Partitioning Bandwidth Using Mac OS X?
dasboy has this query: "I was wondering if anyone knew of away to partition bandwidth amongst a group of computers running Mac OS X? I have a [few Macintosh machines] at home all on the same LAN and all on the same Internet connection. One of these machines is used by my daughter when she's home from school. The biggest problems happen when she begins downloading large files (I'll let you guess what she downloads <grin!>). I was wondering if there are any cool BSDish ways of constricting the amount of bandwidth her computer uses?"
...have you tried talking to her about it? :)
A much better message than teaching them to blindly obey all laws! In the state I'm in, it's illegal for a person of legal drinking age to ferment legally obtained materials for the purpose of drinking. It's also illegal for me to drive down the main street more than three times in a single hour. Sodomy is straight out. If you don't pick and choose what laws to obey, you are begging to be lead by the nose... good for those who like latent dictatorships, not so hot for the rest of us. By all means, encourage your children to download (steal? not worth arguing) music... it's one of the easiest ways you have of making sure they have a backbone.
I've had this sig for three days.
