contact me. That includes waiting till after hours and sometimes even the weekends to call me when it's most convenient for me.

What industry do you work in? My experience with linkedin has mostly been positive.

I get emails and calls like that because of dice and monster, and personally I would not call them recruiters. Half the emails I get for database administration or network engineering, 2 things I have no qualifications for, I would wonder if the companies are even legit. They remind me too much of the calls I get from…

Aren't there cases where the recruiter and headhunter are one in the same? From what I gather, headhunters and recruiters are very similar and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. In general a headhunter tends to search for a specific skillset whereas a recruiter tends to find candidates for any open position…

They may not be your friends, but it's in their best interests to make sure to find the best match for a job and for the employee. As I've said on a previous article, perhaps it's my field, but the recruiters I've worked with want to make sure that not only am I the right person for the job, but that the job is right…

I think I went over once and there was a fee, but you can call and get it reduced, claim ignorance or something. But the ignorance claim only works one time for the most part.

Yep, the last 2 consulting companies I've worked for came from recruiters on linkedin. And then there are the recruiters from other companies that I had to turn down because the clients they wanted me to work for were in locations I didn't want to travel to at the time. Once the company has contacted me though, I'm…

First off, I'm a consultant, so things are a little different. I have many recruiters for various consulting companies that reach out to me on a regular basis. I'll say I'm in the middle of a 6 month contract so don't bother me till I'm getting close to the end of the contract, they usually wait, although some will…
