I'm looking forward to the 16bits of colorful lovin and the infinite expandability of the springboard. I can't wait to do menial server admin tasks from my car:D
Anyone who watched FOX in the early nineties knows why they are green...
There was darkness, there was light
There was day and there was night
There was wrong and there was right
And then there was me...
You didn't even know me but you treated me like dirt
You didn't even know me but you called me a jerk
I'm from a planet near a star you wouldn't know (its very far)
They're calling me the man from mars
And I think they're insulting me
They tried to take my special suit
They said my head looks like fruit (what is fruit?)
(Put your hands up or I'll shoot)
I don't have hands, across the galazy I flew
Heard a peaceful message sent by you
Now I find your judged by color and size
I can't believe what you call my...
I's the guy who sails the sky
But I think I'd like to live here
I'd like to share your mountains
Share your trees and share your rivers
I've never seen so many beings of so many colors
I'd like one day for you to say that I can call you brother
And then there was we...
I'd like to learn about your pizza and your weather
And we could learn about how beings live together
And then there was we...
So if you're thinking about being a spaceman
It don't matter if your black or white
Or purple or green or blue or red
Or yellow with polka dots on your head
Or made of snow
Or made of wheat
Or looking like somthing thats... kind of a tree
I like your hat
Call me insane, but by my team of mathematical geniuses have worked long and hard, and have disclosed that, by their calculations, this would put Linux in at #3. I will admit, however, that these numbers have not yet been certified, and we are awaiting a manual recount of the actual number of operating systems.
If there is life out there (and I'm sure there is), I wonder what they call our galaxy, etc.
Science fiction teaches us that aliens will call us earthlings. Who's to say they havent already named our planet "Ass", and and would respectfully refer to us as "Assholes"?
Think of the net's elite as the surface, and the Joe Users as the volume. Now, as the net's volume increases, so does the surface area. It's just that the ratio is expanentially getting higher.
There are more smart users than there were 10 years ago. It's just that the number has been growing slower than the number of keyboard-monkeys.
Yes, but I've never been one to let popular ignorance supercede my own intelligence:)
Besides, the Network+ and CCNA cert exams still use broadband and baseband as shown above. CompTIA and Cisco certifications are industry standard. Media buzzwords are not.
Besides, "Broadband", as used by most providers, is correct.
Unless someone drastically changed some configurations since I left, the computer name field (netbios name) is what is used to assign the IP. How do I know? First off, I did it for a living. Second off, DNS is disabled in @Home network settings. DNS servers are assigned by DHCP.
Exactly my point. You will never get a new address.
With @Home, your netbios name is binded server-side with your 'computer name' (c53029-a). The DNS looks something like this:
c53029-a.city1.st.home.com
I doubt very much that @Home is willing to play musical DNS. It's easier to just give you the same IP. DHCP saves time on the installation and on the tech support calls, which saves the company money.

Yeah, I would hate to see someone make themselves look foolesh.

"NT and Windows 2000 operating systems"
NT and Windows 2000.
Operating systems.
Call me insane, but by my team of mathematical geniuses have worked long and hard, and have disclosed that, by their calculations, this would put Linux in at #3. I will admit, however, that these numbers have not yet been certified, and we are awaiting a manual recount of the actual number of operating systems.
Personally, I think these failures point to one very clear and evident fact: someone is up there, and they DON'T want us bothering them.
If there is life out there (and I'm sure there is), I wonder what they call our galaxy, etc.
Science fiction teaches us that aliens will call us earthlings. Who's to say they havent already named our planet "Ass", and and would respectfully refer to us as "Assholes"?
Oh well. I guess it's better than "McPeople".
Why? Easy, surface area to volume ratio.
Think of the net's elite as the surface, and the Joe Users as the volume. Now, as the net's volume increases, so does the surface area. It's just that the ratio is expanentially getting higher.
There are more smart users than there were 10 years ago. It's just that the number has been growing slower than the number of keyboard-monkeys.

Get yours Super-Sized(tm)!
If you are tired of /., then maybe k5 or slackers guild are more up your ally
Star Wars leads to Legos. Legos lead to link on Slashdot. Links on Slashdot - lead to suffering.
You obviously missed the point. The inventing the net joke is funny because its nowhere near being funny. So unfunny it makes you laugh.
like saying "poopie" during a meeting.
I touched on that briefly in my Pro-Gore Rant over at Slackers Guild. I submitted the article to /., but it was rejected.
So much for my dreams of being slashdotted.
Safe return?
What would he do, upload back to the MS ftp server? Maybe burn it to a disk and mail it to them?
Actually, its l0pht. Well, actually it's @Stake now. Or @Steak, if you want.
Yes, but I've never been one to let popular ignorance supercede my own intelligence :)

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure fiber could be considered broadband, depending on how its used.
AFAIK:
Broadband:
- Uses many signals over a single pipe to carry data.
Baseband:
- Uses a single signal to carry data over a pipe.
Now, if they use multiple colors of light for the transmission of data over the actual line, wouldn't that be true broadband?
Please correct me if I am wrong here.
Reminds me of the episode where Homer starts his internet business
COMIC GUY
I need a 1.5 megabit per second T1 line thats compatible with my token ring ethernet adapter.
When the episode aired, my girlfriend looked at me and said "is this stuff real, or is he talking out his ass?"
If she doesn't know, neither do the masses. But the producers made it (mostly) accurate anyways. Just one more reason I love the Simpsons

"so fsck'in buzzwordy, they make my head hurt."
Yeah, not at all like "fsck".
"I bought Win4Lin instead, and I'm really impressed with it, it runs at nearly the original speed!"
"but as I have no masochistic tendencies, I will keep using the fastest solution."
So Win4Lin was a waste of money since you are using Windows anyway.
Electronics Boutique (and others?) sell a Gizmo that is 100% Furby compatable. Looks like someone beat you to the idea.
Not that Furby is that far off from a Magui to begin with...
No offense, dude, but...
What?

"Not neccessarily Naster"
You are correct on that one.
What part of @Home do you work for?
a dvd player for under a hundred bucks? where? seriously, a decent one costs about $150 - $200.
Exactly my point. You will never get a new address.
With @Home, your netbios name is binded server-side with your 'computer name' (c53029-a). The DNS looks something like this:
