  1. Re:Create More Hobs ??? on California Moving Forward With Big-Screen TV Power Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Pi should be 4. 3 already gets to be a prime, and part of Fibonacci. 4 is always left out.

  2. Re:Peering on Affordably Aggregating ISP Connections? · · Score: 1

    if it's primarily there to provide a secure link for site to site transfers though, then both external IPs are already configured once you set the VPN in the router config. I agree though that it gets far more messy to use the link aggregation in a non site to site configuration.

  3. Re:Peering on Affordably Aggregating ISP Connections? · · Score: 1

    I know linksys has a couple routers (both the RV042 and RV082) that supports 2 incoming broadband connections with link aggregation (or it can use it as failover) if you used two of these and set up a VPN it would be fairly cheap/easy (under $500 easy) I just looked on their site but since the Linksys business stuff is now buried in Cisco's crappy site, i was unable to find a link. I've seen them at Fry's plenty of times. I've used several of them and they tend to be fairly stable.

  6. Re:Mod me flamebait if you like... on $358 Million Patent Judgment Against Microsoft Overturned · · Score: 1

    To be fair.. Lucent started as an ATT spinoff, which was later merged into Alcatel..

    this pisses me off moreso because despite how many fantastic things Lucent has come up with, they never quite seem to do well. strange that considering that it's apparently completely ok to steal their work.. I'm just hoping that since they're now a (mostly) french company that this can be rehashed in a non US court where it might be somewhat useful to do so.

  7. Re:damn! on AMD's DX11 Radeons Can Drive Six 30 Displays · · Score: 1

    i have 3 17" and one 24" currently running on my pc. i gave away my 19" because it didn't have the same pixels/inch as the other 4 (19" but same resolution as the 17" screens)

    biggest issue in that setup is that 2 screens are using the onboard nvidia, and the other 2 are using an ATI PCIe card. leads to some interesting "quirks" at times.

    and if you're caught doing $bad_thing, they can go after you for that and don't need to go after you for lying to immigration.

    On the other hand if they only *think* you did $bad_thing they can't prove that you lied to immigration either, so it's essentially the same sort of backup as having 2 copies of your important files on the same drive.

    Not as a one time thing.. but since brush grows during spring/summer, and somehow fires all seem to happen in late summer, im sure *someone* with a lawnmower could potentially discover some sort of way to make it safer on a ~monthly basis..

    uhm.. hold down shift while you stick the cd in.. it's not that complicated. yes, that doesn't disable it for more than that one insertion, but you get used to just hitting shift when you end up bouncing around to several computers a day.

    i agree. Actually, when the girl who currently hurts my brain, throws me a curve, it plays all sorts of hell with me and various systems. I end up somewhat physically ill over it all. I'd much rather put another nail trough my hand than deal with the suckage of a broken heart.
