  1. Off by a little bit... on Krebs Is Back Online Thanks To Google's Project Shield (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Krebsonline DDoS was 600gbits+, not megabits.

  2. Re:Is this News? on Cox Comm. Injects Code Into Web Traffic To Announce Email Outage · · Score: 1

    Adblock isn't, by default at least. I saw it here once on my phone and then on my laptop, both running firefox with adblock.

  3. Re:Posting from Cox in Irvine, CA on Cox Comm. Injects Code Into Web Traffic To Announce Email Outage · · Score: 1

    Using Google DNS & L3 DNS here (Gulf Coast). It doesn't matter what DNS provider you use, I don't think, it hits you anyway. I don't think the west coast is affected by the outage, though. At least, that's what Cox says.

  4. Re:Verizon on Ask Slashdot: Best Cell Phone Carrier In the US? · · Score: 1

    Depends on your location.

    This.

    Verizon has been the strongest as far as signal and speed form my experience.

    It's the exact opposite in southern (don't know about northern) Louisiana.

    Lafayette region here, no problems with signal...voice/3g/4g all work fine.

  5. Re:Story is wrong: on USS Enterprise Takes Its Final Voyage · · Score: 2

    She ain't floating, though ;)

  6. Bordernode.com on Ask Slashdot: Best Inexpensive VPS Provider? · · Score: 1

    I use http://bordernode.com/ Cheap (they have a 30% off coupon right now), works...etc etc.. What's not to love? I have their cheapest plan w/ the gbit upgrade, use it for an IRC server. DDoS-filtered, un-metered inbound bandwidth, ('only' 500gb outbound) can't really complain for $20-something a month.

  7. Wow, I didn't know on Google/Facebook: Do-Not-Track Threatens CA Economy · · Score: 1

    California had an economy; I thought they just had a clusterfuck.

  8. Re:The price is actually pretty nice on Gigabit Speeds At Home In the US · · Score: 4, Informative

    I know nothing about it, but my guess is that it's only 1 Gbps to the router room of the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga. From there it presumably rides their T1 to the Internet. (Or whatever they have.) Also, it's probably 1 Gbps download / 128 Kbps upload.

    It's symmetrical. https://epbfi.com/you-pick/#/fi-speed-internet-1000

  9. Re:It's always refreshing on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    Dude, it's "The Learning Channel." They don't promise what you'll learn. You learn what not to be, how not to act, how many kids not to have, and good reasons not to get limbs lopped off. If it weren't for TLC I'd be a whiny bitch with 20 kids, 1 arm, no legs, and weigh 1/2 ton. Thank god TLC is there for me. Without god I don't know what I'd do.

    TLC stopped being 'The Learning Channel' about a decade ago. Now it's just TLC, doesn't mean squat.

  10. Re:Is the AI any better? on OpenTTD 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    ....and I'm wasting heaps of cash on something that just isn't worth it ;-)

    Like building and maintaining a steam line in 2040? :D (Guilty as charged, your honor!)

  11. Re:Nothing new on Own Your Own Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    F-4 !=F-14, which is what the GP was referring to

  12. Re:Just take a train. on TSA Wants You To Keep Your Seat, and Your Hands In Sight · · Score: 1

    And how would one cross the ocean, exactly, in a train?

  13. Re:Have you guys ever... on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 1

    movies about your mom get a lot of attention these days

    that's what she said!

  14. Re:Test flight examination? on "Frickin' Fantastic" Launch of NASA's Ares I-X Rocket · · Score: 1

    Well be careful, it could also something like what has happened on the 2010 movie starting to occur, keep on watching maybe this "spot" will propagate to the whole planet then afterward, Jupiter will become our second Sun. Welcome to true global warming ! ;-))
