  5. Easy... on Are High-End CPUs Worth The Money? · · Score: 0

    Here is an easy to understand comparison to show cheaper is better.

    Say I had $10,000 to spend on cpus; a 1.3ghz athlon costs $133 and a 1.4ghz athlon costs $166.

    With $10,000 i could buy 75 1.3ghz cpus, or 60 1.4ghz cpus. That's a total of 97.5ghz @ 1.3ghz, or 84ghz @ 1.4 ghz. This proves that it would be better value to build a cluster out of slightly slower cpus.

    The breakeven point (where you get the same ghz for the same price) is at $670, where you could buy 5 1.3ghz cpus for a total of 6.5ghz, or 4 1.4ghz cpus for a total of 5.6 ghz.

  6. Smaller MTU... so what? on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 0

    I have noticed many people complaining about having an 8 byte smaller mtu... This has no effect on internet bandwidth at all. This is just to your isp; they are committed to giving you the bandwidth they have advertised. It just means that you send more packets/second to your isp than your isp does to the internet.

    > tag your system

    I believe you mean by using a trojan horse, to send the attacker an email, or logon to some private irc network to inform the hacker of your ip. This is not possible unless you are dumb enough to run programs of whos origin you dont know, or run IIS, or any other exploitable software.

    HAHAHAHA guess what, i host chaz.ro0t.com, as well as web *and* mail for a few other domains, using my dialup modem, because i cant get cable or dsl where i live. and my isp disconnects me every 2 hours. stop spouting bs.

    note, my friend might be getting cable soon, and she said she doesnt mind me dropping a freebsd box there :o)

  9. Re:annoying nit on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 0

    UH, BT have always used PPPoE for their ADSL (Residential and Business 500 plans, im not sure about the Business 500PLUS and Business 1000 planes). I know, because I have friends using them and I've helped set up NAT for them.

  10. Re:Why is PPoE bad? on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 0

    WinRoute (www.tinysoftware.com) handles PPPoE connections just as any other connection, and shares using NAT quite nicely :o)

  12. In England.... on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 0

    BT have used PPPoE ever since they introduced ADSL, which i think has the largest user base of any isp in britain. I dont see what the problem is, its no harder to share over a network, which i think is what all the fuss is about. Plus it allows the use of MPPC compression, which speeds the downloading of compressible locations such as websites, text and postscript files even more. If you consider i can get 5-to-1 compression using a modem at 46.6kbs, at 576kbs (as is the standard BT OpenWorld plan, thats a total of 2,880 kbits/second, or 360 kilobytes/sec. I imagine the americans have it at even higher speed, so QUIT COMPLAINING DAMMIT.

    Filters block more 'safe' sites then they restrict access to unsafe sites. Even when it blocks a site there are plenty of ways to get around... ie simple cgi script on your webserver to download the page then convert filtered words, ie cun7 etc.
