    The first time I saw someone do this at work, I thought "are you fucking retarded?" then I saw literally dozens of other people doing it. Mind blowing.

    Hurray! With 64 bits, Firefox might be able to address all the memory it uses...

    Firefox and the OS will still need ZFS' 128 bit filesystem for the swap space.

    No problem asking: they were both business accounts. I was trying to keep a lot of the stuff in-house as I'm an admitted control-freak but decided to drop the DSL and do more on remote *nix boxes. The price is about the same and I get a full 100/100 Mbits on the remote ends.

    Oh I should note that this was pretty basic load sharing (I won't grace it with the term "load balancing") not failover.
    A script would ping out through each interface and if one went down all traffic was rerouted out the other so failure of one link didn't botch things up.

  12. What I did. on Ask Slashdot: Best Connect Scheme For a 2-ISP Household? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I did this a couple of years ago with DSL and cable. My choice was to use OpenBSD's Equal-Cost Multipath Routing. I've seen other hardware devices that accept two broadband connections but the OpenBSD option was much more elegant and allowed some good granularity in traffic control (ie.: traffic to my cable ISP's billing page may as well go through the cable connection)

    I had a couple of lines in pf.conf as so:

    table <route_cable> persist file "/etc/route_cable"
    table <route_dsl> persist file "/etc/route_dsl"

    then would force the network ranges/IPs contained through the appropriate interface.

    I dumped the DSL about a year ago but this worked very well for me. YMMV. Mail me if you'd like more info/tips.

  15. Think harder... on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 2, Funny


    So how much did it cost per unserved household to get them broadband access? A whopping $349,234, or many multiples of household income, and significantly more than the cost of a home itself.

    Why don't they just run a single line into the center of the trailer park and install a switch for distribution?

    RIM was cool back in the day when data was super-expensive. They came up with a then-innovative end-to-end service to cut data consumption to a trickle.

    Those days are over, people want streaming video, full email, full browsers, etc. on their phones.

  18. Re:When will they learn? on BlackBerry Code Signing Server Outage · · Score: 2


    Apple doesn't require access to their code signing servers to run an app-in-progress on development devices or the simulator.

    If this outage happened at Apple , it would have affected (only?) those uploading apps to the store.

    Donkey Kong always reminds me of that great Mentors song Donkey Dick:

    Lyrics to Donkey Dick :
    I got a donkey dick, it'll make you sick
    I got a donkey dick, it's big and thick
    I got a donkey dick, it's a hell of a fact
    I got a donkey dick, it's where it's at

    I've got a great big donkey dong
    It's over 15 inches long
    I've got a great big donkey prick
    So shut up bitch and suck my dick

    I got a donkey dig, it's big and long and white
    I got a donkey dick, it packs a lot of might
    I got a donkey dick, it's fucked old bags
    I got a donkey dick, it's so long, it brags

    I've got a great big donkey dong
    It's over 15 inches long
    I've got a great big donkey dong
    So shut up, bitch, and listen to the song

    I got a donkey dick, it will pass your test
    I got a donkey dick, you will say it's the best
    I got a donkey dick, and I'm not a real goal
    I got a donkey dick, and it will really pack coal

    I've got a great big donkey dong
    It's over 15 inches long
    I've got a great big donkey dick
    So shut up bitch and lick my prick

    Donkey dick, donkey dick
    I got a donkey dick
    I got a donkey dick, it's a real fact
    I got a donkey dick, it's where it's at

    Donkey dick, suck my prick
